IRGC Proxy Commander Directed Attack on United States Consulate in Toronto, Plotted to Bomb New York Synagogue, and Paid for Terrorist Strikes Across Europe Through Mafias

WASHINGTON — A senior commander for Kata’ib Hizballah — the Iraqi proxy militia of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — directed a sprawling international terrorist campaign that included an attack on the United States consulate in Toronto, paid operatives across Europe and Canada to carry out bombings and arsons against Jewish and American targets, and attempted to hire what he believed was a Mexican cartel operative to set fire to synagogues in New York, Los Angeles, and Arizona, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Friday in the Southern District of New York.

Actor Refuses to Push Politics, Triggering ‘The View’

Actor Refuses to Push Politics, Triggering ‘The View’

Hollywood has been pushing Progressive talking points so loudly and relentlessly, and for so many years now, that it’s easy for conservatives to forget that not everyone in the industry is a frothing Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer like Robert DeNiro or Mark Hamill. A small minority of “above-the-line” figures (the “creatives”: actors, directors, etc.) are openly conservative, and then there are some who just aren’t into politics – like Billy Bob Thornton.

Inside Canada’s sluggish process for deporting senior Iranian officials

Inside Canada’s sluggish process for deporting senior Iranian officials

On the first day of his recent deportation hearing, Abbas Omidi found himself at loggerheads with the government lawyer arguing for his removal from Canada.

At issue was not his loyalty to the repressive Iranian regime, his employer for nearly 27 years. And no one was suggesting he was involved in violent crackdowns on protesters.

Antiracism is poisoning British policing

Antiracism is poisoning British policing

Yesterday, Lord Daniel Hannan tweeted: “A man is stabbed to death by someone who accuses him of being a racist — and the first thing the police do on arrival is to handcuff the dying man.” Hannan speaks to a kind of “reverse Stephen Lawrence syndrome”, whereby conservative commentators view police as institutionally biased against white people. In 1999, the Macpherson Report into Lawrence’s murder was published, finding the Metropolitan Police liable for “institutional racism” in its handling of the case.

Conrad Black: How to give new purpose to Canada and Britain

Conrad Black: How to give new purpose to Canada and Britain

The world is nostalgic for a respected Britain, is waiting for a mature Canada, and India is surging. Instead of Britain standing outside the door of Europe and Canada and India shivering in the shadow of America or China, and the Anzacs alone at the end of the earth, we should collaborate, for our collective good and for the stability in the world. The United Kingdom is floundering through its seventh consecutive failed government and is attempting to redefine its secession from the European Union by creeping backwards toward it, having almost severed its alliance with the United States by equivocating between that country and Iran, the world‘s greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the current conflict. At the same time, Prime Minister Mark Carney has assigned Canada and himself the role of rounding up disgruntled, so-called middle powers that harbour grievances against the United States, in particular, and getting them all to stand upon each other’s shoulders so that they will be taken more seriously in the chancelleries of the world. Both the U.K. and Canada have been thrust into these improbable vocations by prolonged mismanagement of their own foreign relations and national interests.

The Great Green Hypocrite: Newly-elected councillor ‘Baggy’ Khan drives a gas guzzling Lamborghini, runs a second-hand car dealership AND a haulage firm. His pitch to voters? I stand with Palestine

The Great Green Hypocrite: Newly-elected councillor ‘Baggy’ Khan drives a gas guzzling Lamborghini, runs a second-hand car dealership AND a haulage firm. His pitch to voters? I stand with Palestine

Resplendent in his wedding finery at the wheel of a bright orange £270,000 Lamborghini Huracán Spyder, he looked, as one supporter commented on Instagram, like the ‘King of Bolton’.

At the age of just 25, sharply dressed entrepreneur Mohammad Baghdadi ‘Baggy’ Khan – who runs multiple businesses – was last week elected as Green councillor for the Bolton ward of Halliwell, where he enjoys rapturous support from many residents.

But his local acclaim quickly turned to national mockery when, just days after his victory, Khan posted the video – thought to be from 2023 – showing him driving the gas–guzzling, 5.2–litre supercar, which has a top speed of 200mph.

