How Plymouth’s friendliest cat became a Mischief to national security
You might think Tonie Blackmore would get worried when her pet cat Mischief goes missing for days on end, but thanks to his friendly nature he has the city of Plymouth tracking his every move.
The appropriately named feline has been making himself at home across the city for the past three years, and developing thousands of committed Mischief megafans.
China hits back at Canada with fresh agriculture tariffs
BEIJING — China announced tariffs on over US$2.6 billion worth of Canadian agricultural and food products on Saturday, retaliating against levies Ottawa introduced in October and opening a new front in a trade war largely driven by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
The levies, announced by the commerce ministry and scheduled to take effect on March 20, match the 100 per cent and 25 per cent import duties Canada slapped on China-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products just over four months ago.
Will the Real Jeff Bezos Please Stand Up?
Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is taking a stand for free speech. Or is he?
The Washington Post owner’s editorial decree rocked journalism. Bezos instructed the Post’s opinion section to hyper-focus on free markets and personal liberties. Naturally, the paper’s far-left journalists cried out in pain.
One quit on the spot.
Canadian shoppers frustrated at misleading US price signs
Canadian shoppers wanting to boycott US products are outraged that many retailers appear to be hiding “product of USA” labeled foods in a sneaky effort to sell the suddenly “toxic” inventory.
Complaints to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency about country of origin claims have skyrocketed across the country in February, as the trade war with the US escalates, the consumer watchdog told The Post.

FBI Director Kash Patel Charges Three Traitors With Treason
The FBI arrested three people on charges of treason this week, and believe it or not, none of them are senators or congressmen.
In a stunning blow to Chinese espionage efforts, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of three Army personnel who thought they could sell out America’s national security for Chinese cash. Two active-duty soldiers and one veteran are learning the hard way that treason doesn’t pay.
Threats, harassment and online hate driving women out of politics, MPs from most hateful government ever warn
As longtime Liberal MP Pam Damoff prepares to leave politics when the next federal election is called, she is wistful but open about what is driving her to leave a career she has had for more than a decade.
Vocal about the misogyny and threats she faced during her time in government, she wants public safety officials to take these threats more seriously.
“We’ve seen a shift in how people treat politicians, and I really worry that at some point, someone will be injured or killed,” Damoff said in an interview.
No victim like a Liberal victim. The Liberal Party is only a few steps away from rivaling NOKO’s Kim.
Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Democrats‘ Pathetic ‘Choose Your Fighter‘ Video & Sad Protests
ABC late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel revealed his impatience with the Democrats and mocked their pathetic attempts to reply to the Trump juggernaut as the president steamrolls them in his first three months on office.
“Choose your fighter!” Yeah, no thanks.
Democrats keep outdoing themselves with dumbness. Who is getting paid big consulting bucks to come up with this stuff??
Not even the TikTok generation wants to vote for these people.

Carney poised to win Liberal leadership race on Sunday, setting the stage for a snap election
Barring an upset, Mark Carney is poised to be elected leader of the ruling Liberal Party on Sunday, becoming the country’s first prime minister without any political experience and setting the stage for an early election amid a trade war with Canada’s biggest trading partner.
The return of Donald Trump to the White House and the U.S. President’s threats to Canadian sovereignty and economic well-being have upset the political landscape, giving the Liberals more than a fighting chance against Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
Zelensky will not attend high-level talks with Americans at Saudi peace summit
Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend high-level talks between Ukrainian and US negotiators next week but insisted his country is “fully committed” to peace talks.
The Ukrainian leader said that he would visit Saudi Arabia for talks with the Arabian kingdom’s crown prince on Monday but would not stay on for talks with representatives of the US government aimed at ending the war.
“Ukraine has been seeking peace from the very first second of this war. Realistic proposals are on the table,” he said in a statement posted to X.
Large majority of Canadians reject Trump’s annexation overtures, poll suggests
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests few Canadians are open to President Donald Trump’s repeated pitches for Canada to become a U.S. state, though interest in it rises among Conservative supporters and those living in Alberta.
The Leger poll, released this week, says just nine per cent of Canadians want Canada to become the 51st state, while 85 per cent do not.
The rejection appears clear across all regions, political parties and age groups.
Support for the idea is highest in Alberta, at 15 per cent, and lowest in Atlantic Canada at just three per cent, with fewer than one-in-10 people in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia wanting it.
Charles Barkley blasts Canadian ‘fools’ for criticizing Wayne Gretzky over Donald Trump links
Charles Barkley is the latest public figure to defend Wayne Gretzky against criticism from Canadians over his ties to Donald Trump.

Canadians list cannabis legalization as Trudeau’s crowning success
The online poll, conducted and presented by the Angus Reid Institute, took place from March 4-6, 2025, among a representative randomized sample of 1,850 Canadian adults who are members of the Angus Reid Forum.
Just over half of Canadians (52%) listed cannabis legalization as an example of a policy success by the Trudeau Liberal government, higher than the public’s view of the Trudeau government’s handling of COVID-19 (47%) and the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (46%).
That’s one dope addled legacy for the Dope.
Trump says Ukraine ‘more difficult’ to deal with than Russia
US President Donald Trump has said he is finding it “more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine” than Russia in attempts to broker peace between the two nations.
The US is “doing very well with Russia”, and “it may be easier dealing with” Moscow than Kyiv, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday.
Hours earlier, Trump had said he was “strongly considering” large-scale sanctions and tariffs on Russia until a ceasefire with Ukraine was reached.
GERMANY THREATENS WAR AGAINST US + RUSSIA⁉️
The German legacy media have the audacity to announce that Europe has to face both USA’s president Trump and Russia as enemies now.
All just to defend Ukraine? Clearly, a much bigger agenda is behind these WWIII ambitions!!! pic.twitter.com/cByXm73apx

International Woke Scold Justin Trudeau has rendered Canada friendless in its fight with President Trump.
Canada is seeking allies in its fight with Donald Trump. It’s not easy to find them
OTTAWA — It’s every country for itself in the era of Donald Trump.
Ottawa is seeking allies but allies are seeking cover. They see what’s going on, and undoubtedly hope they can avoid the same fate.
The unpredictable U.S. president hammered Canada and Mexico on Tuesday with punishing 25 per cent tariffs and 10 per cent on energy. Then the flip-flops began.
I think a more likely explanation is Justin is so full of himself, such an annoying woke scold he has rendered Canada into a pariah state. We don’t like him. No one else likes him either.
