Would Zelensky win an election? It depends if he’s won a peace deal
The president, whose ratings have plummeted, may soon announce elections. He could triumph, writes a Ukrainian pollster, but only if war with Russia grinds on
Before Russia invaded Ukraine, my country’s politics followed a simple formula. The public was gripped by a spirit of exalted optimism before each presidential election, only to be followed soon afterwards by the crash of deep disappointment. Nearly every holder of that office followed that path, beginning with a high credit of trust and ending with humiliatingly low figures.
Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to be walking the same road. He was elected in 2019 with net trust ratings of 71 per cent. Yet after almost three years in power those ratings have plummeted to minus 15 per cent.
WTF?

Canadian Security Intelligence Service refuses to reveal areas targeted by foreign agents in last election
Canada’s top intelligence agency refused to disclose how many federal ridings in the 2025 election were direct targets of foreign agents, including those potentially from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the campaign.
Asked recently before the House of Commons affairs committee about the foreign agents, Vanessa Lloyd, a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) election monitor, said, “I am not able to tell you the numbers.”

007 has to be a white man, says Bond girl
A former Bond girl has said that 007 has to be a white man.
Maryam d’Abo, 65, who played a cello smuggling Bond girl in the The Living Daylights in 1987, has given her verdict on who Daniel Craig’s successor should be.
Asked if she thought a black actor could be cast, she said: “Then don’t call it Bond. Call it something else. You can have a wonderful black hero, but then don’t call him James Bond.”
WTF?

Freeland Violated Election Act in Press Conference Comments: Elections Canada
Former Liberal MP and cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland violated Elections Act by commenting on a 2024 Toronto byelection in favour of her party during official government press conferences, Canada’s elections commissioner says.
Caroline Simard, commissioner of Elections Canada, said in a report released on Feb. 13 that Freeland’s comments amounted to “unlawful contributions” to a political entity.
BURNEY: The climate apocalypse that never came — why net zero will destroy Western civilization
How the UN’s $275 trillion climate agenda threatens global prosperity while ignoring real science.
Paul MacRae’s book “Through the Looking Glass: A Citizen’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Climate Science” is a meticulous repudiation of the pseudo-science that has driven the debate, nationally and internationally, on climate change or global warming for decades. The fact that apocalyptic prophesies by “experts” like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg have not materialized should be proof enough, but MacRae digs deeper to expose the fallacies versus the facts. His views command new currency as many countries focus on more pressing and practical priorities for public funds.
Why Europe’s elites have embraced sneering anti-Americanism
In recent months, anti-Americanism has emerged yet again as a respectable prejudice in Europe. It is widely promoted through the mainstream media and enthusiastically endorsed by the continent’s cultural elites. There are now even numerous campaigns to boycott American goods – most respondents to a survey in France said they would support a boycott of US brands like Tesla, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. As a piece in Euractiv put it, anti-Americanism is ‘in vogue across Europe’.
“Unprecedented Crime Convergence” in Canada: 668 Organized Crime Groups Networked Into 48 Nations, Potentially “Hundreds of Billions” Laundered Each Year, Washington Institute Finds
WASHINGTON — A former senior U.S. intelligence official has concluded that an “unprecedented crime convergence” is underway across Canada, involving nearly 700 organized crime groups operating in strategic cooperation and networked into 48 countries—amid virtually no coordinated national response from Ottawa—resulting in potentially hundreds of billions of dollars laundered in the country each year.
Parliamentary Panel: Islamism Poses an Existential Threat to France
Islamism constitutes an existential threat to France, as the danger now lies within and includes a separatist dimension involving ideological militant coalitions with the far left and anticolonial movements, a bombshell report from lawmakers in France’s National Assembly warns.
Published on December 17, 2025, the 639-page dossier reveals that the French Muslim vote has gravitated heavily to the Left, with a notable preference for La France Insoumise (LFI), a far-left party accused of strategically collaborating with Islamism to gain control over France.

This made-in-Canada ‘psychopath test’ doesn’t work and has no place in courts, major study finds
A made-in-Canada test to detect whether a criminal is a “psychopath” is outdated, unreliable, and a poor predictor of recidivism, says a University of Toronto researcher who is calling for an end to its use in criminal courts.
“We should probably consider a complete moratorium on these types of assessments,” says Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, the lead author of the largest study yet of how psychopathy tests are used in legal settings.
Eco extravaganza exposes Charles as a self-righteous, deluded fake
KING Charles III should be growing up (he’s 77 years old) and moving on from his lonely youth and long, frustrating princeship. Instead, he’s repackaging his juvenile environmentalism as a wide-ranging philosophy.
Environmentalism has merits. But the King’s environmentalism has always been uneducated, egotistical, defiant, unresponsive and somewhat cuckoo.
‘We’re so vulnerable’: How Canadians can cope with anxiety in the face of existential threats from the U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term has threatened Canada with annexation and economic ruin and destabilized much of the international order that has governed the world since the Second World War, leaving many Canadians feeling anxious and concerned.
The barrage includes comments about Canada becoming the 51st state, warnings not to challenge Trump, job insecurity because of the existing trade war and threats of increased tariffs.
“Any talk of assaulting my country in any way, whether it’s economic or territorially … I mean, I could cry right now,” said Lili Wexu, a French Canadian originally from Montreal who’s living and working in Los Angeles as a bilingual voice actress.
