A recent parliamentary address by Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal has renewed discussion in Ottawa about English proficiency among federal representatives and the expectations placed on elected officials who speak English as a second language.

Give that woman a raise … Contractor who drove plow through Palestinian protesters posted Islamophobic, anti-protest content on social media
A city contractor who drove a snowplow through protesters last week had posts of Islamophobic and anti-protest content on her social media account in the weeks leading up to the incident.
The Star has learned that the name the driver gave to police is Athena Niggenaber, a Scarborough resident.
A raise and a bigger tractor.
The U.K. Is Poised to Do Away With This Cornerstone of Western Jurisprudence
The right to be judged by a jury of one’s peers has long been a cornerstone of Western jurisprudence. It bars the government — the same government accusing you of a crime — from having total control by putting average citizens between the defendant and the state. It protects against authoritarian overreach and brings common sense and a reflection of community standards to the judicial process.
Why Canadian bosses love hiring foreign workers
Douglas Todd: Low-skill guest workers toil longer hours, with fewer absences, for less pay than Canadian domestic workers, which means wages go down for everyone, says a peer-reviewed study.
Rarely a week goes by without a small or large Canadian company declaring how desperate it is to hire foreign guest workers.
The country’s “labour shortage” is brutal, they say. Business survival is impossible without willing workers from offshore, complain the owners of hotels, fast-food restaurants, security firms, supermarket chains and construction companies.
Fact: Canada’s corporate class was given license by the Liberal government to flood the nation with cheap foreign labour.
They did so without care or concern that they were destroying your economic and social well being and that of your children.
All to satisfy their greed but Elbows Up eh?

Canadians are protecting the mirage of single-tier health care. It doesn’t exist
Canadian health care as an idea, and Canadian health care as an institution, exist in two different universes.
Notionally, health care in Canada is single-payer, universal and egalitarian. No one can jump the line. No one can buy better or faster care. Everyone has reasonably timely access to primary and specialist care, and critical issues are treated as true medical emergencies.
WTF?
I appreciate it when a liberal woman takes the time to educate everyone on important topics. pic.twitter.com/g9dCM9iMKY

National Guard Shooter ID’d as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal who came to US in 2021 withdrawal
Update 2: Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who came to US in 2021 withdrawal ID’d as Gunman
The crazed gunman who shot two National Guard troops in a possible terror attack near the White House Wednesday has been identified as a 29-year-old Afghan national who came to the US during the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal was allegedly lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC around 2:15 p.m., then opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources.

Two National Guardsman Shot in DC
WASHINGTON — Two National Guard troops were shot Wednesday — leaving one in critical condition — just blocks from the White House, according to law enforcement sources.
The gunman fired on the soldiers at Farragut Square in Northwest DC, less than a half mile north of the White House, the sources said. Photos in the aftermath of the incident appeared to show one of the troops was struck in the head.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and other local and federal officials, states that today’s shooting near the White House was “ambush-style targeted attack” against members of the National Guard, while adding that both of the Guardsmen who were shot… pic.twitter.com/J7DOSXXuXa

How Sweden’s Demographic Winter Turned It Into Europe’s Rape Capital
How decades of declining birthrates, rapid migration, and cultural misalignment helped transform one of the world’s safest societies into the West’s epicenter of sexual violence.
Sweden has spent the past month debating a court ruling that has unsettled even a nation accustomed to difficult conversations about immigration. In October 2025, the Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland upheld the conviction of Yazied Mohamed, an eighteen-year-old Eritrean refugee who raped 16-year-old Meya Åberg in a pedestrian underpass. The details were clear, the evidence immediate, the conviction uncontested. What stunned the country — and was reported across Aftonbladet, Expressen, SVT, and internationally by GB News — was the court’s conclusion that Mohamed could not be deported. The rape, the judges wrote, “did not last long enough” to qualify as “exceptionally serious,” the threshold required to override his protected refugee status.
It’s Not “Racist” to Notice Somali Fraud
Last week, my colleague Ryan Thorpe and I broke a story about widespread fraud committed by Somalis in Minnesota. Members of the state’s Somali community allegedly participated in complex schemes related to autism services, food programs, and housing, which prosecutors estimate have stolen billions of taxpayer dollars. Even worse, some of the cash has ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, a terrorist organization in Somalia.
Can Canada wait out the trade war with the US?
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney appears in no rush to resume trade talks with the US.
He dismissed a question over the weekend about when he last spoke to US President Donald Trump, responding: “Who cares? It’s a detail. I’ll speak to him again when it matters.”
Carney added that, in his view, there is no “burning issue” to raise with his US counterpart.
The prime minister has faced criticism for his apparent lack of urgency, which raises the question about whether Canada is shifting its approach to trade talks with the US.
Delist Alibaba — And All Other China Companies
“Alibaba provides tech support for Chinese military ‘operations’ against targets in the U.S.”
That is what a White House memo charges, according to a November 14 report in the Financial Times. The White House has declined comment.
The Chinese giant reportedly provided “access to customer data that includes IP addresses, WiFi information and payment records, as well as different AI-related services.”
How Ryan Wedding is using cryptocurrency to launder the profits of his alleged multi-billion-dollar drug empire
As the search continues for Ryan Wedding, the Canadian former Olympian accused of running an international drug empire, new details are revealing how prosecutors believe he has been keeping his profits off the books.
In a 54-page indictment unsealed last week, the U.S. Department of Justice alleges that Wedding is still conducting his alleged criminal enterprise while on the run from authorities and using cryptocurrency to launder the profits—which total more than US$1 billion a year.
Campbell’s Defends Its Ingredients After Chicken Controversy
Campbell’s said it placed an executive on temporary leave after he was allegedly caught on tape saying the company made “highly processed food” for “poor people.”
The company defended the ingredients it uses in its products and said it was investigating the allegations against Martin Bally, its vice president of information technology.
“Campbell’s soups are made with real chicken. Period,” the company said.
B.C. to scrap requirement that all new vehicles be zero-emission by 2035
Six years ago, B.C. became the first jurisdiction in the world to legislate zero-emission vehicle sales targets.
Two years ago, it accelerated those targets, mandating that 100 per cent of new, light-duty vehicles sold had to be zero-emission by 2035.
On Tuesday, the province acknowledged it is nowhere close to meeting that goal.
Stalinists hardest hit.
