Gad Saad, a longtime Concordia University professor known for his outspoken criticism of “woke” politics as well as his denunciations of antisemitism, has announced he’s moving this summer to the United States.
Can’t argue with that tweet.

Why more US women are moving abroad: ‘It’s because of Trump, right? Yes and no’
It was in 2022, when Americans were reeling from the news that the supreme court had overturned Roe v Wade, that Jen Barnett got a firsthand glimpse of just how viable her new business could be.
Days before the court ruling, she had launched a website aimed at Americans looking to move abroad. As confusion and consternation set in over what the ruling meant for US women, Barnett watched traffic to her website steadily tick upward. “We had this huge spike.”
It was all she needed to co-found her company, Expatsi, which has since helped thousands of Americans looking to move abroad. Women remain a key part of her demographic, making up around two-thirds of her clients. “If it weren’t for young women, this business wouldn’t exist,” she said.
Trump demands power to veto Greenland deals with China
Donald Trump has demanded a clause that would amount to a “veto” over any future Chinese or Russian investments in Greenland, The Telegraph can report.
Diplomatic sources have revealed that preventing Beijing from accessing the substantial mineral reserves buried deep beneath the ice has become a key objective for the Trump administration in talks over the island.
Officials from the United States, Greenland and Denmark have been locked in secret negotiations over a deal that satisfies the US president’s desire to control the territory.
John Ivison: ‘Dangerous politics’: Trump suspends joint defence board with Canada
The moment when Canada moved from Britain’s orbit into America’s can be dated precisely to Aug. 17, 1940.
That was the day when Canadian prime minister William Mackenzie King and U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Ogdensburg Agreement that defined the principle of the joint defence of North America.
The agreement, drafted in pencil and without consultation with either cabinet, established the Permanent Joint Board of Defence that has been in place ever since.
Justice is coming for victims of dangerous illegal-migrant truckers
A facet of the trucking industry little known to the general public has had a big impact on highway safety — and last week a US Supreme Court ruling ensured that it will have to take responsibility for the rigs it helps send out on the road.
That means innocent Americans who have been maimed or killed in big-rig crashes caused by negligent truck drivers may finally pursue justice.
And freight brokers that chase profits by contracting with unsafe trucking carriers — particularly those that hire unvetted illegal-immigrant drivers — will have to rethink their business practices.
Thousands gather in Washington DC for daylong America-themed prayer rally
Thousands of people streamed on to the National Mall for a daylong prayer rally on Sunday billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation Under God”.
Against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, worship music blared from a stage that made clear the event’s Christian focus. Arched stained-glass windows, set underneath grand columns resembling a federal building, depicted the nation’s founders alongside a white cross.
“America is done with God, and God is not done with America,” said Pastor Samuel Rodriguez.
The White House-backed event has drawn broad criticism for blurring the lines between church and state, as prominent Republican officials appeared to speak alongside a slate of mostly evangelical speakers.
It upset the Guardian, that’s always a good thing.
Pentagon Suspends 86-Year-Old Canada-US Defense Board, Citing Ottawa’s Failure to Meet Commitments, in Direct Rebuke of Carney’s Davos Speech
WASHINGTON – On Monday morning, the Pentagon’s senior defense strategist suspended the oldest bilateral defense institution in North American history and pointed the announcement at Mark Carney’s Davos speech — a four-month-old address the Canadian prime minister’s admirers had called Churchillian, and that Washington now treats as a case study in the gap between rhetoric and reality.
A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American…

Cuba denies plotting drone attacks on Guantanamo Bay
Cuba has denied purchasing more than 300 military drones and plotting to attack the US base at Guantánamo Bay.
Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, the country’s foreign affairs minister, described a report that Havana had acquired an arsenal of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as “fraudulent”, adding that it was being used as a pretext to justify American “military aggression”.
Maduro’s billionaire ‘bag man’ deported to US despite Biden pardon
A billionaire tycoon accused of being a “bag man” for Nicolás Maduro, the deposed Venezuelan dictator, has been deported in the United States.
Alex Saab faces trial and another spell in a United States prison less than three years after he was pardoned and freed by Joe Biden as part of a prisoner swap.
His deportation continues Delcy Rodríguez’s ongoing purge of senior apparatchiks in the Maduro regime.
Islam And The American Experiment
Islam is not a religion in the sense that Western Civilization understands the word. Islam is a fusion of social, political, and theological authority. It is antithetical to our constitution and, in practice, has been militarily hostile to America since our nation’s inception.
‘Feeding Our Future’ Convict Points at Ilhan Omar
Founder and former executive director of Feeding Our Future, Aimee Bock, finds herself sitting in custody as one of the central figures in one of the ugliest COVID-era fraud scandals in America. A federal jury convicted Bock in March 2025 on seven counts tied to wire fraud, conspiracy, bribery, and federal program fraud.
U.S. links Toronto consulate shooting to alleged Iranian-backed commander
An Iraqi national charged in the United States with terrorism offences has been linked by prosecutors to the March shooting outside the U.S. consulate in downtown Toronto back in March.
U.S. prosecutors allege Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi and others were behind the Toronto attack, as well as a second attack targeting a synagogue in Canada, while also coordinating nearly 20 attacks across Europe tied to an Iranian-backed militant network.
Another instance of the US informing Canadians of Muslim terror activity in our country.
Trump should exact a heavy price for saving Castro’s Cuba
Residents in Havana, Cuba, who had been sitting in darkness for the better part of a day, poured into the streets on Wednesday night. They blocked roads with burning rubbish, erected barricades, and shouted at the government to turn the lights back on. By Thursday, the blackouts had encompassed the island in the latest round of nationwide shutdowns. Some areas are reporting power losses lasting 24 hours a day, with the capital enduring outages stretching beyond 22 hours.
Cuba is facing growing protests as its strained power grid leads to blackouts of up to 22 hours, while the U.S. increases pressure on the government to make “fundamental changes.” pic.twitter.com/mR8FZmMFgS

The Falkland Islands are richer than Britain, but anxiety’s in the air
Tony Scales was playing cards below deck with three friends — a game of Sergeant Major — when the announcement came over the loudspeaker: “Take cover!” He barely had time to react before the explosion ripped through the ship.
“It was like being inside a big flame,” he said, standing on a wind-blasted hillside looking over the bay where the RFA Sir Galahad was hit by Argentine jets on June 8, 1982. A total of 48 people were killed, including 32 Welsh Guardsmen, in one of the deadliest single incidents for British forces in the Falklands conflict.
US Secretary of State Official Weighs In on stupid woke Canadian University DEI Complaint ruling
U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers has again spoken out on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in Canada, this time commenting on a tribunal ruling that found views opposing “systemic racism” theories are not grounded in political or legal principles.
The decision involves a Simon Fraser University political science professor who was denied a job because he did not support DEI.
The B.C. human rights tribunal decided against holding a hearing on the issue last month. Adjudicator Devyn Cousineau said in her April 15 ruling that the educator had no reasonable likelihood of proving that he was denied the position because of his political views, because opposition to DEI did not constitute a political stance under the law.
