Americans never tire of asking themselves whether their country is turning into Rome. A Latin motto on the Great Seal of the United States proclaims a novus ordo seclorum – a “new order of ages.” But in the poem from which that phrase is adapted, Virgil’s fourth eclogue, the words mean a quite exact replay of past events: there will be, for example, another voyage of the Argo and another Trojan War. Our new order might likewise repeat the history of Rome.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Grocery prices are elevated, gas prices are high, job markets are cooling, and U.S. President Donald Trump is sticking to his tariff plans while the world eyes a shaky ceasefire with Iran.
The two-week truce this week between the U.S. and Iran has raised hopes and markets while lowering oil prices somewhat — Brent is now in the mid-US$90s per barrel, down from a conflict peak of $120 — but there are already signs that peace may not last: There are disagreements over Lebanon’s inclusion in the ceasefire, Israel is vowing to continue hitting Hezbollah, and Tehran has said continued hits on Lebanon render any negotiations pointless.
In June 2024, a cyber-attack on a pathology services company caused chaos across London’s hospitals. More than 10,000 appointments were cancelled. Blood shortages followed and delays to blood tests led to a patient’s death.
Lethal cyber-attacks like this are thankfully rare. But a new AI release could change that – plunging us into a terrifying new world of chaos and disruption to the digital systems that we rely on.
This week Anthropic, a leading AI company in San Francisco, announced “Claude Mythos Preview”, an AI model that the startup says is too dangerous to publicly release, thanks to its exceptional cybersecurity – and cyber-attacking – capabilities. Mythos, the company claims, has found vulnerabilities in every major browser and operating system. In other words, this new AI model might be able to help hackers disrupt much of the world’s most important software.
As Prime Minister Mark Carney made the rounds on day two of his party’s Montreal convention, two types of Liberals kept trying to shake his hand.
One, the lifetime Liberals, who’ve known every party leader for decades. The other, young Liberals, whose introduction to the party was through former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s progressive values.
Neither are sure what to make of the newest Liberal among them and what it says about the future under Mr. Carney.
Iran has ostensibly agreed to a two-week ceasefire — which, intentionally or not, it broke within minutes — and to negotiations. At first glance, an agreement may seem a meaningful step. With the Islamic Republic of Iran, however, a ceasefire does not necessarily indicate a genuine shift in intent. As US President Donald J. Trump and his negotiators undoubtedly know, it more likely functions as a tactical pause to relieve pressure, rebuild capabilities, and buy time under the cover of diplomacy.
It’s easy to see why the Carney government wants to overturn the unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the Federal Court of Appeal condemning the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act (EA) during the trucker convoy demonstrations in February 2022.
The appeal court’s Jan. 16 ruling – upholding the 2024 judgment of Justice Richard Mosley that the government’s actions were unconstitutional and unlawful– is a devastating indictment of what the Liberal government did, reflecting many of the arguments made by the protesters.
Donald Trump has reportedly said he will issue pardons en masse to his closest advisers at the end of his second presidency, promising them in casual conversations over the last year.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval [Office],” the president reportedly said in a recent meeting, garnering laughs from the room, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing an anonymous source.
The publication reported that another source had said Trump used the line in an earlier conversation, but with a smaller radius: he said he would pardon anyone who came within 10ft of the presidential office. Other sources claim Trump has floated hosting a news conference at the end of his term where he will announce mass pardons.
MONTREAL – Federal Liberals have agreed to set 16 as the age of majority for Canadians to be able to use social media accounts.
Party grassroots passed a non-binding resolution Saturday morning for the restriction and to place the onus on social media companies to enforce it.
Quebec MP Rachel Bendayan says prolonged social media use is harmful to the mental health of young Canadians.
They’ll extend this to your retirement years ASAP.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), the leading Democrat gubernatorial candidate for California, has been accused of rape by a former staffer and varying forms of sexual misconduct by three other women. Swalwell has denied all claims of assault, though he acknowledged he has made “mistakes” that he has to work through with his wife.
At long last, billionaire Frank Stronach’s high-profile sex assault trial has sputtered to an end.
Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy told the 93-year-old she hopes to have a decision by June on whether the former auto parts magnate is guilty or innocent of sexually assaulting three young women more than 40 years ago.
It’s difficult to “trust all women” when the crown does such a poor job.
A machete-wielding suspect attacked three people at New York City’s Grand Central station before he was fatally shot by police, in a rampage that diverted trains at the nation’s biggest rail hub.
The suspect slashed an 84-year-old man and a 65-year-old man about the head and face and left a 70-year-old woman with cuts to her shoulder in the subway platform attack.
Police said the assailant, 44-year-old Anthony Griffin, ignored repeated demands to drop the weapon and called himself Lucifer.
MONTREAL — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s agenda at the party’s 2026 convention was simple: a little byelection politicking, a little schmoozing, a little hockey cheering, sprinkled with a lot of speechifying.
For about 4,500 federal Liberals who gathered, their agenda also seemed simple. They mainly came to hail Carney, the leader whose arrival a year ago threw the Liberal Party of Canada a political lifeline.
The Liberal party has Patrick Pichette a former Senior VP of Google on stage who lives in Europe by the way, say that if Canadians want to leave Canada to work in the US they need to pay an exit tax of half a million dollars.
