Two Americas: Black Rednecks and Karmelo Anthony — and Civilization

When thinking about poor Austin Metcalf, I sometimes wonder about his reactions during those last fatal moments on April 2 of last year. When murderer Karmelo Anthony drew that knife, could he not, being young and athletic, have avoided at least a deadly strike? Perhaps Anthony was just too quick. But then I realize something:

The two boys were from vastly different worlds.

Terror Comes North

Terror Comes North

In March, the Israeli ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, characterized Canada as “one of the centres of antisemitism globally.” Also, Toronto Rabbi Daniel Korobkin of Beth Avraham Yoseph synagogue (which had its front doors shattered from gunfire) stated: “What our message needs to be to our leaders is that if nothing is done, then you’re sending a message: ‘They can go ahead and go to the next level.’”

Fury over migration has not been ‘whipped up’ by the right

Fury over migration has not been ‘whipped up’ by the right

There is usually a very singular and overarching explanation from much of the British establishment when working-class communities express anger over such issues as immigration, crime or economic decline: they must have been manipulated into thinking that way. And when, after years of not having their voices heard, this anger bubbles up into rioting – never a good idea, never to be encouraged, but often understandable in its sentiment – the same explanation comes out again.

Geoff Russ: Poilievre should lead the war against woke history vandals

Geoff Russ: Poilievre should lead the war against woke history vandals

If Orillia’s statue of Samuel de Champlain is due to be melted down, then the Conservative Party should lead the opposition to its destruction.

Politicians and media in Quebec have certainly noticed the farce in neighbouring Ontario, with MPs from the Bloc Québécois and the province’s media decrying the assault on the Father of New France, and explorer of the land that would become Orillia and Simcoe Country.

Woman who married illegal migrant she met in Australia is rescued after he took her to Pakistan, ‘kept her prisoner and beat her every day for 12 years’

Woman who married illegal migrant she met in Australia is rescued after he took her to Pakistan, ‘kept her prisoner and beat her every day for 12 years’

A woman who married a Pakistani migrant she met in Australia has been rescued after he allegedly kept her locked up and beat her daily for 12 years.

French national Sylvie Yasmina, 54, agreed to move to Pakistan with her husband – who is alleged to have been living in Australia illegally – but claims she was then put through more than a decade of hell.

She told police she was kept with their five children in an ‘extremely dilapidated room’ in the remote village of Bara.


I am trying very hard to feel sorry for this woman.

Germany’s Perfect Storm of Social Decline

Germany’s Perfect Storm of Social Decline

wo dangerous trends are coalescing in Germany: the deterioration of private life and the tyrannization of politics. The latter comes to light in the persecution of any political opinion marginally different from that of the government.

Private life deteriorates under pressure from a stagnant economy with its withering welfare state. Unending tax hikes are coupled with the erosion and increasing unreliability of social benefits.


Time to check in with Survival Lilly for an Austrian take on all things Europe. Well some things.

WAGNER: Pierre Trudeau was Canada’s first socialist prime minister

WAGNER: Pierre Trudeau was Canada’s first socialist prime minister

In 1965, Pierre Trudeau joined the Liberal Party of Canada, became a candidate, and won a Montreal seat in the federal election that year. Canada would never be the same.

His run as a Liberal came as a surprise for many people because until that time, Trudeau had openly identified as a socialist and supporter of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and its successor, the New Democratic Party (NDP). Trudeau’s political evolution and eventual membership in the Liberal Party are described by University of Winnipeg political scientist Allen Mills in his important 2016 book, Citizen Trudeau, 1944-1965: An Intellectual Biography.

How Immigration Fueled Radical Islamic Attacks In Europe

How Immigration Fueled Radical Islamic Attacks In Europe

Years of open-door policies and unchecked immigration have resulted in a rise of radical Islamism across Europe — and some countries are looking to reverse course.

In the United Kingdom, migrant rape gangs have victimized at least 250,000 British girls over the past several decades, a recent report conducted by Restore Britain, led by Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, found. A disproportionate number of attackers came from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds, according to the report, which cited court records, previous inquiries, and witness testimonies.

Canada, U.S. nowhere near deal as CUSMA deadline approaches: Hoekstra

OTTAWA – With little more than a week before the July 1 deadline to either renew or review the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says officials are nowhere near the finish line.

“We’re not anywhere close to announcing any type of a framework or an interim agreement,” Hoekstra told CTV News chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos in a wide-ranging broadcast exclusive interview.

There’s little to celebrate when the West gets a beating

There’s little to celebrate when the West gets a beating

There is only a deep bitterness to feel about the state of what the great writer Maurice Dantec called “Zeropa.” And as often happens, it is an Italian video that reminds us of it.

Italy’s so-called “head of diplomacy” Antonio Tajani writes:

“The Italian merchant ship ‘Grande Torino,’ of the Grimaldi group, just hours after the signing of the agreement between the USA and Iran, was among the first to cross the Strait of Hormuz. It is now sailing toward the East. A success for Italian diplomacy. Great news for the resumption of commercial traffic and especially for all the sailors on board and their families in Italy.”

Terror Shouldn’t Pay in Canada

Terror Shouldn’t Pay in Canada

Most terrorist financing stays hidden — moving through shell companies, informal transfer networks, and charities existing only on paper. There is, however, a category of terrorist financing that operates in the open, written into legislation and funded through public budgets. These are the structured payment programs known colloquially as “pay-for-slay” programs.

Walloping Each Other Harder and Harder

Walloping Each Other Harder and Harder

Russia and Ukraine exchanged devastating missile and drone strikes on each other’s capitals last week. Ukraine dazzled the world with its onslaught of jet-powered drones over Moscow, which destroyed the city’s main oil refinery, but Russia also demonstrated that despite Western sanctions and consistent drone strikes on key industrial facilities, it’s managing to produce a growing arsenal of ballistic and cruise missiles with improved precision, targeting, and guidance systems — which could be shared with Iran.
