The ghost of the future is walking around Brussels

Molenbeek Belgium

Over the last month, we’ve seen an attack on Governor Josh Shapiro’s home, the killing of a young couple in D.C., and now a Molotov cocktail thrown at people peacefully protesting. By the way, what do these incidents have in common? The targets are all Jewish and the guy in Boulder, Colorado somehow managed to get a work permit after his visa expired.

Where else is stuff like this happening? Let’s check out Brussels, once a very traditional European city that tourists loved to visit. Well, check again because Brussels may be exhibit A of Europe’s disintegration and where uncontrolled immigration is running wild.

Jamie Sarkonak: Judge accuses cop of ‘unconscious’ anti-Black racism with ‘no direct evidence’

Justice Renu Mandhane is one of Ontario’s foremost judicial activists, so it should surprise no one that she’ll stoop to using racism as a basis to let Black men off the hook for possessing illegal guns.

That’s what happened at the end of March in the case of Robert Cameron, who had been pulled over and detained for having outstanding drug charges and a suspended license, and whose car, in the process, was discovered to be illegally housing an unlicensed firearm.

High school is forced to apologize and pay up to student they suspended for using term ‘illegal alien’ in class

An American teen suspended for using the term ‘illegal alien’ in class has finally received justice after his school was forced to apologize and pay out a massive $20,000 settlement.

The year-long free speech saga came to an end after a North Carolina district school board agreed to wipe the suspension off the record of Christian McGhee, who was a 16-year-old when his case was first thrust into the national spotlight by President Donald Trump.

No Backing Down: Wilders Sets Eyes on the Premiership

No one seems to be able to make sense of the political earthquake unleashed on the Hague by the populist firebrand Geert Wilders on Tuesday, June 3rd, by having his Freedom Party (PVV/PfE) quit the fragile right-wing coalition. Wilders cited as the reason his coalition partners’ unwillingness to tighten asylum rules—a key campaign promise that gave him a landslide victory back in 2023.

While some commentators are warning that an inevitable snap election would give the leftist opposition a chance at governance, Wilders remains unfazed by the pessimistic voices. In fact, he has already set course for the ultimate prize: becoming the prime minister who would actually deliver.

Ottawa under fire for withholding deportation data amid immigration concerns

The federal government is refusing to release figures on how many undocumented immigrants remain in Canada, sparking criticism from opposition MPs and reigniting debate over immigration policy and capacity.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner (Calgary Nose Hill) called for a national deportation strategy in the House of Commons, blaming the Liberal government for overwhelming Canada’s infrastructure.

Jesse Kline: Mark Carney fast tracks the road to serfdom

Have you heard the good news: our federal, provincial and territorial leaders all agree on the pressing need to build the critical infrastructure necessary to develop our natural resources, get them to market and turn Canada into an “energy superpower.”

Yet despite all the optimism and goodwill expressed by Prime Minister Mark Carney and his provincial counterparts following the first ministers’ meeting in Saskatoon on Monday, it’s readily apparent that the seeds of disunity and obstructionism are already taking root.

Right on Time, ABC News Would Like to Remind America of Its ‘Islamophobia’

Let’s recap. We’ve had twenty months of radical intimidation campaigns targeting Jews on college campuses in the US. In recent weeks, the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania got firebombed out of the state’s mansion. An assassin executed two Israeli embassy employees and injured several others outside of a Jewish museum in Washington DC. And last week, a self-proclaimed jihadist attempted to murder dozens of Jewish demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower.

The Ford government’s controversial mining legislation has passed its third reading and is set to become law, potentially triggering a face-off with First Nations communities in Ontario.

Among other changes, Bill 5, or the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, will create so-called special economic zones where a range of laws, ranging from municipal approvals to environmental rules or even labour law, won’t apply.

Child of our times: how Japan’s birthrate fell to record low

The country has had nine consecutive years of declining births despite government efforts to halt the demographic crisis

It was a story of extraordinary national renewal. After decades in the grip of military imperial rule, millions dead in a war that traversed oceans and two cities flattened by atom bombs, the Japanese people picked themselves up and made babies.

Between 1945 and 1965, a nascent democracy flourished, the economy boomed and Japan’s population rocketed from 72 million to almost 100 million. By the turn of the millennium, the mountainous archipelago, the vast majority of whose population is squeezed into lower-lying coastal areas, was home to 127 million people, four times the population of Canada, which is 26 times larger.

Lessons from a Disgraced LGBT Nonprofit

The group’s founder pleaded guilty to wire fraud, signaling the need for greater oversight.

With a guilty plea to wire fraud in a federal courtroom last July, Ruby Corado’s fall from grace reached a new low. Corado was once much celebrated in D.C. as the face of Casa Ruby, a nonprofit that promised safe harbor and social services to transgender-identifying and immigrant Washingtonians. Corado parlayed this role into breathless news coverage, an award from the Human Rights Campaign, and a Georgetown speaking engagement. Hundreds of thousands of vaporized taxpayer dollars later, Corado is the face of a scandal that left staff unpaid, clients stranded, and city officials red-faced.

Minister lacked details about CSIS operation linked to asset who reportedly smuggled teens

A federal watchdog agency found a breakdown of ministerial accountability after reviewing a clandestine operation abroad connected to claims a CSIS operative smuggled teenage girls into Syria to join ISIS.

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) released a heavily redacted version of a top-secret report last week. CBC News has now learned the case involving smuggling claims triggered the review into human source operations.

The report found CSIS failed to give the public safety minister enough details about an operation. A CSIS memo also didn’t convey past issues, and that a number of CSIS activities are “problematic and potentially unlawful,” to help guide his scrutiny of the proposed operation, the report said.

Why Hamas Rejected Witkoff’s Ceasefire Plan

The leaders of the Iran-backed Hamas terror group do not seem to be in a rush to end the war with Israel: after all, they and their family members are not living in the Gaza Strip, which has been turned into a war zone over the past 20 months.

Hamas’s political leaders, billionaires funded by Iran’s mullahs and the rulers of Qatar, live in several Arab and Islamic countries, including Qatar, Turkey, Algeria and Lebanon. They and their family members lead luxurious lives in these countries and do not have to worry about lack of food or medicine.
