Federal agents use teargas and pepper balls to break up Chicago Ice protest

Federal law enforcement agents used teargas and pepper balls to disperse a group of about 100 protesters, including two Democratic candidates for Congress, during a series of early morning clashes outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) building in Chicago on Friday.

Demonstrators had attempted to block a number of government SUVs from entering and exiting the facility, which has become an operating hub and detention location during an immigration crackdown in the Democratic city dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz”.

Kerry Sun: Carney invites the Supreme Court to rewrite the Constitution — at democracy’s peril

Legal manoeuvres in the Supreme Court of Canada may soon land the country in another constitutional crisis. Earlier this week, the Carney government, through Attorney General Sean Fraser, filed an intervention in the upcoming appeal on Quebec’s secularism legislation (Bill 21) at the Supreme Court.

Crucially, however, the federal government is not contesting the secularism law itself. Instead, it is urging the judges to impose novel restrictions on the use of the notwithstanding clause, which permits legislatures to shield laws from judicial review for a renewable period of five years. This legal argument, if accepted, would undo a key component of Canada’s constitutional settlement and further subordinate parliamentary government to adventurous exercises of judicial power.

Canadians are leaving emergency rooms untreated in droves

Canada is facing an epidemic that most politicians simply won’t talk about – a staggering number of patients are left untreated because they leave emergency rooms rather than endure long wait times.

A new study from the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI) shows that, out of the 16.3 million visits Canadians made to emergency rooms in 2024, nearly 8% ended with the patient simply walking out without receiving treatment.

NPR: We Don’t Know If Tyler Robinson Was Left-Wing

Tyler Robinson was Antifa, into alphabet ideology, had a furry boyfriend, and hated Charlie Kirk. He inscribed Antifa messages on his bullets and all his friends and family said he had veered far left over the past few years.

But National Public Radio can’t detect a political motive for his assassination of Charlie Kirk because we don’t know what he thought about labor issues and immigration policy.

The Dangerous Celebration of Luigi Mangione

It’s his admirers’ adulation, not the court’s decision to toss first-degree murder charges, that should concern us most.

Luigi Mangione appeared to get off easy on Tuesday. The judge overseeing his New York State prosecution tossed first-degree murder charges against Mangione, who stands accused of shooting health-care executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Outside, scores of adoring onlookers cheered for the apparent murderer.

Is Mark Carney ditching progressive politics or saving it?

It’s become popular in Mark Carney’s new Liberal government to talk in sports metaphors. The prime minister often sprinkles his speeches with hockey references and the timing of the next major-project announcements has been repeatedly framed around forthcoming tournaments, such as the Grey Cup.

There aren’t many sports, though, in which backward movement is equated with success — perhaps the reverse-running trend that was supposedly catching on a few years ago? So there isn’t a handy way to compare what’s happening in progressive politics in Canada to something in the sporting world.

But there’s no question — in fact, a column in this very newspaper declared it’s already a cliche to say it — that a backsliding in progressivism is under way in the federal post-election world in Canada.


It’s called policy for profit and it’s spelled ‘Brookfield’.

Syria: Al-Sharaa’s Campaign of Extermination against Druze, Minorities

On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners, flew them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, murdering approximately 3,000 people and wounding thousands of others.

In 2012, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — the leader of ISIS — tasked Ahmed al-Sharaa (aka Abu Mohammad al-Julani) with forming a contingent of al-Qaeda in Syria. Sharaa then set up this al-Qaeda branch, naming it the Nusrah Front (Jabhat al-Nusra), and put into action taxing civilians, looting factories, and kidnapping civilians for hefty ransoms. At one point, the Nusrah Front was helping support the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq. In 2013, Sharaa declared the organization’s allegiance to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and expressed their “pride in the banner of the Islamic State in Iraq.”

MANDEL: ‘Like watching a bad accident in slow motion,’ says grieving family of justice system

Abilaziz Mohamed, murderer, likely Liberal Government cabinet member

This is not justice for a grieving family.

Craig MacDonald’s relatives burst into tears as his killer was sentenced to just nine years in prison — and with credit for pre-sentence custody, Abilaziz Mohamed has only 3.9 years left to serve.

STUDY: Kimmel’s Demise Began Before Infamous Comments

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was his own fault. The ABC late night host’s mean-spirited commentary disguised as comedy drove conservatives away. Kimmel was completely unconcerned with this development, but his desire to turn his show into a liberal echo chamber might prove to be his downfall because when he claimed that conservatives were desperately trying to “characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” ABC felt they had no choice but to take him off the air.

Draft Bill Would Authorize Trump to Kill People He Deems Narco-Terrorists

Draft legislation is circulating at the White House and on Capitol Hill that would hand President Trump sweeping power to wage war against drug cartels he deems to be “terrorists,” as well as against any nation he says has harbored or aided them, according to people familiar with the matter.

A wide range of legal specialists have said that U.S. military attacks this month on two boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea were illegal. But Mr. Trump has claimed that the Constitution gave him the power he needed to authorize them.

6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again

Canadians are not feeling the trust with their neighbours south of the border after months of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada, new polling by Ipsos conducted exclusively for Global News has showed.

Six in 10 Canadians (60 per cent) say they can never trust the Americans the same way ever again, the poll found.

“It looks to me, based on these data, that Canadians feel that their relationship with the United States has changed in a fundamental way,” Ipsos Public Affairs CEO Darrell Bricker said.


Our MSM has been busy with the US versus Trump narrative today.

Carney must have some awfully putrid news he’s hoping to perfume.

Nearly 100 House Dems Refuse to Support Resolution Condemning Political Violence

The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday condemning political violence and honoring Charlie Kirk, but nearly a hundred Democrats refused to support it. The final tally was 310-58, with every Republican voting in favor and 96 Democrats either voting against it or refusing to take a stand at all by voting present. That raw number is impossible to ignore: Close to 100 Democrats balked at denouncing political violence when the resolution also praised Kirk’s legacy.
