Poll finds 80% back fast-tracking deportations in extortion cases as Liberal Party Voter Import Program continues to draw negative attention
The sheer amount of extortion attempts and extortion-related shootings in British Columbia has commanded national and international attention. It is not surprising to see more than half of British Columbians (56 per cent) saying they have followed news related to this situation “very closely” or “moderately closely” over the past month.
At this moment, respondents of South Asian descent are more likely to be captivated by this story (67 per cent) than their counterparts whose heritage is Indigenous (59 per cent), European (56 per cent) or East Asian (55 per cent).
Is Gender Medicine Diminishing Trust in Doctors?
Transgender issues have become a serious liability for Democrats, according to a new poll by the Substack-based, left-leaning publication The Argument. The poll, which surveyed 3,003 registered voters nationally between February 4 and 10, asked about hot-button policy questions related to gender self-identification, including access to bathrooms, participation in sports teams, teaching gender identity in schools, and the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors. In all those cases, a majority opposed the policies favored by the progressive faction of the Democratic Party. The only area in which a majority supported trans policies was protection from discrimination in housing and employment.
Canadians think Trump’s tariffs are only going to get worse, poll finds
OTTAWA — Canadians fear that tariff threats from the United States are only going to get worse, a new poll found.
Forty-six per cent of Canadians believe that U.S. President Donald Trump will raise tariffs on Canada, which is an increase of 19 percentage points since May 2025. Only 20 per cent of Canadians think that tariffs will be rescinded, a decrease of 20 percentage points from last year.
Trump Is Allowing China to Take Over Critical U.S. Tech
The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to allow American data centers to buy Chinese equipment, thereby permitting Beijing to steal as much as it wants and perhaps remotely control or take down these critical facilities. Moreover, Commerce recently has not implemented a number of other obviously needed restrictions on Chinese technology and Chinese companies.
The Trump administration’s effort to protect American infrastructure from China has collapsed. It now appears Beijing has a veto on American tech policy.
John Robson: In Mark Carney’s Canada, nothing matters
Not even being conquered seems to matter all that much
The other day I got a really scary idea. Second-hand, this time, from Post columnist Chris Selley who cast it before X last December and I pounced. Does it matter?
Not that I’m pinching it. As John Ruskin said, borrowing is fine if you pay interest. And what Selley said that should interest us all and has been haunting me since was: “Historians will (hopefully) view this as the period when Canadians and their government(s) realize, to their horror, that some things actually matter.”
Virginia Giuffre’s family respond to Andrew arrest: ‘A stain on the royals’
Virginia Giuffre’s family has called Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest a “stain” on the royal family and said they hoped the moment would lead to a “cultural change” where powerful people are held to account.
Giuffre’s allegations of abuse by Andrew more than a decade ago paved the way for a substantial US civil lawsuit settlement, the loss of his royal titles and patronages and his removal from public life.
Bell: Separatists seek support from Alberta snowbirds, Team Canada goes nuts
They couldn’t do it.
It was hoped their cause would make more of an effort than just burping up daily hysteria fuelled by social media.
But they couldn’t resist. And so we get to experience another eruption of phoney outrage.
Trump says world has 10 days to see if Iran agrees deal or ‘bad things happen’
President Donald Trump says the world will find out “over the next, probably, 10 days” whether the US will reach a deal with Iran or take military action.
At the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace in Washington DC, Trump said of negotiations with the Islamic Republic about its nuclear programme: “We have to make a meaningful deal otherwise bad things happen.”
In recent days, the US has surged military forces to the Middle East, while progress was also reported at talks between American and Iranian negotiators in Switzerland.
Steven Spielberg Fleeing California Ahead of Proposed Wealth Tax
Steven Spielberg has said goodbye to Hollywood and joined the growing list of billionaires fleeing California ahead of a hefty new proposed wealth tax as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) remains committed to taxing the state into prosperity.
Trump promises to impose new 10% global tariff
… “Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10 per cent global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged,” he said, during a press conference at the White House. “And we’re also initiating several section 301, and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.”
DC Water Manager Admitted Deciding Agency Had Too Many Whites – DEI Fixed That But Also Covered DC in 240 Million Gallons of Raw Sewage
Good news, Washington, D.C.
Sure, you may have your river water more, um, feces-enriched than before thanks to the failure of the Potomac Interceptor rupture. Sure, the sewage pipe’s failure is so massive that the media is calling it the “Pooptomac” disaster. (USA Today’s phraseology, not mine; I’d never be so juvenile as to say that, I’d just repeat it.) Sure, aging infrastructure is apparently to blame for the disaster, which has led to the spillage of roughly 240 million gallons of untreated sewage flowing into the Potomac River — the biggest spill in U.S. history.

Deflects from China Sell-out: Carney government shifts advertising budget to pseudo – patriotic slop only the Elbow people will believe
Carney government shifts advertising budget to more patriotic messaging
The federal government reallocated its advertising budget after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new cabinet was sworn in last year, recently disclosed figures show, shifting its priorities to patriotic and economic messages and purchasing pricey television airtime during major sporting events like the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics.
The Treasury Board Secretariat’s proactive disclosure of spending from its central advertising fund for the third quarter of 2025-26 itemizes how advertising resources were distributed across government departments, allowing for comparisons with the first two quarters of this year, as well as earlier fiscal years when Justin Trudeau was at the helm.
‘Who’s next?’ – American lawmakers call for ‘justice’ in the US after Andrew arrest
Members of Congress have urged the US government to take action against associates of Jeffrey Epstein, following the arrest in the UK of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
“Prince Andrew was just arrested,” Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman who co-sponsored the law that compelled the justice department to release the Epstein files, wrote on X. “Now we need JUSTICE in the United States.”
The King’s brother, who was stripped of his titles last year due to his ties with Epstein, has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
Terry Newman: Apparently, everything is discrimination now
A human rights tribunal has ordered a salon just outside of Montreal to pay a non-binary customer $500 because its list of services lacked a gender-neutral option. The tribunal’s ruling: discrimination based on gender identity. If the salon doesn’t pay, it risks being sued.
Apparently, everything is discrimination now.
Serial complainer.
