Diane Francis: Joining Eurovision nothing more than a Carney vanity project
Mark Carney’s first federal budget as Prime Minister should be called the Eurovision Budget. It piles on debt and contains a $150-million allocation to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) — disguised as cultural investment — which includes, unbelievably, a plan for Canada to “explore participation” in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Eurovision is watched by 160 million Europeans annually and is a music contest. Carney wants Canada, which is not in Europe and not even a member of the European Broadcasting Union, to join the show. This is not parody. It’s in the 2025-26 federal budget.
Britain stops sharing intelligence with US after Trump bombs drug boats
Britain has stopped sharing intelligence with the US about drug trafficking in the Caribbean, in a move that risks opening a fresh rift with Donald Trump.
In a major break with its closest ally, the Labour Government allegedly paused intelligence briefings because it does not want to be complicit in US strikes on suspected drug boats in Latin America, CNN reported.
The pause came into effect in September shortly after the US began carrying out lethal strikes against boats suspected of transporting drugs from Latin America to mainland US, sources told the news outlet.
Maybe we shouldn’t have stopped him?
Foreign National Pleads Guilty to Smuggling Migrants From Canada Into the US
A foreign national has pleaded guilty to conspiring to facilitate the smuggling of illegal migrants into the United States, and will face deportation after serving a two-year prison sentence, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says.
Edgar Gonzalez de Paz, 37, pleaded guilty to facilitating illegal entries into the United States at a Montreal courthouse on Nov. 6, the CBSA said in a Nov. 10 news release. The agency says Gonzalez de Paz faces a prison sentence of two years less a day.
I bet he moves more illegals out of the country than the government does.
BERNARDO: Carney’s firearms fiasco: Punish the law-abiding while criminals run wild
In the last two weeks of October 2025, criminal violence with illegal guns has reached a fever pitch, which exposes (yet again) the stark hypocrisy of federal Liberal firearms policy.
While Mark Carney’s Liberal government pours hundreds of millions into a useless Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme that only targets licenced owners — hunters, sport shooters, and rural residents — violent crime involving smuggled illegal guns surges unchecked.
Corruption scandal rocks Ukraine: Zelensky’s close associate flees country hours before police raids targeting 70 properties, at least $100 million stolen
In yet another sign of the rampant corruption in Ukraine, Ukrainian security forces raided the apartment of Timur Mindich, a businessman associated with President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, the oligarch had already left the country just hours before, likely after being tipped off by an insider.
Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) says that $100 million is believed to have been siphoned off due to a “money laundering operation,” and other associates were involved. The 15-month investigation featured 1,000 hours of wiretapping and resulted in 70 raids, according to NABU.
Going After Tommy
Tommy Robinson has had yet another day in court.
This time, he appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ on the 6th of November in order to answer a charge under Schedule 7 of the UK Terrorism Act 2000, no less. He had been stopped, in July 2024, at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone. When asked by ports police—specialist counter-terrorism officers—to disclose his phone’s pin number, Robinson refused, claiming that journalistic material was stored on it. Under the Terrorism Act, this refusal is, in itself, an offence.
Chinese-Owned Trailer Park Beside U.S. Stealth Bomber Base Linked to Alleged Vancouver Repression Case
A sprawling U.S. investigative report has placed a Richmond, B.C., couple already identified in a high-profile Chinese-diaspora repression case at the center of an even more explosive national-security controversy south of the border: they are linked to a web of shell companies that own a trailer park beside Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri — home to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and launch point for the June 2025 strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

European Christian pacifists face truth: Peace requires strength
For centuries, many European Christians have proudly declared that following Jesus means rejecting violence. But as Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine drags into its fourth year, even lifelong pacifists are beginning to ask whether peace can survive without the means to defend it.
Christianity Today reports on a moral and theological shift taking place among Europe’s faithful.
British courts shouldn’t have to protect criticism of Islam
When a British judge last week ruled that criticism of Islam counts as a “protected belief”, it seemed paradoxical: the Equality Act, long accused by the political Right of stifling free expression, was suddenly upholding it. For some, this appeared to confirm that the law is self-contradictory, a statute designed to protect minorities which is now defending the right to criticise religion. Yet perhaps the contradiction lies not in the Act itself, but in a society that has lost the moral compass to distinguish between the fair criticism of ideas and outright discrimination against people.
Conrad Black: The Cowichan Aboriginal Title Ruling Raises More Questions Than It Answers
The Cowichan Tribes versus Canada case, recently decided by the B.C. Supreme Court, has been continuing for 11 years, including 513 days of trial hearings, and is already probably the longest trial in Canadian history and one of the most complicated. It has already been appealed and will presumably end in the Supreme Court of Canada.
Immense controversy has been provoked by the court’s recognition of the superiority in some cases of aboriginal title over the fee simple ownership of subsequent parties. The facts are specialized, and so fears that the native peoples in general could make a successful claim for ownership of the entire country, with the approximately 95 percent of non-aboriginal owners mere tenants of the innumerable tribes, bands, and clans among the First Nations, are exaggerated.
Harvard Astronomer Claims Interstellar Object Barreling Around Our Solar System Could Be Alien Technology
A Harvard astronomer is making waves by suggesting that a massive interstellar object hurtling through our solar system might be an alien spacecraft.
Professor Avi Loeb, who also serves as director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has theorized that the object, named 3I/ATLAS, is exhibiting unusual behaviors inconsistent with a natural comet.
When the ‘Pastor’ Marries Four Men: Germany’s Truce with Polygamy
It is a snapshot of cultural collapse: A young German woman with pink hair in clergyman’s robes, facing four men, bestowing her approval on their bizarre sexual arrangement, the details of which we are blessedly unaware. The pro-LGBT pastor is now under fire for blessing the ‘marriage’ of four men who showed up at a pop-up wedding fair at Berlin’s St. Paul the Apostle Church recently. Lena Müller, the 33-year-old clergyperson in question, posted a photo of the ceremony to Instagram.
C.P. Champion: It’s a problem that Canada doesn’t capitalize on its reserve force
If we go to war, a lot will depend on the reserves. The CAF can’t treat them like an afterthought
The Canadian Armed Forces’ greatest enemy is ignorance — or a certain national cluelessness — and this is especially true for the reserves. From military reporters to regular full-time Canadian Armed Forces members, many don’t know what a reservist actually is or does. Let me offer a few ideas for reflection, based on my 500-page study of 30 years of unvarying reserve problems, Relentless Struggle.
Second World War veterans are a shrinking presence on Remembrance Day
As the Second World War came to a close, Elmer Friesen and his brother, Alvin, received a letter from their Mennonite church in Aberdeen, Sask.
They could return to the church, it said, but not without publicly apologizing to the small rural congregation. They had been expecting the ultimatum since first being given the choice at the outset of the war: Serve and renounce your membership to the church, or don’t participate at all.
But the appeal to pacifism – a core belief of the church – didn’t land with the Friesen brothers.
