I was worried and irritable. I’m so used to the press announcing the end of the world every day that when I open the newspapers and don’t see any apocalyptic predictions, I feel uneasy. We’ve learned to live with death at our heels, and now they can’t just tell us everything is fine. It’s like reading the major international media — almost all of them progressive — and suddenly coming across an article saying Trump has done something right. That throws you off and makes you uncomfortable. It feels like a secret warning that something terrible is about to happen.

What counts as the woods? Judge axes Nova Scotia’s ban that defied ‘commonsense definitions’
As wildfires raged across Nova Scotia last summer, the Canadian province made a simple plea to residents: stay away from the woods.
As the situation deteriorated, authorities turned the request into a prohibition: anyone caught hiking under the shade of the forest canopy faced a C$25,000 fine – a figure more than half the average worker’s yearly salary.
But exactly the emergency rules considered to be “the woods” was a challenge better suited to a philosopher than a confused hiker in a parking lot. Rock barrens, scrubland or marshes were all considered “woods”. So too was forest – but the presence of actual trees wasn’t necessary, just evidence they had once been there. Residents could still travel as long as it wasn’t “any great distance” through the woods.
What’s Wrong with a Little Microlooting?
If you’re wondering what the hot new trend among Brooklyn progressives is—apparently, it’s stealing from Whole Foods. That’s according to a recent episode of The Opinions, a New York Times podcast, in which host Nadja Spiegelman and guests Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino discuss what Spiegelman calls “microlooting”—“taking small things from big corporations and . . . feeling justified.”
Barbara Kay: Trans activist files human rights complaints against media for failing to deny reality
In Jonathan Swift’s satirical 18th century masterpiece, “Gulliver’s Travels,” his sea-faring protagonist visits various fictional lands, whose inhabitants represent facets of human nature that range from the merely irksome to the grimly repulsive. In the final chapter, we meet the noble race of Houyhnhnms — clean, attractive, kind, intelligent horses who are capable of conversing with Gulliver.
‘Persecuting Christians Is a Booming Business’: The Extremist Persecution of Christians, January 2026
“The night I was abducted, they killed my mother and kidnapped my older sister and me. The slightest mistakes are severely punished. For women, they kill their children and throw them into a hole. They would send me to kill people on my own, and when I refused, I was whipped all over my body.” — persecution.org, January 22, 2026, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Months after $16M deal, city may give away building tied to top bureaucrat
The City of Toronto bought a five-storey building from an organization co-founded by a top bureaucrat – and it appears it may already be planning to give it away.
Just months after last year’s $16-million purchase of 720 Bathurst St., City Hall has indicated it may hand over the deed to a group that has signed on to run a homeless shelter, exclusively for indigenous men, out of that brick building.
Muslims and separatists launch coordinated attacks across Mali
Islamic militants and separatists attacked several locations in Mali’s capital and other cities on Saturday in one of the largest coordinated attacks in the country in recent years.
The al-Qaida-linked militant group JNIM claimed responsibility for the attacks on Bamako’s international airport and four other cities in central and northern Mali on its website, Az-Zallaqa. It said the attacks were carried out jointly with the Azawad Liberation Front, a Tuareg-led separatist group.
Mali has previously faced insurgencies fought by affiliates of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, as well as a separatist rebellion in the north.

‘We have to be very cautious’: Former Tory leader Erin O’Toole’s advice to PM Carney on China
Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole is cautioning the prime minister that despite the need to diversify trade, China is not a substitute for the United States.
O’Toole has been tapped to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s 24-member Canada-U.S. Advisory Committee, unveiled this week as a formal review of the countries’ trilateral trade deal with Mexico fast approaches.
More than a year into a protracted trade war with the United States, meanwhile, Carney is once again emphasizing a shift in the relationship with Canada’s closest neighbour, describing Canada’s ties to the U.S. as a “weakness” in a social media video last Sunday.

There will be no European Union nuclear deterrent
Nuclear weapons are treated by the governments that have them as a useful tool. Obtaining a nuclear weapon enters you into a rare club where you are Taken Seriously. It also allows you to credibly defend yourself against countries much more powerful, larger, and more militarised than oneself.
Aboriginal title cases should take into account the taxpayer money paid to First Nations
In August 2025, after one of the longest trials in Canadian history, Justice Barbara Young of the British Columbia Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling declaring that the Cowichan Tribes hold “Aboriginal title” to 800 acres of land in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond.
The 800 acres includes government land and 150 “fee simple” properties, the most common form of residential land ownership in Canada. In other words, people’s homes and businesses.
