Trump Is Right: The United Nations Doesn’t Help Countries, It Destroys Them
President Donald Trump shamed the United Nations Tuesday in a blistering speech, noting that he has personally brokered the end of seven wars during his first seven months in office with no help from the U.N.
Ending wars is supposed to be the U.N.’s job. Formed in 1945 after World War II, the U.N. exists to “to maintain international peace and security.” It is for “solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion,” according to the U.N. Charter. But much like NATO, formed in 1949 to guard against the Soviet Union and stop the spread of Communism, the U.N. has lost sight of it mission.
Doug Ford’s speed camera plan sparks anger at Toronto city hall
Mayor Olivia Chow defended Toronto’s speed cameras as an essential safety tool Wednesday, following news that Premier Doug Ford is planning to scrap the devices.
Speaking at an unrelated press conference one day after the Star revealed Ford is preparing legislation this fall to get rid of the cameras, Chow said automated enforcement has proven effective at getting drivers to slow down.
Governor general blasted for billing taxpayers thousands for clothes
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on the federal government to end the governor general’s $130,000 clothing allowance after documents revealed Mary Simon billed taxpayers thousands for shoes and luxury apparel.
“Simon takes a $378,000 salary from taxpayers, she can pay for her own clothes,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director.
Wilders Runs Again
Finally, Western Europeans are taking to the streets for the right reasons. Well, some Western Europeans in some parts of Western Europe, anyway, and at least partly for the right reasons. In France, where street protests (often violent) are as central to the culture as wine, brie, and the cinematic genius of Jerry Lewis, they’ve been rampaging recently over proposed government budget cuts, but back in April they were kicking up a fuss over a blatantly partisan ruling that declared Marine Le Pen ineligible to run for office until 2030. In Britain, of course, Tommy Robinson’s peaceful Unite the Kingdom rally on September 13 drew – depending on whom you listen to – either 3 million protesters or just barely enough people to form a basketball team. (In the pictures, it sure looked like millions.)
Report: Soros Foundation Sent Millions to Terror-Tied Groups
Since 2016, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations has given more than $80 million (€68.13 million) to groups that are allegedly tied to terrorism or extremist violence, a new report has claimed.
It comes shortly after sources told journalists that the FBI is investigating leftist groups for possible ties to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The Washington-based Capital Research Center (CRC) that produced this report is also looking into whether Alex Soros, who was handed his father’s multi-billion dollar empire in 2023, will “build on his father’s legacy” or “tear it down.”
Ottawa Detective Found Guilty for Examining Child Deaths and COVID Vaccine Thinks About Case ‘Every Waking Moment’
OTTAWA—Helen Grus, an Ottawa Police detective found guilty of discredible conduct for investigating the COVID-19 vaccination status of the mothers of deceased infants, says she still thinks about the case frequently.
“When I sleep, I sleep soundly, but when I am awake, I do think of this every single breathing moment that I’m awake. About what has happened, what is happening, what will the future bring,” Grus said in an interview with The Epoch Times at a fundraiser for her legal case in Ottawa on Sept. 20.
Who really killed Charlie Kirk?
Charlie Kirk did not fall to a lone assassin. He was struck down by an atmosphere of lies and hatred — a war of ideas and powers stretching from Moscow to Doha, from the lecture hall to the street. To understand his death, we must trace the brood of demons that prepared the way that prepared the way for his untimely end.
Is burning the Koran a more serious crime than assault?
In central London in February, Turkey-born asylum seeker Hamit Coskun was attacked with a knife and violently assaulted. His assailant, Moussa Kadri, swung at him multiple times with a bread knife. ‘I’m going to kill you’, Kadri said, before kicking and spitting on Coskun as he fell to the ground. Yet it is the victim of this harrowing assault, not his attacker, who committed the more serious crime in the eyes of the English justice system. Because prior to being attacked, Coskun had burned a copy of the Koran.
Peter MacKinnon: Canadians should thank Steven Pinker for denouncing DEI in Parliament
Observers who take issue with current orthodoxies (race-based quotas, compulsory support for racial diversity policies) are often denounced or sidetracked in the country’s universities and other public institutions. Widespread discrimination is practiced in the name of these orthodoxies while the liberal democratic principle of non-discrimination — Section 15(1) of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms — recedes from public view and effect in the name of affirmative action.
Horror film digitally altered in China to make gay couple straight
An Australian horror film featuring a scene with a same-sex wedding was reportedly digitally altered for release in mainland China, transforming the gay couple into a heterosexual one, provoking outrage from viewers who spotted the change.
The critically acclaimed film Together, starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, was released in selected cinemas in China on 12 September. It follows the journey of a young couple who move to the countryside and encounter mysterious and grotesque changes to their bodies.
The Left’s Line on Violence Is Blurring—and a German Youth Leader Just Crossed It
The controversy surrounding Jette Nietzard, federal spokesperson of the German Green Youth, has highlighted a profoundly dangerous trend: the growing acceptance of violence as a political tool in left-wing circles. Nietzard’s repeated suggestions that armed resistance may be justified if Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) were to enter government reflect a rhetoric that risks legitimizing the use of force against democratic outcomes.
THOMSON: If the West has its way, Palestine will be Afghanistan 2.0
Speaking yesterday at a United Nations 2-state solution conference, Prime Minister Carney broached the subject that he would commit the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to assist in “the disarmament and elimination of Hamas as a force.” Sounds like Afghanistan 2.0 to me.
