Imagine being such a sad little troll that you can’t even take off New Year’s Eve. Imagine being so invested in lame flame wars with your digital foes that you were even going at it while the rest of us were getting pissed for 2026. That’s Sadiq Khan and his minions at City Hall. They just couldn’t resist once again using London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display to fire shots in their culture war against the plebs. Honestly, have a day off, you tossers.
She is 48 years old and has had a life she calls an “an embarrassment of riches.” She has a vast network of friends, a devoted family, the steadfast adoration of a small dog. She has performed to raucous laughter in some of North America’s most prestigious comedy clubs and festivals, acted in movies, written brutally funny television shows. She has traveled, shopped, danced and known herself to be deeply loved.
She also suffers from debilitating mental illness that decades of treatment have not tamed. Sometimes she is so crushingly sad that she sobs until her bones ache. Sometimes she feels as if she were standing on a ledge, flipping minute by minute between being sure that if she jumped she would actually fly, and wanting to hurl herself as hard as she can onto the ground.
One man kneels at the edge of a pit filled with bodies. He knows that, within moments, he will be dead. His drawn face burns with defiance. Behind him stands a uniformed, bespectacled Nazi soldier. In his extended right arm, the soldier holds a pistol, just inches from his victim’s skull. A crowd of other Germans stands watching, curious but undisturbed.
This harrowing scene, captured in a 1941 photograph known as “The Last Jew in Vinnitsa,” became an iconic image of the Holocaust for the way it captured the banal savagery of mass slaughter. But for decades, nobody could answer the most basic question the photograph posed: Who were these two men?
Predictably, human nature remains constant across the centuries, driven by the same primal impulses—ambition, fear, greed, and tribal loyalty—that fuel conflict and upheaval. These enduring drives and emotions ensure that humanity cannot permanently exorcise evil; it persists, resurfacing in ever-shifting forms.
In the twentieth century, Western civilization teetered on the brink of annihilation, barely surviving the twin horrors of Nazism and Bolshevism. These ideologies, shrouded in propaganda myths about “race” and “class”, respectively, unleashed unprecedented destruction, claiming tens of millions of lives and threatening the very foundations of liberal democracy. Yet, survival came at a staggering cost, leaving scars that should have instilled constant vigilance.
Canada’s greatest thinker foretold its failure — and ours
A classic work of political philosophy celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. Published in 1965, George Grant’s Lament for a Nation: The Defeat of Canadian Nationalism is exactly what the title suggests: an essay, sometimes angry, often elegiac, at times lyrical, mourning the wreck of the hope that once animated the Canadian experiment. Grant thought the possibility of building, alongside the United States — a more restrained and ordered society that ranked the common good above individual autonomy — had faded. But the book is also much more.
Grant wrote Lament for a Nation in anger at the fall of Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who was defeated in his re-election bid due to backlash over his refusal to accept US nuclear warheads on Canadian soil. According to Grant, Diefenbaker’s “actions turned the ruling class into a pack howling for his blood.” It was no ordinary political defeat, in Grant’s view. He believed that it signaled the end of Canada as a distinct political and moral project.

As Christians worldwide celebrate Christmas, millions are also suffering from severe pressures and persecution in majority-Muslim countries. This includes post-Soviet states, countries governed by Sharia law, and officially secular nations such as Turkey.
According to a 2024 Human Rights Violations Report authored by Turkey’s Association of Protestant Churches, Christians are subject to increased hate crimes, hate speech, threats, discrimination, and dismissal from their jobs because of their religion. They also experience physical assaults, no official recognition of the Protestant church, and a lack of cemeteries for Christians. Foreign Christians are deported or banned entry by denying them residence visas. The Protestant community in Turkey is not allowed to open their own churches nor train their own spiritual leaders, forcing them to operate as ‘associations.’

Recent arrests in the Greater Toronto Area of Waleed Khan, Osman Azizov, and Fahad Sadaat lay bare a disturbing truth that Canadians can no longer ignore: violent jihadist extremism is being cultivated and operationalized here.
What began as two armed attempts to abduct women from public streets in Toronto and Mississauga escalated into one of the most serious terrorism and hate-crime cases in recent memory. The three men now face dozens of charges involving firearms offences, hostage-taking conspiracies and sexual assault with weapons. Police said that the alleged criminals targeted women and members of the Jewish community and that the alleged crimes were motivated by antisemitism.
No country that appoints the likes of Amira Elghawaby as its Islamophobia Tsar can ever be considered “serious about jihad”.
Canadians are feeling generally hopeful heading into 2026, but are pessimistic about the specifics of whether pressing issues at home and abroad will be resolved, a new poll suggests.

The Gothic bell tower still dominates the market square, its spire piercing the sky like a stone lance. For five centuries that bell marked baptisms, weddings, and funerals of generations of Lutherans. On Sunday, November 16, inside the nave and at the altar where Martin Luther himself could have preached, a muezzin cried: “Allahu Akbar.”
This is not an isolated episode. It is twilight. And the fact that we have been convinced to call it dawn is the greatest cultural fraud of our time.
