The economic purge of the young white male

How the Boomers sacrificed their sons to save themselves

I can remember when I first realised that something strange was happening to white men in Hollywood. It was around 2014, and my younger colleagues in LA – often British writers, directors and actors who had moved to California to ‘make it’ – began reporting, anecdotally, that their work was disappearing.

By that I don’t mean the normal vicissitudes of a volatile creative industry. I don’t mean actors ‘resting’ or scripts getting stuck in ‘development hell’. I mean that all jobs, and job opportunities, were abruptly vanishing. Applications went nowhere, CVs were binned, hopeful meetings were suddenly cancelled. And white men in Hollywood in their twenties or thirties, who had assumed they were on the upwards curve of a career, discovered that the optimistic curve had ended. It was more like a ski jump. They were plunging into the drifts of debt, failure and bankruptcy.

As U.S. Guns Pour Into Canada, the Bodies Pile Up

Guns waving in the air, the partygoers danced inside a recording studio on a fashionable city block, near a bar with craft cocktails like “Espresso Yourself” and a boutique hotel with what a Michelin Guide called a “bohemian-baroque aesthetic.”

Then, just after midnight, three rival gang members descended on the alley behind the studio and began firing. The partygoers cracked a door and shot back wildly. Nearly 100 bullets tore into the night, many striking a nearby supermarket and homes.

It was a miracle no one was killed or injured, the police said. When the dust settled, officers recovered 16 guns tossed into trash bins, dumped in the alleyway and shoved under a couch — each one smuggled across the southern border, the police said.

Canada’s border with the United States, that is.

Canada spent $78 million deporting 18,000 people in 2024 — the most since Stephen Harper … in a very loose sense

Canada has spent more than $78 million deporting over 18,000 people in the 2024-25 fiscal year, the most since the government of Stephen Harper, according to data obtained by the Star from the Canada Border Services Agency.

The vast majority of those deported have been asylum seekers whose refugee claims have been rejected, the data says.

The surge comes as the federal government tightens immigration targets and limits new international student permits, a shift that experts say is likely to fuel a rise in deportations as hundreds of thousands of temporary residents face shrinking pathways to permanent status and as a “regularization program” for undocumented migrants, initially promised by the Trudeau government, remains stalled.

… The deportation level in 2024 was the highest since 2012, when more than 19,000 people were removed under Harper’s Conservative government. Deportations include all removals enforced in a given fiscal year, including refugee claimants as well as those living, working or studying in Canada who have overstayed their legal status.

The Star wants you to believe Carney is deporting failed asylum seekers at the same rate as Harper!

But the Star commits a sin of omission failing to point out Harper outperformed Carney by a huge margin based on the total number of asylum seekers each administration has faced.

Google AI – How many asylum seekers did Canada receive in the year 2024 vs. 2012?

In 2024, Canada received approximately 190,000 new asylum claims, a significant increase compared to the 20,500 applications received in 2012.

The Overton Window Reframed

In the days following the Bondi attack, a noticeable shift occurred in Australian public conversation. People began saying out loud what they had previously learned to say only in private: blunt questions about immigration, social cohesion, public safety, and cultural limits. The striking feature was not that these views were new, but that they were suddenly being expressed without apology. Journalists and politicians appeared unsettled, not by the substance of the questions, but by the fact that they were now being asked openly.

What changed was not belief, but permission.

No Tears for the End of the American Empire

Trump’s NSS ends endless American interventions — and the pundits are furious.

When I clicked on the website of The American Spectator Saturday morning and began to read Matthew Omolesky’s lament for the end of the American empire, I thought for a moment that I mistakenly accessed the Council on Foreign Relations’ journal Foreign Affairs or The Economist, which specialize in Trump-bashing and genuflecting at the so-called “rules-based international order.” Then, a friend sent me Fareed Zakaria’s latest column in the Washington Post about Trump making America “small” again. President Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy, which prioritizes U.S. national security interests and seeks to get America out of the protectorate business, has upset the Wilsonians and neoconservatives among us who weep for the end of U.S. global hegemony.

Pakistan in Gaza: Jihad on Steroids

Pakistan is a Muslim shithole state

Pakistan, it seems, has stepped forward, selflessly offering to be part of US President Donald J. Trump’s proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF) in the Gaza Strip. “We’re very grateful to Pakistan for their offer to be part of it, or at least their offer to consider being a part of it,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on December 20.

Seizure of $2 million: Montreal man challenging Quebec forfeiture law

Levy, who has no criminal record, was never charged with any offence related to the money. His lawyers argue it was obtained legitimately.

A Montreal man is challenging the constitutionality of Quebec’s civil forfeiture law after police seized more than $2 million in cash from his home, but never charged him with any crime.

Lawyers for André Levy argue a provision of the law, which presumes cash sums of $2,000 or more are the proceeds of illegal activity except in certain circumstances, violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and are seeking the return of the money.

Why British Jews are experiencing their biggest change in 60 years

“It’s been an incredibly difficult two years,” says Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. “I think our Jewish identity is being worn far more heavily these days given the pain of it all.”

Conflict in the Middle East has, he says, had a profound impact on British Jewish society.

“The attacks of 7 October were felt very personally, not least because there were British Jews who were killed in the initial onslaught and people with British connections held hostage.

“And in the war that followed, the devastation in Gaza was very painful to watch. Then there was the vitriol that surrounded the whole conflict, and the massive rise in antisemitism culminating in deadly attacks.”

Here’s what you need to know about the B.C. oil tanker moratorium

For years, oil tanker traffic has been prohibited off the waters of northern British Columbia in order to protect environmentally sensitive coastlines from disaster.

But the federal government is now open to the idea of changing its moratorium.

The debate over the future of the tanker ban arose from Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in November that lays out the steps for a potential pipeline to carry oil from the Alberta to the Pacific coast.

Questions Mount Over Bail Status Of Accused In Project Neapolitan Terror And Hate Crime Case

TORONTO — Questions are growing over whether individuals accused in one of the most serious hate-motivated and terrorism-linked criminal cases in recent Canadian history have been released on bail, amid limited public disclosure and a court-imposed publication ban.

Project Neapolitan, a major joint investigation led by the Toronto Police Service, Peel Regional Police, and the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, resulted in the arrest of three Toronto men accused of targeting women and members of the Jewish community in armed kidnapping and hostage-taking attempts earlier this year.
