It’s time to start stockpiling spam, stashing your petty cash and hoarding hand sanitiser, according to the UK government. The ‘Be Ready’ campaign, launched last week by defence secretary Wes Streeting, is urging the public to take steps to be prepared for any emergency that could cause at least 72 hours’ worth of disruption to power, water and food supplies.
Muskoka residents were baffled. As thick wildfire smoke descended from Northern Ontario in mid-July, producing a mysterious daytime fog, RCMP boats with powerful triple-400 engines emerged in the heart of cottage country.
The locals were curious: Was it a training operation? A bust of some sort? Security for someone special?
By late Thursday, they had their answer. Prime Minister Mark Carney was coming to town, visiting the JW Marriott resort on Lake Rosseau, and his public schedule later revealed he attended an annual conference that brings together chief executives, wealthy entrepreneurs, top politicians, world-renowned scientists and venture capitalists. They call it The Dock.
Does Canadian conservatism have a problem with patriotism? Do some conservatives feel a greater loyalty to their ideology than their country?
Does this lead them to side with Donald Trump and the United States against Canada, in a dispute that turns in part on whether Canada should exist as a country, separate from the United States? Does it also lead them to favour the separatist side in the coming referendum in Alberta, which is also about whether the country should exist in its current form?
What’s “patriotic” about allowing the Liberal party and their corporate cronies to swamp the nation with cheap foreign labour cheating your compatriots out of wages, housing and healthcare?
What’s “patriotic” about being ruled by a Laurentian elite that would surrender us to Communist China for a few pieces of silver?
What’s “patriotic” about the Liberal Party’s determined effort to criminalize dissent?
What’s “patriotic” about knee-jerk anti-Americanism that threatens our relationship with our closest ally?
I could go on …
Sunny Hostin has built a nice little side career out of diagnosing other people’s privilege. So when police caught her 24-year-old son wandering around active Metro-North railroad tracks in New Rochelle last month, you’d think the The View co-host and former federal prosecutor would have let the process play out. Instead, bodycam footage shows her doing exactly the thing she’s spent years telling America is a problem when other people do it.
NEW: The View’s Sunny Hostin seen using her privilege to try to get her son out of trouble for trespassing, tells police she is a “former federal prosecutor.”
“My name is Sunny Hostin… and I’m a former federal prosecutor,” Hostin said while telling police her son went to… pic.twitter.com/HsKYoKNuDH

‘Please don’t speculate.’ If I hear that chilling instruction one more time, I’m going to flip. It’s been the deathly, censorious chorus of the police, politicians and every media prick since Ann Widdecombe’s body was discovered at her home in Dartmoor last week. Don’t speculate. Don’t be a conspiracy theorist. Don’t exploit this tragedy. Don’t say it was political. Don’t call it terrorism. On and on they droned. And yet now it seems the ‘speculators’, those defamed as fantastists, may have been on to something.
Toronto is a city that prides itself on safety, diversity, and the ability to gather without fear. But on Saturday night, during the Salsa on St. Clair festival, that sense of ease was shattered. Multiple people were shot. Two died at the scene. Police urged the public to avoid the area as officers secured the intersection and searched for answers.
The tragedy is real. The grief is real. But what worries me even more is what this event reveals about the cultural climate we’ve been drifting toward for years — a climate where violence no longer shocks us the way it should.
Toronto remains a relatively safe city by North American standards and the Salsa shooting may have been Protestant gunplay for all we know.
But diversity is not a strength. It’s the reason why we aren’t “shocked” in our balkanized metropolis.
Most of Toronto’s gun crime is committed by “racialized” communities who don’t play by our rules.
The usual suspects make the news often enough to end anyone’s shock.
So long as they aren’t shooting up your tribe or mine ain’t nobody gonna care.
Stay safe re-read “The Talk”.
The brutal, senseless murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak by Vickrum Digwa in the U.K. has shocked the Western world.
What angered so many British citizens – as well as Europeans and even Americans – is the callous manner in which the British police doubted and downplayed Digwa’s version of events and even handcuffed the dying and bleeding Nowak because of his killer’s false accusations of “racism.”
Socialist political leaders have recently made substantial gains in the American political system, especially in urban areas and cities like New York, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Burlington (Vermont), South Fulton (Georgia), Cheektowoga (New York), Richmond (California), Allegheny County (Pennsylvania), and in congressional districts in New York, Colorado, and elsewhere following in the footsteps of New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who some speculate will run for the White House in 2028.
Frederick Forsyth described in his novel The Dogs of War a unit of hard, efficient, and unscrupulous mercenaries operating in the African conflicts of the 1960s and 70s. They had at least a code: they fulfilled the contract, admitted what they were, and moved on. The media mercenaries of today are more dangerous. They do not move on. They stay inside, gnawing at the roots of their nations on the public payroll and with ideological conviction. And they believe themselves to be journalists.
Who are the so-called Democratic Socialists of America and their fellow travelers?
While it is difficult to generalize, many current and would-be socialist officeholders share several common traits.
Most of them represent a relatively small slice of American life. Almost all are urban, with little knowledge of small-town or rural existence.
Canada’s elite have spent a quarter‑century turning a rich, opportunity‑dense economy into a slow‑growth, over‑levered cul‑de‑sac, and they still insist nothing is structurally wrong. There is no sense crying over spilt milk about past mistakes when the architects of this stagnation are still in charge and still in denial.
A good rant. h/t Mauser
Recent statements by Canadian politicians show that the Canadian political class wishes for Canadians to apologize for their history and minimize the qualities of their culture. Contrary to those statements, Canadians have little to apologize for and much to be proud of. Former prime minister Justin Trudeau famously remarked that Canada is a “post-national state without an identity.” Current Prime Minister Mark Carney recently remarked while in Ireland for the G7 summit that Canada is “a mosaic of cultures, not a melting pot.” In 2025, BC New Democratic MLA Rohini Arora said that Canadians should consider themselves to be “colonizers.” When Trudeau says that Canada does not have an identity, it minimizes the historical exceptionalism and qualities Canada has. As the current Prime Minister is attending an international event peddling Canada as a middle power, he is making the case that all cultures are compatible with Canadian culture. The comments from the New Democratic MLA in BC attempt to ensure that Canadians think their culture is so inferior to other cultures that Canadians should only consider themselves to be colonizers.
British tyranny is so repulsive that the British people owe it to themselves to overthrow their government masters. It has been two-hundred-fifty years since America’s Declaration of Independence recognized the Crown system as a threat to Americans’ lives and liberties. English-speaking peoples still suffering under the British yoke should follow suit.

It seems impossible — or just too revolting — to keep up with the financial hanky-panky of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and First Partner (gag) Jennifer Siebel Newsom. But thanks to a couple of investigative reporters with stronger stomachs than I have, let’s see if I can’t put everything you need to know into one easily digestible column.
Outgoing Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith is considering running for Toronto city council, and has discussed the possibility with Mayor Olivia Chow.
Erskine-Smith has represented the federal riding of Beaches-East York since 2015, but is stepping down when Parliament rises this week. He announced his resignation in May after narrowly losing the nomination for the Ontario Liberals in an upcoming byelection in Scarborough Southwest, a result that dealt a blow to his plans to run for leader of the provincial party.
He’s determined to wring every last ounce of value from his Mohammed wardrobe.
