Even though Hollywood hates, denigrates, smears, insults, and dismisses half the country as ignorant, backwards racists, this failing industry is so desperate for more corporate welfare that there’s a serious push to give the hateful bigots in Hollywood a federal tax credit.
OTTAWA — CBC/Radio-Canada’s news and current affairs content should be periodically analyzed by outside experts “in order to assess its fairness and balance,” a new Senate committee report says.
Senators were asked at a press conference Wednesday whether CBC’s coverage is in need of a course correction, or if the recommendation is meant as a preventative measure.
“It could be considered both,” said Conservative Sen. David Wells, who chairs the committee.
After Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe released the Rape Gang Inquiry Report, which documented the systemic rape and often torture of up to 250,000 young British girls at the hands of predominately Muslim rape gangs, SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk agreed with calls for Nuremberg-style trials for the perpetrators and those who enabled the heinous attacks.
Immigration Minister Lena Diab says people seeking Canadian citizenship by descent must prove their connection to Canada through each generation and that genealogy websites alone are not sufficient evidence.
Diab made the comments June 16 during Question Period in the House of Commons, when asked how many individuals had been given Canadian citizenship using inaccurate documents under a law passed last year that lets some people born before Dec. 15, 2025, obtain Canadian citizenship by descent if they can document a chain of descent to a Canadian citizen.
French activist and online commentator Thaïs d’Escufon says she could face prison for saying immigration is the number one threat to French women. In an X video posted on her page, she argues that her case demonstrates the shrinking space for free expression in France.
Europeans and American patriots!
Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.”

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Thursday berated NATO alliance partners over their military spending and lack of initial support for the US war in Iran.
Addressing fellow defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Hegseth doubled down on US President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw troops from Europe — where Washington stations them in order to aid in the defense of Europe, as well as to enable the more rapid projection of US military might abroad.
Hegseth said Washington would conduct a review to “examine America’s force posture and basing in Europe.”
When Roy Romanow was premier of Saskatchewan, he had a saying that can be paraphrased: when observers or commentators offer political statements or opinions, they are in my bailiwick and I shall be free to respond as I see fit.
Romanow’s dictum came to mind in reading Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner’s warning against “attacks” on the judicial system and portraying judges as “political actors” or “obstacles to the will of the people.”
The US-Iran memorandum of understanding announced on Wednesday amounts to a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a deal to try to reach a final agreement on almost everything else.
President Donald Trump framed it as a major win for the US in a lengthy press conference at the G7 summit in France.
Both countries later confirmed the memo had been signed electronically on Wednesday and was now in effect.
Trump’s Iran deal driven by economics, fear of midterm defeat, not ideology – analysis
US President Donald Trump reportedly received a warning in recent weeks that keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed would “trigger a global recession – not just in the US, but across the entire world.”
The warning came from several economists and senior Trump administration officials.
Donald Trump’s Iran deal met with anger, relief and incredulity
Pakistan’s prime minister has hailed the “peaceful resolution” of the conflict between the US and Iran, while congratulating the leadership of both countries for signing an agreement that he claimed would immediately reopen of the strait of Hormuz.
But amid the celebrations from Shehbaz Sharif – who has served as mediator for the deal – the release of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that gets the ball rolling on the next 60 days of negotiations between Iran and the US, has proven more divisive, eliciting a mixture of outrage, bewilderment, and relief.
A “foreign entity” has hired gunmen to shoot at synagogues in Toronto, the Secretary of State for Combatting Crime Ruby Sahota said in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Ms. Sahota made the remark in an exchange about the government’s lawful-access bill, which would require electronic service providers, such as internet companies, to provide police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service with surveillance and monitoring capabilities.
Update: WARMINGTON – Toronto Police now have wanted suspect Zara Jabbi in custody
A “foreign entity” means they’re looking for a way to blame Trump and or one of the SPLC’s white supremacist front groups.
And remember Islam has nothing to do with Islam.
Ukrainian drones have hit several locations across Moscow in Kyiv’s biggest air raid on the city since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, setting a major oil refinery on fire and forcing evacuations at the country’s largest airport.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, described the attack as a response to Russia’s striking of a historic Kyiv monastery complex earlier this week.

An RCMP officer based in Quebec has been charged with uttering threats online toward U.S. President Donald Trump while he was deployed to oversee security operations at the G7 summit last year in Alberta.
According to the RCMP, the officer, 34-year-old Evenson Dumerlus of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., allegedly posted a video on his Snapchat account “in which he made threatening comments” toward the president.
The RCMP did not divulge the nature of the alleged threat due to the ongoing investigation.
Senior allies of Donald Trump have reportedly expressed doubts about the “memorandum of understanding” between the US and Iran.
John Ratcliffe, Donald Trump’s CIA director, Marco Rubio, the secretary of state and Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, have apparently raised concerns.
The three men, all prominent members of Mr Trump’s inner circle, are said to be sceptical about how willing Iran genuinely is to make concessions on its nuclear programme, according to Axios.
🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump has SIGNED the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran while at the Palace of Versailles in France
Iran has signed off as well, per Axios, and the deal is in effect IMMEDIATELY.
