MACLEOD: Open the books — First Nations governments should meet the same accountability standards as everyone else
There is an entrenched “indigenous industry” in Canada — not ordinary indigenous families, elders, workers, or children, but a professional ecosystem of federal departments, band political insiders, consultants, lawyers, lobbyists, academics, activists, non-profit administrators, media voices, and reconciliation contractors who are funded, directly or indirectly, by Ottawa’s never-ending management of First Nations poverty.
Why Juneteenth Proves The ‘1619 Project’ Crowd Wrong
On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, two months after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. He announced to the city’s residents that all slaves in Texas were free by the Emancipation Proclamation. Some slaves remained enchained in the border states of Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri until the 13th Amendment’s ratification on Dec. 6 of that year, but ratification was a forgone conclusion. The amendment had already passed both houses of Congress, and mourning over Lincoln’s assassination assured assent in three-fourths of loyal state legislatures.
White flight according to Michelle Obama
recently wrote an article about what it was like for elderly white citizens, but particularly women, to be left behind in a formerly all-white neighborhood that had turned predominately black by 1980. In short, the experience was harrowing. It included harassment, burglary, robbery, home invasion, physical assault, and sexual violence. Most on the Left would prefer to forget about that saga. They prefer to remember an image of Martin Luther King Jr. walking arm-in-arm with fellow protesters through the streets of Selma as emblematic of the period.
Raped en masse, murdered and ignored: The full horror of the grooming gangs scandal
I CAN’T hold Rupert Lowe’s rushed release of his Rape Gang Inquiry Report against him, despite its politically convenient timing immediately ahead of the Makerfield by-election. I can however raise a cynical eyebrow at his vociferous disbelief that the BBC et al would roundly ignore it. Really, Rupes? You actually thought they’d fall for that?
The Restore Britain party leader’s independent inquiry was and is worthy and meaningful to the very many survivors, whistle-blowers, experts and distraught parents who contributed to it. Rotherham survivor and activist Sammy Woodhouse and her team gave its process a gravity of which I doubt Labour’s anointed national inquiry chair Baroness Longfield will venture within a country mile.
America Has Been Fighting Islamic Attacks for 242 Years
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, it’s also approaching the 242nd year of its ‘endless war’ with Islam which began when Morocco seized an American ship and then continued into the Barbary Wars and eventually into the modern age of Islamic terrorism.
Then – as now – there was a debate and differing voices over whether we should pay ‘tribute’ to Muslim states or, as Thomas Jefferson insisted, confront them on the battlefield.
Nigel Farage is right about two-tier Britain
On Sunday, Nigel Farage published the first in what he promised would be a series of essays. It’s a new initiative from the Reform UK leader to speak – unfiltered by the media – directly to the British public.
There’s plenty to sink one’s teeth into: the essay is 7,000 words, with a bibliography numbering over 80 sources. Nor does it pull any punches: titled, ‘Britain is a two-tier state – against white people’, Farage goes through education, healthcare, housing, policing, even the military, showing in each case how Britain’s obsession with identity politics has disadvantaged white British citizens.
Immigration rates still at generational highs, even if population shrinking
For the third consecutive quarter, the population of Canada has shrunk, capping off an unprecedented nine-month period that has seen the Canadian population go down by a combined 180,000 people.
But the phenomenon is due almost entirely to Ottawa reining in the meteoric surge of temporary migration experienced by Canada between 2022 and 2024. On multiple other immigration streams intake continues to remain at generational if not all-time highs.
Baseball team forfeits Pride Night game after players refuse to wear rainbows on their jersey
An independent league baseball team in Pennsylvania has forfeited a game after many of its players refused to wear rainbow-colored Pride Night-themed jerseys.
The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball’s York Revolution forfeited to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Thursday. As team officials later explained in a statement, ‘a number’ of its players objected to pariticipating in the club’s 11th annual Pride Night in observance of LGBTQ+ history and civil rights. Those players have not been identified publicly.
Good for them.
There’s a lot not to like about the new anti-hate council
At the opening of a national summit on antisemitism five years ago, then-senator Marc Gold told those gathered: “Antisemitism in all its forms is not a job for one summit. It’s not a job for one generation.”
But can it be the job of one council?
When Prime Minister Mark Carney gave what was supposed to be a landmark speech about antisemitism this month (which has been derided as falling far short by many, including this newspaper’s editorial board), he revealed the members of the previously announced Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion, and tasked the council with dealing with antisemitism as its first priority.
AfD State Parliament Member Assaulted by Left-Wing Extremists Outside His Home
Alternative für Deutschland’s (AfD) Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state parliament member Michael Meister was brutally attacked outside his private residence in Rostock on Wednesday night, in what is being investigated as a politically motivated assault by suspected left-wing extremists.
Meister said he first felt “pressure in his back” and believes one of the attackers attempted to stab him from behind. The blow was reportedly stopped by a laptop inside his backpack. The AfD politician nevertheless sustained several injuries during the attack, including a “cut to his left arm,” a kick to his leg, and “at least one punch to the face.”

Will the Iran deal destroy J.D. Vance?
When it comes to foreign policy, Donald Trump is neither hawk nor dove. He’s a dealmaker who plays differing sides off each other. In so doing, he ends up disappointing warmongers and peaceniks in equal measure.

Geoff Russ: Sorry, Carney, but the idea that newcomers don’t bring hatreds with them is a fiction
“When you come to Canada,” Mark Carney told newcomers in a speech addressing antisemitism, “you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story. You leave behind your wars and your animosities.”
It’s a pleasant, even pleasing fiction for millions of Canadians who imagine that a mythical “blank slate” exists for newcomers. The hard truth is that some peoples’ stories are welded to wars, and many of their traditions are centred on a desire to settle scores.
