Almost three-quarters of Canadians favour reducing the number of new immigrants coming here, while two-thirds support the government’s plan to cut the number of temporary residents, a new poll shows.

The Nanos poll for The Globe and Mail found that Canadians are more than twice as likely to support reducing the number of new immigrants coming to Canada, compared with those who oppose a cut.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is latest evidence that US is suffering an epidemic of leftist violence

We are suffering through an epidemic of leftist violence.

The ruthless assassination of conservative youth leader Charlie Kirk, 31, at a crowded campus event in Utah on Wednesday is the latest manifestation of the hateful rhetoric aimed at President Trump and his MAGA movement.

It’s a sad irony that Kirk’s shockingly public murder happened the day before the trial begins of Ryan Routh, one of the alleged assassins who tried to rub out Trump during the 2024 campaign.

FBI releases photos of person of interest as rifle recovered in the search for Charlie Kirk’s killer

OREM, Utah (AP) — The sniper who assassinated Charlie Kirk is believed to have jumped off a roof and fled into a neighborhood after firing one shot and has not been identified, authorities said Thursday in disclosing they have recovered a high-powered, bolt-action rifle they believe was used in the attack and are reviewing video footage of the person they believe was responsible.

The FBI has released two photos of a person of interest in connection with the shooting as investigators appealed to the public for information. The photos show a person wearing a hat, sunglasses and a long-sleeve black shirt.

More Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says

How did the Temporary Foreign Worker program come to be the scapegoat for all our ills?

Did you know that Canada has admitted more than 15 million temporary workers since 2015? Neither did I, until I read it on Twitter (X).

The post includes an “official government of Canada chart.” Sure enough, it shows the numbers admitted under three temporary work programs – not only the Temporary Foreign Worker program, but also the International Mobility Program, as well as study permits, which allow the bearers to work up to 24 hours a week – have grown from about 750,000 as of 2015 to 3.1 million in 2024.


So desperate he’ll cite one tweet made in error to justify his sycophancy to those who have abused Canada and Canadians through a horrid mass immigration scam.

Nasa bans Chinese nationals from working on its space programmes

US space agency Nasa has blocked Chinese citizens with valid US visas from its facilities – a move that effectively bars them from working at one of the most respected space research centres.

Chinese nationals, who could only work at Nasa as contractors or students contributing to research, found out on 5 September that they had lost all access to Nasa’s systems and facilities, Bloomberg news reported, citing sources.

Nasa then confirmed this, saying Chinese nationals would be restricted from using the agency’s “facilities, materials and networks to ensure the security of our work”.


This has been self-evident for what 25 years?

U.S. ATTACKED; HIJACKED JETS DESTROY TWIN TOWERS AND HIT PENTAGON IN DAY OF TERROR

It kept getting worse.

The horror arrived in episodic bursts of chilling disbelief, signified first by trembling floors, sharp eruptions, cracked windows. There was the actual unfathomable realization of a gaping, flaming hole in first one of the tall towers, and then the same thing all over again in its twin. There was the merciless sight of bodies helplessly tumbling out, some of them in flames.

Finally, the mighty towers themselves were reduced to nothing. Dense plumes of smoke raced through the downtown avenues, coursing between the buildings, shaped like tornadoes on their sides.


This is the NYTimes piece from Sept 12 2001.

Never forget.

My late great wife. Kathy was moved to tears earlier that morning at the 10th anniversary of 911. Yes she really did try to trip a Westboro church member as they stained a sacred day.

A Tragedy Worse Than Epstein’s Island, But With Less Paperwork

Under Joe Biden, or whoever was running the country between 2021 and 2024, over 470,000 unaccompanied migrant children waltzed into the country. Many of these kids promptly vanished into a bureaucratic black hole. Since then, in a move both heroic and horrifyingly necessary, the Trump administration has located over 22,000 of these kids, arrested 400 traffickers, and uncovered the grim reality that 27 children met tragic ends through murder, overdose, or suicide. Yes, Epstein’s operation was a master class in depravity, but Biden’s border policies might just take the cake, and it’s a moldy, taxpayer-funded one at that.

Half of Canadians think Poilievre’s chances of beating Carney are ‘poor,’ while PM’s honeymoon erodes: poll

OTTAWA — Half of Canadians believe Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s chances of beating Prime Minister Mark Carney are poor at best even as Carney’s approval ratings show the first signs of slipping, according to a new Leger poll.

“Mr. Poilievre still has work to do… to broaden his appeal to the greater electorate,” Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns said in an interview.

‘Steep decline’ continues: Canada-U.S. travel data down again in August

New preliminary data shows that trips between Canada and the United States are down once again in August, in what Statistics Canada notes is the seventh straight month of declining international travel.

Last month, 1.8 million U.S. residents entered Canada by automobile and just shy of 590,000 did so by air, down 4.5 and 3.6 per cent, respectively, from August 2024.

Canadian travellers, meanwhile, showed a “steep decline” in trips to the United States, with U.S. automobile travel down roughly 34 per cent and air travel down more than 25 per cent from 12 months prior.

Illegal Immigrants Finally Convicted Four Years After Raping 18-Year-Old Girl

The Bouches-du-Rhône juvenile court sentenced two men to long prison terms for the rape of an 18-year-old woman near the SNCF train station in Aix-en-Provence in December 2021.

“It’s a brutal rape par excellence,” said the victim’s lawyer, Maud Bertrand, to Le Figaro.

The court handed Mohamed Annabi, a 29-year-old Algerian, a 17-year sentence that includes a two-thirds security period, a permanent ban from French territory, and registration in the FIJAIS (automated judicial file for perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses). His accomplice, Amen-Allah Handiri, a 20-year-old Tunisian who was 17 at the time of the crime, received 15 years.

Charlie Kirk assassin picked spot that could allow him to get ‘miles and miles away’ in just minutes: retired FBI agent

Charlie Kirk’s assassin appears to have picked a rooftop from where he could make a quick escape and be “miles and miles away” within minutes, a retired FBI expert said early Thursday.

The sniper — who remains at large early Thursday — fired the single, fatal shot from the top of the Losee Center Building at Utah Valley University, some 200 yards away from where Kirk was seated in a pop-up tent speaking in front of 3,000 people, authorities have said.

Elon Musk Commits $1 Million To Murals Of Iryna Zarutska Nationwide, Turning Public Spaces Into Culture War Battlegrounds

Americans are learning this week about the urgent need to rebuild insane asylums and expand prison capacity, given the Democratic Party’s nation-killing progressive mass-release policies that have flooded city streets and communities with violent criminals, such as the one who brutally murdered a young Ukrainian refugee woman in broad daylight on public transit in North Carolina.

Carney considering scrapping tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles

If Canadians were in the driver’s seat, tariffs imposed by Ottawa on Chinese electric vehicles (EV) would have an easier road to the Canadian market.

At least that’s according to a Nanos Research survey with CTV News, which found 62 per cent of respondents either support or somewhat support removing a 100 per cent tax on all Chinese-made EVs, in the hopes that China may remove tariffs against Canadian crops like Canola.

Just what we need.
