Let’s clear something up: There is no such thing as “government-funded.” That phrase gets thrown around too often in press releases and campaign speeches, as if it describes some magical pot of money the government pulls from the clouds. But every cent the government spends comes from you. It’s taxpayer-funded. It’s money taken from your paycheque, your gas tank, your grocery bill, your property, your business. Every government “program,” every “announcement,” every “investment” they brag about is done with your money.
Let’s conduct a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that Nazism had broken out of its wartime German-dominated confines and had become the creed of millions throughout the West.
Let’s imagine that, for the past 21 months, the streets of London, New York and other Western cities had become forests of Nazi flags as hundreds of thousands of people marched for the ethnic cleansing of Jews—mob events justified as exercising the “right to free speech.”
Imagine that thousands of young people waving the Nazi flag at a rally in England had chanted “Death, death to the Jews!” while a demagogue leapt around the stage whipping the crowd up to a delirium.
Western elites greenlit Islamist immigration.
Until they are made to pay and pay dearly for this crime it will only get worse.
Mark Carney has vowed to maintain the Supply Management system for dairy, poultry and eggs in Canada, pandering to Quebec which holds this system dear to its heart. To cement this, he passed a Bloc sponsored Bill on June 5 bolstering support for the system by removing his Foreign Affairs minister’s privilege of changing it in any renegotiation. Unfortunately for Mr. Carney, and perhaps for Canada, this is unlikely to satisfy Mr. Trump who has announced his displeasure at the unfair trade practice.
Paris. June 21, 2025. Annual Music Festival. Ten years ago, orchestras played peacefully in the streets. Families strolled and stopped to listen. Security reigned and was taken for granted. In recent years, the atmosphere has changed — radically. Families no longer go out. Young men coming from the Islamic suburbs flood the city, prevent musicians they do not like from playing by shouting insults and threats, and by attacking anyone who gets in their way. This year, more than a hundred rape complaints were filed with the police. Countless knife attacks have left dozens injured. Stores are looted. What took place in Paris also took place in every major city of France.
No other author has chronicled the nihilistic spirit of our times with such pitiless clarity.
Whether Michel Houellebecq is a great writer will be debated for as long as his books are read. What few will deny is his status as one of the early 21st century’s most challenging and original artists.
That might not be saying a great deal. After all, the first 25 years of the new millennium – at least in the West – are unlikely to be remembered as a time of great artistic or intellectual originality. Just look at recent winners of the Turner Prize, or read one of Sally Rooney’s novels.
Still, Houellebecq stands out thanks to his willingness to say the things other writers don’t dare to. In an era when artists and authors tend to share the same ‘progressive’ worldview, Houellebecq has consistently refused to bend the knee to fashionable orthodoxies. He remains a critical figure for those who still believe in a writer’s ability to capture the unique ‘spirit’ of the age they live in. Taken together, his works chronicle and explore the creeping sense of decline shared by many in the West.
Strings of radars stretching across Canada were built to give early warnings of Soviet bombers coming over the Arctic. The region now faces a new era of militarization.
At the crossroads of Golf Street and Armed Forces Street, a large banana-shaped metal memorial on a pedestal gazes at the open sky in northern Canada. All but forgotten, its lower half blackened with time, it now stands forever still — or in repose, one might say.
In its glory days during the Cold War, the artifact — a radar — spun and bobbed with balletic grace, spat out bursts of waves and listened for echoes, as it continuously scanned the skies for Soviet bombers sneaking over the Arctic.
“It’s really crazy when you think about it, that this radar was the raison d’être of our whole town,” said Frédéric Maltais, who grew up in Chibougamau, a city in northern Quebec, on a military base that was shuttered at the end of the Cold War and became a golf course. “Imagine all the resources that went into managing one radar like that.”
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE: Ottawa’s top science advisor revives UFO research
Canada’s chief science advisor quietly launched a government project to study unidentified flying objects and the possibility of alien civilizations, without parliamentary oversight or a public budget.
Dr. Mona Nemer, who earns $393,000 a year, began the Sky Canada Project two years ago and assigned seven staff to the initiative.
Ghada* was 15 when she fell pregnant with her third child.
For three years, she had been married to an older man – a man her father had paired her with out of perceived necessity.
‘My family is poor,’ she explained. Her father ‘accepted the first proposal for the marriage that came to him, not only for me but for my sisters, not caring that we were only children’.
While Canada’s official goal in trade negotiations with the U.S is to remove all tariffs imposed on us by President Donald Trump, it’s now clear this is an aspirational target rather than a realistic one.
The realistic one is to negotiate a deal with Trump that Canadians can live with, given that the U.S. President, a self-described “tariff person,” is on a campaign to use them to demolish the existing global economic order in favour of the U.S.
A new national survey reveals that more than half of Canadians are experiencing burnout as rising living costs, heavier workloads and unpaid overtime push workers to a breaking point.
The survey, conducted by Harris & Partners, a Licensed Insolvency Trustee firm, gathered responses from 1,731 Canadians and found 58% reported feeling burned out or emotionally drained in the past year.
Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo shows where the Democrat Party is headed. It’s up to populist Republicans to stop the country from going there, too.
The victory of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, in New York City’s Democrat primary has conservatives searching for answers. Unfortunately, many are attributing it to college-brainwashed rich kids, dismissing the notion that hardworking people in an expensive city could find price controls and free public transit attractive.
The CBC didn’t become broken overnight. For decades, concerns were quietly raised about bias, lack of viewpoint diversity, and leadership more focused on an agenda than journalism.
But this week’s very public resignation of Travis Dhanraj changed that. Not because it was shocking, but because it confirmed what so many already knew. Hiring practices, internal politics, and a growing editorial slant weren’t one-offs. They were systemic.
Canada’s reinvestment into its Armed Forces was long overdue, and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s announced plan to increase defence spending to 5 percent of the GDP by 2025 was welcome. Canada has long faced criticism from NATO allies for its refusal to meet the defence spending obligation of 2 percent of the GDP.
Canada’s military has been working with antiquated equipment and low budgets for a long time. Canadian troops deployed to Poland in 2023 were forced to seek out their own food sources while on duty. When we can’t even feed our forces when they are on deployment, we have serious issues.
