Portuguese President António José Seguro has officially signed into law a bill banning face-concealing attire in public spaces, with the move seen targeting the full-face Islamic veils like the burqa and niqab.
Addressing the national debate, President Seguro framed the decision around human interaction, stating: “The face should be considered a central element of human identity and communication.”
Midnight came and Canada got the bill it earned.
After weeks of talks and a last-minute scramble that looked promising even to President Trump, the 50 percent tariffs on roughly $20 billion of Canadian goods took effect early Saturday. Wine. Hockey sticks. Cement. Plywood. Liquor. The list is long. Energy and critical minerals are exempted. Everything else that Canada has been shipping south while playing games with American producers is now more expensive by half.

It’s hard for publications to lose these cases. The bar for proving malice is sky-high. And if you’re a public figure, forget about it. Well, for the first time in over 50 years, The New York Times will have to fork over potentially millions of dollars over a 2023 piece about a shooting involving basketball players from the University of Alabama that left a 23-year-old woman dead. Of course, the Times, bloated by ego, stood by its reporting. They were wrong, issuing an editor’s note. The piece details the whole saga, including the reporter’s error and the behind-the-scenes moves to verify the information. The thing is, the victim, Kai Spears, wasn’t near the shooting and wasn’t involved. One thing that seems lost in the piece is a) the ever-degrading value of anonymous sources and b) that they ran with this based on one source.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said he walked away from a “bad deal” with the United States and that Canada is now “at war” after being “attacked” by steep tariffs on $29 billion worth of Canadian goods going south of the border.
“We were attacked. You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked,” Carney told reporters gather in the West Block foyer on Parliament Hill.
The problem is we’ll be the collateral damage for General Carney’s folly.

War, Clausewitz , is the continuation of politics by violent means. But violence is only one tool in a nation’s war arsenal. Other tools include economics, cyber warfare, diplomacy, information warfare (what used to be called propaganda, psychological warfare, and disinformation), espionage, counterintelligence, and subversion. Americans are an impatient people, but impatience in war can lead to the loss of political and popular support — which is essential for democracies to achieve victory.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a 42-year-old Montreal man facing five charges after a Canada Border Services Agency investigation alleged he helped dozens of people obtain visas through fraud and facilitated their entry into Canada.
The CBSA said Friday that proceedings against Abul Kasim were initiated at the Montreal courthouse on July 28.
The Russian word pravda is often translated as ‘truth’, but it can also mean ‘justice’. The proto-Slavic prav had that latter meaning, pravo refers to a legal right, and the first law code in Kievan Rus’ was called the Russkaya Pravda. Over time the word has come to mean ‘truth’, but with strong connotations of ‘moral or spiritual truth’, or a just way to order human relations. Sometimes it is translated into English as ‘social justice’, whereas istina is the term for objective truth. In other Slavic languages, such as Serbo-Croatian, pravda has retained its meaning of ‘justice’ or ‘fairness’.
In the end, Canada and the United States didn’t get a trade deal. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter.
Yes, a deal would have prevented further economic woes imposed on Canada in the short run. But what matters is that the Carney government didn’t give in to the Trump administration’s economic coercion.
Our right to suffer the Laurentian Elite’s economic coercion has been preserved!
The main focus in confronting Iran’s regime and its sponsorship of terrorism has shifted toward economic sanctions and a naval blockade of Iranian ports. This pressure, driving oil exports to multi-year lows and squeezing the regime’s primary source of hard currency, constrains the resources available for ballistic missiles, proxies, and internal repression. Yet it is a dangerous delusion to believe that sanctions and blockade by themselves will change the regime’s fundamentalist and Islamist ideology or force a fundamental shift in its behavior.
The Iranian regime’s only objective is to stay in power beyond the Trump Administration.
A 22-year-old man is facing charges in connection with a string of sexual assaults that happened in Markham within a week.
York Regional Police said all four incidents involved the same suspect, who was riding a bicycle in the area of Edward Jeffreys Avenue, between Markham Road and Roy Rainey Avenue. Each incident occurred in the evenings.

A Dunkin’ employee was filmed washing his feet at a kitchen sink at the chain’s location aboard a Staten Island Ferry — prompting a city Health Department investigation, The Post has learned.
An eyewitness spotted the employee lifting his tootsies and using sink water to wash his feet behind the counter and immediately began filming the stomach-churning scene, calling it “disgusting.”

OTTAWA – The United States is imposing a 50 per cent tariff on a range of Canadian exports starting Saturday, after the two countries could not reach a new deal before a deadline imposed by President Donald Trump.
Trump threatened the new tariffs in July to pressure Canada to move on a number of issues that were flagged as irritants to the U.S., including provincial bans on alcohol imports, tariffs on some American made auto exports and quotas on tariff-free U.S. dairy exports.

It was only a few years ago when the climate change alarms and green energy fad were all the rage at the White House and corporate board rooms. Former President Joe Biden’s policies were all tilted to ending fossil fuels, and many of America’s biggest corporations embraced the concept of net-zero fossil fuels. This was the movement during the Biden years to eliminate virtually ALL oil, natural gas and coal production, and replace these energy sources with windmills, solar panels and electric vehicles.
