The surreal case of an Albanian criminal who tried to dodge removal from the UK in part by claiming his son disliked foreign chicken nuggets—yes, really—reached its inevitable conclusion this week, when he won the right to stay in Britain.
Klevis Disha entered the country illegally under a false name, lied in his asylum claim, and was later jailed for two years after being caught with £250,000, known to be proceeds of crime.
Amazing. Why didn't I learn about him in school? @fancypants_s https://t.co/0uxZtSMYbI

The Liberal government leaned further into its emerging leadership role among the world’s middle powers, with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand telling a London audience that now is the country’s time to lead internationally.
Making the keynote address at the 2026 Chatham House Global Trade Conference on Thursday, Anand said that a country’s greatness stems not just from its domestic successes, but in providing leadership that benefits the world.

The U.S. and its allies have intensified the battle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, sending low-flying attack jets over the sea lanes to blast Iranian naval vessels and Apache helicopters to shoot down Iran’s deadly drones, American military officials said.
The stepped-up operation is part of a multistage Pentagon plan to reduce the danger from Iranian armed boats, mines and cruise missiles, which have halted ship traffic through the waterway since early March. If the danger can be reduced, the U.S. could send U.S. warships through the strait and eventually escort vessels in and out of the Persian Gulf.

A year after protective hoarding was removed from the Ontario legislature’s statue of Sir John A. Macdonald, all monuments on the grounds are going under wraps to protect them from damage.
The move comes as MPPs return to Queen’s Park Monday for their spring session in the wake of a heated protest March 4 against Premier Doug Ford’s student financial aid cuts that saw a monument to Sir George Brown marred with graffiti.

A Canadian study casts further doubt on a key plank of the harm-reduction agenda.
Supervised consumption sites (SCSs), which offer drug users a place to get high under the observation of staff, have become a popular proposed solution to the North American overdose epidemic. But a recently released Canadian study shows that, contrary to the claims of harm reduction activists, these sites do not save lives. American policymakers should take heed and avoid replicating their northern neighbors’ failed experiments.

I’M NOT sure that this is a good use of the Government’s time, what with the war and everything, but now it has made sure that our overseas territories are either unprotected or given away, and that we remain the most unreliable actor on the international stage, it has got back to doing the thing that it does best: interfering where it’s not wanted. This time by inventing concepts.
Under the impression that it has a mandate to run the English language along with the country, the regime has refreshed its approach to policing what we can say (and therefore think) by creating a definition of ‘Islamophobia’, a word which most of us thought was (at best) a neologism anyway.

WASHINGTON — One week after the United States publicly shamed Beijing as the only nation in the world to vote against a United Nations resolution targeting the fentanyl precursor supply chain, China’s Hubei Province has announced a series of enforcement actions that typifies the pattern of cosmetic compliance that has allowed the Chinese Communist Party’s structural role in the global fentanyl trade to persist unchallenged.

Everyone is trying to read the tea leaves for the midterms. Democrats have been hyping their wins in very specialized races. And the Left has been declaring that it’s going to finish devouring and digesting the Democrats.
On paper, it should be looking good. The public is dissatisfied. The Left’s program of socialism disguised as economic populism and antisemitism disguised as anti-Zionism should be selling. Except the Illinois wipeout suggests it’s not.
I hope it gains momentum.

The federal government, which has twice lost its legal argument that its use of the Emergencies Act to end the Freedom Convoy protests in early 2022 was justified, is now asking for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The high court may or may not decide to hear it, but it it does, past comments by Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner condemning the Freedom Convoy will raise the question of whether he can be objective.
