White House pushes back after reports Trump is named in Epstein files

The White House has pushed back after reports that US President Donald Trump was told in May that he was among hundreds of names mentioned in justice department documents relating to late convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The Wall Street Journal said the president was informed of the fact by Attorney General Pam Bondi during a routine briefing. It noted that appearing in the documents was not a sign of any wrongdoing by Trump.

In response, a White House spokesman called it a “fake news story”.

Canada is paying much more to help asylum seekers, and the bills are rising faster than officials expected.

The Immigration and Refugee Board plans to spend $335 million in 2024-25, up 27% from $264 million three years ago.

Ottawa added an extra $87 million after the 2022 Budget when the number of claims began to surpass the system’s capacity.

Royal Bank of Canada shuts down Freedom Convoy lawyer’s accounts over ‘risk concerns’

Eva Chipiuk, a lawyer known for her involvement in the Freedom Convoy and vocal criticism of Canadian institutions, has been blindsided after the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) terminated its banking relationship with her, citing risk-related concerns.

According to an official letter the banking institution sent to Chipiuk, her “recent activity was outside of RBC’s client risk appetite,” and it would “no longer be in a position to continue serving her.”

How Much of a Trade Irritant Is Supply Management as Trump Rails Against Canada’s Dairy Tariffs?

Is Canada’s supply management system for the production of dairy and eggs a major stumbling block in current negotiations between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump?

Trump has certainly mentioned the Canadian dairy sector’s protective policies when airing his grievances about trade relations with Canada. However, he hasn’t opposed it with the same vigour as he recently opposed Canada’s Digital Services Tax (DST).

A filing deadline for the DST—which would have cost American tech giants like Amazon and Google billions in taxes to operate in Canada—was set to come into effect during the trade negotiations on June 30, making it a more visible target for Trump. But how strongly U.S. industry is pushing Trump to target Canada’s supply management, and whether he has other priorities, is also a factor to consider.

Armed hero stops masked ‘church shooter’ with a hail of perfectly-aimed bullets…

There’s a very specific kind of mass shooting story the media doesn’t like to cover… it’s the kind that doesn’t happen because a good guy with a gun stopped it cold.

Roughly a month ago, a man stormed into a Michigan church during Sunday worship and opened fire. It could have ended in total carnage. But it didn’t. Because a legally armed, everyday churchgoer took him down. No military training. No law enforcement background. Just courage, quick action, and a gun.

Jamie Sarkonak: Teachers ranting on Reddit isn’t proof of an Andrew Tate crisis in schools

Kids These Days Dep’t: You may have seen a study making the rounds in recent days decrying the corrupting grasp of Andrew Tate on today’s male youth, titled “‘Trying to talk white male teenagers off the alt-right ledge’ and other impacts of masculinist influencers on teachers.” It gives the impression that roving junior Vikings have taken over classrooms, backing their female counterparts into a corner as they try to learn. It’s a distinctly racial problem and a distinctly male problem, one that teachers are fighting to no avail.

Poll: 62% of Gen Z kids like socialism, 34% like communism

Rikki Schlott at the New York Post reported yesterday on the results of a new poll from the Cato Institute and YouGov which revealed that 62% of Gen Z kids (ages 18–29) held a “favorable view” of socialism” while 34% held a “favorable view” of communism.

Can these young Americans define or recognize either of these systems by the actual (rotten) fruits of their harvests? I guarantee that’s a big fat no, but it doesn’t matter, because they’re voting for it anyway.
