Heaping Vitriol on the Alberta Independence Movement Has the Opposite Effect Than Intended
The number of people lining up to support Alberta independence has reached a level that can’t be ignored, regardless of where people stand on the issue. Politicians and pundits have stopped ignoring the movement, but their reactions have been feeding separatist sentiment rather than defusing it. It’s almost certain that an independence referendum will be held in the fall of 2026. Opponents to Alberta independence must temper their reactions to the movement and embrace some political nuance if they want to see the “yes” side of the independence referendum defeated.
WTF?

Xi’s corruption purge to make army ready to invade Taiwan
At the press of a button, the lids of the missile silos in western China should open to launch nuclear weapons capable of reaching the United States.
But according to US intelligence released in 2024, the materials used to construct them were too heavy. Not only that, some of the missiles were filled with water rather than fuel.
The scandal – or some form of it – appears to have driven Xi Jinping, China’s president, to remove the entire leadership of Rocket Forces, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) division responsible for Beijing’s nuclear deterrent, in the months before the leak was published.
WTF?
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 😆@fancypants_s https://t.co/LGquJRvwlg

DOBBIE: Globe trotting PM needs to show some results
After a year of the Prime Minister whizzing around the world, Canada still has nothing concrete to pin our hopes on for a happier, more prosperous country.
Relationships with the United States are strained with Mr. Carney earning the title of Governor from Mr. Trump for the thinly veiled speech criticizing the President delivered by the Prime Minister to the world at Davos. Then, according to a witness to a phone conversation between the two, the prime minister climbed down from his lofty position. But once again, Mr. Carney has a different story to what the witness heard, telling Canadians that he stood by his word. This is not the first time we have seen conflicting stories from Mr. Carney about what he has said or not said.
Violent Radical Leftists Brutally Beat Policeman During Protest in Turin
Turin, Italy saw scenes of extreme violence on Saturday during a demonstration agains the eviction of the illegally occupied Askatasuna anarchist ’social centre’ last December. The centre was shut down and the property seized at the end of last year by DIGOS, the General Investigations and Special Operations Division (DIGOS) of the Italian Police, after the centre’s activists took part in an attack against the headquarters of Italian newspaper La Stampa.
In Turin, 30 anti-fascist protesters attacked a police officer lying on the ground from behind, using hammers and batons. Anti-fascists are terrorists and must be treated as such. There must be no mercy for them. pic.twitter.com/gVwJHWc1gs

Canadians now prioritize trade with China over human rights concerns
A growing majority of Canadians now view economic engagement with China as more important than focusing on the country’s human rights record, a new Angus Reid Institute poll shows.
Three-in-five respondents (59%) said trade and investment opportunities should be Canada’s main priority, marking a sharp shift from recent years when human rights concerns dominated public opinion.

Jan Matejcek: Mark Carney misread Havel and misled the world
I grew up in Communist Czechoslovakia, and after the Iron Curtain fell in 1989, I served proudly on the board of Czech President Václav Havel’s Vision ’97 Foundation. Having known him personally, I can say with certainty that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plans do not at all align with Havel’s vision.
A New Academy Award Category for Best Somali Actor?
The Somalis in Minnesota have put on the performance of a lifetime, seeking to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public.
Britain is becoming a surveillance state, but no one seems to care
Shabana Mahmood’s announcement that facial recognition is to be rolled out across the nation is no vague statement of aspiration. Part of wider policing reforms and backed by the promise of fifty more camera-topped vans, the Home Secretary’s announcement signals the government’s determination to make mass surveillance part of daily life. Combined with the current consultation on facial recognition, it also confirms that Britain is becoming a surveillance state without any real thought or debate.
‘It Wasn’t Working’: Canada Province Ends Drug Decriminalization
Over 35 years as a drug user, Vancouver resident Garth Mullins said he’s had “hundreds and hundreds” of interactions with police, and long believed drug decriminalization was smart policy.
“I was first arrested for drug possession when I was 19, and it changes your life,” said Mullins, who is now in his 50s and was an early backer of Canadian province British Columbia’s decriminalization program that ended on Saturday.
“That time served inside can add up for a lot of people. They do a lifetime jolt in a series of three‑month bits,” he told AFP.
I cannot believe it needs to be said but the Bard was not ‘a black woman’.
My reaction on reading headlines like ‘Shakespeare was a black woman’ is very much like that of Tom Hardy’s Mad Max on seeing a naked woman caged atop a tower in the middle of the desert: ‘That’s bait.’
The Godless Governance of Islam
Islam is not what the West thinks it is. While it uses the word religion to gain unobstructed entry into secular legal and social frameworks, its goal is not spiritual growth or private belief. It is state control. And wherever Islam gains power, it governs through law, not faith. Iran is the most recent example. In January 2026, the regime slaughtered an estimated 25,000 unarmed men, women, and children – using heavy machine guns and targeted headshots – to enforce obedience and suppress calls for its removal.
MORGAN: Don’t let the Liberals ruin our friendship with the USA
Canada and the United States of America have one of the strongest, most peaceful, and longest-lasting relationships between any two nations bordering each other in the world. Now, opportunistic, partisan brinkmanship is threatening that partnership, and it’s intolerable.
