Why the keffiyeh classes have forgiven Kanye West

Why the keffiyeh classes have forgiven Kanye West

And there you have it. Britain is a country where a musician who says ‘Heil Hitler’ gets to headline festivals while a musician who plays with a Jew from Israel gets cancelled. Threaten to go ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’ and you’ll be grand. Jam with a Jewish person and you’re toast. Selling T-shirts adorned with the swastika? No problem. Doing a duet with someone from the Jewish state? Don’t even think about it.

The energy crisis is getting worse. How protected is Canada?

The energy crisis is getting worse. How protected is Canada?

As gasoline prices keep ticking higher toward $2 a litre and diesel sits near $2.50, there is little relief for Canadian drivers as the global energy crisis grows with no end in sight to the Iran war.

The conflict continues to choke transit through the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off roughly 20 per cent of the world’s oil and natural gas supply from international buyers.

Countries around the world are feeling the strain. Governments have ordered staff to work from home, reduced the work week and closed universities to conserve fuel.

What Exactly Is the Purpose of NATO in the Year 2026?

What Exactly Is the Purpose of NATO in the Year 2026?

There is no clear answer.

One month into Operation Epic Fury against the Islamic Republic of Iran, a long-overdue conversation has finally broken into the open: What, exactly, is the enduring rationale for NATO? For decades, this question has been treated in Washington foreign policy circles as heretical. But it isn’t. And to their credit, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are now saying so plainly.

Court rules B.C. First Nation has land title, recognizing its full claim

Court rules B.C. First Nation has land title, recognizing its full claim

The B.C. Court of Appeal has confirmed the Nuchatlaht, a First Nation with 180 members, has Aboriginal title over more than 200 square kilometres of land off Vancouver Island’s west coast.

The Nuchatlaht won Canada’s second-ever finding of Aboriginal title in 2024, but only over a small fraction of their claim area.

On Thursday, the court recognized the First Nation’s full claim, saying the B.C. Supreme Court erred by disregarding material evidence, setting an arbitrary boundary, and incorrectly limiting evidence of occupation to village and reserve sites.

Cyber-enabled terrorism has become a critical national security issue for countries in the Indo-Pacific region, especially in India’s Jammu and Kashmir, the wider Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, where end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms and online recruitment have connected a substantial percentage of Muslim youths to Islamist terror networks.

Man accused in Hamilton killing was under deportation order — but never removed

Man accused in Hamilton killing was under deportation order — but never removed

Three years before Daniel Musafiri was killed outside a Hamilton billiards bar, the man police allege pulled the trigger was ordered deported because of convictions for serious crimes.

But Erik Kalanyos, now 29, never left Canada.

The deportation order alone was not enough to remove him. Under Canadian immigration law he is a protected person because he came here with his family 25 years ago from Hungary as a refugee.

France’s Muslim gathering ban overturned by courts

France’s Muslim gathering ban overturned by courts

A major gathering of Muslims in northern Paris is going ahead as planned after a French court overturned a government bid to ban it.

The Paris police department argued that the four-day Annual Encounter of Muslims of France was a security threat because it could be a target of terrorism.

But the organisers – the Muslims of France (MF) association – sought an emergency injunction to let the event go ahead, arguing that a ban would be a breach of basic liberties.

Canada Revenue Agency told to learn about Islam after audit of Muslim Brotherhood affiliated charity

A report by an expert in extremist financing and money laundering says the Canada Revenue Agency’s approach to policing terrorist abuse “proved seriously deficient” in the case of a long-running audit of the Muslim Association of Canada.

The report by University of Manitoba professor Michelle Gallant is the latest study to recommend the revenue agency make changes to ensure its audits of charitable organizations are free of bias and discrimination.

60 Minutes Faces a ‘Bloodbath,’ but That’s not the Worst of It

CBS News is the Titanic of broadcast news organizations. It’s a century old, spans the globe, airs something like a dozen programs, and employs more than 10,000 — the most powerful all cut from the same ideological mold.

Steering that hulk away from the iceberg is no easy feat, but it’s the assignment given to new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss by parent-company Paramount CEO David Ellison.

Doug Fraud praises Mark Carney and appeals for a majority Liberal government ahead of byelections

AUSTIN, Texas—Premier Doug Ford is appealing for political “certainty” in Canada ahead of contentious trade negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ford, in Texas on a trade mission to promote Ontario, stressed “it was the right move” when he called an early Ontario election last year to give his government a stronger hand against Trump.

“Again, it goes back to certainty,” the premier told the Star in a wide-ranging interview Thursday.

What a fraud. There’s a reason the provincial Liberals have been given new life.
