My dad shot dead my karate instructor on live TV when I was 11. Any other father would have done the same

No amount of training could have protected disgraced karate instructor Jeff Doucet from the surprise attack that awaited him when he arrived at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport on March 16, 1984.

Doucet was escorted through the terminal in handcuffs in front of a procession of TV news cameras.

Lurking by a bank of telephones with his back to the commotion, a baseball cap pulled down over his eyes, and a receiver pressed to his ear, was an incensed Gary Plauché. He had a score to settle.

Nationalism Should No Longer Be a Dirty Word

It is time for us to take back the idea of patriotism from the elites, and to free national consciousness from all the negative labels they have attached to it.

Amid all the confusion and uncertainty about Donald Trump, trade tariffs, and the prospects for peace in Ukraine, one thing should be clear: the “End of History” dreamworld of the globalist elites is itself coming to an end. Their fantasy of a peaceful, prosperous borderless world order run by bureaucrats and bankers has been brutally exposed.

Instead we live, as I wrote here last month, in “a new world of nation states.” Democratic nations now have to wake up and defend the interests of their people in turbulent times.

EYRE: Westerners facing a crucial fork in the road

Preston Manning’s idea of a “Canada West Constitutional Conference” would begin doing something about the prospect of another four years of Liberal, anti-Western rule.

The opening line of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto (1848) reads: “A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism.” Well, these days, a spectre is haunting Western Canada, too, but it sure ain’t communism.

Jordan Peterson says Canadians choosing path of ‘severe pain’ with Mark Carney

If Canadians elect Liberal Leader Mark Carney in the 2025 election, they will have chosen the path of “severe pain,” Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson said in a Tuesday interview with American podcaster Joe Rogan.

“People correct course either by waking up or by experiencing severe pain, and it looks to me like we’ve chosen the severe pain route,” said Peterson, forecasting that a Carney government would yield accelerated economic decline and an increase in social disorder.

The Untold Story of How Israel Failed on October 7

The Hebrew word mechdal has no precise equivalent in English. It signifies a great catastrophe for which human beings are responsible by inaction, error, or irresponsibility. The Yom Kippur War of 1973, which began when an unprepared IDF was taken by surprise by simultaneous Syrian and Egyptian attacks, has often been referred to as a mechdal. The October 7, 2023, attack was an even greater mechdal.

The more you learn about the events of that day, the more it seems that almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong. In fact, things could easily have gone far worse.

Canada’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decade. The numbers prove it

If Canada had stuck to 2015 trends, we’d all be $4,200 richer per year, and thousands killed by crime, drugs and health shortages would still be alive

Throughout the 2025 campaign, the Conservatives have frequently referred to what they call the “Lost Liberal Decade,” a reference to the fact that Canada has lagged dramatically on virtually every available indicator since the Liberals first came to power in 2015.

In sum, the economy is worse, crime is worse, public services are worse, affordability is worse — and there’s a whole galaxy of niche indicators, such as firearms incidents, refugee backlogs, even life expectancy, that are worse than they’ve ever been.

What Do You Think Your Neighbours Are Doing?

A Different Way to Read the 2025 Federal Election

With four days left before Canadians cast their ballots in one of the most unpredictable and high-stakes elections in recent memory, we’ve been doing everything we can to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.

This past weekend, while many pollsters asked their standard vote intention questions, we tried something a little different.

Instead of asking Canadians who they personally plan to vote for, we asked: “How do you think most of your neighbours are voting in this election?”

Worth a read and worth a watch.

Trump’s purge of the professionals

The attack is terrible — and deserved

If you see someone glued to the Slack app on their phone, or lugging around a MacBook at a coffee shop, please salute them. They aren’t just doing their email jobs — they’re troops in the Great Class War of 2025.

I’m referring to the Trump administration’s shock-and-awe campaign against the hard-to-define strata of college-educated Americans who perform “knowledge work”. They are often dubbed the professional managerial class, or PMC for short. This month, scribes at The Atlantic and New York published essays lamenting the Trumpian war on the professionals. PMCs are “being targeted for political, cultural, and perhaps economic extinction” by the White House, wrote Ed Kilgore. He’s got a point. Now that we’re entering the fourth month of Trump II, it’s clear that when the President repeatedly uttered, “I am your retribution” with comic-book-villain bravado on the campaign trail, he wasn’t bluffing.

Bernie Sanders: The Socialist Who Scammed America

Talks like he’s broke, lives like he’s Bezos.

It’s been a busy few weeks for Bernie Sanders, traveling around America on his Fighting Oligarchy tour. The message is clear: billionaires are bad, the economy is rigged, and the people must be empowered. Crowds roar, fists raised in solidarity. The same speeches. The same outrage. The same thunderous applause. The same garbage.

While Sanders decries wealth inequality and corporate greed, he zigzags across the country in the ultimate symbol of elite privilege: a private jet. Not once. Not in an emergency. Just this past quarter, his campaign spent more than $220,000 on private air travel, an expense completely at odds with the populist, working-class image he’s spent decades cultivating.

Mark Carney wants to phase out oil and gas—just how much would that cost Canada?

Natural resources are an important economic theme in Canadian economic history, and their development is a key source of the nation’s wealth. Whether wheat and barley, timber and pulp, mineral products, or oil and gas, the export of these resources—the export of resource staples— has been instrumental in generating employment and value-added industries as well as helping drive the development of national transportation infrastructure.

Indeed, Canada is generally acknowledged to have what trade economists refer to as a comparative advantage in natural resource products.

Why Hamas Must Not Be Allowed to Keep Its Weapons

As the war in the Gaza Strip is about to enter its 20th month, the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group has once again repeated its refusal to disarm. It says the weapons are needed to continue its fight against Israel. Those who believe that Hamas would ever agree to lay down its weapons are living in a dream world. There is, unfortunately, only one way to convince Hamas to disarm: military force.

Recently, two senior Hamas officials, Mahmoud Mardawi and Bassam Naim, announced their group’s absolute rejection of any proposal related to laying down its weapons. They said that other Palestinian terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip also reject any plan to disarm.

Bjorn Lomborg: Net zero’s cost-benefit ratio is crazy high

In 2021, Canada committed itself legally to achieving “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050. At various times, prime minister Justin Trudeau promised climate action would “create jobs and economic growth,” as well as a “strong economy.” The truth is that net-zero policies generate vast costs for very little benefit — and Canada would be better off changing direction.

Navy Scraps Biden-Era ‘Climate Action’ Plan, Returns Focus To Warfighting

The U.S. Navy officially scrapped a Biden-era “climate action” plan for the force on Tuesday, signifying the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to refocus the military towards warfighting.

“Today, I’m focusing on the warfighters first, and I’m rescinding the Biden administration’s climate action program. Our focus needs to be on lethality and our warfighters,” Navy Secretary John Phelan announced in a video message.
