One-quarter of Canadians believe antisemitism is a serious problem: poll

One-quarter of Canadians believe that anti-Indigenous racism and antisemitism are very serious problems in Canada, according to a new national poll.

The poll, which was conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies, was released just weeks after Statistics Canada hate-crime data revealed that antisemitism accounted for about 70 per cent of religiously motivated hate crimes in 2023, despite Jewish people accounting for only about two per cent of the nation’s population. Anti-Indigenous sentiment was present in about three per cent of race-based hate crimes, while Indigenous people account for about five per cent of Canada’s population.

Report: thousands of US girls underwent trans ‘top surgeries’

A report from the Manhattan Institute this week revealed that “gender-affirming” mastectomies for patients under 18 are more common than previously believed.

While cross-sex genital surgeries are rare in the US for both adults and minors, mastectomies — also known as “top surgery” in the context of transgender medicine — are widely available to minors and are the most common transgender surgery for this population. Around 5,000 to 6,000 girls underwent “gender affirming” double mastectomies in the US from 2017 to 2023, according to the Manhattan Institute, and at least 50 of those patients were younger than 12-and-a-half years old.

A former Progressive Conservative who calls Pierre Poilievre ‘terrifying’ is launching a new political party

OTTAWA — A new political party will appear on the ballot in two upcoming by-elections as the Canadian Future Party seeks to introduce itself officially as a centrist option for voters it argues are growing weary of an increasingly polarized environment.

The party, approved by Elections Canada last month, will field candidates in the LaSalle—Émard—Verdun and Elmwood-Transcona races in September, which are being watched closely for what they might herald for the governing Liberals, Official Opposition Conservatives, and New Democrats.

Dominic Cardy? Never heard of him. So this was just a cheap publicity stunt to get his name in the news.

‘We can’t control him’: Family of ‘Britain’s worst rioter’ – aged just TWELVE – fear he will never get back on straight and narrow

You’d be angry too if you were made of pixels

A desperate grandmother said today that she had reached the end of her tether with a boy branded by a judge as ‘Britain’s worst rioter’ – adding that she does not know how he can be helped back onto the straight and narrow.

The 12-year-old boy – whose father is in prison – was in court yesterday where he admitted joining two mob rampages through Manchester in three days.

His mother looked on tearfully as a judge said he was ‘more involved in the violence and disorder than any other defendant’.

Canadian military drones don’t like the cold & may spontaneously go AWOL to Florida RCAF report warns

Canadian military drones will face challenges operating in Arctic, RCAF report warns

Canada plans to build a facility for its new drones in the Arctic, but will face more than its share of challenges in operating the aircraft in the far north, air force documents show.

The Liberal government announced on Dec. 19 that Canada would buy 11 of the remotely piloted aircraft from a U.S. company for $2.5 billion.

The new drones will be stationed at 14 Wing Greenwood, N.S., and 19 Wing Comox, B.C.

Did no one think to ask when they were kicking the tires?

Germany has issued arrest warrant for Ukrainian diver over Nord Stream explosions, says report

Germany has issued a European arrest warrant against a Ukrainian diving instructor who allegedly was part of a team that blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines, according to a report by three German media outlets published on Wednesday.

German investigators believe that the man, last known to have lived in Poland, was one of the divers who planted explosive devices on pipelines running from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea in September 2022, the SZ and Die Zeit newspapers reported alongside the ARD broadcaster, citing unnamed sources.

The German prosecutor general’s office declined to comment on the report, which said that Germany had asked Poland in June to arrest the man.

Hardly Hot Take – Zelensky and Biden were behind this. It was done to hurt Russia but also wavering NATO members (Hello Germany!) who loved Russia’s cheap gas.

Hunter and Joe’s Ukraine scam may also have played a role in seeing the sabotage plan move forward.

Brampton man wants KFC to reconsider going halal in Ontario, eventually Canada

A Brampton resident has launched a Change.org petition urging KFC to reverse its decision to serve exclusively halal meat eventually in all of Canada.

Roop Sandhu says the policy — which the company announced in a memo to franchisees in May for Ontario (except Thunder Bay and Ottawa) with a plan to roll it out nationwide by year’s end — dismisses the dietary preferences of religious communities which prohibit the consumption of halal meat.

SLOBODIAN: Turn off the money taps to these anti-hate, hate-mongers

Trudeau Liberals continue to fund groups that demonize white people, pro-life and pro-parent groups

Enough with the charlatan Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) leeching off $640,000 in taxpayer dollars — a hefty portion of that paid by the white men and Christians it vengefully targets.

Enough of cowardly politicians — from all federal parties — without the backbone to shut down these federally-subsidized radical activists that published a blacklist dripping with hate and promoting unrest under the pretenCe of identifying so-called “haters” without offering evidence to back the claims.

Trump Should Play Hardball in the Debate Standoff with Harris

While the media are reporting that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate on September 10, the truth is that they continue to talk past each other when scheduling their faceoffs. Trump’s slide in the polls is putting some pressure on him to agree to Harris’s and the media’s terms quickly. Trump should resist that pressure because time is on his side.

Notes from Elon Musk’s conversation with Donald Trump

Elon Musk and Donald Trump had scheduled their conversation to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time as an X livestream. However, at 8 p.m., millions of the people who went to X found themselves staring at a blank purple square, thanks to a massive DDoS attack.* However, once the interview started, Trump finally had the space to expand on what matters to Americans, with Musk there to corral him gently when he went too far afield.

Harris Campaign Tries to Straddle the Fence on Israel-Hamas War

But it’s obvious which way Kamala leans.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party’s nominee for president, is trying to walk a political tightrope on the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. On the one hand, to court as many moderate Jewish voters as possible, she repeats her canned statement of support for Israel’s right to defend itself, even going so far just recently to brand Hamas as “terrorists.” But at the same time, she is also currently entertaining the idea of an arms embargo against the Jewish state, according to pro-Palestinian advocates who spoke with her just before her campaign rally last week in Detroit, Michigan.

To Bolster An Aging U.S. Naval Fleet, It’s Time To Bring Back Privateers

The U.S. Navy isn’t just for fighting overseas or protecting the homeland. It’s also a basic tool of force projection, diplomacy, and protecting and regulating international trade. But today’s Navy is too small to meet the demands placed on it. As a result, traditional Navy tasks, such as enforcing sanctions, are far down the priority list. But this capability gap could be filled if we had the boldness to bring back privateers.

During the long response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the delusion of the peaceful rise of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the U.S. Navy was allowed to atrophy. One tangible consequence: Today, America reportedly has no aircraft carriers dedicated to deterring an increasingly bellicose China — they’re all either in the Middle East, headed to the Middle East, or in various stages of training or repair.

Meet Britain’s asylum hotel tycoon

Alex Langsam’s holiday empire is shrouded in secrecy

Scarborough’s Grand Hotel isn’t so grand these days. Built in the shape of a V to honour Queen Victoria, this sandy-brick behemoth was billed as “the largest and handsomest hotel in Europe” when its doors opened in 1867. Edward VIII stayed here before ascending the throne. Sir Winston Churchill, the poet Edith Sitwell and Labour’s first prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, were among the A-listers of yesteryear to visit this 12-floor wonder overlooking the North Sea.

When I arrive for my night at the Grand, my first impression is of the screeching seagulls and weeds that have been allowed to colonise the elegant roof with its four domed towers. Broken eggshells and droppings now pepper the walkways surrounding this once opulent building. A sign on a railing commands passers-by to “stop attacks” by not feeding the birds. Nearby, a dozen refuse bins and a cluster of tradesmen’s vans obscure the still striking entrance.
