Why Didn’t More College Leaders Condemn Charlie Kirk’s Murder?

In 2020, college and university presidents lined up to issue statements about George Floyd’s tragic death, despite the event’s lack of any direct connection to higher education. They were much quieter after Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder last month, even though that incident was a direct assault on the very purpose of their institutions.

Kirk was assassinated as he debated students on a college campus. This heinous attack stoked concerns across American universities about safety and the free exchange of ideas in academia.

In a Warming Arctic, a Fight Brews Over the Fabled Northwest Passage

The Inuit of the far north helped solve the mystery of a doomed 19th-century expedition. Now Canada needs them to strengthen its claim to this newly contested region.

For centuries, death and disaster met those searching for the fabled Northwest Passage. The promise of a shorter sea lane between Europe and Asia, somewhere through the icelocked labyrinth of Canada’s Arctic Archipelago, lured explorers like Sir John Franklin to their doom.

Today, with sea ice melting fast, the Northwest Passage is open long enough to welcome thousands of tourists annually aboard large cruise ships. Nine are expected to dock this year at Gjoa Haven, an Inuit hamlet whose history is tied to the passage’s past and could help secure its future.

“The Northwest Passage goes through our communities, our land,” said Raymond Quqshuun, Gjoa Haven’s mayor.

Nearly 60% of Canadians support declaring states of emergency to clear homeless encampments: poll

Majority of Canadians (nearly 60 per cent) say they support communities declaring states of emergency in order to clear homeless encampments in parks and public spaces, according to a new poll.

Thirty two per cent of Canadians said they supported the tactic and 25 per cent said they somewhat supported it. “Men are more likely to support or somewhat support these initiatives than women,” according to the Nanos poll, published on Oct. 18. Three out of 10 Canadians opposed or somewhat opposed using a state of emergency to clear homeless encampments. Six per cent said they were unsure.

Questions about what Palace knew in Andrew scandal show no sign of going away

Buckingham Palace may have hoped that Prince Andrew giving up his titles might decisively draw a line under the scandals – but the problems for the Palace show no sign of going away.

It seemed that it was the public’s outcry that forced the Palace to recognise that something had to be done, before Andrew was pushed into giving up titles such as the Duke of York.

That raises questions about whether the Palace should have acted sooner in responding to events involving Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein that happened many years ago.

Ori Freiman: Canadian workers shouldn’t be forced to fund NDP-aligned activism

Fred Hahn – The face of public service unions in Canada

For the sake of Canadian workers and their families, and Canada’s ambition to establish economic sovereignty, the time has come to reform public‑sector union funding and end mandatory dues.

This is clear from last week, when the anti-capitalist Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) held its biennial national convention at the luxurious Metro Toronto Convention Centre. There, the national union, representing 800,000 public employees, spent its time debating Canada’s withdrawal from NATO, pledging funds for legal defences of activists who protest foreign conflicts, and passing resolutions disconnected from everyday workplace realities. At this point, it’s fair to ask whether mandatory union dues still serve their purpose.

Batya Ungar-Sargon Shreds the ‘No Kings’ Crybabies

Have you ever noticed how the same leftists who shrug off violent rhetoric against conservatives suddenly lose their minds over a harmless joke? Over the weekend, President Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself piloting a fighter jet and dumping sewage on the “No Kings” protesters, and, predictably, the left went into full meltdown mode. You’d think he’d dropped bombs on their feelings. I suspect therapists from Washington to Los Angeles probably sent Trump a thank-you card for the business boost.

Ottawa briefing note compares Chinese concentration camps to Canada’s residential schools

Residential Schools Kenora

A federal briefing note shows cabinet officials privately told the Chinese Communist regime not to “repeat Canada’s past mistakes,” directly comparing Beijing’s mass detention of Uyghurs to the Indian Residential School system.

The May 6, 2024 document, titled Assistance To China and prepared for the minister of international development, reveals that Canadian diplomats drew parallels between China’s forced labour programs and residential schools, despite international findings that Beijing’s actions amount to genocide.

Trump-Putin meeting canceled after Russia insists goal to conquer Ukraine ‘has not changed’

WASHINGTON — President Trump no longer plans to hold a second in-person summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin “in the immediate future” after Russia rejected Trump’s demand to stop the war in Ukraine along the current battle lines.

The White House announcement followed a Monday call between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, which a source familiar with the conversation said demonstrated the Kremlin’s unwillingness to commit to Trump’s strategy for peace.

CIA playing ‘most important part’ in US strikes in the Caribbean, sources say

The Central Intelligence Agency is providing the bulk of the intelligence used to carry out the controversial lethal air strikes by the Trump administration against small, fast-going boats in the Caribbean Sea suspected of carrying drugs from Venezuela, according to three sources familiar with the operations. Experts say the agency’s central role means much of the evidence used to select which alleged smugglers to kill on the open sea will almost certainly remain secret.

The agency’s central role in the boat strikes has not previously been disclosed. Donald Trump confirmed last Wednesday that he had authorized covert CIA action in Venezuela, but not what the agency would be doing.

DAVIES: What the media missed about our Pierre Poilievre interview

When a clip from our recent interview with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre went viral, the coverage said more about Canada’s media culture than about the exchange itself. It revealed how quickly political discussions can be stripped of context and turned into outrage fodder, a symptom of a news cycle that rewards speed over substance, and also focuses on polarizing content over nuanced dialogue.
