Can’t afford World Cup tickets? Blame Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow because she and the City of Toronto are part of the problem.
Scalpers drive up ticket prices for any event, and the city has been acting as a scalper for the last year when it comes to the World Cup.
Six people were taken into police custody after activists linked to the Catholic traditionalist movement Civitas disrupted the opening of an art installation inside a Paris church during the city’s annual Nuit Blanche festival.
The incident took place on Saturday evening at the Saint-Laurent Church, where artist Marie-Luce Nadal’s installation “Sous la peau du ciel” (Under the skin of the sky) was due to open as part of the festival’s 25th edition.
Walking onto the floor of CANSEC, Canada’s largest defence show, in Ottawa late last month, one thing was impossible to miss: drones and autonomy are no longer the future of war. They are its present. Every ship, aircraft and vehicle came mounted with a rotor, a wing or a set of legs, trailing sensors. Behind them sat the consoles: fused displays of land, sea, air, space and cyber that give a commander a god’s-eye view of the battlefield and the power to point, click and send an autonomous machine to kill.
Canada in 2026 is insane.

🇩🇪 In Germany, a girl on public transport films a migrant harassing her and making sexual gestures towards her.
He tries to grab her, touches his crotch, and insinuates he wants oral sex.
Her caption reads, "Look after yourselves, girls." pic.twitter.com/QHfkRemK5p

New representative for head of state praises Canada as ‘pretty well’ perfect
And things went south from there.
Listen to CTV desperately hyping ‘excitement’ and ‘large crowds’ for Louise Arbour’s Governor General ceremony in Ottawa.
Reality check: 142 people watching online and the crowds… where are they exactly?
This is taxpayer funded theater for the elite/political class.
Nobody… pic.twitter.com/TNYMME0JUm

Just another Carney-Con.
On June 4, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced new economic sanctions on several Cuban organizations and officials, specifically citing the threat of communist “influence operations” on American national security. Among other effects, the sanctions prohibit “U.S. persons” from “the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked person and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.”
Colorado colleges are bracing for what education experts call an “enrollment cliff.” Fewer high school graduates mean fewer college applicants, shrinking tuition revenue, budget cuts, mergers, and even campus closures.
The same phenomenon is unfolding nationwide. After years of warnings, the demographic reckoning has arrived.
As is the wont in Crowborough, yesterday a peaceful protest was held to express ongoing dismay at the placement of up to 540 illegal migrants in an open camp adjacent to the town. This was the 31st such protest and every single one has been entirely peaceful with zero arrests and zero abusive or inciteful messages or behaviour.
The anger of those who protest is directed most specifically at the Home Office, which in the last year has consistently lied about its intentions regarding the camp. Recently we have learned that officials intend to use it until 2030 when they previously stated it was a temporary arrangement for a year. Behaving in an autocratic manner they have persistently declined to engage with local councils, much less representatives of local resident and business groups.
Sure, let’s have mass migration from those parts of the world that hate us the most and want to kill us.
What could possibly keep going wrong over and over and over and then over again.
Here’s the latest incident of too many to keep count of.
Beyond the immediate political drama surrounding prime minister Keir Starmer’s future, a far more unsettling development in the British state is quietly gathering pace. The King’s Speech last month confirmed that Labour intends to press ahead with digital ID.
At the immigration hearing for an accused Indian gangster last week, an Edmonton Police officer attempted to illustrate the scale of the criminal operation that law enforcement was now dealing with.
The hearing concerned Jashandeep Singh, an Indian national who had been photographed joking around with an illegal firearm linked to extortion-related violence in Edmonton.
Singh told the hearing through a Punjabi translator that he had no idea that the man who had given him what he thought was a replica gun, Arshdeep Singh, worked in organized crime. And it was these criminal links that got Arshdeep himself deported under guard in January, with the Canada Border Services Agency declaring him inadmissible due to “membership in a criminal organization linked to extortion, arson, drug trafficking, and firearm offences.”
Remigration now.
It’s one thing to watch “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” in a theater. Watching it with Steven Spielberg? That’s a master class. Viewing a scene with Richard Dreyfuss, the conditions of filming came back to him: “It was, like, 95° in Mobile, Alabama, and, like, 80% humidity. I remember that!” he laughed.
Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), haunted by a mysterious vision following an alien encounter, puts two and two together when he sees a TV news report from Devil’s Tower, Wyoming – information that is first revealed to the audience via Spielberg’s widescreen composition, information revealed very slowly, and effectively.

Canada is about to embrace the world when it hosts the FIFA World Cup. Thousands of tourists are expected to descend on Toronto. I pity them.
The city used to be compared to the guy you wanted your daughter to date: Clean and safe. We may have been a tad boring, but everyone loved us. We were polite. Not anymore. Toronto’s become the filthy, dangerous place where you can’t even get on a streetcar or subway without finding someone doing drugs or sleeping off a hangover across three seats. No one cares and no one bothers to do anything about it, least of all Mayor Olivia Chow. My property taxes have gone up more than 18% since she became mayor. And the city is a dump.
A 14-week public inquiry into the ‘Nottingham attacks’ concluded on Friday, June 5th—leaving many questions unanswered. Speaking for families of the victims, Emma—mother of the slain Barnaby Webber—condemned a “catastrophic collapse of responsibility” and an “undoubted miscarriage of justice,” adding, “Every single agency failed,” including England’s National Health Service (NHS).
