When it comes to public trust in Toronto Police going forward, the public is in a position where you are just going to have to trust them.
In theory, the buck stop may stop at the Chief’s office when seven of his officers, and one retired cop, are charged in a conspiracy to commit murder and corruption case that saw a house of a corrections officer shot up, allegedly thanks to information leaked to hitmen.
Social media has been abuzz for more than a week over the cruelty on display by some disturbing nurses. Marvel at how brazen these “selfless care workers” are in suggesting that colleagues let agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement just die. You may especially enjoy nurse “Chadrick13again” who sounds exactly like the stereotyped gay guy from the cartoon Family Guy but more murderous…
TCW has pertinently commented on how the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has restricted government funding for students studying in the UK citing ‘concerns over radicalisation and tensions linked to the Muslim Brotherhood’. You can read the articles here and here.
We note that several Muslim countries – particularly Egypt and Saudi Arabia as well as the UAE – have proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood, which they identify as a terrorist organisation. Meanwhile the Brotherhood is free to go about its business in the UK for, despite many demands from across the political spectrum that it should be banned, Sir Keir Starmer has refused and instead offered only the pseudo-reassurance that the Labour government is keeping the Brotherhood ‘under very close review’.
OTTAWA — Canada has only one thing that Chinese President Xi desperately needs that he hasn’t been able to get elsewhere: a path to Arctic nation status. China has only one thing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney desperately needs that he can’t get elsewhere: a trade pact large enough to make credible his vow to pivot away from Canada’s dependence on the United States.
Justice Department and Homeland Security officers have arrested “Antifa Kyle,” the cross-dressing anti-ICE domestic terrorist who threatened to assault, kill and doxx officers in Minneapolis.
Kyle Wagner, 37, was arrested Thursday on federal threat and cyberstalking charges following the alleged murder and assault threats against ICE. Wagner is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court today.
How fear of being called racist allowed the largest child-protection scandal in modern British history to flourish for decades
There are crimes so extreme that the mind instinctively rejects them, not because they are implausible, but because accepting them would require acknowledging a collapse of morality too large to comprehend. Child sexual abuse is one such crime.
Child sexual abuse does not arrive in a single form. It ranges from isolated abductions, to organised pornography networks, to violence carried out by parents or those entrusted with care. Every one of these crimes is horrific, and none should ever be minimised or ignored.
There are few policy areas in Canadian politics as tortured as the CF-18 replacement program, now entering its 16th year and undergoing its fifth evaluation — which is likely to once again recommend continuing with the purchase of F-35s.
Despite this, it was reported last week that “all the signs point to” the government pursuing a mixed fighter jet fleet, with half F-35s and half Saab Gripens. Yet the mixed fleet option comes with serious consequences that should give decision makers reason to pause.
Since 2023, the number of ‘catnappings’ in the UK has shot up. Now reports have emerged of mass-breeding programmes using abducted moggies
In October 2023, Agata Losa, a psychologist from south-east London, found that her Bengal cat, Betty, had been stolen. She had recently moved to the area when Betty went out into the back garden one day and disappeared.
“In the morning, she still wasn’t there and I started panicking,” says Losa, who, appropriately enough, lives in Catford. “For the three weeks she was missing, I went out looking for her, I put up hundreds of posters, I posted up to 10 times a day on local Facebook groups and the Nextdoor app. Despite doing everything I could, there was nothing.”
A neighbour advised her to keep an eye on Gumtree and other sites where pets are sold, and lo and behold, there was a “badly photoshopped” advert for Betty, with a list price of £900.
An article from The Guardian has exposed satellite images and firsthand accounts of the destruction of a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) cemetery containing 23 Canadian soldiers.
The cemetery, located in the al-Tuffah district of Gaza City, contained graves of Canadian, British, Australian, and Indian servicemen who died in the First and Second World Wars, as well as those who died in UN peacekeeping service.
Satellite images show that the southernmost part of the cemetery, the section containing the Canadian graves, has been completely destroyed.

In 2005, Ray Kurzweil wrote The Singularity is Near, which I reviewed in the Wall Street Journal here. In 2024, Kurzweil followed up with The Singularity is Nearer. (The two books are available as a set.)
In 2005 I wrote:
The Singularity is a term coined by futurists to describe that point in time when technological progress has so transformed society that predictions made in the present day, already a hit-and-miss affair, are likely to be very, very wide of the mark. Much of Mr. Kurzweil’s book consists of a closely argued analysis suggesting that the Singularity is, well, near: poised to appear in a mere three or four decades.
U.S. President Donald Trump has reacted harshly to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s acclaimed speech at Davos. First Mr. Trump claimed Canada was a small-power satellite dependent on the U.S. Then Mr. Trump threatened 100-per-cent tariffs if Canada made a deal with China.
Till this day, we are still feeling the aftershock of the speech. Some observers have criticized Mr. Carney for provoking Mr. Trump. McGill University’s Andrew Potter called Mr. Carney “reckless.”
I bet the author of this love letter caught the clap from Carney.
I think by now most of us can spot a double standard when we see one. So let me try two out on you. In what situation is it acceptable to denounce an MP or parliamentary candidate as ‘not very British’ or even someone who ‘doesn’t get our values, our culture, or our history’. When it is said by a Reform candidate about an MP from an ethnic minority? Or when Jeevun Sandher MP says it about Matt Goodwin, the Reform party candidate for Gorton and Denton?
Doubtless you have already guessed the correct answer. The above phrase was used this week by Labour’s Sandher to denounce Goodwin, and as a result it has passed without any serious comment. By contrast, if Goodwin had described Sandher in similar terms I think we can all agree that the news cycle would have stopped (even Jeffrey Epstein would have fallen off the front pages) and Labour MPs would be gearing up to talk about Enoch Powell again.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the recent Davos conference — where he called for decoupling from the U.S. while entering a “strategic partnership” with China — was greeted rapturously abroad. His tough on Trump rhetoric is certainly winning political points at home as well.
Yet, in listing towards China, Carney is not only ignoring geography, but embracing an authoritarian regime far more dangerous than anything coming from MAGA. China’s clear intention is to seek global hegemony based on trade with an array of vassal states. All are then expected to follow Beijing’s party line.
Students at @SchoolsCamden in Maine staged an anti-ICE walkout, carrying signs saying "F*CK ICE" and "ICE IS GESTAPO."

Granting citizenship to hordes of illegal immigrants coming from Africa and the Middle East is a threat to the whole of Europe, but it makes the left happy.
We live in strange and interesting times, in which leaders of the left hope that migrants (who, of course, will not be Cuban, Ukrainian, or Venezuelan) replace, literally, white people.
The Spanish MEP and leader of Podemos, Irene Montero, celebrated the dramatic regularization of illegal immigrants wanted by Pedro Sánchez’s government as a “victory”. The measure will benefit at least half a million illegal immigrants. An enormous figure for a very old population of 49 million Spaniards, who in fact do not approve of the demographic invasion.
