The Texan building nuclear bunkers to prepare Americans for World War Three

War, for most people, brings confusion, fear and destruction. But for Ron Hubbard, it brings something else altogether: opportunity.

The 63-year-old Texan builds bunkers designed to help customers survive drone attacks, ballistic missile strikes or even nuclear Armageddon. With the US war with Iran sparking fears of World War Three, business has never been better for his company, Atlas.

“I’ve been inundated with calls”, Hubbard says in an interview with The Telegraph, describing how enquiries from Americans had gone up “tenfold” since the war with Iran broke out on Saturday. Hubbard claims two senior Cabinet members in the Trump administration are amongst his clients.

Liberal gun buyback program goes from bad to farce

The federal Liberals’ gun buyback scheme just keeps getting more and more expensive and more and more useless by the week.

Late last year, the feds conducted a trial run of their confiscation program, more than five years after they first announced it. For six weeks on Cape Breton, regional police accepted banned guns that were being turned in by their owners in return for compensation.

BBC mistranslates Pete Hegseth’s speech on Iran, mistakenly swaps Iranian ‘regime’ with Iranian ‘people’

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Persian mistranslated part of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech Monday on Iran, making it appear that the United States was targeting the Iranian “people” rather than the Iranian “regime.”

During BBC Persian’s broadcast of the war secretary’s speech to audiences inside Iran, the network mistranslated the word “regime” as “mardom,” which means “people” in Persian.

This mix-up led audiences to believe the Iranian people were being targeted by the U.S., when, in reality, Hegseth had said the Iranian regime was being targeted by American forces.

U.S. intelligence sees Canada as ‘serious place of concern for Iranian activity’: National security analyst

While the war in Iran intensifies, the ripple effects of the conflict are already being felt around the world, including inside Canada.

The Islamic Republic of Iran operates a global network of regime sympathizers and sleeper cell operatives connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

WAGNER: When Canadians fought for freedom, Pierre Trudeau fought against it

The 1968 federal election was the first for the new Progressive Conservative leader, Robert Stanfield. Like other leaders before him, Stanfield had a Quebec lieutenant, in this case, Marcel Faribault. Westerners were suspicious of Faribault.

At a candidate forum in the rural Alberta riding of Crowfoot, arch-conservative MP Jack Horner was asked about Faribault. Himself a bit skeptical of the fellow, Horner replied, “I don’t know much about Faribault, but at least I could say this: that he’d fought for our country in the last war. Need I say more?” The audience went quiet.

Trump convenes ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with 12 Latin American leaders

Donald Trump changed the channel from Iran to the western hemisphere on Saturday, convening a gathering of Latin American leaders at his Miami-area golf club to discuss regional interests and establishing what he called a “counter-cartel coalition”.

“Just as we formed a coalition to eradicate Isis, we now need a coalition to eradicate the cartels,” he told 12 regional leaders gathered at what the White House called the “Shield of the Americas” summit.

“We must recognize that the epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico,” where “the cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere.”

As Carney seeks strengthened global alliances, is it time Canada join the EU?

Since taking office, Prime Minister Mark Carney has made his desire to cut Canada’s economic dependence on the United States crystal clear. And along the way, he’s referenced Europe as a top destination for Canadian goods.

“As the most European of the non-European countries, Canada looks first to the European Union to build a better world,” Carney said last June at an EU-Canada summit in Brussels.

From that point on came steady and deeper integration. Canada has since signed a security and defence partnership with the EU, and this week the two sides agreed to enhance their existing free trade agreement.

Joining the EU would be like an orgasm for Carney.

Zelensky Sparks Fury With Threat Against Orbán

A diplomatic rift has erupted between Kyiv and Budapest after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that Ukrainian soldiers could “call and speak” to those blocking a €90 billion EU loan—widely understood to mean Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán.

Speaking after a government meeting on Thursday, March 5th, Zelensky said the contact details of those responsible for blocking the funds could be handed to Ukrainian soldiers so they could “call and speak to him in their own language.” The comments quickly triggered condemnation from Hungarian officials and political figures across Europe.

In Canada’s major cities, fertility rates are in steep decline. What happened?

Every major city across Canada has seen a drop in fertility rates over the past five years – with many cities falling to record new lows – according to data obtained by The Globe and Mail.

While Canada’s fertility rate has been declining for more than six decades, it’s fallen especially steeply over the past decade, earning Canada entry in 2023 into the club of “lowest-low” fertility countries, alongside South Korea, Italy and Japan. The Globe and Mail requested data from Statistics Canada on fertility rates for major urban areas between 2020 to 2024, in order to understand how this has played out in our largest cities.
