The challenge of Islamism

After Iran’s despotic regime and its proxies have been defeated militarily and politically, the next war has already begun. That war will be fought not only with swords, but with words and speech. It against a virulent ideology masquerading as a theology: Islamism, the belief that Muslims must dominate the world and eliminate, or convert all non-Muslims.

In addition, there are also two on-going side wars. One is against Arab Palestinianism, a movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood and its offspring, Hamas, to kill Jews and destroy Israel. Its war-cry is “Globalize the Intifada;” its theme-song is “Death to Israel” its dream is martyrdom. For those who support it, it’s a raison d’etre. The second is against Hezbollah.

Youth jobless numbers paint a grim picture as Trump tariffs hit home … so why are the feds allowing more wage depressing migrants in under the TFW program?

Young Canadians, the country’s future workforce, are suffering most from a prolonged economic slowdown caused largely by the U.S. trade assaults on Canada.

Statistics Canada reported last week that Canada lost 84,000 jobs in February, one of the worst monthly job losses since the pandemic.

Young people aged 15 to 24 and men aged 25 to 54 suffered the worst job loss.


Yea blame it on Trump rather than on our insane mass immigration scam

Note that the misstep according to the Star’s “experts” is not increasing the immigration of more 3rd World Migrants

Canada slips further in World Happiness rankings continuing a decade-long downward trend … oddly coinciding with Liberal Party misrule

Heavy social media use has contributed to a stark decline in well-being among young people, with the effects particularly worrying in teenage girls in English-speaking countries — including Canada — and Western Europe, according to the World Happiness Report 2026 published Thursday.

The annual report, published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, also found that Finland is the happiest country in the world for the ninth year in a row, with other Nordic countries such as Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway ranking among the top 10 countries.

Canada, allies ready to ‘contribute to appropriate efforts’ on Strait of Hormuz blockage

Canada is ready to “contribute to appropriate efforts” to resume safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a significant artery in international shipping undergoing a “de facto closure” amid the war in Iran.

That’s according to a joint statement released Thursday, co-signed by Canada, the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan. The countries demanded that Iran halt its “threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the strait to commercial shipping.”

Antisemitism has reached alarming levels. Now what?

Yes, this is another column about antisemitism. If you’re wondering, why are they on about this again, have a peek at the news. If you’re grumbling – enough already! – maybe there’s a different question you should ask yourself.

Antisemitism is infecting daily life – violently and openly. But also more quietly, even silently. Each act, from microaggression to murder, fuses to create an atmosphere of normalcy for this hatred. And for the hated? Fear.


Keep pretending Islam can be reasoned with, that it can be integrated and before you know it Canada will be just like the UK or the Great White Banlieue! Nothing ever gets better with Islam.

Yo, Chuck! Remember When ‘Defender of the Faith’ Meant Something to a British Monarch?

Once upon a time in British history, the title ‘Defender of the Faith’ was something a British monarch carried proudly. The title goes back centuries and, in one of those ironic twists of fate, was awarded to the very king who later split from the church and the faith he was lauded for defending from the door-hammering, paper-hanging threat posed by one Martin Luther.

Drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live raise security concerns

Lockdowns at U.S. bases and a global security alert underscore concerns that Iranian retaliation could extend to officials on U.S. soil

U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above the Washington Army base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live, according to three people briefed on the situation. Officials have not determined where they came from, two of the people said.

The military is monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert level as the United States and Israel strike Iran, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. Multiple drones were spotted over Fort Lesley J. McNair on a single night in the last 10 days, the official said, prompting increased security measures and a meeting at the White House to discuss how to respond.

Here are Canada’s biggest points of leverage in tariff and trade talks with the U.S.

Carney Fades Away

While Canada’s economy is far more reliant on exports to the U.S. than vice versa, Canadian negotiators have crucial ammunition in their efforts to land a trade deal that reduces or eliminates tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Before Trump launched his tariff war, roughly 76 per cent of Canada’s exported goods went to the U.S., while just 17 per cent of U.S. exported goods were destined to Canada.

The U.S. hunger for Canadian exports exposes the falsehood in Trump’s repeated claims that his country doesn’t need anything from Canada. Meanwhile, U.S. industries have told the administration that cross-border trade is essential to their success.

As EV Market Stalls, Battery Makers Shift to Grids and Data Centers

Ford and others are converting battery factories to produce industrial and utility-scale energy storage

Makers of electric-vehicle batteries are pivoting to make energy storage for data centers and utilities, including the likes of Ford Motor

Battery manufacturers made significant investments in the U.S. in recent years, buoyed by policy support for EVs. That changed when President Trump’s administration took away carrots incentivizing EV buyers and did away with sticks that punished automakers for making gas-guzzlers. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence expects energy storage to make up 41% of total U.S. battery demand this year, up from 26% two years ago.

Alberta seeks to set limits on use of medically assisted dying

Alberta has proposed a bill that would limit the use of medically assisted dying – also known as voluntary euthanasia – in the Canadian province solely to end-of-life circumstances.

In 2021, Canada expanded access to medically assisted dying, known domestically by the acronym Maid, to people with serious, incurable illnesses or disabilities, even if their death is not reasonably foreseeable.

Canada is also due to expand access next year to people whose only medical condition is mental illness, though that has twice been delayed.

Conspiracy of silence on Cesar Chavez: Labor movement had to have known

The story of Cesar Chavez is a tragedy.

Not because his legacy as a union leader is forever tarnished by his alleged abuse and rape of women and underage girls over several decades.

Rather, it is a tragedy that not one of his victims believed she could come forward until now.

Some of those molested and assaulted by Chavez were too frightened to speak out. Others worried that they would not be believed, or that they would be humiliated, or blamed. And others feared that telling the truth about Chavez would hurt the political movement he led.
