The American alcohol industry is grappling with severe financial headwinds as 2025 comes to a close, marked by a wave of bankruptcies and the lowest consumer drinking rates recorded in nearly a century.
Canada has a ‘disturbing undercurrent of Jew hatred,’ advocate Aviva Klompas says
After the October 7 attacks in Israel, Aviva Klompas noticed that rather than sympathy and support, what surfaced was a “disturbing undercurrent of Jew hatred that was apparently lying dormant in Canada.”
“The nature of what has exploded from under the surface is shocking, particularly for a country like Canada that prides itself on multiculturalism and the ability to live together,” said Klompas, a writer and the CEO and co-founder of Boundless, a think tank dedicated to educating groups about Israel and combatting antisemitism.
Ms. Klompas advised on the settlement of Syrian refugees.
AUBUT: Trudeau, Freeland, and Carney turned credentials, identity, and symbolism into substitutes for governing competence
The decline of merit is the story of modern Canada. It began as a slow corrosion under Justin Trudeau, whose rise was fuelled by name recognition and emotional politics rather than achievement. It deepened under Chrystia Freeland, who turned fiscal management into performance art. And it has continued under Mark Carney, whose credentials might suggest competence but whose actions have proven the opposite. These are not isolated examples; they are milestones on a national journey away from merit and toward mediocrity.
Just Call It Islam
Almost a quarter-century has passed since September 11, when 19 Islamic radicals murdered nearly 3,000 people in line with the blunt teaching of “The Verse of the Sword” (Quran 9:5). That cataclysm should have sufficed to cause Western leaders to examine the doctrines of the Muhammadan religion in order to understand why the killers carried out this crime.
But that didn’t happen. Instead, we can summarize the Western leaders’ response in two statements.
How to destroy a country, part 4
Introduce mass immigration. The white working class ‘betrayed’ the hard left when they failed to rise in the much longed-for proletarian revolution, and they failed to rise because they had become too affluent. The Marxist solution was to introduce a new, foreign-born ‘oppressed proletariat’ as a means of enabling Socialism’s march toward total power. The number of Third World immigrants in Britain runs into the millions. This deliberate racial dilution and dispossession of an indigenous people has never happened on such a scale – unless under threat or use of extreme violence.
‘Hiding their Jewish identity’: Professor warns antisemitism is making campuses intolerable for Jews
“Bondi was a warning shot,” cautions Cary Kogan, professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa. “If Western governments aren’t going to deal with the issue (of antisemitism), this is what we’re going to end up with. And I worry; the intelligence community has told us very clearly that there are bad actors here in Canada, and you know, the government needs to listen.”
The trans blob is still waging war on women
Around this time last year, I ended my spiked review-of-the-year piece with an optimistic flourish: ‘For the first time ever, I can say that 2025 will be the year the trans trend crashes.’ Twelve months on and I can’t decide whether I should feel smug or a total chump. To misquote the fox-bashing trans activist, Jolyon Maugham: ‘At a deeply technical level we won. At every substantive level we lost.’
Politico Frets About a ‘Far-Right’ Takeover of Christmas
You simply cannot hate and/or mock the Left-dominated media enough. Even Christmas is not safe from being targeted by their joyless, ham-fisted propaganda to project their own campaign of cultural subversion onto some straw man they relentlessly label the “far-right.”
Hamasniks disrupt Boxing Day shopping at Eaton Centre
Families and shoppers were just trying to enjoy the light show and pick up some Boxing Day deals at the Eaton Centre when the Hamasniks showed up.
Protesters disrupt the Eaton Centre’s hourly “Light & Snow” show, using megaphones to chant while embedded in the crowd of Boxing Day shoppers.
Several familiar faces appeared, the same people who routinely commandeer public events and spaces to advance their message.

Why an amateur sleuth says he’s solved TWO of the world’s most gruesome unsolved murder cases.. and now the FBI is investigating
Carried out with gruesome, sadistic relish by killers who seemed to revel in their notoriety, these are murders which still transfix America today.
In 1947 an aspiring Hollywood actress known as the Black Dahlia was found dead in Los Angeles. Her mutilated body was severed clean in half at the waist, a grotesque smile carved into her cheeks.
Two decades later, the ‘Zodiac’ killer emerged from the shadows and plunged northern California into a world of fear. Stalking young couples under cover of darkness, this second monster claimed at least five victims and taunted the police and newspapers with letters and cryptograms, daring them to unravel his identity.
Can a Statue Be the Victim of Sexual Assault?
Can a statue be the victim of sexual assault? This is a very serious question that recently stirred up Parisians for several weeks. In the heart of Montmartre, the famous hill where artists and lovers of Paris have gathered for nearly two centuries, stands a bust of the Egyptian-born singer Dalida, known to the French for several immortal songs that have become part of the national musical heritage.
Like so many others, Dalida frequented Montmartre for many years and made it her home from 1962 until her death in 1987. She now rests for eternity in the Montmartre cemetery overlooking the hill.
Chief science advisor office sought justification to spend $34K on UFO survey
The office of Chief Science Advisor Mona Nemer scrambled to justify spending more than $34,000 on a UFO survey that no parliamentarian requested, according to access-to-information records that raise fresh questions about Ottawa’s spending priorities.
Blacklock’s Reporter says internal 2024 memos show staff were instructed to come up with a rationale for the polling project as cabinet publicly pledged to rein in unnecessary expenditures.
Cheap at any price!
GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney says Justin Trudeau blew $200 billion on a failed climate strategy
After years of nonsense spouted by Canada’s Liberal government, Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged in year-end interviews with CBC that “Canada is not going to reach our 2030 and 2035 climate targets” under former PM Justin Trudeau’s climate change plan.
He said it had “too much regulation, not enough action” with a lot of talk “and then nothing happens,” thus admitting the failure of Trudeau’s taxpayer-financed, $200-billion-plus strategy.
In, out and just hanging on: A tumultuous year in politics for Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre
OTTAWA—By the time you read this it is entirely possible that everything has changed.
It’s been that kind of year.
Think back to January, when Mark Carney was just a former central banker quietly making phone calls to nervous Liberal MPs. Pierre Poilievre was cruising towards a Conservative majority government that appeared all but guaranteed. And Donald Trump was only getting started.
WTF?
