WTF?

What We Have Forgotten About 9/11
Twenty-five years after 9/11, the Islamist war against the liberal, democratic West still shapes our daily lives. Most Americans recognize that certain people and groups around the world want to destroy us—sometimes for reasons we can comprehend, sometimes not. Remembering 9/11 stands, in part, for the proposition that we will not allow the terrorists to win. Our laws, at least as written, have codified that remembrance. They reflect our national conclusion that foreign terrorist organizations are among the most depraved criminal enterprises imaginable. It was once commonplace to hear President George W. Bush declare that you were either part of the free world or aligned with the terrorists. Yet 25 years later, that ultimatum seems far less self-evident.
WTF?

Near the Border, Americans Fear Losing Ties With Canadians
As Canada imposes retaliatory tariffs on the United States, Americans near the border say the trade war is deepening divisions between the two countries and hope the split does not turn into a more lasting breakup.
Costs for American businesses are up. Border crossings are down as Canadians choose to spend their money at home. And many Canadians are downright outraged over the actions of President Trump.
The trade war has threatened not only business but, sometimes, the very personal bonds that define America’s northern border.
German politicians are melting down
This weekend I learned two things about Germany.
The first is Hitler did not invent the autobahn. The summer before Hitler’s election, Konrad Adenauer, Oberbürgermeister (mayor) of Cologne, opened the first autobahn. In fact, the Nazis opposed building autobahns until they took office and realized that it was a good boondoggle—staatliche Großarbeitkickbackerei—to reward patrons with no-show jobs and no-bid contracts.
Germany takes a chilling turn to the far right
If there was any doubt radical change is under way in Germany, it was answered this weekend by voters in Saxony-Anhalt.
For the first time since the infamous Nazi epoch, a far-right party has claimed victory in a state election. The win by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party – designated an extremist group by domestic intelligence agencies in numerous German states – has shaken the political foundation of Europe. It represented an irrevocable repudiation of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), and of mainstream parties more generally.
Supporters of mass immigration seem a little antsy of late.
Hamas’s War on Trump’s Board of Peace
The Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group has suddenly stepped up its rhetorical attacks on US President Donald J. Trump’s Board of Peace. They are accusing the body of promoting the Israeli narrative, failing to pressure Israel and interfering in Palestinian affairs.
There is something else that deserves attention: the timing.
Canadian jetmaker Bombardier stock slides after Trump’s threat to block U.S. Sales
Shares of Canadian jet maker Bombardier Inc. fell as much as 7% before paring some of those losses, after President Donald Trump sent a social media post suggesting the company should be blocked from US sales.
“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!” Trump wrote on Monday. “If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank.’”
Houthis strike Saudi Arabian cities in significant expansion of Middle East war
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war.
Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after the overnight strikes – reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles – that targeted several oil facilities in the country’s south.
Family of two murdered Abbotsford seniors frustrated as killers launch constitutional challenge
Three men convicted in the brutal murders of two Abbotsford seniors are challenging how long they should serve in prison before being considered for parole under the so-called faint hope clause.
“The faint hope clause makes no sense to me. It’s ridiculous,” said Brian Barthel, the son-in-law of victims Arnold and Joanne De Jong.
Kushveer Toor, Abhijeet Singh and Gurkaran Singh were convicted earlier this year in the 2022 first-degree murders of the De Jongs, who were attacked during a home invasion.
U.A.E. warned Netanyahu of major Hamas operation days before Oct. 7 attack: Israeli newspaper
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was directly warned by the president of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a major offensive just days before the militant group led an attack on Oct. 7, 2023 , according to an Israeli newspaper.
U.A.E. President Mohammed bin Zayed spoke with Netanyahu 10 days before the attack and said Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza at the time, was planning an operation, the Haaretz daily said.
Peel police make arrest in knifepoint Brampton robberies
A 22-year-old man who allegedly robbed several businesses in Brampton at knifepoint has been arrested.
Brampton resident Teepinder Singh Ghuman was identified as a suspect and arrested on Aug. 29.
EU court rules against Belgian “far-right” party in IKEA case
A top European Union court ruled in favor of Ikea on Tuesday in a challenge brought by the company against Belgian far-right and Flemish separatist party Vlaams Belang.
The popular Swedish brand may prevent the Belgian party from using its signature illustrations. Vlaams Belang launched the “Ikea Plan” in 2022, a proposal to reform the country’s migration and asylum laws.
The plan included images similar to Ikea’s furniture assembly instructions. Ikea filed a legal complaint in 2023, accusing the far-right party of unlawfully using its branding.

Many U.S. manufacturers will be hit hard by Canada’s counter-tariffs — but they don’t blame us
Over the past two weeks, Jim Coudal has been rushing orders to Canadian retailers from his Chicago warehouse ahead of new retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products.
Starting Sept. 8, Coudal’s company, Field Notes, which makes small pocket notebooks and memo books, will face a 50 per cent tariff when its products enter Canada, where they are sold by retailers including Toronto Pen Shoppe and Take Note Pens & Stationery Store.
Military sees 75% decline in drones at US-Mexico border since laser rollout
U.S. military officials have seen a 75% decline in Mexican drone sightings at the U.S.-Mexico border in the two weeks since debuting a high-energy laser weapon system to disable the small unmanned aerial systems, according to a new report.
Military stationed at the border in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas used a new type of technology on Aug. 25 and 26 to take down three suspicious drones in U.S. airspace, likely operated by the cartels on the south side of the international border.
