The Invasion of Britain: The UK No Longer Belongs to Its Own People

The Invasion of Britain: The UK No Longer Belongs to Its Own People

“Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith,” Winston Churchill wrote of Islam in the late 1890s when he was still a young man.

“It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science — the science against which it had vainly struggled — the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

It now reads like a prophecy about the current fate of the country he led. Britain is falling – hard. Worse, the British government appears to be facilitating its fall.

JAY GOLDBERG: There never has been a better time for Carney to scrap Trudeau’s alcohol escalator tax

JAY GOLDBERG: There never has been a better time for Carney to scrap Trudeau’s alcohol escalator tax

The federal government’s undemocratic alcohol escalator tax is devastating Canada’s domestic alcohol industry.

With Prime Minister Mark Carney just having raised prices for Canadians by imposing a new wave of tariffs on U.S. goods entering Canada from the United States, there never has been a better time to axe the escalator tax.

ChatGPT Completely Nukes Kenya’s College Essay Writing Gig Economy

Artificial intelligence was supposed to liberate students from academic drudgery, letting them quickly access links and information across a wide array of subjects and make their scholarship smarter and more efficient.

However, as I noted in previous posts, AI has made academic dishonesty more prevalent, triggering a cascade of unintended consequences.

But not all of the consequences are bad.

Only 15,603 Chinese-made EVs have entered Canada under Carney-Xi deal

Only 15,603 Chinese-made EVs have entered Canada under Carney-Xi deal

Fewer than 16,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles have entered Canada since January under a trade deal struck between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of what Ottawa described as a “new strategic partnership” aimed at easing tensions and strengthening economic ties.

That’s less than one-third of the 49,000 Chinese-made EVs that Canada said would be allowed into this country in 2026 under the deal, which vastly reduced tariff rates. Beijing in turn agreed to scale back retaliatory tariffs on Canadian seafood, canola seed and other farm products.

Hoekstra says U.S. needs ‘our allies on board’ to counter terrorist threats

Hoekstra says U.S. needs ‘our allies on board’ to counter terrorist threats

The U.S. ambassador to Canada says his country needs their “allies on board” to counter terrorist threats that target Western democracies’ way of life.

Pete Hoekstra was in Gander, Nfld., on Friday to attend a memorial marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City. The people of Gander took in stranded passengers diverted to the province after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon disrupted air travel.

Good luck with that.

West Under More Threat Today Than 2001, Says MI5 Spy Boss

The director general of Britain’s domestic spy agency MI5 has warned while Al-Qaeda’s power to attack the West has been all but erased in the years since 9/11, the overall threat picture is now worse than in 2001 between new and innovative terror networks, lone wolf attackers, and state-sponsored terrorism.

Why Trump’s new tariffs pose a significant threat to 250,000 Toronto jobs

There are few cows in Toronto, but U.S. dairy tariffs pose a significant threat to jobs at local milk-product processors, according to an updated University of Toronto tariff-tracking tool.

Researchers updating a map from last October tracking U.S. tariff impacts on Canadian cities, released a major refresh on Wednesday that reveals the potentially crushing impacts of Trump’s new 50-per-cent levies on a host of Canadian imports.

Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer’s call to air traffic control

Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer’s call to air traffic control

On September 11, 2001, four al Qaeda terrorists hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 shortly after it departed Newark International Airport in New Jersey for San Francisco. The hijackers stormed the cockpit, overpowered the captain and first officer, and turned the Boeing 757 toward Washington, D.C.

As news of the attacks in New York spread among passengers, those aboard Flight 93 realized their plane was likely part of the terrorist operation. Shortly before 10 a.m., a group of passengers and crew members launched a counterattack and attempted to retake the cockpit as ground controllers listened in.

Orange Shirt Day founder says her truth is being ‘pushed aside’ by controversial shirts

Orange Shirt Day founder says her truth is being ‘pushed aside’ by controversial shirts

The founder of Orange Shirt Day says she was sick to her stomach when she learned orange shirts with slogans like “Dig deeper” and “Still no proof” were being sold online.

Holding back tears and speaking from Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc in B.C., which announced a discovery of potential unmarked graves near a former residential school site in 2021, Phyllis Webstad said her campaign was being used in a “hateful way.”

“I’ve been trying to understand why they believe that it’s OK to hurt people,” she said.

What nerve, there is no truth in the fake graves grift.

She should apologize to all parishioners whose churches were burned or otherwise vandalized.

Iran‑linked operators used Claude AI to target US naval bases: Anthropic

US-based artificial intelligence company Anthropic said it had identified and disrupted an Iran-linked account that used its Claude AI model to gather and analyse publicly available information on US naval assets and develop potential targeting recommendations.

According to Anthropic, the account used Claude to compile detailed “targeting handbooks” and track US naval positions using open-source information. The activity included the use of a Python pipeline developed with Claude’s assistance to monitor naval movements from publicly available data.

Canada’s Army formally made one of the biggest changes to its structure in decades Thursday by shifting from divisions based on geography to ones built around specific purposes.

Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Edmonton held a signing ceremony and parade to stand up the 1st Canadian Division, which will serve as the main force responsible for deploying on large-scale combat operations and responding to crises.

The Untold Pre-History of 9/11

The Untold Pre-History of 9/11

Standing on the 55th floor of One World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, Assistant Secretary of Transportation Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. gazed upon an audience of government and private-sector security professionals. His subject: the US government’s approach to the relatively recent phenomenon of terrorist hijacking. As the architect of the federal sky marshal program, Davis offered no easy assurances about the escalating threat. Fighting terror, he admitted, presented no quick solutions. Rather, it demanded constant vigilance, because, as Davis noted, “a great deal can be done before a tragedy demands the action that should have previously been taken.” Addressing the solemn room in the North Tower on September 11, 1974, Davis gave voice to the single greatest fear haunting the aviation industry: an airborne mass-casualty event.
