NATO’s European members and Canada have signaled a readiness to fully take over the financing of Ukraine’s fight against Russia

NATO members are hoping to pledge €70 billion ($80 billion) in military aid to Ukraine for 2026 and “at least equivalent levels” of support in 2027, when they meet at an upcoming summit in Turkey on July 6 and 7.

The funding pledge was revealed in a released text of the summit’s declaration, which was approved by the ambassadors of all NATO’s ⁠32 members, including the United States.

… European NATO members and Canada will provide the majority of the funding.

The move comes in response to declining support to provide aid to Ukraine by US President Donald Trump, with Kyiv’s European allies signaling a readiness to take over the financing of Ukraine’s fight against Russia.

So all of Canada’s problem’s are solved?

Few figures did more to build modern Canada than William Van Horne. The irrepressible railroad executive drove the laying of the ribbons of steel that brought commerce and settlement to the West, sealing British Columbia’s membership in Confederation and knitting the country together from coast to coast.

As a leader of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, Mr. Van Horne connected citizens of the new country together in ways many had considered impossible, delivering transportation and telegraph communication across thousands of kilometres. Doubt hung so heavily over the project that at one point Ottawa offered B.C. a wagon road instead. Alexander Mackenzie, the country’s second prime minister, had predicted the line would take more than a decade to build, even “with all the power of men and all the money of the Empire.”

Hoekstra says no ‘significant progress’ in 14 months of trade negotiations, but U.S. to keep talking

The U.S. envoy to Canada says 14 months of trade talk between Canada and the Trump administration has resolved few issues, but insists the Americans will keep talking in the hopes of striking an agreement on the future of CUSMA, as well as settling other issues.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra made the remarks on CBC’s Ottawa Morning, where he was asked by host Rebecca Zandbergen how far apart he believes Canada and the United States are on settling the trade irritants that are frustrating a renewal of CUSMA.

Henry Nowak’s killer has launched a bid to have his murder conviction quashed and his sentence reduced.

Court Finds Syrian Home Care Workers Abused Swedish Elderly People in Their Care

Court Finds Syrian Home Care Workers Abused Swedish Elderly People in Their Care

Two former home care workers of Syrian descent, Ghazi Jamal Eddin and Mohammad Kher Alhasan in Örebro have been convicted of filming and humiliating elderly people in their care, a case that has prompted Swedish MEP (Sweden Democrats/ECR) Charlie Weimers to call for the deportation of those responsible.

One of the culprits, Eddin, a 22-year-old Syrian man, was found guilty of 36 counts of offensive photography and seven counts of molestation after recordings showed him verbally abusing vulnerable residents while carrying out his duties. According to the district court, he repeatedly filmed elderly people in their own homes without their knowledge or consent, often targeting victims suffering from dementia, before sharing some of the recordings with others.

Israel Ellis: It’s minutes to midnight for Canada’s Jews

Israel Ellis: It’s minutes to midnight for Canada’s Jews

In 1947, a group of scientists created a clock — to measure a world teetering on the edge of its own destruction. Born from the fear of a nuclear arms race between Moscow and Washington, they called it the Doomsday Clock. Its face was simple: an analogue dial, a single minute hand leading to midnight — the point of no return.

The American Revolution Was Fought And Won In Neighborhood Bars

The American Revolution Was Fought And Won In Neighborhood Bars

Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge noticed it from across the room. For eight years, he had watched Washington and learned to read the small signals: the set of the jaw, the economy of movement, the way the general’s silence could crowd out other men’s noise. He had never seen the hand shake — not at Long Island, where the army nearly dissolved into the East River; not at Valley Forge, where it nearly froze to death; not at Yorktown, where it won.

Charles, Ditherer of the Faith

Charles, Ditherer of the Faith

AS A child, I was the sort of clever-clogs who examined his pennies before spending them on sweets. So I learned early on that Fid Def – or simply F D – imprinted around the head of the monarch on our coinage is Latin, short for Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith).

The title was conferred on the devoutly Catholic Henry VIII by Pope Leo X in 1521 in recognition of the king’s book A Defence of the Seven Sacraments, a counter-blast to the Protestant Reformation being preached by Martin Luther. Henry of course went on to blot his prayer book by declaring himself head of the Church in England. England became a Protestant nation, but subsequent monarchs were still called Defender of the Faith. Now, however, King Charles III seems to be watering down that 500-year-old legacy.

He defends Islam near as I can tell, certainly not his own people.

Blue cities celebrate Somali independence, dis American independence

Blue cities celebrate Somali independence, dis American independence

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey celebrated Somali Independence Day.

Sister city St. Paul, the state’s capital, raised the Somali flag over its City Hall in honor of Somali independence, a flag that looks suspiciously like the newly adopted Minnesota state flag.

Odd. Surely a coincidence.
