The Democratic National Committee (DNC) officially booted 25-year-old David Hogg from his vice chair position on Wednesday after his attempts to primary certain Democrats in Congress.
In May, the DNC moved to void Hogg from his position following his announcement to spend millions to help unseat select Democrat members in the 2026 primaries. Results from a virtual vote, first obtained by Politico, showed Hogg had been removed and will be required to run again for his position next week.
One of the first petitions to Canada’s new Parliament has landed, and the topic is slavery. Endorsed by Gord Johns, an MP from British Columbia who managed to survive the recent NDP annihilation, it demands an apology to Black-Canadians from the Government of Canada: “Black Canadians have endured centuries of systemic racism, beginning with transatlantic slavery, followed by legalized segregation and ongoing institutional discrimination in policing, education, employment, housing, health care and the justice system.… The Government of Canada has yet to formally apologize.”
The US has launched a review of its multi-billion dollar submarine deal with the UK and Australia, saying the security pact must fit its “America First” agenda.
Under the trilateral pact, believed to be aimed at countering China, Australia is to get its first nuclear-powered subs from the US, before the allies create a new fleet by sharing cutting-edge tech.
Both Australia and the UK – which did its own review last year – have played down news of the US probe, saying it is natural for a new administration to reassess.
Asuspected Indian government agent had Jagmeet Singh under close surveillance, prompting the RCMP to place the New Democratic Party leader in police protection 18 months ago, sources have told Global News.
The agent, who is allegedly tied to activities directed by the Indian government, had access to intimate knowledge of Singh’s daily routines, travel and family, according to the sources familiar with the matter.
A Big Apple mom was filmed begging anti-ICE protesters to let her get to her job as they blocked traffic Tuesday — just for one to admit he didn’t care while sarcastically mocking her.
Just watched 2 white liberals stop traffic and tell a mother who was begging to go to work, that illegals and their children are more important.
I then asked them how they felt stopping a black woman from getting to work
They both laughed in our facespic.twitter.com/XA1zItqIHq

Canada and the United States are exchanging potential terms of agreement in closely held talks on an economic and security deal, The Globe and Mail has learned, but these do not represent the draft text of an actual pact.
These exchanges are an effort to spell out what both sides might be able to agree upon as Ottawa and Washington try to find enough common ground to end their damaging trade war, sources said.
The Globe is not naming the sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Syria’s government has banned bikinis from public beaches in a set of new guidelines that limit women to wearing “burkinis” that cover the entire body.
The move revives concerns by liberals after the government, led by President Sharaa, sought to allay fears that it would impose a strict interpretation of Islam after toppling Bashar al-Assad in December. Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda commander, oversaw an Islamist government in his former bastion, Idlib, before leading his troops to the capital, Damascus.
Canadian policymakers are helicoptering money to stimulate building, but it doesn’t appear to be working. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows the total value of building permits fell sharply in April, dropping to the lowest monthly volume in nearly a year. The annual decline was so large it was amongst the largest since 2020.
Foreign-born heads of households in London cost Britain around £3.6 billion a year in discounted rent, Telegraph analysis suggests.
Nearly half of all social housing in the capital, 48 per cent, is occupied by foreign-born heads of household, data from the 2021 census shows. This is well over the national average of 19 per cent.
These households benefit from cheap rents which, when compared to private rent in London, average out at a discount of around £11,600 per year per household.
An Air India flight bound for London Gatwick, carrying 53 British nationals, has crashed in India’s western city of Ahmedabad.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner came down shortly after take-off into a residential area, leading to a massive explosion.
A partially intact plane was seen sticking out from a building, with thick black smoke rising over the city as people were pulled from the wreckage and taken away in ambulances.

Some of the responses to my most recent column were interpreted as support for independence, and indeed that is the position of the Western Standard. But my view is more than wordsmithing — independence, if necessary, but not necessarily independence.
A referendum is certainly in our future, and current support will surprise many in Central Canada. My view is that the breakup of Canada would be a colossal failure of all parties and entirely unnecessary. But sadly, it appears inevitable.
On June 1, Poland jolted the globalist movement, with Karol Nawrocki, a conservative historian and defender of national heritage, winning the presidential race in a narrow but decisive victory. His win is not an outlier but part of a broader European trend, in which voters across the continent have increasingly supported leaders who promise to defend their national identity and borders.
A decade after Germany threw open its borders to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, it is time to confront an obvious truth: The open-border experiment has failed. The promises of humanitarian uplift, cultural enrichment, and economic growth have instead birthed troubling social fragmentation, deepening economic insecurity, and surging waves of crime that are reshaping the continent — and world.
The rot is deep.
True to his campaign word, President Trump continues to pursue the reformation of our failing institutions of “higher learning” –– the long decay of which has earned them the scare quotes. Harvard, with international prestige (especially in Communist China), and the country’s largest tax-free endowment, is currently Trump’s Admiral Byng, whom the British Navy hanged “to encourage the others,” as Voltaire quipped.
OTTAWA — Former NDP MP Charlie Angus says he does not intend to run for party leadership, but called the recent election “an unmitigated disaster” for New Democrats.
Angus, who did not seek reelection after first entering the House of Commons in 2004, appeared on Parliament Hill on Wednesday to express concerns he has heard from people about U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming trip to attend the G7 leaders’ summit in Alberta.
Elizabeth Weise at USA Today decided to comment on the anarchy that’s currently raging across Los Angeles, and here’s her two cents: if you’re going to light other people’s cars on fire, at least make sure it’s not an electric vehicle, because that would be bad for the environment and your fellow rioters. (On the contrary: perhaps we can encourage them to stand as close as possible to the flames and take big deep breaths?)
What’s happening in Los Angeles is not a protest. It is a riot.
Violent mobs are attacking law enforcement, torching cars, and wreaking havoc in the streets because ICE did its job.
This is what happens when you turn a blind eye to lawlessness.
