I escaped Europe’s dying democracies and discovered the real secret to America’s enduring success: AYAAN HIRSI ALI

I escaped Europe’s dying democracies and discovered the real secret to America’s enduring success: AYAAN HIRSI ALI

When I arrived in the Netherlands in 1992, what struck me first wasn’t the weather or the language, but the unmistakable prosperity of Dutch society. Coming from a world defined by scarcity, the visible wealth of Western Europe felt like an alternate reality.

If I were to characterize what I saw in the 1990s with one word, it would be trust.

Voters trusted their democracies. Elections were meaningful, but not existential. Citizens generally saw their choices reflected in policy, particularly when their party won enough seats to shape the governing agenda.

Infiltration and Denial: Germany’s Islamism Blind Spot

Infiltration and Denial: Germany’s Islamism Blind Spot

here is good news and bad news when it comes to the debate about the dangers of Islamism in Germany.

The good news first: what could long only be whispered is now being discussed increasingly openly and is finding greater attention. The bad news: the lobby that has allowed this danger to grow to such proportions still exists and continues to reach deep into government and mainstream media circles—and is pushing back with might.

Two quite different news reports, and the way they have been handled, illustrate this.

MROZEK: Canada’s fertile ground for population collapse

MROZEK: Canada’s fertile ground for population collapse

Cardus recently surveyed women — and for the first time, men — about their fertility ideals and intentions. For context, Canada’s total fertility rate in 2024 was 1.25 children per woman. This means we have joined the company of nations like South Korea with “lowest of the low” fertility.

The survey results showed that both men and women wish to have more children than they actually have by their mid-forties. Men desire slightly more children than women, and 59% of men aged 40-44 have fewer children than they wish. Only 53% of women say the same. Fewer than 50% of men and women are at their ideal family size by the time they reach their forties.

Caroline Elliott: For Canada Day, give the ‘decolonize’ nonsense a rest

This Canada Day, let’s celebrate our great nation unequivocally without the obligatory nod to guilt and grievance. We have just one day a year dedicated to the celebration of the free, democratic, tolerant country our predecessors built for us, and plenty of other days each year to focus on the endless social justice causes favoured by politicians on the left.

Canada’s electronic spy agency conducted cyberattacks on criminals brokering fentanyl ingredients, report says

Canada’s electronic eavesdropping agency conducted cyberattacks to disrupt the activities of online foreign criminals who were brokering the purchase and sale of precursor chemicals used to make the opioid fentanyl, according to its latest annual report.

The Communications Security Establishment, in its 2025–26 annual report, said it also stepped up its intelligence and cyberdefence work in the Arctic this year, citing growing interest in the region from Russia and China, “extending beyond traditional military and cyberthreats to include economic and influence-related activities that seek to shape access, infrastructure, and decision-making in the region.”

‘Hellbrew of Hate’: The New Relevance of Cold War Anti-Communist Movies

‘Hellbrew of Hate’: The New Relevance of Cold War Anti-Communist Movies

These movies aren’t bad. In fact, many of them are great.

This was the thought I had in 2024, when I attended the American Film Institute’s series “Fabulous 50s.” The series highlighted American movies from the 1950s. There were classics screened: Ben-Hur. Carmen Jones, A Streetcar Named Desire. The Night of the Hunter, Singin’ in the Rain, and my favorite, Sweet Smell of Success.

Paper Agreements Will Not Disarm Terrorists

Paper Agreements Will Not Disarm Terrorists

For decades, Western diplomats and decision-makers have clung to one of the most dangerous illusions in the Middle East: the belief that Islamist terrorist organizations can be persuaded through negotiations and diplomatic agreements to surrender their weapons and abandon their jihad (holy war) against Israel.

Reality continues to prove that persuading terrorist regimes to give up their weapons is not the walk in the park they might have hoped.

Condo prices have crashed. What’s the minimum income you need to buy your own Toronto condo now?

Condo prices have crashed. What’s the minimum income you need to buy your own Toronto condo now?

According to data collected by Ratehub, the average Toronto condo price in March 2022 was $831,351, requiring a household income of $156,320. As of May 2026, the average condo price has dropped by roughly 19 per cent, to $673,841, requiring a household income of $139,000.

BUT … The Star is omitting pertinent facts about income figures.

The average household income in the City of Toronto is approximately $121,200 to $129,000 before taxes, while the median household income is roughly $84,000 to $97,000. The higher average compared to the median is typically skewed by a larger share of upper-income households.

In Ontario, the average household total income is approximately $116,000 before taxes, and the average after-tax income is about $95,300. For median household income (the midpoint), the figure sits at roughly $81,000 before taxes and $79,500 after taxes
