‘Let’s Show Reality’: Hashtag Goes Viral After Identitarian Activist Arrest

The arrest of influencer Jean-Eudes Gannat, who is being prosecuted for posting a video showing Afghan migrants camped outside a supermarket in his town, continues to cause controversy. The widespread outrage over the attacks against him, even beyond France’s borders, has given rise to a movement on X called “Let’s show reality,” which aims to show, with supporting images, the prevalence of immigration and population change in society.


Tweet Translation (Sorta)

SUMMONED AT THE PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST as early as this afternoon for this innocuous video posted last night on TikTok. Possibly for a custody hearing according to my contact.

Describing reality is forbidden!

Since the truth is disturbing, I ask you to spread it as widely as possible and commend me to your prayers in the face of this umpteenth political-judicial harassment.

REDMAN: The government must stop politicizing Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day should be a time to honour all those who served and died for Canada. Instead, once again, it has been politicized, this year by a government-staged apology aimed at casting shame on the military rather than celebrating its sacrifice.

Once a year, we pause to remember those who died in uniform in service to our country and in defence of our rights and freedoms, and our very way of life.


I’m shocked the LPC didn’t have a Transgender Remembrance day.

A retreat from opportunity: Is the Canadian dream still alive?

For generations, the Canadian covenant was straightforward: Work hard, play by the rules, and you’ll climb higher than your parents did. Merit, not inheritance, would determine success. That certainty is eroding.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s persistent claim that “Canada is broken” resonates because it captures a growing anxiety that effort no longer guarantees advancement. The sentiment transcends party lines.

In early 2025, Policy Horizons Canada (the federal government’s own foresight agency) released projections for 2040 where “upward social mobility is almost unheard of” and “downward social mobility might become the norm.” This scenario challenges the foundation of Canadian identity.

A long read but packed with data. Sadly this century will most certainly not belong to Canada or what remains of it.

A Town With Men in Hiding, in a Nation Desperate for Soldiers

Ukraine faces a major draft evasion problem, but no place is quite like Vylkove, a Danube River town where men of draft age have all but vanished, many of them trying to avoid military service.

Draft officers picked Ivan up at a traffic stop and dropped him off at a training base, but he went absent without leave from the army after three days. Since then, he has been hiding at home in Vylkove, a small town in southernmost Ukraine, rarely stepping outside.

Almost four years after the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine faces the twin challenges of not having enough troops and men avoiding military service. Many men of draft age, 25 to 60, have broken the law that prohibits most of them from leaving the country, while others play a cat-and-mouse game with conscription officers or just hunker down at home.

The unique geography and history of Vylkove, a run-down Danube River fishing port, have made it an exaggerated version of Ukraine in miniature, where draft-age men have all but vanished.

Revealed: The real reason Canada’s trade deal collapsed

Doug Ford, the Ontario Premier, was moments from taking the stage at a trade conference in Toronto when organisers announced an unexpected guest.

Beaming in from Washington, DC, Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump’s commerce secretary, had joined to speak on the escalating trade rift between the US and Canada.

Mr Lutnick’s tone, those present say, was aggressive and his message clear; automotive manufacturing, the pride of Ontario, was coming back to America.

‘National embarrassment’: Canada is no longer a country that has eliminated measles

In the old days we exiled them from the village.

Canada no longer can claim it has eliminated the most infectious virus known to medicine after the Pan American Health Organization announced Monday it has revoked the country’s measles elimination status.

The decision comes after Canada failed to contain spread of the same viral strain of measles for more than one year.

Speechcrime

On Britain’s authoritarian turn

It is only appropriate that the head of Britain’s government should be Keir Starmer, a human rights lawyer and former head of the nation’s prosecuting authorities, because Britain now prosecutes its own citizens—if they say the wrong things. The ideology and culture of human rights, whether by design or not, have served to make the country safer for criminals, increase mass illegal immigration, curtail freedom of speech, and entrench a sprawling ideological bureaucracy.

A Gut Punch in the Culture Fight

A courageous British veteran of World War II tells his country this is not the freedom he and so many others fought for.

The saddest news clip I saw last week was not Fox News calling the Virginia Attorney General race for a man who wants me dead, and will make that outcome likelier when I move to the state next year. Nor New York City’s Mayor-Elect screaming communist blather in his victory speech. Both were painful, but neither as painful as a Good Morning, Britain interview with a 100-year-old English D-Day veteran. The magnificent hero, Alec Penstone, turned an intended fluff segment into one of the most melancholic reflections ever on the wretched state of the nation he fought for, and his brothers bled and died for. And his words rang like warning bells to this side of the Pond, if too late for Virginia and New York.

Bryan Brulotte: The Canadian Armed Forces must reclaim its warrior ethos

CAF Transgender Tank

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) stands at a decisive moment in its history. Around the world, rivalries are resurfacing, alliances are being tested and the international order that Canada helped build through sacrifice and service is fracturing. This is Canada’s moment not only to reinvest in its military, but to reclaim the warrior ethos that once defined those who wear the uniform.

Iran Seeking to Revive the ‘Axis of Resistance’ Against Israel

While US President Donald J. Trump and his administration are working hard to bring peace to the Middle East and disarm terror groups in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, the Iranian regime and its proxies are doing their utmost to ensure that their Jihad (holy war) to destroy Israel continues in full force.

The Iranian regime is evidently (and understandably) afraid of losing its terror proxies – Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen. These terror groups, whose primary goal is to eliminate Israel, have suffered severe blows over the past two years as a result of Israeli military operations targeting their leaders and military infrastructure.

‘A literal shoe box’: Why some Toronto renters are avoiding new builds

267 square foot condo Toronto

Delphine Winton just recently moved into an apartment by Casa Loma built in 1936 — and she’s not looking back.

During her hunt for a new space, the 22-year-old student was strictly looking for older buildings, choosing to stay away from the sliding glass doors, lack of “character” and odd floor plans she’s seen in newer condos.

“God forbid you have enough room to put a dining table in,” she told CBC Toronto.

‘Chaos has gone’ – quiet streets on Texas border after Trump crackdown

In Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, the immigration debate has spilled into the streets, sparking almost daily demonstrations while immigration agents ramp up arrests.

But in El Paso – a city in Texas on the US-Mexico border – the streets are unusually quiet.

A year after the BBC last visited the border to understand the impact of the migrant crisis on the border, sites that were once teeming with migrants lie largely silent.

Just a few years ago, as many as 2,500 migrants once camped outside the city’s historic Sacred Heart Catholic church. Many lined the streets sleeping on donated blankets, idling while they waited for food and water to be distributed by local charities.

Ford government refuses to release completed work on Hwy. 401 tunnel idea

The Doug Ford Super Tunnel comes with a Highway, Gondola canal and Monorail!

Ontario is refusing to release already completed work on the viability of Premier Doug Ford’s Highway 401 tunnel vision after signing a $9.1 million agreement for a Canadian company to re-study the plan.

As part of its Fall Economic Statement, the province confirmed it had awarded a contract to WSP Canada Inc. to consider how to build an expressway beneath Ontario’s busiest artery — and whether it is possible at all.
