“If Jewish students ever needed a secure path to Jewish education, we need it now more than ever.” That’s the basic argument that the group Grassroots for Affordable Jewish Education has advanced in court in hopes of changing Ontario’s unique school-funding situation: public boards, English and French, get funding, as do Catholic boards, English and French — but no others.
A couple of years ago, in my book, A Heretic’s Manifesto, I envisioned a situation where Iran’s female warriors against theocracy might one day come to the West only to find themselves branded ‘Islamophobic’. In my dystopic foretelling, these valiant hijab-burners would be accused by the pious pricks of the woke of such blasphemous sins as ‘hijabophobia’ – a real word, meaning ‘hostility to the hijab’. They might look to the West for refuge and wind up not being celebrated but being shouted down, charged with the thoughtcrime of Islamophobia.
At the height of U.S.-Canada tariff tensions in early 2025, Ontario Premier Doug Ford famously threatened to cut off Canadian electricity exports to the United States.
“If the United States escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely,” Ford told a press conference. He added that he felt “terrible for the American people” in such a scenario, but that his hand would be forced.
Heavily-armed robbers posing as police blocked an Italian highway and blew up an armoured van during a brazen raid in southern Italy, before exchanging gunfire with police.
The attack unfolded on State Road 613 in the Puglia region, where masked gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles shut down the road in front of shocked motorists.
The gang blocked the road by setting a truck on fire, while using vehicles with flashing lights to impersonate police and move in on the armoured van.
Shocking robbery this morning in Tuturano, Brindisi, heel of Italy.
A cash van was stopped on the road by burning lorry and fake police cars.
Robbers with heavy weapons used explosives to get in the van…

The results of Germany’s energy and immigration failures have been rising costs, falling competitiveness, social disorder, and political backlash.
Germany was postwar Europe’s greatest economic success story. Today it is a cautionary tale. Once the continent’s industrial engine, Germany has spent the past decade dismantling the foundations of its prosperity through energy and immigration policies driven more by ideology than evidence or good sense. The results have been rising costs, falling competitiveness, social disorder, and political backlash.
Canada should study this record closely—because we are pursuing many of the same policies.
Two journalists have just embarked on the exercise of writing a ‘biography,’ or rather a damning pamphlet, against the writer Renaud Camus, on whom they intend to heap all the ignominy of having invented and popularised the phrase ‘the great replacement.’”
But what crime is this when the expression is now swallowed and spat out by everyone, including and especially on the Left, by certain MPs and politicians who today make it a point of pride and a programme?
To feed its fundamental need to feel useful, the Left needs scapegoats. As Le Figaro editorialist Eugénie Bastié points out, Jean-Marie Le Pen is dead, so a ‘replacement’ must be found. Renaud Camus is the ideal candidate for the role.
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, poised to become the newest border crossing between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit.
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump wrote in the post on Monday.

The Western ruling class is unraveling: elites panic, institutions crumble, and the gap between rulers and the ruled has never been clearer.
If you take a close look at some of the major news stories that have captured our collective attention over the last few weeks, you may notice a peculiar pattern.
We’ll start in Minneapolis, with the story that has dominated the headlines for weeks. Although Tom Homan, President Trump’s “border czar,” has deftly negotiated a de-escalation of tensions in the nation’s most aggressive, bizarre, and aggressively bizarre sanctuary city, protests there continue. More to the point, state and local politicians continue to behave as if federal laws are irrelevant and as if they have no responsibility whatsoever to abide by rules that they have decided are unpleasant.
Diplomats call it “thought leadership”: the triumphant achievement of being the first to propose a plan of action for an urgent international problem.
And no problem could be more urgent than how we survive in the pitiless world of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, with raw power politics trampling upon rules and laws.
The unlikely “thought leader” on this question turns out to be Mark Carney, the new prime minister of Canada. “The old order is not coming back,” he said, in a highly acclaimed speech at Davos. “We should not mourn it.”
Democrat PACs are now putting out complete BS propaganda commercials portraying Republicans and ICE agents as kidnappers who are deporting American citizens.

There’s a clip going around where some obnoxious woman decides that a guy walking out of a Quik-i-Mart is a nice guy and she takes it upon herself, being the heroine and the main character of the epic saga that is her life, to knock his cup of coffee from his hands. He’s a fairly big guy, fit, and he doesn’t lay her out across the parking lot with a right cross. It’s not that she doesn’t deserve it – she does. It’s that he is still defaulting to the male role in a chivalry system that no longer exists. This dumb woman is relying on the very guardrails she has bulldozed; she’s going to try it again, and this time she’s going to lose a bunch of teeth.

Almost every foreign diplomat you run across lately simply gushes about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos speech, and how his remarks about middle powers banding together went viral in Europe.
As much as the speech represented a wake-up call for Canada and its allies, a new report that sets up the annual Munich Security Conference extends and sharpens Carney’s argument and delivers a series of stark warnings.
One of them is fairly straightforward — if not somewhat uncomfortable — for Canadians.
Where allies are concerned, it’s not enough to just show up. You’ve got to bring something useful.
Well I uninstalled the dishwasher (Yes I remembered to turn the water connection off).
I cleaned out the trap which was not at all the horror I thought it might be.
Intake and drain lines are both fine with no kinks or blockages.
A bit of water remained within the unit which conveniently spilled out when I flipped it on its side to undo the intake hose.
But it just won’t go, lights are on but nothing happens beyond a low noise like a semi-relieved constipated cat.
Thank you all for your help.
Back to shopping.
General Motors admits it has lost — so far — about $3.3 billion on EVs. It is apparently not enough to persuade GM that EVs are losers.
“We continue to believe in EVs,” GM’s CEO Mary Barra said the other day. Adding that “our portfolio brought almost 100,000 new customers to GM in 2025.” That these customers didn’t add a cent to GM’s bottom line doesn’t seem to matter to Barra. “We know these drivers do not often go back to gas, so we will continue executing our plan to reduce EV-related costs and we remain confident in our path to EV profitability.”
