John Ivison: Suddenly, Canada seems serious about defence after years of military neglect

The sight of Prime Minister Mark Carney emerging from a South Korean submarine flying the Maple Leaf flag this week was symbolic of the urgency with which the prime minister appears intent on restoring the rusting Canadian Armed Forces.

Carney was in the country to attend the Asia-Pacific Co-operation summit and took the opportunity to visit the Hanwha Ocean shipbuilding facility in Geoje. The Hanwha Ocean company, with its partner Hyundai, is bidding for the multi-billion-dollar contract to build 12 subs to replace the four second-hand Victoria class boats that the Canadian government bought from the British in the 1990s.

Will the Civil War Start in California, Chicago or New York?

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, whose Day One memo had ordered prosecutors to give armed robbers a pass, has announced that he’s looking into prosecuting ICE agents.

While Bragg had let a man accusing of raping a teenage girl go with 30 days and probation so that he went on a “sex-crime spree” attacking four different women until one of his victims hit him on the head with a hammer, he aggressively pursued President Trump and subway hero Daniel Penny who had prevented a crazed homeless man from attacking fellow passengers.

Why are councillors in London running for office in Bangladesh?

Tower Hamlets

The east-London borough of Tower Hamlets has long been a byword for the failure of multiculturalism in the UK, with the area’s large Bangladeshi Muslim population increasingly voting along ethno-religious lines.

Reports on Friday that members of the local council are seeking election in Bangladesh are therefore, to put it mildly, not a good look. According to the Standard, three Tower Hamlets councillors have won the endorsement of the Bangladeshi National Party to fight the 2026 elections, slated for February. The Westminster government has described it as ‘unacceptable’, but so far the councillors are unrepentant. A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets council has insisted that the councillors have broken no law, in England or Bangladesh.

‘We should all live in my fairytale world’ says NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis

‘We can’t keep increasing fossil fuel production,’ says NDP leadership candidate

NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis says Canada cannot keep increasing fossil fuel production, likening the practice to an “addiction.”

Lewis, during a panel discussion on Friday with his main competitors in the race, labour leader Rob Ashton and Edmonton MP Heather McPherson, attempted to distinguish himself by telling the crowd that he would not support further expansion of natural gas, oil or coal in Canada.

“We need really straightforward policies that distinguish ourselves from the federal Liberals,” Lewis said. “We cannot keep increasing fossil fuel production in this country.”

The smiling selfie killers: Teenage girl gangsters laugh and sing after beating 51-year-old man to death

Teenage girl gangsters were seen on video laughing and singing after they beat a man to death in a brutal attack – as they are convicted of killing him.

Anthony Marks, 51, was hit with a car bonnet then chased down, stamped on and beaten with a gin bottle before he was left for dead by the three teenage girls.

Police officers found him with serious injuries to his face and arms at King’s Cross Station at around 5.25am on Saturday, August 10 last year.

Finland Bible Tweet Case Päivi Räsänen

Finland’s Supreme Court on Thursday opened hearings against parliamentarian Dr. Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola in the infamous ‘Bible Tweet’ case, which many consider a defining moment for free speech and religious liberty in Europe.

With their long-awaited budget, Liberals must answer the question: What do we want Canada to be about?

The upcoming federal budget won’t be routine. While budgets are political exercises as much as economic ones, the political exigencies of the day call for a plan to not only manage state finances and to set core policy goals, but to define the nature and purpose of the country itself. As the Trump administration continues its trade war against Canada – and the world – while we stare down threats to our sovereignty, a lingering affordability crisis and a potential recession, the Liberals must make a serious effort to answer the questions “What do we want this country to be about?” and “How do we wish to build the nation – and for whom?”


We know for “whom” and it ain’t us.

How Illegal Immigrant Truck Drivers Ended Up On America’s Roads

“They want the cheapest people behind the wheel and unfortunately by doing that … what we are getting now is carnage on the highway.”

Just a few years after waltzing across the border illegally, Indian national Harjinder Singh allegedly killed three people while making an illegal U-turn on a Florida turnpike as he sat behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler in August.

Singh came into the country in 2018 and was handed a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in Washington in 2023, according to the Department of Transportation. He received his license despite having “failed his written exam 10 times, and he took his behind-the-wheel training course at a private CDL school in Washington,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier recently revealed as part of his ongoing investigation into California’s issuance of trucking licenses to illegal immigrants.

Canadian military wants mobilization plan in place to boost reserves to 400,000 personnel

Over representation of “White” hands merits a hate crime complaint.

The Canadian military has set in motion an initiative to increase the number of its part-time soldiers from the current 28,000 to 400,000 as part of an overall mobilization plan, according to a directive approved by senior leaders.

The directive, signed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan and defence deputy minister Stefanie Beck on May 30, 2025, outlines the need to increase the current reserve force from 23,561 to 100,000 and supplementary and other reserves from the current 4,384 to 300,000.


Impossible! Even the most optimistic estimates declare a maximum of 200K Lesbians, transvestites and foreign terrorists in Canada.

Is it time for Canada to make an auto deal with China?

In 1973, not many Canadians fell in love with a newly launched car that resembled a large toaster and had about the same horsepower. But it was extraordinarily cheap and matched many larger U.S. luxury cars in skilful engineering and reliability.

In its first year it found only 747 customers, though. Three years later, the Honda Civic was the bestselling import in Canada. Price was a factor — $2,150 — but only one. Like big car companies then and now, the Big Three were not known for their thoughtful and reasonably priced customer service.

New York holds its breath

Appallingly, progressive Jews are supporting an unhinged Jew-hater because they define this stance as conscience.

With the Islamist Zohran Mamdani poised to be elected mayor of New York City next week, many have been scratching their heads over how any Jew could be voting for him.

Mamdani is an Islamic terrorism sympathizer.

He supports a boycott of Israel and doesn’t believe that the Jewish state should exist.

He sees nothing wrong in chants of “globalize the intifada.”

Anti-white racism is rampant and must be stopped

The outrage that greeted Sarah Pochin’s comments about the number of black and Asian faces in television adverts has become its own kind of morality play. She was condemned and branded insensitive. Yet, behind the fury lies a deeper, more uncomfortable question: whilst her phrasing was clumsy, was there truth behind what she said?

I believe there was. And it is high time we acknowledged the inconvenient reality of a prejudice that has crept into our national life under the banner of progress: anti-white racism.
