It’s finally time for Prime Minister Mark Carney to declare the U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra persona non grata. Or, at the very least, call him on the carpet, as he recently did with the Israeli ambassador following Israel’s ruthless attacks on a human rights flotilla that included some Canadians.
This time, Hoekstra’s complete lack of suitability for the job has crossed a red line.
On May 25, Pope Leo XIV addressed members of the European Parliament’s Intergroup on Demography at the Vatican with a warning that they risk becoming “the old continent”—not because of its ancient history, but because of its advancing age. Declining birthrates and population aging, according to the Holy Father, are “an urgent challenge with practical implications for millions of people and their families.”
A brief look at the numbers in the U.S. and the U.K. remind us that replacement is not just conspiracy slop.
Dr. Anthony Fauci intentionally influenced intelligence analyses to downplay findings that the Covid virus originated in a Chinese laboratory, testified CIA special operations officer James Erdman in a May 13 hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. For chairman Rand Paul, this was a long time coming.
A VEXING experience awaits anyone attempting to use cash in Britain. One enters a café, a supermarket, or even a public event carrying legal tender only to discover that physical money is treated as if it were counterfeit currency, and those who still insist on using it are regarded as if they had arrived from another planet. No law has prohibited cash. No decree has abolished it. Yet through countless small refusals repeated across daily life, people learn that participation in the economy involves digital traceability or, more simply, an erosion of privacy.
The Muslim Brotherhood is many things: a political organization with global presence; a secretive society, with high-level connections into business and government; a missionary body that seeks to maximize the presence of Islam around the world; an institution-builder, whose members are prolific in setting up organizations, putting its presence at one remove; a movement, stretching way beyond its Arab Muslim origins; and a network of networks that among other things allows Muslim and non-Muslim groups to fight alongside each other. It is associated with Hamas in Palestine and has past ties to Al-Qaeda. Its people put themselves forward as interlocutors, seeking to intercede between governments and their Muslim populations, using their networks as leverage. In some respects it is a state proxy, closely linked to Qatar and the Turkish regime of President Erdoğan. It is a charity promoter, working for the sake of Muslims and Islam worldwide, but especially in Palestine. And, last but not least, it is an ideology, with a commitment to Islamic supremacism and the defeat of the West.
These different aspects don’t always work in tandem. Indeed, the Brotherhood sometimes finds itself on different sides of political conflict. But such ambiguity can work to its advantage, creating leverage to maximize its interests and undermine its real enemies: to turn them against themselves and each other.
It seemed like a straightforward question.
‘For years we’ve heard rumors that Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, could be your half-brother. What do you think about it?’
Alina Fernandez, the 70-year-old daughter of Fidel Castro, didn’t laugh. She didn’t say no. Instead, after a slightly awkward pause, she gave a remarkably enigmatic answer.
‘The only thing I can tell you is that his mother used to visit the country [Cuba] very often…’
Then she smiled. Does she perhaps know something the rest of us don’t?
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seemingly ignored by attendees at a recent Eid al-Adha event in New York City, with fellow event-goers loudly talking over her in a video that’s gone viral on social media.
Ocasio-Cortez attended a celebration for the Muslim holiday with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the Bronx on Wednesday, during which she wore a scarf as a hijab.

So there was a business case for natural gas exports to Germany after all.
Of course, we never thought otherwise. But back in August 2022, with Europe freezing and scrambling after Russia invaded Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz came to Canada hat in hand looking for reliable LNG supplies. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looked him in the eye and delivered his classic line, that there was “never a strong business case” for Canadian LNG exports to Europe. Too expensive, too far, Europe was going green anyway, etc.
On May 22, 2026, the Pentagon released a second batch of previously classified photos and videos showing what appear to be unexplained flying objects. These file dumps were the culmination of a process that was set in motion back in July 2023, when a group of government whistleblowers testified before Congress that the U.S. government was secretly in possession of extraterrestrial spacecraft and suspected alien body parts.
That congressional hearing marked the beginning of a cultural shift in which UFO reports are increasingly treated as a matter for serious discussion, both within the government and the scientific community.
WASHINGTON/OTTAWA — In this episode I connect with Grace Jin Drexel in Washington, as she pleads for the release of her father — and, almost in spite of herself, becomes a target of the same regime that imprisoned him.
On May 7, 2026, a local court in Wood County, Ohio, handed down a sentence that should have turned the national immigration debate upside down.
Instead, it was treated like a standard piece of local police blotter grime. Anthony Emmanuel Labrador-Sierra, a 25-year-old Venezuelan national, got four to six years in state prison and a mandatory quarter-century on the Tier II sex offender registry for pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.
There are thousands of asylum seekers and illegal residents awaiting deportation who get more free health care than regular Canadian citizens. These all-inclusive care packages cost the public treasury $1 billion last year — and a recent attempt by the feds to bring it under control won’t help much, based on a Parliamentary Budget Officer report released Tuesday.

This week, the ONS published data on births during 2025. According to their data, for the first time over 40 per cent of children born in England and Wales had at least one foreign-born parent. This rate has risen from 34 per cent in 2021, pre-Boriswave. As recently as 2008 children of foreign parents were only 30 per cent of the population and in 1998, before the ‘Blairwave’, they represented fewer than 20 per cent of births.
