Karin Elliott is an Irish-American architect living in Norwich. Appropriately enough, she also appears to be the architect of her own sudden downfall.
Elliott has made the national newspapers due to the hilariously mad nature of her allegations against three separate neighbours. She has also been de-registered as an architect, following a professional-conduct hearing earlier this month.
This summer, Mark Carney was confronted by dozens of cousins he never knew he had. The Canadian Prime Minister was visiting Aughagower, a small village in the west of Ireland. It was the home of his grandparents until 1925, when they decided to move to Canada to build a better life. “Welcome home Mark!” screamed hundreds of Irish admirers. To mark the bonds between Ireland and Canada, the prime minister planted an oak tree next to the graveyard where his relatives are buried.
MONTREAL — Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will work with whatever governments voters choose as it pursues closer ties with Europe and navigates the second half of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Carney made the comments Thursday during a news conference at the Canada-European Union summit in Montreal.
French Socialists are pushing to legalize an estimated 300,000 illegal migrant workers, embracing the same mass regularization agenda as Spain’s failed Socialist prime minister Pedro Sánchez despite an explicit warning from the EU that such policies encourage further illegal immigration.
Are we in Heaven, or Hell?
His new single “Lake Ontario” — which will also be featured as a bonus track on his upcoming album, How’s It Goin’, scheduled for release next week — comes after Adams released the self-explanatory song “51st State” on Canada Day.
Bryan Adams is out here cosplaying as the conscience of the Great Lakes like he just discovered Canada on a layover. The guy who spent decades photographing stills of Kate Moss and the Queen for London galleries, living the soft expat life, suddenly remembers he’s from Kingston the minute Trump renames a lake. Now it’s all “first nations name – not an executive order” and “we’ll never be the 51st state,” delivered in the voice of a man who once wrote the soundtrack for a Robin Hood movie
He’s the musical equivalent of Mike Myers showing up in a Team Canada jersey after twenty years of Austin Powers and Shrek money: the Come From Away energy of someone who mostly came from away, stayed away, and only elbows up when the algorithm needs a Canadian content quota. The photography was the classy side hustle. The new album is the “how’s it goin’, eh?” plastic patriotism
His commercial success was built overwhelmingly on the US market—roughly 17.5 million albums sold there versus about 5.3 million in Canada—so the American audience that made him rich is the same one he’s now casually dunking on for domestic political points

Two worlds met in Paris last week. Thanks to the presence of Art Basel, some of the world’s most valuable art that wasn’t already in the city was shipped there. It arrived just in time for Paris to go up in flames. Most of the art fair went ahead as planned at the Grand Palais, but the final weekend was cancelled.
Parisian friends and those who were visiting the city described scenes of Dada-esque absurdity. They navigated streets filled with burning bins and rioting ‘youths’ in balaclavas, before slipping into champagne receptions. Some who attempted to get out of the city spoke of Mogadishu-like scenes at Gare du Nord, where the country’s newest net-contributors were busily assaulting any available police and stealing the luggage of any tourist they could find.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s campaign to forge a closer economic alliance with the European Union is just the latest Liberal government magic bean to cure what ails our economy.
It’s not that increasing trade with the EU under what was originally described as Canada becoming an “associate member” but has now reportedly been reclassified as “ever closer association” — whatever that means — is a bad idea.
🇵🇱 Holy sh*t that was close… 🫣

When a hostile nation, a terrorist cell, or a solar storm takes down the power grid, Americans won’t find out what to do from a smartphone app. Cell towers will go dark within hours, and internet service will go with them. But one technology will still be talking: AM radio.
That is why the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act matters. On September 15, the House passed it with overwhelming bipartisan support. Its Senate companion has more than 60 cosponsors and has cleared committee. It is ready for passage today. Yet the bill still waits for Senate floor time. With a broad bipartisan majority ready to pass it, a lone procedural objection should not be enough to stand between the American people and the most resilient communications system the nation has. Now is the time for the Senate to act.
OTTAWA — A Conservative MP who demanded that Canada investigate whether a man accused of threatening to kill a Falun Gong protester outside China’s Toronto consulate was acting for Beijing has received a response from Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand that leaves the central question unanswered: whether the suspect is a Chinese diplomat or otherwise connected to the Chinese government.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom announced this week that California has made significant progress in reducing its homeless population, with “preliminary data from across the state showing unsheltered homelessness has declined for the second consecutive year — down nearly 13% since 2024.” That’s good news that’s bolstered by anecdotal evidence. I’ve seen fewer encampments as I drive around the state’s larger cities, although signs of the problem are still evident.
Not in Canada of course.
Not that long ago, seismic change was in the air. And it began with kisses.
A symbolic one to the Bad Orange Man from Syrupean Prime Minister Mark Carney, telling the United States to kiss off.
The results of Israel’s October 27, 2026 election delivered an important message about the political participation of the country’s Arab citizens. According to the preliminary count, in an unprecedented achievement for Arab-majority parties, two Arab-led parties, the Joint List and Ra’am, secured a combined 19 seats in the 120-member Knesset. This result represents a significant increase from the 10 seats held by the two Arab parties in the outgoing parliament.
