Government retreats on Victims of Communism memorial names in aftermath of Nazi controversy

The controversial Victims of Communism memorial in downtown Ottawa will no longer feature the names of specific individuals after federal officials determined a significant number could be linked to the Nazis.

The memorial, located near the corner of Wellington and Bay streets, was intended to honour those who suffered under communism.

But concerns have been raised over the years by Jewish organizations and historians that names of eastern Europeans who collaborated with the Nazis in the Holocaust have been put forward in an attempt to whitewash their past.

Report Raises Concerns About Canadian Universities, Others Collaborating With Beijing-Backed AI Labs

A new report warns that prominent Western universities, including Canadian institutions, have collaborated with Chinese artificial-intelligence labs on research that could advance Beijing’s mass-surveillance apparatus and other tools tied to human rights abuses.

The Dec. 8 report, authored by the New York-based business intelligence firm Strategy Risks in partnership with the non-profit Human Rights Foundation, outlines how leading Western institutions in countries such as the United States, Canada, and others in Europe have collaborated with Chinese AI labs that are part of, or closely connected to, Beijing’s surveillance and security apparatus.

Donald Trump’s erratic, kleptocratic authoritarianism is a threat to our very existence. This is what Canada must do to survive.

We would like to begin, if we could, with a question of scale. Think for a moment of the sheer vastness of this land. Try to picture it all. The impossible greatness: from the Pacific forests, dense with unspeakable trees, to the grey greens of the Newfoundland coast.

Now look at a map. Think of what you see: A country so large it can at times seem more geological than political, like a fact written into the earth. Let the natural thought come then: Nothing this large could ever go away. And yet, we know now that it could, all of it, at any time.

Two-thousand twenty five was the year the inevitable died in Canada. Thanks to Donald Trump, we know that nothing about our country is guaranteed anymore, not our sovereignty, our democracy, our prosperity.


It seems the folks who most benefited when their “free trade” deals off-shored our jobs, fattened themselves on tax payer funded Net-Zero subsidies, imported cheap labour to feather their nests, and shamelessly discriminated against us because we were white are traumatized Trump has upset their apple cart. I could not care less for the fate of their Canada.

Pressure mounts on Rep Ilhan Omar as Ted Cruz warns she faces jail and deportation if ‘incest’ marriage is true

Ilhan Omar married her brother Elmi

Senator Ted Cruz has weighed in on Representative Ilhan Omar and issued her with a warning after allegations have swirled that the progressive congresswoman married her brother so he could become an American citizen.

Cruz shared an article on X, accusing Omar of the reported sham marriage, writing: ‘If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.’

The Republican senator then cited three US laws, including Federal Marriage Fraud, State Incest Laws, and Tax Fraud.

Ugh! Oliver Sacks Was a Fraud

No doubt many of you cried near the end of the movie Awakenings.

The movie, based on Oliver Sacks’ bestselling book of the same name, struck an emotional chord with many people for the same reason that Flowers for Algernon did, and it turns out to be about as based on real life as that depressing work was.

When fascism came to America in 2025, it wore a red baseball cap and carried an AR-15

American democracy fell this year.

It fell at home, it fell abroad, and each fall accelerated the other. It fell to an unholy trinity of old-school fascism, Russian mafia-statism and American gunslinging and fame-seeking. It fell in ways that were uniquely American but also in ways reminiscent of other despotic, murderous, expansionist, misogynistic and racist elected takeovers — ones that have led to tanks rolling across Europe.

Jamie Sarkonak: DEI funding exploded under Trudeau so much it can’t even be counted

It isn’t possible to hate this evil man too much.

In 2023, the Treasury Board of Canada’s program spending on diversity, equity and inclusion was roughly 100 times what it was in 2016. Public Safety Canada’s was about 40 times higher. The federal Crown prosecution service spent 20 times more.

These are some of the figures that were revealed in a House of Commons report tabled in response to a question by Conservative MP Vincent Ho. Back in October, he asked all federal departments to detail their DEI program spending, DEI-related jobs and DEI contracts, along with an explanation of how they evaluate DEI performance.
