With Trump back on side, Ukraine is turning the tables on Russia

In the eyes of Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky was once the wartime leader without any cards to play.

Yet after a private meeting between the two presidents on Wednesday, the American proclaimed Ukraine “is in a position to fight and WIN”.

A short time earlier, Mr Zelensky said he had some “good news” from the battlefield to share with Mr Trump.

The US president appeared to agree, describing a Russian economy in freefall and praising the strength of Ukraine’s armed forces for resisting an invasion that should have ended in victory within four days.

Only one province in Canada showed decline in population: new StatCan data

Data shows that apart from the surge in 2022, 2023 and 2024, this spring saw more immigrants arrive in Canada than any second quarter since 1957

B.C. was the only province in Canada where the population declined between April and June, while the province’s birthrate remains the lowest in the country, according to new Statistics Canada data that shows the impact of changing federal immigration policy on B.C.’s population.

The drop is “the other side” of the surge in the number of temporary residents who came to B.C. over the last three years, said Werner Antweiler, a business professor at the University of B.C. Many of those people are now leaving as their work and study permits expire.

Justice Dept. Official Pushes Prosecutors to Investigate George Soros’s Foundation

A senior Justice Department official has instructed more than a half dozen U.S. attorney’s offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros, the billionaire Democratic donor whom President Trump has demanded be thrown in jail.

The official’s directive, a copy of which was viewed by The New York Times, suggests department leaders are following orders from the president that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation — a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference.

The NYTimes is always OK with whatever Soros does.

The show stars actress Jessica Chastain as an investigator who profiles and identifies would-be domestic terrorists in an attempt to stop them before they commit violent crimes.

The long twilight struggle

“We seek no treasure, we seek no territorial gains, we seek only the right of man to be free; we seek his right to worship his God, to lead his life in his own way, secure from persecution. As the humble laborer returns from his work when the day is done, and sees the smoke curling upwards from his cottage home in the serene evening sky, we wish him to know that no rat-a-tat-tat of the secret police upon his door will disturb his leisure or interrupt his rest.”

—Prime Minister Winston Churchill, explaining Great Britain’s war aims to FDR’s close adviser Harry Hopkins, January 11, 1941, at “Ditchley” in England, as quoted in Erik Larson, The Splendid and the Vile (New York: Crown, 2020) p. 351

Ted Morton: Carney’s first six months of disappointment

The new prime minister was entitled to a six-month honeymoon to prove that he would be different. Well, Mark Carney has now had six months on the job. What does he have to show for it?

No doubt many Canadians still view him as a man of substance, a welcome reprieve from the man of shallow spectacle who preceded him. But that is a very low bar. As every schoolteacher and employer knows, evaluating performance is important. You can’t improve what you don’t track. The Buffalo Project has launched an advertising campaign and a website, reportoncarney.ca, to answer the bottom-line question: are Canadians’ social and economic circumstances seeing actual improvement?

EVERY adult in Britain will need a Government-issued ID card despite backlash at Starmer’s plan for a ‘dystopian nightmare’

Every working adult in Britain will require a Government-issued digital ID card under a ‘dystopian’ plan set to be announced by Sir Keir Starmer.

The idea of a mandatory identification system has long been advocated by Labour as a way to tackle illegal migration.

But the proposal is fiercely opposed by civil rights campaigners, who warn it will erode civil liberties and turn the UK into a ‘papers please’ society.
