America’s free speech tsar: ‘We reject Brits who censor the US’
As most of the country wound down for Christmas, the Trump administration had other ideas. On Tuesday night, the State Department announced sanctions against five Europeans. The charge? Not corruption, terrorism or espionage. Instead, it was crimes against freedom of speech.
After Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, announced the sanctions, Sarah Rogers, the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, followed up with details of the five individuals, who include the former European commissioner, Thierry Breton, and two British citizens, Imran Ahmed and Clare Melford.
She said Ahmed, head of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, and Melford, chief executive of the Global Disinformation Index, were guilty of “extraterritorial censorship of Americans”. “Our message is clear,” she said: “if you spend your career fomenting censorship of American speech, you’re unwelcome on American soil.”
Trucks continue to entrap Sikh migrants in dope smuggling schemes!
Trucker caught with cocaine at MTO scales: Lambton OPP
Another truck driver has been arrested in the Sarnia area and charged with smuggling drugs into Canada, but this time at a Ministry of Transportation inspection area on Highway 402 and not the Blue Water Bridge, Lambton OPP say.
Harmeet Dhamoon, 43, from London, has been charged with importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. The accused has been held in custody and is due back in court on Tuesday, police said.
Civil servants who let in sex offender migrants would lose pensions under Reform
Civil servants who have knowingly let foreign sex offenders into Britain would be prosecuted under a Reform UK government, and face losing their jobs and pensions.
Nigel Farage’s party said it would legislate to create a new criminal offence of “dishonestly determining an asylum claim”, punishable by up to two years in prison.
Under the policy, civil servants found to have committed the offence would also face a number of potential sanctions, including being forced to give up their civil service pension, and dismissal for gross misconduct.
It should apply to any civil servant who allowed a Muslim to enter the UK.
Matthew Taub: Eaton Centre mob wasn’t a protest. It was a warning
On Boxing Day, a pro-Palestinian mob took over the Eaton Centre, one of Canada’s busiest and most iconic public spaces, chanting for “intifada” in the heart of Toronto. Not on the fringes. Not quietly. In the middle of a mall filled with families, workers, tourists, and holiday shoppers.
This did not happen in a vacuum. And it cannot be dismissed as just another protest.
Hamas supporters take over the Eaton Center in Toronto on Boxing Day.
This happened last year too by the way.

Brigitte Bardot dies aged 91
Brigitte Bardot, the French actress turned political activist, has died at the age of 91.
The international sex symbol achieved fame with her film And God Created Woman, going on to embody the archetypal “sex kitten” role, before retiring from the screen and becoming an animal rights advocate.
In a statement, her foundation said: “The Brigitte Bardot Foundation announces with immense sadness the death of its founder and president, Madame Brigitte Bardot, a world-renowned actress and singer, who chose to abandon her prestigious career to dedicate her life and energy to animal welfare and her foundation.”
WTF?
This is not satire. This is called rubbing it in our faces.

What Trump’s National Security Strategy Means for Canada
Canada receives but a passing mention in the recently released U.S. National Security Strategy, but that doesn’t mean it will not have an impact here.
In many ways, it already does. Canada as a neighbour was among the first countries to be affected by key policy changes brought forth by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Proof the Border Is Historically Secure Can Be Found in CBP’s Monthly Stats
Lost in the din of a violent week is CBP’s release of its statistics for agency “encounters” for the month of November. They reveal that not only is the border secure, but historically secure and becoming more so. Illegal migrant “travel season” starts in February, however, and we’ll soon see how long it lasts, but for now the greatest border accomplishment of Trump II can be measured in the record low number of alien children who are attempting to cross illegally – news you likely won’t hear about anywhere else.
WTF?

Canadian politics in the year ahead
The year 2025 was a sharp reminder of just how unpredictable Canadian politics can be. Events moved quickly, and long-held assumptions collapsed almost overnight.
At the start of last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was still clinging to power. The Liberals were far behind in the polls, and it seemed all but certain that Pierre Poilievre would soon lead a Conservative super-majority government.
We all know how that story ended.
U.S. Alcohol Industry Faces Crisis: 7 Distilleries File for Bankruptcy Amid Historic Drop in Consumption
The American alcohol industry is grappling with severe financial headwinds as 2025 comes to a close, marked by a wave of bankruptcies and the lowest consumer drinking rates recorded in nearly a century.
Canada has a ‘disturbing undercurrent of Jew hatred,’ advocate Aviva Klompas says
After the October 7 attacks in Israel, Aviva Klompas noticed that rather than sympathy and support, what surfaced was a “disturbing undercurrent of Jew hatred that was apparently lying dormant in Canada.”
“The nature of what has exploded from under the surface is shocking, particularly for a country like Canada that prides itself on multiculturalism and the ability to live together,” said Klompas, a writer and the CEO and co-founder of Boundless, a think tank dedicated to educating groups about Israel and combatting antisemitism.
Ms. Klompas advised on the settlement of Syrian refugees.
