Contrary to what many in the West believe, some countries dislike democracy, preferring the strongman, the firm ruler, the dictator.
So it is with the Liberals who have shunned accountability and democracy in favour of the autocratic leader.

Liverpool attack not terrorism, suspect acted alone, police say
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — British police were holding a 53-year-old man on Tuesday over a collision that turned a joyous soccer celebration in Liverpool to tragedy and sent more than two dozen people to hospitals, four of them in very serious condition.
Merseyside Police said they are not treating the incident as terrorism and are not looking for other suspects. The force has not identified the arrested driver. Police in Britain usually do not name suspects until they are charged.
Update – Liverpool parade update: Driver followed ambulance through roadblock as number of injuries increased to over 60
“Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims told a press conference: “It is believed the driver of the Ford Galaxy car involved in this incident was able to follow an ambulance onto Water Street after the road block was temporarily lifted so that the ambulance crew could attend to a member of the public who was having a suspected heart attack.”

The shooting of Israeli embassy workers didn’t happen in a vacuum. And it could happen in Canada next
What we have witnessed in Canada and other Western democracies over the last year and a half is the rapid establishment of social licence.
Social licence for the type of violent extremism that resulted in the assassination of two Israeli embassy diplomats, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, in Washington last week. Social licence for the open celebration and justification of the murders – from extremist voices, yes, but also from academics, influencers and a former Green Party candidate in the recent Canadian election – by people convinced that emptying a gun into two people on an American sidewalk is a defensible form of “resistance” against the actions of a foreign government half a world away.

GUNTER: Federal civil servants out of touch with reality of private-sector counterparts
Nathan Prier, president of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees, one of the federal government’s largest unions, said earlier this week that Treasury Board president Shafqat Ali and the rest of the Carney cabinet must make regaining the trust of federal civil servants one of the Liberal government’s highest priorities.
Britain is world’s second most potty-mouthed nation
Britons are the second most prolific swearers in the world, behind only the Americans, a study has found.
Profanity is commonplace in language globally and is often used to emphasise a point, accent a sentence, or as a form of stress and pain relief.
A new analysis of 20 English-speaking nations compared the frequency of swear words in the language and analysed almost two billion words on 1.8 million different websites.
FOURNIER: Sudden, catastrophic power loss… if it happened in Spain, can it happen here?
An increasing number of Albertans are now aware of the risks associated with dependency on wind and solar generators. These naturally produce less power during periods of peak seasonal demand. (For example, Arctic winter storms.) Less well-known is another risk that is emerging as these intermittent generators become further integrated into our grids — loss of frequency control, caused by intermittent power generators — wind and solar — leading to blackouts.
French MPs To Vote on One of the World’s Most Extreme Euthanasia Laws
Deterring a suffering loved one from receiving a lethal injection could earn you up to two years in prison and a €30,000 fine.
French MPs are preparing to vote on a law that would legalise euthanasia and assisted suicide. In the final days of the parliamentary debate, as the proposal’s provisions were reviewed, some of the most outrageous articles were discussed and, unfortunately, many were adopted.
For several days, the voices denouncing the text have been growing. The proposal that MPs are preparing to vote on will make France one of the most permissive countries in this area, alongside countries that have sunk into increasingly serious abuses of ‘assisted dying,’ such as Canada and Belgium.

Smackdown 2025: Homan vs AOC
In the political cage match that America didn’t know it needed—2025 has delivered. On one side: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the self-anointed heroine of the progressive revolution, armed with Instagram reels, virtue signals, and a dogged resistance to anything resembling border enforcement. On the other: Tom Homan, the no-nonsense former ICE director turned Trump’s new immigration enforcer—armed with the law, federal authority, and a mandate from the American people.
The poisonous legacy of BLM Britain
The killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis five years ago sparked a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. That summer, millions took to the streets in the name of racial justice as BLM protests spread from the US to Western Europe.
