This is honestly one the best verbal shellackings I've ever seen in my life. Nose-ring was absolutely flummoxed and had her head spinning after this brutal beat down. pic.twitter.com/EfLnchxfYh

The contest is nearly over to provide Canada’s next submarines
OTTAWA — Often below the surface, at times breaching into view, a high-stakes contest for a military mega-contract to build and sell modern submarines to the Canadian navy is coming into port.
With a flurry of deals that promise to beef up Canadian industry and advance Prime Minister Mark Carney’s economic goals, the two defence giants vying for the lucrative bid — one from South Korea, the other part of a German-Norwegian partnership — prepared their final pitches last week, after the new federal Defence Investment Agency gave them more time to sweeten their proposals.
SPLC Indictment Shows Partisan Activists Were Running The FBI Domestic Terror Program
The real Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) scandal isn’t just the indictment. The deeper scandal is that the FBI used a highly partisan activist group as an unelected, unvetted intelligence wing of the federal bureaucracy. For years, the bureau didn’t just consult the SPLC. It folded the group’s ideology into its threat assessments and other work products, then used those products to brand Americans as hateful or flag them as potential domestic violent extremists.
Federal Judge Pushes Ryan Wedding Trial to December, Finds Prosecution ‘So Unusual and So Complex’ It Defies Normal Trial Timelines
LOS ANGELES — A judge in Los Angeles has named two co-defendants alongside Ryan Wedding — the former Canadian Olympic snowboarder charged with leading a Sinaloa Cartel-linked cocaine trafficking and federal witness murder conspiracy — while pushing the proposed trial date to December 1, 2026, finding that the prosecution is so extraordinary in scale and complexity that it falls outside the bounds of normal federal trial preparation requirements.
Why the Danes do it better
I spent a good while living in Denmark last year, and something struck me pretty much straight away. I would see it in cafés, in museums, in swing parks with my daughter, on the trains, even queuing at a supermarket checkout… everywhere. They carry themselves differently, the Danes. They seem to glide about, elf-like, tall and composed and utterly at ease with themselves. They speak plainly, and if they laugh, it is without checking themselves. They didn’t seem to be performing a version of who they thought they should be. They simply were, and it was beautiful to see.
Chinese consulate met Vancouver official in bid to stop event critical of communist rule
Chinese consular officials met with a Vancouver city hall employee last month and urged her to cancel an arts event that highlighted communist party repression, sources told Global News.
At the meeting, representatives of China’s consulate told a staff member of the city’s civic theatres branch that they wanted a series of performances by the Shen Yun dance group to be stopped, the sources said.
The World Health Organisation Got it Wrong Again: We Did Have Pre-Existing Immunity to COVID-19
At his media briefing on March 3rd 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Director General said: “COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity”.
The WHO managed to get quite a lot wrong in its pronouncements about COVID-19. I am just focusing on the “to which no one has immunity” for now. But put this together with all the other inaccuracies in the WHO statements and guidance about COVID-19 and it does raise concerns about our Government’s recent outsourcing of health decisions to the WHO in the next pandemic.
John Weissenberger: Canada must be more selective in welcoming newcomers
Canadians still haven’t really debated immigration’s fundamental questions, like what exactly is it for? Does it merely serve short-term economics or shape our future prosperity and identity? What debate there is reveals both regional divides and ideological anger.
What’s also largely off the radar is our looming demographic collapse. At an average 2024 birthrate of 1.3, without newcomers, Canada’s population could halve by 2100. This invites the question of “To grow or not to grow?” which, unsurprisingly, gets different answers in Quebec and English Canada.
Jeff Bezos ‘selling $500m superyacht because it attracts too much attention’
Jeff Bezos is reportedly selling his £370m superyacht Koru because it is too recognisable.
The Amazon founder is said to feel that the 417ft vessel, the largest sailing yacht in the world, is drawing too much attention.
Mr Bezos, whose cumulative worth is about £203bn, has also soured on the £22m-a-year cost of maintaining the giant vessel, the New York Post reported.
Europe will not submit to an ‘insular and brutal world’, says Carney
Europe will not submit to a more “brutal world”, and can instead be the base from which a new international order can be rebuilt, Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, has said.
Carney was speaking as the first non-European leader to attend a meeting of the European Political Community, which opened on Monday amid high tensions in the strait of Hormuz and renewed doubts about the US commitment to Nato.
“We don’t think that we’re destined to submit to a more transactional, insular and brutal world, and gatherings such as these point to a better way forward,” he said.
Woke Archaeology
What one expects when visiting an archaeology museum are vestiges of the past, the remains of the civilizations that preceded us, and the traces our ancestors left in history. What one does not expect to find are woke narratives more typical of a Netflix series, but that is what we can find in some Spanish museums thanks to the nefarious ideological work of Minister of Culture Ernest Urtasun.
Commons tracks Canadians’ Facebook posts about MPs in internal security files
House of Commons officials are keeping detailed internal records on what Canadians say about their elected representatives online, including comments posted to social media, according to testimony at a parliamentary committee.
Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Mellon told MPs the Commons maintains what he described as a “very robust records management system” that catalogues incidents involving members of Parliament, including online remarks that may be critical or offensive.
What’s behind the Trump-Meloni divorce?
President Donald Trump threatened last week to withdraw troops from Italy. The threat followed his public accusation that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni “lacked courage” after she defended Pope Leo XIV against Trump’s attacks, and refused to allow U.S. warplanes to transit Italian airspace for strikes on Iran. These two leaders began 2025 as close allies. That now seems like a long time ago.

Europeans back Canada joining EU, poll finds. But membership faces long odds
A new survey suggests that public opinion in the five largest member states leans in favour of admitting Canada to the European Union.
The research, conducted by international market research and data analytics firm YouGov, surveyed more than 1,000 adults in each of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain. Respondents were asked: “To what extent, if at all, would you support or oppose Canada joining the European Union?”
A corrupt union of declining powers. A perfect match for Carney’s vision.
