This is the worst time for the US to pull 25,000 troops out of Europe
As Putin’s sham elections play out and he predictably claims near-total endorsement from the Russian population, the picture inside Russia is becoming harder to conceal. Hundreds of drones reaching Moscow, the most heavily protected city in Russia, this weekend. These strikes are a visible reminder that Russia is far more vulnerable than the Kremlin would have its people believe.
On the battlefield, Ukraine is also demonstrating renewed momentum, including around Lyman and through the re-employment of tanks and armoured manoeuvre. Yet, at precisely the moment when Ukraine needs sustained political and military backing, its two principal Western supporters appear determined to make its position more difficult through geopolitical naivety, hesitation and prevarication.
LILLEY: Pierre Poilievre’s Brantford gamble risks dividing Tories
Phil McColeman stopped as he walked out of Pierre Poilievre’s rally on Sunday and said, “No, no, no.” The former Conservative MP was expressing his displeasure at Poilievre appointing a candidate to run in the next election.
They don’t appear to be in any danger of winning an election so let em roll the dice.
Trump to confront Zelensky over striking Russian oil refineries
Donald Trump is expected to confront Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries in New York on Tuesday.
The US president reportedly warned the Ukrainian leader on Sunday that the attacks were exacerbating a global diesel shortage and causing prices to surge.
Diesel prices, which on Monday hit $6.51 (£4.80) a gallon, up 76 per cent from a year ago, have spiked dramatically since the US and Israel began bombing Iran on Feb 28
Ottawa tables bill to amend labour code, speed up project approvals
The federal government introduced sweeping legislative changes on Monday aimed at reducing labour disruptions in federally regulated sectors and speeding up project approvals.
The changes to federal review rules represent a partial dismantling of policies introduced under former Liberal prime minister Justin Trudeau that have been sharply criticized by the energy sector and the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments.
Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act, was introduced in the House of Commons Monday afternoon by Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon.

Anti-migrant campaigner ‘Danny Tommo’ accuses Left-wing activists of sinking boat he bought to help police the English Channel
Anti-migrant campaigner ‘Danny Tommo’ has accused Left-wing activists of sabotaging a boat he bought to help police the English Channel after it sank.
Daniel Thomas is founder of the Patriot Platform, a group of protesters he describes as ‘working-class men who are bricklayers, roofers and carpenters who build the house you live in, the roads you drive on’.
They were involved this month in recent anti-migrant disturbances in Dover in Kent and his home town of Portsmouth, where the city’s RNLI station was forced to close as a result.
Human rights museum director should be fired
The current director of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), Isha Khan, told its board that it is not her “boss.” The Globe and Mail reported this in August, in its article on the controversy over the museum’s “Nakba” exhibit, drawing on interviews with five board members.
The law is clear. And it is contrary to what Ms. Khan told the board about who is in charge.
HANNAFORD: Mark Carney’s European obsession is a dangerous fantasy
What does it tell us about what Prime Minister Mark Carney really wants, that a yet-to-be-defined associate relationship with Europe is something to which we should aspire, but any suggestion of a comparable relationship with the US would be anathema if not faintly treasonous?
The short answer is that for Mr. Carney the political meaning of the two options is not the same. In the absence of full details, being an “Associate” to the European Union sounds like statesmanship. (Once details are provided, it may not.)
WTF?

Cooperating With Communist China On AI Regulation Is A Generationally Stupid Idea
Amid growing concerns about artificial intelligence, some in the United States are urging the Trump administration to cooperate with China on AI safety for humanity’s benefit.
In a recent interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that Trump and Xi would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize if they agreed that “no one should be taking a certain level of risk with the development process of this [AI].”
Will We See Western Capitals Fall?
Consider these recent news headlines: (1) “NYC Turns Back to Gas Buses After Finding Out the Hard Way That the Electric Versions Have Big Problems,” (2) “As a Former Head of MI6 it’s Clear That Britain’s Climate Policy is Leaving Us Dangerously Exposed to Our Enemies,” and (3) “Spain: 74% of sex-crime suspects are foreigners in Basque Country.”
They come from three different Western nations and involve three dissimilar subjects — public transportation, national security, and violent crime — yet each news story exposes the real-world consequences of government failure …
Probes into Toronto’s shooter-for-hire network thwarted by impenetrable phone, police source says
Investigations into a series of shootings in Toronto have been stymied because a key cellphone that was seized in connection with the case is running on a privacy-focused operating system and investigators have so far been unable to unlock the device, according to a police source.
Police believe the cellphone may contain communications and other data that could point to those responsible for ordering the shootings, including the March attack on the U.S. consulate, the source added.
