The decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on unsubstantiated war crimes charges, shows that the body is unfit for purpose, and should be defunded, dismantled, or both.
First, by law, the ICC is precluded from prosecuting any country that already has a valid judiciary system. This stipulation is the based on the treaty upon which the ICC was founded.
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are fiddling while Canada burns. And Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats are performing as their backup musicians.
The Liberals are obsessed with getting their gimmicky GST holiday passed. At the same time, on Nov. 29, Statistics Canada announced that for the sixth consecutive quarter (and the eighth quarter in the last nine), Canada’s per-capita Gross Domestic Product declined.
The GDP decline is the far bigger problem. It’s the national fire. A country that is in economic decline cannot afford all its fancy social programs such as health care and pensions.
The PBS NewsHour displayed its usual disaste for the Trump victory on Tuesday night by investigating whether today’s political climate is leading to a “spike in racist incidents”? Naturally, PBS turned to the radical-left Southern Poverty Law Center for predictable answers.
PBS reporter Stephanie Sy recounted incidents where tiny groups of neo-Nazis marched to cause outrage, like outside a playhouse with The Diary Of Anne Frank. Then she added “since the election, Black, Latino and LGBTQ Americans in at least 25 states, including kids and teens, have been subjected to racist text messages.”
For years, Sally Lane and John Letts have feared their son Jack is dead—and no one has told them.
Their fears lingered in my mind as I travelled for days across a perilous region of northeast Syria, hounding Kurdish officials to honour their promise to let me interview him. By the fifth day, it became clear: they had no idea where their longest-serving foreign inmate was.
The wannabe suicide bomber is “Canadian” only because his dad is from here.
Britain revoked his citizenship. We should too.
The war in Ukraine is providing North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, with what he apparently reckons is a rationale for attacking South Korea. The link between Russia’s campaign against Ukraine and North Korea’s threats against South Korea emerged during a visit to Pyongyang by the Russian defense minister.
Mr. Kim told the visiting minister, Andrei Beloussov, that use of long-range weapons by members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization gave Russia “the right to self-defense” against those providing the weapons. The NATO allies, led by President Biden, are to blame for Ukraine firing “long-range strike weapons,” Pyongyang’s Korean Central News Agency quoted Mr. Kim as saying.
Toronto’s explosion of antisemitism prompted an appeal for help from the head of Toronto’s transit system.
In a letter from interim TTC CEO Greg Percy to Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw, Percy said staff are dealing with a worrying rise in hateful graffiti across the transit system targeting Jewish Torontonians.
“We have noticed an exceptionally high concentration of these incidents on our subway trains at terminal stations and along surface routes like College, University and Spadina,” Percy wrote in his letter.
There’s a rumour afoot that this may be due in large part to Trudeau’s Great Replacement immigration policy. OK, mum’s the word!
Iran may not be finished paying for its massive miscalculation against Israel. Of the two proxy armies that have been decimated if not destroyed in the war launched by Hamas and Hezbollah in October 2023, the latter is by far the most significant to Iran’s geopolitical ambitions. Hezbollah didn’t just turn Lebanon into a puppet state for Tehran, but it also propped up Bashar al-Assad against Sunni Islamist rebels over the last thirteen years.
A lot of Assad supporters in the GTA – from the BCF wayback machine 13 years ago …
Did Bonnie Crombie get ‘sold a bill of goods’? Here’s why the Liberal leader is struggling to find her footing and take down Doug Ford
… “This party is like a start-up. There is no infrastructure. There is no money,” says another Liberal veteran, maintaining the “draft Crombie” movement that lured her from a comfortable perch running Ontario’s third-largest city underplayed the challenge.
Instead, Crombie is running Ontario’s third party.
“I think Bonnie got sold a bill of goods. It’s not an easy job. If they’re in third place one more time, I don’t know what the future is,” adds the veteran Liberal.
After Joe Biden crashed and burned during his debate with Donald Trump back in June, the left, which had long claimed he was sharp as a tack, suddenly turned on him and called for him to drop out. Biden remained defiant for weeks, but soon the big donors stopped writing checks and the party leadership did everything they could to push him out. Even Hollywood got involved. Actor George Clooney wrote an op-ed in the New York Times calling for Joe Biden to step down.
In February 2021, a sinister plot to assassinate two Iranian dissidents living in the U.S. state of Maryland was underway.
The alleged hired guns were two Canadian criminals — Damian Ryan, a full patch member of the Hells Angels, and Adam Pearson. They had been recruited by Naji Sharifi Zindashti, a drug trafficker close to the Iranian regime, according to a U.S. indictment.
They communicated with each other on highly secure phones using Sky ECC, an encrypted messaging platform developed by Sky Global in Vancouver.
A leading demographer has warned that the white British population may become a minority by the middle of the century if current trends continue as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer declared this week that the “open borders experiment” was a failure imposed on the country by “design”.
If you’re out walking after a bad storm, you’re liable to come across a few trees with limbs that are just hanging on.
One scintilla of added pressure, one strong gust, and the branch breaks.
This is the fragile reality of Canada’s immigration system today. The storm was entirely of the federal Liberals’ making. The next one will be entirely out of their control.
The number of single women going through IVF or artificial insemination in the UK has more than tripled in a decade, according to new figures.
Between 2012 and 2022, the number of women having fertility treatment on their own jumped from 1,400 to 4,800, a report from the fertility regulator shows.
Experts and women who have planned single parenthood say more women putting off children until they are older and not finding stable partner are among the factors fuelling the increase.
Donald Trump said he had a “productive” meeting with Justin Trudeau after the Canadian prime minister paid a surprise trip to his Mar-a-Lago estate amid fears about Trump’s promised tariffs.
Trudeau became the first G7 leader to meet with Trump before his second term amid widespread fears in Canada and many other parts of the world that Trump’s trade policy will cause widespread economic chaos.
But Trump also seemed to double down on the threat, which he has frequently linked to trying to encourage other countries to combat drug smuggling into the US.
Mississauga has become unrecognizable. The demographics have shifted so significantly. I went out for a walk at the Erin Mills Town Center tonight. I felt so overwhelmed by Hijabis. Think about it. I'm Not White. I'm a woman of color! Yet I felt so nervous, uneasy and overwhelmed…

Our Elites knew damn well what they were doing when they unleashed a death cult on Canadians.
