Fraser Tolmie: Snowbirds’ ‘pause’ a devastating blow to recruitment
The Liberal government is cancelling the Snowbirds without a replacement jet in sight, after more than 50 years of service. The 431 Air Demonstration Squadron has served as a highly effective recruitment tool for the Canadian Armed Forces and a showcase of Canadian military excellence since 1971.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is ready to erase that proud legacy and deal a devastating blow to recruitment when our forces need it most.
Irrelevant Europe
Josep Borrell is a Spanish socialist who held several high-ranking positions in the European Union. Until 2024, he was a vice-president of the European Commission and the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy. In that capacity, he ran Europe’s External Action Service, which is the diplomatic body that executes Europe’s foreign policy decisions around the world. He remains a man with a great deal of influence over European perspectives.
Pentagon’s Defense Pause Is Also a Trade Warning for Ottawa
The Pentagon’s May 18 decision to pause U.S. participation in the Permanent Joint Board on Defence should not be treated as a routine bureaucratic dispute. The board is old, but not irrelevant. It sits inside the history of Canada–U.S. continental defence and carries symbolic weight beyond its meeting schedule.
The United States framed the pause as a response to Canada’s failure to make credible progress on defence commitments. That explanation may be partly true, but it is unlikely to be the whole story. The timing matters. The decision lands just weeks before the review of the Canada-United-States-Mexico Agreement, known in Washington as USMCA and in Canada as CUSMA, begins on July 1. It also comes as the United States reorganizes defence policy around homeland security, Western Hemisphere control, allied burden sharing, and deterrence of China.
Give the Greens the illegal migrants and the wind farms they vote for – in their own backyards
EARLIER this month, Reform UK, Nigel Farage’s latest political incarnation, proposed one of the sharpest political ideas of modern times: to site new migrant detention centres in areas that vote heavily for the Green Party, which famously advocates for a ‘world without borders’. Likely locations include the historic Green Party stronghold of Brighton, but after last week’s local election success the list could easily extend to newly-won councils in Norwich, Hastings, as well as the London boroughs of Hackney, Lewisham and Waltham Forest. This is nothing short of a masterstroke in political simplicity: holding people to the professed beliefs they routinely foist on others.
About That Alberta Independence Petition
Back on May 11, the Alberta Independence movement had well over 300K signatures on their petition to trigger a referendum for independence when they submitted it to Elections Alberta for verification.
Why did the BBC downplay the horror of Afghan men selling their daughters?
There’s a phrase used a lot in journalism called the ‘top line’. When you’re pitching a story to an editor and it’s not quite landing, they’ll ask: ‘Yeah, but what’s the top line?’ What is this story really about? What’s the thing readers absolutely need to understand first? Often, that becomes the headline.
Jerry Amernic: I was set up by CBC and mocked for the crime of not hating Canada
Our state broadcaster, publicly funded, is mired in ideology and short on responsible journalism. It’s alienated viewers for years. Why anyone would watch the drivel it dispenses is beyond me, but then I don’t buy lottery tickets or follow the Game of Thrones. There is also a TV network, publicly funded, to enrich our understanding of Indigenous cultures, identities and languages. Sometimes these organizations join forces.
‘Maniac’ sex criminal spits on British families as he is deported from UK on holiday flight to Turkey
A handcuffed sex criminal spat on British families while being deported from the UK on a budget holiday flight to Turkey.
Holidaymakers travelling on a Wizz Air service from London to Istanbul last Wednesday watched in disbelief as the scenes unfolded at Gatwick Airport.
The man – understood to be a Turkish national being deported after serving a prison sentence in Britain – was hauled from a van and forced onto the aircraft by officials in high-vis jackets.
Vile foreign criminal sex offender spits and screams at contracted home office officials and holidaymakers as he’s deported back to Turkey.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Many, many more to go 🚮

Canada summons Israel’s ambassador over handling of activists on Gaza aid flotilla
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says she’s summoned Israel’s ambassador over the Middle East country’s treatment of a flotilla of activists, including Canadians, bound for Gaza.
The flotilla was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters on Tuesday and later taken to an Israeli port.
Ms. Anand said Canadians were among those on the flotilla.

‘I just wanted to slap her’ — Afghan father sentenced to life in Austria for stabbing teenage daughter 12 times for dating a Romanian boy
An Afghan man has been sentenced to life in prison in Austria after trying to murder his 15-year-old daughter in a knife attack that prosecutors said was driven by claims of wounded family honor.
KAPLAN: Alberta’s carbon tax shock — why Carney-Smith’s net zero pact may backfire on the oil sands
The misguided decision by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to accept Ottawa’s demands to increase the province’s effective industrial carbon tax to $130 per tonne by 2040 will impose an estimated additional $33 billion in cumulative carbon costs (an average of $1.26 per barrel across all oil sands production) on the oil sands sector between 2030 and 2040.
Why Young Britons Don’t Know Their History
Two-thirds of young Britons don’t recognize the significance of V-E Day, according to a survey from the Royal British Veterans Enterprise. The findings, released to coincide with the 81st anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe on May 8, expose Gen Z’s shocking historical ignorance of a military victory that, for decades, was central to British identity.
These findings are no surprise. Today’s young adults have grown up at a time when Great Britain is at war with its own past. They came of age viewing footage of Black Lives Matter protesters in Bristol toppling a 125-year-old statue of Edward Colston, a slave trader and philanthropist, dragging it through the streets, and dumping it in a nearby port. Though arrested for criminal damage, the protesters were feted in popular culture. One woman performing a black power salute inspired a sculptor to create a new statue for Colston’s plinth, which drew widespread media attention when unveiled. When one of the vandals appeared in court, he told the jury, as a reporter characterized it, that Colston’s statue was “like a racist piece of graffiti which the city council had failed to remove.”
John Ivison: Canada’s military isn’t buying into Carney’s ‘buy Canadian’ plan
The decision by the Trump administration to “reassess” the value of the Second World War-era Permanent Joint Board of Defence (PJBD) points to a confusion of ideas.
In his January speech in Davos, Prime Minister Mark Carney claimed that “hegemons (like the U.S.) cannot continually monetize their relationships,” as he announced a plan to double defence spending and partner with the European Union to diversify procurement.
