Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise to lead Canada out of the economic and foreign policy shadow of the United States, and his bizarre Davos plan to lead a Thucydidean “middle power” revolt against Washington, has accomplished virtually nothing. Highly publicized overtures to China and western Europe are inconsequential. The United States still buys 68 per cent of our exports and provides 56 per cent of our imports.
WHAT difference did we make? Well, we didn’t dent policy. All the destructive postmodernist and neo-Marxist thinking – campus-driven leftism, feminism, transgenderism, scientism, critical race theory, decolonisation and now Islamism – has dug ever deeper into the fabric of society. We didn’t stop this politically driven seepage but we did, I hope, create an unfettered platform for considered dissent. Importantly, we dared to dissent in an era of political correctness and in a culture of complaint.
Such a good site.
As of around a decade ago, all Islamic terrorism in Europe was reclassified as mental illness. There’s been a lot of mental illness incidents lately, but that’s probably just due to stress, overwork and some black book we’re not allowed to mention.
SURREY — The federal government’s public position on India’s alleged role in transnational repression and violent criminal activity in Canada has undergone a dramatic shift over the past two years and no one seems to know, or is unable to say, why.
Senior federal Canadian policing officials now say they no longer believe the Indian government is linked to ongoing acts of violence on Canadian soil despite earlier statements to the contrary.
Smiling for the camera, this is the man suspected of killing Ann Widdecombe.
Pictured here for the first time, Joshua Kerry is accused of targeting the 78-year-old former Tory minister in her Devon home in a suspected terrorist attack.
The 28-year-old has lived alone in a council house in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, since the death of his father last year.
A rear-view glance to this month’s NATO summit should prompt a look to the future, asking how Canada plans to achieve its commitment to spend 5 per cent of GDP on defence by 2035. For Canada to meet the NATO pledge, it will have to make difficult choices on taxes, spending and borrowing. Making these choices requires a credible fiscal plan – and it needs to come in the fall budget.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pledged closer cooperation with Germany to combat violent left-wing extremist networks, citing the January sabotage of Berlin’s electricity grid as an example of the growing international threat.
Speaking at a meeting with representatives from several countries, Rubio referred to the attack on Berlin’s power infrastructure and said the next international gathering on the issue would be held “with partners in Germany.” He argued that the incident demonstrated the need for greater intelligence sharing and coordinated action against violent left-wing extremist groups.
A jury in Simcoe will decide whether Toronto police officers were negligent when they shot and killed Norfolk County gunsmith Rodger Kotanko at his workshop west of Port Dover in 2021.
Officers from the Toronto Police Service’s guns and gangs task force came to Norfolk with a search warrant after two guns reportedly registered to the veteran gunsmith’s business were seized in criminal investigations.
In the wake of Kotanko’s death, his family sued Toronto police for $23 million, alleging “reckless” decision-making and poor planning needlessly put the 70-year-old in harm’s way.

Volodymyr Zelensky must have felt a peculiar sense of déjà vu as thousands of Ukrainians chanted ‘Shame!’ beneath the windows of his office in central Kyiv yesterday. Exactly one year ago, they gathered to protest Zelensky’s attempt to strip Ukraine’s two key anti-corruption institutions of their independence, forcing him to back down. This time, Ukrainians rallied against their President’s decision to fire Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, holding cardboard signs demanding that he be reinstated.

Faced with a moribund economy and a more uncertain future, the federal government says Canada will exploit its abundant resource endowment to become a global energy superpower. Ottawa paved the path this week for oil producers to double production with a big pipeline announcement. Billions in government money is on the table.
If that’s the plan to revive the economy, it won’t work. We know this because that’s the strategy which the country has used over the last generation, and it has failed to deliver growth.

The two women who drifted into a small Ohio town reminded Adrienne Behrman of her younger self. They were fleeing a toxic living situation in Maryland, they said, when their car broke down and left them stranded in a motel.
The story was a bit vague. But Behrman, 49, had twice been homeless, overcome addiction and knew how hard it could be to share details. She took the women into her home despite friends’ warnings.

Ron Wyden wants the Trump administration to treat one of America’s allies as a counterintelligence threat.
The Oregon senator wrote to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is doubling as acting national security adviser, on July 16.
His warning centers on an invasive surveillance bill moving through Canada’s Parliament that could turn American technology companies into tools for spying on Americans.
Acclaimed British filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight, Oppenheimer) newest film, The Odyssey, opens this week in the United States.
But controversy has already surrounded Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s 2,700-year-old epic poem about Odysseus’s 10-year struggle to return home after the Achaian victory in the decade-long Trojan War.
Some of the film’s actresses have suggested that Nolan is offering a more feminist—and long-overdue—take on the ancient poem. Actress Lupita Nyong’o, in particular, has criticized Homer’s purported sexism.
