Newmarket man agrees to terrorism peace bond over alleged youth plot to join ISIS

Youth Plot …

A Newmarket man accused of plotting to leave Canada to join ISIS while still a youth has been ordered to sign a terrorism peace bond requiring him to remain in the country and avoid extremist material on social media, where prosecutors allege he became immersed in hateful content.

The now 19-year-old was arrested last December by the RCMP in connection with a terrorism investigation and was released from custody that same day on strict conditions pending the outcome of a peace bond application. His identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was a teen at the onset of the investigation.


Joining a bloodthirsty band of Muslim fanatics is not exactly a “Youth Plot”.

Family in fear after Tommy Robinson shares video of black man with white granddaughters

A family say their lives have been ruined after a video of a black man and his brother playing in the park with his white granddaughters was shared by Tommy Robinson and weaponised by the far right.

Olajuwon Ayeni, a musician from Redcar, North Yorkshire, has been racially abused and falsely labelled a paedophile in the week since the family video was stolen from the TikTok account of his wife, Natalie, whom he married five years ago, and shared by extremists online.

I sure hope there was a land acknowledgement.

PINSKY: ‘Hamas is coming for you’ shouted at Winnipeg pavilion

At Folklorama’s Israel Pavilion, Shalom Square, held at the Jewish Community Centre in Winnipeg this past week, attendees faced something that should be unthinkable in Canada. An unruly mob openly celebrated Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, directly harassing Jewish community members, their supporters, and guests of all faiths and nationalities for several hours. Frightening threats were shouted, including vile sexualized slurs aimed at women and girls and menacing declarations like, “Hamas is coming for you.” This was not just offensive speech — it was a breach of Canadian law, a violation of the basic right to safety, and a profound failure of leadership.


This starts right at the top, but hey now we can burn pavilions at Folkfest!

These Days, ‘Christian Nationalist’ Means Nothing More Than Faithful and Conservative

The left loves to slap faithful conservatives with the canard of “Christian nationalism.” The strict definition of “Christian nationalism” is a complete takeover of the government with Christians governing every aspect of society. It’s not a feasible prospect because the theological and denominational variety among Christians would make policy decisions difficult to implement.

Labour leaders demand Carney government change the law used to end Air Canada impasse

Canada’s union leaders want the Liberals to stop using a contentious piece of the country’s labour code and are prepared to back Air Canada’s flight attendants in their illegal strike to draw a “line in the concrete’” with the Carney government.

A tentative deal was reached early Tuesday between Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), but not before the federal government had invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to force flight attendants back to work. That section allows the jobs minister to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order parties into arbitration or end strikes to “secure industrial peace.” The Liberal government has used it eight times since 2024 to end strikes or lockouts, including work stoppages at railways and port strikes.

Toronto teacher fired for wearing blackface to school should get his job back, arbitrator rules

Inspired by Justin’s example.

An arbitrator has ordered that a white Toronto teacher who was terminated after he showed up at school in blackface for Halloween and told people he was dressed as a zombie should be reinstated and compensated for all wages and benefits lost in the last 20 months.

Gorian Surlan showed remorse for his actions, according to an arbitrator, who substituted a nearly two-year suspension for the high school teacher’s penalty. Surlan, who had been teaching for 19 years, came to work at Parkdale Collegiate Institute in black face makeup and black clothing on Oct. 29, 2021.

Continuing purge, Gabbard revokes security clearances of 37 former officials

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard began a fresh strike Tuesday against national security officials whom President Donald Trump deems political enemies, announcing she had revoked the clearances of 37 people, including several currently serving U.S. intelligence officials.

Gabbard’s unusual action targeted current and former officials involved in a 2017 assessment of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election that the intelligence czar has sought to undermine, individuals involved in Trump’s impeachments during his first term, and an array of others who worked for former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Poilievre will have to ‘soften the edges’, act prime ministerial as he returns to Ottawa: experts

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will have to hold the government accountable while showing he can appeal to a wider set of Canadian voters, as he gets ready to head back to the House of Commons following his resounding byelection win, experts say.

After losing his seat in the Ottawa-area riding he’d held for two decades to a political rookie in April’s general election, Poilievre won a Monday byelection in the rural Alberta riding of Battle River—Crowfoot with 80 per cent of the vote.

Now, when the House returns on Sept. 15, Poilievre will face off against new Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney for the first time in question period.

Non-Employed Non-Binary Park Ranger

A non-binary park ranger was fired by Yosemite National Park after they were caught hanging a transgender pride flag from the park’s famous El Capitan rock formation in May.

Shannon “SJ” Joslin, 35, was first hired as a ranger and wildlife biologist at the park in 2021 — their dream job that they said was stripped away in a violation of their First Amendment right.

Canada is running out of runway for its F-35 review

There was an interesting — albeit brief — recent eruption of clarity in the ongoing saga of whether Canada intends to proceed with the full order of American-made F-35 fighters.

It was courtesy of the U.S. ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, who perhaps spoke the quiet part out loud last week in an interview with Canadian independent podcaster Jasmin Laine.

Hoekstra, a no-nonsense Republican from Michigan, was asked about the Liberal government’s review of the $27.7-billion purchase of stealth fighters and the possibility that after delivery of the first tranche of jets, Canada could decide to fill the rest of its order with another type of aircraft.

Putin Calls Zelensky the West’s Illegitimate Puppet. Can He Talk Peace With Him?

If Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to meet his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, as urged by President Trump, he will come face-to-face with a man he has spent 3½ years excoriating as an illegitimate leader and puppet.

Negotiating directly with Zelensky would run sharply counter to the narrative Putin has carefully constructed and sold to Russians in an effort to justify his 2022 invasion of Ukraine: that the war is part of a broader conflict with the West in which Zelensky and his country are mere pawns.

Trump’s call for a meeting puts Putin in a bind. If he declines, he risks angering the U.S. president, who has already threatened him with more sanctions. But sitting down with Zelensky could damage him politically with the Russian elite and the broader public.
