Brussels Under Pressure To Tackle ‘Sharia Policing’

Brussels Under Pressure To Tackle ‘Sharia Policing’

Sharia “moral police” must be stopped in Europe, a Swedish MEP has warned, as he demands Brussels track and expose groups accused of harassing residents.

Sweden Democrats (SD) MEP Charlie Weimers said an “EU-wide monitoring framework” should be established to count individuals working to implement strict sharia rules, accusing them of “harassment, intimidation, and threats.”


Importing Islam was an act of pure evil.

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Federal officials quietly tested public appetite for cutting funding to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Crown corporations, with internal focus group research showing Canadians are open to reductions as Ottawa looks for ways to rein in spending.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the research, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and conducted by The Strategic Counsel under a $1.6 million contract, found participants frequently pointed to Crown corporations like the CBC and Canada Post as areas where the federal government could scale back expenditures.


Bet the polling will mysteriously experience a sea-change.

Let Our Allies Have Iran

Let Our Allies Have Iran

As a kid, I remember the old saying, “Never let your mouth write a check your butt can’t cash.” Many a nose has been bloodied over a bounced check of this sort. That doesn’t stop the vast majority of people from continuing to write checks that, at a minimum, could bring their account balance unsettlingly close to the negative. One such person, I hate to say, is President Donald Trump on Iran.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada — the medical resort of the developing world

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada — the medical resort of the developing world

Medical tourism in the West is considered a luxury: you travel to a place with top-of-the-line doctors who can be seen faster than you’d ever expect at home, undertake a battery of tests more thorough than what’s generally done at home, and receive an assessment more all-encompassing than, again, would be expected at home.

The Green candidate who thinks Iran should bomb the White House

The Green candidate who thinks Iran should bomb the White House

Feda Shahin, a Green candidate in Bournemouth, was first exposed – for different extremist statements – by The Spectator on 21 April. We disclosed she had said that ‘the Zionists killed 20 million Christians’ and that ‘Zionists are trying to control the world.’ She is ‘secretary general’ of a local pro-Palestine group, the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which earned national notoriety after it staged a night-time picket of an MP’s private home.

Those remarks were, it turns out, only part of Shahin’s wide repertoire. We have now been passed her conversations in the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s group chat, including her reaction to our previous story about her. This was not, it’s fair to say, shame, apology or regret. Instead, she said The Spectator was running a ‘trolling campaign’ – deliberately posting inflammatory statements to provoke emotional responses.

Trump announces pause on Project Freedom

Trump announces pause on Project Freedom

President Trump announced a pause on “Project Freedom” on Tuesday evening based on a request from Pakistan and other countries but added that the U.S. Navy blockade of ships in the Strait of Hormuz will remain in place.

“Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Louise Arbour a partisan pick and wrong choice for Canada’s Governor General

Louise Arbour a partisan pick and wrong choice for Canada’s Governor General

For a position that is supposed to be non-partisan and represent all Canadians, Louise Arbour was exactly the wrong pick to become Canada’s next Governor General. That’s not on Madame Arbour, who I hope serves with grace and dignity while in the job. Botching the pick is completely on Prime Minister Mark Carney.

When Arbour’s name was first floated in the media, I doubted the reports, thinking there was no way that Carney and his team would be so foolish as to make such a political, partisan pick.

Not many approve …

ABC, CBS OMIT Palisades Firebug and His Luigi Mangione Fixation

ABC, CBS OMIT Palisades Firebug and His Luigi Mangione Fixation

The Elitist Media evening newscasts rightly accorded significant coverage to last year’s deadly Southern California wildfires. It is therefore unfortunate that they seem mostly disinterested in covering the arrest and revealed motive of the individual suspected in starting the Palisades Fire.

ABC and CBS did NOT cover the arrest of Jonathan Rinderknecht. ABC covered the end of the litigation between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, while CBS covered the Met Gala. There was simply no time to spare.

Defence spending plan will send federal budget deficit soaring, watchdog warns

Defence spending plan will send federal budget deficit soaring, watchdog warns

OTTAWA — Achieving Canada’s long-term goal for defence spending would add $63 billion to the federal budget deficit by 2035 — almost double this year’s projected shortfall, Parliament’s budget watchdog says, suggesting the military rearmament drive will add pressure to the government’s currently “sustainable” fiscal blueprint.

The estimate was included in a series of reports published Monday by Parliamentary Budget Officer Annette Ryan that highlight a lack of detail on major initiatives following the Liberal government’s spring economic update last week. While the PBO concluded that current and growing debt levels are sustainable in the long term, the government hasn’t yet included all of the promised cash for defence in its spending projections, according to one of Monday’s reports.

Why Is Trump Not Restarting The War?

Why Is Trump Not Restarting The War?

To many of us, it is a mystery why Trump is not pounding the crap out of Iran after its numerous violations of the ever-so-shaky “cease-fire,” in which the US is mostly ceasing, and Iran appears to be happy to fire.

Seen in isolation, it seems obvious that Trump should be unleashing hellfire on Iran for any number of good reasons, ranging from the ever-perilous “looking weak” to the dangers of prolonging an economic crisis that is hurting Americans, our allies, and the political prospects of Republicans in the midterms.
