Trump’s inner circle ‘raise questions over Iran deal’

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.

ROBSON: Canada should watch Algerian World Cup fans closely — from street brawls to urinating in stadiums

A widely circulated video from Algeria’s opening World Cup match against Argentina shows an Algerian supporter urinating inside the stands at Kansas City Stadium. He then appears to boast about the act, asserting that he would face no consequences in the United States.

Scott Stinson: We’re about to find out if the CBC can survive without NHL hockey broadcasts

When Rogers stunned the hockey world in the fall of 2013 by scooping up the whole of the NHL’s national broadcast rights in Canada, Hubert Lacroix, then the head of the CBC, was at the press conference, like a guest at his own funeral.

Rogers and the CBC had cut a side deal that allowed the privately owned media giant to borrow the public broadcaster’s airwaves to continue airing NHL games, while Rogers would have editorial control and sell ads and keep the revenue.

The Brits Should Declare Their Independence, Too

The Brits Should Declare Their Independence, Too

British tyranny is so repulsive that the British people owe it to themselves to overthrow their government masters. It has been two-hundred-fifty years since America’s Declaration of Independence recognized the Crown system as a threat to Americans’ lives and liberties. English-speaking peoples still suffering under the British yoke should follow suit.

The Net Zero fantasy will cripple the economy

The Net Zero fantasy will cripple the economy

WITH 2050 in mind, a government report has announced a new target reduction of emissions by the period 2038-2042. The same report restated the earlier manifesto aim to have nearly all our electricity generation ‘clean’ (i.e. emission-free) by 2030. The three aims of the 2030 plan are ‘a secure and affordable energy supply . . . new industries and investments . . . and protection of the environment’.

Notice that ‘affordable’? ‘Families and businesses across the UK,’ they say, ‘will continue to reap the benefits of the clean energy transition.’ Are your clean energy benefits continuing? Have any of you received help of any kind from this Net Zero madness?

In this episode with Jason James, I break down my criticisms of the raft of public-safety and surveillance laws Mark Carney’s manufactured-majority government is attempting to push through Canada’s Parliament before the summer break — a legislative push now drawing serious concern from privacy experts, media lawyers, civil-liberties advocates, and technology leaders including Shopify founder Tobi Lütke.

America Needs Mass Remigration

America Needs Mass Remigration

In the four years before President Trump returned to the White House, the United States of America experienced an unprecedented mass migration. From millions of ‘migrants’ crossing the border to six figures worth of unvetted Afghans being brought here illegally, the invasion wrecked entire cities, cost local communities untold billions and led to crime and violence.

There’s only one way to fix it. The mass migration must be met by mass remigration.


Canada needs it worse.

Report Claims Grooming Gangs Operated in 149 Areas Across Britain

Report Claims Grooming Gangs Operated in 149 Areas Across Britain

A privately funded inquiry organised by Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain party has accused British authorities of allowing organised child sexual exploitation networks to operate across the country for decades, claiming that political sensitivities repeatedly took precedence over protecting vulnerable girls.

The 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report is not an official government investigation and did not possess statutory powers to compel witnesses or evidence. Instead, it draws on survivor testimony, whistleblower accounts, court records, previous inquiries, and expert evidence gathered during hearings organised by Restore Britain.

It’s worse than thought in the UK

Howard Jampolsky: Canadians must pump the brakes on MAID

Howard Jampolsky: Canadians must pump the brakes on MAID

When medical assistance in dying (MAID) became law in 2016, advocates of the policy celebrated. People now had the right to ask their doctor to end their lives to avoid suffering and spare their loved ones the agony of watching them die a slow and possibly undignified death. This was argued as the most basic of human rights: the right to control one’s own destiny.

The debate was between those who believe only God can decide when we die, and those who believe people should have the right to control their own destiny. Ultimately, the law of land permitted physicians to end the life of a patient, as long rigid criteria were met.

Asylum seeker, 24, who fooled authorities into thinking he was a child so he could live with a family in the UK is jailed for groping teenage girl – while on bail for another sex attack

A ‘predatory’ asylum seeker who groped a teenage girl on a train after being freed on bail for another sexual assault has been jailed for a year.

Meron Habtu came to the UK illegally from Eritrea in 2020 and ‘fooled’ the authorities into thinking he was a child so he could be placed with a host family, when he was actually 24.

A year later he sexually assaulted a drunk woman after ‘pestering’ females coming out of bars and nightclubs.

These are the Canada‑U.S. trade irritants at the heart of high-stakes talks: sources

OTTAWA — American concerns over Canadian energy exports, dairy access and booze bans are among nearly a dozen trade irritants at the heart of intense, high-stakes talks with President Donald Trump, the Star has learned, two weeks before the North American free trade pact comes up for review.

The United States’ list of cross-border demands includes complaints about specific trade irritants and, more broadly, sectors where the Trump administration expects Ottawa to make proposals to help protect American and continental economic and national security.

Europe’s Christians: Increasingly Squeezed Between Islamists and the Left

As riots triggered by migrant attacks convulse the UK, the debate over immigration in Europe is reaching a fever pitch. The same question is asked, time and again: If nobody voted for this, why does it keep on happening? In the past two years, migrant violence has been recorded—and in some cases triggered violent public backlash—in Germany (a toddler and man stabbed to death by an Afghan); Belfast (a man stabbed in the street by a Sudanese refugee); France (a deadly stabbing by an Algerian in Mulhouse); as well as Poland, Sweden, and Spain, among others.