MACLEOD: From licenced citizen to ‘gun grab’ criminal

MACLEOD: From licenced citizen to ‘gun grab’ criminal

I’m old enough to remember a time when owning a firearm in Alberta was simply a part of our lives. Farmers carried rifles in the back of the truck. Hunters taught their kids firearm safety before they taught them to drive. Sport shooting clubs operated openly and responsibly. We knew the difference between a .22 short, .22 Long, and .22 LR before our tenth birthday. Firearms were simply tools, traditions, and hobbies. In Alberta, owning a variety of guns was never viewed as offensive or radical. It was, and remains, completely normal.

French Cities Rocked by Surge in Drug-Linked Violence

French Cities Rocked by Surge in Drug-Linked Violence

For several weeks, France has been experiencing a series of violent incidents, particularly affecting major cities and their outskirts. Shootings, gang-related killings, attacks involving minors—recent events are fuelling a sense that crime is now out of control and that armed violence is becoming increasingly commonplace. In the space of a few weeks, several cases have made the headlines: the murder of a 13-year-old boy in Villefranche-sur-Saône in April, the shooting that left the Moulins district of Nice bloodied on May 11th, and most recently, the death of a 15-year-old boy in Nantes during a shooting on Thursday, May 14th. These are no longer isolated incidents but rather a significant trend: the grip of drug trafficking on cities, made possible by the growing involvement of minors, is colliding with the authorities’ inability to tackle either the causes or the consequences of this crisis head-on.

Jamie Sarkonak: When Indigenous rights come before your democratic rights

Jamie Sarkonak: When Indigenous rights come before your democratic rights

If the goal of Alberta Court of King’s Bench Justice Shaina Leonard was to fuel the separatist fire, she’s doing an exquisite job.

On Wednesday, Leonard quashed a petition that separatists in the province had organized to trigger an independence referendum in the fall. Why? Because the chief electoral officer who allowed the petition to go forth in the first place didn’t adequately consult the Indigenous peoples of the province.

America has a serious Chinese spying problem

America has a serious Chinese spying problem

President Donald Trump struck a conciliatory tone during his trip to China. He returned from his Beijing summit with Xi Jinping yesterday full of praise for the “great leader,” who is, in Trump’s estimations, “an incredible guy.” The summit was “very successful, world-renowned, and unforgettable,” according to the President, who insisted that “a lot of different problems were settled.” But there’s one problem that hasn’t been addressed: the growing number of Chinese operations on US soil.

Do we really expect young Canadians to wait until 2060 for affordable housing?

Do we really expect young Canadians to wait until 2060 for affordable housing?

Buried in a recent publication by Canada’s Federal Housing Advocate is one of the bleakest housing forecasts in recent memory: Many middle-income Canadians may have to wait until 2060 before adequate housing will be affordable for what they earn.

While I hope we can restore affordability somewhat faster, this honesty about what is realistically achievable is striking. Millennials, Gen Z and even many of today’s elementary school children are being told that Canada’s housing system will remain stacked against them for decades.


Carney don’t care. He’s going to give his pals all the cheap 3rd world labour they want.

Did China Take the Deal?

Did China Take the Deal?

At their joint press conference on Thursday, President Trump said that he and Xi were “united” when it came to Iran: no nukes, open the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian blackmail, and no Chinese weapons sales.

And while President Trump said before the summit he didn’t need Chinese help with Iran, after their initial meeting, he told Sean Hannity that China will help “in any way it can.”

If all of this comes true, it is very bad news for Tehran.

What is a ‘safe death’? Mentally ill woman asks for assisted dying in Canada

Claire Brosseau has travelled the world doing stand-up comedy and acting in television shows, films and plays. She has also been struggling with debilitating mental illness from a young age, and has been treated by psychiatrists in four major North American cities over three decades.

Brosseau has tried nearly every treatment available to people like herself with bipolar disorder and PTSD, she said, from behavioral therapy and medication to electric shocks to the brain.
