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.

Islam’s Welcoming Not-for-Profit Organizations

Growing up in Islamic societies in Iran and Syria, all of us could see that there is not even an iota of chance that any Islamist organization or mosque could exist as truly non-political or apolitical.

In schools and at university, we were taught that Islam differs fundamentally from other religions and spiritual practices. Whereas Christianity and Judaism allow for private faith and a separation between religion and state, Islam does not. From its inception in the seventh century, Islam was political. It was not a private spiritual matter. It was about creating a universal government run by Allah. Everything in society must be ordered by Sharia — what they call Allah’s law or God’s law.

Ramona Coelho: Ottawa keeps mucking up MAID

Five years ago, Parliament made disastrous changes to Canada’s assisted dying law, including one that was almost an afterthought. The government’s original bill did not include expanding MAID for mental illness. The Senate added the expansion; the government — up against a court deadline that had already been extended four times — accepted it with a two-year delay. Within weeks, it was passed by the House under a closure motion.

Since then, that clock has governed the issue of MAID’s expansion, which has already been delayed twice.

The most polite trucker in America is a driverless 18-wheeler

On a busy freight corridor, the 240 miles of I-45 between Dallas and Houston, it was bumper-to-bumper, like usual, when something out-of-the-ordinary happened. A big rig let in several cars from the on-ramp. Another 18-wheeler changed lanes to make space for a truck pulled over on the shoulder.

Neither honked its horn—the baritone blasts anyone who has ever driven a hatchback can’t forget.

U.S. tax breaks decimate Canada’s horseracing industry

TORONTO – The number of empty horse stalls inside the stables that line Toronto’s historic Woodbine Racetrack is increasing.

Three years ago, Woodbine Racetrack was home to roughly 1,900 horses. That number is now 1,600 and dropping fast, as Canadian breeders, thoroughbreds and buyers gallop south of the border, lured by U.S. tax breaks that are beginning to decimate Canada’s industry.

Anti-Gun Politicos ‘Forget’ to Praise Hero Dad Who Saved the Day at Oregon School Shooting

We’re learning more about the extraordinary bravery exhibited by a dad who heard gunshots and ran toward them inside a Bend, Ore., elementary school and stopped a murderer. And there are more heroes to celebrate in this tragic story. Sadly, however, we’re not learning much from the politicos in that largely leftist state whose default position is to blame the gun and not the malicious and sick person who murdered three children and at least one teacher and wounded others at Silver Rail Elementary on Thursday.

Alberta Looks Ready to Stay. The Harder Question Comes Next.

On Monday, Albertans will vote on whether their provincial government should begin the legal process toward a future, binding referendum on separation from Canada. After months of debate, political positioning, and speculation about whether a highly motivated separatist minority could produce a surprise, we have one final survey before the votes are counted.

And the evidence is increasingly pointing in one direction.

British Government Reportedly Plotting Internet Tax to Prop Up BBC

The left-wing UK government is reportedly planning to introduce an internet tax to prop up the financially struggling BBC public broadcaster.

Currently, everyone who watches broadcast television in Britain must pay the government an £180 ($239) annual licence fee, whether they watch the BBC or not. The fee was originally used to fund the BBC’s radio broadcasts, but was later expanded to incorporate TV following the Second World War. Now, amid the rise of streaming services, the left-wing Labour Party government is said to be planning on extending the effective tax to the internet.

Carney’s minions are salivating.

Why Mark Carney’s megaprojects alone won’t build Canada’s economic sovereignty. Main Street matters too

Recently the first Canada Investment Summit put 167 projects before global investors and set a target of $1 trillion in new capital over five years.

The pitch was for pipelines, mines, ports and data centres: large projects seeking big cheques. It is the right ambition for a country whose most important trading relationship has been put in a blender.

It is also incomplete.

Zelensky’s ex-aide: I’m no Russian spy, I just want Ukraine to surrender

She stood at Volodymyr Zelensky’s side for two years as one of his closest aides. She wrote a book crediting him with bringing hope to Ukraine and giving her a voice.

Iuliia Mendel is now using that voice to condemn the Ukrainian leader, calling him “the biggest obstacle to peace”.

Her deeply controversial – and highly contested – message is that the war cannot be won, and Kyiv must surrender.

Jamie Sarkonak: Steven Galloway’s accuser won’t even argue that she told the truth

The rape allegations that destroyed professor Steven Galloway’s career a decade ago were never actually tested. Indeed, the woman who made them isn’t planning to defend their accuracy in a defamation trial scheduled to start next month.

If it sounds like you’ve heard about this case before, you probably have. Galloway, an author and member of the University of British Columbia creative writing program, had an affair with a grad student older than he was, starting in 2011. Both of them were married at the time. It ended sometime in 2013 — and then, the student began telling people she’d been raped.

Carney appeals for a ‘decisive’ vote to settle the Alberta independence question

Four days before the latest test of this 159-year-old Confederation — a nation that has given the world both insulin and Céline Dion — Mark Carney went to Calgary to make the case for carrying on.

“Canada isn’t perfect, but we are the best,” he said. “And we are getting better.”

A day before Carney arrived, Naheed Nenshi, the leader of Alberta NDP and the former mayor of Calgary, was asked what he wanted to hear from the prime minister. Nenshi said Carney needed to make the argument that “Canada works.”

Canada works for grifters not Canadians.

Police clash with protesters as tens of thousands take to streets across France

Police have fired teargas and clashed with protesters supporting high school student grievances, as demonstrations across France were boosted by other groups angry over high prices and the fraying of a social welfare system.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the country, and tensions erupted on the fringes of the nationwide demonstrations over absent teachers, decrepit school buildings and police violence.

Over the last two days I went on Fox News and Newsmax to warn Americans about what’s happening in France. Today, the images speak for themselves.

October 17, 2026. In Marseille, France’s second-largest city, a mob smashed through the doors of City Hall and stormed the lobby chanting "It’s the revolution, we’re taking the Bastille." Shortly before, rioters had trashed a municipal police station, breaking windows and throwing smoke bombs inside. Shops on the main avenue were vandalized and barricades were set on fire. In Paris, masked black bloc crews fired mortar fireworks at police at Place de la République while tear gas filled the square. There were 166 arrests nationwide by midday and more than 600 protests across the country, after weeks of blockaded high schools. The Yellow Vests are back.

Now here’s what every American needs to understand. What are these people demanding? More: higher wages, higher pensions, more public spending, more state. That’s in a country where the government already spends more than half of everything the economy produces.

This isn’t an accident. It’s where 45 years of socialism lead. Since 1981, left or right, every French government has grown the state. Macron is just the final, most polished version of the same system.

Socialism doesn’t create prosperity. It creates dependency. When people rely on the state for everything, every disappointment turns into anger at the state. And the state cannot allocate capital. It doesn’t risk its own money, and it never goes bankrupt when it’s wrong. It just borrows more and taxes more. Productivity stalls, wages stagnate and prices rise. Then people take to the streets demanding even more state. The loop feeds itself until it breaks.

America, watch closely. If the Democrats fully embrace socialism, this is the trailer for what comes next. History is accelerating. It took France decades to get here. It won’t take you nearly as long.

Vote for less government, never more.
