The leader of a self-styled “African tribe” living in Scottish woods says he is “not afraid” of a court order declaring his encampment should be removed.
A sheriff on Friday issued a warrant for the removal of the so-called Kingdom of Kubala, which has been camped in woodland near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders for the past few weeks, after being shifted from nearby land owned by Scottish Borders council.
On a Friday night at 11 p.m. in June 2022, 29-year-old Isabella Cêpa got a DM on Instagram from a journalist with Folha de S. Paulo, one of Brazil’s top newspapers. The journalist asked Cêpa for a response to the news that she was charged with five counts of “racism” for “misgendering” a transvestite politician and could face up to 10 to 25 years in prison. The journalist hadn’t expected her to see the message; the bombshell story was published the following day. It was the first time Cêpa had heard about the charges.
The handgun at the centre of an RCMP investigation on Prince Edward Island has been the subject of a flurry of lawsuits and counter-lawsuits involving its manufacturer — and was recently acquired in large numbers by the Canadian Armed Forces.
The pistol, a SIG Sauer P320, allegedly misfired while in a Charlottetown police officer’s holster on Sept. 4.
Several U.S. law enforcement agencies have either suspended or discontinued use of the pistol this year over alleged safety concerns. The gun was also at the centre of an investigation by one branch of the American military following the accidental death of a U.S. Air Force security airman in July.
Writing under the alias “Sulaiman Dawood al-Kanadie,” he penned fiery propaganda for the Islamic State about attacks that would dwarf Sept. 11, 2001.
In the ISIS magazine Voice of Khurasan, he praised the terror group’s late leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, demonized Jews and lectured about fighting jihad.
But the internet wasn’t as anonymous as he thought, according to recently-unsealed court documents that detail the RCMP’s investigation on the case.
In the wake of the horrific assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, one might have expected America’s legacy media and left-leaning outlets to rally around basic human decency. After all, this was a brutal act of political violence against a prominent voice for freedom, family values, and American exceptionalism. President Trump himself called it a “national tragedy,” and even some on the left issued tepid condemnations. But oh, how quickly that facade crumbled!
Dean Withers, a well-known liberal, had a very real and human reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Instead of treating him with compassion, people are making videos full of hatred towards him and now he has to defend himself for having emotions. pic.twitter.com/efzB8LNc5N

A funny thing happened earlier this year when many residents of the City of Vaughan complained about speed cameras and one of them was even knocked down shortly after 10 cameras were installed this spring.
Before the cameras were installed, Vaughan Councillor Gila Martow anticipated the backlash and proposed a number of revisions to make the system less punishing. The rest of council didn’t support her on it, but they soon learned the hard way after complaints came flooding in. To their credit though, council then voted for a complete pause to issuing fines until this fall when they’d reassess the issue.
I’m pretty sure most of the looting-I mean peaceful protests- will happen over the weekend, right? pic.twitter.com/dQcgmth797

Governments that concentrate decision-making at the centre have trouble tackling more than a few issues at a time, and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is unlikely to be an exception.
There’s been an understandable focus on preserving trade relations with the U.S., building ties with the rest of the world, and advancing new projects to strengthen the economy. These have consumed the government’s time, interest and intellectual bandwidth.
But the government can’t ignore other big issues that are top of mind for Canadians. Crime is one; the Conservatives are talking about it because voters are, and with reason. Another is immigration.
She believes we should get rid of all MAGA men and replace them with immigrants. Then violence would go way down.
Not sure I agree. pic.twitter.com/gVOGQfNcOD

You’ll remember the phrase “Je Suis Charlie” (I Am Charlie), from the 2015 Islamist massacre of the staff of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. People marched through the streets of Paris with signs saying that. It defeated Islamists, who were never heard from again. (If only!)
Charlie Kirk wasn’t murdered because he was “extreme”… He was murdered because he was effective, unafraid, and inspiring.
The Left celebrates his death while pretending we’re “one people.” We aren’t. This is a war of worldviews.
Rest with God, Charlie… your fight is over.… pic.twitter.com/RmDlkmITK3

One of the reasons George Santayana’s famous line about forgetting the past resonates is because humans can be so bad at remembering. That’s especially true about the past 25 years of liberal Western democracy. The twenty-first century brand of progressivism that’s corrupted so much Western thinking is all about moving on from a past inevitably deemed regressive. To someone like me, who lived through 9-11 in Manhattan and spent years writing about what we learned from it, the extent to which we have forgotten the lessons of that day and discarded so many of the principles we developed to defend ourselves is shocking.
OTTAWA — In Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Canadians have been dying violently — a pattern pointing to the rise of a global narco-kingpin, born not in Sinaloa, Jalisco, or Cancún, but in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
In January 2022, two men were gunned down in the lobby of the Hotel Xcaret, just south of Playa del Carmen. The victims were Vancouver’s Cong Dinh — long known to police as a money launderer within Chinese networks moving synthetic narcotics into the United States and bringing cocaine from Mexico back to Canada — and Toronto’s Thomas Cherukara, both 34. Six months later, in June 2022, two more Canadians, including one on Interpol’s wanted list for fraud, were found stabbed to death in a Playa del Carmen condominium. In December 2023, Montreal’s Samy Tamouro, connected to the Hells Angels, was shot dead inside a Cancún gym. A year later, another Hells Angels associate, Quebec fugitive Mathieu Bélanger — a high-ranking cocaine trafficker wanted on firearms charges — was sprayed with bullets in broad daylight as he climbed into a new Jeep SUV at a Playa del Carmen shopping plaza, the sicarios tearing off on a motorcycle as bystanders scattered.
One of the most unheralded geopolitical developments in the Middle East, following Israel’s military victories over regional enemies, is Israel’s diplomatic reaction to the new regime of Ahmed al-Sharaa (aka Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) in Syria. Recent meetings in Paris between high-level Israeli and Syrian diplomats have reportedly resulted in a de-escalation of tensions as well as in establishing significant security improvements for Israel along its border with Syria.
OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will introduce a bill this fall that would make it harder for people accused of certain crimes to get bail.
Poilievre says the proposal would create a new category of major offences that includes things like sexual assault, kidnapping, human trafficking, home invasion and firearms charges.
Charlie Kirk’s heartbroken widow Erika last night waved to supporters as her husband’s casket was transported to a chapel.
Erika Kirk, née Frantzve, was dressed in all black and wearing sunglasses as she arrived in Arizona on Thursday evening after her husband’s body was flown back from Utah on Air Force Two.
The 36-year-old was greeted by a crowd of mourners waving American flags as a motorcade escorted her to the chapel.
