hat is happening to American media right now is unique and deserves far more attention in Europe than it has received. This isn’t just about lawsuits for outrageous sums of money, but about massive corporate takeovers that will have lasting effects on the entire media landscape.
The most politically interesting part isn’t that President Trump has collected $86.5 million in settlements so far. It’s what’s happening at the same time.
Controversial Canadian YouTuber Hicham Jerando, already known to Quebec courts and previously examined in the Western Standard, is now at the centre of a criminal file of an entirely different magnitude.
I went back to my hometown recently, a small suburb in north-west London. I strolled the streets, stopped by the crumbling library where we did our homework, visited the convent where I was educated (it’s a block of flats now – isn’t everything?). And I’m going to tell you something I’ve been keeping to myself since that day: while I was there I didn’t hear a word of English.
It really hit me later in the evening, on the Tube home, when I heard a young English fella yapping on his phone. ‘This teenage blather is the first thing I’ve understood today’, I thought to myself. And you know what? I was grateful for it. I’m at that age where I find mobile chatter on trains irksome. Not this time. The boy’s voice hit me like thunder, a sudden, blinding bolt of home.
CAPE VINCENT, N.Y.—It’s just after 7:40 p.m. when news of the executive order reaches the squat white cottage underneath the lighthouse.
Pat Schamerhorn is locking up the gift shop. She lives just down the road, in the house with the picket fence, with views of the end of Lake Ontario and the start of the St. Lawrence River out her front door.
She decided to head home early, catching the last wisps of an achingly beautiful sunset dipping below the horizon, when news arrives — in person, in the form of a Toronto Star reporter and photographer.
Oh come on Star, Elbows Up is driven by the inbred Anti-Americanism afflicting the Liberal-Left in Canada.

As the “Big Three” convened in Potsdam in July 1945, Britain counted votes from its first postwar parliamentary elections. Prime Minister Winston Churchill departed for London, soon to be replaced by Labour leader Clement Attlee. Stalin, confident that Western elections could be rigged or substantially influenced, was especially astonished at the result; he reportedly suspected it was a ruse of British intelligence. Having led the country through its darkest hour, the war hero Churchill was unceremoniously booted from office.
Carney lusts for the EU even though it’s possible that Europe will be lost.
Here's a 4-minute reimagined scene from The Odyssey. I used a lot of creative license, and this is nothing like the epic poem-sorry, Homer.
I think Christopher Nolan would approve of my casting. I hope you enjoy it. @imagine @grok https://t.co/CacifatVFk pic.twitter.com/tzG12Jv3o2

During the summer of 2021, Hamilton Police officers looked on as a group of Indigenous sovereigntists tore down the city’s Sir John A. Macdonald statue and sawed right down the middle of its face. Instead of arresting the numerous parties to the crime right then and there, they waited, eventually laying a charge on a 56-year-old who was absolved months later through a stay of proceedings.
As my PJ Media colleague Sarah Anderson reported Friday night, President Donald Trump dropped one of the biggest energy announcements of his second term on Friday evening, revealing that the United States and Venezuela had signed what he called “the biggest oil deal in world history.” The agreement hands America majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s proven oil reserves, and Trump wasted no time celebrating.
It is easy to forget it was only last year, during an Ontario election campaign focused on the threat of U.S. tariffs, that Premier Doug Ford let slip he wanted Donald Trump to win the presidency.
“On election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was,” said Ford, caught on a hot mic at his Etobicoke campaign office.
“Then the guy pulled out the knife and f—-ing yanked it in me,” he said, motioning his arm as if stabbing someone.

For anyone who has ever harbored doubts—and for those who still do—that Iran’s regime stands against humanity, peace, and the basic norms of civilization, the latest remarks from hard-line Iranian cleric Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi — secretary-general of Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, and closely tied to the current Supreme Leader — should be impossible to ignore. “The only way to save the country… is building an atomic bomb and firing it,” Kharrazi recently declared, “no other way is left for us…. We should create a tsunami whose waves hit the American coasts”.
Joseph McLuckie can’t count the number of sleepless nights he has had ever since the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) determined about three months ago that his small business owes more than $180,000 in tariffs on a more-than-a-year-old shipment.
McLuckie is the managing director and owner of JPSM Golf, a small business based out of Pickering, Ont., that sells electric golf trolleys. These trolleys carry golfers’ bags throughout the course as they play.
Can’t they just rent or sell Uyghurs?
On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke at the “Defend The Vote” protest in Washington, but instead of taking issue with the premise that voter suppression is real, MS NOW On The Line guest host Eugene Daniels brought in journalism professor Jason Johnson to claim Democrats need to be tougher against “this kind of extreme white nationalist, authoritarian regime.”
Not the Flex these racists think it is.
“Reindustrialization is a real thing, and no one would argue that’s not a good thing for our countries,” said Glenn Stevens, the chief automotive and innovation officer at the Detroit Regional Chamber. “The issue really for us has been here in Michigan is we want that, and we’ve seen some of that, but we really don’t want that at the expense of a trading partner that we’ve been with for, in the auto industry, almost 125 years together.”
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon said Thursday that leaving corporate media has freed him to say whatever he wants, during an appearance on The Bakari Sellers Show.
Lemon told Sellers he had to break habits formed during his cable news career, describing a reflex to second-guess himself before speaking on air.
