The war bonds that endure

The Second World War brought Canada and the United States together to defend something that mattered. That started with divisive decisions not unlike those that the West faces today

“Good neighbour on one side; partners within the Empire on the other,” declared Canadian prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in July, 1938, positioning Canada between the United States and Britain. “Obligations to both in return for their assistance. Readiness to meet all joint emergencies.”

King’s desire to insert Canada between Britain and the U.S. was during a fraught period of global crisis, with militaristic Japan at war with China, with fascist Italy having crushed Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and, worst of all, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler aggressively building up his military, threatening neighbours and brazenly seeking war. What would Canada do in the coming months, as war loomed on the horizon? The awful decisions facing Canada more than 85 years ago are not dissimilar to those facing the Western democracies today.

Immigration Control Is Smart, Not Un-Christian

Demanding that corrupt bureaucrats not dump 20,000 immigrants from the third world into your backyard is not un-Christian.

The current goings-on in Springfield, Ohio, and the surrounding area have captured national media attention. Stories of tens of thousands of immigrants, unceremoniously dumped by the Biden-Harris administration into a sleepy heartland town of barely 60,000, causing traffic accidents, clogging up welfare and social services, devouring the housing market, and leaving native-born American citizens homeless and financially overburdened — to say nothing of the rumors of household pets being feasted upon — have reignited the inexplicably-contentious debate over immigration and border control.

US rejects claims of CIA involvement in alleged plot to kill Maduro after Venezuela arrests six

The US state department rejected allegations of CIA involvement in an alleged assassination plot against Nicolás Maduro after Venezuelan officials announced the arrest of three Americans, two Spaniards and a Czech on Saturday.

The claims of a plot against Maduro – the Venezuelan president, whose recent re-election is contested – were made on state television by Diosdado Cabello, the interior minister. Cabello said the foreign citizens including a US navy member were part of a CIA-led plot to overthrow the Venezuelan government and kill several members of its leadership. In the television programme, Cabello showed images of rifles that he said were confiscated from some of the alleged plotters.

Democrats’ Immigration Crisis Pushes Ohioans To The Breaking Point: ‘Who’s Protecting Us?’

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Springfield, Ohio is a blue-collar town of roughly 60,000 residents with a story that’s familiar to dozens of Rust Belt communities across the Midwest that have been transformed by job loss, opioids, and now, open migration.

Schuler’s Bakery greets visitors on the south side of town, not far from the interstate, as a relic of resilience having withstood the challenges faced by a declining economy for decades. Founded in 1937, the local sweet spot can now be found in two locations offering customers the kinds of cakes and pastries that define the small-town memories carried for generations long after residents have left.

An American Insurgency

The deadly infiltration of those who wish us harm.

We have experienced the progressive socialist leftists bantering around the word insurrection for quite some time — well, since January 6, 2021. It is rather interesting that no one has ever been charged with such. And from a military perspective, January 6th was hardly an insurrection. Heck, no one was armed, and only the protesters were assaulted, shot, and even killed. However, there is something happening in America that we had best realize before it is too late. There is an insurgency taking place in America. It is an action happening by non-state, non-uniformed belligerents who are in this country illegally…thanks to the open borders policies of the Biden-HARRIS administration. And sadly, in some cases, there are Americans who are joining this insurgency to the detriment of the safety and security of our Republic.

Blame Trump For Everything Bad In The Whole World Says Blackie’s Star

Donald Trump’s fear-mongering about migrant crime is fuelling hate in Canada and the world

When I was 9 years old and my immigrant family moved to Holland Landing, Ont., to operate the hamlet’s sole Chinese food restaurant, I was told often by well-meaning locals that we were “good immigrants,” and the “right type” to let in. As early as the age of 9, it was pressed upon me that bad immigrants exist and they take away jobs, they commit crimes and they cannot be trusted.

I was a child, so I was seen as harmless and my family hardworking. As a grown woman, a professor no less, I am told I am stealing jobs from more deserving white Canadian men. I am frequently dismissed as a “diversity hire” or was told by seemingly well-meaning white colleagues that I’m “so lucky to be a woman of colour right now” — a notion that dismisses my qualifications and hard work.

