I write from a quiet, mountainous part of Central Europe. The scenery is idyllic, and the fall air is crisp. But much as the case has been in my other recent trips to the European continent, the sights I see and the conversations I hear are all underscored by a similar haunting concern: Will there even be a Europe, in any cognizable sense of the term, a century from now?
Bill C-14, Justice Minister Sean Fraser’s proposed bail reform law, was marketed as a bundle of “sweeping reforms.” In reality, we’re getting no such thing. This bill is just a facade, giving only the appearance of grand change.
Sentencing-wise, C-14 would mandate consecutive (back-to-back) sentences for breaking and entering, but only when the offender is also being sentenced for violence- or gang-related motor vehicle theft. And if someone is caught a second time committing a violence- or gang-related motor vehicle theft, C-14 would require time for those crimes to be served consecutively. Lastly, the bill would require that any extortion sentence be served consecutively to arson from the same event.
SOCIAL media was alive on Tuesday night with reports of protests outside the CityWest migrant hotel on the outskirts of Dublin. Among other media organisations, the BBC covered the incident, with the headline: ‘Arrests after violent protest outside Dublin migrant hotel’.
Not from the headline nor anywhere in the BBC’s report could you glean any reason why more than a thousand people should have assembled outside a Dublin hotel on a cold, wet October night.
Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. were down for nearly 30 per cent year-over-year in August, according to new data from Statistics Canada.
It marks the third time since 2006 that trips to Canada by U.S. residents outnumbered Canadian residents travelling to the U.S., excluding August 2025 and September 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trips to Canada by U.S. residents also decreased for a seventh consecutive month, down 1.4 per cent year-over-year.
ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin, who is black, flaunted her staunch racism again during Wednesday’s edition of The View. This time she shared her fear that the residents of the wealthy, “all-white neighborhood” she lived in would call the police on her son if they saw him jogging as he trained for the Junior Olympics. She claimed she brought her son to the local police and demanded that they “Do not harass him, do not stop him.”

Thieves took “Just Do It” to a whole new level.
Masked robbers cut a hole in the concrete roof of a Florida mall before dropping in to steal 400 to 500 pairs of Nike and New Balance sneakers, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office announced this week.
Between bad trade calls and looming deficits, Canada is driving money out just when it needs it most.
Canadians voted for relative continuity in April, but investors voted with their wallets, moving $124 billion out of the country.
Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche fired off a warning letter to several prominent California Democrats, noting that recent threats to arrest federal ICE agents could prompt an investigation and prosecution.
The letter came in response to Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (CA-11) public suggestion that local or state police could detain ICE agents if they are found to have violated state laws.
In the last couple of weeks, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has calledhimself a “prudent fiscal manager” and a “staunch fiscal conservative.”
Okay. Perhaps it’s a good time to compare Ford’s fiscal record with that of his predecessor Kathleen Wynne, whom Ford frequently lambasted as a “reckless” manager of Ontario’s finances.
Let’s start with spending. During Wynne’s five years as premier, program spending (all spending except for debt interest) peaked in 2017/18, her final year at the helm, at $13,873 per person. By comparison, per-person spending this year under Ford is projected to reach $14,222 (all figures adjusted for inflation).
Netflix has announced its commitment to leveraging generative AI across its streaming platform to improve various aspects of its service, including recommendations, advertising, and content creation. Critics fear the widespread introduction of “AI Slop,” low quality AI videos that have flooded platforms like YouTube.
AI Slop? I dunno this is pretty high quality to me.

An Islamic preacher who was banned from Britain earlier this year has now been barred from entering Canada for a planned countrywide speaking tour.
The preacher, Sheik Uthman ibn Farooq, was prohibited from entering the U.K. by the British government in May after it was reported he had said it would be permitted under Islamic law to have sex with females taken as captives in war.
I give him credit for being true to the Islamic cult’s beliefs.
Here’s a sample of the true Islam he preaches
HEY TEXAS—LISTEN UP
Radical preacher Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq is moving to Texas—and it’s no accident.
This is the same man who openly defends chopping off hands, pledges to fight his own father if he opposes Islam, and mocks Muslims who “water down” Sharia.
He’s not… pic.twitter.com/adf00ySxoP

The illegal alien truck driver responsible for a fatal crash earlier this year in Florida failed his commercial drivers’ license (CDL) test in Washington a staggering 10 times within a two-month window.
Between March and May 2023, Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India, tested 10 times to try to obtain a CDL license to drive trucks in the state of Washington. He failed every single time, according to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin and the Florida attorney general’s office.

Canada’s practice of Indigenous land acknowledgements, viewed by many as a pivotal component of reconciliation, is not without its critics, including some Indigenous leaders and scholars who see them as a performative token gesture.
Andrew Schulz: "I think it's funny when governments try to enforce care… like anytime I'm performing in Canada if it's on an indigenous area they make me do like…"
Joe Rogan: "Land acknowledgement?"
Andrew: "I said that kinda seems like bragging."pic.twitter.com/CC5VFR57cc

The FBI has arrested Chauncey Billups, NBA champion, Hall of Famer, and coach of the Portland Trail Blazers for his association in a rigged poker game operated by some of New York City’s most notorious crime family. “Why would Chauncey do it?” the world of sports is asking. He’s already worth tens of millions of dollars. That’s a question for Billups, his attorneys, his God, and, presumably, Blazers ownership to answer. But as someone who regularly plays a lot of low and micro-stakes poker, I have a pretty good idea.
