.@Gavin_McInnes brings up a great point about why elites in the U.K. are either ignoring or blind to the Islamist invasion:

For decades, discussions surrounding mass immigration into Western nations have largely been confined to two unproductive viewpoints. One perspective, which views culture as a superficial element and asserts the fundamental similarity of all human beings, suggests that immigrants primarily require sufficient time and opportunities to integrate. Conversely, the other attributes assimilation challenges to cultural values, patriarchal attitudes, or religious conservatism. Both approaches, however, exhibit an intellectual reluctance to delve deeper. What remains conspicuously absent from the prevailing discourse is an understanding rooted in developmental psychology and civilization theory. This framework offers significant explanatory power while avoiding genetic determinism and simplistic cultural explanations, yet it still presents genuinely uncomfortable truths.
The grandpas underpinning the “Elbows Up” movement have washed their hands of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for the moment, but it’s their grandchildren who may ultimately decide his political future — and that of his party.
The Conservatives’ weak byelection performance was billed as a defeat, but that was the best possible outcome for Poilievre, at least personally. Dodging a second defeat in a general election denied Poilievre’s increasingly noisy Tory detractors a legitimate reason to bring the knives out despite the absence of a saviour waiting in the wings. Even if they had their golden child lined up, these non-believers must know future Liberal victories are all but guaranteed so long as the NDP wallows in the single digits.
President Trump could be preparing a final blow against the Iranian regime, with just 24 hours left before the War Powers Resolution’s 60-day clock expires Friday night.
The president told reporters Thursday that, despite the regime’s aggressive posturing, it is privately begging a deal behind closed doors.
If the regime instead chooses to continue fighting, the president has been briefed by Central Command on the potential use of a new type of weapon, as well as final military plans the U.S. could pursue to bring the conflict to a definite end.
Toronto is a city in decline, we see it everywhere we look every day of the year.
It’s pothole at the end of your street that isn’t being fixed, it’s the overflowing public garbage cans on every street corner, it’s a TTC that doesn’t work except as a homeless shelter. It’s the never-ending congestion, the rising costs despite diminished service, it’s the rising crime.
On April 27, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced it had blocked a foreign acquisition of Manus, the Chinese AI startup.
The one-line statement did not explain the NDRC’s reasoning. Nor did it mention that the acquirer was Meta Platforms, which had agreed to acquire Manus for more than $2 billion. Meta had wanted to offer Manus’s AI agent, a product the company offers, which can perform skilled work autonomously, across its various platforms.
Police have released images of a suspect wanted in connection with back-to-back shootings targeting synagogues in the GTA.

Five people were recovering in the hospital on Friday following a mass stabbing incident at a high school in Washington state.
A high school student was charged with multiple counts of first-degree assault after five people were hurt during the stabbing incident on Thursday at a campus in Tacoma.
Authorities in the city said four of the victims from the incident at Foss high school were taken to hospital in critical condition after being stabbed or cut. Four students and an adult security guard were hurt. The alleged perpetrator received minor wounds, was treated and was taken into custody.
Despite the Department of Defence touting its new “fast-tracked” procurement strategy, a new Canadian-made assault rifle is already equipping Danish soldiers months before a Canadian will ever see one.
The C8 Modular Rail Rifle, first unveiled at an Ottawa military trade show in 2024, is lighter, more accurate and stealthier than the C7 assault rifle currently in Canadian Armed Forces service.

In Britain on Wednesday, as John wrote yesterday, there was yet another knife attack. It happened in a place called Golders Green, and the victims, both suffering serious injuries, were two Jewish men, 34 and 76 years old.
It’s neither sovereign, nor wealth, so it’s a mystery why Prime Minister Mark Carney has chosen this frame for his new $25 billion special project, the “Canada Strong Fund.”
One would typically expect a country announcing such a thing to have actually gone to the trouble of clearing debt and generating true sovereign wealth. The federal Liberals are conveniently skipping a few such steps.
Co-writer and director Andy Serkis took Animal Farm, one of the totems of classic literature, and woke-warped it into something unrecognizable.
George Orwell’s 1945 novella Animal Farm is a scathing reenactment of the 1917 Russian Revolution brilliantly told through talking farm animals.
Immigration Minister Lena Diab says she’s accountable after a senior Iranian soccer official with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — a listed terrorist group in Canada — was granted documents to travel to the country ahead of a pre-FIFA World Cup gathering in Vancouver, before ultimately getting turned around.
But Diab, who spent an hour fielding pointed questions about the case during a parliamentary committee Thursday afternoon, said she was not made aware of the decision to issue Iranian Football Federation president Mehdi Taj documents to enter the country.

Liz McLellan spent a morning in January witnessing the work of federal agents who had arrived in Maine to pursue the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Like other community activists, protesters and passersby around the U.S., McLellan took photos, including of an arrest. Then she followed a federal officer driving an unmarked vehicle to see where the agent was headed next.
McLellan was surprised when the agent led her to her own house and blocked her driveway. Other federal officers quickly arrived, boxing in her car with their own vehicles.
“This is a warning,” an agent told her, according to court records and a video recording. “We know you live right here.”
