The virtue of America First

Sovereign realism is the future

For more than 30 years, Washington pursued a strategy built on globalist illusions: that America could serve as the policeman of the world, that it could enlarge Nato endlessly, extend security guarantees without limit, and launch interventions to remake societies in its image. These projects — sold under the pretext of the “rules-based international order” — have drained their strength while hollowing out the republic.

Carney’s tax cut: More sizzle than steak

Parliament has resumed sitting, and with it the accompanying childish back-and-forth banter, which comically passes for political debate in 2025. But hidden beneath the bad theatre that Question Period offers, some serious work occasionally gets done.

In May, Prime Minister Mark Carney proudly announced a new bill to “deliver tax relief for Canadians by reducing the lowest marginal personal income tax rate from 15% to 14%, effective July 1, 2025.

King tells Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to miss royal Christmas

The King has signalled that Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, will not be welcome at the royal family’s Christmas celebrations this year.

Sources close to Charles indicated he will keep the duke and duchess at arm’s length after it emerged that Sarah maintained ties with Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted paedophile, despite publicly denouncing him in 2011.

The King has also made clear that he would prefer the pair, who divorced in 1996, to be “invisible” at future gatherings.

PBO: Country’s fiscal outlook has Canada “at the precipice,”

Just weeks before the federal government is set to table the budget, the country’s fiscal outlook has Canada “at the precipice,” according to interim parliamentary budget officer Jason Jacques.

In the latest economic and fiscal outlook, Jacques estimates the Liberals will post an annual deficit of $68.5 billion this year, up from $51.7 billion dollars last year. The interim PBO also projects that the federal debt-to-GDP ratio — one of the government’s fiscal anchors — will increase over the medium-term, and remain above its pre-pandemic level.

Death toll rises to four after Michigan church shooting and arson attack

At least four people were killed and eight others injured after a gunman drove a vehicle into a Michigan church, opened fire and set the building ablaze, before being killed himself, police say.

Officials said the attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a town 60 miles (100km) northwest of Detroit, happened during a Sunday service attended by hundreds of people.

The suspect, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from Burton, Michigan, was later shot dead by police in the building’s car park.

Canada Post denies Ottawa’s reforms give it leverage over striking union in negotiations

Canada Post is denying the Liberal government’s directive to change the postal service’s operational model gives it leverage over the striking union in negotiations, as the two sides continue their days-long showdown.

“I wouldn’t argue that it’s given us any leverage,” said Jon Hamilton, a spokesperson for Canada Post during an interview on Rosemary Barton Live that aired Sunday. “[The union] walked out in response to them.”

Is there anything worth salvaging?

Gun Grab Gary in focus: Anandasangaree’s life, career, and the controversies shaping his tenure

Gary Anandasangaree’s story begins in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, where he was born into a family marked by politics and conflict. His mother brought him to Canada in 1983 after anti-Tamil riots swept the country, while his father, V. Anandasangaree, remained behind as a prominent Tamil politician.

Four decades later, the boy who arrived as a refugee is now Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, overseeing one of Ottawa’s most politically fraught portfolios.

The sinister arrest of my autistic son over a Hamas tweet

THE evil Starmer has been writing in the Telegraph, confessing that the Left ‘ignored immigration fears for too long’.

His response is to offer a plan for ‘patriotic renewal’ (whatever that is) which he asserts is the only thing that will counter ‘the rise of the populist right’. Towards the conclusion of his piece, he writes: ‘For Labour, we are clear that we must absolutely respond to the reasonable concerns about immigration.’

The damning dossier of evidence piling up against George Soros… and the ‘smoking gun’ that could bring him down

Progressive billionaire George Soros and his $32billion Open Society Foundations (OSF) are facing the most serious threat in their decades-long history. This comes as the Justice Department drew up plans last week to investigate the liberal funding giant for everything from arson to material support of terrorism.

Speaking exclusively with the Daily Mail, Ryan Mauro – an investigator with the conservative Capital Research Center (CRC) – said the evidence against Soros, 95, was already hiding in plain sight, and prosecutors now have the tools to uncover what he called a ‘smoking gun’ that has yet to be discovered.

‘[It] could be an undisclosed bank transaction. It could be a communication. It could be classified intelligence that just hasn’t been shared in the right way – but it’s already out there,’ he said.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s statist legacy

Prime Minister Mark Carney does not, as far I know, surf. So there should be no danger that he will spend his first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as prime minister splashing about in Tofino, B.C., as his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, did in 2021.

The current prime minister does gruelling trail runs, though, so I suppose he could slip out into the Gatineau Hills. But he won’t. Likely he will participate in solemn ceremonies and pledge more government action. It is not clear that the latter will do any good for Indigenous people, but I hope Carney will also be better than Trudeau on the ceremonial part.

Transantifa: 33 children shot by transgender terrorists.

Three years before a leftist transgender-linked gunman murdered Charlie Kirk, a transgender assassin tried to carry out his plan to kill three Supreme Court justices to wipe out humanity.

At one in the morning, Nicholas Roske allegedly showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home carrying a gun, zip ties and tools for breaking and entering. Roske was angry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion because he believed that abortion should be “mandatory for pregnant women” so that “no new people would be born” and “humanity will end”.
