Trump Administration Weighing Immigration Ban on Members of Islamic Extremist Groups – Liberal Party Hardest Hit
Top Trump administration officials are drafting plans to restrict both temporary visits and legal immigration by Muslims affiliated with the revolutionary Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups.
“We are taking a new look at sections within the INA [Immigration and Nationality Act] that have never been used before to really get a better sense of who these applicants are, and then we’ll be able to assess” what can be done to exclude militant Muslims, said Joe Edlow, director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency.
Toronto film fest nixes Oct 7 doc screening, cites Hamas ownership of massacre clips
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced this week that it had canceled its invitation to screen a documentary about the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, due to ostensible copyright concerns stemming from the fact that the filmmakers did not receive permission from the Hamas terrorists whose clips are featured in the film.
Qualification for tax payer subsidies in the arts must require that you hold far left extremist views. Just like joining the Nazi Party was a means to career advancement.

Small US towns cancel fairs celebrating Latino culture – ‘climate of fear is real’
Harrisonburg, Virginia, a town of 50,000 people in the Shenandoah Valley, should have been alive with the color, sound and smells of local Latino culture. Soccer tournaments, taco trucks, Salvadorian chanchona musical bands and about 4,000 visitors were last month set to attend the town’s Hispanic Festival held at a sports complex outside the town.
But this year, it’s not happening.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents have been active in the Harrisonburg area for months, prompting organizers to cancel the festival.

Tory police chief faces backlash over telling public to stop shoplifters
A policing chief is facing criticism over his “dangerous” comments telling the public to stop shoplifters and not just rely on police officers to curb thefts.
Matthew Barber, the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, branded people who do not do anything in the face of shoplifting as “part of the problem”.
How much can you steal before you go to jail?
Thanks to the Conservatives, shoplifting is now effectively legal up to £200. pic.twitter.com/kU95HdUKJA

Shorter Globe: Canada’s Corporate Welfare Class Needs More Cheap Foreign Labour
Why to drop a bad idea on immigration
The federal government seems to be quietly abandoning a program that would have opened a door to permanent residency for temporary foreign workers employed in low-wage jobs in Canada.
The program, mentioned unceremoniously in a bulletin in the Canada Gazette in April of 2024, appeared to offer a quick path to permanent residency for international students and temporary foreign workers making a living as food and beverage servers, delivery drivers, cleaners and general labourers.
What sort of scumbags would happily sacrifice Canadians for cheap foreign labour?
Corporate Canada that’s who.
I swear they’re gonna make me some sort of new wave communist.
US announces criminal charges against Haitian gang leader Barbecue
US federal prosecutors have announced criminal charges against Jimmy Cherizier, the Haitian gang leader known as “Barbecue” who leads an alliance of gangs that control much of the capitol of Port-au-Prince.
The indictment alleges that Mr Cherizier, as well as US citizen Bazile Richardson, 48, solicited funds from Haitian diaspora community in the US to help pay gang members and buy firearms in violation of US sanctions.
Mr Cherizier, a former police officer who is at large in Haiti, leads the group Viv Ansanm (Live Together). The US is offering $5m (£3.7m) for information leading to his arrest.
Doug Ford heading to Ottawa for a ‘heart to heart’ with Mark Carney
The summer bromance between Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney will continue next week in Ottawa.
“So Monday, I’m going up to have a one-on-one meeting with the prime minister,” the premier told reporters Tuesday in Windsor.
With U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war on Canada, Ford said he would be appealing to Carney to lower taxes to “create the environment” to help people and businesses weather the tariff storm.
I’m sure Ford will be a big help.
Rubio: US ‘in Process’ of Terrorist Label for Muslim Brotherhood … Liberal Party of Canada On Borrowed Time
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Tuesday that the U.S. is in the process of designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
Speaking to Sid Rosenburg of “Sid and Friends in the Morning,” Rubio was asked about the support that New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is getting from groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Trump has many valid reasons to distrust Canada’s ruling class and certainly its Islamist compromised Liberal Party, in fact he has almost as many reasons as Canadians do.
LILLEY: Canada playing small ball in trade talks with the United States
Canada, under Mark Carney, continues to play small ball while the United States under Donald Trump keeps trying to score home runs. If this were a baseball game, we would have pulled the pitcher by now and tried to figure out which other players we could replace.
While Canada got hit with more tariffs on Friday night, China received a 90-day extension on more tariffs on Monday.
National guard begins deploying on DC streets after Trump police takeover
The Washington DC national guard began deploying on the city’s streets on Tuesday night, as the city’s mayor toughened her response to Donald Trump taking control of the city’s police force.
The unusual federalization of law enforcement in the US capital began a day after the president ordered the troops’ arrival, calling Washington DC a “lawless” city, despite official crime statistics saying otherwise, a White House official confirmed.
Muriel Bowser, the Democratic mayor of Washington, hardened her stance on Tuesday night after treading a more diplomatic line earlier in the day. During a live town hall type event on social media on Tuesday night, she described the arrival of federalized national guard as an authoritarian push.
Carney’s $26B bet on prefab housing could be a gamechanger — but will everyone play along?
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s vow to double Canadian housing construction to 500,000 units a year would seem to be an ambitious enough goal.
But Carney’s housing plan is also an industrial strategy meant to kick-start a nascent factory-built housing industry and rejuvenate Canada’s ailing forest products sector.
With his $26 billion Build Canada Homes (BCH) agency, which goes into operation this fall, Ottawa hopes to increase production of innovative housing types including prefabricated, modular, panelized and mass timber housing.
Dutch Muslim Groups File Complaint Against Geert Wilders Ahead of Decisive Election
Fourteen Dutch Muslim organizations have filed a formal legal complaint against right-wing leader Geert Wilders, accusing him of sedition, group insult, and incitement to hatred over a divisive social media post ahead of the November elections.
The complaints cite an image Wilders shared on X last week. The split-screen graphic contrasts a young blonde woman with the caption “PVV” (Wilders’ Party for Freedom) on one side with an older woman in a headscarf captioned “PvdA” (the Labour Party) on the other, with the following text: “The choice is yours on 29/10.” The date references the upcoming Dutch parliamentary elections where polls project the PVV to win.
About 40% of Canadians, Americans believe lasting peace can be reached in Ukraine war: poll
Almost half of Canadians believe the federal government is providing the right amount of support to Ukraine in the war against Russia, while 14 per cent think Canada is not supportive enough, according to a new poll.
The poll, which was conducted by Leger for the Metropolis Institute and the Association for Canadian Studies, compared Canadian and American opinions about the war, which started in 2014, but reached a new height in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.
