Only 530 Recruits Join German Military Under New Voluntary Scheme

Germany’s voluntary military recruitment drive has yielded just 530 new recruits from almost 300,000 18-year-olds contacted this year, prompting harsh criticism of the government’s plans to rejuvenate the country’s armed forces.

Five months after the launch of Germany’s new military registration system, the Defence Ministry said it had sent questionnaires to 298,200 young men and women who turn 18 in 2026. While completing the questionnaire is mandatory for men, women are invited to participate voluntarily.

FERGUSON: Canadians should reject the attempt to minimize their history and culture

FERGUSON: Canadians should reject the attempt to minimize their history and culture

Recent statements by Canadian politicians show that the Canadian political class wishes for Canadians to apologize for their history and minimize the qualities of their culture. Contrary to those statements, Canadians have little to apologize for and much to be proud of. Former prime minister Justin Trudeau famously remarked that Canada is a “post-national state without an identity.” Current Prime Minister Mark Carney recently remarked while in Ireland for the G7 summit that Canada is “a mosaic of cultures, not a melting pot.” In 2025, BC New Democratic MLA Rohini Arora said that Canadians should consider themselves to be “colonizers.” When Trudeau says that Canada does not have an identity, it minimizes the historical exceptionalism and qualities Canada has. As the current Prime Minister is attending an international event peddling Canada as a middle power, he is making the case that all cultures are compatible with Canadian culture. The comments from the New Democratic MLA in BC attempt to ensure that Canadians think their culture is so inferior to other cultures that Canadians should only consider themselves to be colonizers.

Michael Higgins: Carney’s so-called ‘major projects’ mired in endless environmental review

When Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to build at speeds not seen in generations, Canadians could be forgiven for thinking he meant to actually accelerate projects.

Friday marks the one-year-anniversary of the Building Canada Act receiving Royal Assent and since that time not one “nation-building” project has been approved under the legislation.

Never Forget What The Covid ‘Experts’ Did To Us

Never Forget What The Covid ‘Experts’ Did To Us

A 2024 video montage serves as a painful and necessary reminder of what they did to us — and why the Trump Department of Justice needs to hold them accountable so that they can never do it again.

The “they” in question are the scientists, bureaucrats, health officers, the Big Pharma executives, the “experts” who destroyed so many lives with orders and lockdowns and lies.

How the West conquered the world, then spent the next hundred years apologizing for it

How the West conquered the world, then spent the next hundred years apologizing for it

Today, the word colonialism is treated almost like a curse word. Mention it in a classroom, on social media, or in many political circles, and you’ll immediately hear words like exploitation, racism, oppression, genocide, and theft. For many people—especially younger generations—colonialism has become history’s ultimate villain, the so-called “original sin” from which nearly every modern problem supposedly springs.

As a conservative, I’ve always thought this view was far too simplistic.

Carney says donor list for 24 Sussex restoration will be public

Carney says donor list for 24 Sussex restoration will be public

Prime Minister Mark Carney said the national fundraising campaign for the refurbishment of the prime minister’s official residence will place a limit on donations and make the list of donors public to ensure transparency in the project.

Carney said the Rideau Hall Foundation, which is running the fundraising campaign, will make a final decision on donation limits, but his “thinking is the limit would be 10 per cent of the overall amount raised or a specific cap.”

The donations will only be accepted if they are from individual Canadian citizens, permanent residents or philanthropic organizations. Corporations will not be allowed to participate.

The Deen Fallacy: How the West Came to Misclassify Islam

The Deen Fallacy: How the West Came to Misclassify Islam

One of the most consequential misunderstandings in modern Western thought concerns a single Arabic word.

For generations, Western governments, courts, academics, journalists, and policymakers have referred to Islam as a religion. The classification is so deeply embedded in Western institutions that it is rarely questioned. Yet the assumption rests largely upon Western interpretations of Islamic terminology rather than on how Islam defines itself in its own primary sources.

James Carville: “I’m Not In That F____ Political Party”

James Carville: “I’m Not In That F____ Political Party”

The Democrats have a problem. They outsourced the ideology and the culture to the farthest left which means the party no longer has any other identity or any ideological brakes. The lack of competitive districts due to gerrymandering and election consolidation means that a small number of primary voters, mainly leftists, are choosing members of Congress even when those people are open Communists or openly support Islamic terrorists.

Terry Newman: Israel expressed concern about ‘Nakba’ exhibit. Carney didn’t even bother responding

The National Post has learned that Prime Minister Mark Carney has not responded to a letter sent more than a week ago by Israel’s ambassador to Canada, outlining his concerns about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ “Nakba” exhibit, which is slated to open on Saturday.

Ambassador Iddo Moed said he wrote the letter because he was “greatly concerned” following the publication of several reports about the upcoming exhibit.

Newly released video shows moment Henry Nowak’s Sikh killer repeatedly lies to police telling them his dying victim was ‘racist, drunk and hadn’t been stabbed’ – as cop tells him, ‘I know mate’

Newly released video shows moment Henry Nowak’s Sikh killer repeatedly lies to police telling them his dying victim was ‘racist, drunk and hadn’t been stabbed’ – as cop tells him, ‘I know mate’

Newly released bodycam footage today reveals the lies Vickrum Digwa told police after killing Henry Nowak – and how differently he was treated to the young man he murdered.

Digwa falsely accused Henry of being racist, claiming he had called him a ‘p*ki’ and acted as the drunken aggressor who ‘escalated the situation’ – as he stood unhandcuffed while medics performed CPR just yards away.

An officer at the scene repeatedly calls the attacker ‘mate’ and, moments after arresting him, reassures him: ‘I’m not saying you’ve done anything.’

Brussels Wants To Close the Door on Military-Age Ukrainians

Brussels Wants To Close the Door on Military-Age Ukrainians

The European Commission has proposed extending the temporary protection regime granted to displaced Ukrainians until March 2028, but with a politically explosive change: newly arriving Ukrainian men of military age who do not have authorization to leave their country would be excluded from that automatic protection.

For now, the restriction would not affect those already covered by the European system. But it would change the entry route for a very specific category of people: Ukrainian men with the legal or potential capacity to fight.

BERNARDO: Another cross-border illegal gun pipeline exposes Ottawa’s public safety misdirection

Another US-to-Canada firearms trafficking case shows where the real public safety threat lives: smugglers, straw purchasers, border pipelines, and organized crime.

The latest US-to-Canada gun trafficking case does not point to hunters, sport shooters, collectors, farmers, or licenced firearms owners: the focal point of Ottawa’s firearms confiscation schemes.

After the Protectorate: America, Europe, and the Return of the Decision

After the Protectorate: America, Europe, and the Return of the Decision

or 70 years, the transatlantic relationship rested on a fiction that flattered both sides. America was the guarantor of a rules-based order, and Europe was its co-architect. The fiction was useful, and for a long stretch it was even partly true. But it hid a harder fact, and that fact is now impossible to ignore. Europe was never the coauthor of that order. It was its protected interior. The arrangement had a name we were too polite to use: a protectorate.
