Escaping Trudeau’s ‘lost decade’ — why Western self-determination is the only cure for Ottawa’s toxic elitism

From Mark Carney’s globalist agenda to the ‘climate crisis’ charade, the West is ready to choose dignity and prosperity over the growing mess of the Canadian state.

One of the pleasures of writing columns for the Western Standard is receiving feedback. A recent email from a former law school roommate posed some interesting and relevant questions that, while unable to answer, this column can perhaps provide some perspective and context.

One addressed geography — would independence be just Alberta or also include Saskatchewan and Manitoba? To that, I would include parts of British Columbia.

Email proves Charles was warned about his brother’s ‘secret deals’

King Charles was warned as long ago as 2019 that the Royal Family’s name was being ‘abused’ by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s business associations, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

In a bombshell email, a whistleblower told the Palace that the former Duke had secret financial links to controversial millionaire financier David Rowland, who was abusing his royal links.

Messages seen by this newspaper also appear to show that Andrew – who was sensationally arrested on Thursday over suspicions of misconduct in public office – allowed Mr Rowland to effectively join in with his official duties.

Andrew and Charles may both kill the Monarchy.

Canada’s high housing costs are a preview of what Democrats want for America

Building houses is still affordable; it’s the layers of government that make buying a house prohibitively expensive.

I was driving last week in Toronto, Canada, with the radio on, half-listening to the usual talk‑show chatter, when a guest said something that made me turn up the volume. The host on CFRB 1010 in Toronto was interviewing Richard Lyall, the longtime president of the Residential Construction Council of Ontario. Lyall is not a politician, not an activist, not a partisan warrior. He’s a construction‑industry veteran who has spent more than three decades studying the cost of building homes in Canada. And what he said was stunning in its simplicity.

Ayatollah names proxy as new anti-government protests erupt

Iran’s supreme leader has appointed a top national security official as caretaker of the regime in case of a targeted killing, reports say, as protests among students erupted in Tehran for the first time since last month’s deadly crackdown.

Under threat of assassination and strikes by the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei went into hiding and was reported to have chosen Ali Larijani, 67, to run the country as his successor.

The Ryan Wedding case grows: 5 key takeaways from new U.S. evidence against the ex-Olympian and his alleged Ontario associates

U.S. prosecutors have unveiled a new trove of evidence against alleged drug kingpin Ryan Wedding and several Canadian associates, revealing how, after the assassination of a key federal witness, authorities doubled down on dismantling his drug empire in the lead-up to his arrest last month.

The records were filed in a Canadian court this week as the United States moves to extradite several of Wedding’s co-conspirators, and as those alleged associates continue to face bail hearings.

Violence erupts in Mexico after drug lord El Mencho killed

A wave of violence has broken out in Mexico after the country’s most wanted drug baron was killed in an operation seeking his arrest.

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”, was the leader of the feared Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) drug cartel and died after being seriously injured in clashes between his supporters and the army on Sunday.

Four CJNG members were killed during the operation in the town of Tapalpa, in the central-western Jalisco state, and three army personnel were also injured, the Mexican defence ministry said.

This is funny.

OMG Not The COSTCO!

J.D. Tuccille: The American youth marinating in ‘assassination culture’

If you think American politics are violent now, just wait a few years. While not exactly daily occurrences, assassinations and attempted assassinations, arsons, and ideologically fuelled brawls have become sufficiently commonplace that many escape the public’s notice. Americans overall have become not just more tolerant, but even supportive of resolving political disputes with violence. But research shows that those most inclined towards violence are younger people marinating in an “assassination culture” that normalizes physical attacks to resolve disagreements. That bodes poorly for the future.

Canadians unmoved by employer labour shortage claims tied to foreign worker program

Canadians are showing little sympathy for employers who claim they cannot find workers and must turn to foreign labour, according to new federal research that suggests public sentiment on immigration is hardening.

A 2025 annual tracking study commissioned by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada found focus group participants were largely unconvinced by arguments that lowering immigration levels would hurt businesses dependent on migrant workers.

When the English were the boat people

THE British artist Ford Madox Brown was born in 1821 in Calais. The Madox Brown family moved back and forth between the Continent and Kent several times.

Ford Madox Brown finally settled in London in 1844. The Last of England was completed in 1855. It depicts an imagined scene in which a husband and wife gaze aft from a boat. The coast behind them is Kent, as denoted by the white cliffs. The faces are those of Madox Brown and his second wife, Emma Hill.

The boat on which the couple sail is named the Eldorado. El Dorado is a mythical city of gold situated somewhere in South America.

NDP leadership candidates look inward as their party crumbles around them

Politics is a business of addition but this week New Democrat leadership candidates demonstrated they’re focused on subtraction.

Gone are the prospects of forming a government. Former leader Jack Layton’s 2011 orange wave, with 103 seats and a presence in every region of the country, may go down as the unfulfilled beachhead.

The biggest hurdle — obvious to anyone watching the NDP leadership debate Thursday or its more disastrous fall debate — is the painful to inadequate level of French the candidates demonstrated.

Why Randy Fine Is Right – And Why His Critics Are Avoiding the Real Issue

The backlash against Congressman Randy Fine for speaking plainly about Islam exposes the West’s central contradiction. Politicians routinely claim they oppose sharia, yet condemn anyone who actually recognizes what sharia is.

Mr. Fine wrote on X: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

This followed a post by the leader of one of the key Islamic groups that supported the new Mayor of New York City. She wrote: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”
