Liberal whirlwind blocks Geert Wilders from power in lesson for Starmer

Geert Wilders will be banished to the opposition benches following election results that put centrist liberals in pole position to lead the next government.

The “Dutch Trump” won a landslide almost two years ago in a result that shook a Europe led by governments struggling to contain their own insurgent hard-Right parties.

Leaders including Sir Keir Starmer will be poring over Rob Jetten’s triumph for clues to how to ward off the threat of the populist and anti-migrant Right, led by the poll-topping Nigel Farage.

Ontario sets date to remove speed cameras, temporary signs to be installed

The Ford government’s automated speed enforcement legislation will become law just two weeks after it was first introduced, compelling municipalities to remove speed cameras before roundabouts, speed bumps and flashing lights have been installed.

Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria said an omnibus red tape bill, which includes the speed camera ban, will receive royal assent next Monday, with municipalities then required to remove the cameras by Nov. 14.

Hundreds reportedly killed at Sudanese hospital as evidence of RSF atrocities mounts

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces killed hundreds of patients and staff inside a hospital in El Fasher, according to the World Health Organization and the Sudan Doctors Network, after the paramilitary group claimed control of the city on Sunday.

The WHO secretary general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said he was “appalled and deeply shocked” at reports that more than 460 people had been killed at the Saudi maternity hospital, without assigning blame, in a post on X.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the Sudan Doctors Network, a medical group monitoring the civil war, said: “The Rapid Support Forces yesterday … killed in cold blood everyone they found inside the Saudi hospital.”

This is Red on Red, both sides are Muslim.

André Pratte: Thirty years on from the ’95 referendum, we are now three solitudes

Had 27,145 voters checked YES instead of NO on Oct. 30, 1995, the government of Québec, led by Parti Québécois leader Jacques Parizeau, would have started on the road towards declaring Quebec an independent country. That’s how close we came from Canada breaking up after its relatively short history of 128 years. The source of Québécois dissatisfaction with the rest of the country was then what it always had been and is still today: the perception that most Canadians have little time for the province’s specific identity.

Ontario Police Chief Tells MPs Nearly All Crime Guns Come From US, Urges Focus on Border Over Buyback

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Commissioner has told MPs that Ottawa should crack down on illegal guns coming over the U.S. border instead of collecting guns from law-abiding citizens through its buyback program, saying 91 percent of guns used in crime come from the United States.

“We will exceed over 2,000 crime guns this year again—91 percent of them are coming in from the U.S.,” OPP Commissioner and Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police president Thomas Carrique told MPs at a House of Commons justice committee meeting on Oct. 28.

“These are the dangers. These are the strains and drains on our resources, and this is where we need to be spending our time and our attention.”

ICE Detains UK ‘Journalist’ Suspected of Muslim Brotherhood Connections

“The British journalist Sami Hamdi was reportedly detained on Sunday morning by federal immigration authorities at San Francisco international airport, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) says that action is apparent retaliation for the Muslim political commentator’s criticism of Israel while touring the US.”

NewsGuard Sent Us the Latest List of Our ‘Misinformation’. Here’s How We Replied

NewsGuard has been in touch again. The ‘fact checker’ founded by a Democrat activist and funded in part by Publicis Groupe, which represents leading pharmaceutical and healthcare companies including Pfizer, has sent the Daily Sceptic its annual interrogation over where its thought police have deemed that we have deviated from the approved narrative. From migrants eating wildlife to vaccines causing blood clots (though notably no climate objections this time – did we win that argument?), NewsGuard asks us to issue corrections to ensure the purity of the Official Narrative is left untarnished, even in the humble pages of the Daily Sceptic. Since NewsGuard’s completely impartial, not-at-all biased ratings are used by advertisers to blacklist companies and Microsoft to train its search engine, we thought we’d better reply, though with little hope of an improved rating given that when Toby bent over backwards to address NewsGuard’s points the first time we were contacted we saw our rating halved, as reported in the New York Post. Here’s what NewsGuard asks us this time, and our responses.

Calgary Tory MP places staff on ‘full election red alert’ for upcoming budget

Calgary Nose Hill Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner says her campaign team has been placed on “full election red alert,” warning that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government may be preparing to trigger another federal election this fall.

In a post on X, Rempel Garner accused the Liberals of attempting to force an early vote before Canadians fully grasp what she described as “the full impact of their exploding deficit and catastrophic failures on trade negotiations.”

The radical left and Islam – a marriage heading for the rocks

POLICIES undertaken out of spite or mischief seldom end well. The left’s obsession with changing Britain with massive unsustainable immigration is now reaching what technocrats like to call an inflection point, a smarty pants word from differential geometry which to the rest of us means change – for the left as much as anyone else.

Last Saturday in Whitechapel, east London, a proposed protest by Ukip was banned by the police; into its place sprang a big demonstration by masked and balaclava-wearing Islamists shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, ‘Zionist scum off our streets’, ‘From the river to the sea’, praise for the murderers in the ranks of Hamas and other pro-Palestine caterwauling. Alongside them were the far left in the form of Stand Up To Racism. There was some ill-tempered jostling between the apparent allies, some of which was caught on video and went viral online.

John Ivison: Watch for Carney to deliver a ‘draconian’ budget by stealth

The Carney government tried to inoculate itself against charges of austerity on Wednesday as François-Philippe Champagne promised “sustained funding” for gender equality programs.

But what the finance minister’s right hand giveth, his left hand is set to taketh away in next week’s budget.

As the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives identified in a new research paper, the “sacrifices” Carney referred to in his recent speech at the University of Ottawa will likely be made by stealth. Rather than announcing major cuts, the left-wing think tank warned that 32 of 84 departments could meet their government-ordered 15 per cent budget cuts by simply not renewing programs that are due to “sunset.” Another 20 departments could reduce their spending by five per cent by sunsetting.

Woman abducted by Afghan man and his three friends, beaten and used as a sex slave for a week and forced to have her tormentor’s name tattooed across her stomach

A young woman who was kidnapped and used as a sex slave by an Afghan man and his three friends was forced to her tormentor’s name tattooed across her stomach.

In 2023, the then 21-year-old was kidnapped, gagged and raped for several days by her ex-boyfriend, a 33-year-old Afghan man named locally as Jaser A.

Jaser reportedly met up with the victim on August 23 before holding a knife to her throat as his three friends emerged and ambushed her.

The Irresponsible Generation: The Islamization of Europe Dooms Our Children

Even if, as the European Right demands, the flow of Muslim immigration were to be completely halted today, the proportion of Muslims in Europe would continue to grow rapidly due to pure demographic logic, as years ago confirmed by Pew Research Center’s “Europe’s Growing Muslim Population”: they are younger, have much higher fertility rates than locals, and the vast majority consider abortion morally unacceptable, so the percentage of Islamic women who have abortions is minimal.

Beyond official statistics, anyone of my generation, or those aged 40 and older, has had the opportunity to witness the contrast in colors and cultures between the neighborhoods where we grew up—whether in Madrid or Berlin—and the image those same neighborhoods present today. Much has been written about the consequences of illegal immigration on security, the saturation of social services, and the loss of Europe’s Christian identity. However, the problem is less frequently approached from the perspective of generational responsibility.
