European Parliament to open Ottawa office as Carney seeks ‘unique alliance’ with EU

The European Parliament, a key institution of the European Union, is set to open an “antenna” office in Canada’s national capital as Prime Minister Mark Carney looks to deepen ties with the 27-member bloc.

“Europe and Canada share values, interests and a commitment to the same rules-based international order. Our new presence in Ottawa will turn that partnership into even closer parliamentary co-operation,” Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament, said in a news release on Monday.

Ottawa would be the 10th city where such an office is located, according to the news release, and the third in North America after New York and Washington.


I don’t want to share anything with the EU.

The Cult of Sterility: How Modern Culture Declared War on Human Fecundity

The Cult of Sterility: How Modern Culture Declared War on Human Fecundity

With steady regularity, news items appear in mainstream publications discussing male sterilisation or, in the conveniently obscure medical jargon, vasectomies. Although “discussing” is a stretch: despite the obligatory caveats about pain and permanence, the tone is uniformly affirmative. In July of this year, an article on BBC News ran under the headline: ‘Why I don’t regret choosing a vasectomy in my 20s.’ In May, a Guardian headline read: ‘My first thought after having a vasectomy: why aren’t more men having them?’ The Independent topped them both: ‘Why getting a vasectomy has made me feel more of a man.’ Critical commentary, to the extent that it can be found, is tucked away in harmless Christian corners of the internet.

Canadian province’s experiment decriminalizing cocaine and fentanyl sensationally FAILS as overdose deaths stay the same

Canadian province’s experiment decriminalizing cocaine and fentanyl sensationally FAILS as overdose deaths stay the same

A Canadian province’s experiment decriminalizing fentanyl in an effort to drive down overdose fatalities has failed, with the death toll unchanged by the pilot scheme.

Politicians in British Columbia (BC) believed that legalizing the synthetic opioid, along with other hard drugs including heroin, methamphetamine and crack cocaine, would be a ‘critical step’ towards allowing users to seek help without fear of being detained.

Under the program, which launched January 2023, people found carrying drugs below the 2.5-gram threshold would be guided by police to social support services instead of being arrested or charged.

Former CTV journalist accuses Canadian media of pushing government COVID propaganda

Former CTV journalist accuses Canadian media of pushing government COVID propaganda

CALGARY — A former CTV foreign correspondent has accused Canada’s largest media organizations of acting as government propagandists during the COVID-19 pandemic and suppressing criticism of vaccine mandates.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Rodney Palmer told a public hearing that media organizations dependent on federal subsidies or government-issued broadcast licences helped silence dissent by dismissing critics as anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and sources of misinformation.

Canadians are ‘overwhelmingly open’ to closer EU ties

Support for Canada deepening its relationship with Europe is growing, a new poll has found, as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to travel to Strasbourg, France, to strengthen ties with the European Union.

An Abacus Data survey, which was conducted from September 4 to 9, found that 80 per cent of Canadians say Canada should deepen strategic cooperation with the European Union on foreign policy, defence, and economic priorities — up six points since February.

Four Women’s Colleges Are Fleecing Federal Programs By Admitting ‘Trans’ Men

Four Women’s Colleges Are Fleecing Federal Programs By Admitting ‘Trans’ Men

Four historic women’s colleges allow men who claim to be women to be admitted into their schools, making “substantial misrepresentation[s]” to the public about their programs while taking federal taxpayer funds and violating Title IX, according to four complaints filed with the Department of Education.

The complaints filed by the Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI), obtained by The Federalist, detail to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) how the schools — Agnes Scott College, Bryn Mawr College, Stephens College, and Wesleyan College — each allow any male who claims to be a woman to attend, while still maintaining their status as a women’s only college.

Black aggression on the road

Anecdotal evidence is still evidence—which is then almost always backed up by the data.

This morning while driving my son to school, I was behind someone who was driving like a total a-hole. He/she was speeding through the school zones (there’s three schools all on the same half-mile stretch of road), and he/she was absolutely riding the person in front. I made an educated guess, and predicted the driver was… black. And it turned out I was right: the driver was a black woman, and there were a couple of kids jumping around in the backseat, none of them buckled up.

“Xi’s Team Came to Her”: FBI Affidavit Says Chinese Businesswoman Gathered Intelligence From U.S. Government Contacts

DETROIT — In April of this year, a Chinese businesswoman sent a message to an elderly American she had been meeting in Washington. “Xi’s team just came to [her],” she wrote, and went on to list what they had come about: procurement, rare earth metals, United States Treasury bonds, trade mechanisms, and tariff exemption for billions of dollars in non-sensitive goods.

Animal Rights Activists Defend Muslim Migrants Killing Animals

Animal Rights Activists Defend Muslim Migrants Killing Animals

After horrifying images of Muslim migrants who had invaded the Spanish North African territory of Ceuta killing a baby dolphin went viral, animal rights activists rallied to their defense.

“The party rejects the instrumentalization of the suffering of a people or of its animals to foment hatred,” Spain’s Partido Animalista (PACMA) party declared. The party whose former name was the ‘Animalist Party Against the Mistreatment of Animals’, was willing to defend animal abusers as long as it advanced the greater cause of Muslim migrants invading Europe.

Britain’s two-tier burqa ban

Britain’s two-tier burqa ban

True to their word, Hampshire Police have wasted no time in cracking down on ‘masked’ protesters. In Portsmouth last weekend, a self-proclaimed ‘gender-fluid Muslim convert’ wearing a burqa was detained, arrested and charged for allegedly refusing to reveal his (or her, or their) identity at an anti-immigration rally. The individual is due to appear at the Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court today.

Adam Pankratz: Mark Carney’s elitist quest to turn us into Europeans

Adam Pankratz: Mark Carney’s elitist quest to turn us into Europeans

This weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing for associate membership with the European Union in an effort to diversify Canada away from the United States. Though, on Sunday evening Carney downplayed the story, and said he is seeking a “unique alliance” with the EU. It’s a convenient dodge in any case as both terms are undefined in any legal sense and Canadians deserve to know what the Prime Minister is actually up to.
