Zelensky gives stark warning as EU leaders start crunch talks on Russia’s frozen cash

Volodymyr Zelensky is urging European Union leaders gathered at a crunch summit in Brussels to loan billions of euros in frozen Russian money to fund Ukraine’s military and economic needs.

Most of Russia’s €210bn (£185bn; $245bn) worth of assets in the EU are held by Belgium-based organisation Euroclear, and so far Belgium and some other members of the bloc have said they are opposed to using the cash as a “reparations loan”.

Russia has warned the EU not to use its money, but without a boost in funding Ukraine’s finances are set to run dry in a matter of months.

“I hope we will be able to get a positive decision,” Zelensky told reporters. “Without this there will be a big problem for Ukraine”.

U.S. trade rep says access to Canada’s dairy market key to CUSMA review

Canada will have to increase access to the United States when it comes to dairy products as part of a renegotiated U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told members of the U.S. Congress on Thursday that concerns related to dairy market access in Canada and its exports of certain dairy products are part of a “non-exhaustive” list of issues that need to be addressed as part of the six-year joint review of the trade agreement.

Greer said that while several stakeholders expressed support and explicitly called for the agreement to be extended, “virtually all stakeholders also called for some sort of improvement to the Agreement.”

Canada records first population drop since pandemic: StatCan

Canada’s population dropped by about 76,000 from July to October, according to federal estimates, in a decrease largely attributed to immigration policy.

Statistics Canada published its preliminary Q3 report Wednesday morning, which estimated Canada’s population to be 41,575,585 as of Oct. 1.

The main factor was a sharp reduction in non-permanent residents, whose numbers dropped by 176,479 – the largest drop since comparable records began, wrote the agency.


Cripes Liberal media is playing this up like the country will be empty next week.

Woke authorities release illegal immigrant after his truck crash killed hardworking dad-of-two

Woke Washington state authorities were slammed after releasing an illegal immigrant truck driver accused of killing a father-of-two in a horror crash.

Indian national Kamalpreet Singh, 25, allegedly drove his semi-truck into the stopped car of Robert Pearson, 29, on December 11, killing the beloved father.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer for Singh following his arrest after it was found he was in the country illegally, but Washington authorities refused to honor the order.

Jamie Sarkonak: He was caught with child porn. An immigration discount helped him stay in Canada

When permanent resident Navinder Singh was caught with child pornography on his phone in 2018, he didn’t understand what was so wrong about it. He thought that his 19 videos of sexual abuse were “funny” and told a forensic psychologist afterward that things “were different in India.”

Without any details — it gets worse — this alone would tell any regular Canadian that Singh was incompatible with our society. But at every step of the way, the system has fought hard to keep him in Canada. By 2024, he was still here, fighting deportation, and it’s very possible that he remains. His case highlights the many failure points at which the immigration system fails to keep criminal perverts out of the country.

‘First black Briton’ honoured by BBC was actually white

The “first black Briton” honoured by BBC was actually white, a new genetic study has shown.

In 2016, the series Black and British: A Forgotten History, suggested that the Roman skeleton of a woman found at Beachy Head was from sub-Saharan Africa.

A plaque was erected to commemorate her heritage, which was later removed when a study suggested the woman was more likely to be from Cyprus, with a Mediterranean complexion.

Canada’s Statistical Agency Wants More Details on “Nonbinary Children”

Wall of Transgender Heroines

Statistics Canada plans to publish data on minors’ gender identity.

On December 8, members of the Toronto chapter of Pflag—a volunteer group dedicated to “creating a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them”—received an unusual email. The organization said that while it rarely shares survey requests from third parties, it was making an exception for a “trusted partner”: Statistics Canada.

The federal statistical agency published “gender-identity” data for people 15 and older in 2022. But many Canadians may not know that it has also collected this information for children aged 0 to 14. Now, the agency wants input on how to present this data publicly. The email sent to Pflag solicited parental feedback on how to “produc[e] and releas[e] information on transgender and non-binary children and youth.”


The world must think Canada a very degenerate nation.

Next we will offer MAID to children who seek to de-transition.

Multiculturalism is the West’s shattered mosaic

In the waning days of 2025, the once-celebrated ideal of multiculturalism lies in tatters, exposed by a cascade of violent incidents and societal fractures across Europe, the U.K., and beyond.

The brutal attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Dec. 14, 2025, where a gunman targeted a Hanukkah celebration, killing several and injuring dozens, serves as a grim emblem of this failure.

Described by witnesses as an act of Islamic terror, the incident — perpetrated by a 24-year-old Australian-born son of a long-term migrant — has ignited furious debates about unchecked immigration and cultural integration.
