Ukraine cannot afford Europe’s delusions of victory

Ukraine cannot afford Europe’s delusions of victory

In recent days, both Russia and Ukraine have expressed support for resuming negotiations over a prospective peace deal. While limited in detail, these are promising signals. But this can only be true if Brussels and Kyiv are prepared to make a joint offer based on reasonable terms. That might encourage Russia to abandon its unreasonable terms. One reason for Moscow’s intransigence is the belief that European governments are not interested in a peace settlement and will do everything possible to block one.

1 in 3 LA Non-Citizens in ‘Sample’ Had ‘Voting History’

1 in 3 LA Non-Citizens in ‘Sample’ Had ‘Voting History’

The thing that the media says isn’t happening? Boy, is it ever happening.

The backhanded admissions comes in the form of a filing from LA County election officials who have already admitted that they have no way of verifying the citizenship of voters (because California chooses not to use the SAVE verification system) and that plenty of non-citizens have gotten ballots and have voted.

Why the English feel unsettled

Why the English feel unsettled

Most people will have been shocked, but not surprised, to read last week’s data comparing the most common surnames given to newborn babies in England and Wales today to the same names of 30 years ago. According to the Office for National Statistics, in 1996, the Top10 were Smith, Jones, Williams, Taylor, Brown, Davies, Evans, Thomas, Johnson and Wilson. In 2026, the same list includes Khan, Ahmed, Ali, Hussain, Singh, Patel and Kaur.

STIRLING: The decade of deception — behind the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund

STIRLING: The decade of deception — behind the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund

The raven is a part of Chanie’s story, guiding him to the spirit world when he did not make it home. In the Seven Grandfather Teachings, the Raven also represents honesty and is a reminder to live with integrity. We chose the raven as the symbol of Secret Path’s 10th anniversary to honour Chanie’s memory and the responsibility we share to carry this work forward.

The foregoing is a statement from the Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund website, from the page celebrating the tenth anniversary of “The Secret Path.” This multimedia package — an animated feature-length video, a collection of Gord Downie songs, and a darkly drawn graphic novel — purports to tell the true story of how 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack died while running away from an Indian residential school after allegedly being abused by a priest.

French riot police hit far-left protest mob with water cannon and tear gas while Paris cops seize deadly array of weapons from demo-goers

French riot police hit far-left protest mob with water cannon and tear gas while Paris cops seize deadly array of weapons from demo-goers

Violence erupted across France today as more than 400,000 people took part in mass protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s embattled government.

Tear gas, baton charges and water canons were used by riot police for the second weekend in a row as protests took place in Paris, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes and Marseille on a Saturday described as ‘the longest day’ by law and order officials.

The unrest came just days after thousands were arrested and demonstrations turned violent across the country last Saturday.

‘It’s becoming like [Nazi Germany] here’: Employment lawyer Howard Levitt on antisemitism in Canadian workplaces

‘It’s becoming like [Nazi Germany] here’: Employment lawyer Howard Levitt on antisemitism in Canadian workplaces

“How do you avoid a Nazi Germany? You didn’t,” Toronto employment lawyer Howard Levitt told The Hub. “It’s becoming like that here. And I mean, that would have seemed a ludicrous statement even a year ago… But it’s not a ludicrous statement anymore.”

The true cost of mass migration

The true cost of mass migration

For years, the experts insisted that the laws of supply and demand do not apply, uniquely, to immigration.

Now that the taboo has lifted, the evidence is arriving thick and fast. Three studies published in the past week alone should settle the argument.

The first, from Cambridge Circus Research, uses previously unpublished HMRC payroll data to measure migration’s effect on pay. Outside London, the typical British worker reportedly earns around £1,060 a year less than they would have if migrant employment had been frozen at its 2015 level, and the loss hits hardest at the lower end of the pay scale. Little wonder that millions of Labour voters have given up on their party and turned to Reform.

Carney’s drive to make Canada a European cousin encounters a messy reality

Carney’s drive to make Canada a European cousin encounters a messy reality

Mark Carney’s government was perhaps an hour old when he first laid out an intimate shared narrative of Canada and Europe that he has returned to and refined, again and again.

“The ceremony we just witnessed reflects the wonder of a country built on the bedrock of three peoples: Indigenous, French and British,” he said as he began his first press conference as Prime Minister in front of Rideau Hall after the swearing-in ceremony.

The Coming Insurrection

The Coming Insurrection

Via DataRepublican, we have learned that a group of Democratic governors, retired military and intelligence officers, and former USAID “color revolution” specialists, have for some time been plotting to pull off a color revolution in the United States. Or, to put it more precisely, they have been conspiring to overthrow the constitutionally elected government of the United States, and to replace the Constitution with something completely different.

The crisis in France will not stay in France. Canada, beware

The crisis in France will not stay in France. Canada, beware

What happens in France won’t stay in France. The country, mired in riots and a worsening economic crisis, is but the weak link in a global chain. Although Canada may be spared the worst if a bondfire breaks out, it won’t avoid getting singed by the spreading flames.

At one time during my academic career, I had an annual teaching gig in the south of France. Spring in Provence has its virtues, not least since as a visiting professor I had no administrative or supervisory duties. After a morning seminar, I’d enjoy wine-fuelled “working” lunches in bistros off cobblestoned lanes, then spend the afternoon idling with my notebook in a cafe, nursing pastis. Someone had to do it. And I could see why the French would never want to give up this way of life.

The Many Names of Ilhan Omar

The Many Names of Ilhan Omar

While Capitol Hill may run on Zyn and Celsius, Representative Ilhan Omar apparently runs on deception and incest. Yes, dear citizen, I am talking about the story that recently came to light during DHS’s investigation into Rep. Omar (if that even is her real name). On Wednesday, Oct. 21, the federal government filed a motion with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (say that five times fast) asking the court to delay unsealing the search warrant against Rep. Omar until their investigation ends. This came after Judicial Watch, The New York Times, Politico, and a smattering of other news organizations asked to make the warrant public. The motion, however, may have revealed a teaser of what is to come. The federal government’s motion stated the following…

When Green Agenda Bureaucrats Decide Where Energy Capital Flows, Hidden Costs Mount and The West Loses

When Green Agenda Bureaucrats Decide Where Energy Capital Flows, Hidden Costs Mount and The West Loses

This week the UK Energy Secretary announced that the British government will remove its block on operations of the Jackdaw natural gas field, and that the gas produced there will reach British homes and businesses by the end of October. The decision took years, as UK governments and courts debated the merits of using the gas in light of Britain’s decision to adopt a net-zero economy and move away from fossil fuels.
