Europol Annual Report Admits Islamic Jihad Remains Top Terror Threat

Islamic jihad remained by far and away the largest terror threat facing the European Union, followed in second place by far-left extremists, the annual report by Europol found.

The European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report released this month stated that there were 45 terrorist incidents across Europe in 2025, of which 22 were completed, 20 were foiled, and 3 failed, resulting in the deaths of six people. Europol noted that this was a decrease over the previous year, when there were 58 attacks, 34 of which were successful, with five fatalities.

America needs a new Red Scare

America needs a new Red Scare

Adolf Hitler was something of a piker compared to Mao, the greatest mass murderer in mankind’s history. It’s impossible to measure the misery, destitution, and death inflicted by the communist dictator. Was it 20, 30, 40 million dead? We don’t really know.

For the sake of moral clarity, however, let’s concede that celebrating Mao is as grotesque as celebrating Hitler. No decent human being would do it. No decent society would normalize it.

Chinese EVs are a bundle of security risks in a metal box. Do we really want them?

Chinese EVs are a bundle of security risks in a metal box. Do we really want them?

A $25,000 electric vehicle sounds like exactly what Canadian consumers have been waiting for. But when that bargain comes from China, the real cost may have little to do with the sticker price.

Earlier this year, as part of the strategic partnership with China, Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) into the Canadian market at a favourable tariff rate. These EVs have just begun to arrive with prices between $25,000 to $35,000 – approximately half the current average cost for an EV in Canada. But before Canadian consumers get too excited or seek to jump behind the wheel of a freshly imported BYD or Dongfeng, they should understand why Canada had a prohibitive tariff rate on Chinese EVs prior to this year and what security risks the high-tech automobiles pose to both drivers and the country as a whole.

Cuban-Americans who lost property in 1959 revolution seek compensation

MIAMI—Scattered across South Florida and tucked inside bank vaults, safes and family desk drawers are the yellowing deeds to sugar mills, oil refineries and family homes seized by Cuba’s Communist government more than six decades ago.

For generations, these documents were little more than family heirlooms that served as painful reminders of fortunes lost after the revolution led by Fidel Castro’s bearded guerrillas.

Now they suddenly have potential monetary value, as the Trump administration intensifies its squeeze on Cuba’s government.

Trump threatens to target Iran’s bridges and power plants if Hormuz attacks persist

President Donald Trump has threatened that the US would destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant any time its forces attack a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

Potential targets would include ones “located next to, or in,” the capital Tehran, he said in a post on Truth Social.

The military response would follow any form of attack on shipping in the vital waterway, “whether it be by missile, rocket, drone, or any other device or weapon”.

Two Doctors with alleged ties to MS-13 charged with human trafficking in the Greater Toronto Area: police

Two men allegedly associated with the notorious criminal organization MS-13 are facing charges after police say they trafficked and sexually exploited a victim throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

In November 2025, police launched Project Mermaid after one of the suspects—who was serving a “lengthy sentence” at a Kingston, Ont., prison at the time—used an unauthorized cellphone to communicate with the victim and his co-accused.

“Investigators allege the two men used intimidation, manipulation, and threats of violence to control the (female) victim while financially benefiting from her exploitation,” police said in a news release issued Wednesday.

Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canada are an approximate 2.5% effective rate increase, less severe than headlines suggest: Economist

U.S. President Donald Trump’s move to impose 50 percent tariffs on a range of Canadian exports has sparked alarm across the country. But according to a leading trade economist, the actual economic impact may be far less dramatic than the eye-popping headline number suggests.

On Monday, Trump signed three proclamations under Section 338 of America’s Tariff Act of 1930—a provision unused for decades—imposing the new duties in response to what the administration calls Canada’s discriminatory treatment of American motor vehicles, alcohol, and dairy products.
