Critics of the police and tougher bail and sentencing laws to combat violent crime have two approaches to the release of annual statistics on crime.
But they both end up in the same place.
Cuba’s Hidden Proxy Network: The War Against America
The world knows all about Iran’s proxies; Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, and other groups which conduct terrorism and other military operations throughout the Middle East for the IRGC. But there is less awareness of an even more vast and sophisticated proxy network managed by Iran’s ally and possible mentor which lies far closer to U.S. shores.
CBC Groomers worried that Statistics Canada numbers show Canadians becoming less accepting of weirdo “gender diversity”
A new Statistics Canada report says Canada is becoming less accepting of gender diversity.
In 2025, 77 per cent of women and 70 per cent of men surveyed said they agreed or strongly agreed that people should be free to express their gender however they choose.
That’s a drop from 2018, when 85 per cent of women and 78 per cent of men agreed.
WTF?

European Leaders: In Urgent Need of Deradicalization
After World War II, many of Europe’s “elites,” notably in Germany and Austria, were in grave need of denazification. We have now arrived at a time when European leaders and “elites” are, once again, in desperate need of deradicalization — from being “pro-Hamas.”
Sometimes the sentiment is presented as “pro-Palestine,” but it really has nothing to do with Palestinians and everything to do with hating Jews. If these protestors were actually pro-Palestinian, they would be demanding freedom of speech, equal justice under the law, better educational opportunities and better governance, where Palestinian leaders were less corrupt and did not shoot at their own people to prevent them from taking aid, or plant weapons depots among them to increase their own citizens’ casualty rates.
Montreal police take down high-powered surveillance camera after Radio-Canada story
Montreal police are quietly growing their network of AI-powered tools to track vehicles and people across the city, raising questions about public transparency and privacy rights.
A high-powered camera able to scan and identify vehicles was spotted earlier this week by a Radio-Canada reporter, on a lamp post along Henri-Bourassa Boulevard in Montreal’s Rivière-des-Prairies neighbourhood.
Car based scanners capable of running license plate searches at a high rate has been in use for some time If I recall correctly.
This Canadian version of a Flock style system means we the criminal public can be surveilled 24/7.
I wonder what Toronto’s police use?
‘We detected unusual activity’: the scam that uses AI to exploit your holiday photos
You are on a short break in Porto and post some pictures of your family on Instagram or Facebook. With a small section of the Douro river in the background, you think it could have been taken anywhere.
A few days later, you get a text saying that your card was compromised. “We detected unusual activity while you were travelling in Porto – please verify immediately,” says the message.
You click on the link to confirm your bank details. Since you have not put any details of your trip on any of your social networks – bar the indistinct pictures – you don’t suspect there is anything suspicious about the messages.

This Might Be the Most Brutal Diagnosis of AOC You’ll Ever Hear
Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News’s The Five this week and gave a blunt yet extremely fair assessment of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.): she’s not actually doing her job.
“AOC stands for Always On Camera,” Conway said. “She is a performer, not a reformer. She went to Washington to legislate; that’s her job. She’s a pontificator, not a legislator.”
Probably a good thing.
Windsor needs action on copper wire theft, says frustrated home builder
Allen Siyou Wu says he was naive about what can happen to home building sites in Windsor.
But now that his student housing project has been hit by vandals and copper wire thieves on four separate occasions so far this summer, he’s wondering how crimes like these continue to happen.
We are the 3rd World now.
8 in 10 UK Voters Think Gov‘t Not Doing Enough to Stop Illegal Immigration
Over eight in ten British voters believe that the left-wing Labour Party government is not doing enough to prevent illegal immigrants from reaching English shores, potentially spelling trouble for recently installed Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
Bourbon ban is Canada’s Strait of Hormuz
Lawson Whiting, the Brown-Forman CEO and the man behind Jack Daniel’s, called Canada pulling American liquor off our shelves “worse than a tariff … because it’s literally taking your sales away.”
Whiting was quoted in March 2025 when eight provinces cleared their shelves of U.S. booze. Only Alberta and Saskatchewan blinked. A year and a half on, U.S. alcohol exports to Canada have fallen off dramatically — down 81 per cent. The ban has become, improbably, something that gets under Donald Trump’s skin, from a country the U.S. supposedly needs nothing from.
This Is Objectively Hilarious
I am convinced that James O’Keefe was actually destined to be a Gonzo Journalist, along the lines of Hunter Thompson.
Unfortunately for the world of Gonzo journalism, O’Keefe came along too late to get away with spending his life whacked out on dangerous drugs, driving at 130 miles an hour while trashed out of his mind, and he doesn’t have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore. So instead, James is doing his version of investigative journalism, which is pretty much as amusing, without the need for drugs.

The ‘Country Hicks’ Who Refused $26 Million from an AI Data Center
MAYSVILLE, Ky.—The offer arrived out of nowhere just over one year ago.
An unknown company was scooping up Kentucky farmland, and few plots were more valuable than those owned by Delsia Bare and her mother, Ida Huddleston.
The money would be life-changing. From Bare’s farm, the company wanted 463 acres at $48,000 apiece. From Huddleston’s nearby piece of property, it sought 71 at $60,000 per acre.
Together mother and daughter would collect $26.48 million. All they had to do was sign.
