RCMP Clarifies Nature of Its Investigation Into Israel-Hamas Conflict

The federal police force clarified the nature of its investigation into the Israel-Hamas conflict after the probe sparked media coverage and raised concerns from pro-Israel advocates in response.

In an exclusive report on June 2, the Toronto Star said the RCMP was probing potential war crimes in the conflict, but wouldn’t share more details about the investigation. Referring to the claim, some Israeli media later said that the RCMP is investigating potential war crimes committed by Canadians serving in the Israeli military.
Reacting to the media coverage, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said it was “deeply concerning to read sensationalist reports” about the RCMP’s investigation and asked Ottawa to provide clarification.
I can’t say I believe them.

Canada’s costly NATO reminder: membership doesn’t come cheap

Membership has its privileges, as the old American Express advertisement promised. But it also has steep costs.

Canada faced a potential multibillion reminder of this as defence ministers gathered Thursday at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

They had come to set the stage for annual leaders’ summit in The Hague later this month where talk of defence spending will dominate the agenda.

Carney and Trump are holding direct talks to drop tariffs: sources

Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump are having direct discussions to reach a trade deal and lift tariffs, according to sources with knowledge of their talks.

It is unclear how often the two have communicated since Carney’s visit to the White House last month, but a source with direct knowledge of the calls said the conversations are aimed at reaching an agreement on the trade war launched by the U.S. against Canada.

Canadian cities are becoming more lawless than the U.S.

Despite Canada’s reputation as a safer version of the U.S., newly compiled data is showing that crime has worsened to the point where, on some metrics, Canadian cities are becoming more lawless than the U.S.

Americans are still getting shot and murdered at higher rates than Canadians, but when it comes to theft, carjackings and break-ins, figures show that some Canadian cities are doing worse than their American counterparts.

JAY GOLDBERG: Canada Post and illicit drugs: another reason to privatize a failing Crown corporation

There are many reasons to private Canada Post. The fact that cartels use the postal service to help facilitate the contraband drug trade should be one of them.

As Canadian consumers and small businesses are left in limbo about whether mail delivery will once again be interrupted by a strike for a lengthy period, as was the case last November, a new report shows a lesser-known danger of leaving Canada Post with a government-mandated monopoly.

Alberta is the answer to American energy dominance

In a world increasingly defined by energy affordability, geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty, the United States is once again talking about energy dominance.

President Trump has made it a central pillar of his agenda, vowing to “unleash American energy” to lower prices, strengthen the economy and restore U.S. global leadership. National Energy Dominance Council Chair Doug Burgum echoed that vision recently, arguing that U.S. energy dominance is the “foundation of American prosperity.”

Minister lacked details about CSIS operation linked to asset who reportedly smuggled teens

A federal watchdog agency found a breakdown of ministerial accountability after reviewing a clandestine operation abroad connected to claims a CSIS operative smuggled teenage girls into Syria to join ISIS.

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) released a heavily redacted version of a top-secret report last week. CBC News has now learned the case involving smuggling claims triggered the review into human source operations.

The report found CSIS failed to give the public safety minister enough details about an operation. A CSIS memo also didn’t convey past issues, and that a number of CSIS activities are “problematic and potentially unlawful,” to help guide his scrutiny of the proposed operation, the report said.

Surging Canadian pride in face of Trump’s insults sags after Canada’s federal election, poll finds

A surge in Canadian pride when Canada’s sovereignty and dignity were under assault from U.S. President Donald Trump has slumped back to normal levels after the federal election, according to a public opinion poll.

Last year — in May and again in November — 80 per cent of Canadians said they were proud to be Canadian in opinion polls, but patriotism surged this spring, climbing to 86 per cent in early March, during the lead-up to April’s federal election call.

The RCMP investigation on the Gaza war shows Canada’s approach to Israel could be changing

Canadian authorities are conducting an investigation into war crimes and other potential atrocities committed in the Israel-Hamas war. First reported by journalist Ben Mussett, the news comes amidst mounting evidence of the intentional starvation of civilians in Gaza, the refusal of Hamas to return hostages, moves to build new (and illegal) settlements in the West Bank, and open calls among Israeli leaders to depopulate Gaza. The RCMP investigation marks the first time that Canada has dedicated tangible resources to investigating international crimes in the Palestinian territories and Israel.

German, Norwegian officials urge Canada to join ‘familiar family’ in buying new submarines

Senior German and Norwegian defence officials say they’re confident Canada will sign on to the ReArm Europe plan in the coming weeks and such a move will make it easier for the Liberal government to buy new submarines from allies.

Jasper Wieck, the political director of the German Ministry of Defence, and Norway’s program director of submarines, Capt. (N) Oystein Storebo, spoke with CBC News recently about the pitch for Canada to join their existing partnership, in which the two nations are constructing cutting-edge boats that will begin to enter service in 2028.

Will the damage ever be undone?

On the anniversary of a national psychotic episode. . .

Four years ago this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered the flags lowered on all federal buildings across Canada. He’d already ordered the flags lowered on Parliament Hill over the weekend before. All the flags remained at half mast for six long months.

There were riots. Statues of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, John A. Macdonald, Egerton Ryerson, Joseph Hugonard, James Cook and other historical figures were toppled by mobs or formally removed in Charlottetown, Winnipeg, Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton, Lebret and Victoria.

Things to come …

Toronto, soon …

Feral Cities

Western governments under increasing structural civilisational distress and having squandered their legitimacy are losing the ability to peacefully manage multicultural societies that are terminally fractured by ethnic identity politics. The initial result is an accelerating descent of multiple major cities into marginally ‘feral’ status as defined by Richard Norton in a 2003 essay in this way:

…a metropolis with a population of more than a million people in a state the government of which has lost the ability to maintain the rule of law within the city’s boundaries yet remains a functioning actor in the greater international system.
