Hoekstra says Trump serious about tariff threat over wildfire smoke

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says President Donald Trump‘s threat to impose new tariffs over smoke from Canadian wildfires should be taken seriously, arguing the ongoing haze is causing economic damage in the United States.

Amnesty Forced Into Humiliating Climbdown Over ‘Anti-Trans’ Report

Amnesty Forced Into Humiliating Climbdown Over ‘Anti-Trans’ Report

Amnesty International UK is under growing pressure after experiencing pushback from a number of organisations it smeared for their alleged ‘anti-trans’ or ‘transphobic’ outlook.

A Growing Threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK was published on July 8th, 2026, and removed just two days later. The hasty response—from an organisation which took two years to acknowledge the Hamas October 7th atrocities—was prompted by a backlash from many of the groups the report berated for being part of an “anti-rights” movement. Past donors also raised concern about Amnesty’s capture by gender ideology.

Canada-US Bridge Pact Omits Canada’s Debt Costs, Document Shows

Canada-US Bridge Pact Omits Canada’s Debt Costs, Document Shows

Canada and the US agreed to split the profit from a new bridge between Ontario and Michigan for 15 years — with no provision to cover Canada’s debt-service costs on the project, according to a copy of the pact seen by Bloomberg News.

The agreement in principle covering the Gordie Howe International Bridge appears to contradict earlier public remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney. And it shows what Canada conceded to get the President Donald Trump’s administration to stop blocking the 1.5-mile bridge over the Detroit River.


Carney lies always.

RUBENSTEIN: Treaty 8 chiefs have no grounds to demand resource revenue sharing on ceded lands

RUBENSTEIN: Treaty 8 chiefs have no grounds to demand resource revenue sharing on ceded lands

In response to a recent Western Standard news story about indigenous grievances, Treaty 8 chiefs’ claims for resource revenue sharing on ceded Western Canadian lands lack a clear legal and historical foundation, which is essential for understanding their legitimacy and impact.

While the phrase “Treaty 8 territory” seems to refer to lands surrendered to the Crown in the 1899 agreement, understanding the temporal context of these land surrender agreements helps clarify why current claims for resource revenue sharing are legally and historically unfounded.

Marco Rubio: A war against domestic terrorism

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a powerful public declaration against domestic political terrorism in front of an international audience Thursday in Washington, D.C.

His concept of terrorism got at the heart of what fuels it: radical progressive leftism.

British Columbia Moves to Seize White Rock and Surrey Homes From Alleged Cartel Trucking Broker Ravinder Dhanda, Days After U.S. Indictment Named Him a Corridor Kingpin

The Long History of Muslim Enslavement of European Women

The Long History of Muslim Enslavement of European Women

The Pakistani grooming gangs in the UK have made as many as 250,000 English girls and women into sex slaves for Muslims, with many the victims suffering long-term trauma as a result. For years the British police did not investigate these gangs, for fear of being labeled as “racists” and “Islamophobes.” But finally, there were so many outcries from parents and other relatives of these girls, and fury among politicians of the center-right, that the police had to act. Trials have been held, and so far hundreds of grooming gang members have been sent to prison. Now, Rupert Lowe, the head of the newly-founded anti-Muslim immigrant party, Restore Britain, has released a report on the rape gangs. The report details the long history of Muslim enslavement of European women.

Why television isn’t funny anymore

Why television isn’t funny anymore

The occasion this month of the mockumentary The Office celebrating the 25th anniversary of its first appearance on television, an anniversary marked by a couple of actual documentaries, will have prompted some to revisit the comedy, or watch it for the first time.

Many who have done so will have inevitably asked themselves the same question: why did television comedy used to be so funny, and why is that not the case anymore? It’s not a conclusion that will be confined to us old timers: it’s said that there is vogue for all things turn-of-the-millennium among generations Y and Z.

Michael Higgins: There’s no justice in jailing people for residential school ‘denialism’

Michael Higgins: There’s no justice in jailing people for residential school ‘denialism’

Five years after the Kamloops “graves” controversy first erupted, and with zero bodies discovered, First Nations chiefs are pushing hard to make residential school denialism an imprisonable offence.

But Canadians should not have to face up to two years in jail for denying what the chiefs describe as their “truth.” Are we only to speak about the horrors of residential schools, or will survivors with “warm memories” face prison?

Denmark will ban burkas in schools and universities under plans to tackle ‘parallel societies’

Denmark will ban burkas in schools and universities as part of a plan to tackle what it calls ‘parallel societies’.

The garment worn by some Muslim women is already banned in public places in the Scandinavian country, but the move would now expand the order into classrooms across Denmark.

In Denmark, the term ‘parallel societies’ refers to residential areas where more than half of inhabitants are from an immigrant background.
