Parks Canada says the creation of Canada’s national parks caused lasting harm to indigenous communities and amounted to a “colonial injustice,” according to an internal report that was kept from public view for two years before being quietly released last month.
I’m not sure why I started following the photographer Alastair Hilton on X. He’s right-ish politically, so perhaps the algorithm just blew him my way. But through the rising tide of online bilge, I still seek out and enjoy Hilton’s posts, mostly because he talks about pubs and posts pictures of cold pints on hot days.
Hilton has a narrowboat on the Thames in Chiswick and seems to half live in the bars along the river, so he was extremely cross about a recent proposal to remove the tables and chairs from the riverside, especially from his local pub, the Bell and Crown. Last week he posted a video in which he said that the word on the Chiswick street is that getting rid of the outdoor seating was the sneaky pet project of a local Green party councillor, Rick Rowe, who lives Thames-side with his boyfriend and dislikes the noise – though you’d have thought a local councillor would support a struggling pub.
This week I sat in a hearing room in Washington while officials of the United States weighed whether to place new tariffs on Canadian goods. I returned home sickened by what I saw. American companies stood up, one after another, and asked their own government for trade vengeance against foreign competitors, dressed in the language of a forced labour proceeding. Across three days of hearings, I was the only witness with a Canadian connection to appear. No one came on behalf of the Government of Canada. The invitation for a Canadian chair sat empty.
Normally, I avoid AI posts. This one is true and funny to me. Cat sings about gifting his ungrateful human.

Socialist political leaders have recently made substantial gains in the American political system, especially in urban areas and cities like New York, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Burlington (Vermont), South Fulton (Georgia), Cheektowoga (New York), Richmond (California), Allegheny County (Pennsylvania), and in congressional districts in New York, Colorado, and elsewhere following in the footsteps of New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who some speculate will run for the White House in 2028.

Nearly 100 trucking companies with a history of safety infractions, labour violations and other regulatory failures have been granted approval by Ottawa to hire temporary foreign workers since 2019, a Globe and Mail investigation has found.
The compliance issues ranged from flunking safety audits to concerns over forged documents. In some cases, companies were approved by Employment and Social Development Canada to use the migrant labour program despite failing to comply with wage theft orders issued by the same ministry.
Xavier has returned from the vet. He had a rabies shot.
He started crying the minute the car started but semi-calmed down once in the exam room.
His weight is steady at 11 pounds and he has only a slight tartar build up on his back teeth.
He is resting after a snack, and it appears jumping on things will have to wait until the vax effects wear off.
He has taken up residence in the Fortress of Solitude (under the bed) for a short recuperation.
Thank you for your concern.

I had to close all doors and secret the carrier out of sight.
Last week, the Supreme Court decided three major immigration cases, including a ruling on the scope of the Constitution’s birthright citizenship provisions. The broader immigration debate, however, remains far from settled. Disagreements persist over everything from whether and under what circumstances foreigners should be permitted to enter the United States to how vigorously existing immigration laws should be enforced, if at all. Advocates of more restrictive immigration policies and stronger enforcement tend to rely on one rationale above all others: public safety. Indeed, the extent to which immigration affects public safety is, in many ways, the central question around which the broader debate revolves.
TORONTO – Great Canadian Entertainment, the casino operator whose Richmond, British Columbia flagship sat at the epicenter of the “Vancouver Model” Chinese transnational money laundering scandal, has been ordered to pay $170,000 in monetary penalties by Ontario’s gaming regulator for failing to adequately identify, assess and monitor high-risk patrons and report suspicious activity — including potential money laundering indicators — at its Pickering Casino Resort east of Toronto.
Nearly three years after the October 7, 2023 massacre and more than six months after President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point peace plan called for the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Hamas has announced that it is dissolving its de facto governing body and is prepared to hand authority to a committee of Palestinian technocrats.
At first glance, the announcement appears to represent an important concession. It is not. It is merely Hamas’s latest attempt to deceive the international community into believing that it is complying with the requirements of the Trump peace initiative while preserving what matters most to the terrorist organization: its military power.
One of the things preventing Canada from becoming an energy superpower in an energy-hungry world is that our federal government keeps doing stupid stuff.
Justin Trudeau did it for a decade, undermining Canada’s growth by making it economically impossible to build oil pipelines without the government buying them.
An LGBTQ+ cruise ship blocked from Turkish waters this week has been refused entry into Egypt.
The Scarlet Lady’s 2,000 passengers, including the Broadway performer Patti LuPone, woke on Thursday morning to find a note placed under their cabin doors informing them that the ship was urgently looking for alternative ports.
I don’t hear much anguish from the left on this.
BRAMPTON, Ont. — Violent extortion attempts, allegedly carried out by transnational organized crime syndicates, have tormented South Asian families and business owners across Canada over the last several years with alarming frequency.
Now, one Brampton, Ont., city councillor has revealed that many in his community believe copycat criminals are behind multiple violent extortion attempts in recent weeks.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a serial anti-ICE doxxer and requested custody for a deportee who re-entered the United States and shot a small dog.
The first story regards Gregory John Curcio, a 68-year-old Santa Monica resident. He hates ICE so passionately that he has not only doxxed an ICE agent, putting her at risk of assault from wacko activists, but he also repeatedly harassed the agent’s mother, who lived in the same building as him.
