Mark Carney is building a surveillance state online.
What else can you call a government that’s working to outlaw online anonymity? That plans to ID internet users as if going online is the same as entering a bar? That plans to create the equivalent of a human rights tribunal for offensive speech online?
We will soon mirror the UK. One day you may be thanking Trump.
After a war launched in February to end the Iranian nuclear threat, the United States has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of its naval blockade, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and an immense $300 billion reconstruction fund for the very regime the U.S. Air Force spent weeks degrading. The triumph turns out to be a recipe for everything Iran wanted and could not win on the battlefield.
It was the threat of gang violence in Honduras that pushed Carlos and Antonia to flee their home. In 2021, with their toddler, Alejandro, and a handful of belongings, the married couple ventured north hoping to reach safety in the US.
The journey, through Guatemala and Mexico, was filled with danger and uncertainty.
“We were in constant fear, every time we had to cross the border and travel with a young child,” said Antonia. “We were terrified.”
I’m shocked that we’ve turned anyone away, makes for a nice change.
The media’s attempts to suck the fun out of the World Cup are not confined to television. They extend to the local papers of the host cities as well.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer entered No. 10 in July 2024 with a Labour majority big enough to bury the Conservatives for a generation. Less than two years later, Britain is waiting to see whether he leaves office on Monday.

Davelle Morrison listed her client’s 650-square-foot condo in downtown Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood for $558,000 at the beginning of March 2026 — then reduced the price by $38,000 in a hopeful effort to get more bites. When the bites didn’t materialize, Morrison relisted the property for $399,000 on May 4 with an offer night slated for a week later.
Not that long ago, such a price point and sales strategy would have guaranteed a frenzy of activity.
Vancouver’s shoe box builders just got bailed by Carney.
I wonder if his ChiCom pals can convince him to do the same for Toronto?
The British government is reportedly planning to pressure large social media companies to actively promote the BBC and other legacy media outlets, in a bid to confront “disinformation”.
Amid increasing attempts by the UK government to police mainly American social networks, including the impending ban on under-16s, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s administration is said to be interested in fundamentally altering algorithms in favour of so-called trusted news outlets.

“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!”
A referendum is looming in Alberta, which will reveal this fall how far the province is ready to go toward the independence option.
For the rest of Canada, a big question revolves around how much are we willing to do to keep Alberta in the federation. Some new polling by Abacus Data may offer some insights into that question and the short answer is: quite a lot.
Scandal-scarred Rep. Ilhan Omar and her hubby have gone from the penthouse to the poorhouse.
The husband of the Minnesota “Squad” firebrand — who once valued his venture capital and wine empire at up to $30 million — now claims to be pocketing as little as $200 a year.
Canada’s national Inuit organization is calling on the federal government to be better partners, saying Canada must respect Inuit rights to governance and self-determination.
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami wrapped up a two-day Arctic sovereignty conference in Ottawa on Friday.

How about we cut off all funding.
Ukrainian drone maker Oleksiy Babenko knows that supercharging his weapons with artificial intelligence opens a Pandora’s box of killer robots. But the chief executive of startup Vyriy sees an even worse choice.
“Either robots will kill us in 50 years, or the Russians will kill us in a year,” he told a recent gathering of AI-arms makers in Kyiv.
Of all the fields AI is upending, few have deeper ramifications for humanity than its role in warfare. Advanced algorithms have quickly swung from playing a supporting intelligence role to acting as agents of death.
