BARCLAY: Not ‘moderates fleeing’ — floor-crossing Conservatives are cashing in on Liberal corruption

On February 18, Matt Jeneroux, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Edmonton-Riverbend, joined a cohort of other disgraced Conservative MPs, such as Michael Ma and Chris d’Entremont, and ‘crossed the floor’ in the House of Commons, to embrace the Liberal Party of Canada.

Predictably, a horde of liberal pundits and political actors have attempted to seize upon Jeneroux’s feckless politics and exit, in an effort to condemn the Conservative Party of Canada and claim that “moderates are fleeing the CPC.”

Ireland’s demographic experiment is reaching crisis point

Ireland has grown more diverse in recent years, and so has the country’s variety of recorded crimes. In 2022, two gay men were murdered in Sligo by the son of Iraqi-Kurdish refugees. In 2023, three children were stabbed at random in Dublin; the attacker only spoke Arabic to his translator in the following trial. In October 2025, a Kuwaiti national pleaded guilty to the murder of his eight-year-old daughter in Wexford the previous year. A more modest addition to this catalogue of horrors happened last November in Cork, when a man walked past a woman and elbowed her in the face, knocking her unconscious. She sustained a broken eye socket, while her attacker remains at large.

US, Israel vs Iran War

Support thin in Canada for operation to neutralize Iranian regime

OTTAWA — American and Israeli efforts to maintain security in the Middle East by decapitating Iran’s despotic regime isn’t winning many fans in Canada.

A new Angus Reid poll released this week demonstrates little consensus over the joint operation, with 26% of those polled saying they strongly oppose the operation against the Iranian regime, and 22% saying they oppose.

With John Tory Out, Bradford is statistically tied with Chow in Toronto Mayoral Election

For the better part of a year, Toronto politics has been suspended in a kind of waiting game.

Would John Tory try to come back? Would he test whether voters were willing to give him another shot? That question is now settled. He announced yesterday that is not running in October 2026.

With that uncertainty gone, the mayoral race snaps into clearer focus. What looked like a potentially crowded contest now looks increasingly like a head-to-head between Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford. And based on polling we conducted in late January as part of our Toronto Omnibus survey, I see a competitive race that Bradford can win.

London Police: One Rape Reported Every 60 Minutes

London, England

UK officials’ fear of being labeled racist or “Islamophobic” has allowed rape gangs—mainly composed of Pakistani-heritage men—to operate with near-impunity.

A total of 746 rapes were recorded in London in January, according to publicly available crime data from the Metropolitan Police Service.

The figures mean that, on average, one rape was reported roughly every 60 minutes in the British capital during the first month of the year.

A Canadian medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction

A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional.

Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society, has published the cases since 2000 in articles for a series for its Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The articles usually start with a case description followed by “learning points” that include statistics, clinical observations and data from CPSP. The peer-reviewed articles don’t state anywhere the cases described are fictional.

CHARLEBOIS: Why the Iran conflict could hit Canadian grocery bills

U.S. President Donald Trump seems to prefer launching major geopolitical moves when markets are closed – for a simple reason: markets react.

The United States abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3 – a Saturday. The joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Feb. 28 – also a Saturday. It gave markets time to digest the shock. But markets eventually reopen.

Decades in the planning, the Islamic Republic of Britain

IN A recent speech given in the House of Lords to the Cambridge University Conservative Association, Dr Gavin Ashenden, for ten years a chaplain to the Queen, spoke of a ‘respected’ imam with whom he had worked ‘for quite a long time’ while running inter-faith seminars at the university where he was employed.

At the conclusion of one of these events, Dr Ashenden relates, this man confided in him as follows: ‘I’ve been doing this for an awfully long time, but my task is complete. I arrived in the 1970s with the aim of inaugurating an Islamic republic of Great Britain, and I’ve done it. This country is going to be an Islamic republic or, at least, a partitioned portion of it, in the time of my grandchildren.’

Peter Shurman: We can dislike Trump, but that shouldn’t define us

Let’s begin with a blunt question: Does Donald Trump hate Canada?

There is no evidence that he does. During his presidency, he did not sever diplomatic ties, cancel trade outright or threaten military action. What he did do, repeatedly and unapologetically, was put American interests first. He drove a hard bargain in trade negotiations, imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, pressured NATO allies (including Canada) to increase defence spending and used language that many Canadians found abrasive, even offensive.

Two Muslim mothers in Quebec say they have been told they can no longer volunteer at their children’s elementary schools because they wear hijabs.

Sabaah Khan, a resident of Brossard, says she has spent more than a decade volunteering at her children’s schools, helping with activities ranging from library duties to vaccination days.
