Sometimes you have to wonder what the point of fighting the decline of Western Civilization is.
It seems inevitable, and enough people seem to tolerate it that it’s easy to think about giving up, moving someplace where the deterioration will take longer or be avoided by a large enough concentration of people who share our values, so sanity will prevail.
They’re laughing at us. That’s what I thought when I saw that rictus, gap-toothed smirk on the face of one of the illegal immigrants who’d just been found guilty in a most abominable case of rape. There he was leaving court, having been convicted of assisting in the savage sexual assault of a woman on a public beach, and he was grinning. If I had to translate his leer, I’d say he was saying that our women, our courts and our country don’t count for shit. ‘You’re worthless’ was the subtext of his diabolical sneer.
Democrats can rebrand candidates, but they cannot hide a long record of condescension toward the very working-class voters they now need to win back.
After failing to win Congress and the presidency in 2024, the Democrats conducted an internal postmortem of what went wrong. While they predictably did not divulge the full results, everyone knew what they had found.
Their obsessions with the low side of 30/70 issues had especially alienated Democrats from white middle- and working-class voters. Yet middle-class whites still comprise about 40–50 percent of the population and are perhaps overrepresented in voter turnout.
Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood
A row has broken out in one of Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhoods over plans to use an AI-powered surveillance system to create the country’s first “virtual gated community” to combat surging property crime.
Crime rates in Toronto as a whole are dropping but residents of Rosedale have been left on edge by a sustained rise in home invasions, with robbers targeting the tree-lined neighbourhood at a rate more than double the city average. Break-ins and thefts remain the third highest per capita in Toronto.

Shaken by break-ins, an affluent Toronto neighbourhood takes action
The squad of private security cars fans out after nightfall, their little rooftop lights flashing yellow against the historic homes and manicured hedges of Rosedale. Their drivers patrol the streets slowly, stopping to inspect parked cars and following any suspicious drivers.
Other unmarked security vehicles idle nearby, their drivers wearing bulletproof vests under their shirts, ready to respond to break-ins in six minutes or less.
Inside those graceful homes, residents have prepared crude fortifications: door braces, newly installed alarms, hammer-proof glass.

Once a friend of the former astronaut-turned-viceregal, John Fraser describes how Julie Payette crumbled into “perpetual petulance,” in this excerpt from his new book, The Governors General: An Intimate History of Canada’s Highest Office.
It should not have ended this way. It should have ended with a national celebration of an amazing, vibrant, and still young woman who managed to surmount all the challenges in a mostly male world; who managed to storm through a mostly male engineering school right up to the day she graduated summa cum laude; who managed to get through mostly male selection and training at the Canadian Space Agency; and ultimately, who managed two trips to outer space with mostly American male crews at NASA. As if all that were not enough, she also managed to crown this extraordinary record by being appointed governor general, the highest and noblest position Canada has to offer its most outstanding citizens.
If membership in the Order of Canada were offered to Canadians who significantly shaped our national culture, Don Cherry would have received it long ago. But at age 92, Don Cherry is still waiting.
Love him or hate him — and there are plenty in both camps — Cherry was a fixture in the life of the nation for decades. He wasn’t just a hockey coach and commentator with extravagant suits and loudly voiced opinions; he was also a businessman and philanthropist, a supporter of hockey at all levels and an enthusiast for Canada’s military and its history.
Most Canadians want the government to ban or regulate algorithmic pricing, a new poll suggests — with half of respondents saying the practice is unfair because it can result in people paying different prices for the same product.
The Abacus Data poll, which was conducted online and can’t be assigned a margin of error, polled 1,931 Canadians on algorithmic pricing.
Our elites are hard at work.
They import cheap labour to depress wages and raise the price of everything.
Now with algorithmic pricing they have a modernized stealth version of the “Company Store”.
They won’t clean up the homeless camps because they want you to know that’s where you’ll end up if you make a fuss.
Welcome to the New Canada.
B.C. Premier David Eby has signalled he won’t support the federal government’s move to temporarily increase rural employers’ allowances for temporary foreign workers, saying there should be a pathway to permanent residency instead.
It comes after an event Monday on the Sunshine Coast where the local MP re-announced a move to allow rural employers to have up to 15 per cent of their workforce be low-wage temporary foreign workers (TFW).
The new foreign workers cap is up from the current cap of 10 per cent, and would allow for eligible workers to get an automatic one-year extension on their work permits.
Send them back. Send the politicians who support this assault on our economic and social security back with them.
From the countryside to Canterbury, the nation’s elites have contempt for all things English.
Picture the scene: gently rolling green hills, a babbling brook, sheep grazing in fields bounded by drystone walls. Perhaps a village sits in the distance, with honey-gold houses, church bells ringing, and, of course, a welcoming pub. The English countryside is celebrated worldwide—except, it seems, in England itself.
Where most people see a rural idyll, Britain’s bureaucrats spy a scandal. The countryside is a “white environment,” they complain. “White,” by their warped logic, means definitionally hostile to nonwhite people, which means racism, which is bad. So things must change. Last month, Britain’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) set out proposals to make the countryside more attractive to minorities, reportedly complete with “diversity targets.”

Eshagh Ghalibaf studied at an Australian university and vacationed in Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Dubai and Istanbul before setting his sights on Canada.
He is also the son of a hardline member of the Iranian regime, which has killed thousands of protesters and is now attacking its neighbours with missiles.
Although his father, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, has said the Islamic republic would defend itself “until the last breath,” his son appears to have avoided compulsory military service.
The release of the Epstein files has rippled through politics, business and academics, revealing secret ties that many prominent people kept with Jeffrey Epstein. After their connections became public, many said they regretted associating with Epstein and some have stepped down from their roles. Here is a list of famous names in the files and those who have resigned or have been arrested.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be removed from the royal line of succession.
Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office last month after being accused of sharing confidential material with the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; he has not responded to the BBC’s requests for comment on the specific allegations in relation to the release of millions of Epstein files in January.
Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through British airports until a month before his arrest in 2019, the Epstein files suggest.
Booking records, flight logs, as well as fuel receipts – a part of the trove of documents released by the Department of Justice – show the paedophile financier flew to and from Britain over 60 times.
And the disgraced financier, 66, booked commercial flights for women in and out of the UK just a month before his arrest in 2019.

Borge Brende announces that he is resigning as head of the World Economic Forum, which organizes the annual Davos summit that gathers the world’s political and business elite, after revelations of his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“After careful consideration, I have decided to step down as President and CEO of the World Economic Forum,” the former Norwegian foreign minister says in a statement, adding that he believes “now is the right moment for the Forum to continue its important work without distractions.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has admitted he had two affairs with Russian women while married to his now-ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, and issued a groveling apology for his links with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Gates, 70, told staffers at his foundation on Tuesday that he flew on a private plane with the disgraced financier and spent time with him in the US and abroad, but didn’t participate in any crime, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” Gates said in the town hall meeting. “To be clear, I never spent any time with the victims, the women around him.”
