An Italian far-left activist-turned-MEP is pleading to avoid extradition to Hungary, where she faces up to 11 years in prison for her alleged role in brutal Antifa-linked street attacks.
In a video posted the other day to all her social media channels, Antifa ‘Hammer Girl’ Ilaria Salis pleads with her fellow MEPs not to revoke her parliamentary immunity, otherwise she will be a prisoner in “Viktor Orbán’s regime.”
BANFF — Prime Minister Mark Carney, in an attempt to “use maximum pressure against Russia,” has pledged $2 billion in spending, and an additional $2 billion in frozen Russian assets.
Carney also promised President Volodymyr Zelensky sanctions “against a number of individuals in Russia,” sanctions against over 40 entities “in Russia and beyond that are trying to contribute to the evasion of these sanctions,” and “the sanctioning of over 200 vessels in the shadow fleet that Russia is using to evade these sanctions.
He’s as bad as Junior.

Ontario’s Doug Ford says Netflix documentary on late brother Rob Ford is ‘disgusting’
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a new Netflix documentary about his late brother Rob Ford is “disgusting.”
The doc titled Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem chronicles Rob Ford’s rise to power as Toronto mayor in 2010 and his chaotic time in office.
Speaking at a news conference in Toronto, Doug Ford said he wasn’t going to watch the film, and he doesn’t see eye-to-eye with the creators.
I would still vote for Rob.
Various EU nations have endured an outbreak of sexual assault and violent crime as a result of compliance with EU migration policies.
On June 9th 2025, two migrants were arrested and charged with the attempted rape of a 14-year old Irish girl in the town of Ballymena.
In response, scores of beleaguered Irish people have now, for days, cascaded throughout the streets of Ballymena, in an effort to decry and protest the hyper-liberal migration policies that have decimated public safety in their hometown and transformed the once-noble Irish nation into a morass of violent crime and sexual assault.
Mark Carney’s election platform did not include giving himself the power to suspend the entirety of federal law and, by extension, democracy. But that’s what he aims to do with Bill C-5, which he hopes to ram through by Canada Day.
Conservatives, astonishingly, haven’t ruled out helping the prime minister on this front, which is a royal shame since they’re our last line of defence.

A gang of “stupid criminals” got more than they bargained for when they allegedly tried to steal a car from Premier Doug Ford’s Etobicoke driveway.
Ford’s OPP security detail, which guards him around the clock, pounced when masked men attempted to snatch a family vehicle early Tuesday morning.
“Do you want to hear about stupid criminals? You’ve ever seen that show about stupid criminals out there?” Ford told reporters at transit station construction site hours after the incident.
This has to be one of the best prank videos of all time. pic.twitter.com/g1GNfSRLCR

In the world of the Ecuadorian Amazon, humans, plants and animals are relatives, and ancient stories reflect real ecological relationships and Indigenous knowledge rooted in profound connections to the land. But one of those connections – ceremonial medicine known as hayakwaska – is now marketed as a mystical shortcut to healing and enlightenment. Behind the scenes of these “healing retreats” lies a deeper story of cultural erasure, linguistic distortion and ongoing colonisation masked as wellness.
A legal loophole stops officers intervening once a vessel is afloat. The Times visits a beach where police play cat and mouse with migrants trying to reach the UK
As dawn broke over the dunes at Gravelines, northeast of Calais, officers from the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité, a special mobile French police force, were already on the beach.
Overhead, a surveillance plane circled, monitoring movement along the 3km stretch of beach and on the dune system behind it, which offers cover to smugglers and to asylum seekers trying to get past police to board boats.
To watch the war between Ukraine and Russia, and the wars between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah/the Houthis/Iran, is to be reminded of how unprepared Canada is. After decades of neglect, the Canadian Armed Forces are poorly armed, and in some important respects, they are not armed at all.
For example, when the Russian military invaded Ukraine in early 2022, two weapons were key to Ukraine’s ability to resist: anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles.
The Canadian Army used to have several different weapons systems to defend soldiers on the ground against air attack. These were all retired by 2012, and nothing replaced them. Ottawa purchased an advanced air-defence missile battery last year, known as a NASAMS, but only for the purpose of donating it to Ukraine. The Canadian Forces don’t have this kit.
Donald Trump has ordered an immigration crackdown on “third world” liberal cities as he ramps up his efforts to carry out the “largest mass deportation program in history”.
The US president said he would “expand efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens in America’s largest cities”, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
Writing on Truth Social, the Republican leader, 79, called the blue cities a “Democrat power centre” and said he wanted ICE to focus on “places where sanctuary cities play such a big role”.
The University of Saskatchewan’s law school allows some of its Indigenous students to take more time on exams for the purpose of “equity.” So, when this blew up into a faculty controversy in 2022, with proponents of the benefit aghast that anyone would ever question the idea as others quietly made their concerns known to student leaders, one member of the law school tried to make peace between the factions — only to be punished by the university for his efforts.
We regret to inform you that MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had another normal one. During an interminable “No Kings” rant to open her eponymous show, she thought she was making fun of Brevard County, Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey. Instead, she further embarrassed herself in front of her audience.
New England governors say tariffs and anti-Canadian rhetoric by the United States government is taking a bite out of tourism, with some states seeing a drop of up to 60 per cent in visitors from north of the border.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said Canadian tourism to her state and others such as Maine, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont is down between 20 and 60 per cent compared with last year.
I can understand the reluctance to travel based on current relations with the US but as big a cause is that Canadians have been impoverished by a horrid Liberal regime.
