Digital ID: we must resist this technocratic tyranny

So digital ID, the tyrannical policy that just won’t flush, has bobbed up into the Armitage Shanks bowl that is Keir Starmer’s Labour government. Out of ideas and with all the authority of an embattled supply teacher, the prime minister is falling back – yet again – on Continuity Blairism, on the great unfinished business of New Labour. Somewhere, in a lair under a dormant volcano, Tony Blair is stroking a cat and cackling incessantly.


At the press of a key you’re de-personed.

I believe we are much further along the road to dystopia than we realize.

A gulag is being built silently piece by piece.

Canadian musician says broadcast rules forced redaction of lyrics on dissent and policing

Changes to Canadian broadcasting rules have raised concerns among musicians and free-expression advocates, as artists report being unable to advertise their work unless certain lyrics are altered or removed.

On a recent episode of Liberty Talk with Odessa Orlewicz, Canadian musician Jayme Knyx said he was told that his songs could not be promoted with original lyrics that referenced political dissent and social issues. One example came from his track Freedom’s Call, which originally included the line “The chains of power silence our voice.”

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis warns Liberals’ ‘hate’ bill will allow for prosecution of free speech

Canadian Conservative Party MP Leslyn Lewis blasted a new Liberal “hate crime” bill, calling it a “dangerous” piece of legislation that she says will open the door for authorities to possibly prosecute Canadians’ speech deemed “hateful.”

In an X post on Tuesday, Lewis slammed the Liberal government’s Bill C-9, or the Combating Hate Act, in a scathing post.

Lewis observed that the bill, as written, “expands state power to prosecute speech under unclear rules and with fewer checks on government abuse.”

Carney tells Starmer: cut taxes to avoid extremism

Mark Carney has urged Sir Keir Starmer to slash taxes on Britain’s middle class to stop them lurching to extreme politics such as communism.

The Canadian prime minister told his British counterpart that easing the burden on Middle England and reducing the cost of living was critical to winning back public support for Left-leaning political parties.

Mr Carney, a former governor of the Bank of England, warned that the UK was suffering a prolonged economic malaise similar to challenges which prompted the emergence of communism in the 1800s.


He seems perfectly happy to ignore his own advice in Canada.

Is Nato really ready to shoot down Russian jets?

Until recently, when Russian drones strayed into Nato airspace during mass attacks on Ukraine, fighter jets would scramble, not to shoot them down, but to watch. The allies tracked the drones as they flew across the Nato border, either jammed off course or deliberately redirected to confuse Ukrainian air defences. In both cases, if the drones didn’t crash into a field somewhere in Romania or Poland, they always made it back to bomb Ukrainians, under the close watch of Nato’s best pilots on fully loaded warplanes.

Photo radar does not belong in a free society

Years ago I received a letter informing me that, some months before, I had run a red light, and would have to pay a fine. It included a series of pictures of the rear of my car, captured by photo radar.

There must be some mistake, I thought. I’ve never run a red light in my life. Sure enough, closer inspection of the images revealed that I had in fact turned right on a red, a perfectly legal act. I took the letter to the address indicated for inquiries. The lady behind the desk glanced at it, and said: “Yeah, you didn’t wait the required three seconds before turning.”

Noah Schwartz: Liberals’ botched gun buyback program may create a dangerous ‘grey market’

It was obvious to anyone familiar with the data that the government’s ban on assault-style weapons was never going to make Canada safer. The poor implementation of the policy now means that it will likely end up making Canada more dangerous.

The government’s justification for the ban was weak from the beginning. When former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first announced the prohibition by Order-in-Council in the aftermath of the Nova Scotia massacre, significant problems were already clear. The government could not define what they wanted to ban. Instead, they created a laundry list of infamous guns with equivalent firearms left out.

The New Jim Crow in Dearborn

Dearborn, Michigan — Dearborn is not the place to live if you want to criticize government actions without being called an “Islamophobe.” Americans who expect politicians to distance themselves from people who say nice things about terrorist organizations that have killed U.S. citizens in the Middle East should also stay out of the city.
