Alberta is flirting with the Americans again. A few bold souls are down in DC, on their own dime, asking about diplomatic recognition and — bless their pragmatic hearts — a line of credit.
Predictably, the “Forever Canada, Elbows Up” crowd has dropped their avocado toast in horror, screaming “Treason!” with the kind of theatrics usually reserved for a Truckers convoy or a minor dip in Toronto real estate prices.
Yesterday, Russia, Ukraine and the US met for yet another round of peace talks in Geneva. At around the same time, scores of missiles and hundreds of drones pummeled Ukrainian infrastructure, causing chaos across eight regions and injuring dozens of people. And, in a sense, both these events are connected: as the war in Eastern Europe enters its fifth year, a peaceful resolution seems no closer than it did a year ago, when Trump began his second term promising a swift end to the conflict. If anything, in fact, peace seems to be receding ever further from reach.
If there’s one thing Canadians can reliably expect from our housing market as we approach the spring, it’s plenty of drama.
No matter which group the market ends up favouring – those in search of a home or those looking to offload one – the high costs and high stakes of Canadian real estate are guaranteed to stir up the kind of suspense typical of a bingeworthy TV show. By its very nature, our market-based housing system is adversarial. It pits buyers against sellers and renters against landlords in a battle for fairness and fortune. That our system produces winners and losers has become a perverse but accepted norm in our society; it’s just the way it works.
By virtually any other measure, however, it doesn’t work very well at all.
The Left believes that any time President Trump criticizes or rightly attacks the media, it represents an abhorrent, unconstitutional breach of the First Amendment, and threatens the concept of a free press. That, of course, isn’t true. But we can’t help but notice that the Left is awfully silent on this actual attack on the press.

There were two speeches inside the speech on Canada-U.S. relations that Pierre Poilievre gave Thursday. One was intended to make him sound like a grown-up. The other was to make him sound different than Mark Carney.
The first part was the kind of political repositioning that Mr. Poilievre has long needed.
OMG. Shelby Lang Smith, the man accused of spraying anti-ICE graffiti at the Oklahoma Capitol, is a REGISTERED CHILD S*X OFFENDER.
Of course…

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Roughly translated, this means “Who guards the guardians?”
While many attribute the phrase to the Roman poet Juvenal, I first heard it in an episode of Justice League Unlimited, a kids’ cartoon about the adventures of Superman, Batman, and their assorted costumed friends. It’s an apt phrase for contextualizing the recent news concerning the FBI and its use of assessments to surveil and investigate Americans at whim.
When asked, “What would break your heart if it disappeared from LA?”

Huh?
The NDP should have a singular focus for the short- and medium-term: finding a way back to official party status. Everything else can come later. In fact, everything else will only come later if the NDP is once again a party with at least 12 seats in the House of Commons. That official party status will unlock desperately needed funds for a starving party: more than $1.1-million, for example, for a party leader’s office budget. There’s another million and change for research. Money for technology, printing and travel. Plus dedicated spots on parliamentary committees, and daily questions during Question Period. A political party needs those things to get its message out, to fundraise, and to grow.
Donald Trump is everywhere; that’s true for his country and for the world. At home, Trump is engaged in an astonishing number of high-visibility battles with institutions once controlled by the progressive Left: the lower courts, the prestige universities, corporate media old and new, cultural gatekeepers like the Smithsonian Institution and Washington’s Kennedy Center, the governors and mayors of Democratic-run jurisdictions, and more. Beyond these shores, we find him bunker-bombing Iran, orchestrating peace between Israel and Hamas, inaugurating a shooting war on Mexican and Venezuelan drug cartels, forcing NATO allies to jack up their defense spending, and ripping apart the globalized economy.
OTTAWA — OpenAI says it is taking “immediate actions” to overhaul safety protocols after it chose not to report a Canadian ChatGPT user that police say went on to kill eight people, including six at a secondary school.
On Thursday, the tech giant revealed that the perpetrator managed to create a second account after OpenAI shut down the first over problematic entries.
The company has since faced scrutiny for not reporting the account to police amid questions about its ability to track banned users.
Neil Sedaka, legendary singer-songwriter behind hits like “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” “Bad Blood,” “Laughter in the Rain” and “Calendar Girl,” has died, a rep confirms to Variety. He was 86.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, when he liberated Europe’s concentration camps, insisted that journalists and photographers document the atrocities immediately, or, he predicted, the world would soon say they had never actually happened.
In a few years from now, the last survivors of the Holocaust will have disappeared, and the memory of what happened will fade even further.
The Holocaust was infinitely more than an attack on “dignity and human rights.” It was a unique crime: the attempt at the total extermination of an entire people by industrial means in supposedly civilized countries of the West.
Canada’s immigration, refugee and asylum system has long been broken, and to claim any questioning of it is based on racism, as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet ministers often do when they are challenged by the Conservatives, is absurd.
A decade-old study claiming to find evidence of the earthquake described in the Bible at the time of Jesus’s crucifixion is reigniting debate after resurfacing online.
The Gospel of Matthew says ‘the earth shook’ moments after Jesus cried out before dying on the cross, and researchers in 2012 reported evidence that could support the verse.
A team of geologists examined sediment layers near the Dead Sea, about 25 miles from where many scholars believe the crucifixion took place. Their analysis revealed signs of at least two significant earthquakes affecting the region.
