OTTAWA – The cancellation of a planned event at York University has led some Conservative MPs to accuse students there of attacking free speech.
Conservative MP Garnett Genuis says he was denied permission to hold an event on campus on Friday.
But the York University Student Centre says its decision was “not politically motivated in any way” and the event simply didn’t meet its requirements.
The married Tren de Aragua gangbangers who were shot after they tried to mow down ICE agents in Portland were let loose by the Biden administration despite lengthy rap sheets, Homeland Security officials said.
A CBP agent opened fire on Venezuelan gangsters Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras after they “weaponized” their car fleeing a traffic stop Thursday, said a DHS statement.
An Ontario court has struck down part of a Mississauga bylaw that requires homeowners to keep their lawns below 20 centimetres, in a victory for natural gardeners who argue the municipal rules violate charter rights.
Residents have the freedom to express themselves through their front lawns, Superior Court Justice Michael Doi ruled this week in the case of Wolf Ruck versus the City of Mississauga.
Any hope the people of Minnesota had that things would quiet down in their state following revelations of widespread and deep corruption tied to Somali scams has evaporated by now. The Trump administration has been flooding the state and the city of Minneapolis with people from all levels of the federal government and just about every major agency, all determined to assess the extent of the depravity.
Canada could be hit hardest by U.S. political upheaval, report warns
A new global risk assessment is warning that no country would be more “profoundly affected” by a political upheaval in the U.S. than Canada.
Published Monday, the Eurasia Group’s “Top Risks For 2026″ report cites deep economic, security and geographic ties that leave Canada especially exposed to instability south of the border.
Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, identifies what it calls a potential U.S. “political revolution” – driven by U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to consolidate power, “capture the machinery of government, and weaponize it against his enemies” – as the most significant threats to global stability this year.
Carney’s wife worked at Eurasia as does Butts. I’m sure they are well hedged against any anticipated market downturn this report may cause.
A throng of left-wing Hollywood celebrities have jumped to social media to accuse Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of “murder” in the wake of the death of a Minnesota anti-ICE activist.
Star Wars star Mark Hamill, for instance, called the incident “sickening” and exclaimed that “This is not law enforcement. This is murder.”
French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to make Canada the “51st state” as an example of American foreign policy that is sacrificing allies for “the law of the strongest.”
Macron’s blunt remarks were matched by similar comments from German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a separate speech that showed European leaders’ growing concern as Trump seeks to impose U.S. dominance over the Western Hemisphere, including actions in Venezuela and threats of a potential U.S. takeover of Greenland.
Huge crowds of protesters have been marching through Iran’s capital and other cities, videos show, in what is said to be the largest show of force by opponents of the clerical establishment in years.
The peaceful demonstrations in Tehran and the second city of Mashhad on Thursday evening, which were not dispersed by security forces, can be seen in footage verified by BBC Persian.
Later, a monitoring group reported a nationwide internet blackout.
I cannot wait to visit Tehran.
Persia is of our world’s greatest cultures. Iran has been almost half a century under this oppressive theocracy.
Wishing you all every success. Good luck out there.
I do not understand the lack of our coverage here. But we still hear you.

I’m not afraid. I’ve been dead for 47 years this is the voice of a woman in Iran who is fed up with the Islamic republic.
47 years ago, the Islamic Republic took our rights and turned a nation into hostages.
Today people have nothing left to lose, they rise.

A federal Conservative member of Parliament from Manitoba says Ontario Premier Doug Ford didn’t have “all the facts in front of him” when he doubled down on threats to pull Crown Royal off shelves.
MP James Bezan, who represents the Selkirk-Interlake-Eastman riding north of Winnipeg, where the whisky is distilled, said Thursday he spoke with Ford on the matter after the premier once again said he would remove Crown Royal from Liquor Control Board of Ontario listings.
“I had to present some of those facts that Crown Royal is proudly made-in-Manitoba whisky. It’s Canada’s number 1 export spirit,” Bezan said.
Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.
Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Macklin Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE agent with her vehicle.
Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.
OTTAWA — They’re doing the best they can with the tools they’re provided.
That was the message Thursday from Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw, as he and Toronto Police Service Board Shelley Carroll responded to last week’s letter from Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner demanding police do more to crack down on increasingly hateful anti-Israel protests in the city.
When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn’t the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there’s plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whose province is home to much of Canada’s auto industry, is warning the Prime Minister against reducing the 100-per-cent tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles during Mark Carney’s trip to Beijing next week.
He said China should instead set up EV factories in Ontario. A Chinese EV-maker opened an electric-bus assembly plant in Newmarket, Ont., in 2019, for instance.
Greenlanders are using Donald Trump’s threats to take the world’s biggest island by force to push for independence from Denmark.
The Arctic territory’s main opposition party has described the current situation a “window of opportunity”, claiming that Mr Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland could help accelerate a breakaway.
Juno Berthelsen, an MP and foreign policy spokesman for the leading opposition party Naleraq, said: “We’ve been seeking independence for many years now, and there’s a window of opportunity here for us, where we could actually go into a dialogue about concrete steps we can take to better Greenlandic people’s lives.”
Did the Liberal government lie about the effects of mass immigration, or simply get it wrong? It is almost certainly a heady mix of both. Canadians were told not to notice what was happening right in front of them, and they have every reason to be angry about the impact it had on their lives, most notably on affordability or the sudden emergence of shady “career” colleges in strip malls.
