Trump: immigration is ‘killing Europe’

President Trump said immigration is “killing Europe” as he arrived in Scotland at the start of a four-day visit.

Speaking to reporters after landing at Prestwick airport on Friday evening, Trump said: “On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore. You got to get your act together.

“You know, last month, we had nobody entering our country. Nobody. Shut it down.”

#MeToo changed our culture, but it couldn’t change our courts

The whole world changed in the near-decade between two of the most high-profile sexual assault trials in recent Canadian history. But inside the courtroom, it was as if no time had passed at all.

Outside, the world had been fundamentally reordered by a pandemic, by a reality TV star twice elected U.S. President, by the murder of a Black man by a police officer on a Minneapolis street, and by a series of sexual-assault allegations against a high-profile Hollywood film producer, which catalyzed a global reckoning with how we view, talk about, and confront sexual violence. The #MeToo movement was supposed to have marked the end of the era where lecherous men could blithely cop a feel behind a cubicle and expect female discretion, and the beginning of a new one where the public operates from the starting assumption of “believe all women.” And in many workplaces, schools and community spaces, things did change.

It was the correct ruling in my view.

Manchester Airport brawl suspect tells court armed officer ‘he attacked’ is an ‘uncontrolled bully with a badge’

An armed police officer who kicked a suspect in the head during an alleged brawl at Manchester Airport was ‘an uncontrolled bully with a badge’, a court was told today.

The trial at Liverpool Crown Court has heard PC Marsden – along with PCs Ellie Cook and Lydia Ward – were involved in the fracas with brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammed Amaad, 26.

Seniors rarely downsize — here’s why that’s hurting first-time homebuyers

Realtor Barry Lebow specializes in helping seniors downsize — moving out of the family homes they’ve lived in for decades to a smaller place that’s a better fit for their aging lifestyle.

From the outside, that might look like the natural progression: feeding a healthy bit of turnover into the housing supply as move-up buyers seek their own family home.

But the reality is a bit different when it comes time to sell, Lebow, who works in the Greater Toronto Area, said in an interview.

‘Not in the Best Interests of Canada’: Business Coalition Pushes Back Against Ford & Other Premiers’ Call for Deeper Trade Ties With China

A business coalition is raising concerns about calls from some of Canada’s premiers for Ottawa to strengthen trade ties with China in response to U.S. tariffs, calling the move short-sighted and contrary to Canada’s interests.

The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada (CCMBC) issued a statement on July 23, warning that the proposal overlooks China’s record of “unfair” trade practices, human rights abuses, and interference in Canadian democracy.

NAVARRO-GENIE: Alberta deserves a police force that reflects its values

The recent comments from RCMP Staff Sergeant Camille Habel, who decried traditional values as a path to extremism, should be fuel for every Albertan committed to building a provincial police force that truly reflects our values, not Ottawa’s vision of what we should become.

Habel’s statement, framing beliefs rooted in community and local culture as potentially dangerous, highlights a growing disconnect between the RCMP and the values that Albertans hold dear. This underscores the urgent need for a police force that is accountable to our province and its distinct way of life.

The Left Would Rather Embrace Mass Immigration Than Help Struggling Americans

“For a Haitian family in Springfield, Ohio, the house on Chestnut Avenue represented their future in this country. They’re now wondering what can be salvaged,” a recent feature in the Washington Post described. The article — one of several of its kind — attempts to elicit empathy for hard-working, religious Haitian immigrants, trying to grasp their slice of the American dream. In that respect, the WaPo largely achieves its goal. The pro-immigration rhetoric, however, is not only about celebrating diligent émigrés — it’s about maligning the blue-collar Americans they’ve come to replace.

The great ‘supply’ solution to Canada’s housing crisis flounders — further

Douglas Todd: To understand why Mark Carney’s goal of building 500,000 houses a year won’t happen, look to New Zealand and the harsh realities right now of making a profit in real estate.

The unspoken maxim within Canadian political circles, I’m told, is that elected officials just can’t win when it comes to either public health care or housing affordability.

No matter what politicians do, voters will continue to complain about poor access to medical care or feel aggravated about super-expensive housing prices.

That’s often why, when it comes to the massive files of health and housing, elected officials go out of their way to at least look like they’re doing something. And to look like they’re being bold.

They’re Not Sanctuary Cities; They’re Slavery Cities

Sanctuary cities and states exist not for the altruistic reasons blue state leaders claim, but because of profit—the profit of slavery.

Progressives portray sanctuary cities as a necessary means to balance public safety, human rights, and local autonomy in the face of federal immigration enforcement. Sanctuary City supporters harp on false narratives. Thus, they’ll routinely raise a handful of now familiar arguments …
