From Rivers of Blood to The Camp of the Saints

From Rivers of Blood to The Camp of the Saints

This week is the anniversary of one of the most resonant speeches made since the end of World War II. It still echoes down the decades, ringingly relevant to Western civilization, perhaps more today than ever.

At a meeting of Conservatives in Birmingham, England, on April 20, 1968, Enoch Powell warned of the peril of allowing mass immigration from alien and incompatible cultures. A scholar of classics, he wound up his peroration saying, “As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”

Less forward guidance, Mr. Carney, and more accountability

Less forward guidance, Mr. Carney, and more accountability

“Thank you for your time,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said at the close of his recent direct-to-you vlog, titled Forward Guidance. “I know it’s precious.”

That’s nice. He told Canadians he is going to want to talk with them again, but promised to do so sparingly. “I know you have busy lives and you don’t need busy lives from me,” he said.
If that’s the case, the Prime Minister could do with less “forward guidance” and more accountability for results.

The neglected Manchester road so unsafe police ‘won’t walk down it’

The neglected Manchester road so unsafe police ‘won’t walk down it’

Baguley Crescent, near Bury, in Greater Manchester, should be a lovely place to live. The Pennines rise up in the distance, providing a picturesque backdrop, while nearby, a golf course, boating lake and animal centre are nestled in 600-acre Heaton Park.

But Baguley Crescent is far from pleasant. In fact, it is so run down and unsafe that even the police daren’t walk down it. “The police won’t go down unless they’re in multiple numbers because of their own safety,” said Christian Wakeford, the Labour MP for Bury South, last month.

While Mexico Wins Food Trade, Canada Drifts

While Mexico Wins Food Trade, Canada Drifts

There is something almost too convenient in how quickly Canadians point south when discussing unpredictability in trade. Yes, Donald Trump has long been synonymous with volatility. But focusing solely on Washington risks missing a more uncomfortable truth: Ottawa has become just as difficult to read.

Under Mark Carney, Canada’s posture toward the United States has shifted with surprising speed—less theatrical than Trump’s, but no less consequential. In April 2025, we were promised a renewed economic and security partnership. By the summer, we were told the existing deal was already the best possible outcome. Fast forward to April 2026, and suddenly our reliance on the U.S. is framed as a strategic weakness. All of this, notably, after months without meaningful engagement or negotiation.

Anthropic investigating claim of unauthorised access to Mythos AI tool

Anthropic investigating claim of unauthorised access to Mythos AI tool

Anthropic is investigating a claim that a small group of people gained access to its Claude Mythos model – the cyber-security tool which the AI firm says is too powerful to release to the public.

“We’re investigating a report claiming unauthorized access to Claude Mythos Preview through one of our third-party vendor environments,” the company said in a statement.

It was in response to a Bloomberg report that users in a private forum managed to access the model without the normal permissions.

There is deep unease about Mythos’ capabilities – though the UK’s top cyber official has said advanced AI tools could be a “net positive” if the technology was secured from misuse.

Iran says it has seized two ships in Strait of Hormuz after vessels attacked

Iran says it has seized two ships in Strait of Hormuz after vessels attacked

Iran’s navy said it has seized two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz and taken them to the country’s coast after reports that three vessels came under fire from Iranian forces.

Nour News, a website affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) opened fire on the first ship, the Epaminodes, after it had “ignored the warnings of the Iranian armed forces”.

A second ship, named Euphoria, was then stopped after being “fired upon”, followed by the targeting of a third vessel, the MSC-Francesca, according to BBC Verify.

Washington demanding ‘entry fee’ from Ottawa before trade talks: sources

Washington demanding ‘entry fee’ from Ottawa before trade talks: sources

The Trump administration is demanding what amounts to an “entry fee” from Canada to engage in trade talks toward a revised Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA), four sources told Radio-Canada.

“The Americans are setting conditions before negotiations begin,” said one high-ranking individual familiar with the matter.

Three sources used the term “entry fee” to describe concessions the U.S. administration is seeking before formal trade talks begin.

Doug Ford seems politically invincible. So did a former PC premier. Then he bought a jet

Doug Ford seems politically invincible. So did a former PC premier. Then he bought a jet

The signs of growing arrogance in Premier Doug Ford have been unmistakable in recent weeks.

His move to make himself and cabinet off limits to freedom-of-information scrutiny. His contempt for the City of Toronto and the takeover of the island airport. His boast that he’ll win the next election irrespective of who runs again him.

Perhaps, given his record of electoral success, a little smugness is forgivable.

Reform candidate calls for mass deportation of Muslims

Reform candidate calls for mass deportation of Muslims

Nigel Farage has been urged to drop a Reform UK candidate who called for “every Muslim” to be deported from Britain because the public cannot tell them apart from terrorists.

Kate Michaela, who is standing in Adur district council, in West Sussex, on May 7, shared several offensive posts, including one that said “every Muslim must leave the UK by 2030”.

The Reform candidate also shared a post by Tommy Robinson, the far-Right activist, describing Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary, as a “dumb b—-” who was allowing Islam to “take over Britain”.

Farage will likely toss her under the bus, that’s just who he is.

CHARLEBOIS: Why the most important food prices are rising again

CHARLEBOIS: Why the most important food prices are rising again

Food inflation in Canada may have eased to 4.0% in March, but don’t be misled by the headline. The number that matters most — food purchased from stores— actually rose to 4.4%, up 0.3 percentage points. That increase tells us something important: cost pressures are not fading. In fact, they are shifting — and intensifying in key categories.

Look at what’s driving the change. Meat and vegetables are both rising, and for very different reasons. But together, they paint a clear picture of a food system still under strain.

What options do Trump — and Iran — have if peace talks collapse?

What options do Trump — and Iran — have if peace talks collapse?

The build-up to peace talks between Iran and the US in Pakistan has already seen false starts. President Trump prematurely announced a deal would be signed, while Iran denied it would even send anyone to Islamabad.

The White House set high expectations, saying on Monday that a “good deal” was to be reached, while Iran poured cold water on American optimism and insisted it would not negotiate at all while under naval blockade.

But with the ceasefire set to expire on Tuesday night, both sides will most probably travel to Pakistan to agree, at a minimum, an extension of the truce, even though Trump has ruled it out without a framework agreement before a deal.

Canada’s Deal on Chinese EVs an ‘Irritant’ for US Ahead of Key Trade Negotiations: Auto Industry

Canada’s Deal on Chinese EVs an ‘Irritant’ for US Ahead of Key Trade Negotiations: Auto Industry

Canada’s decision to allow Chinese electric vehicles into the country could negatively affect crucial upcoming trade negotiations with the United States, automobile industry representatives told MPs.

The leaders of two industry groups representing Canadian operations of American and global carmakers testified in the House of Commons science and research committee on April 20. The committee is studying the implications of Ottawa’s deal allowing up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles to enter Canada at a preferential tariff rate.
