Quo Vadis, Europe: A New Dark Age or the Next Renaissance?

Europe today resembles a civilization that has forgotten not only what it once was, but why it ever existed. There is something tragic, Shakespearean, about watching the slow eradication of nations that produced Aristotle and Aquinas, Dante and Da Vinci, Newton and Einstein, the Renaissance and the industrial age. Andre Rieu playing the violin while the continent burns.

Spoiled by prosperity generated by their entrepreneurs. Lulled into a deceptive sense of safety created by the rise of America’s military power after WWII. Deceived by their elites into seeing their shared cultural values as embarrassing relics of pre-globalist times. Opening the gates to migrants from dysfunctional societies, with no opportunities or demands for assimilation.

ZOLTAN: Why are we importing firefighters amidst double-digit youth unemployment?

A firefighter manages a controlled burn to help contain a larger fire near Falls Creek, Australia, Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020. Canadian wildfire experts say Canada is very vulnerable to the kind of devastating wildfires ravaging Australia right now. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP/Rick Rycroft[/caption]PENTICTON — British Columbia is on fire (again), and Premier David Eby is at the airport awkwardly high-fiving hundreds of Mexican firefighters who’ve arrived to contain the blazes.

The province currently has 214 personnel from Mexico, 34 from Australia, and five from New Zealand supporting hundreds of provincial firefighters, with additional international resources expected in the coming days.

Another Win for Socialism: Rents in Manhattan Reach All-Time Highs

Everything socialists touch they ruin. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani tried to freeze rents and imposed a pied-à-terre tax (which is currently being blocked by a pending lawsuit), and all it did was push rents in Manhattan to an all-time high of $6,655 a month.

The “affordability” agenda, ladies and gentlemen.

Because the plan was never to bring down rent. The goal is to accelerate the discontent, blame free markets, and then centralize even more power. https://t.co/zBcamjnDqa

Adam Zivo: The Canadian who helped set the stage for the war against Iran

Although Canada officially refused to join the United States’ springtime war against Iran, new information suggests that Canadian personnel indirectly assisted the campaign while embedded with American forces. This is nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, Ottawa’s support should have been more fulsome, consistent and overt.

When American bombs began to pummel the Islamic Republic of Iran in March, Prime Minister Mark Carney denounced the campaign as “inconsistent with international law,” and claimed that Canada was “not a party to those actions.”

Meet Farah Ahmed, Jason Arday’s colleague

After the Jason Arday disaster, here is new evidence that things have gone deeply wrong at Cambridge University.

We can reveal that a former supporter of Hizb ut-Tahrir, now banned as a terror group, has been appointed assistant research professor of education at Cambridge, in the same faculty as Arday.

Farah Ahmed has explicitly attacked ‘western education’ as a ‘threat’ to Muslims, condemned democracy and integration, and criticised British schools for teaching pupils that child marriage is wrong. During her time at Cambridge, she has written that the Islamic concept of education is sharply opposed to ‘gaining literacy and numeracy and other disciplinary skills demonstrated through qualifications’.

Former Liberal minister Alghabra calls Conservative criticisms over his inclusion in the pro-hate council ‘absurd political gamesmanship’

Former Liberal transport minister Omar Alghabra is defending his inclusion on—and the mandate of—the government’s new anti-hate advisory council after renewed criticism over its perceived lack of urgency from opposition critics and American officials.

“If people have criticisms of the council, its function, or even [my membership], that’s fine, but to use slander and falsehoods … it’s beneath the office that they possess and the seriousness of the issue,” Alghabra said in an interview with The Hill Times last week, calling Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s (Battle River–Crowfoot, Alta.) allegation that he lobbied on behalf of a terrorist group “absurd … political gamesmanship.”

Why All Leftism Is Now Far Left

A20th-century leftist might have debated how much the state should intervene in citizens’ lives. A postmodern leftist only debates how far the transformation of society and the minds of each individual citizen should go. It’s as if they have gone from being bad economists to being bad psychoanalysts.

Fall elections: Why crucial votes in Quebec and Alberta might be a stalling tactic and what U.S. midterms mean to Canada

Three peoples on both sides of the border are about to vote, over the course of one month, on questions of enormous consequence to both countries.

In Canada, Quebecers go to the polls on Oct. 5 in an election that could return a Parti Québécois government that is pledged to a third sovereignty referendum.

Two weeks later, on Oct. 19, Albertans vote in a referendum that puts the breakup of Canada, however indirectly, on the table.

In College Sports, a Looming Collision Between Equity and Market Value

In April, Quinnipiac University announced that it was demoting its women’s varsity rugby program to club status while adding a men’s distance track team. A few weeks later, 23 current and incoming women’s rugby players sued. Quinnipiac’s move, they alleged, discriminated against female athletes in part by denying them equal access to revenue sharing and to NIL (name, image, and likeness) opportunities.

The Quinnipiac experience is a harbinger. The 2025 House v. NCAA settlement, which expanded NIL opportunities for athletes, has introduced elements of market justice into college sports. Title IX, as currently enforced, still demands proportionate parity in resources allocated between men’s and women’s sports. The House NIL settlement puts colleges on a collision course with Title’s IX’s reigning demand for engineered proportional outcomes.

Air force’s 1st new refuelling jet won’t be delivered until late 2027

Canada’s air force will have to wait until the end of next year before it receives the first of four new air tankers critical to refuelling fighter jets in the Arctic.

The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has for the first time outlined the state of the CC-330 Husky fleet purchased to replace its aging Airbus 310s.

The wide-body jets are the backbone of the air force’s intercontinental fleet, flying troops and the prime minister around the globe.

London, Ont. explosives probe: 19 new charges laid against four accused

Nineteen more criminal charges have been added to the list of counts faced by four people arrested in connection with the north London gun-and-explosives investigation earlier this year.

A new, amended and lengthy list of charges was filed with the Ontario Court of Justice Tuesday, bringing the total to 31 separate counts. Some of the counts are joint charges against all four accused, while others pertain to specific people in the case.

Weird.
