Carney says ‘strands’ of a new world order could be woven at G7 summit

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney says the “strands” of a new world order could be woven at the G7 summit next week.

Carney made the remarks during a discussion at Trinity College Dublin while on a six-day trip to Europe.

In January, the prime minister delivered a speech in Davos calling on middle powers to band together in the face of great powers, which has received global reception.

The US and Iran have agreed a deal. How soon could things go back to normal?

The US and Iran have agreed a deal. How soon could things go back to normal?

More than two months after the US and Israel first began their war with Iran, the White House and the Iranian regime have agreed a framework deal to bring about a more long-term end to hostilities.

The Middle East crisis sent global oil prices soaring as the conflict effectively closed one of the world’s key water transport routes for oil, liquid natural gas and other essential commodities, limiting global supplies.

But experts warn a return to normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will take time, and the impact of the war will continue to affect the global economy for potentially months to come.

Nothing Discourages Entrepreneurship Like Overpaid Government Jobs

Nothing Discourages Entrepreneurship Like Overpaid Government Jobs

In a bygone era civil servants often spoke of their dedication to public employment as a form of sacrifice. Government work offered stability, but rarely the salaries, bonuses, opportunities, or prestige available in private enterprise. It was regarded as a civic vocation and a service to the common good.

In Canada, such claims are now detached from reality. Today, public-sector positions offer salaries, pensions, benefits, and job security that often exceed what comparable workers in the private economy can expect to earn. In some sectors, government and Crown corporation employment has become not merely competitive with private enterprise, but superior to it in compensation, stability, and lifestyle.

The nation at war: There will be Belfasts across Europe, too

The nation at war: There will be Belfasts across Europe, too

The images of riots in the United Kingdom are not a passing nuisance. They are a warning in flames. For decades, detached political elites have imposed a radical demographic and cultural transformation across Europe under the banner of progressivism. This has targeted the very core of our civilisation. Traditional values, nuclear family, Christian faith: They are relentlessly undermined. Indigenous populations are forced to watch the destruction of their homelands. With millions of new poor and nobody safe anymore, violent reaction is to be expected.

Doctors Without Borders Traded Food for Sex to Underage Girls

Doctors Without Borders Traded Food for Sex to Underage Girls

Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres under its French name is one of the larger left-wing ‘global aid’ NGOs intertwined with the UN and which function as the best friends of Islamic terrorists.

In between the usual preening fundraisers for more aid (give us money or the children will die) and parroting Islamic terrorist propaganda (every air strike on terrorists actually kills babies), Doctors Without Borders were doing the usual thing that ‘professional humanitarians’ do in war zones.

Minneapolis to Hampshire: Mass Derangement to Murder

Minneapolis to Hampshire: Mass Derangement to Murder

It’s ironic how the lies related to George Floyd’s death led to murder in Great Britain. They will probably finally lead to the ouster of Keir Starmer and the ravaging of the UK’s Labour Party which bought those lies and capitalized on them.

George Floyd, a lifelong criminal and narcotic addict, died of fentanyl poisoning, but in a disgusting miscarriage of justice, his death while in custody was used to imprison innocent law enforcement officers, fund the crooked Black Lives Matter, and justify countless riots, which mostly harmed black citizens and put black-owned enterprises out of business.

The climate scaremongers: The empty promise of green jobs

THE Government has signed up to a legal target to cut the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by 87 per cent by 2040, Ed Miliband has announced.

The rather bland press release from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) states: ‘Families and businesses across the UK will continue to reap the benefits of the clean energy transition, as the Government sets a new emissions target to further protect family finances, grow the economy and tackle the climate crisis.

Doctor Who was destroyed by wokeness

Doctor Who was destroyed by wokeness

It was once the jewel in the tarnished crown of the BBC – remember those Christmas idents of 2009, when David Tennant charmed a devoted nation with his reindeer-drawn TARDIS? But this week, the BBC announced that not even its heralded ‘festive special’ would go ahead. As it stands, the show’s future looks uncertain, with the BBC reported to be inviting production companies to pitch for a role potentially co-producing a new series.

Amy Hamm: Debra Soh’s Sextinction shows us how lonely our future might be

Amy Hamm: Debra Soh’s Sextinction shows us how lonely our future might be

In Aldous Huxley’s seminal Brave New World, published in 1932, the author imagined what terrible things advancing technologies might do to mankind. In Huxley’s created world, set in 2540, human beings are grown in labs — but not due to any cultural aversion to sex. The culture is hypersexual: the totalitarian government uses a slogan, “everyone belongs to everyone else” to brainwash its citizenry into a collectivist identity that makes taboo monogamy and even motherhood. Regular and extreme promiscuity are the norm, in Huxley’s world.

The stats that shame New York: NYPD reveals shocking toll of bloodshed as Knicks’ historic title win plunged the city into meltdown

The NYPD has released a full rundown of the shameful scenes that marred the Knicks’ NBA title win on Saturday night, with multiple fans shot, stabbed and slashed in the chaos.

New York ended its 53-year wait for an NBA championship in San Antonio, but the real party took place back in the Big Apple, as millions of fans took to the streets into the early hours of Sunday morning.

While many did their best to stay out of trouble, others went looking for it and a shocking series of videos showed fans ripping apart school buses, fighting with riot police and smashing up cop cars near Times Square.

What a Zoo!

Chronically ill people are turning to MAID for a dignified death. Why can’t we give them a dignified life?

Chronically ill people are turning to MAID for a dignified death. Why can’t we give them a dignified life?

When is it enough?

This question has often run through my head. Maybe it’s the question everyone living with chronic illness asks themselves at certain times. Which is to say, “What is a good life? What is a life worth living?”

For 40 years I’ve lived with Type 1 diabetes. There have been good years and bad years. Complications, some challenging, most manageable, built up over time. Then, four years ago I developed long COVID. Diabetes was plenty to manage. Long COVID’s neurological effects took living with disability to a whole other level. It was, at times, too much.

Europe’s cities have turned into suburbs of the Horn of Africa

Europe’s cities have turned into suburbs of the Horn of Africa

The orange lights of the street lamps, the wet asphalt, a black shadow savagely attacking a white body as if it were slitting a goat’s throat at the Mogadishu market. A video like this cannot be invented.

Instead, one thinks of those dark centuries we thought we had relegated to the margins of history, those times when heads were cut off to be displayed on bastions and the “defeated” were mutilated so that their flesh would speak louder than their deaths.

And I wondered if our main weakness has not become the inability to recognize barbarism when it appears before us.
