Two Nations, Two Elections, One Fate

Had the Flydubai attempted hijacking succeeded, it would have made for quite an October surprise leading up to the Israeli general elections slated for October 27. Since that failed attempt, we have learned through interrogations that the co-pilot’s goal was to crash the plane into a terminal of Ben Gurion airport, in which case not only the passengers and crew on the plane, but also potentially thousands of other people would have been killed. In other words, the hijacking was planned as a 9/11 copycat terrorist attack.

‘Second Degree’ Islamic Propaganda is Turning Americans to Terror

‘Second Degree’ Islamic Propaganda is Turning Americans to Terror

In August, Jessica Bowie was arrested in connection with a plot to blow up New York State legislators at the capitol building while pretending to be delivering DoorDash and then in Oct, Benny Caldera Jr. was arrested in a plot to shoot up the Texas State Capitol.

The two terror plots targeting state capitols and legislators in two different states took place less than three months apart and while these are the sorts of terror plots that might have been expected of Islamic terrorists, Bowie and Caldera were Americans, and yet their plots were Islam-inspired.

Conrad Black: A Christian uprising is here to save the West

Conrad Black: A Christian uprising is here to save the West

It has long been unfashionable in most of the Western world to discuss religion and particularly Christianity other than in an historical or sentimental or even somewhat condescending context. But important trends are changing: in the United States religious practice which was in decline for some decades, after being steady for more than five years, is increasing. The percentage of Americans who believe in the existence of some form of divine or at least supernatural intelligence has risen slightly to a formidable 86 per cent, while the numbers of regular religious practitioners, depending on definition, bottomed out at 44 per cent and have risen somewhat. The genius of the American founders is revealed again in embracing the Enlightenment, but not its tendencies to atheism, thus arming the nascent American people with both the zeal of material progress and the conviction of divine favour.

Covid vaccine victim who lost the use of her hands after AstraZeneca jab was ‘not disabled enough’ for compensation

A Covid vaccine victim who lost the use of her hands after receiving a jab was refused compensation because she was not deemed disabled enough.

Marie-Claire Hoyle volunteered to take part in the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine trial in 2020 but just two weeks after her second jab, she developed a debilitating neurological condition.

The 44-year-old NHS nurse was diagnosed with transverse myelitis which caused agonising inflammation of the spine and left her unable to use her hands.

A hard decision for soft separatism

A hard decision for soft separatism

On a cool night in September, a flotilla of pickup trucks flying Alberta flags sits in the parking lot outside a community hall in Sylvan Lake. The community of 17,000 people is about halfway between Edmonton and Calgary, surrounded by rolling farmland and central Alberta’s oil and gas industry.

A crowd of about 120 people has gathered for a town hall organized by the Alberta Prosperity Project, a pro-sovereignty group.


That’s no different than Quebec’s sentiment.

UK Greens’ Muslim Wing Issues Guidance Making Everything ‘Islamophobic’

UK Greens’ Muslim Wing Issues Guidance Making Everything ‘Islamophobic’

Criticizing Quranic teachings on women, raising alarms about Islamist influence or using phrases such as ‘illegal migrants’ could invite Islamophobia complaints against British Green Party members in the future under a ridiculously wide-ranging guide published by the party’s Muslim wing. The document stretches the concept of religious prejudice into virtually every corner of political debate, from border controls and LGBTQ rights to candidate selection and even the choice of venue for a party social event.

Ottawa’s Buy Canadian policy allows foreign-owned companies to qualify for federal contracts

Ottawa’s Buy Canadian policy allows foreign-owned companies to qualify for federal contracts

Foreign-owned companies can qualify for federal contracts under Ottawa’s Buy Canadian policy despite government claims the program will strengthen domestic manufacturing and protect Canadian jobs, according to federal documents.

Blacklock’s Reporter says internal records from Industry Minister Mélanie Joly’s department acknowledge the importance of building Canadian industrial capacity, while separate documents show businesses with 100% foreign ownership can still qualify as Canadian suppliers.

France Is Burning, and Socialism Is Holding the Match

France Is Burning, and Socialism Is Holding the Match

I spend a lot of time working in Paris, and I was there again recently. It remains one of the most beautiful and culturally important cities in the world. But beneath that beauty, France is facing an economic crisis that should concern every Western democracy. The protests spreading across France are being viewed through the familiar lenses of Left versus Right, immigration, and political unrest. Those issues certainly matter, but I believe the real story is much bigger. France is confronting the consequences of an economic model that has promised more than it can sustainably deliver.

Meghan and Harry have given the Royal Family a fresh headache

Twice in the past week, I’ve heard controversial figures say the words ‘It’s good to be back’, or some close variant thereof. The first was Johnny Depp, in character as literature’s most famous grouch Scrooge, in the dreadful-looking trailer for the latest cinematic ‘reimagining’ of A Christmas Carol. The other was Meghan Markle, arriving along with her husband Prince Harry in Nottingham, where they were going on a royal tour which we’re not allowed to call a royal tour for the simple reason that they are no longer working royals.

Sikh Separatist Leader Targeted in Foiled Indian Assassination Plot Says FBI Warned Him of “Imminent Threat” Ahead of Edmonton Referendum

OTTAWA — Less than three weeks after the FBI added a fugitive accused of ordering the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia, to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, another Sikh separatist leader tied to the Nijjar case and identified as the target of a U.S. murder-for-hire plot says agents have warned him of a threat to his life ahead of a Khalistan Referendum vote in Edmonton on Sunday.

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, general counsel for Sikhs For Justice, said in a statement to The Bureau that the agents came to see him in person.

UN Conference Reveals Non-Muslim Child Abuse in Pakistan

On July 26, 2025, a 13-year-old Pakistani Christian child, Maria Shahbaz, was abducted by a 30-year-old Muslim man near her home. She was forcibly converted to Islam and married to her abductor. Police in Lahore delayed the filing of the family’s first information report (FIR) and influenced the judge to dismiss their abduction complaint.

On July 31, 2025, the Model Town court of Judicial Magistrate Hassan Sarfaraz Cheema awarded custody of Shahbaz to her captor after accepting falsified documents claiming she was 18 years old.

How Canada’s fractured immigration consensus is starting to show up at ballot boxes

How Canada’s fractured immigration consensus is starting to show up at ballot boxes

It’s no secret the long-held Canadian consensus on immigration has fractured — pulled apart by a rapid increase in new arrivals post-pandemic and growing affordability challenges. Now, that fracture is starting to show up at the ballot box.

The Parti Québécois won a minority mandate in Quebec on a platform that included promises of tighter immigration controls, which the party linked to protecting French culture and easing pressure on public services and housing.
