A man has said he was attacked with a firebomb while putting up St George’s cross flags. The man said he was hit in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, as he and his pals were attaching flags to lampposts in the town just after midnight on Saturday (August 23).
Video posted on social media from an account named Thyme to Crusade shows something burning on the road close to the back tyres of a stationary car. The person behind the camera can be heard saying: “Putting flags up, got petrol bombed”.
… The prime minister is meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the two leaders discussed details of Canada’s additional $2 billion commitment of military aid as well as opportunities for joint production of defence equipment.
In his speech, Carney said more than $1 billion will be used to finance ammunition, as well as advance drone and armoured vehicle production from Canadian suppliers.
No wonder Carney stopped by …
WATCH THIS CLIP. Trump thanks every leader at the table — by name. Every. Single. One.
The only leader who didn’t get a seat or even a PHONE CALL?

Canada sent nearly $20B to Ukraine. We got ZERO INVITE. ZERO INFLUENCE.

Is there financial corruption in the Ukraine under Zelensky?
Financial corruption in Ukraine under President Volodymyr Zelensky remains a significant issue, as it has been for decades, rooted in the country’s post-Soviet transition and oligarchic influence. Evidence from various sources indicates persistent challenges despite Zelensky’s pledges to combat graft.
Update: Carney not ruling out Canadian troops on ground in Ukraine

American good Samaritan stabbed by Syrian immigrant in Germany after stepping in to stop harassment
An American has been stabbed by a Syrian national in Germany after allegedly stepping in to help two female passengers being harassed on a tram, according to reports.
The young man was attacked at around 12:25 a.m. on Sunday after intervening when “two men from a group harassed female passengers” on the tram in the eastern German city of Dresden, police spokesman Luka Reumund told Bild.
Pictures from the scene show blood spattered over the tram. The unidentified American was rushed to the hospital where his condition is unknown.

From August 15 to 19, 2025, Abacus Data surveyed 1,915 Canadian adults on the state of federal politics. The poll captures public opinion just as Air Canada flight attendants initiated strike action but it’s important to note that many of the interviews were completed prior to that event, and thus this wave does not fully reflect its impact. The same is true for Pierre Poilievre’s byelection victory on Monday.

Ten years ago Germans were putting balloons on lampposts to greet a multitude of foreigners. The popular tabloid, Bild, screamed the headline ‘Refugees Welcome’ as a million or more migrants began to flow over the border.
Warehouses in Berlin were stacked high with donated clothes, food parcels and toys for the new arrivals. Camp beds to house the guests filled sports halls, while housewives, business owners, students and social workers volunteered to help in a nation still compensating for its Nazi past.
On August 25, 2015, Germany’s immigration ministry announced that Syrians fleeing civil war would be waved in with few checks or questions. Then came the moment that changed Europe for ever.

How Mark Carney could fix Canada, in two sentences… “Give up the net-zero scams. Give up the ESG and DEI programs — they’re luxury beliefs that don’t mix with manufacturing.”
Thus Andrew Hale, tonight’s guest on The Hannaford Show. Hale is a senior trade-policy analyst at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation. And while he speaks for a conservatively inclined organization, plenty of Canadian Liberals would tell Carney the same thing.
FPÖ: Asylum seekers are bringing violence and crime with them.
Austria witnessed a record surge in knife-related crime in 2024, with official statistics revealing the highest number of incidents in at least a decade.
According to figures, there were 2,596 reported cases of stabbings or knife threats across the country last year, marking a sharp rise from previous years and fuelling concerns about public safety.
The Austrian capital has emerged as the centre of the crisis. Social democrat-controlled Vienna alone accounted for 1,121 of the incidents, making it by far the most dangerous region for knife attacks.

One thing is for sure: with Pierre Poilievre officially back in the political ring, things in Ottawa aren’t likely to be boring.
But which Poilievre will we see?
On the one hand, it’s possible that, after experiencing his first electoral defeat in April following seven consecutive victories, we might see a more introspective politician and man — one who doesn’t take anything, and least of all voters from across the spectrum, for granted.
