When the book Grave Error was published by True North in late 2023, it became an instant bestseller. People wanted to read the book because it contained well-documented information not readily available elsewhere concerning the history of Canada’s Indian Residential Schools (IRS) and the facts surrounding recent claims about “unmarked graves.”

It turns out that when you spend every day parroting the most asinine conspiracies and narratives imaginable, people lose faith in your ability to play it straight pretty quickly. That’s the situation that America’s propaganda media found themselves in this year, as their credibility amongst the public hit the lowest level in recorded history.
For anyone who’s paid attention to their coverage of the 2025 “news” cycle, it’s not hard to see why. From running cover for leftist violence to gaslighting Americans about their role in the cover-up over Joe Biden’s ailing health, the corporate media’s bid to hide the truth was nothing short of remarkable.
In 2003, long before the term “grooming gang” entered the lexicon, social workers in Oldham noticed a disturbing pattern: girls from local children’s homes were repeatedly going missing. Often, they were found in the same locations, being harboured by the same men. Each time the authorities thought they had got a grip on the problem, it reared its head again. By 2006, there were concerns that groups of offenders were targeting children at high schools. One girl, later referred to in court as Child X, fell into their clutches while truanting when she was 12 years old. By 14, she had been abused by 300 men and was addicted to crack cocaine and heroin.
“Unless you scratch below the surface you do not realise the enormity of the problem,” Ruth Baldwin, then the executive director for young people and families at Oldham council, said in December 2006. “We are not talking about teenage relationships. These are men in their 20s, 30s, and beyond.”
A pollster says separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec are unlikely to succeed as long as Canadians feel a persistent sense of insecurity and anxiety about the future.
David Coletto, whose polling firm Abacus Data has been studying what it calls the “precarity mindset” in Canada for the last year, says that uncertainty would need to ease in order for a “yes” vote to succeed in either province.
Donald Trump’s issuing of over 200 executive orders back in January 2025, which banished DEI policies and recognised officially that there are only two genders, prompted an avalanche of assertions that woke is finally over. This auspicious start to Trump’s second term set the mood for much of the conversation on both sides of the Atlantic, with British writer Andrew Doyle publishing his book, The End of Woke, in May.
It is absolutely true that Nick Shirley’s one-day video blitz investigation of Somali daycares in Minnesota produced insufficient evidence to put anybody in jail.
It’s even possible that he made a mistake or two, although given what we already know, the preponderance of the evidence says that most of these daycares are shell companies that exist only to fleece the government. It’s not like Shirley’s video is the only evidence—the US Attorney is actively prosecuting cases, and now citizen journalists around the country are revealing fake Somali daycares.
Heading into 2026, Canada is grappling with talk of separatism referendums in two provinces, Alberta and Quebec. It is slated to participate in a formal review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) at a time when the U.S. has pledged to “reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere.” Public trust in our institutions have plummeted, down nearly 10 percentage points between 2013 and 2024 for our justice system, 13 percentage points for trust in police, and more than 15 percentage points for schools.
A nurse who claims she survived being attacked by a man armed with a crowbar in a hospital waiting room declared today: ‘I’m so, so, so lucky I’m still alive and I’m so lucky I ran when I did.’
Meg Lynch, 28, said she was ‘nearly beaten to death’ while stood getting a drink from a vending machine.
The district nurse, who suffered ‘a few blows to the head’ before running and hiding from her alleged attacker, told how she was left bloodied and bruised.
The left hijacks Brigitte Bardot’s funeral to settle political scores.
Funerals, like awards shows and sporting events, become excuses for the left to force their opinions on a captive audience.
This tasteless trend finds expression with the death of Brigitte Bardot, sex symbol extraordinaire, at 91.
This person wrote the Brigette Bardot piece for Vogue (“It’s our collective responsibility not to let Bardot’s beauty and talent obscure the UGLINESS of her Islamophobia…”)

With most Canadians enjoying the holiday season and the imminent year’s end representing a time for reflection, I happened to notice an all-too-familiar spectacle unfold this past Boxing Day.
Yet again, pro-Palestinian protesters caused a ruckus, marching through Toronto’s famous Eaton Centre, chanting slogans, leaving shoppers bemused (or just plain annoyed), and demanding action against Israel.

WTF?
When something ridiculous or scandalous happens in Edmonton, where I live, I make a point of calling attention to it, perhaps out of a misguided sense of professional honour. The city has now come to nationwide and even international attention for a reason that hits particularly close. A few days before Christmas, a 44-year-old man in good general health, Prashant Sreekumar, turned up at the Grey Nuns hospital with terrible chest pains that had begun at work.
‘It’s not a coincidence’: journalists of color on being laid off amid Trump’s anti-DEI push
Trey Sherman was traveling to work on the New York subway when he received an email from David Reiter, a CBS News executive, about an imminent meeting on 29 October. Sherman, an associate producer of CBS Evening News Plus at the time, suspected that he would be laid off. CBS News’s parent company, Paramount, had closed a merger with the Hollywood studio Skydance in August, and planned to slash more than 2,000 jobs as part of corporate restructuring.
Sherman, who is Black, and Reiter, who is white, had an amicable conversation, according to Sherman. Reiter told Sherman that he was being laid off because his show was being eliminated, Sherman said, and that Reiter was unable to assign the team to other positions. Sherman accepted the news and the two men wished each other good luck.
It has been curious to watch Prime Minister Mark Carney’s parade of year-end interviews while reading Paul Litt’s excellent 2011 biography of former prime minister John Turner: Elusive Destiny.
Many of Turner’s qualities, as noted by journalist Ron Graham in a Saturday Night magazine profile ahead of the 1984 Liberal leadership election, could equally be said of Carney.

Jewish community leaders and a former Liberal justice minister are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to appoint a new antisemitism envoy and provide extra funding for community safety amid rising anxiety after the Bondi Beach Hanukkah shootings.
They say filling the vacant envoy post is a matter of urgency after a spike in antisemitic incidents, including multiple thefts of mezuzahs from the doorways of Toronto Jewish homes this month. A mezuzah contains a parchment inscribed with scripture.
Deborah Lyons resigned in July as Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, telling the Canadian Jewish News she was exhausted after spending nearly two years “waking up every day to a fight.”
I have long wondered what exactly Deb was fighting.
It was absurd that she demanded we protect Jews from the Muslims her employer imported and coddled.
Barb was so tone deaf she called us out for not rallying to her battle cry.
Apparently she missed how for the past decade her employer viciously slandered dissenters as Islamophobes and racists for warning of Islam’s threat to Canada
A threat aided and abetted by the very best our political class, media and universities had to offer.
Deb failed to see Antisemitism is an elite value not a Canadian value.
Maybe Barb will find time in retirement to watch CBC for some needed indoctrination.
