After decades of growth driven by diamond mining, Canada’s Northwest Territories are facing the closure of three major mines and wondering: What’s next?
Canada’s Northwest Territories got lucky twice.
At the turn of the 20th century, an epic gold rush established the capital, Yellowknife, and brought development to the vast, sparsely populated region dominated by boreal forests and Arctic tundra.
Then a hundred years later, just as underground gold reserves in the ground were depleting, prospectors found diamonds.
The Territories, with a surface area more than three times that of California, became the world’s third-largest exporter of diamonds.
Now that era is coming to a messy end.

The odds of President Donald Trump revealing what he knows about alien life have suddenly skyrocketed, leading experts to believe full public disclosure is days away.
A wagering pool on Polymarket called ‘Trump declassifies UFO files in 2025?’ has mysteriously exploded with activity, rising to over $7million bet, shifting the odds from six percent ‘Yes’ on December 6 to a staggering 98 percent Tuesday morning.
Polymarket is a popular online prediction platform where people bet on the outcomes of real-world events, such as elections, sports, or even UFO sightings, using cryptocurrency, turning speculation into a crowd-sourced probability meter.

A teacher has been sacked for reminding his pupils that Britain is a Christian country.
In modern Britain, even the mildest statement of reality can be enough to trigger a punitive pile-on. The Telegraph reported yesterday that a teacher was sacked, and very nearly banned from working with children, because he told his primary-school pupils that the UK was a Christian country.
The anonymous teacher found himself being referred to his local child-protection board and even at the centre of a police investigation after he told Muslim children off for washing their feet in the sinks of school bathrooms. According to one child who made a complaint against the teacher, he reminded the children that this was not a religious school, and that they were free to attend an Islamic school a mile away if they wanted to. He apparently also told them that Britain is still a Christian state and pointed out that the King was head of the Church of England. This was followed up in the classroom by a lesson about the importance of British values and tolerance.
Telegraph: Primary-school employee sacked after allegedly admonishing students for washing feet in sinks

The federal government assigned at least 577 employees to diversity, equity and inclusion programs last year, according to newly released records — though cabinet admitted the real number is higher because several major departments refused to report their staffing totals.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures were disclosed in an Inquiry Of Ministry prompted by Conservative MP Vincent Ho, who asked how many full-time equivalents were dedicated to DEI-related roles.

A man charged in two high-profile B.C. extortion incidents was living in Canada on an expired student visa at the time of his alleged crimes, according to court records.
CBC News has learned that Vikram Sharma was flagged by authorities weeks before attacks in Surrey and on Vancouver Island in 2024 because he allegedly relied on fraudulent documents in his bid to extend the visa that first allowed him into Canada in June 2022.
The 24-year-old — whose student visa expired in April 2024 — is currently believed to be in India.

President Trump has condemned European leaders as “weak” in a wide-ranging attack that criticised the “decaying” group of nations for being too politically correct and failing to control immigration.
“Europe doesn’t know what to do,” Trump said in an interview with Politico. “They want to be politically correct, and it makes them weak. That’s what makes them weak.”
The president also criticised European leaders for failing to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, saying: “They talk but they don’t produce. And the war just keeps going on and on. I mean, four years now it’s been going on, long before I got here.”
Full interview.

It’s a grand bargain that feels like a fire sale.
That at least is how some have characterized the Memorandum of Understanding on energy that was signed late last month by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

It has been clear for some months now that David Eby and the B.C. NDP’s approach to Indigenous reconciliation would have ruinous consequences for British Columbia’s economy. Last Friday, the situation got even worse, as a new court ruling poured more cold water on economic activity in the province and opened the door to every B.C. law being subject to interpretation through a United Nations human rights document. The implications for British Columbia could not be much more dire.

National Security Strategy warnings are motivated by desire to preserve Christian civilisation
One particular passage in America’s National Security Strategy, published last week, is causing meltdown in Britain and Europe and on the American left. Economic decline in Europe, said the NSS, is being eclipsed by “civilisational erasure”.
Some European countries are on course to become majority non-European. The EU and other transnational bodies are undermining political liberty and censoring free speech. Birth rates are cratering and national identities and self-confidence are being lost.
“Should present trends continue,” the NSS authors wrote, “the continent will be unrecognisable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies.”

Many members of the mayor-elect’s Committee on Community Safety have long histories of anti-law-enforcement radicalism.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wants to reimagine public safety in New York City. On the campaign trail, he promised to devote more than $1 billion to the “Department of Community Safety,” a new agency that will “tak[e] a public health approach to safety.”
But what will his agenda look like in practice? Late last month, the mayor-elect released the roster of his transition team’s Committee on Community Safety, a 26-person group that will advise him on criminal-justice and related issues. The list contains several activists who are not only openly hostile to law enforcement but also reject the very concept of carceral punishment.
These misspellings are deliberate.

Every once in a while, someone inside a tightly protected system decides to say the quiet part out loud. That is what Joel Fox, a dairy farmer from the Trenton area, did recently in the Ontario Farmer newspaper.
