Happy Post-Independence Day – if that’s the word I’m looking for. I’ll be spending the week on American telly screens for a rollicking hour of Fox News Primetime at 7pm Eastern, starting today and running through till Friday.

“The kidnappers took away 140 students, only 25 students escaped. We still have no idea where the students were taken,” said Emmanuel Paul, a teacher at the Bethel Baptist High School in Kaduna state where the kidnapping happened.

For western nations like the United States and Canada, free speech has always been one of our fundamental founding principles and one that has time and time again set us apart as a place where true freedom is valued and appreciated. But, as you know, the political left has increasingly pushed the limits of this, moving towards near authoritarian ways in the US.
Thankfully, here in the US, we have been able to keep that move at bay for the most part.
Canada, on the other hand, has not been so lucky as of late.
The late Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who served as Canada’s prime minister for more than 15 years and died more than two decades ago, remains more popular nationally than the current office holder, his son Justin, a new survey suggests.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks approaches, victims’ relatives are pressing the courts to answer what they see as lingering questions about the Saudi government’s role in the attacks.
