Why it just became more difficult to remove suspected terrorists from Canada

Canadians’ patience with immigration mismanagement is wearing thin: 56 per cent believe that immigration levels are too high, and one-third believe immigration increases crime. Their growing fears about public safety have now been compounded by the Federal Court, which just released a ruling that threatens to make things worse.

Palestinians Still Prefer Hamas and ‘Armed Struggle’ Against Israel

Those who thought that Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the ensuing war in the Gaza Strip have made Palestinians change their minds about the terror group are in for a rude awakening.

More than half of Palestinians continue to support the atrocities committed by Hamas against Israelis and foreign nationals on October 7. Moreover, the terror group remains popular among a large number of Palestinians. Support for Hamas means support for the destruction of Israel through Jihad (holy war).

Pentagon readying thousands of Guard ‘reaction forces’ as U.S. mission widens

The Pentagon has ordered thousands of specialized National Guard personnel to complete civil unrest mission training over the next several months, an indication that the Trump administration’s effort to send uniformed military forces into urban centers — once reserved for extraordinary emergencies — could become the norm.

The Defense Department’s newly established “quick reaction force” within the National Guard must be trained, equipped with riot-control gear and ready for deployment by Jan. 1, according to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post. The 200 troops will be drawn from National Guard personnel whose primary focus is responding to disasters like nuclear accidents and terrorist attacks, the documents said.

ICE Rioters Had a Very, Very Bad, ‘Find Out’ Kind of Day

This was a bad week for the bad guys who wanted to kill or maim Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in two raids last summer. There are now more of them in custody and looking for lawyers.

Over the past few days, federal officers have rolled up key bad guys who were involved in ambushing ICE and other federal officers during two notorious raids—one in California and one in Texas—and in the violent attack on state patrol officers during the latest L.A. ICE riots. One involved an Antifa perpetrator, and the other involved angry activists who were called to riot at the site of a notorious pot farm raid by using phone apps to vector them to the scene.

GUNTER: Ottawa’s EV mandate just isn’t possible in the time frame

Brian Kingston, CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, Monday asked the Commons industry committee to recommend scrapping the federal EV mandate for good, not just for 2026. In September, Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended the EV mandate for next year that would have dictated carmakers ensure at least 20% of the cars and light trucks sold next year were EVs.

Prince Andrew to be stripped of all titles and will leave Royal Lodge

The King has removed Prince Andrew’s remaining titles and will evict him from Royal Lodge.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the monarch’s younger brother would now be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Confirming that Andrew will now surrender the lease on his Windsor home, the palace said the King and Queen wanted to make clear that their sympathies had always rested with the victims of abuse


The statement from Buckingham Palace in full:

His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew.

Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision won’t save Canada from Trump’s tariffs

The courts said no, three times in a row.

In May, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ruled Donald Trump had no authority to impose 10-per-cent tariffs on global imports and no authority, in citing trade imbalances and fentanyl trafficking, to impose even higher rates on Canada. The Trump administration had claimed such authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

GOLDSTEIN: UN’s global climate-change strategy a house of cards

On the heels of a report that says Canada will fail to meet its industrial greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in its ostensible fight against climate change comes a new United Nations report that says the same is true for global emissions.

The UN estimates global emissions will decrease by 17% compared to 1990 levels by 2035, far short of the 60% needed to avoid what it says would be catastrophic global warming, meaning an average global temperature increase of more than 1.5 C to 2 C.

Trump directs Pentagon to test nuclear weapons for first time since 1992

GYEONGJU, South Korea — President Donald Trump on Thursday morning said he directed the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” with Russia and China, an apparent attempt to flex the United States’ military might ahead of a high-stakes trade meeting here with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

Trump’s announcement on Truth Social signaled a reversal of decades of United States nuclear policy that could have far-reaching consequences for relations with U.S. adversaries, though his post included very few details about what the tests would entail. The last nuclear weapon test in the United States was held in 1992, before President George H.W. Bush implemented a moratorium on such exercises at the conclusion of the Cold War.

Trump wrote that the process would begin immediately and was in response to other countries’ testing programs.
