WTF?

The contempt Trump feels for his Nato allies is mutual
The war in Iran has revealed plenty about America’s ability to inflict damage on its enemies, Tehran’s capacity to resist pressure and Washington’s broader tendency to get itself stuck in the Middle East – a region several US presidents planned to extricate from. The conflict has been paused since 7 April due to a ceasefire that Trump extended earlier in the week. But it is nonetheless revealing a gradual systemic shift in the so-called international order that has been bubbling beneath the surface for years.
The movable object is none other than the transatlantic alliance which, through Nato, has bound the United States and most of Europe into a single security construct. That perennial institution, which security elites on both sides of the Atlantic have for decades held up as the pinnacle of what an alliance should be, is beginning to lose its lustre. This is thanks to the weight of diverging geopolitical priorities, divisions within Europe itself and President Trump’s propensity to treat European states as the equivalent of a lazy 25 year old who refuses to leave the house and get a job.

Israel welcomes Senate antisemitism report, but groups point out it doesn’t mention Islam for some odd reason
… Amir Epstein, CEO of Jewish advocacy group Tafsik, said that while the report properly acknowledges the rise in antisemitism, it shows a dangerous disconnect by ignoring the key factors driving Canada’s surge of anti-Jewish hatred.
“By ignoring the rise of antisemitism and anti-Zionism alongside the rise in immigration from countries that breed religious and cultural hate towards Jews, the government is refusing to acknowledge a problem obvious to anyone with a scintilla of intellectual honesty,” he said.
When your so-called government pushes blatant lies they demonstrate they simply do not care about the consent to govern.
Canada is not a free country.
How Gavin Newsom Subsidized the Migrant Invasion
Former President Joe Biden’s administration oversaw an unprecedented wave of migration across the southwestern border of the United States. Migrants convoyed in “caravans” in hopes of overwhelming border authorities. Cartels trafficked drugs and people in droves. At some points, American authorities estimated that more than 130,000 people were crossing into the U.S. each month; arrivals came not just from Latin America but every corner of the earth.
Just fire Christiane Fox already
It’s time for Prime Minister Mark Carney to fire Christiane Fox before she becomes a stain on his own reputation.
The deputy minister at the Department of National Defence broke a key ethics rule, offered a lame defence of her actions, and doesn’t seem to understand why helping an acquaintance get a job in her department is a problem.
Does that sound like the sort of person who should be heading a major federal department?
Trump’s Iran Doctrine: A Strategy for the History Books
If you listen to the mainstream media, you might come away with the impression that Iran is somehow prevailing — resilient, defiant, and still shaping events across the Middle East. The narratives often suggest that the US campaign has failed and that Tehran remains firmly in control. In reality, however, US President Donald J. Trump has pursued a strategy that departs radically from decades of precedent — one that has left the Iranian regime cornered in ways not previously seen.
The important questions raised by Parliament’s game of musical chairs
With Liberal MPs holding a majority of seats in the House of Commons, government House leader Steven MacKinnon moved a motion on Thursday that would see that majority reflected in the allotment of seats on House committees.
This would be an entirely unremarkable development — the sort of procedural housekeeping that occurs at the start of each Parliament — except for the fact that it was happening a year after the last general federal election.
It is for that reason — and for the remarkable events that have transpired over the last 12 months — that the change to committees was not simply waved through the House this week with unanimous consent.
An immediate election call after a floor crossing may dampen the enthusiasm.
Sam Bankman-Fried Withdraws Appeal From Prison — Even as His Investments in SpaceX and Anthropic Appear Prophetic
The withdrawal of an appeal for a new trial from the convicted crypto-mogul Sam Bankman-Fried signals that his quest to exonerate himself from behind bars is a daunting one — even as he maintains his innocence and presses his appeal along other channels.The retrial request, formally known as a Rule 33 motion, was filed in February. Rule 33 motions allow for defendants to request a new trial based on newly discovered evidence or fundamental unfairness.
OpenAI’s Altman ‘deeply sorry’ company didn’t flag Tumbler Ridge shooter’s messages to police
Sam Altman, the chief executive officer of OpenAI, has formally apologized for his company’s role in the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.
The apology was requested by B.C. Premier David Eby, who met with Mr. Altman and Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka last month to discuss the Feb. 10 shooting that left nine people, including the shooter, dead.
Nolte: Award-Winning French Director Predicts Famous AI Actors Within Two Years
Award-winning French director Mathieu Kassovitz is embracing AI and predicts that “in two years from now nobody will care” if actors are real or AI.
Kassovitz arrived on the scene as a respected international filmmaker 30 years ago with his 1995 masterpiece La Haine, a critical and financial hit that won him the Best Director prize at that year’s Cannes Film Festival.
So long as the AI creations refrain from calling me a racist because I didn’t vote as instructed I won’t care.
Trump offers immediate tariff relief to Canadian aluminum and steel companies that commit to U.S. expansion
The Trump administration is now offering Canadian and Mexican aluminum and steel companies immediate tariff relief if they commit to moving production to the United States in the future.
The U.S published the notice on Thursday during a tense week that saw both American and Canadian officials publicly air their grievances.
“It’s a very aggressive tactic by the United States,” said international trade lawyer William Pellerin. “This really reinforces the approach that we’ve seen from the United States for a while now, which is simply: We win if you lose.”
SPLC and Pravda: a Match Made in Heaven
It’s worth noting that the SPLC is getting a full-court defense from Pravda for a reason: the driving narrative about Donald Trump, political violence, and the need for a censorship infrastructure in the United States is largely buttressed by references to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map.”
All the major news organizations rely heavily on the SPLC to tell them whom to slander; the US government partnered with the SPLC to determine whom to investigate; social media companies turned to the SPLC for advice on whom to censor; and public school curricula are designed around SPLC talking points.
Trio busted in Scarborough shooting; man gunned down in Toronto’s west end
Three young men face charges – and a handgun has been seized – in connection with a shooting in Scarborough two months ago.
Toronto Police say officers responded to a shooting call in the area of Kennedy Rd. and Antrim Cr. – north of Progress Ave. – around 10 p.m. on Feb. 20.
DHS Hooks an Illegal Alien Somali Pirate
Said Jama Ahmed might not be walking the plank, but the Somali pirate definitely needs to be shipped out of our country.
Ahmed, in fact, has a history with the U.S. military and federal immigration enforcement, as the Navy caught him committing piracy in the Gulf of Aden back in 2012, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) later caught him here in 2024 after he illegally entered our country. It appears authorities removed him, but he returned to try to enter America from the north instead of the south. Apparently, piracy wasn’t the lucrative profession he thought it would be, so he decided to sneak into our country and rob American taxpayers instead.
