Michael Bonner: Iran’s regime is a threat to Canada. Many of its officials are already here

We don’t yet know how the repressive and murderous Islamic Republic of Iran will fall, or when. After the recent uprising and the regime’s bloody response, the most likely outcome may well be some form of military junta arising from the conventional armed forces. A worse outcome would be a coup by the more ideological Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) or Basij voluntary militia.

When will celebrities stop moralising?

When hosting the Golden Globes in 2020, Ricky Gervais delivered a delicious demolition of Hollywood’s political pretensions, telling his A-list audience: ‘if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God, and fuck off’. Sadly, it seems the message didn’t sink in.

Awards season is upon us once again, meaning saturated coverage of Tinseltown. The self-congratulatory tone of it all is bad enough, but somehow these overpaid luvvies can’t resist using award ceremonies as a chance to lecture us mere mortals.

Lantsman ties grocery inflation to rising independence-seeking sentiment

Deputy Conservative Leader Melissa Lantsman warned Monday that rising grocery prices and federal fiscal policy are contributing to growing independence-seeking frustration in parts of the country, linking affordability pressures to renewed national unity concerns.

Speaking at a press conference in Ottawa, Lantsman criticized the Liberal government’s proposed grocery rebate, arguing it offers minimal relief while food prices continue to climb.

How Hate-Speech Laws Destroy the West

Imagine this: You have a group of friends over for dinner. You are sitting around the table having a nice conversation about current events. You mention that you don’t like it when immigrants take advantage of social welfare instead of getting a job; you explain that your taxes would be lower if immigrants weren’t so lazy.

Now imagine this: Your teenage daughter has found herself a boyfriend, and you sit her down to have a conversation about the potential consequences of being intimate with him. Your daughter dismisses your concerns by saying that she can always get an abortion, whereupon you reply that abortions are immoral.

Would you be surprised if, in either of these cases, the police came to your house and arrested you for illegal speech?

Beef Bans, Halal Menus, and the Erosion of Choice

Pork Matters

Last week, Polytechnique Montréal, the engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal, became the first university in Canada to outright ban the sale of beef on campus. The justification was environmental: reducing the institution’s carbon footprint. Similar measures have already appeared at several universities in the United States and Europe, where beef has either been sharply reduced or eliminated altogether, again under the banner of climate responsibility.

Should Race Realism Be Suppressed? The New York Times Thinks So

The New York Times and apparently all of polite society was in a tizzy late last month after learning that “fringe” researchers had “gained access” to National Institutes of Health data from thousands of children and, according to reporter Mike McIntire, “used it to produce at least 16 papers purporting to find biological evidence for differences in intelligence between races, ranking ethnicities by I.Q. scores and suggesting Black people earn less because they are not very smart.”

Canada Looks an Awful Lot Like Venezuela. And Trump Has Noticed

Recently, the United States of America (USA) successfully completed Operation: Absolute Resolve and, thereby, liberated the Venezuelan people from Nicolás Maduro’s brutal socialist regime.

More importantly, Maduro’s rapid dispatch and America’s open pursuit of democracy’s resurgence have now forced a bevy of corrupt leaders and nations to scurry out and confront their sins in the light of the new American epoch.

Unfortunately, it is clear that even the U.S’s historic ally, Canada, has been badly disfigured by its past decade of Liberal government and transformed into a fortress of hyper left-wing politics that now echoes many aspects of Maduro’s Venezuela.


Our media is actually worse than Venezuela’s

Cuba on the brink as Trump turns up the pressure: ‘There is going to be a real blockade’

It’s just gone midday on Linea, one of the main roads through Havana’s Vedado neighbourhood, and Javier Peña and Ysil Ribas have been waiting since 6am outside a petrol station. They’re passing the time fixing a leak on Ribas’s 1955 gold and white Mercury.

A tanker has pulled up on the forecourt in front of them, and so the queue behind is growing fast. Although this station only takes US dollars, at a cost far out of reach of most Cubans, Peña says it’s their only choice. “There is no gas in the national pesos,” he says, shrugging.

Soon, even buying petrol in dollars may be impossible. The United States has said it will ensure there will be no more fuel shipments to the beleaguered island.


Beleaguered communist dictatorship you mean.

DAVID KRAYDEN: Canada’s euthanasia program is turning into an organ harvesting nightmare

So what could go wrong with Canada’s euthanasia program, somewhat euphemistically called Medical Assistance in Dying or MAID? Well everything that could go wrong with this program, has gone wrong, from the increasing sphere of those “eligible” for the program to the latest wrinkle: a preponderance of organs coming from Canada to potentially transplant into American patients.

From Endless War to Strategic Reinforcement: Why U.S.-UAE AI Cooperation Could Open a Path to Peace in Ukraine

Trump Israel UAE normalization of relations

For decades, American foreign policy has struggled with a recurring failure: winning wars tactically while losing peace strategically. Ukraine risks becoming the latest case. As the conflict grinds on, costs rise for U.S. taxpayers, European economies weaken, global energy markets destabilize, and Washington’s strategic focus drifts away from the primary long-term challenge — China. Against this backdrop, the United States needs partners that deliver not rhetoric but results.

The U.S.-UAE relationship stands out as one of the few alliances that has consistently transcended administrations, ideologies, and regional crises. Today, this relationship — particularly in artificial intelligence and advanced technology — offers Washington something rare: strategic leverage.
