Geoff Russ: Sorry, progressives, Canada wasn’t ‘built on slavery’ like the U.S.

Geoff Russ: Sorry, progressives, Canada wasn’t ‘built on slavery’ like the U.S.

Spurred on by the so-called reckonings over racism in the United States and its legacy of slavery, many Canadian activists have attempted to import America’s divisive racial politics into Canada. However, examining slavery in Canada on its own terms and in good faith does not result in an identical discourse.

A report released Wednesday by the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy — titled, “Slavery in Canada: The Facts Rarely Told” — is a fascinating and grim study into the country’s dark history of trafficking in human beings.

The Sticky Truth About Food Fraud

The Sticky Truth About Food Fraud

A recent investigation has shaken one of Quebec’s most iconic industries. Authorities are examining allegations that maple syrup sold in grocery stores—linked to a Quebec producer—may have been adulterated with cheaper sugars while still being marketed as “pure.” Products have been pulled, regulators are involved, and once again, Canadians are left asking a familiar question: how did this go unnoticed?

Maple syrup is not just another product. In Quebec, it is culture, identity, and economic pride. But this case isn’t really about syrup.

NATO Commits Suicide — All We Can Do Is Bury It

NATO Commits Suicide — All We Can Do Is Bury It

For years now, I’ve written, with something between sadness and exasperation, that NATO is dying. Despite pious pronouncements to the contrary, not even the Russian invasion of Ukraine has done much to bring NATO back to its original purpose, namely protecting Europe against a Russian threat. When Germany and other European countries chose climate change fantasy — and Russian oil — over energy independence, they betrayed a fundamental unseriousness about the threat posed by Vladimir Putin’s overweening ambitions.

Alberta will rid ideology from schools just as soon as it stops dogs from barking

Alberta will rid ideology from schools just as soon as it stops dogs from barking

Alberta’s new legislation limiting “ideology” in classrooms is its own type of ideological flag – which is ironic, since one of the changes proposed by Bill 25 is to prohibit, with limited exceptions, the display of all flags other than Canada’s and Alberta’s.

This Bill 25 flag, also known as the “Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act, 2026,” is multi-functional. On paper, is it designed to “ensure that classrooms remain neutral”; it also “protect(s) employees from being required to take part in activities that conflict with their personal beliefs” (though their abstention could be perceived as an expression of personal belief, but never mind).

With Friends Like These: America and Its Fake Allies

With Friends Like These: America and Its Fake Allies

Some of America’s friends, purported Western allies, have shown their true colors at last. Regrettably, without shame, they have proven to be nothing but parasites.

While basking in the protection offered by America’s military capability so they can fund their bulging, barely-functioning welfare programs, and taking advantage of America’s powerful economy with preferential tariffs in their favor, when asked for support, these putative allies run for cover.

Amanpour Parrots Regime Hacks About Trump’s Assault On ‘2,500-Year Old Civilization’

Amanpour Parrots Regime Hacks About Trump’s Assault On ‘2,500-Year Old Civilization’

PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour kicked off her Thursday show by suggesting remarks President Trump made in his Wednesday address on Iran have made ordinary Iranians angry at him. However, Amanpour provided no evidence for that, and it is likely she was just parroting various regime hacks she saw on X, which is otherwise banned for ordinary Iranians.

Amanpour began by playing a clip of Trump, “American and Israeli bombs will continue pounding Iran. Here’s President Trump as he sought to reassure Americans that he does, in fact, have a plan.”

Beware These Cuban Headlines: EU ‘Aid,’ Castro Kids, and 2,010 Prisoners

Beware These Cuban Headlines: EU ‘Aid,’ Castro Kids, and 2,010 Prisoners

Donald Trump’s been talking about a Cuban takeover “soon” for a couple of months now. This week, while appearing on Hannity on Fox News, Marco Rubio suggested that we’ll “have more news [on Cuba] fairly soon.”

I think prioritizing Cuba is sort of on hold until we’re finished up in Iran, but the MSM is doing its best to keep it in the headlines in the worst of ways. The goal is, as always, to make Trump, Rubio, and the United States look stupid, while making the regime look stoic and ready to progress, as if after nearly 70 years, it has seen the light. It has not. The leftists in the U.S. have some sort of gross desire to romanticize this island hellhole.

Poll finds 51% of Canadians want aid sent to Cuba even if it angers U.S.

Poll finds 51% of Canadians want aid sent to Cuba even if it angers U.S.

When it comes to Cuba, whose tourism has sunk due to a U.S. oil blockade, just over half of Canadians say to send aid even if the U.S. might not like it.

This according to a new Angus Reid poll that found 51% of Canadians want Canada to provide aid while 31% believe maintaining positive relations with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is more important.

The entirety of those polled was Justin and and his brother.
