Hegseth slams NATO and ‘middle powers’ talk, launches Europe troop review

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday lashed out at NATO allies during the announcement of a six-month Pentagon review of U.S. forces in Europe, saying the future of the alliance depended on others stepping up their defence spending.

He also appeared to take a veiled dig at recent remarks made by Prime Minister Mark Carney about middle powers needing to band together.


Europe like Canada will have to contend with a huge 5th Column and traitor class capable of upending any effort at self defense.

When you invite the enemy to overrun your country expect negative consequences Canada.

Canada is not capable of defending its borders and there will no Band of Middle Powers riding to the rescue.

MACLEOD: Safe Social Media Act isn’t about protecting kids — it’s about government controlling the Internet

MACLEOD: Safe Social Media Act isn’t about protecting kids — it’s about government controlling the Internet

There are few easier political arguments than saying we must protect children online. Every serious parent agrees with that. Every responsible adult knows social media can be addictive, manipulative, corrosive, and, at times, deeply harmful. The platforms have designed products that capture attention, reward outrage, promote insecurity, and keep young people scrolling long after common sense says they should be outside, reading a book, playing hockey, or annoying their parents in a healthier way.

Immigration Minister Says Having Canadian Ancestor Doesn’t Make One ‘Automatically Eligible’ for Citizenship

Immigration Minister Says Having Canadian Ancestor Doesn’t Make One ‘Automatically Eligible’ for Citizenship

Immigration Minister Lena Diab says people seeking Canadian citizenship by descent must prove their connection to Canada through each generation and that genealogy websites alone are not sufficient evidence.

Diab made the comments June 16 during Question Period in the House of Commons, when asked how many individuals had been given Canadian citizenship using inaccurate documents under a law passed last year that lets some people born before Dec. 15, 2025, obtain Canadian citizenship by descent if they can document a chain of descent to a Canadian citizen.

Jamie Sarkonak: Unilingual Canadians are inferior in the Supreme Court’s eyes

Jamie Sarkonak: Unilingual Canadians are inferior in the Supreme Court’s eyes

Canada used to be a bilingual country, in that our institutions could accommodate speakers of either official language. That age came to a resounding close on Friday, when a majority of the Supreme Court banned the appointment of unilingual speakers to a bilingual government office.

The case before the court had been brought by an Acadian activist group that challenged the appointment of a non-French-speaker, Brenda Murphy, to the position of lieutenant governor of New Brunswick. Six of the Supreme Court’s nine judges agreed with the Acadians, concluding that the lieutenant governor must speak both English and French. Appointing an anglophone, they said, constituted a violation of the Charter, in particular the equality rights of francophones.

Homeownership increased for recent immigrants in Canada and decreased for Canadian-born individuals: StatsCan

Homeownership rates for recent immigrants in Canada grew recently, but it also decreased for Canadian-born individuals, according to a Statistics Canada study released Tuesday.

Homeownership in Ontario among recent immigrants in their fifth year in Canada rose by from 35.7 per cent in 2018 to 40.2 per cent in 2021, recording an increase of over 12 per cent. While Canadian-born individuals saw a five per cent decrease in homeownership rates for the same period from 50.7 per cent to 47.8 per cent.


I guess the Elbow people who voted for economic security wrecking mass immigration all have homes set aside for their children and grandchildren.

Declassified 1992 CSIS memo warned refugee system could be exploited by Islamic extremists

A newly released Canadian Security Intelligence Service memo from 1992 warned that Islamic extremists could exploit Canada’s refugee system to enter the country while avoiding the security screening routinely applied to other foreign nationals.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the declassified document, obtained through Access to Information laws, argued that refugee claimants were particularly difficult for authorities to screen and monitor because many arrived using improper documentation and with little verifiable background information.
