Poilievre Says Canadian Flag Should Not Be Replaced by Other Flags in Public Spaces

Poilievre Says Canadian Flag Should Not Be Replaced by Other Flags in Public Spaces

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadian flags should not be removed and replaced with other flags, after he was asked about a school’s decision to fly a Pride flag in place of the national flag during the month of June.

“When I’m prime minister, we will fly the Canadian flag everywhere and always. We should never take down the Canadian flag for any reason. We have to be united now more than ever,” Poilievre told reporters in Vancouver on June 19.

Taliban Open Fire on Women Protesting the Islamic Dress Code

Taliban Open Fire on Women Protesting the Islamic Dress Code

The story is all too predictable. What could anyone have expected when women in Afghanistan, of all places, decided to take to the streets to protest the Taliban’s Islamic dress code? The South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) reported recently that “on June 9, at least two people, including a woman and a child, were killed and many others wounded after Taliban opened fire on protesters in Herat city of Herat Province, reports Amu TV. The violence erupted after residents took to the streets to protest the detention of women and girls accused of violating the Taliban’s dress code.”

The Cambridge Five: England’s Übermenschen

The Cambridge Five: England’s Übermenschen

Who would have thought that Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch would find one of its most remarkable manifestations not among the “blond beasts” of Adolf Hitler’s Aryan fantasies, but in a handful of effete yet determined young British men, all of whom were educated at the University of Cambridge in the late Twenties and early Thirties. What marked them out, and still marks them out, is their repudiation of the pieties of their time and place in favour of a harsh and uncompromising creed, spawned in the East, the aim of which was to destroy the society of the West into which they were born.

Progressive women embrace Maine’s Nazi-tattooed dude-bro Senate candidate

Progressive women embrace Maine’s Nazi-tattooed dude-bro Senate candidate

Having spent the last two weeks vacationing in Maine, I had the dubious pleasure of cognitive proximity to the successful bloom of Graham Platner mania. Platner is the “dude-bro” Maine Democrats are putting their money on for the Senate midterm win. The alleged philanderingwomen-bullyingmilitary-comrade insultingAR-15-owningF-word-spewingfake working class populist with no political experience won 72 per cent of the vote.

Andrew Stiles of the Washington Free Beacon described Platner as “a bearded scumbag with a Nazi tattoo and a vanity oyster farm.” (Most, if not all, of his oysters go to his mom’s restaurant.) Stiles reminds us that Platner has also fantasized about raping burglars to show dominance (“not in a gay way,” you understand) and admitted to masturbating in porta-potties. There’s more, but I have other points to make and breakfast to keep down.

I believe aliens exist… and this is how we might find them

I believe aliens exist… and this is how we might find them

Is the rest of the cosmos a pristine environment awaiting the arrival of humanity’s “post-human” descendants? Or is advanced life there already – and if so has it visited us? These questions rate as some of the most fascinating in science.

They bring to mind the theme of science-fiction classics like Steven Spielberg’s ET. Now, though, amid the fanfare surrounding his new film, Departure Day, Spielberg himself has said he believes that aliens exist.

So do I, though I’m sceptical of Spielberg’s belief that we’ve been visited here on Earth. Proclamations of UFO sightings, abductions, and so forth never seem convincing.

Christianity Is the New Counterculture: Why Young Men Are Seeking the Church

Christianity Is the New Counterculture: Why Young Men Are Seeking the Church

In the United Kingdom, a contested 2025 report—whose methodology has since been seriously questioned—claims a fourfold increase in 18-34-year-olds attending church at least once a month, with 20% of young men under 34 regularly attending compared to just 4% six years ago.

Yet, it is still hard to deny an interest in Christianity and a—very quiet—revival. At Easter 2026, 21,000 adults and young people were baptised in France, a 20% increase compared to 2025, which already saw a 32% rise in baptisms compared to the year before. For comparison, in 2021 there were around 4,100 adult baptisms.

The small Dutch town that said no to more asylum seekers

The small Dutch town that said no to more asylum seekers

Apolitical crisis is unfolding in the small Dutch town of Maassluis, a former fishing village which sits between Rotterdam’s vast port and industrial complex, the glasshouses of the agribusiness powerhouse known as the Westland, and the historic fishing town of Vlaardingen.

The natives of Maassluis were once nicknamed ‘snails’. They acquired the name in the 1770s, when the parliament of the Dutch Republic decreed that Psalms should be sung at a faster tempo in church. The citizens of Maassluis and Vlaardingen refused to comply, continuing – like snails – to sing at the slower pace that had been customary for more than two centuries, dating back to the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. A minority, reportedly from the local elite, embraced the new rules and began singing more briskly, resulting in chaotic Sunday services in Dutch Reformed churches across the region.

U.S. tariffs go easy on Alberta. That lets separatists go harder on Canada

U.S. tariffs go easy on Alberta. That lets separatists go harder on Canada

Several factors have triggered concern in some corners of the country about the role the United States may play in Alberta’s upcoming referendum on separation. They range from a Trump cabinet secretary’s remarks, to administration meetings with separatists, to the spectre of U.S.-based foreign influence campaigns.

But what if the biggest lift Washington gave to the independence movement was done in plain sight and through official policy channels, even though it was likely inadvertent and an indirect boost?

Mass Deportations Are ‘The Christian Response’ to Mass Immigration

Mass Deportations Are ‘The Christian Response’ to Mass Immigration

Pope Leo XIV has, as I’ve noted before, done tremendous work reversing much of the damage done by his late predecessor Pope Francis, who often sowed confusion and nearly as often refused to offer subsequent clarity. There is one topic, however, upon which Pope Leo could and should afford further clarity, in accord with the age-old teachings of the Catholic Church and her greatest thinkers, and that subject is immigration.

Wanting an affordable home, a future for your children and access to a doctor makes you a right wing extremist say experts

Wanting an affordable home, a future for your children and access to a doctor makes you a right wing extremist say experts

A new book examining far-right extremism in Canada argues the movement has evolved dramatically in the past decade, shifting from small, organized groups to a broader network fuelled by social media, conspiracy theories and political grievances.

In For Blood and Soil: Far-Right Extremism in Canada, researchers Stephanie Carvin and Amarnath Amarasingam trace the movement’s development through some of the country’s most significant violent incidents, including the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting and the 2021 attack on a Muslim family in London, Ont.


Bad timing to release a race-baiting tome given the Nazi Funding SPLC expose.

The usual suspects are pushing the same racist crap. Anti-immigration? You’re a racist etc.

Then again they probably hoped it would ride the coattails of Carneys attack on free speech.
