Christine Van Geyn: Privacy isn’t a crime, but Bill C-22 acts like it is

Christine Van Geyn: Privacy isn’t a crime, but Bill C-22 acts like it is

Parliament’s public safety committee is currently studying a mass surveillance bill developed by the Carney government. Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, is being pilloried by civil liberties experts and the tech industry alike for the potential risk it poses to our privacy online. But legislation like this is only possible because of the profound lack of understanding so many of our elected leaders have about why privacy matters.

Are Americans Enabling Our Enemies?

Are Americans Enabling Our Enemies?

Islamic influence continues to expand in the United States. Adam Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim, won the House primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District. In the past Hamawy, not only accompanied Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheikh’ linked to the World Trade Center terror attacks, he also volunteered for an Al Qaeda-linked group. A newly formed pro-Palestinian political action committee spent more than $1.5 million to boost his candidacy.

J.D. Vance is right to defend the anger over Henry Nowak’s death

Henry Nowak’s murder, news of which quickly crossed the pond, has now morphed into a diplomatic row. The US State Department posted on X that:

“Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

Could drone warfare render the RAF’s Tempest jets obsolete before they’re in the sky?

Could drone warfare render the RAF’s Tempest jets obsolete before they’re in the sky?

TO NO ONE’S surprise, the Sunday Telegraph is reporting that the ‘Typhoon fighter replacement faces years of delay’, telling us that the ‘RAF could be waiting until 2040s for £12billion fleet of “next-generation” Tempest jets’.

In terms of the Tempest project, my only surprise is that it got off the ground in the first place.

Why does a Welsh police force have an Islamic blasphemy unit?

Why does a Welsh police force have an Islamic blasphemy unit?

Henry Nowak’s inhumane treatment at the hands of police in his dying moments has reignited the debate over two-tier policing in Britain. The political establishment – led by UK prime minister Keir Starmer – has been quick to pour water on this suggestion. But the evidence that some cultures are treated more equally than others by the authorities continues to mount.

Christopher Dummitt: There’s nothing funny about ambushing RCMP veterans

Christopher Dummitt: There’s nothing funny about ambushing RCMP veterans

By now, you probably know about the government-funded show Northland Tales, that misrepresented itself to get conservative figures like Frances Widdowson and Lindsay Shepherd to appear on tape. The producers pretended to admire the women’s work and claimed to want to highlight their voices, only to turn around and attack them on camera. There is also the not-incidental matter that almost nothing the unaired shows’ producers have allegedly done so far appears to be funny. But we are talking about CBC comedy in the 2020s, after all.

Erling Haaland and his Norway team-mates under fire for their remarkable ‘Viking’ World Cup squad photoshoot – as critics call it ‘chauvinistic’ and link it to neo-Nazis

Erling Haaland and his Norway team-mates under fire for their remarkable ‘Viking’ World Cup squad photoshoot – as critics call it ‘chauvinistic’ and link it to neo-Nazis

Erling Haaland and his Norway team-mates have been accused of ‘chauvinism’ and ‘neo-Nazi’ imagery after their World Cup photoshoot.

The Man City striker and the group heading to the US were styled as Vikings on a beach in Oslo in the extraordinary shots.

But the response to their creative send-off has split opinion in Norway, with woke critics arguing against the aesthetic due to the Vikings’ large-scale raiding, colonising, pillaging and raping throughout their dominant era.

Killjoys.

Vancouver, Toronto pay for World Cup with public money as U.S. host cities tap private sponsors

Vancouver, Toronto pay for World Cup with public money as U.S. host cities tap private sponsors

After spending more than a billion dollars for 13 World Cup games, Canada’s two host cities should have a frank discussion about how these kind of mega-tournaments are best paid for in the future, the head of Toronto’s host authority says.

Sharon Bollenbach, executive director of the FIFA World Cup 2026 for the City of Toronto, acknowledged the combined municipal, provincial and federal spending for the marquee tournament has given some people sticker shock. It’s expected to cost around $380-million to host six games in Toronto. In Vancouver, hosting costs could top $700-million.

The Lyhanna Case: A New Tragedy Exposing the State’s Failings

The Lyhanna Case: A New Tragedy Exposing the State’s Failings

A new sordid case has shocked the French public: the disappearance and death of 11-year-old Lyhanna in the Gers, involving a man identified as dangerous who had previously preyed on young girls. The case highlights a series of administrative, police, and judicial failures that reveal the state’s inability to protect children from predators who have already been identified.

On 29 May 2026, Lyhanna went missing in Fleurance, in the Gers. Very quickly, the investigation focused on Jérôme Barella, the father of a friend of the victim, who claimed to have come across the girl, driven her, and dropped her off near the village swimming pool. Investigators noted several inconsistencies in his statements and examined various pieces of evidence, notably CCTV footage.
