Only a few years ago, it was impossible to imagine that Canada would become a country within which the overwhelming majority of journalists are paying their mortgages and feeding their kids thanks to the government.
Way back in the 2010s, a scenario such as that would have been considered so morally repugnant, so ethically objectionable and embroiled with conflicts of interest, that it would have been dismissed with a wave of the hand as not just unlikely but impossible.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump opened their first in‑person meeting Tuesday with a brisk handshake outside the Oval Office, then shifted to a lively joint press conference that set the tone for a new chapter in Canada-US relations.
Moments earlier, Trump had used Truth Social to accuse Ottawa of taking “$200 billion” a year in US subsidies and enjoying “FREE Military Protection,” adding that America needs “NONE” of Canada’s cars, energy, or lumber.
If @realDonaldTrump were to say, Canada you’re on your own, what cards does Canada have militarily and economically? And this is the crux of the matter. pic.twitter.com/quUNi4G0BP
CALEDON, ONTARIO – Both outdoor and indoor surveillance video captured six thieves breaking into an elderly woman’s Caledon home in the middle of the night on Wed, Apr. 30 at 2:55 a.m. on The Gore Rd. near Castlederg Side Rd.
When it emerged as the guiding organisational principle of the British state, multiculturalism was sold, in the words of the hugely influential Parekh Report, as “perhaps the country’s biggest single national advantage”. The arrival of peoples from all over the world, bringing with them their unique perspectives, cuisines, religions, dresses, and cultures, would allow Britain to move on from “a narrow, English-dominated backward-looking definition of the nation” into something altogether more vibrant and exciting. Multiculturalism was to “widen a society’s range of options and increase its freedom of choice, for it brings different cultural traditions into a mutually beneficial dialogue and stimulates new ideas and experiences”. All those within society would thereby gain the opportunity to escape the narrow constraints of the culture they happened to be born into, instead becoming free to choose from the plethora of practices they would encounter every day, in doing so creating all sorts of dynamic new cultural mixes.
North African Muslims attacked Flemish supporters of Club Brugge with stones, clubs and knives, shouting "Allah Akbar" because they were white, European and Christian. There is a religious war in Europe that will not end well, but many have not yet understood this. pic.twitter.com/4PFHq2X6Y5
Don’t be surprised at this, but your tax dollars are being spent to subsidize a burgeoning industrial complex bent on producing… nothing of value.
Welcome to the world of carbon capture and sequestration, which is modern capitalism’s answer to Holland’s 17th-century tulip craze.
In case you’re thoroughly unfamiliar with all this, here’s a quick synopsis: chemical plants, oil refineries, and other manufacturing and industrial facilities generally emit carbon dioxide either directly out of smokestacks or indirectly due to using a lot of electricity.
In what was once considered an inconceivable scenario, a London-based law firm acting on behalf of Hamas submitted a legal challenge to the U.K. Home Office demanding its removal from the British government’s list of proscribed terrorist groups.
The case has a Canadian connection, too: Charlotte Kates, co-founder of the Vancouver-based terror group Samidoun, contributed an “expert report” as part of the legal challenge “against the criminalization of Palestinian resistance in Britain.”
The European Union’s decision to grant the Palestinian Authority (PA) a sum of $2 billion to assist them to “reform themselves” can only be the result of willful blindness, cognitive dissonance and what by now can only be ascribed to a proud European tradition of Jew-hate.
The PA, despite claiming to be secular, is saturated with an Islamist mentality in support of jihadists. The PA plays the West by displaying a veneer of reasonableness, victimhood and the bogus claim that it would, in an ever-extending future, accept some kind of peace with the Jews. This fiction is supposedly backed by an equally bogus claim that it would be willing — under conditions which would always be suicidal for the Jews to accept — to establish a two-state solution in Israel’s ancestral homeland.
Loud explosions have been heard in several places in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir as India said it had attacked “terrorist infrastructure” in nine sites and Pakistan vowed to respond to the strikes.
Pakistani officials said that a child was killed and two other people injured in missile strikes early on Wednesday.
After the explosions, power was blacked out in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, witnesses said.

Prince Harry is ready to reconcile with his family.
You know those apparently racist pigs who have deliberately tried to trap him and his family. The father who didn’t hug him. The brother and sister-in-law who basically tied him up and dressed him in Nazi garb. And yes, that same brother who “assaulted” him, tossing him onto a dog bowl.
To those rotten folks, the benevolent Prince Harry will see you now. After publicly airing enough grievances for two decades worth of Festivuses, he’s ready to mend fences.
The Teamsters labor union is overjoyed at President Donald Trump’s move to impose tariffs on films produced overseas, applauding it Monday as a “strong step” toward “reining in the studios’ un-American addiction to outsourcing our members’ work.”
The leader of the sovereigntist Parti Quebecois is throwing his support behind a possible referendum in Alberta, saying Premier Danielle Smith is standing up for her province.
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says Smith has used the possibility of a referendum to give her province leverage as she makes demands of the federal government.
A report released by the House Intel Committee today excoriated Andrew McCabe’s politicized FBI for botching the probe into the 2017 Republican Congressional Baseball practice shooting. James Hodgkinson opened fire on members of Congress on June 14 of that year, injuring six people, including Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), who was critically injured.
As Prime Minister Mark Carney prepared to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, Premier Doug Ford took a thinly veiled shot at his Alberta counterpart over her threat of a referendum on separation.
“This is a time to unite the country, not people saying, ‘oh, I’m leaving the country,’” Ford said Tuesday morning in a speech to a group promoting the skilled trades.
