GOP lawmaker complains Canada’s defense spending still falls short in the long run
HALIFAX — Republican lawmaker Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina says it’s all good and well that Canada is finally meeting its NATO defense spending commitments, but Canada should make up for two decades of back dues — to the tune of $300 billion.
“Can we do a makeup payment for the 20 years of shortfalls as well?” Tillis told a Saturday panel at the Halifax International Security Forum, a international gathering of defense officials and security professionals.
The only money spent will be used to fortify Festung Ottawa against anticipated popular uprisings.
How the UK Police Criminalised Christian Speech
Forget terror plots, knife crime, or rampant theft, Britain’s police have bigger things to worry about—Christian street preachers. Shaun O’Sullivan, a 36-year-old preacher at the evangelical Awaken church in Swindon, was acquitted unanimously by a jury last week at Crown Court. He faced charges of racial and religious harassment against Muslims for saying the words: “Pray for the Jews and pray for the Palestinians.” This culminated in a six-day trial, costing an estimated £20,000.
Inconvenient Indian author Thomas King says he is not part Cherokee
Thomas King, the award-winning Canadian-American author of such books as the 2020 novel Indians on Vacation and 2012’s The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America, is not part Cherokee, as he long assumed himself to be.
In an exclusive interview with The Globe and Mail, the 82-year-old writer said he learned he was not Indigenous when he met recently with the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds, a whistle-blowing organization based in North Carolina that is dedicated to exposing false claims of Native American heritage.
“I’m still in shock,” Mr. King said, speaking from his home in Guelph, Ont.
To his credit …
All my life, I believed I was Indigenous. Now, I must reckon with the inconvenient truth
Indigenous activist wins court ruling forcing disclosure of band finances
Frog Lake First Nation member Hans McCarthy has won a landmark Federal Court decision giving individual band members the right to access documents detailing how their community’s money is managed.
McCarthy, an indigenous activist, partnered with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) to compel Indigenous Services Canada to release band council resolutions governing the Frog Lake trust fund, which holds revenues from natural resources on band lands.
Former Zelensky Spox: Ukraine Must Sign Peace Deal To Avoid Even Greater Losses
Things are very bad in Ukraine right now. The former spokeswoman for Ukraine’s clearly overmatched comedian leader says things could get a lot worse if Ukraine’s government walks away from peace this time.
“Every subsequent deal for Ukraine will only be worse — because we are losing. We are losing people, territory, and the economy,” Iuliia Mendel, press secretary for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from 2019 to 2021, wrote in an X post this weekend as negotiators went back and forth in marathon peace talks.
’60 Minutes’ Acts as Handmaids to a Feminist ‘Titan’
The self-appointed enforcers of “progressive” media indoctrination are satisfied that CBS hasn’t yet changed the tone of “60 Minutes,” which they call a “crown jewel” of the Dan Rather Network. Tom Jones at the Poynter Institute was pleased that Sunday’s show still featured two “fair and factual” stories that criticized President Donald Trump.
Hunting ‘absolutely not permitted’ in residential neighbourhoods, police warn
An Aurora man is facing several charges after a rabbit was shot and killed on a street in Newmarket over the summer.
York Regional Police (YRP) say they identified and charged a 52-year-old man following the incident that happened on July 27 in the area of Glenway Circle and Eagle Street West.
No, the Picts were not black
Carved in Stone is ‘a storyteller’s guide to the Picts’, the people who lived in what is now northern and eastern Scotland over a thousand years ago. Produced in partnership with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, it draws on the work of an impressive roster of archaeologists and historians. But the real selling point is that the authors are gamers, and the book is designed in part for people who want to roleplay as Picts in games like Dungeons & Dragons.
Insurrection Chic
Democrats now celebrate the very nullificationist tactics they once decried, embracing a neo-Confederate defiance of federal authority to undermine a president they despise.
Is Jeff Davis the Model?
Who is the real, or fictional, inspiration for the new insurrectionary wing of the Democrat Party?
The fictitious Hollywood insurrectionist, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “James Mattoon Scott” (Burt Lancaster), who in the 1964 film Seven Days in May attempted to overthrow the presidency?

Terry Newman: Kent Monkman exhibit is guilt porn for woke white people
Winnipeg Cree artist Kent Monkman’s exhibition, “History is Painted by the Victors,” is now on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. It features 20 paintings that have been rightly called “racy,” “violent,” “radical,” “topical,” “lurid” and “melodramatic.”
‘The Age Of Disclosure’ Delivers
So, I watched the new UAP documentary The Age Of Disclosure, which you can rent on Amazon streaming. It’s not cheap — $19 to rent — but I highly recommend doing so. There is very little in the film that people like me, who have been immersed in this stuff, that is new — but it’s a great way to get the most basic information in a single place. You will note that all the people interviewed are senior government officials (e.g., Secretary of State Marco Rubio, US Senators and Congressmen), top scientists, and others. In other words, not fringe weirdos or normies interviewed on History Channel documentaries.
In my view, you cannot watch this film and deny that the UAP thing is real, and therefore extremely important. There are many questions about what it is, where it comes from, and the meaning of it all. But at this point, it takes far more of a leap of faith to believe it’s not real than the opposite.

BORG: All Rhodes lead to Oxford- Freeland is abandoning her constituents
Chrystia Freeland may still hold a seat in the House of Commons, but politically and geographically, she appears already gone. With her new appointment as CEO of the Rhodes Trust in Oxford beginning in July 2026, Freeland is positioning herself for a future far outside Canadian public life while continuing to occupy a taxpayer-funded parliamentary seat she no longer intends to defend or actively represent.
It is a move that feels less like public service and more like a carefully timed exit from accountability.
Prosecutors outed a confidential informant. Now, a Toronto judge has tossed ‘very serious’ charges — and two people are in ‘grave danger’
An individual has had their “very serious” criminal charges thrown out by a Toronto judge and has been told to immediately go into witness protection after the Crown inadvertently revealed their relative is a confidential informant.
It’s an error by the prosecution that has put both individuals in “grave danger” of being killed, Superior Court Justice Kenneth Campbell wrote in his decision released earlier this month.
This will inspire confidence in the judicial system.
