OTTAWA — After Jagmeet Singh spent the fall struggling to prove he could be the change Canadians want, time is now ticking down for the leader of Canada’s New Democrats to show he can offer it, against the man expected to replace Prime Minster Justin Trudeau.
Singh is hopeless as NDP fortunes are sinking in the polls and deservedly so for his aiding and abetting Trudeau.

You can tell by her giggle and her eyes that the thought of conservative men suffering just tickles her! pic.twitter.com/xhfigBnmBR

Bringing the island closer to America makes national security sense.
President Trump’s determination to purchase Greenland from Denmark has upended the transatlantic dialogue. What was dismissed as a flight of fancy when originally raised in 2019 has, combined with the president’s recent interest in the Panama Canal, become something far more significant: the beginning of a possible “Trump Doctrine,” reprioritizing the Western Hemisphere as the principal theater of American economic and security interest.
A Times Square drug kingpin nabbed in an “around-the-clock” crack-peddling operation is back on the streets of the Big Apple — thanks to former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned.
Johnny Perez, a 32-year-old convict nicknamed “Ghost,” was one of nearly 2,500 convicted federal criminals who had their sentences commuted by Biden on Jan. 17 before he left office — including at least three other dealers busted with him in 2021, records show.
Despite the digital transformation reshaping industries worldwide, grocery shopping in Canada remains deeply rooted in traditional in-store experiences.
A recent survey by Dalhousie University and Caddle, which polled 2,501 Canadians, found that 57.8% of respondents still do all their grocery shopping in-store without using grocery apps, while only 2.5% rely exclusively on digital platforms. Additionally, 3% primarily shop online but still visit physical stores occasionally. This data underscores a clear divide between technological adoption and consumer preferences, reflecting deeper economic and behavioural trends in food retail.
Did Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas halt payments to Palestinian terrorists and their families? Or is he just trying to fool the Americans to persuade them to resume financial aid to the PA?
On February 10, the American media outlet Axios reported:
“Abbas has issued a decree revoking the system of payments to families of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails or to families of Palestinians who were killed or wounded during attacks against Israelis.”
The payment program is known as “Pay for Slay.”
A king outranks a potentate or a mountebank shilling from his Oval Office soapbox.
And we’ve got one of those — a king, I mean.
So where is King Charles III when Canada needs him? Not a peep out of His Majesty since U.S. President Donald Trump has been blathering and bloviating about this country becoming the 51st American state, repeated ad nauseam, any time he can wedge in a dig. Stony silence as well from the useless Governor General. For that matter, where are the 55 other nations in the Commonwealth that was so vitally important to the late Queen? They haven’t said boo in defence of their beleaguered fraternal member. Or … hello, Europe?
Elon Musk could get a golden audit.
The world’s richest man got encouragement Sunday to bring his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into one of the most secure places in the world: Fort Knox.
Sen. Rand Paul called for a review of the vault’s massive gold reserves — worth an estimated $425 billion based on market rates — in response to the tech mogul’s musings about the stash.

A joint German-Norwegian project to build new diesel-electric submarines is pitching Canada to join the program, with one of the selling points being that Ottawa would get early access to a boat on the initial production line so it could meet targets for acquiring these new vessels.
In September, Canada formally began looking for up to 12 new under-ice capable submarines, as part of an effort to demonstrate to NATO members that Ottawa is boosting defence spending.
A 39-year-old French Islamist accused of torturing hostages in Syria has claimed in court that he had never been in charge of foreign captives in Isis prisons.
Mehdi Nemmouche made the denial at the start of his trial in Paris where he stands accused of being one of the most sadistic jailers of French, British, American and journalists and human rights workers of other nationalities captured by Islamist State terrorist movement in 2013.
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Only 110 people have enrolled so far in Newfoundland and Labrador’s basic income program for some older adults, a figure advocates say underscores the complexity of traditional social assistance programs that often leave users afraid of losing benefits.
That figure represents less than one-third of the approximately 350 people who qualify for the program, officially launched in May, said the province’s Department of Children, Seniors and Social Development.
Josh Smee, chief executive of the non-profit Food First N.L., said he wasn’t surprised enrollment seemed low.
FBI director nominee Kash Patel has often joked that on day one in office he would shut down FBI Headquarters and reopen it the next day as a Museum of the Deep State. Rueful joke aside, he may not know how close to the truth he really is. The FBI has a sneaky little secret that has probably escaped the attention of its most ardent fans at DOJ. It’s even possible that the cloistered and suited gangsters on the 7th Floor don’t even know how easy it could be to topple the entire enterprise.

An expert committee formed to help Indigenous communities find unmarked graves at former residential schools in Canada says the federal government has discontinued its funding.
“It’s a betrayal,” said founding member Crystal Gail Fraser, who is Gwich’in and grew up in Inuvik, N.W.T. “We are losing sight of our values around truth and reconciliation.”
The committee will be forced to cease operations when its current funding agreement expires on March 31, Fraser said.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating potential Social Security fraud, and its head Elon Musk posted startling information from its database.
“Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!” Musk began, posting an image of a chart with age brackets going all the way up to 369 years old.
