Sell Arms to Taiwan Now: China Is Bluffing

“The Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations,” Xi Jinping told President Donald Trump during their summit this month, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning. “If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy.”

“The Taiwan Question,” according to China’s embassy in Washington, is the first of “the four red lines” in China-U.S. relations that “must not be challenged.”

The People’s Republic of China, however, is bluffing.

Doug Ford blasts Danielle Smith’s Alberta referendum move: ‘It’s not going to win’

Premier Doug Ford is blasting Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s decision to hold a referendum on whether her province should move toward secession from Canada.

“I’d never do it. Premier Smith knows how I feel. She wants to, I guess, protect her 30 per cent base,” Ford said Friday in Sault Ste. Marie.

That was an apparent reference to separatist elements with Smith’s United Conservative Party that want Alberta to secede.

When the Elitist Press Sounds Invested in Islamophobia

On Monday, two teenagers killed three men at the San Diego Islamic Center, then killed themselves. What a pointless spasm of violence it was. It took a few days for The New York Times to flex their rhetorical muscles and blame conservatives.

On the top left of Thursday’s front page, the headline read: “Islamophobia Spreads Fast, As Does Fear: Mosque Attack Reflects Rise in Overt Hatred.”

Man arrested after thefts at Hamilton cemetery

The Left Tried to Destroy Kash Patel. Crime Data Just Vindicated Him.

The FBI released preliminary crime data for 2025, and the numbers are stunning. Violent crime fell at a rate not seen in nearly a century, and the man overseeing the bureau is the same one the left has been trying to torch for months.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped more than 18% nationwide last year. Aggravated assault fell more than 7%. Rape declined nearly 8%. Robbery cratered by about 18.5%. All told, violent crime dropped about 9.3% overall; there were roughly 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than in 2024.

City of Toronto, security contractor trade blame in $32M lawsuit defences

While they’re both on the receiving end of the same litigation, security contractor One Community Solutions and the City of Toronto are not putting up a united front.

Both are fighting a proposed class-action lawsuit, and while they’re both disputing the allegations, in their statements of defence each is suggesting that the other would be responsible should a court find any wrongdoing took place.

France: One in Three Either Foreign Born or Descendant of Immigrants

A major study from France’s premier public research institute found “a society profoundly marked by long-term immigration,” with around a third of the population estimated to have been born abroad or to have been the child or grandchild of immigrants.

Research from the National Institute of Demographic Studies (INED) in Paris has perhaps provided the clearest picture of France’s demographic makeup, a country officially governed by a colourblind doctrine that prohibits the collection of racial or ethnic statistics in its census, making systematic tracking of immigrant groups difficult.

Alberta to hold fall referendum on whether to have binding referendum on separating from Canada

Premier Danielle Smith says Albertans will be able to vote in the fall on whether they want the province to hold a binding referendum on separating from Canada.

In a pre-recorded speech broadcast Thursday evening, Smith said a question will be added to a provincewide referendum in October that will ask, “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

Bank boss apologises for saying AI will replace ‘lower value’ humans

The boss of Standard Chartered has apologised for saying artificial intelligence would replace “lower value” humans.

Bill Winters, who has run the London-listed bank for more than a decade, said this week that Standard Chartered’s push into AI would eliminate thousands of roles, replacing “lower-value human capital” with technology.

The comments sparked a backlash and in a post on LinkedIn on Friday following the uproar, Mr Winters apologised for his choice of words.

Pentagon doubles down on Canada rebuke with demand for NATO spending road map, F-35 decision – proposed Carignan NATO makeover threatened

The Pentagon wants to see Canada articulate a clear plan on how the country intends to meet NATO’s new military spending benchmark before resuming binational defence planning co-operation.

The absence of a plan to spend 3.5 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product on the military, plus an additional 1.5 per cent of GDP on defence infrastructure, appears to be at the heart of this week’s suspension of the U.S.–Canada Permanent Joint Board on Defence (PJBD).

Senior Pentagon officials, speaking on background Thursday to mostly Canadian journalists, also cited the absence of a decision on whether to proceed with the full purchase of American-made F-35 fighter jets as another major irritant.

UK net migration fall masks true demographic replacement as British exodus continues

The left-wing U.K. government has claimed it is making real progress in tackling the ongoing migration crisis enveloping Britain after official statistics published on Thursday showed that net migration had decreased to 171,000 last year. However, that figure alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

“I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering,” under-pressure Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote on X in response to the latest publication by the Office for National Statistics.

Whistleblowers say organized crime has infiltrated Canada’s largest airport

Whistleblowers tell CTV News’ investigative unit W5 that organized crime has infiltrated Canada’s largest airport, as they call for sweeping reforms.

It took the horror of Sept. 11 to force airports around the world into a massive security overhaul to guard against terrorism.

Passengers became the focus of intense scrutiny: shoes off, liquids ditched, carry-on luggage scanned, bodies searched.

Pearson sounds worse.

Rubio tries to reassure Nato allies over US troop deployments

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has tried to reassure allies over US decisions on troop deployments in Europe.

Rubio’s intervention at the end of a Nato foreign ministers’ meeting in Sweden came after President Donald Trump said the US would send an extra 5,000 troops to Poland.

That decision was a week after a planned deployment of 4,000 troops to the country was cancelled and days after an announcement that US troops would be pulled out of Germany.

John Ivison: Canadian troops are steeling to fight Russia. Will Ottawa back them?

An extraordinary exchange with potentially dramatic consequences for Canada took place at the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday.

Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s potato-faced permanent representative at the UN, told the council that his country’s intelligence agency believes Latvia is deploying Ukrainian drones on its territory, with the intention of attacking Moscow.

“Membership of NATO will not protect you from just retaliation,” he told Latvia’s ambassador, Sanita-Pavluta Deslandes, who dismissed the allegations as “completely baseless” and “dangerous lies.”

Carney’s foreign policy means we will continue to fund Ukraine while siding with Russia and China in the coming war against the USA.

Ex-Prince Andrew probed over potential sex crimes at royal houses as cops appeal for ‘victim survivors’ to come forward

Former Prince Andrew is being investigated over potential sex crimes at royal residences — with cops appealing on Friday for “victim survivors” to come forward.

Investigators are keen to speak with a woman, who claimed Jeffrey Epstein sent her to have sex with Andrew at his now-former home Royal Lodge for “sexual purposes” in 2010 when she was in her 20s.

Thames Valley cops have not launched a criminal investigation yet, but have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
