Jamie Sarkonak: The Supreme Court is embarrassed of Canada. The black robes prove it

If you wanted to show an oblivious outsider everything that was wrong with the culture of the Supreme Court of Canada, you could start with Monday’s session-opening ceremony that marked its 150th year of existence. It was essentially one long speaking panel about the importance of tradition and democracy by people who take great joy in discarding the former and overruling the latter.

Jews for Mamdani? Jews Against Tommy Robinson?

From New York to London, progressive Jews are betraying their coreligionists’ interests.

Two years after the atrocities of October 7, 2023, it looks as if Zohran Mamdani, a previously obscure New York State assemblyman who became a U.S. citizen in 2018 (he remains a citizen of Uganda, where he was born) and who somehow manages to be both a Communist and a radical Muslim, will be elected mayor of New York City in November. Among other things, Mamdani looks fondly upon jihadist terrorism, hates Israel, calls it an apartheid state, supports Palestinians, considers Israel’s war in Gaza an act of genocide, supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, and has said he would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he set foot in New York. In 2017, Mamdani put out a rap song celebrating the leaders of the Holy Land Foundation, an ally of Hamas.

Robert Jenrick is right – Britain feels more and more Balkanised

Robert Jenrick has only gone and forgotten the golden rule of the woke era. Namely, that you are permitted to bemoan a surplus of white people, but you must never clock an absence of white people. Wailing about the pale, stale males who clog up our institutions is fine. Wondering where the white people are at when you visit certain parts of the Midlands is evil. How did these rules of the new racialism slip his mind?

Trump mocks ‘woke’ transgender ideology in meeting with Mark Carney

U.S. President Donald Trump did not hold back during an in-person meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney today, openly blasting the “woke” extreme transgender ideology of men in women’s sports and genital mutilation surgery of minors.

“We have no men’s and women’s sports. I mean, basic things. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child,” he told Carney in the White House.

A Writer’s Take on the State of the American Left Should Send Chills Down the Spines of Libs

You might not like some of the language he uses, but Noah Smith’s lengthy take on the state of American politics is worth a read. It’s not drivel spewed on Salon or MSNBC. It’s a fair take on the MAGA movement and the structural and political disadvantages of the Left, which aren’t going away if they keep this destructive march on most of their action items. Smith concedes there are kernels of truth to the ‘great replacement theory,’ noting the changes in California’s politics. Again, you might not agree with the authoritarian observations he makes about the MAGA movement, but he also slaps down the notion that this is some fascistic plot.

Canada must come ‘second’ to U.S. in auto sector, Howard Lutnick warns behind closed doors

Canada will not achieve a free trade deal with no American tariffs, and must settle with coming “second” to America when it comes to the auto sector, according to U.S. President Donald Trump’s point man on trade.

Appearing virtually, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick bluntly told an audience at a Canada-U.S. conference in Toronto on Wednesday that the United States is determined to dominate the car-making industry.

According to five sources who were in the room for the discussion, which was held under the ”Chatham House Rule” that bars reporters and media coverage, Lutnick said Canada has to consider the “big picture” and realize that it could be in an excellent place, but that trade between the two countries is never going back to the way it used to be under three decades of free trade agreements.

Carney raised Keystone XL pipeline revival in meeting with Trump

Relief for Canada from U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum may come thanks to renewed interest in a pipeline project first proposed more than 15 years ago.

Prime Minister Mark Carney raised the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would run from northern Alberta to the U.S. Midwest, during his conversations with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, according to a source with direct knowledge of the meeting.

The source said Carney expressed renewed national interest in the pipeline from the Canadian side and the U.S. president was receptive to the project advancing.

You know the panic is real when CBC mentions Oil in a positive way to bolster Carney.

‘First phase’ of ceasefire deal to end war in Gaza agreed by Israel and Hamas

US president Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace plan, bringing the best hope yet of a definitive end to a bloody two-year conflict that has killed ten of thousands, destabilised much of the Middle East and prompted protests across the world.

“I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan,” Trump said on his Truth Social network on Wednesday evening.

“This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.”

Greta Thunberg’s hypocrisy: Flag-kissing is torture but Hamas burning babies alive is fine

Greta Thunberg now says Israel “severely tortured” her — by forcing her to kiss an Israeli flag.

Yes, that’s her claim. Kissing the flag of the only democracy in the Middle East is, in her mind, torture.

The absurdity would almost be funny if it weren’t such a slap in the face to real victims of torture and terror — especially the innocent people who were burned, raped, and slaughtered by Hamas on October 7th.

But wait there’ more …
