EU States Push for Deportations of Illegal Afghan Migrants

Twenty European Union member states—including Belgium, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Hungary—have jointly urged the European Commission to take concrete steps to enable both voluntary and forced returns of Afghan nationals without legal residence status.

The initiative was announced on Saturday by Belgium’s Minister for Asylum and Migration, Anneleen Van Bossuyt, who warned that the inability to deport rejected or criminal Afghan asylum seekers “undermines public trust” and “compromises security.”

Now is the time to ‘talk, not hit back’: How Mark Carney’s trade focus with the U.S. has shifted

Prime Minister Mark Carney has clearly shifted away from the assertive U.S. trade stance seen on the campaign trail seven months ago to a more cautious, conciliatory approach.

As trade tensions continue, Carney has declined to impose retaliatory tariffs in response to Trump’s protectionist measures. Instead, he and his government have pursued low-key ongoing negotiations, focused primarily on key Canadian sectors such as aluminium, steel and autos.

Back to plain old Sarah, this is the end of the royal road for Fergie

When the late Queen Elizabeth II gave her favourite son the title Duke of York on his wedding day in 1986, she was entrusting him with a dukedom that was cherished by her more than any other.

Her beloved father and mother were the Duke and Duchess of York before they became George VI and Queen Elizabeth. She herself was born Princess Elizabeth of York and her grandfather George V had also held the title.

It was the greatest of gifts and a compliment that Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah Ferguson, returned by demeaning and degrading the dukedom for nearly 40 years.

Rights Groups Urge Ottawa to Maintain Chinese EV Tariffs Amid Canola Dispute

Human rights and civil society groups are urging Ottawa to maintain tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), saying that allowing them into the Canadian market could pose national security risks.

Pro-democracy group Saskatchewan Stands with Hong Kong issued a press release on Oct. 16, calling on the federal government to maintain its tariffs on Chinese EVs “in light of serious national security concerns.” The call comes after China’s ambassador to Canada last weekend suggested that dropping the tariffs could prompt Beijing to lift its levies on Canadian canola–a proposal Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew have urged Ottawa to consider.

Tomahawk diplomacy: how Putin outmanoeuvred Zelensky

Ukrainians’ hopes that President Trump might conclusively swing behind their cause have once again been dashed.

On Friday, after a meeting with President Zelensky, Trump said he was looking forward to meeting President Putin and advocating a peace deal that would leave Russia in control of almost a fifth of Ukraine: “Stop at the battle line and both sides should go home, go to their families.”

One British diplomat said: “It’s a powerful reminder that while the Russians can often be crass and clumsy, they can also be unexpectedly nimble. This time, they outmanoeuvred Zelensky, there’s no point trying to pretend otherwise.”

GOLDSTEIN: Carney Liberals will never be tough on crime

The first problem with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s proposed “tough on crime” legislation is that being tough on crime is not in the Liberals’ DNA.

The origins of this dangerous philosophy can be traced back to Oct. 7, 1971, when Canada’s then-solicitor general, Jean-Pierre Goyer, representing the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau, rose in Parliament to announce a new approach for dealing with criminals.

HORTON: Canada’s quasi-authoritarian moment? A framework for reflecting on the Trudeau era

In Canada, political administrations come and go. Some are painfully endured by citizens, while others pass swiftly, marked by prosperity and comfort. But due to the fast-paced nature of modern politics, we seldom take the time to reflect on past administrations. Instead, we become absorbed in the immediacy of current events.

Demanding Homage To Islam, Mamdani Proves Migration Without Assimilation Is Just Conquest

During Thursday’s New York City mayoral debate, socialist Zohran Mamdani implied former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is unqualified to be mayor because he hadn’t visited a mosque.

“He had more than 10 years and he couldn’t name a single mosque at the last debate we had that he visited,” Mamdani said, before going on to say that “Muslims … want equality and they want respect! … Can you name a single mosque you went to in 10 years?”

Sounds familiar …

MAGA kingpins with ‘damning’ dossier on George Soros reveal their next targets

Room 2501 of the Internal Revenue Service’s imposing headquarters on Constitution Avenue is to become the nerve center of Donald Trump’s new effort to investigate liberal funding groups.

It is home base for the IRS criminal investigation unit, known as IRS-CI, and its members are not ordinary tax agents. They carry guns and their predecessors succeeded where all other law enforcement agents failed – by taking down notorious mobster Al Capone over his finances.

Now, President Trump wants to give IRS-CI a new mission – to investigate left-wing funding groups, including those linked to billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, 95.

P.E.I. Land Regulator’s Past Ties to Law Firm Representing Buddhist Groups Raise Questions

How do so many women end up as ‘Feminists for Islam’?

Hamas fangirls, hijab sellers and deranged anti-Zionism made for a curious sight at the FiLiA feminist conference.

FiLiA – though it sounds like a knock-off sports shoe – is a gender-critical-feminist charity. Like any other lively organisation, it has had its fair share of skirmishes.

In 2015, Jane Fae (a man) pulled out of a conference due to divergent views on prostitution (the man was in favour – quelle surprise!). Julie Bindel and Caroline Criado-Perez also backed out as a result. Just last year, the woefully trans-captured Plaid Cymru banned the FiLiA stall from its spring conference in Caernarfon, after being informed that these feminists’ views were ‘potentially contrary to the party’s values’. (Amusingly, PC had to admit just a few months later that canceling FiLiA’s booking amounted to ‘an act of discrimination under the Equality Act 2010’.)
