Mohawk Territory Exploited in Transnational Firearms-Trafficking Case, U.S. Indictment Says

Mohawk Territory Exploited in Transnational Firearms-Trafficking Case, U.S. Indictment Says

AKWESASNE – A federal indictment unsealed in New Hampshire reads like a logistics manual for exploiting cartel-saturated borderlands.

But it is the northern border — the trilateral seam between Canadian, American, and Mohawk lands — and not notorious southern crossings like Laredo or San Diego, that is now drawing increased focus from United States weapons-trafficking agencies.

The truly staggering cost of ‘cheap’ renewable energy

The truly staggering cost of ‘cheap’ renewable energy

THE cost of renewables obligation subsidies has now topped £100billion, according to government statistics recently released.

Subsidy payments are increased in line with RPI every year, but at 2025 prices the bill since 2010 has now risen to £101.2billion. Last year alone, renewable generators received subsidies of £7.7billion. Two thirds go to wind and solar farms, which we are told are supposedly the cheapest forms of energy.

Canada Says Critics Don’t Understand Its Surveillance Bill

Canada Says Critics Don’t Understand Its Surveillance Bill

Canada’s Public Safety Minister is telling Apple, Meta, and Signal that they don’t understand his own surveillance bill. They understand it fine. That’s the problem.

Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, would force telecoms, internet companies, and social media platforms to rebuild their systems so police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) can access user data more easily during investigations.

The UFO files reveal a hidden truth about American society

The UFO files reveal a hidden truth about American society

On May 8, Pentagon officials began releasing previously classified material related to unidentified flying objects. The UFO files may not prove the existence of extraterrestrial life. But their publication is nonetheless a significant event. By creating a government-sanctioned repository of content that can be consulted for the truth about unknown intelligence, the U.S. government has offered support and recognition to a new kind of religion: belief in UFOs.

UFO belief is not a religion in the traditional sense. There are no centralized leaders: no popes, no universally recognized doctrines, no sacred text and no institution capable of enforcing orthodoxy. Yet it increasingly performs many of the functions historically attributed to religion. It organizes communities of belief, creates narratives of revelation, offers cosmological meaning and establishes interpretive frameworks through which people understand mysterious experiences and humanity’s place in the universe.

Present tense: Many Canadian Jews have lost their sense of belonging in a country they no longer recognize

Present tense: Many Canadian Jews have lost their sense of belonging in a country they no longer recognize

Talia Klein Leighton compares being a Canadian Jew since October 7 to a frog in a pot of boiling water.

“Every time I wake up and I realize that the water’s getting hotter, somebody greases the bowl,” Leighton, president of Canadian Women Against Antisemitism, told National Post. “The level of tolerance that this country seems to have adopted in terms of antisemitism is breathtaking.”


Not to minimize your concerns but welcome to my world.

Ukrainian seller of chemical used in suicide kits ‘regularly’ selling to Canada

TORONTO – A Ukrainian seller of a toxic chemical used in suicide kits who was exposed in a British investigative report years ago appears to still be in business, claiming he’s “regularly” selling to Canada, a W5 investigation has found.

The man, identified by the BBC in 2024 as Leonid Zakutenko, was using the same website and even the same phone number, years after police in both the United Kingdom and Ukraine were alerted to the trade.

And now a word from the Laurentian elite

And now a word from the Laurentian elite

Canada is one of history’s most successful countries. Here’s a look at who’s trying to destroy it, and how

The recorded history of Canada stretches back more than 500 years; the unrecorded history, many thousands.

It is one of the world’s oldest continuously existing democracies, with a Constitution whose principal features – monarchical, federal, parliamentary, with an independent judiciary and (ahem) an unelected Senate – have remained unchanged since 1867.


Your kids can’t get a decent job or afford a home.

You can’t find a doctor and the waiting list seems longer every day.

Taxes are through the roof yet our so called government dumps truckloads of tax payer dollars into sinkholes foreign and domestic while you worry about whether to eat or heat.

And your hometown is overrun by migrants who hate you and the Canada you helped build.

Who couldn’t want more of that Mr. Coyne?

Stopping the boats shouldn’t require magical thinking

Stopping the boats shouldn’t require magical thinking

The BBC’s tracking-down of Kardo Ranya as a people-smuggling mastermind is a triumph of investigative journalism. But anyone who thinks this will seriously help ‘smash the gangs’ is deluded. As the drugs trade illustrates, where there is demand there will be supply.

What’s to be done? Imagine you were the party leader of a mainstream British political party. Daydreaming, you see a vision – pouffe! A bang and a flash, and there stands the Fairy Queen herself. ‘What, oh party leader,’ she demands, ‘is your heart’s desire?’
