One of the heavily armed Canadian Armed Forces members now charged with terrorism allegedly spoke openly about his will to use violence against government authorities and warned about another Waco massacre, according to recently unsealed court documents.
Last month the RCMP charged four Quebec men, all with military ties, for allegedly planning an ideologically motivated violent plot “intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area.”
Is this any more extreme than the “Land Back” crowd?
‘Land Back’ is more than a slogan for a resurgent Indigenous movement
Here, a woman illuminates why a person such as herself would sever ties with anyone who voted for Trump.

What I am about to share with you is some of the clearest evidence yet that the middle class in America is being systematically destroyed. Young adults are forming middle class households at an extremely depressed rate, and that is because the American Dream is simply out of reach for most of them in this very harsh economic environment. If you can’t get a good job that pays an adequate wage, you aren’t going to be able to live a middle class lifestyle. Sadly, many older Americans simply do not understand how difficult things have become for our young adults in this day and age.

Ever since Portugal enacted drug decriminalization in 2001, reformers have argued that North America should follow suit. The Portuguese saw precipitous declines in overdoses and blood-borne infections, they argued, so why not adopt their approach?
But when Oregon and British Columbia decriminalized drugs in the early 2020s, the results were so catastrophic that both jurisdictions quickly reversed course. Why? The reason is simple: American and Canadian policymakers failed to grasp what led to the Portuguese model’s initial success.
Across age and party lines, most Canadians think immigrants should embrace local norms
New polling from Research Co shows how Canadians currently feel about immigration, with many saying immigration levels should be reduced and even more saying immigrants should have to adopt Canadian values to live here.
Overall, Canadians are divided on whether immigration has a mostly positive or mostly negative effect on the country. Forty-three percent say it is positive, while 39 percent say it is negative.
In an official report dated July 2025, “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate,” the U.S. Department of Energy acknowledged a warming trend since the onset of the industrial era. The government conceded that human activity may have contributed to greenhouse gas pollution, yet stresses that, given the scale of natural variations, such attribution remains difficult. The report concluded that the only rational response is adaptation — an approach that presupposes technological progress and the creation of wealth.
A 17-year-old male facing terrorism charges appeared in youth court Thursday, less than 24 hours after being arrested by 40 RCMP officers at his home in Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
He was flanked by three agents and held behind a barricade inside the courtroom at the Chambre de la jeunesse. He didn’t respond when spoken to and appeared aloof.

Aircraft arriving at one of Europe’s busiest airports are being diverted because of the glare from a nearby solar farm.
Pilots on approach to Schipol, Europe’s fourth biggest airport behind Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Istanbul, have warned of dazzling reflections from 228,000 solar panels installed under runway approach paths.
The problem has meant that the Zwanenburgbaan and Polderbaan runways must be closed during sunny periods, leading to congestion and delays at the airport and extra noise for locals.
If you need proof that the Liberal government doesn’t have a clue how to deal with the Trump administration, just look at this contract. Signed just over a week after Mark Carney became Liberal leader and days after he was sworn in as prime minister, it’s a complete waste of money.
Scandalous pregnancy-faker Laura Owens isn’t the only Owens in her family with immeasurable levels of audacity.
Ronn Owens, a famous former talk radio host in San Francisco on KGO and father of Laura Owens, has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, listing over $2.3 million in debts. Meanwhile, he and his spouse, journalist Jan Black, pull in $21,000 per month in pensions and Social Security. Somehow, the Owens family ran up more than $300,000 in debt this year alone and then opened a GoFundMe that pulled in over $130,000 from fans — many likely living on fixed incomes as Owens’ fans are mostly senior citizens.

Socialist ballot-stuffing? Radicals taking control by any means necessary? Minnesota Democrats running an incompetent election? Whoda thunk it?
Update…

The Disney Grooming Syndicate’s open and seething hostility towards men and boys reaches back more than a decade. Franchise after franchise has been retooled, deconstructed, and woke-raped to tell young men they are a disease and to deliver sweet feelzzz to women and the LGBTQ crowd. And as we have seen at the box office, that approach has blown up in the groomer’s bigoted, smug, self-satisfied fat face.
