Jon Ronson and I were friends for 25 years. In 2008, I got him on Twitter, telling him it was a utopia where people played hashtag games and got stuck in lifts. I invited him to sit in on recordings of Father Ted, Paris and The IT Crowd. That was before the trans wars – and online life turning toxic.

You can admire the intricate choreography and admire the skill, but do not under any circumstances, laugh when she falls or when he almost gets a hernia from lifting her.

The resurgence of socialism in the United States, mainly through the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), should serve as a warning to Canadians. Ideas once associated with Soviet socialism and later cultivated in Western activist movements and university campuses, are increasingly finding their way into mainstream campaigns and electoral victories in the United States.
There is no longer any serious dispute that our boys and men are in crisis. It’s an undeniable empirical reality, from plummeting male labor force participation and lagging educational achievement to disproportionate rates of suicide, homicide, and social isolation. What remains in dispute is how we got to this place and what to do about it.
Watching the tussle between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump unfold — the former “Lake Ontario”/”Lake America,” ya know… Well, I’ve decided it’s about time I waded into this fight.
Carney rode into power in 2025 on a wave of manufactured Canadian nationalism, casting himself as the last line of defense against American economic influence — “elbows up,” as the slogan goes. Strip away the branding, though, and you find a man deeply, personally enmeshed in the very country he’s built his entire political persona around opposing. Grade-one hypocrisy, dressed up in a maple leaf.
An institution built around one person, such as the US President Donald J. Trump, carries the expiration date of that person’s term in office. The states that join it do not.
Nothing better explains the conduct of Turkey, Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia over the past eight months — and nothing in current American policy appears to be taking the countless danger signals from them seriously.
The real plan, as can be seen from Saudi Arabia’s recent moves, seems to be to avoid joining the Abraham Accords, and instead position themselves in Gaza, right on the border of Israel, to be able to attack it after Trump leaves office. No one will have his determination to make sure that any agreements are enforced.
If U.S. President Donald J. Trump was upset about Premier Doug Ford telling him to “kiss” his behind, there’s no telling how he may react to an Ontario judge saying the man charged in shooting up the American consulate in downtown Toronto does not have to sit in jail and is free to wait at home until his trial.
Canada’s justice system needs no incentive from Trump to make an ass of itself.
Michigan’s Democratic US senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed apologized to the state’s Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel’s actions in the Middle East.
“My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify,” El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. “To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry. That was not my intention.”
From her home in northeast Calgary, Saima Jamal scrolls through nearly a dozen hateful comments posted online ahead of a Muslim event in the city.
“One person said, ‘Hey, someone should plow into them.’ Another person is saying, ‘Please check their ID, arrest, deport,’” she said.
Jamal, the co-founder of the Calgary Immigrant Support Society — a group first created more than a decade ago to help Syrian refugees settle into life in Calgary — has lived in Alberta for almost 30 years.
Jamal should blame the people who brought her cult to Canada.
The two wars have both demonstrated the importance of unmanned systems in war and demolished the myths that have driven U.S. National Security polices for the last 25 years.
The late former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld created the most damaging myth by replacing traditional military threat planning with the delusion that pirates and terrorists would be America’s primary future threats. He rejected any concerns about a near peer opponent. That and Rumsfeld’s faith in promised new technologies, led to acquisition decisions that saddled the U.S. Navy with trouble-plagued warships that cannot be deployed safely into a combat zone. That is, the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS’s) and Zumwalt-class stealth “guided missile” destroyers (DDGs). Reportedly designed for “Littoral Warfare” like the U.S. Navy is currently fighting in the Strait of Hormuz, they are in fact not suitable for either “littoral” or broad ocean area warfare.
Monte Solberg is between a rock, a hard place and a divided conservative base.
The former Conservative MP and founder of Vote to Stay wants Albertans to believe their “future is stronger within a united Canada than outside of it.” Of all the players trying to sway the Oct. 19 vote — pro-separation and pro-Confederation — his path is the most treacherous.
British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States to his native UK following an arrest this week by ICE.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesman told NBC News on Saturday that Yiannopoulos had been removed from the country one day after being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Friday.
Let’s start with the good news.
Statistics Canada reported Friday that the Canadian economy grew by 3.3% on an annualized basis in the second quarter (April to June) of this year, its best performance since 2023 and highest in the G7.
The federal agency also revised an earlier finding that the economy contracted by 0.1% in the first quarter (January to March) to a 0.3% increase.
Leftists used a foreign technology group’s tools to encourage crimes in the United States across multiple presidencies with near impunity. Now, they have one month to stop or face legal consequences.
The State and Treasury Departments sanctioned the Italy-based Autistici Inventati Collective as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” on Wednesday for providing digital services such as NoBlogs, a blogging platform that hosts numerous radical leftist sites. NoBlogs users follow a long-standing anarchist tradition of posting anonymous articles — sometimes called communiques or report-backs — that openly take credit for violent attacks or call for further illegal behavior. The A/I Collective publicly offers NoBlogs, encrypted communication, and other tools only to “anti-fascism” activists to keep their data off-grid from traditional corporate platforms and inaccessible to law enforcement, the State Department noted.
