Security for the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup cost Canadian taxpayers more than $231 million, making it one of the largest federal expenses tied to hosting the international soccer tournament, according to documents tabled before the Senate.
The rich made out like bandits I’m sure.
In an astonishing move, YouTube removed a video from The European Conservative‘s official YouTube channel after it had garnered 43,000 views.
YouTube classified the content of the conversation that centered around remigration as “hate speech.”
Referencing everything from South Park to Leonard Cohen poems, Chrystia Freeland has taken shots at Donald Trump in the pages of the New York Times this week. She even doles out the “b” word — bully — twice.
A former MP and deputy prime minister under Justin Trudeau, Freeland resigned her seat in Parliament in January, and this month took up a position as warden of Rhodes House and chief executive officer of the Rhodes Trust, a British educational charity that supports global graduate students at the University of Oxford. But she has not fully left the political realm, writing regularly on “the intersection of economics and geopolitics” in Bloomberg News and appearing as a panelist on Wall Street Week.
On July 25, a car driven by a known Islamic terrorist, Abdul Bellout, went through the Berlin Pride event, killing one and injuring many more. Bellout was shot dead by police following a manhunt. Several years ago, Bellout was arrested and imprisoned for trying to join an Islamic terror group. As part of his release, he was ordered to go to “deradicalization training.”
Despite knowing he was a terrorist, German authorities dealt with Abdul Ballout, the Berlin Pride killer, by sending him on a three-day (spread over six weeks from mid June) 'violence prevention' course.
Here's some of the people who run that course. pic.twitter.com/oRgkb5hqZw

The billionaire CEO of one of Canada’s largest companies has come under fire for endorsing the idea of stripping voting rights from some people and giving more votes to the ultra-wealthy.
On Saturday, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke replied to a post on X from former TD Bank executive Eric Thor, who suggested an electoral system of “weighted voting proportional to the amount of income tax you pay,” from zero votes for people who don’t pay income tax to five votes for anyone paying $500,000 or more.
Lütke replied, “Good system.”
AFrance without Islamic headscarves on its streets is one of the Rassemblement National’s promises to its ever-increasing electorate. But with polls indicating that its presidential candidate Marine Le Pen could well enter the Elysée Palace in May next year, the lady should perhaps be careful what she wishes for. Even her young running mate, Jordan Bardella, has warned her against maintaining a promise that, if fulfilled, risks inflaming the largely Islamized suburbs.
French media have reported on the alleged split with astonishment, as the Rassemblement National (RN), formerly known as the National Front, passes for an authoritarian party of the radical right where challenging the leader is frowned upon.
The similarity is often noted between the Ukraine and Iran wars: Mad billionaire autocrat with dreams of empire attempts to subjugate another country by force of arms; though seemingly in possession of overwhelming military advantage, is repelled by defenders armed with desperation, cunning and modern technology; now finds himself caught in a trap of his own making, unable either to advance or retreat.
Coyne is hitting the pipe again.
During the first half of this year, Chinese carmakers achieved a feat of hyper-production that sounds less like industrial manufacturing and more like a plague of locusts. In just six months, they unveiled 650 new models – an average of four brand-new cars every day. At the same time, on the other side of the Pacific, Elon Musk abandoned Tesla’s car assembly lines. He retooled the entire factory to mass-produce the Optimus humanoid robot.
According to Blacklock’s Report, the federal department of agriculture paid for a survey of 3,000 Canadian shoppers and found the typical Canadian family can no longer afford to follow Canada’s Food Guide diet — half of the plate fresh fruits and vegetable, one-quarter whole grains and another quarter protein. (AgCanada suggests mostly plant-based proteins, but that’s a political and ecological fantasy.)
Why is Israel never allowed to convincingly win wars waged against it? Why is it that Israel should bleed in self-defense while aggressors can walk away claiming victory? Why is it that Israel is frequently used by Western nations as a mere tool for their geopolitical ambitions? And why is it that Israel is blamed when plans set in motion by allies go awry?
Canadian taxpayers spent more to protect Prince Harry over five years during his visits to Canada than any other internationally protected person over the same period, CBC News has learned.
According to a document obtained by CBC News under Canada’s access to information law, the RCMP spent at least $539,575 to provide security between 2014/15 and 2019/20 when Prince Harry travelled to Canada for events like the Invictus Games and to date his future wife, Meghan Markle.
They did nothing to merit special treatment.
The Nigerian judge was formally dressed, the lawyers maintained legal decorum and protocol was followed – but this hearing was not in the comfortable confines of a Lagos courtroom, it was inside an alleged illicit drug laboratory in the thick of a dense forest.
Three Mexicans and seven Nigerians were paraded in handcuffs, as Justice Musa Kakaki inspected the chemicals and equipment they were accused of using to produce the harmful illegal synthetic drug, methamphetamine, commonly known as meth, crystal meth or, locally, ice.
They still don’t even know the name of the Brampton driver who allegedly ran a stop sign and slammed into their van, killing their five children.
It’s been more than six weeks since the deadly crash at the intersection of 4th Line and Wellington Rd. 12 in Mapleton Township, which claimed the lives of five Doerksen siblings — Susy, 4, Maggie, 6, Sara, 8, Helena, 10 and Peter, 12. Their parents, their 15-month-old brother and friends Peter and Elizabeth Bartsch sustained serious injuries.
Wikipedia was one of the great inventions of the 21st century.
I’m not kidding, nor am I overstating its importance then, nor should we underrate the social disaster that the transformation of Wikipedia has wrought. It is, perhaps, the single most influential website in the world.
