Merz on the brink after second defeat to AfD

Merz on the brink after second defeat to AfD

Friedrich Merz is fighting for his political survival after his Christian Democrats (CDU) party suffered stinging defeats in two key elections.

Exit polls for the state elections, in Berlin and in the eastern state of Mecklenburg Vorpommern, both showed the CDU trailing far behind the hard-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD).

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the AfD surged with 37 per cent of the vote and the CDU secured only 5.5 per cent, the exit polls showed, by far the latter party’s worst ever performance in an election. The AfD is unlikely to take power, however, without a majority.

Group sues City of Toronto, claims law broken in picking shelter spots

Group sues City of Toronto, claims law broken in picking shelter spots

Concerned citizens from across Toronto are suing city hall and three of its leaders, alleging they broke the law and acted in bad faith in choosing where homeless shelters will go.

Safe Neighbourhoods Toronto, a non-profit incorporated last month, is seeking an injunction against the City of Toronto to stop it from setting up shelters that don’t “comply with the criteria approved by city council.” It also seeks $1 million from Mayor Olivia Chow, Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik and Gord Tanner, the city’s head of shelter services.

WILSON: The green building grift that costs taxpayers millions

WILSON: The green building grift that costs taxpayers millions

Saanich, BC, desperately needs a new fire hall. In 2019, city council approved a $26 million replacement for its aging Fire Station Two, set to open in 2023. But because the city requires that all public buildings reach a “LEED” Gold or Platinum standard of environmental efficiency, the station was to be built using trendy mass timber construction. (LEED stands for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.”) Five years later, ground had yet to be broken, and the project was plagued by rapidly rising costs.

Yes, They Really Want to Destroy Us: The Startling Details of the Islamic/Leftist Coalition

Yes, They Really Want to Destroy Us: The Startling Details of the Islamic/Leftist Coalition

Many people over the years have asked how the left, with its glorification of delusion and deviance, could possibly align with Islamic movements that disparage the West for the very hedonism and dissipation that the left idolizes. In this brisk, clear, and massively important new investigation of this peculiar coalition, The Red/Green Axis 3.0: America Wake Up or Be Destroyed, veteran investigative journalist James Simpson offers a chilling answer: “Their ultimate goal is power. Period. Nothing more, nothing less; and of course, the unearned wealth that goes with it.” In this indispensable little volume, Simpson details the myriad ways they’re working now to attain that power.

World Cup brought uneven boost to Vancouver, Toronto neighbourhoods, data show

World Cup brought uneven boost to Vancouver, Toronto neighbourhoods, data show

The 2026 World Cup drew huge crowds of Canadians to a handful of Vancouver and Toronto neighbourhoods, but left some districts with fewer visitors than usual.

New data from Toronto-based analytics company Environics Analytics, provided exclusively to The Globe and Mail, show how unevenly foot traffic was distributed in each city, bolstering reports from businesses that the tournament’s economic boost did not reach every commercial district even as governments touted broader long-term benefits.


It’s quite a stretch to suggest the World Cup was a public benefit but bullshit they will.

Trump says planned 250-foot arch will be ‘military complex’ for drones, snipers

President Donald Trump on Sunday said his proposed 250-foot triumphal arch will now be a “top grade” military complex that will house drones, snipers and ammunition.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that he has agreed to convert the arch “at the strong request” of the U.S. military, and “for National Security purposes.”

The “Military Complex/Triumphal Arch” near Arlington National Cemetery will “house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage,” Trump wrote. “There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World.”

CRACKED: TTC’s disastrous electric bus experience exposed

Weeks before the board of the Toronto Transit Commission hurried a report off the floor, in a transit yard in Philadelphia, the electric buses were on fire.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, had fought a losing battle with its fleet of 25 Proterra Catalyst buses. Cracks kept showing up in the bodies of the buses, including to the chassis, and they seemed to defy any patching done by SEPTA’s engineers.

Japan foreign ministry criticised over costumes used in anti-terror drill

Japan foreign ministry criticised over costumes used in anti-terror drill

Japan’s foreign ministry has come under fire after costumes used to depict terrorists in an anti-terror drill were criticised as stereotypical depictions of a Middle Eastern or Muslim “terrorist”.

The ministry shared pictures of the 10 September drill showing people playing terrorists wearing a headscarf resembling a traditional Arab keffiyeh, a headdress featuring a distinctive woven pattern.

One picture showed a person playing a terrorist wearing the scarf-like cloth as he placed a bag over a hostage’s head. The images drew criticism online, with some users saying the resemblance to a keffiyeh was hard to miss and accusing the ministry of reinforcing stereotypes linking Arabs or Muslims with terrorism.


Most terrorists are Muslim.

Gen. Jennie Carignan and her German counterpart, Gen. Carsten Breuer, were vying for the position. Top military commanders from NATO’s 32 members ultimately decided on Saturday to go with Breuer in a secret ballot election.

Ukraine targets Moscow with hundreds of drones on final day of Russian election

Ukraine has targeted Moscow and the surrounding region in a large-scale attack that involved hundreds of drones.

The attack killed at least three people and damaged what Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said was one of Russia’s “key oil industry facilities” on the final day of the country’s parliamentary elections, authorities said on Sunday.

Zelenskyy said that among the weapons used in the attack was the Pelican, initially thought to be a short-range ballistic missile, but which sources said later was a winged drone.

Canada Ready to Clawback Stellantis Cash Unless Production Resumes at Toronto-Area Factory

Canada Ready to Clawback Stellantis Cash Unless Production Resumes at Toronto-Area Factory

OTTAWA—Canada’s Industry Minister Melanie Joly reiterated Friday that Stellantis STLA -4.46%decrease; down pointing triangle could be on the hook for hundreds of millions in repayments to the government unless the company’s factory near Toronto resumes auto production.

The plant, in Brampton, Ontario, has been idle since 2024, and Stellantis is in advanced talks to sell that factory to a Canadian armored-car maker.

“That plant needs to reopen. We need a new model. If not we’ll get our money back,” said Joly, who has threatened to sue Stellantis to recoup cash that lawmakers gave the car maker to retool its factories in Brampton and Windsor, Ontario.


Watch out Stellantis! Joly is on the case!

Nato welcomes Greenland deal as Trump says it will give US ‘permanent security control’

Nato welcomes Greenland deal as Trump says it will give US ‘permanent security control’

The US and Denmark have announced a deal on Greenland’s security, resolving a diplomatic dispute sparked by President Donald Trump’s threats to seize it by force.

Nato said the deal would help stabilise the region, as Trump said Denmark would grant the US “permanent control over security, and all other needs” in the semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic.

The leaders of Denmark and Greenland welcomed the deal to “strengthen security”, saying it was expected to be signed next week – but did not outline its contents.


The Star says the Carney Regime finds the deal “encouraging”.

In real life that means the LPC will reduce arctic defense measures.
