The Trump administration has accused Europe of being an “incubator” for terrorism fuelled by mass migration, in a new counter-terrorism strategy unveiled on Wednesday.
The strategy also focuses on rooting out “violent left-wing extremists” including “radically pro-transgender” groups, as Trump’s conservative administration steps up its political attacks on opponents.
It also further places drug cartels in the Americas at the centre of counter-terrorism efforts.
I’ll bet you heard or read that the Carney government’s spring economic update last month showed the federal deficit had fallen more than $11 billion from the $78.3 billion forecast in last November’s federal budget.
That sounds like good news. Not great news. Even at $66.9 billion the deficit in the coming year will be the largest in Canadian history, larger than the largest Trudeau deficit.

She gained widespread attention (and criticism) after a video from her LIOR fashion show/burlesque event at Emily Resort (around May 3, 2026) went viral. In it, she was filmed dancing and throwing stacks of cash (reportedly ~$150,000) while celebrating the new collection. The event featured elaborate staging, performers, and a large audience.
Her husband is Dmytro Khandusenko (or similar spelling), deputy head of the State Audit Service (Southern/Odesa office) in Ukraine. His official salary is low (~$900/month), which has fueled public outrage and questions about the source of the couple’s wealth amid the ongoing war, international aid to Ukraine, and anti-corruption concerns. The family has been noted for luxury assets (e.g., Range Rover, Bentley, jewelry) in prior declarations and reports.
Some to Carney, some to Freeland, some to Trudeau …
Canada’s restaurant industry is often treated as a symbol of resilience. Through inflation, lockdowns, labour shortages, and supply chain disruptions, restaurateurs have somehow kept the lights on. But beneath the surface of the latest sales numbers lies a much darker reality: The economics of operating a restaurant in Canada are becoming increasingly untenable.
The New York Times (NYT) has been sued for alleged discrimination against a white male employee after he was passed over for an editor’s job that went to a multiracial woman.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused the newspaper of breaching civil rights law by discriminating against the unnamed male candidate based on his race or sex, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.
The unnamed complainant, who has worked at the newspaper since 2014 and says he has “considerable experience with real estate news”, was interviewed for the deputy property editor role, but not advanced to the final round.

PSG is widely supported by the usual suspects, riots are the norm.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is engaging in a bit of creative communications with his announcement that special constables will soon be able to arrest those using illicit drugs on public transit.
The reality is that special constables, who patrol transit systems including the TTC in Toronto and OC Transpo in Ottawa, are already authorized to perform arrests for Criminal Code violations based on the way their roles are defined by their specific employers (in Ottawa, for example, as peace officers appointed by the Ottawa Police Services Board). What the Ford government is proposing is to allow these special constables new, simplified provincial authority to make arrests and lay charges via an amendment to the Restructuring Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act, which was passed last year. It’s just complicated enough to distract everyone from Mr. Ford’s private-jet purchase.
I don’t see anything getting better.
A Georgia family claim their son’s beloved therapy pig was shot dead on their street by hungry neighbors.
Garrett Cox, 12, has been left heartbroken ever since the death of his 400-pound hog Bootsy.

On Jan. 28, 2022, Richmond, B.C., teacher Nicole Kowal-Seafoot told a colleague before a class presentation that, “I might be losing my job today.”
More than four years after she lost her job, for a presentation that was in favour of the self-styled “Freedom Convoy,” which protested vaccine mandates at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a labour arbitrator ruled that the Richmond School District’s decision was excessive.
Kowal-Seafoot’s presentation to her Grade 6 and 7 students featured a caricature of former prime minister Justin Trudeau with his head on a chicken.
The city of Memmingen is in mourning following the discovery of 14-year-old Jermaine B., whose body was found in a dilapidated building after a massive weekend manhunt.
The case took a violent turn on May 4th, when the primary suspect—a 37-year-old rejected asylum seeker—was shot dead by police after attacking officers with a knife.
OTTAWA — Conservatives are blaming the federal government’s electric vehicle strategy after reports that Honda is indefinitely suspending plans for a $15 billion electric vehicle project in Ontario.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s appointment of Louise Arbour as governor general is not a neutral choice. It makes a statement — one that many Jewish Canadians will read with deep unease.
Arbour’s resumé is formidable: former justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, a figure of global stature. But Rideau Hall is not a lifetime achievement award. It is a test of judgment — and of the ability to embody fairness in the eyes of all Canadians.
She’s pissed off a lot of Canadians.
The conscienceless monster that is left-wing political violence has a voracious appetite. And the Trump-hating media are feeding it.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds a majority of likely U.S. voters — 60 percent — believes that the constant barrage of negative coverage of President Donald Trump likely contributed to the latest assassination attempt. The national telephone and online survey of 1,076 Americans, conducted April 27-29, shows 41 percent of those surveyed think it “very likely” the media’s one-sided treatment had some influence. A mere 13 percent of respondents said it’s “not at all likely” that the media has some culpability.
