Nearly two years after the 21st century’s perhaps biggest sabotage operation shocked the world while fueling the U.S.-Russian conflict, investigative reporter Bojan Pancevski published the first truly detailed account of what happened in the months preceding the Nord Stream gas pipeline attack in September 2022.
Stephen Harper suggested in his 2018 book, Right Here, Right Now, that historic support for immigration in Canada was because policy united the aspirations of new arrivals with those of citizens.
“Make immigration legal, secure and, in the main, economically driven and it will have a high level of public confidence,” he wrote.
Canadians have rejected the premise that the country accepts too many immigrants for more than two decades, but public confidence in the system has been rocked by disastrous public policy emerging from Ottawa over the past couple of years.
The Birju Dattani fiasco exposed how easy it can be for the wrong people to slide past detection into obscenely well-paying government jobs, that arm them with tremendous power over Canadians.
This happens too often in the Liberal government to be an “honest mistake” or a failure of process.
The Minnesota governor’s ‘aw shucks’ demeanor can’t hide the fact that he abandoned his city to fire and riots and walked out on his battalion when leadership was most needed.
Whether it’s his military service or his tenure as a “head coach,” there are a lot of questions when it comes to Tim Walz’s record. I suspect more about the governor will be revealed in the coming days.
However, there is one thing Americans should know for certain: Walz is a radical leftist posing as a Midwestern moderate. Don’t be fooled. Whether it’s his soft-on-crime policies or his reckless Covid measures, it’s not hard to see why Bernie Sanders endorsed him for vice president.
When an Oregon county near Portland held self-proclaimed “journalist” Alissa Azar accountable for planning a riot in 2021, violent members of Antifa descended on a small main street. Police arrested one member for allegedly assaulting a man.
“She just wasn’t even just your average Antifa member. She was somebody who definitely was an orchestrator, or I would call a ringleader,” Clackamas County Commissioner Ben West said to The Federalist. “They operate with creating fear, and at a certain point, you just have to stand up and be like, ‘No.’”
Biden and Harris are merely spokespeople, not the product itself.
Over more than three years, Democrats couldn’t sell Joe Biden; now, they must sell Kamala Harris in just under three months. This tall order requires two things: convincing voters that this administration deserves four more years and that Harris is truly different from Biden. Democrats’ continued marketing strategy of hiding their candidate tells Americans that neither is true.
On paper, selling Joe Biden should have been easy. Joe had a long Senate resume. He also had two terms as vice president behind Democrats’ most popular living president. Facing him was a divisive incumbent hobbled by a pandemic, an economy slowed by lockdowns, and civil unrest.
Last year the mainstream public prints were full of Net Zero-inspired nonsense claiming that the Gulf Stream could collapse by 2025. Classic green fear-mongering of course inspired by the 2004 Hollywood blockbuster The Day After Tomorrow with its harrowing portrayal of weather-related natural disasters. The overturning of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could plunge the North Atlantic into a new ice age and have dire weather impacts across the globe, according to a new study. The author, Peter Ditlevsen of the University of Copenhagen, told the constantly-alarmed Guardian: “I think we should be very worried.” But this was a scare story too far and even some scientists expressed doubt about it last year. Now, a new study has been published that points out this alarm about the collapsing Gulf Stream was contingent on unreliable climate models and any collapse could occur from now to infinity.
Kamela Harris is the star in the 2024 sequel of this 1979 classic movie.
I’ve found it fascinating that in both national polling as well as social media posts from actual friends of mine who are staunchly liberal, Kackles Harris (and Tampon Tim) enjoy a popularity that is incredibly puzzling to rational, thinking adults (aka conservatives), even though this pair have yet to say or post anything firm and substantial in policy but only to copycat Trump on the idea of eliminating taxes on tips.
Our society has been sapped of meaning
I set off last Wednesday on a three-week road trip around the United States. I had high expectations drizzled in nostalgia, since I was repeating a project I’d done exactly nine years before: the idea, then and now, was to talk to people about the American Dream. I was hoping to get a sense of the mood of America ahead of the November election.
In that spirit, my first stop was Scranton, a city in northeast Pennsylvania. The downtown nearing dinner time was empty except for professionals dashing from cubicles to cars, and the destitute hiding in nooks from the lingering heat, emerging only to ask for money, either via long lies or by pleas to my empathy.
My motel, a run-down, squalid place that at $45 a night was still extortionate, was at least social, with the buzz of a long-term residency, which was what it was for everyone there but me. My fellow guests were outside smoking and drinking in the only fresh air and view they had.
Silencing critics of Islamism will embolden the extremists who make Muslims’ lives hell.
The riots that followed last month’s Southport stabbings have justifiably shocked the UK. But as with all crises, where some wish for the return of peace and order, others see the opportunity to push an ideological agenda. One such group of opportunists are those who want to legislate against the manufactured crime of ‘Islamophobia’.
As if two-tier justice were not bad enough, Britain is third tier in the global index of free expression.
The fundamental principle of democracy is that change is effected peacefully by a vote at the ballot box, thereby removing the need for violent kicks to a sensitive area. Ineffectual or negligent governments can be removed and replaced by those more willing to enact the will of the populace. Unfortunately for Brits, the ballot box is now a one-way street: guaranteeing ‘Labour lite’ or ‘Labour full strength,’ whichever way you vote in this two-party, one-party state. That only leaves recourse to freedom of speech, should one wish to object.

The Trudeau Liberals are channeling Captain Louis Renault as they react in shock to problems with Canada’s temporary foreign worker program. Movie fans will know Captain Renault as the corrupt police chief in Casablanca.
After Captain Renault barges into Rick’s Cafe — more of a nightclub and casino — Rick Blaine, played by Humphrey Bogart, walks up and asks on what grounds his establishment is being shut down.
“I’m shocked, shocked to find out that gambling is going on in here,” Captain Renault says.
A very good thread explaining the Liberal and NDP treachery.
Short thread time: How on earth did the number of low-wage temporary foreign workers nearly triple in 2022?
TL;DR – The federal government made some massive changes a mere 13 days after the Liberals and NDP signed the Supply and Confidence Agreement. pic.twitter.com/PrQ6XeJ1xT

Like counterparts around the world, Canada’s youth are struggling, victims of a weak economy and a rising cost of living crisis. Whereas boomers rode an unprecedented wave of prosperity and higher living standards, younger Canadians, particularly those under 30, are now more pessimistic about the future than older generations.
These realities suggest severe consequences for the rest of us, and for our future. Younger voters were once seen as the driver of a progressive takeover of all institutions. But today younger voters are, if anything, headed in different directions, with some, notably single women, headed to the left while men, in almost all countries, moving decisively to the right.

Toronto police say they have made 32 arrests and laid 158 criminal charges following a nearly year-long investigation into a Toronto street gang that was allegedly using Canada Post to distribute drugs to other provinces.
Police made the announcement at a news conference on Thursday where they provided details on ‘Project Foxxx.’
The 11-month investigation targeted the alleged activities of the ‘Jamestown Crips’ street gang. While that gang has historical roots in the Etobicoke area, police say that their alleged crimes span well beyond those borders.
