Draft-Age Ukrainians Excluded from Future Protection in EU Member States

Draft-Age Ukrainians Excluded from Future Protection in EU Member States

European Union member states agreed on Wednesday, July 15th to extend temporary protection rights for Ukrainian refugees until March 2028, while introducing a significant policy shift that excludes newly arriving men of military age. This decision, requested by Kyiv to help secure vital military manpower, means that the emergency protections—originally triggered after Russia’s 2022 invasion—will no longer cover new applicants who fail to satisfy their domestic military obligations back home. Under Ukrainian wartime laws, men aged 23 to 60 are generally prohibited from leaving the country.

When it comes to building up defence manufacturing, Ontario can’t afford to wait

When it comes to building up defence manufacturing, Ontario can’t afford to wait

Niagara’s Welland Canal corridor is nothing short of integral to Ontario. The 43-kilometre channel that connects Lake Ontario to Erie sees roughly $157 billion in cargo pass through it every year, contributes nearly $5 billion annually to Ontario’s economy, and supports more than 67,000 jobs in the province. Despite its economic importance today, the canal almost didn’t exist.


Doug will just give the jobs to his Sikh and Muslim pals so why bother?

Drone’s Eye View: The Spread of the Latest Ukrainian Tech to the Mexican Cartels Needs to Be Taken Seriously

Drone’s Eye View: The Spread of the Latest Ukrainian Tech to the Mexican Cartels Needs to Be Taken Seriously

An unjammable fiber-optic kamikaze drone—a drone you fly directly into a target to kill it—was recently discovered in a cartel compound, 500 miles from the U.S. border. You probably won’t have heard about this, but it’s big news. Or it should be.

It’s yet another indication of how closely drug gangs are coming to resemble state or quasi-state actors, not just in the territories they control and administer but also in the threat they pose to real states, including the United States. The classic definition of the state, derived from sociologist Max Weber, is an entity that monopolizes violence within a set of given borders. And while the cartels have been using military-grade equipment like .50-caliber machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades for some time, their determined attempts to acquire the latest drone capabilities reveal a greater ambition: to achieve technological and tactical parity with second- and maybe even first-tier nations.

The West Is a Superior Civilization (And I Don’t Care If That Offends You)

The West Is a Superior Civilization (And I Don’t Care If That Offends You)

We do not defend one civilization over another out of irrational passion. The West is not a football jersey we wear to compensate for our insecurities or our lack of personal identity. It is something closer to what the wise G. K. Chesterton said: “We are not asked to take off our heads when we enter the Church, but we are asked to take off our hats.” We do not adhere to Western values out of blind faith. We do so because there are a million reasons behind them.

The death of the shopping mall, and the rot at the heart of our society

The death of the shopping mall, and the rot at the heart of our society

For more than two decades, a structural force has been reshaping North American retail: the systematic erosion of the mid-tier. Brands and formats that once thrived serving middle-income consumers found themselves caught in a fatal no man’s land – too expensive for the price-sensitive shopper trading down to Walmart, Temu or Shein; too ordinary for the affluent consumer seeking premium experiences or luxury brands.

The Racialist State

The Racialist State

It is hard to overstate the hope that followed the fall of apartheid in South Africa in 1994. The newly elected African National Congress was well positioned to move the country into a new era of equality and prosperity for all citizens. South Africa not only had abundant natural resources at its disposal but also boasted a well-developed industrial economy and the continent’s top university system.

People are fleeing Toronto and the city doesn’t seem to care

What if Canada’s largest city started shrinking, and it wasn’t all that huge an issue, even with a municipal election just months away? This is the odd situation in which Toronto, forever caught between aspiring to and boasting of “world class” status, may now find itself. Hopefully not.


No one dares mention “White Flight”.

Racist Whoopi Rant: ‘Common Sense’ to Fear Truck ‘Full of White Guys’

Racist Whoopi Rant: ‘Common Sense’ to Fear Truck ‘Full of White Guys’

Last week, an illegal Mexican immigrant was shot by an ICE agent while reportedly attempting to run over agents with his vehicle. Since the incident, the media has been working to twist the narrative, favoring the illegal alien, Lorenzo Salgado, and attacking ICE instead. This Monday, The View took this slanted coverage a step further with ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg making a racially charged comment about it being “common sense” for him to fear “a truck full of white guys.”

Immigration is on the ballot. Here’s what some of Alberta’s multicultural communities say about the referendum

Heading into Alberta’s upcoming referendum, the question on Alberta independence easily gets the most attention.

But 10 questions are on the ballot this October, five of which concern immigration — something that has been overshadowed since the separation question was announced in May.

To find out more about how Calgary’s multicultural communities feel about these proposals, CBC News collaborated with several local ethnic media organizations for a roundtable discussion at a southside library.

Bad neighbors …

Bad neighbors …

A 70-year-old Gillette man’s treasured classic 1965 Ford Mustang disappeared from his driveway, then turned up about 100 yards away in a neighbor’s shop with its hood open and connected to a battery charger.

By then, investigators say the older man — who Campbell County Sheriff’s Office deputies describe as frail, having dementia and living in squalor — had allegedly signed paperwork transferring the car to the neighbors for $500 and a promise that his lawn would be mowed every weekend until he died.


Never a Piston Head I always thought the Mustang cool.

Pickering teen who butchered retired kindergarten teacher gets 10-year maximum youth sentence

Pickering teen who butchered retired kindergarten teacher gets 10-year maximum youth sentence

The boy who killed 83-year-old Pickering resident Eleanor Doney in her front yard as she was raking leaves has been given the maximum youth sentence for first-degree murder.

On Wednesday, Superior Court Justice Lisa Wannamaker ruled that the 15-year-old — who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) — would receive some credit for the more than 13 months he spent in pre-sentence detention, ordering he spend an additional five years in a youth facility receiving intensive programming and counselling.

Following that, he will be released back into the community under supervision for another four years


As far as I’m concerned the little psycho killed himself a Christian for Allah.

Cuba Falling: Iranian Drones and Treasonous Dems in Havana? This Is a National Security Threat.

Cuba Falling: Iranian Drones and Treasonous Dems in Havana? This Is a National Security Threat.

Every time I write one of these “Cuba Falling” articles, I feel like I need to end the “Cuba Falling” part with a question mark. I’m getting frustrated with the lack of movement, and I can’t help but wonder if we’re spread a little too thin with Iran. It’s time to finish that job and quit playing around with those animals. Cuba is becoming an even bigger hellhole than it already was. The people are starving. They have no power. It’s also clear at this point that the regime is a threat to our national security. It apparently has high-capability Iranian and/or Russian drones, and it is colluding with everyone on the radical left, from Democrat members of Congress to Code Pink, and I’d call all of that a very serious problem for the United States.
