The president of the World Bank wants governments to create digital identities and link them to private sector and existing infrastructures, joining a host of other global interests. World Bank president Ajay Banga told the World Bank Group's inaugural Global Digital Summit that digital ID should be embraced in all nations. He also called for...

A group of 20 plaintiffs targeted by the extrajudicial measures of the Emergencies Act claim the federal government, financial institutions and law enforcement infringed their Charter rights. Trudeau, his Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, and former ministers Marco Mendicino and David Lametti are named as defendants in the lawsuit, including...

Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill is a kind, compassionate, and humane doctor to underprivileged communities west of Toronto, Canada. At the beginning of the Covid lockdowns, she was overwhelmed at the costs imposed on the communities she served and went public with her opposition to all the measures. That outspokenness is now costing her: the medical board...

"Heresy is the eternal dawn, the morning star, the glittering herald of the day. Heresy is the last and best thought. It is the perpetual New World, the unknown sea, toward which the brave all sail. It is the eternal horizon of progress. Heresy extends the hospitalities of the brain to a new thought. Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy, a...

"As we've seen from a few different premiers, you can use the Notwithstanding Clause to opt out of basic Charter rights of Canadians. gender rights. But you can't opt out of the Federation. You can't opt out of Canada. We are a country of laws. We're a country of rules and responsibilities. And it's evolved over 150-plus years to be...

What we are not seeing, sadly, is mass protests over what caused this war in the first place—Hamas's heinous and cowardly terrorist attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7 last year—and, more importantly for this piece, credible reports of significant sexual mutilation and mass rape by Hamas terrorists. Even the U.N., not normally seen as "pro-Israel,"...

'Islamism' is the great unutterable in 21st-century Britain. Representatives of the state have even flirted with erasing the i-word from public discourse – remember when counter-terrorist police considered ditching phrases like 'Islamist terrorism' and 'jihadis' and replacing them with 'faith-claimed terrorism' and 'terrorists abusing religious...

The great Mark Levin discusses Biden's State of the Union address. "All in all, this speech sounded like the talk of an angry partisan loser, bitter at not being appreciated enough, desperately in need of a nap — not a triumphant, hopeful, optimistic incumbent ready to run on his record. If it's Joe Biden's last State of the Union, as...

David Thomas, the former Chair of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, sounds the alarm over Justin Trudeau's new proposed Online Harms bill which, if passed, could put you in prison for so-called hate speech.

The war with Hezbollah will be many times more destructive and dangerous for Israel than the current war in Gaza, given Hezbollah's huge arsenal of precision-guided missiles and the size of its fighting force, which as of now is about ten times what Hamas can count on, after its losses during the past five months of fighting. What we have...

This is not the same incident as the one we reported on here. That one took place in Borno State. This one took place in Kaduna State. That one involved Boko Haram jihadis. This one involves Fulani jihadis. In every case, however, the jihadis are endeavoring to "strike terror in the enemies of Allah" (Qur'an 8:60) and ultimately subjugate them...

Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on a Jewish holiday on Oct. 7—50 years and a day after a group of Arab nations launched a surprise attack on the Jewish state during the High Holiday of Yom Kippur. Many world leaders, including in Washington, are saying that Israel should halt attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Sen. John Fetterman...

When Attorney General Letitia James she spoke at a Fire Department of New York ("FDNY") promotion ceremony on Thursday, she got a political response from the assembled crowd: Boos. Now, the FDNY has gone full North Korean: Those who booed must turn themselves in for punishment and re-education or be "hunted down."

On March 11, 2004, 193 people are killed and nearly 2,000 are injured when 10 bombs explode on four trains in three Madrid-area train stations during a busy morning rush hour. The bombs were later found to have been detonated by mobile phones. The attacks, the deadliest against civilians on European soil since the 1988 Lockerbie airplane bombing,...

But then Mr. Wilders won national elections convincingly in November. Nearly a quarter of Dutch voters chose his party, which won 37 of 150 seats in the House of Representatives, a huge margin by the standards of a fractious party system that rests on consensus and coalition building. Since then, Mr. Wilders has become an unavoidable political...

NBA player and bestselling author Jonathan Isaac never caved under pressure to kneel for the National Anthem. Growing up in the Bronx, NY, his parents taught him tenacity and integrity, yet an abrupt move at a young age started his struggle with anxiety. His life was transformed when he finally put God first, which gave him the strength to publicly...

Douglas Murray joins James Heale to discuss the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The war, he says, is just a prelude for a wider clash between the West and Iran. What will that wider conflict look like? What does Tehran want? Can the West stop the despotic mullahs?

A pro-Palestinian group slashed and spray-painted a century-old portrait of Arthur James Balfour at the University of Cambridge on Friday, defacing a painting of the British official whose pledge of support in 1917 for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people" helped pave the way to Israel's founding three decades...

When we look at her life and words from her victim lawsuit at 17 to now, one thing is clear: Candace Owens hates Jews. All her words and actions demonstrate this: her approval of Hitler; her support of Kanye West's comments; her apathy towards October 7; her tacit approval of Hamas and vocal condemnation of Israel; her labeling Jews who...

What if you listen to the other side and the other side is very clearly saying to you that it wants to annihilate you and they are sadly acting on it. Israelis cherish life; and they cherish death. This what the Arab leaders themselves say.

Joe Biden's State of the Union ("SOTU") was unlike anything I've seen before, and I started watching these speeches in the mid-1980s. No president has ever been so maniacally wired, periodically incoherent, or viciously angry. That was style. The substance was worse. Biden opened by calling Trump a Nazi, shifted to Ukraine, promised to stamp out...
