The World Cup soccer matches, held in various American cities, are providing not only economic opportunities but, for at least some Europeans, cultural revelations. There’s substantial truth to the old saw that Europeans will never forgive us for saving them in WWII. We’re the unsophisticated, arrogant, ugly Americans they love to disparage and hate. Americans, and particularly the southern variety, are nearly beneath contempt, though our dollars aren’t.
At around half past 10 on Monday night, 8 June, on a residential street in north Belfast, a man in his thirties allegedly pinned another man to the ground and began stabbing him. He was stopped by three members of the public, one of them carrying a hurling stick, who dragged him clear. The victim, a man in his forties, lost his left eye. His right eye sustained serious damage. He has deep lacerations to his face and back. He remains in serious condition in hospital. A kitchen knife was recovered.
The shooting death of Toronto police officer Marc Pinizzotto is another tragic sign that what Prime Minister Mark Carney called the “civic compact” has badly fractured in Canada.
There are indications that the death of the veteran officer of 18 years service is linked to the unprecedented levels of antisemitism in this country and the extremists behind it who care nothing for Canadian values.
The perps were mere guns for hire and not Islamists so we’re told.
Any suggestion the their actions were Islamist connected will be trumpeted by the usual Quislings as “Islamophobia”.
Many claim that this is the best interview yet with Naval Aviator David Fravor explaining the famed Tic Tac” UFO incident.
The 1947 memo that said flying discs were ‘something real’
Declassified Air Force records reveal officials treating flying disc reports as a serious intelligence matter, not a passing curiosity.
Fewer know that just months after reports of “flying discs” swept across the country in 1947, senior Air Force intelligence officials were privately circulating memos that treated the sightings as a legitimate national security concern.
The death of Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto should not be viewed solely as another tragic line-of-duty death. It should be understood as a warning that Canada has become dangerously vulnerable to the convergence of transnational organized crime, foreign state actors, money-laundering networks, and domestic criminal enterprises.
This week, the war in Ukraine will pass a sombre milestone: it will have lasted longer than the First World War.
Much Western discussion continues to focus on tactical successes, technological innovation, and dramatic long-range strikes. Ukraine’s remarkable courage, resilience, and ingenuity in resisting Russia’s invasion deserve recognition. Supported by its allies, it has imposed very substantial costs on its adversary and will continue to do so for as long as the war lasts.
Tim Hortons is feeling the heat — responding in droves with a new PR strategy to get Canadians back on its side.
And to think, it all began with a “Hi Scott…”
If readers are unaware of the reference, a post on X, addressed to a podcaster, Scott Fox, who was criticizing Tim Hortons’ abuse of the feds’ temporary foreign workers program (TFWP) in late May, received a response from the coffee shop itself, which indicated this message was a “misperception.”
I don’t believe a word they say.
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard on Friday declassified evidence showing that the United States government has funded more than 120 dangerous biolabs in over 30 countries, including 40 “especially dangerous” labs in war-torn Ukraine.
In a press release, the outgoing DNI stated that biolabs researching dangerous pathogens in Ukraine have been “at risk of compromise” due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

OTTAWA — Eleanor Olszewski jokes that, like most good Albertans, she originally comes from Saskatchewan.
Born in Swift Current, Sask., Olszewski called the small city home for only a couple of years. Her family moved to Medicine Hat, Alta. where she was raised, before leaving for Edmonton to attend university, achieving degrees first in pharmacy and then later law, eventually settling down to raise her own two children in the provincial capital.

It is coming to the point where you are more likely to be detained and prosecuted in the United Kingdom for just noticing that many migrants commit horrendous crimes than the migrants themselves.
Just what we needed to see and hear, Elliot Page discussing healthy masculinity.
It takes real man to articulate these feelings.

In a statement celebrating the start of the World Cup, Prime Minister Mark Carney touted the economic benefits of the tournament, saying it is poised to yield thousands of new jobs and deliver billions in aid to Canada’s struggling economy.
“The FIFA World Cup is projected to create and support nearly 25,000 jobs and add $2 billion to Canada’s economy,” a release issued by Carney’s office on Thursday reads. “But the real impact will go much beyond the games. It will be Canadians watching our players playing in our stadiums, surrounded by our fans.”
