Emergencies without accountability — how Canada normalized state overreach

Here we go again. Years after the federal government unleashed extraordinary powers against its own citizens during the 2022 Freedom Convoy, Canadians are once more confronted with an uncomfortable truth: the abuse has been legally acknowledged, yet no one in power will be held to account.

Islamism’s ruthless exploitation of Britain’s tradition of toleration

AS TCW reported on Monday, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is discouraging its young people from applying to British universities – not because it fears the students will be targets of ‘Islamophobia’ but because of the risk that they will be radicalised into Islamist extremists. Like other moderate Arab nations, they regard British universities as ‘Hezbollah training camps with matriculation fees’.

Minneapolis Equity Report Urged Using Somali Muslim Genital Mutilation to “Learn About Their Culture”

How far did Minneapolis and Minnesota go in urging Americans to abandon their values and accept Somali Muslim ‘cultural values’?

A report from the Hennepin County Medical Center that was posted on the Minneapolis Minnesota Department of Health site was titled “caring for women affected by female genital cutting” or FGM, a Muslim practice common among Somalis of mutilating the genital areas of young girls, “Striving for Health Equity’

Small and remote towns across Canada are struggling with a surge in homelessness

In the small, northeastern New Brunswick city of Bathurst, homelessness was not even on the radar a few years ago. Today the city of 15,000 is working on opening a 40-bed homeless shelter.

The quaint southwestern Saskatchewan city of Yorkton recently expanded its new emergency shelter to meet growing demand.

And in the remote British Columbia community of 100 Mile House, the town council just bought a specialized firefighting bush truck, to mitigate the risk of out-of-control blazes from homeless people increasingly setting up camp in the surrounding forest.

How the Islamic Republic terrorised Iran – and the world

After the blackout, the body bags. With the internet shut off in Iran, videos on our social-media feeds of thousands upon thousands of Iranians reclaiming their streets have given way to tentative reports of the fatalities. As many as 12,000 protesters are believed to have been killed in Iran, as the Islamic Republic and its thugs have set about putting down two weeks of mass demonstrations with a hail of bullets.

The Prescient Warning Behind Ottawa’s China Influence File—and Carney’s Beijing Electric Vehicle Gamble

A Canadian immigration control official who warned of influence from Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s Beijing–Montreal business networks, predicted the types of outcomes unfolding under Carney.

This abridged 2023 Bureau investigation is being reposted in the aftermath of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trade mission to Beijing. It offers a plausible lens on how Ottawa can arrive at policy choices that may ultimately damage the interests of most Canadians—and erode Canada’s standing as a Western middle power.

The Left is turning Minneapolis into another Portland

Anti-ICE rioters plunged Minneapolis into chaos once again in the early hours of today. That followed Wednesday night’s assault on a pair of FBI vehicles that saw rioters —  including a member of the Latin Kings gang, per government sources — seizing documents and weapons. Protests had intensified in the wake of two ICE shootings in the city in the space of a week — one fatal, the other injuring a man in the leg after he attacked agents with a shovel.

It’s clear Carney is now dealing with the world ‘as it is’

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s press conference on Friday after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was chock-full of news, a strange surprise given that the PM had been spinning everyone toward low expectations before the trip began.

The two countries had struck a deal in which Canada would dramatically lower its tariff rate on Chinese-made electric vehicles and China would slash its levies on canola seed, along with removing tariffs on certain other agriculture and food products, Mr. Carney announced in Beijing.


A sympathetic piece from Carney’s corporate cronies at the Globe but it’s not entirely without merit.

Sigh … Carney made a security deal with our fentanyl dealer.

Food Wars

The federal government has been making recommendations on what we should eat since 1980. Since 1992, those recommendations have been visually summarized in the form of a pyramid.

The problem: Ever since the Food Pyramid was published, Americans have been getting progressively fatter. Trump administration officials think they know why: We have been getting bad advice. So, the administration has produced an “inverted pyramid,” making recommendations that in many cases are the exact opposite of the previous ones.

Carney Cozies Up to China

Cowboy Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is selling out to China, and Chinese dictator Xi Jinping is loving it.

Over the past few days, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been in China in an open attempt to pivot to China and spurn Canada’s relationship with the United States. In a jubilant press release on Friday, the prime minister’s office declared that Carney is “forg[ing] [a] new strategic partnership with the People’s Republic of China.” The government went on to repeatedly tout this “new strategic partnership,” framing the relationship as entirely overhauled.

Further, Carney announced that Canada is dropping tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from 100 percent to 6.1 percent, opening the door to importing cheap Chinese cars (heavily subsidized by the communist government) that promise to sink the Canadian car industry. That decision signals a major break from Canada’s previously united stance with the U.S. against such vehicles.
