Nearly 60% of Canadians support becoming a full member of the European Union, poll says

Nearly three in five Canadians support the idea of Canada joining the European Union, a new poll suggests.

A Nanos Research survey conducted for The Globe and Mail shows that 57 per cent of respondents would either support (28 per cent) or somewhat support (29 per cent) Canada becoming a full member of the EU.

The results also show that 32 per cent of respondents were either opposed or somewhat opposed to the idea, while 12 per cent were unsure.


Maybe those in favour hope they can Schengen their way out of here?

Knifeman calling himself ‘Lucifer’ slashes three at NYC’s Grand Central

A machete-wielding suspect attacked three people at New York City’s Grand Central station before he was fatally shot by police, in a rampage that diverted trains at the nation’s biggest rail hub.

The suspect slashed an 84-year-old man and a 65-year-old man about the head and face and left a 70-year-old woman with cuts to her shoulder in the subway platform attack.

Police said the assailant, 44-year-old Anthony Griffin, ignored repeated demands to drop the weapon and called himself Lucifer.

Pete Hegseth’s holy war: the militant Christian theology animating the US attack on Iran

Pete Hegseth’s holy war: the militant Christian theology animating the US attack on Iran

Nine months and six days before a Tomahawk missile tore through the gaily decorated classrooms of the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, Iran, ripping apart the bodies of schoolchildren, teachers, and parents, US defense secretary Pete Hegseth’s personal pastor delivered a sermon at the Pentagon.

“There’s a temptation to think that you’re actually in control and responsible for final outcomes, especially for those who issue the commands and do the aiming and the shooting,” preached Brooks Potteiger, Hegseth’s closest spiritual adviser, at the first of what have become monthly Christian worship services at the Department of Defense. “But you are not ultimately in charge of the world.”

Citing a verse from Matthew 10, Potteiger told the gathered leaders of the US military: “If our Lord is sovereign even over the sparrow’s fallings, you can be assured that he is sovereign over everything else that falls in this world, including Tomahawk and Minuteman missiles …

“Jesus has the final say over all of it.”


All I got to say is thank goodness Iran is a secular state able to curtail an expansionist US Christian Nationalism!

Gilead is real!
