Majority of Canadians say Canada is more dangerous than five years ago: CSIS poll

OTTAWA — Nearly six in 10 Canadians feel their country is more dangerous than five years ago, before Russia invaded Ukraine, India was linked to the murder of a Sikh-Canadian and Canada reckoned with the scourge of foreign interference.

In fact, only a paltry three per cent of Canadians believe Canada is a safer place now than it was five years, according to a January Ekos poll done on behalf of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and recently published online.

Funny how the Hamas support rallies don’t merit a mention.

Trump’s war on urban disorder Blue cities should pay heed

In 2024, Donald Trump flipped tens of thousands of city dwellers from The Bronx to Philadelphia who were frustrated by lenient crime policies in blue cities and states. It’s understandable that the president wants to reward this emerging GOP constituency by showing instant progress. On Monday, the White House issued an executive order to punish jurisdictions that release criminal suspects without requiring them to post cash bail, and a separate order to prepare the National Guard for “rapid nationwide deployment,” including to cities beyond Washington, DC.

But just because urban crime is a real problem doesn’t mean that Trump can fix it by decree. Trump is exceeding his constitutional authority in attempting to circumvent the frustratingly iterative process of federalist democracy, which rarely offers political or practical shortcuts.

David Oliver: Mark Carney’s European submarine hunt

Mark Carney’s visit Tuesday to the shipyard of ThyseenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) in Kiel Germany, confirmed it and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean Co. as the two leading bidders to fulfil the requirement of 12 submarines under Canada’s Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).

Carney’s visit to Ukraine, Poland and Germany comes as Canada seeks to signal its intent to rebuild an atrophied set or defence assets and defence industrial base. It also signals Canada’s desire for strategic autonomy from the U.S. as it builds hard and soft power links with other western allies.

‘Green’ Europe’s industrial masochism

If a self-described leader finds that nobody is following, is leadership present? Perhaps. The next question might be, where is the leader headed?

These queries could well be put to the European Union’s makers of energy policy, who fancy themselves as groundbreakers for a supposed transition away from fossil fuels in favor of “green” technologies. (We use qualifying quotation marks because wind turbines and solar panels have plenty of environmental downsides.)

But, according to recent Energy Institute data, European leaders are driving not a bandwagon onto which the world is jumping but rather a hearse toward self-destruction.

Hate Imam Fadi Kablawi Targets Jews, Christians at Funeral Livestreamed by Islamic Center

“If you pass by a grave of a kafir, give him the news of the hellfire.”

On August 2, 2025, the Islamic Center of South Florida (ICOSF) once again made a public and shocking endorsement of extremism, when it livestreamed a funeral officiated by radical imam Fadi Kablawi. For most houses of worship, a funeral is a sacred, solemn moment of unity and respect. But for ICOSF, it became yet another platform to elevate a hate preacher known for spewing vile rhetoric against Jews, Christians, women, and even fellow Muslims.

Riots erupt in Swiss city after migrant teen is killed in scooter crash while fleeing police

Dramatic riots have erupted in a Swiss city after a migrant teen was killed in a scooter crash while fleeing the police.

Riot cops clashed with protesters who hurled Molotov cocktails in Lausanne as officials desperately tried to put a lid on escalating violence.

The unrest comes with the Olympic capital’s police in the spotlight after four officers were suspended Monday following the unearthing of racist, sexist and discriminatory messages in private WhatsApp groups.

The Human Cost of Open Borders

Europe’s open-borders catastrophe has claimed another casualty. Last weekend, an American tourist was stabbed in the face by a man suspected to be a Syrian migrant in Dresden. John Rudat, a 21-year-old newly qualified paramedic and part-time model, was brutally assaulted when he stepped in to protect two women who were being harassed on a tram. Rudat got into a heated argument with the two male passengers, who first beat him and then later returned to attack him with a knife.

SLOBODIAN: Tens of millions spent — zero female entrepreneurs empowered

Well, Mary Ng is gone — and so is the $130 million in taxpayer dollars the former Liberal federal trade minister allocated to support women’s business start-ups and generate jobs … that never materialized.

Ng didn’t seek re-election in the Markham-Thornhill riding, but she did hang around long enough — a little past the required six years — to collect her handsome MP pension and trot off into the sunset. Well-earned?

Poilievre says temporary foreign workers taking jobs from young Canadians

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says temporary foreign workers are taking jobs from young Canadians while youth unemployment is high.

Poilievre made the comment today during a press conference in Charlottetown, several days after the government released mid-year immigration data.

On Monday, Poilievre said on social media the government had exceeded caps it set for temporary worker visas, and accused the government of being “out of control” on immigration.

Gen Z’s Nostalgia Isn’t Regression — It’s Resistance

There’s a haunting quality to missing something you never experienced. The New York Times recently explored a strange but increasingly familiar phenomenon: Gen Z’s deep yearning for a time before the digital deluge — a kind of “historical nostalgia” for an analog world they never actually lived through. But this isn’t just wistful sentiment or vintage aesthetics. It’s something deeper. Something raw. Something that reflects not a desire to rewind, but a desperate need to re-ground.

Liberals are already missing their promised lower immigration targets

Despite promises from the Liberal government that they would be curbing the sky-high immigration rates of the Trudeau era, new data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada shows that Canada is already on track to exceed its 2025 targets.

In the first seven months of 2025, Canada accepted 246,300 new permanent residents, according to data released last week by IRCC.

GREEN: U.S. rejection of climate-alarmist worldview has major implications for Canada

The United States Department of Energy recently published a report, which essentially summarizes the U.S. government’s rejection of the 30-year-old, United Nations-centric, climate-alarmed consensus worldview.

Carney and his whole family are eco-nuts, especially when there’s profit to be had.

Profit that always translates to your loss without discernible benefit to anything or anyone beyond the connected.
