OTTAWA — On July 23, someone reached into the controls of the drinking-water plant in Saint-Noël, a village of fewer than four hundred people in Quebec’s Bas-Saint-Laurent, and began raising the chlorine. The alarms that should have sounded had been switched off. The plant went into a protective shutdown on its own, and the water stayed clean.
The headlines are standard: “Women in pink rally in support of Lindsay Clancy who is on trial for killing 3 children,’” “America’s saddest murder trial: mental health in focus in Lindsay Clancy case,” “Lindsay Clancy’s trial shows how badly the system fails mothers,” and “Everyone Failed Lindsay Clancy.”
The headlines look away from the actual victims in the case: the three helpless children who were strangled to death in early 2023. All the sympathetic emphasis is on their mother, portrayed as a tragic figure allegedly “failed” by others and not morally responsible for her horrific act.
The British state’s decision to disperse asylum seekers to the poorest parts of the country has long been causing serious problems. Mainly accommodated in so-called migrant hotels and increasingly houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), asylum seekers’ presence has been the source of many issues, from rises in anti-social behaviour to pressure on already stretched public services. It has also fuelled higher rents as landlords remove family homes from the market to create bedsits.
MONTREAL — In early June, Projet Montréal filed a motion calling on the city to suspend institutional ties with Israel and refer to it as an “apartheid state” and a committer of “genocide.” On Monday night, sanity prevailed. The motion passed, but as a watered-down version with those features removed. Pro-Palestinian protesters outside were less than pleased and directed their aggression at those leaving the building, myself included.
Welcome to Holiday Camp UK. For the 800 guests enjoying the luxury sports facilities, this place is unbeatable.
As I saw for myself this week on a visit to the camp in Wethersfield, deep in the Essex countryside, residents want for practically nothing. There’s a fully equipped gymnasium, a fitness room, a full-sized football pitch and a substantial indoor sports hall with all the equipment for five-a-side soccer, basketball and cricket – all free.
For those who want to kick back and take it easy, there are recreation rooms with televisions and pool tables, and a snack bar.
The dispute between Canada and the United States (US) is usually described as another argument over tariffs. Steel, aluminum, automobiles, and agriculture dominate the headlines, but those are the visible symptoms of a much larger disagreement.
Washington is trying to build a protected North American economic and security bloc capable of competing with China. Mark Carney is trying to reduce Canada’s dependence on the US by expanding trade with China, Europe, and other markets. Those strategies are now colliding, and Canada cannot pretend indefinitely that it can pursue both.
The title of this article may immediately invite accusations of racism. Since nothing could be further from the truth, in my case, than such an accusation, let me begin with a crucial distinction, which I shall then explain: that between racial realism and what I will call ethnic memory. This distinction can help clarify a number of political disputes. Leftists will argue, for instance, that the United States and even European countries have always been multicultural. There is some truth to this in the American case, but ‘multicultural’ meant something different in the late 18th century than it does today. In those times, ‘multicultural’—the physical reality, not the later term—might mean Englishmen and Frenchmen, rather than Englishmen and Pakistanis, living side by side and creating a new nation. So one must be precise in one’s use of terms.
Brabim Karki’s piece here at The American Spectator on Monday about the breakoff in trade talks between the U.S. and Canada is a must-read, though it’s a little incomplete (and this column is an attempt to fill in a gap). Karki notes, and quite accurately so…
Cambridge University’s education faculty – former home of Jason Arday – has appointed as assistant research professor a woman who wrote that Muslims should study engineering and computers ‘to produce advanced weaponry for Jihad in order that the deen [Islam] may dominate over all other deens.’
This is the fourth in our series of articles about Farah Ahmed, a former activist in the racist, extremist and separatist group Hizb ut Tahrir, now banned as a terror organisation, who has been given a senior role by Cambridge training the future leaders of the teaching profession.
… The White House has released an official and scathing press release outlining the lengthy and long-term issues with Canada and trade disputes.

There are many people in Canada demanding to see the rough draft proposals of the U.S-Canada trade agreement so they can judge for themselves the issues that Carney claimed were irreconcilable. For those people this interview today by Canadian Trade… pic.twitter.com/lGtJLi6jdf

OTTAWA — Canadian universities have participated in Qatar-backed research projects in scientific fields Canada classifies as sensitive, and coordinated campaigns sought to make causes including Gaza a decisive issue in the 2025 federal election, while broader Muslim voter-mobilization efforts target up to 80 ridings, according to a new report alleging that Canadian institutions have become unusually susceptible to Islamist influence.
I don’t blame them. I blame our political class.
Each year, the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) elects new co-chairs, who also serve on the organization’s National Political Committee. During the first weekend of August, as the DSA held its Socialists Summit, YDSA delegates gathered for their National Convention, where they adopted new resolutions, elected a new National Political Committee, and chose James Hernández and Mae Bracelin as the organization’s new co-chairs.
