Sweden Drops ‘Islamophobia’, Votes for Free Speech

Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard recently announced that the Swedish government would be dropping not just the word but the entire concept of “Islamophobia,” out of a preference for freedom of speech.

“We are pushing for the term ‘Islamophobia’ to be replaced with what is called ‘anti-Muslim racism’ or ‘anti-Muslim hatred’ in English,” Stenergard said in response to a question from the Sweden Democrats party. Charges of “racist” or “Islamophobe” are being used worldwide to shut down anyone who questions or criticizes Islam or Islamist doctrines.

Sweden’s decision is long overdue.

‘It has been devastating,’ U.S. spirits group says about Canadian alcohol boycotts

Whether at the grocery store or the NSLC, Martha Reynolds pays attention to where products are from.

“I’m doing my very best to not buy American,” she said outside a Halifax location of the province’s Crown-run alcohol retailer.

For alcohol, this means bourbon purchases have been replaced with scotch whisky, but she’s made other changes as well.

Bryan Brulotte: Europe wants our energy. Ottawa must act now

In a 2022 news conference, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there wasn’t a clear business case for building liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals to export to Europe. This past week, Mark Carney suggested in a media interview that the first thing European authorities are interested in when they sit down with Canada is not our energy. He went on to say that energy is something Canada raises as being part of the solution in respect to nuclear and LNG.

Carney will talk big but nothing will get done.

Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas.

US in closely guarded talks to open new bases in Greenland

The US has been holding regular negotiations with Denmark to expand its military presence in Greenland, according to multiple officials familiar with the discussions, with talks between both sides progressing in recent months.

US officials are seeking to open three new bases in the south of the territory, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, as they work to resolve a diplomatic crisis sparked by President Donald Trump when he threatened to seize Greenland by force.

Trump said in January that the US should “own” Greenland to prevent Russia or China from taking it. He said this could happen the “easy way ” or “the hard way”.

The census seemed designed to determine if you were a bilingual transgender

Some Canadians protest census, express privacy concerns

As some Canadians claim that the federal government’s national census violates their privacy, a Liberal member of Parliament is calling on them to fill out their 2026 census forms for the good of their communities.

Canadians have been asked to fill out the census form by May 12, though Statistics Canada says that’s a “reference date” rather than a deadline.

It’s like they’re on the hunt for the demographics needed to justify the expense of programs serving Swahili Speaking Transgender Geriatrics.

Ground zero: NATO’s drone war comes down to earth in Latvia

Latvian and Canadian troops are conducting a large-scale exercise with ground drones for the first time, taking remote warfare out of the skies and applying it directly to the battlefield.

They’re taking lessons from ex-Ukrainian soldiers and tech companies in a stunning reversal of training roles, and scrambling to adapt the new technology just as the Baltic country is plunged into a political crisis over a mistaken aerial drone strike on an oil storage facility.

“For me, it’s no doubt that drones are coming into the game,” said Latvian Lt.-Col. Andris Bruveris, commander of the Second Mechanized Infantry Battalion, known as the Iron Battalion.

Security around Beijing’s historic Tiananmen Square has been heightened for days, with rumours on social media swirling of a special parade or some big, choreographed event.

Preparations for this major event have started with a whisper, but China appears ready to put on a show for US President Donald Trump.
