On “Assassination Culture”: It’s Not You, It’s the Left

A new report warns that rising left-wing support for political violence, fueled by online “assassination culture,” threatens the foundations of civil discourse and democracy.

Writing in City Journal, Zack Dulberg and Max Horder, senior fellows at the Network Contagion Research Institute, examined the results of a recent survey to determine why America has experienced a disturbing increase in political violence. The answer should surprise no objective observer: “Progressives increasingly support violence.”

Fed-up Canadians ditch Big Tech giants for obscure alternatives in latest trade war boycott

The next battleground in Canada’s boycott of the US is Big Tech.

Fed-up Canucks are now ditching tech giants like Apple, Google and Meta to make way for obscure alternatives, like an email server called “NorthMail” or a search engine named “Switch.”

Like the travel, booze and grocey boycotts, the tech offensive is being launched by Canadians steamed over tariffs and President Trump’s suggestion to make the Great White North the 51st state in the union.

Polls narrow in race to oust Carney in Canada election

Mark Carney’s poll lead in Canada’s election race has narrowed to just two points, hours before voters cast their ballots on Monday.

In a campaign dominated by Donald Trump’s threats to annex the country, the Liberal prime minister began the month six points ahead of Conservative populist Pierre Poilievre, who is seen as sympathetic to the US president.

However, a poll by Abacus Data published on Sunday, found that the Liberals were on 41 per cent of the vote compared with 39 per cent for Conservatives.

Terror police investigate gun and crossbow attack on women in Leeds

A man has been arrested and counterterrorism police are investigating after three people were injured in an attack involving a crossbow and a firearm in Leeds.

Officers were called to the northwest outskirts of the city at 2.47pm on Saturday to reports of an “ongoing serious incident involving a man seen with weapons”, West Yorkshire police said.

Two women were taken to hospital for treatment. A 38-year-old man who suffered a “self-inflicted injury” was arrested and also taken to hospital. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

What the world makes of Canada’s election

Canadians are heading to the polls to decide on their next government at a pivotal moment in their relations with the US.

The country faces a huge economic challenge in the shape of Trump tariffs on Canadian exports to the US.

And the US president’s pursuit of Canada as part of an expanded US has increased anxieties about national security.

But this election is not just about a relationship between these neighbours and former allies, it is being closely watched in several other parts of the world too.

McTEAGUE: My fellow boomers, Carney’s ‘Green’ obsessions are bad for all of us!

One common narrative of this election has been “The Boomers vs. Everyone Else.” Poll after poll after poll has shown Mark Carney and his band of Trudeau Liberals with big leads among Boomers — Canadians over the age of 60, or so — with younger age groups favouring Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, sometimes by quite a lot.

Ireland’s anti-immigration movement is coming for Dublin

It is a tradition within Irish Republicanism for Easter Week to be marked by parades and marches to commemorate the 1916 Rising against British rule. Yesterday, Ireland’s growing if electorally marginal anti-immigration movement adopted the tradition. Outside Dublin’s Gardens of Remembrance, a woman was doing brisk business selling the Irish Republic flag of the Rising, as well as tricolours adorned with “You’ll Never Beat The Irish”, as tens of thousands of anti-immigration marchers gathered for their largest protest yet.

“They need to be dragged out by their balls,” said one older woman, carrying a commemorative wreath, of the Irish government. She transpired to be the wife of the movement’s emerging leader, the veteran Republican activist and newly-elected inner city Dublin councillor Malachy Steenson. The day was to be a reassertion of nationalist credibility after the politically damaging presence of Southern anti-immigration protestors alongside Ulster Loyalists during last summer’s Belfast riots.

Barbara Kay: Crucial case challenges defamatory accusations of Islamophobia designed to intimidate and silence

Islamism — defined most benignly as “the belief that Islam should influence political systems”— is, according to Joe Adam George, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s National Security Analyst, the “biggest existential threat to Canada within its borders.” Yet, in the English-language leaders’ election debate, when Bloc Québécois leader François Blanchet dangled the word “Islamism” for discussion, nobody took the bait.

Writing on the subject in these pages last year, George observed that, unlike China and Russia, “what makes Islamists such a formidable force to reckon with is their ability to weaponize Islam to silence, punish and deter” their critics. One Islamist group, the politically influential National Council of Canadian Muslims ( NCCM ), is particularly active on this front.

Leftism is killing chocolate

After years of writing about politics, I’m a pretty hardened character. I’m cynical, pessimistic, and, while I’m often disgusted, I’m seldom shocked or panicked. But what I read at the JoNova site was so terrible I’m reeling: “Price fixing kills the cocoa farm.” It turns out that, thanks to price controls in Ghana, one of the world’s primary chocolate-producing countries, chocolate farmers aren’t even bothering to plant new crops. Honestly, I feel quite ill.

What is the ‘alternation’ theory and will Ontario continue the trend on election day?

As Canadians inch closer toward election day, political experts are watching closely to see if Ontario will continue a trend of split-ticket voting, choosing one party to govern at Queen’s Park and a different one to form government in Ottawa.

Often referred to as the “alternation theory,” experts say Ontario has a long history of voting for one party provincially and another federally.

“Since 1867, about 78 per cent of provincial elections in Ontario have been won by a party ideologically different from the federal governing party,” Semra Sevi, assistant professor of political science at the University of Toronto, told CTV News Toronto. “Since 1943, that figure exceeds 90 per cent.”

Good news for Poilievre given Ontario currently has a Liberal government.

Sweden’s elder rape scandal

The sexual abuse of elderly women by migrant carers was shamefully ignored.

In autumn last year, Sweden was shaken by a scandal that shares some disturbing similarities with the grooming-gangs scandal in Britain. It is on a far smaller scale. But in Sweden, as in Britain, it seems that many vulnerable individuals have been raped and sexually abused, while the people whose job it should have been to protect them failed to do so. What’s more, those in positions of authority sometimes downplayed or hushed up allegations because of their low view of the victims and, potentially, the identity of some of the perpetrators.

Clarity or Confusion? What Voters Said They Heard from the Political Parties This Election Campaign

Every successful campaign starts with a clear sense of purpose. Too often, when people hear “message,” they think it means a slogan or a handful of talking points. But a campaign message is far more than a tagline—it’s the central argument, the foundational story a party is telling voters about why it deserves their trust and their vote. It’s the lens through which every policy, promise, and appearance is filtered.

With Canadians heading to the polls tomorrow, I wanted to test whether that foundational story came through for the three main national parties. In our final survey, we asked voters, in their own words, what they thought each party’s central argument was.

Why isn’t it racist to ban white men?

A female theatre director has proposed a year-long ban on plays by writers who are white and male. So long, Shakespeare…

By now, I’m sure that we white men all humbly accept that the blame for every single one of the world’s ills lies exclusively with us. Even so, I was somewhat taken aback to learn of the latest addition to our ever-lengthening catalogue of shame.

Apparently, white men are ruining theatre – because their plays are too successful.
