WTF?
Anti-immigration speaker banned from U.K. still planning to attend Ontario conference
OTTAWA — An Austrian man who has been permanently banned from the United Kingdom for promoting extremist narratives said this week he hopes Canada won’t deny him entry ahead of a conference he’s set to speak at in Hamilton this month.
Martin Sellner is being marketed as a keynote speaker for an Aug. 29 conference of the Dominion Society, which advocates for “remigration,” the mass deportation of immigrants.
WTF!

Canada says IRGC welcome
Canada says immigration applications are assessed individually in response to cases of Iranians who completed mandatory military service with the Revolutionary Guards receiving letters warning they could be deemed inadmissible on security grounds.
In a statement to Iran International, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said “membership in the IRGC and service in the IRGC are distinct considerations” for assessing inadmissibility.
Ward Churchill was America’s first woke professor
If you’re under 40, you likely haven’t heard of Ward Churchill, who died this week at 78.
That’s too bad, because the former University of Colorado professor turned Bush-era national figure of scorn was a pioneer — arguably the first viral prototype of the America-hating woke professor, at a time when it just meant something vague that Erykah Badu was singing about. He was also a reliable punching bag for conservative talk radio and Fox News and was canceled before it was the Left doing the canceling. Indeed, Felix Biederman of Chapo Trap House once described the pre-Bernie Sanders cultural image of an American Leftist as epitomized by Churchill: “this college professor who says humorless drivel like, ‘I wish we had two 9/11s!’”
Chinese-Canadian Crypto Investor Plunges to Death From Paraguay Tower, Leaving Financial Trail From Vancouver and Toronto to Abu Dhabi
VANCOUVER — Harry Chun Tak Yeh, a Hong Kong-born Canadian who became an early Bitcoin investor and later founded Quantum Fintech Group, was found dead at about 4:30 a.m. on August 7, his body at the foot of the tower, naked and covered by a black plastic bag, according to Paraguayan reporting citing police interviews.
What investigators found upstairs was equally suggestive.
The Oxfordshire Village so Alarmed by Asylum Plans it’s Planning a Referendum on Whether to Leave the UK
Residents of Piddington, a tiny Oxfordshire village of around 350 people, have held a protest picnic and voted 96% in favour of a symbolic referendum to secede from the UK in opposition to Government plans to house 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers at a nearby former MoD depot. Women in the village say they are frightened to walk alone at night, with one 73-year-old resident saying: “I’m scared really – it breaks my heart.”
UN Stats Show Gaza As Well Fed as Germany and the UK
A new UNICEF survey shows that not only isn’t there a famine in Gaza, but the Hamas settlers of the terrorist enclave are some of the best fed in the Middle East.
The UNICEF-led survey rated ‘acute malnutrition’ among children under 5 years old in the Gaza Strip as being at 0.5%. As UN Watch noted, this compares to World Bank data showing a rate of 0.4% in the UK, 0.5% in Germany, 1.6% in Finland and 3.3% in Egypt.
When tariffs spark patriotism
In the long and complicated relationship between Canada and the United States, economic tensions are nothing new. Trade disputes, tariff battles, and political disagreements have shaped the cross‑border dynamic for decades. But every so often, an unexpected consequence emerges—something neither government planned nor predicted.
During my recent visit to Toronto, walking through grocery stores, drug marts, and major retailers, I witnessed one of those consequences firsthand: a quiet but unmistakable rise in Canadian patriotism. And ironically, it appears to have been triggered not by Canadian politicians or media campaigns, but by Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian exports.
Ceuta will hold migrants in warehouses while they await deportation – after it emerged several girls have been raped since they arrived
Authorities in Ceuta will round up migrants and hold them in warehouses before sending them back to Morocco.
It is estimated that more than 70,000 people flooded into the Spanish enclave last month, taking advantage of lax security and swimming around a border fence that separates Ceuta and Morocco.
Up to 100 people died during the mass influx which occurred over 48 hours, with Ceuta President Juan Jesús Vivas declaring a ‘humanitarian emergency’ as the enclave became overwhelmed with new arrivals.
Cultural sector urges Carney not to scrap streamers’ Cancon financial contributions
OTTAWA – Dozens of Canadian cultural sector organizations are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney not to scrap rules requiring foreign streaming companies like Netflix to make financial contributions toward Canadian content.
The government has promised to replace the 15-per-cent contributions with government funding but the groups say that is no substitute.
A letter to Carney signed by 50 organizations says the promised annual funding, unlike a CRTC-regulated contribution regime, can be changed through the federal budget.
Pete Hegseth dismisses reports of deteriorating conditions on USS Abraham Lincoln
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, insisted a wave of reports describing deteriorating conditions and mental health struggles onboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln have been “completely misrepresented”, pushing back against growing congressional pressure over the ship’s record-breaking, nearly nine-month deployment.
“We make sure every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment,” Hegseth told reporters during a visit to Panama, adding that “some deployments are longer than others” and praising sailors enduring “high seas” and “austere conditions with less port calls”.
Navy Responds to Reports USS Lincoln Sailors Are Trying to Jump Overboard
The U.S. Navy has denied claims of an increase in attempted suicides on board its aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, amid reports of rising welfare concerns from family members of those aboard the vessel, which has been at sea for over 260 days.
Citing relatives of troops at sea, military publication NavyTimes reported that at least two U.S. Navy sailors had attempted to jump overboard from the vessel, which departed the U.S. in November and was rerouted from the Pacific to the Middle East as the White House prepared to launch its war on Iran at the end of February.

Heritage Minister Marc Miller sought UK briefings on Labour ‘social cohesion’ plan
Heritage Minister Marc Miller arranged confidential briefings on the United Kingdom Labour government’s plans to combat division, extremism and hate during a July trip to Britain, according to an Access to Information memo.
The discussions included a Labour government “social cohesion” action plan that singled out what it described as “digital grifters” and “politicians of grievance” as having an interest in promoting division.
As we’ve witnessed in Britain “Social Cohesion” means two tiered justice and the criminalization of dissent.

Michael Higgins: Canada to America — Make a deal or watch how angry we get
Prime Minister Mark Carney has the luxury of vacationing in Tuscany as our U.S. relationship crumbles to dust but Canadians should buckle up for a rough ride.
