The FBI’s Role in America’s Next Jihad

How you let a sleeper cell stay warm.

Have you ever wondered if the FBI is compromised? Weaponized? Crooked—not just against criminals, but against us?

What if I told you they had a jihadi, caught cold—explosives, martyrdom pledges, ISIS communications, blueprints to kill Americans—and they let him go.

Not because they didn’t know. But because they didn’t want to act. Maybe they’ll tell you they were building a bulletproof case. But the reality is—they were protecting a lie.

Record flood of investors behind Canada’s housing crisis

Douglas Todd: Canada’s distorted housing market calls for more than ‘cranes on the skyline,’ given that investors now own one in three homes. There are other ways.

This week three of four Canadians declared they have no confidence in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ideas for solving the country’s housing affordability crisis.

Like most premiers and mayors, Carney is promising to “build, baby, build” to stimulate a record amount of housing construction. But Angus Reid Institute polling suggests the public is more than skeptical, perhaps in despair.

While voters understandably get lost in the complexities of solving a house-price catastrophe that sees average prices at a ridiculous $1.2 million in Greater Vancouver and $1.1 million in Toronto, at least one veteran housing analyst is making a clear and devastating case that Canada’s dilemma is being significantly fanned by a wave of investors.

White first-aid dummies ‘show Police Scotland institutionally racist’

One of Scotland’s most senior police officers cited the use of white first-aid training dummies as evidence that Police Scotland was “institutionally racist”, it has been claimed.

Calum Steele, a former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, said the claim had been made more than once as part of a “self-flagellation” from a force reliant on lobby groups for advice and approval.

Santa Clara University’s Crazy Idea of Human Sexuality

I’m a graduate student in marriage and family therapy at Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution. Recently, I walked out of class. Prof. Chongzheng Wei had just played a video of a female “influencer” engaging in sexual bondage activity. When the lights came up, the professor smiled and asked if we wanted to try it ourselves. Maybe it was a crass joke to break the tension, but I didn’t want to find out if a live demonstration was next.

What began as a simple accommodation request in a required course called Human Sexuality turned into a case study in the reshaping of therapy training—not by science but by critical theory, a worldview that filters human experience through left-wing assumptions about power, oppression and identity, particularly regarding race, “gender” and sexuality.

GIESBRECHT: Carney smarter than Trudeau and looks unfriendly to West

Are the Carney Liberals different from the Trudeau Liberals, and can they keep Canada from falling apart? Although the possibility of Quebec separating is always there, the very real possibility that Western Canada will go its own way has never faced an incoming prime minister.

But after a decade of the Justin Trudeau Liberals’ version of governing, it is suddenly the existential issue for Carney. Unless he can demonstrate that the Carney Liberals are not just a more sophisticated version of the Trudeau liberals who brought us to this low point, the reality of Western independence appears to be only a matter of time.

Welcome to šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street: Vancouver’s newest street name is also its first using alphabet other than English

Vancouver’s newest street name is set to be the city’s first officially named in an alphabet other than English: šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street.

The new name, which comes from the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language of the Musqueam First Nation, will replace Trutch Street on Vancouver’s West Side if city council approves a staff report at a meeting next week.

‘Unreliable’ UK not told in advance about Israel’s attack on Iran

The UK was not officially informed about Israel’s attack on Iran before it happened and provided no support to the mission, it is understood, highlighting the deteriorating relationship between the two countries.

Diplomats said it appeared Israel no longer considered the UK to be a “reliable partner” after Sir Keir Starmer placed sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers this week.

Military planners inside the Ministry of Defence were braced for the strikes on Thursday night. However, the UK appeared to have been cut out of the loop on the operation, despite being involved in previous strikes.


If Britain is out Canada is on ice for good.

The Prime Minister hits the ground running, unconcerned by deficits, principle or the rights of Parliament

Tuesday marks a couple of anniversaries of sorts for Mark Carney. It will have been 100 days since he was elected leader of the Liberal Party and, as such, became Prime Minister of Canada. And it will have been 50 days since the general election confirmed him in that position.

What have we learned in that time about his philosophy of government, and – a related but distinct point – his approach to governing?

WARMINGTON: Peel, York, Toronto Police let public know they are monitoring Israel-Iran war

On this Friday the 13th coming after major preemptive military strikes by Israel in Iran, GTA police services are taking no chances.

Toronto, Peel and York police stepped up with messages to the public and have deployed strategies to respond just in case they are needed. Everybody is hoping they will not be. But with the possibility of World War III on the horizon, they have done their due diligence to make sure their citizens are safe.

The diplomatic war over the £16bn haul of treasure beneath the Caribbean

With 70 guns and about 400 hands, HMS Expedition was exactly the kind of ship-of-the-line that formed the backbone of the 18th-century Royal Navy.

At about 7pm on June 8 1708, she fired a broadside that not only sent a Spanish enemy carrying 600 people onboard to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea but, after the passage of more than three centuries, triggered a diplomatic and legal row that has suddenly escalated.

The dispute is over the wreckage of the San José, a galleon carrying a priceless hoard of gold, silver and emeralds from Panama to Colombia for onward travel to Spain.

The Supreme Court Swats Down Discrimination Double Standards

The 1964 Civil Rights Act made it illegal to base employment decisions on protected characteristics, including sex and race. It doesn’t contain a carveout for “reverse” discrimination against majority groups—nor does it create special, extra-demanding legal standards for such cases.

And yet courts in several of the nation’s appeals circuits have long made these cases harder to bring. In the Sixth Circuit, for instance, plaintiffs from majority groups have had to show “background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.”

Jamie Sarkonak: New Liberals offer more of the same old attitude on immigration

In case you were still wondering whether the federal government’s attitude has changed under its new leadership — well, it hasn’t.

In a House of Commons debate earlier this week, the new Liberal immigration minister, Lena Diab, evaded questions, defended her government’s record of over-immigration and finger-wagged the Opposition for drawing a connection between housing shortages and steep population growth.
