Think taxes are too high in the EU? You must be a conspiracy theorist, according to the EC

The European Commission is being ridiculed for a meme portraying people critical of the European Union’s development as conspiracy theorists.

On May 7, the EC’s official account on social network X posted a picture contrasting the supposed reality in Europe – symbolised by an orderly a street in central Paris – with the perspective through the goggles of a tinfoil-hat wearing conspiracy nut.

Carney luvs the EU!

Jamie Sarkonak: Progressive judge spares violent loan shark criminal record to avoid deportation

Jamie Sarkonak: Progressive judge spares violent loan shark criminal record to avoid deportation

Last month, it wasn’t just a judge who excused a Ghanaian work permit holder for beating a woman in the street over an unpaid loan. It was also the Crown prosecutor.

The 34-year-old, known only as E.A. due to a publication ban, admitted to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that he lured a woman who owed him money into a basement to demand repayment. The victim’s account was that, at this point, he put her in a choke hold, tried to rape her and took her phone as collateral, but in court only the phone theft was established to have occurred. (E.A. had countered that there was no attempted raping or choking, that the woman had a motive to fabricate such a story, and that the woman chased him out).

The Hollywoke Strain

The Hollywoke Strain

The late great author Michael Crichton gave Hollywood one of its biggest franchises, Jurassic Park — still going strong — and the television monster hit ER. Most of his novels became major films, including The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Rising Sun, and Timeline. Yet today, were Crichton a live white male instead of a dead one (he died in 2008), producers would ban him for having opposed their woke mind virus before it metastasized.

No one is wondering that it will be a woke mess. It just is.

CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s costly climate gamble on food needs to end

CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s costly climate gamble on food needs to end

For years, Canadians were told that catastrophic climate scenarios justified virtually any policy imposed in the name of emissions reductions. In agriculture and food, this translated into mounting costs across the supply chain, escalating industrial carbon pricing, and a policy environment increasingly disconnected from affordability and competitiveness.

Now, quietly, the scientific conversation is evolving.

Theodore Dalrymple, Truth-Teller

Theodore Dalrymple, Truth-Teller

The most important lessons are usually learned from experience.

Occasionally, an author whose experience has imparted vivid, deep, and durable lessons emerges to share them with the rest of us. That is precisely what Theodore Dalrymple, the pen name of Anthony Daniels, has done with his remarkable book, Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass.

Dalrymple spent his career as a doctor in places most of us would rather avoid: prison wards, inner city hospitals, and the crumbling neighborhoods that feed them. There, he saw poverty at its most corrosive—an affliction involving not merely a shortage of money but of meaning, responsibility, and hope.

Economic growth now tops environment as priority in energy policy, poll suggests

Economic growth now tops environment as priority in energy policy, poll suggests

OTTAWA – More Canadians now say economic growth should be a bigger priority in Canada’s energy policy than protecting the environment, a new Angus Reid Institute report suggests.

The pollster released a report today that suggests 61 per cent of Canadians now see economic growth as the biggest priority in energy policy.

That’s a shift in public opinion since seven years ago, when the same question had 55 per cent of Canadians saying that the environment should be the top priority in energy policy.


And Carney is just the man to lie to your face about it.

Erdogan’s Turkey: The NATO Member That Sponsors Terrorism

Erdogan’s Turkey: The NATO Member That Sponsors Terrorism

For years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been playing a sleazy double game: presenting himself to the West as a regional mediator and responsible NATO ally while simultaneously transforming Turkey into a sanctuary for Hamas terrorists outside the Gaza Strip.

New revelations emerging from Israeli security investigations have shattered any illusion that Turkey’s relationship with Hamas is limited to “political support” or “diplomatic engagement.” The evidence increasingly points to a situation far more alarming: Turkey has become a primary operational, logistical, and financial hub for Hamas’s global terror infrastructure.

Thirty federal cases affected after Toronto police officers charged in Project South probe

Roughly 30 federal prosecutions have been affected by criminal charges against Toronto Police Service officers allegedly tied to a sweeping police corruption probe, according to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

The PPSC confirmed the number of affected cases after The Globe and Mail obtained internal e-mails through an access to information request, which included lists of cases involving officers who were charged in connection to the Project South probe.

The warship that makes a mockery of the British navy

The warship that makes a mockery of the British navy

In 35 years at sea, HMS Iron Duke only ever fired her guns in anger a handful of times. She did so to hit a gun battery during the war against Colonel Gaddafi in Libya in 2011, and before that while seizing drugs in the Caribbean in 2009.

For a Type 23 frigate, designed in the 1980s to take on the might of the Soviet navy, it was small-scale stuff. But at a time when the Cold War seemed long over, it was a reminder that a well-resourced navy still had its uses.

They bought identical cars and have flawless driving records. So why is his insurance $649 more?

They bought identical cars and have flawless driving records. So why is his insurance $649 more?

Bernie Wasserman and his wife recently gave themselves the ultimate gift for their golden years: matching cars.

When their insurance provider finalized the policies on their new Infiniti QX50 sport SUVs, which were identical apart from colour, the paperwork didn’t add up.

The Vaughan couple requested exactly the same coverage.


Why even ask? The costs associated with migrant crime and their poor driving records are passed on to the consumer. Unfortunately all men are tarred by the same brush and deemed to be a higher risk.

Uniparty politics FAILS in UK… still working in Canada though

Uniparty politics FAILS in UK… still working in Canada though

Ever since the electoral reforms of the mid-19th century, the Mother of All Parliaments — the Westminster Parliament of the so-called United Kingdom — has been dominated by a party of the left(ish) and one of the right(ish). The latter calls itself “Conservative”. The “Liberal” party, as the former was known when W.S. Gilbert wrote those lyrics was supplanted in 1924 by the Labour Party, which, under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, is now having its turn at bat.
