Jeffrey Epstein sold Prince Andrew’s “most intimate secrets” to foreign intelligence agencies around the world, a new book has claimed.
Compromising material on the Duke of York is alleged to have been passed to Israel’s Mossad, the Saudi Arabian authorities and the Libyan intelligence services under Colonel Gaddafi.
Details of the claims are made in a new book on the prince, by author Andrew Lownie, which describes how the royal was easy prey for a “rattlesnake” like Epstein.
A petition asking Albertans if they want to remain a part of Canada has been approved by Elections Alberta. A competing petition calling for Alberta’s separation has been referred to the courts by Elections Alberta to determine whether it is constitutional before it can proceed.
Alberta’s chief electoral officer, Gordon McClure, approved the petition against Alberta’s separation by group Alberta Forever Canada on July 30, saying as per legislation, it now needed to garner signatures from 10 percent of eligible voters, or 293,976 signatures, to qualify as a referendum.
A council leader has accused police of “covering up” an alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl by Afghan asylum seekers.
Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was charged last week with the rape of the girl in Nuneaton, while Mohammad Kabir, 23, was charged with kidnap and strangulation.
Warwickshire Police reportedly advised local councillors and officials not to reveal the asylum-seeker background of the two suspects, for fear of “inflaming community tensions”.
Last Sunday, at President Donald Trump’s golf resort in Scotland (a.k.a. King Donald’s summer palace), Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Union pledged European countries would buy US$750 billion (over $1 trillion Canadian) of U.S. energy – largely LNG – over the next three years in return for Trump promising to impose only 15% tariffs on the union’s member states.
Mexico recorded more sudden deaths and violent crimes involving Canadian travelers than any other country last year, according to a federal report, despite drawing far fewer visitors than the United States.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the Department of Foreign Affairs’ Annual Consular Data Report found that 204 Canadians died suddenly while in Mexico in 2024, the highest number of any foreign destination.
With the second Trump term, reestablishing the rule of law is underway, but its universal realization is uncertain. Federal anti-discrimination law is clear enough, but hasn’t been enforced, or has been bizarrely interpreted to not only allow men pretending to be women to participate in women’s sports, but to suggest that was the intention of those writing such laws.
Other laws have been warped not only to allow the surgical mutilation of gender confused children, but to force taxpayers to pay for the procedures and to entirely abrogate parent’s rights to direct the upbringing of their children. Kamala Harris ran on free trans surgeries for illegal immigrants and imprisoned felons.
Yesterday as I went through boarding at Gatwick Airport I smiled as I watched all the excited children going off on their holidays with their families. Everyone had on their new holiday clothes, and despite the crowded check-ins, people were in a good mood. I boarded my flight to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Addis is a busy hub with connections across Africa.
As we began to cruise, I noticed that many of the women on my flight were wearing full black abayas with hijabs, as were the girls they were with, who were aged between eight and 12. I soon realised that these groups consisted only of women: little girls with their mothers and grannies. There were no men. I remembered that this was the start of the long summer holiday, and that these children did not know what was going to happen to them.
Canada has renewed funding for a bilateral scholarship program that requires Chinese candidates applying to study in Canada to show allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and uphold the party’s “socialist system.”
David Morrison, deputy minister of foreign affairs at Global Affairs Canada, on July 30 signed an agreement with his Chinese counterpart, executive vice minister Ma Zhaoxu, to renew the Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program. Through the program, Ottawa funds Chinese applicants to conduct research at Canadian universities as visiting scholars for 4–12 months.
After 23 years on death row, a 72-year-old Christian in Pakistan, Anwar Kenneth, was acquitted of blasphemy this past June by the country’s Supreme Court.
Kenneth, a Catholic, was arrested in 2001 for sending letters deemed blasphemous towards Islam’s Prophet Mohammad and the Quran. He was charged under Section 295-C of Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which carries a mandatory death sentence.
In July 2002, a Lahore court sentenced him to death after he pleaded guilty, declaring, “God is my counsel.”
Not since Jason Donovan sued the Face magazine in 1992 for calling him gay have public figures protested too much as the Macrons have just done. Both Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have risen to the bait of right-wing influencer Candace Owens’s relentless tomcat-calling that Mme Mac was born male (and is actually her brother in disguise). It’s all wonderfully silly – and just what we need when everything seems so dismal.
Canada’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state will likely change little in the world, as our country has refused to play a constructive role in the region for many years, but it confirms for Canadian Jews that their government is not really for them.
Since the October 7 attack on Israel, Canada has witnessed an explosion of hate targeting the Jewish community. Jews in Canada have had their businesses targeted, synagogues and schools have been shot at and firebombed, neighbourhoods have been harassed and Ottawa’s National Holocaust Monument has been defaced.
It was a clear message to the Muslim World that Carney is on Team Muhammad.
Record numbers of over-60s are being referred to the Government’s troubled anti-terrorism scheme, the Daily Mail can reveal today.
Home Office figures show 127 adults in their 60s or beyond were put on Prevent’s radar in 2023/24 – the most since records began in 2016.
Of them, 43 had sparked alarm for expressing ‘extreme right wing’ views.

Few people have heard of Captain Kermit Beahan.
Beahan was the bomb-aimer on the B29 that dropped the plutonium bomb, known as Fat Man, on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, an act that ended possibly the cruellest war in history.
Except that he didn’t drop Fat Man on Nagasaki: He dropped it to the north, 2.18 miles short of the city –— on tennis courts belonging to the managing director of Mitsubishi, next to what had been the largest Roman Catholic cathedral in Japan, in the hilly suburb of Urakami.
As president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, I’ve had the privilege of calling the public’s attention to ongoing energy-related public policy issues which drive up the cost of living in this country. In that same vein, I’d like to call your attention to another matter which is making our lives more expensive. It is, functionally, a significant tax on all economic activity, but one which no political party ran on and none of our representatives in parliament voted for.
I’m speaking of the weakness of the Canadian dollar.
Jeffrey Dowell and Barbara Poushinsky’s home in the rural community of Rideau Ferry, Ont., about an hour outside Ottawa, has a barn-style gable roof and chipper red siding. Inside, the high ceiling, large windows and open-concept layout in the kitchen-living room give the home a modern feel, while wooden pillars throughout the space add a rustic touch.
The 1,200-square-foot house is chic and homey, and kitted out with features that will help the retired couple age in place. You’d never know much of it was built in a factory and delivered to their property on the back of a truck.
