The press scrum after Thursday night’s English-language leaders debate was scrapped only minutes before it was set to begin, after an argument in the media room led the debate commission to conclude it could not provide a “proper environment” for reporters to ask questions of the leaders.

Attorney General Releases Police Records Detailing Abrego Garcia’s Criminal History

On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi released police records showing Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the “Maryland man” who was deported to his native El Salvador by the Trump administration, was in fact a member of MS-13 and was in the United States illegally.

Contrary to the assertions of Garcia’s lawyers (and many in the corporate press) that there’s no evidence he’s a member of MS-13 and that the cops just made it all up, the police affidavit from Garcia’s arrest in March 2019 shows that he was arrested with multiple other confirmed MS-13 gang members, was wearing clothing associated with the gang, and was identified by a confidential police informant as an MS-13 gang member with a rank and a moniker.

Editor for The Guardian whines about Muslim convicts facing ‘disproportionate’ force while incarcerated in English prisons

Rajeev Syal, an editor for The Guardian, recently wrote on the “disproportionate” use of force against Muslim convicts while incarcerated in English prisons:

Muslim prisoners are disproportionately subjected to force including pain-inducing techniques by jail staff, according to new data.

Freedom of information requests found that in eight out of nine prisons with high Muslim populations, Muslim men were more likely than the average inmate to be confronted with batons, made to wear rigid bar handcuffs, or deliberately held in a painful position.

The hilarious meltdown of men who think they’re women

Wall of Transgender Heroines

I’ve found my soundtrack for spring: the caterwauling of fellas in dresses following yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling. It’s delicious. They’re raging about the ‘fascism’ of no longer being allowed to get their knobs out in the women’s changing room. They’re agonising over where they’re supposed to take a shit now. Their Adam’s apples are getting a mighty fine workout as they wail into the void about being ‘erased’ by ‘transphobes’. It’s the sound of men being stripped of their entitlements by women who’ve had enough of their crap, and I am so here for it.

The Health Effects of Cousin Marriage in British Pakistanis

In most of Europe and the Americas, cousin marriage is extremely rare — only a few percent of people are married to their first or second cousins. But in other societies — mostly in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia — it’s much more common. By some estimates, more than 50% of Pakistanis are married to their first or second cousins.

A major problem with cousin marriage is that the children of such unions are more likely to have mental and physical health problems. Why? It has to do with rare recessives.

I wonder what strain Pakistani immigrants have placed on Canadian health services.

Liberal hypocrisy on full display with charge Poilievre’s importing U.S. ‘nonsense’

Let’s start with what isn’t true, what never happened and what’s upside down and backwards about which party in the federal election campaign has been most keen to introduce American manic disorders into Canadian politics.

Joining other leaders around the world in extending pro-forma congratulations to U.S. President Donald Trump on his narrow electoral victory last November, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is said to have said: “I congratulate President Trump on his victory and look forward to joining him in his war against woke, leftist ideology.” Except Poilievre never said that, despite what you might have read on social media. Poilievre is not an admirer of Trump, and Trump certainly isn’t fond of Poilievre.

A Eye-Opening Study on Civilian Response to Active Shooters

Active shooter events have been tracked by the FBI for over two decades. There are interesting results when those statistics are compared to other data. A new study states that civilian responses to these events are less adverse than police responses. The April 2025 study found that “armed citizens do not interfere with police, and in active shooter situations, they reduce deaths and injuries significantly more effectively than the police.”

The AI tribes vying for power

Which will conquer the White House?

Days before the Democrats left the White House, the president’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, issued a stark warning. “The next few years,” he said, “will determine whether artificial intelligence leads to catastrophe — and whether China or America prevails in the AI arms race.”

In this remark, Sullivan displayed far more lucidity regarding AI than did other members of the Democratic establishment. (Take Kamala Harris’ bewildering characterisation of bias and misinformation as “existential” threats.) Their successors in the White House, though, see AI as central to their plans for American dominance. Last week, the Trump administration slapped strict export controls on Nvidia’s H20 chip. And on Monday, the president’s science and technology policy chief, Michael Kratsios, told an audience of technologists that AI would be central to the new “Golden Age of America”.

SNELL: Angry American millionaire hippie endorses Mark Carney

Neil Young – still stickin it to man!

An angry American millionaire hippie named Neil Young has endorsed Liberal Leader Mark Carney for prime minister.

It’s no surprise. Young is known for beautiful artistry and appalling political judgment. He became an American citizen (now dual) in 2020 — presumably to validate his vociferous complaints about Donald Trump. Also, some of Young’s family are American. His career thrived in the United States.

For Conservatives to take the election, these GTA ridings are must-wins

Any feasible path to victory in the federal election for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party runs through the Greater Toronto Area, a region dominated by the Liberals since 2015.

There are 31 seats up for grabs in this election in the GTA, often nicknamed the 905 for its area code. These suburban cities stretching in an arc around Toronto from Burlington through Vaughan to Oshawa are home to more than 2.5 million eligible voters.

The Conservatives came into this campaign with just four MPs in this region, so making gains here is essential to their success at the national level.