She mentions Canadian issues such as Trudeau’s foreign student scam without laying blame where it rightly belongs.

Who is running America right now?

If Joe Biden isn’t fit enough to run for re-election, then how can he be fit to remain in the White House?

Who is currently in charge in America? It’s sobering to realise that this critical question was never asked in this week’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. After all, what question could be more important than who is running the country?

Congress Fed Up with Canada’s Discriminatory Digital Tax

Trudeau’s government has a remarkably poor record managing the digital world.

America is running out of patience with Canada.

This time, the issue is not the northern neighbor’s refusal to meet defense-spending commitments. Nor is it a revival of the softwood-lumber problem, now entering its fifth decade. This time, it is Canada’s break from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) efforts to determine an international agreement on how to tax global tech giants.

Blame the Biden admin for Venezuelan gangs, migrants taking over Aurora, Colorado

How did members of Venezuelan gangs suddenly find themselves in Colorado’s suburbs?

The troubling conclusion: The Biden administration, in partnership with Denver authorities and publicly subsidized NGOs, provided the funding and logistics to place a large number of Venezuelan migrants in Aurora, creating a magnet for crime and gangs.

And, worse, some of the nonprofits involved appear to be profiting handsomely from the situation.

Chaos in Aurora

How the federal government subsidized the migrant madness in suburban Colorado.

Aurora, Colorado, is normally a quiet, nondescript suburb 30 minutes outside Denver. In recent months, however, the city has been at the center of a national scandal.

Beginning last year, a large influx of Venezuelan migrants, some of them members of the notorious Tren de Aragua street gang, reportedly had “taken over” a series of apartment buildings in Aurora—and unleashed terror. Last month, Venezuelan migrants were allegedly implicated in an attempted homicide, an arrest of purported gang members, and shocking security footage that showed heavily armed men forcibly entering one of the apartments. In response to the chaos, police mobilized en masse and vacated one of the complexes after the city, alleging code violations, deemed it uninhabitable.

HUNTER: U.S. rightly worried terrorists will slip over Canadian border

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. — The U.S. Border Patrol station chief was worried.

On a late summer day in 2000, he pointed to the hidden inlets along the St. Lawrence River — perfect spots for smuggling drugs, guns and people.

Of particular concern were an influx of people from the Middle East. This was a year before the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that killed nearly 3,000 people.

U.S. border patrol reports record number of encounters with illegal alien invaders from Canada

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it recorded a record-high number of encounters with migrants between border posts on the Canada-U.S. border between October 2023 and July of this year.

It’s a pattern experts say could be a problem for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government as the question of illegal immigration heats up in a close-fought U.S. election.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records an “encounter” in its database when it comes across someone who is inadmissable to the U.S., or when border patrol officers find someone who has illegally crossed the border into the U.S. between border posts.

China Casting the Decisive Vote in U.S. Election

The U.S. Department of Justice on September 4 announced it was seizing 32 internet domains “used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns colloquially referred to as ‘Doppelganger.'” DOJ also announced criminal charges against two Russian media executives.

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control at the same time designated 10 individuals and two entities “as part of a coordinated U.S. government response to Moscow’s malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election.” The State Department also took actions against Russian parties for such conduct.

Outrage at White House’s ‘Dismissive’ Attitude Toward Damning Report on China Subsidizing Fentanyl Production

A congressman, speaking exclusively to the Sun, is expressing outrage over the White House’s dismissal of a congressional investigative report finding that the Chinese government is actively incentivizing and promoting the production of fentanyl, which has greatly exacerbated America’s opioid epidemic.

The House Select Committee On The Strategic Competition Between The United States And The Chinese Communist Party released a lengthy investigative report earlier this year unveiling new evidence that Communist China — already acknowledged as a primary source of fentanyl precursors — is also directly fueling the exports of “illicit fentanyl materials” through government subsidies in the form of tax rebates to companies that produce them for use outside of China, among other findings.

Hunter and Joe must still be getting a cut.
