Ukraine’s Jehovah’s Witnesses are refusing to go to war

Ukraine’s Jehovah’s Witnesses are refusing to go to war

Prison guards led Vitalii Kryschenko to an inhospitable, cramped cell. Inside, the prisoners were curious. They watched with great interest as Kryschenko found his allotted place. A small, gentle man with a nervous expression, he wasn’t a typical criminal but a Jehovah’s Witness. Kryschenko was jailed by Ukrainian authorities for refusing to go to war; taking up arms is forbidden by his religion. He was now going to share his days with the very worst of Ukrainian society. This would include thieves, those guilty of assault or worse.

‘I was living with murderers, people jailed for life,’ he said. ‘It was terrifying. On my first night, I asked myself how I would survive in these conditions. All the same, I continued my daily prayers and read the Bible.’

WARMINGTON: Extortion by bullet has families wondering if Canada is still for them

These victims of extortion are so afraid of criminals from India operating in Canada that they will only talk if their face and voice are altered to be unrecognizable.

Even before they shoot up your house comes the terror of the threatening phone call saying if you don’t pay them, they’ll riddle your residence with bullets while you are asleep.

Hmmmm

Made in China, Stolen From America

Made in China, Stolen From America

The eyes of the world were on President Donald J. Trump and Chairman of Everything Xi Jinping at their high-profile summit in Beijing earlier this month. But behind the sunny scenes of cheering children and marching soldiers, China’s economic mischief continued in the shadows.

White House science advisor Michael Kratsios has accused China of “industrial scale” theft of U.S. artificial-intelligence technology. In an April 23 memorandum, he added: “There is nothing innovative about systematically extracting and copying the innovations of American industry, and there is nothing open about supposedly open models that are derived from acts of malicious exploitation.”

Ottawa opened the immigration floodgates and Canadians are paying the price

Ottawa opened the immigration floodgates and Canadians are paying the price

For decades, immigration in this country was tied to economic need, integration and national interest. Then Ottawa abandoned that model and opened the floodgates in the name of ideology, cheap labour and political advantage.

Now Canadians are living with the consequences.

Despite talk of lowering reliance on the TFW Program, there are currently 87 active LMIAs filed by Tim Hortons to fill jobs across Canada.

He shouts “Allahu Akbar” and “death to the infidel” while stabbing four people, killing one, at a railway station outside Munich. Bavarian authorities immediately deny that he had “an Islamist motive.” Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann adds that the attacker had “mental disorders.”

OPSEU campaigner who tweeted praise for Hitler will keep her job

OTTAWA — An OPSEU employee who came under scrutiny for social media posts praising Adolf Hitler will keep her job.

In a statement issued Friday by Canada’s largest public sector union, recently-hired campaign officer Rawan Qaddoura will not be fired over the historic posts on Twitter — now called X — that praised the Third Reich leader and repeated racist tropes that the world is controlled by Jews.

What Do the Gulf States Really Want?

What Do the Gulf States Really Want?

There is a question Washington should ask more directly: what do the Gulf states really want?

The official language is familiar: de-escalation, sovereignty, dialogue, Palestinian rights, regional stability, and balanced relations. These are legitimate concerns. But behind the communiqués lies a harder reality. Gulf capitals know that Israel is no longer isolated. They know that Iran is not merely a difficult neighbor. They also know that saying one thing in Washington, another in Tehran, another in Jerusalem, and another to Arab public opinion has become increasingly difficult to sustain.

Large groups of men twice seen climbing in and out of manholes in Brooklyn for unknown reason

New York City might have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle problem.

Trespassers were seen climbing into an open manhole on a Brooklyn street early Friday morning not once, but twice, cops said.

Just like the movie creatures who famously lived in the city sewer system, the group of about a half-dozen men have been spending hours in the slimy underground.

Rosedale could be ground zero for AI-powered security as rich Liberals come face to face with the diversity they helped import

Rosedale could be ground zero for AI-powered security as rich Liberals come face to face with the diversity they helped import

Drive through the winding, tree-lined streets of Rosedale, and you’ll find yourself admiring the Victorian, Edwardian and Tudor Revival estates.

But what you may not notice, among the manicured lawns and stone gateways, is the growing number of high-tech security measures, some of which could soon be logging licence plates and compiling a “blacklist” of suspicious individuals and vehicles.

Here’s Another Reason Cops Aren’t Checking to See If It’s a BB Gun Pointed at Them

Here’s Another Reason Cops Aren’t Checking to See If It’s a BB Gun Pointed at Them

When a gun is pointed at you, even for a split second, the barrel seems a whole lot larger than it really is. I’ve been unfortunate enough to experience that due to someone’s unsafe gun handling, so I’m talking from first-hand experience. Because of that, I don’t get worked up when there’s an officer-involved shooting, and the person shot by the police has a BB gun. I hate that it happened, and I feel awful for the officer, because I know that’s got to screw with a person’s head.

Former Snowbird pilots call on Ottawa to scale back aerobatic show instead of suspending it

Former Snowbird pilots are calling on the government to keep the iconic aerobatic show in the air by scaling back the performance rather than suspending it entirely.

The Royal Canadian Air Force recently announced it’s pausing the Snowbirds demonstration squadron at the end of the 2026 flying season until new planes arrive in the early 2030s.

Cuba Falling: A Most Unusual Meeting

Cuba Falling: A Most Unusual Meeting

There are a lot of stories about Cuba floating around right now. Some are MSM outlets acting like they have a scoop on something that’s been happening or rumored to be happening for months. Some are simply absurd and probably not true. Most aren’t actually verified by the Donald Trump administration and come from anonymous sources. I’m not even going to bother with those today. I saw this happen in the final months before we captured Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. Most of these reporters and media outlets didn’t even care about these countries until they became newsworthy, and once they do become hot topics, they’ll publish just about anything to get clicks. I can’t do that.
