New data from the Federal Statistical Office has revealed that 15.5 million people in Germany do not speak German as their primary language at home. These figures, published for the International Day of the Mother Tongue, disclose the growing extent of linguistic parallel worlds.

Canada’s defence industry got a $6.6 billion boost Tuesday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney formally unveiled Ottawa’s new Defence Industrial Strategy. The plan promises to create 125,000 new jobs over 10 years and award 70 per cent of defence contracts to Canadian companies, through a “Build-Partner-Buy” framework that prioritizes domestic industry. It is part of the government’s plan to increase Canadian military spending to five per cent of GDP by 2035, in line with NATO targets.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing mounting calls to speak out against the United States for widening its restrictions on fuel reaching Cuba, or to send aid to the country.
For more than a year, Global Affairs Canada has warned travellers of “shortages of basic necessities, including food, medicine and fuel” across most of Cuba. In January, the island lost its main source of fuel when the U.S. took control of Venezuela’s oil reserves.
Who’s making these calls? Justin and his brother?
A man who left his family to live as a woman and threatened to “Go BERSERK” in defense of transgender ideology shot and killed his son and the boy’s mother at a Rhode Island hockey game on Monday, but the corporate media really don’t want you to know he was a fanatical adherent of one of their pet ideologies.
One of the most unheralded stories of last year was the increase in Canadian exports to the United Kingdom, to the point Britain has become this country’s second-largest export market, overtaking China.
In the first 11 months of 2025, exports to the U.K. hit $42.5 billion, compared to $31 billion to China. That is a nearly 60 per cent increase, in large measure because of a surge in gold shipments (Canada is a producer; Britain a global hub) but there were solid rises in agrifood, clean tech and aircraft.
Europe is pretty much Canada economically, over taxed, over regulated, hollowed out by mass migration, preyed upon by green scamming elites, criminalized by their governments. I do not see the upside.
WHAT did I tell you? In December, Britain’s College of Policing revealed to the Telegraph that it would recommend to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood that ‘non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHIs) should no longer be recorded (12 years after the same organisation had recommended they should be recorded).
In response I warned that police would continue to record NCHIs while claiming they are just collecting intelligence.
Liberal senator Adler says talk radio rewards ‘white bigotry’ and ‘sewer money’
Liberal-appointed Sen. Charles Adler claims talk radio can be a cash cow for hosts willing to peddle what he calls “white bigotry,” saying his refusal to “tilt right” may have cost him professionally.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Adler made the remarks during an appearance on the podcast Real Talk With Ryan Jespersen, arguing broadcasters who automatically frame conservatives as moral and hardworking while portraying the left as immoral or lazy can reap financial rewards.

Across the West, working people are pushing back against the End Times environmentalism of the ruling class.
When the history of our times comes to be written, it’s possible the date of 17 November 2018 will feature prominently. For two extraordinary events rocked Europe that Saturday. Two of our most populous cities – London and Paris – were shaken by vast gatherings of citizens making noisy demands of their ruling classes. And the demands could not have been more different. One side wanted nothing less than to drag society back into the benighted hell of pre-modern, pre-industrial existence. The other demanded the right to drive and work and live well, free from the onerous eco-rules of the elites. This cross-Channel clash of moral visions may well have been the first battle in the war of the vibe shift.
The political climate in the United States is more tumultuous than it’s been since the 1960s—if not the 1860s. Many Americans are dissatisfied with the Trump administration, which, in turn, has responded with escalating violence, locking both sides into a vicious cycle of hostility. Most recently, of course, Trump sent 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol agents to Minneapolis. As thousands of protesters gathered on the streets, federal agents used increasingly aggressive tactics that culminated in the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. Soon after Pretti was killed, Governor Tim Walz deployed the Minnesota National Guard to Minneapolis. They were stationed around the city, armed and outfitted in full camo gear. The streets were eerily empty, and many shops shuttered for weeks. Tens of thousands of immigrant families locked themselves in their homes, too afraid to venture out in case ICE abducted them. Instead of the regular flow of shoppers and diners on the sidewalks, legal observers—volunteers who trail ICE agents—patrolled streets by foot and by bike, often masked. The two groups often clashed directly, resulting in heated confrontations, with ICE and other federal forces beating and arresting observers. The Trump administration finally gave in and announced it was ending the crackdown, but it set a dangerous precedent.
A glove found two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home has failed to match DNA found inside her property, investigators announced.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Tuesday that the glove offered no new leads as it also failed to match the CODIS criminal database – a national archive of all DNA from arrestees nationwide.
The glove was found on Sunday and had been briefly regarded as the best piece of evidence in the ongoing search for the 84-year-old mother of Today Show star Savannah Guthrie.
For an organization with a budget of nearly $350-million and 2,500 employees, the IRB is something of a mystery.
Structurally, it is an outlier, at “arm’s length” from government. Most organizations of that size and scope do not have the authority to develop public policy without the involvement of ministers, deputy ministers and possibly cabinet. But the IRB possesses policy authorities into which the rest of government has limited lines of sight.
This may help explain how the IRB was able to adopt a policy that dispensed with core adjudicative safeguards, and accepted refugee claims solely on the basis of the written application, without in-person hearings. This has significant implications for the integrity of Canada’s refugee system.
This is the report the article mentions – Accepting Asylum Claims Without a Hearing: A Critique of IRB’s “File Review” Policy
Accepting Asylum Claims Without a Hearing – A Critique of IRB’s File Review Policy
I would put reform of the IRB on every pols must do list as it has done huge harm to Canada as constituted.
Time to cure that communist chancre sore that’s been suppurating off America’s coast for over 60 years since that sissy JFK failed to send in the Air Force, the Navy, and the 82nd Airborne to back up the Cuban freedom fighters at the Bay of Pigs. Fidel Castro should have been swinging from a telephone pole in 1961; maybe, then Kennedy would not have been murked by some Marxist malcontent from the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his government’s defence industrial strategy on Tuesday, promising to build up Canada’s defence industries and seek out partnerships beyond the United States.
“Let me start by acknowledging that there are many strengths to this partnership that we have with the United States,” said Carney during a press conference in Montreal. “But it is a dependency, and it’s a dependency we want to change in a positive way by building up our defence capacities here and our other partnerships abroad.”
