Over 100,000 ‘Asylum Seekers’ in Germany Were Already Safe in Greece

Muslims in Germany: Caliphate is the solution

Asylum seekers are presumably safe once upon their arrival in Greece. Yet thousands upon thousands are continuing their journeys to Germany anyway.

New data—revealed as part of a response to a parliamentary question from the Green Party—show that well over 100,000 migrants with protection status recognised in Greece have reapplied for asylum in Germany.

SLOBODIAN: When ostriches and whales die, so does Canada

The ramifications of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) invading Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC, to seize its herd run far deeper than government goons hellbent on culling healthy ostriches.

The planned slaughter of 300-330 birds asymptomatic of avian flu (H5N1) — no matter how CFIA tries to justify it while rejecting other options — is distressing, unethical, cruel, and, experts say, unnecessary.

‘Canada burned the bridges’: U.S. ambassador doubts tariff deal feasible before new year

The U.S. ambassador to Canada doesn’t foresee a new security and economic deal between Canada and the United States — which could see the reduction or full removal of tariffs amid an ongoing trade dispute — before the new year.

“We have stopped negotiations with Canada,” Pete Hoekstra said in a keynote address to the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Business Canada on Monday. “I don’t see any way that there will be an agreement before American Thanksgiving.”

“I’m not sure what it’s going to take to get people back to the table in a constructive and positive mode,” he added.

Mysterious light flashes in 1950s sky photos have long been linked to UFOs – scientists now have an explanation

Mysterious “star-like” flashes of light spotted in photographs of sky surveys in the 1950s have long been associated with the reported sightings of unidentified flying objects or UFOs.

These flashes, lasting less than about 50 minutes, appear in one photo, but are gone before the next is taken of the same sky region.

Proposed explanations for this anomaly have ranged from asteroids to unidentified anomalous phenomena, or (UAPs), which is the new official name for UFOs.

But now, scientists have found a strong link between these flashes and above-ground nuclear weapons testing.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Carney must not give in to China’s temptations

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s in a bind. On one side, there’s U.S. President Donald Trump, strangling our auto industry and cutting off trade talks, in the wake of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s “Reagan was right, you are wrong” ad campaign. On the other, there’s Chinese leader Xi Jinping, offering to lift restrictions on agriculture and seafood imports in exchange for Canada dropping its ban on electric vehicle imports from China. Decisions, decisions.

Onus is on Mark Carney to end impasse with Donald Trump, business and union leaders say

OTTAWA — It’s all on Prime Minister Mark Carney to mend the broken Canada-U.S. fence in the eyes of many of tariff-hit business and union leaders.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who said he has no intention to meet Carney, will officially cross paths with the Canadian prime minister Wednesday evening when both attend a leaders’ dinner in Gyeongju, Korea hosted by the Korean president as he hosts the Asia-Pacific annual summit.

What if Xi elects to exert maximum pressure on Carney in light of his failure with Trump.

We’ll all be speaking Mandarin next year.

New York Special The Democrats Choose the World Over America

Hakeem “Temu Obama” Jeffries, the House Minority Leader and a congressman from New York City, did not want to endorse Zohran Mamdani.

Jeffries especially didn’t want to endorse Mamdani in the middle of a government shutdown that his party caused by filibustering a short-term budget continuing resolution that, in a few days, will result in missed paychecks for essential federal workers and a suspension of benefits for recipients of programs like SNAP, which is what the old food stamp program has become.

To do so is to embrace a full retreat from the American mainstream.

China controls the rare earths the world buys – can Trump’s new deals change that?

US President Donald Trump has signed a flurry of deals on his Asia visit to secure the supply of rare earths, a critical sector that China has long dominated.

The deals with Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia differ in size and substance and it’s too early to assess their tangible impact. But they all include efforts to diversify access to the minerals that have become essential for advanced manufacturing, from electric vehicles to smartphones.

The agreements, which aim to lock partners into trading with the US, are a clear bid to reduce dependence on China, ahead of a key meeting with its leader Xi Jinping.

More migrant hotels will radicalise Middle England

For years, a commonly invoked argument against those who support continued high immigration into the UK has been that they rarely choose to live in diverse areas. They are hypocrites, it is claimed. Soon, however, this argument will be much harder to make. That’s because, according to newly published Home Office documents, more than 90% of councils across the UK will be housing asylum seekers by the end of the year, up from 82% earlier this summer.

As part of efforts to phase out the use of migrant hotels, the Labour government plans to relocate an additional 40,000 asylum seekers to areas including London and the South and East of England. Current provisions can accommodate 46,640 individuals, yet a total of 66,000 remain in need of “dispersal accommodation” — a mix of houses, flats, and bedsits.

With one week to go before the budget, it’s still not clear how the Liberals will avoid an early election

OTTAWA — With one week to go before Mark Carney’s government tables its first budget with no clear partner in sight, the Liberals and opposition parties are pointing fingers at each other in an attempt to shift the blame in case of a snap election.

The minority Liberals have 169 seats — just three seats shy of a majority — which means that they need to find at least three MPs from the opposition benches to either support their budget or abstain to ensure that they survive the confidence vote on the budget.

HEATHER KLEIN: If Muslim nations can reject the burka, why can’t the West?

For centuries, women have fought to be seen, to be heard, and to be treated as equals. We’ve battled to step out of the shadows, into workplaces, schools, governments, and the public eye. Yet today, in the name of “tolerance” and “religious freedom,” we are told to accept a garment that erases women entirely. The burka, an all-encompassing veil that hides every inch of a woman’s body including her face, is not a symbol of faith. It is a symbol of control, and it’s time we stop pretending otherwise.
