Twenty-five years ago, America was attacked on its own soil, a first since 1812. A new generation of voters never directly experienced the horrors of that once-in-a-lifetime experience, played out on TV screens like a Hollywood horror movie.
Lessons have been learned in the years since. But not by all Americans, particularly many New Yorkers.
In just about every public appearance he has made over the last few months, Doug Ford has expressed his displeasure with Donald Trump.
Often it comes as an aside to his scripted remarks, as when the Ontario premier, while recently mentioning the importance of trust in a trade relationship, veered off to say that he didn’t “trust Trump as far as I could throw him.” Or, when saying how much he generally likes Americans, he’ll pause and say, “I’ll tell ya, there’s one guy down there I don’t like too much.”

Cultural differences do exist and not all of them involve ethnic foods. It’s not just Islamic terrorism that’s at issue. There are fundamental differences in mores and morals of which this horrifying story out of Milwaukee is just one more example.
PENTICTON — A 33-year-old West Kelowna woman already on probation has become the third woman in two weeks accused of starting fires in the Interior, this time facing six charges after two grass fires in Vernon’s Commonage neighbourhood.
Mansonesque?
An academic who made plagiarism allegations against Professor Jason Arday before his death has been suspended by a university.
Professor Arday resigned from his role at the University of Cambridge this month after he faced intense scrutiny over accusations of plagiarism initially made by fellow academic Nathan Cofnas.
Mr Cofnas, who has advocated for ‘race realism’, is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University’s department of philosophy and moral sciences, according to his website.
It should come as no surprise that U.S. President Donald Trump’s Wednesday deadline to impose 50 per cent tariffs on $29 billion worth of Canadian goods came and passed with little fanfare — the president is famous for making boisterous threats and then backing down at the last minute. But as businesses, consumers and investors eagerly await details of a trade deal that may-or-may-not come by Friday, the lesson for Canadians should be that we cannot continue to allow our fate to hang on the whims of foreign politicians.
The number of people admitted to German trauma centres with life-threatening stab wounds linked to violent crime has risen sharply over the past decade, according to an analysis of data from hundreds of hospitals.
The study by the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU), published in the Deutsches Ärzteblatt, examined 3,664 seriously injured patients treated at 600 German hospitals between 2013 and 2024.
The number of such cases rose from 212 in 2013 to 336 in 2024, an increase of almost 59%. The figure peaked at 382 in 2023.
CALGARY — Martin Sellner, a controversial Austrian remigration activist who has been invited to speak at an upcoming nationalist conference in Hamilton, says Canadian immigration officials have left his travel application to enter the country unresolved for more than a month as political opposition to the event intensifies.
I don’t know how familiar readers are with the term ‘accelerationism’. It is generally used to describe a tendency on the left, though is increasingly heard on the right too.
The basic idea of accelerationism is that there are certain flaws in the societal structure which if pushed could bring things to their inevitable conclusion more quickly.
It is why there are so many people on the left of politics who say that sustainable government spending should be discouraged. It is not just because they are economically illiterate. What they really hope is that a speeded-up financial disaster will expose the ‘underlying contradictions of capitalism’, and we’ll all realise that Karl Marx was right and promptly vote for Zack Polanski or similar at the next election.
A Superior Court judge has refused to enforce Ontario’s new cash bail system in a stunning rebuke just days after the controversial rules came into effect.
On Wednesday in Milton, Justice Scott Cowan released a woman charged with human trafficking without a cash deposit, in direct violation of the new law that demands payment in full within 48 hours.

No one envies Karen Duncan her diagnosis.
Motor Neuron Disease attacks the body’s nerve cells, and in Duncan’s case, it was doing so quickly. Her muscles ached and cramped; then she had to walk with a cane; then she had to motor around in a wheelchair; meanwhile, she stopped being able to trust her thoughts and emotions. Her prognosis wasn’t good either: things would get progressively worse, she would eventually be paralyzed, and then she would die.

On Friday, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that there was no Charter right to bike lanes — and delivered an utter spanking to the judge below their rank who said otherwise. Not only was it a victory for those who prefer car to bike, it was a victory for democracy.
Before the case was overturned, it stood for the principle that elected policymakers had to submit to “expert” evidence on matters of mere traffic planning to avoid breaching the Charter rights of the masses. Justice Paul Schabas of the Ontario Superior Court arrived at this conclusion last year in hearing out the advocacy group Cycle Toronto, which had complained about the Ontario government’s plan to remove a bike lane along a major thoroughfare downtown.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Vice-President JD Vance weighed in on the latest trade deal with Canada at a fundraising event Wednesday, saying Prime Minister Mark Carney tried to “out-tough” President Donald Trump while crediting his longtime friend Conservative MP Jamil Jivani as a helpful advocate for Canada.
In audio from the fundraiser in Southampton, N.Y., which was provided to The Canadian Press by a source who attended the private function, Vance said Carney is a “very sweet guy” and he gets along with him quite well.
But, Vance said, Carney “comes in and puffs his chest out and says, ‘I’m going to, like, out-tough Donald Trump.'”
