Poilievre on ‘challenging year’ and what lies ahead

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre paused when asked how he’d describe the last year.

He was speaking with The Globe and Mail as part of a run of year-end interviews, many of which focused on the news of the two MPs who quit his party and joined Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals.

The surprise defections brought the minority Liberals to within one seat of a majority, and no one knows for certain whether another MP will go and if they do, whether Mr. Poilievre can remain as leader.

Well relocating his seat to Alberta may turn out for the best.

DC pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr.’s possible motive revealed: ‘Something just snapped’

DC pipe-bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. told authorities he wanted to “speak up” for people who believed the 2020 election was stolen and target the country’s political parties for being “in charge” after his arrest earlier this month, prosecutors said Sunday.

Cole, 30, told agents that “something just snapped” in him before he allegedly placed two pipe bombs by the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 riots, according to a newly filed Justice Department memo.

Jimmy Kimmel: Fake Progressive Hero Of The Year

That Jimmy Kimmel morphed from a fat, whiny side-kick to Adam Carolla into a less-fat, whinier leftist whose second wife neutered him and keeps his testicles in a Mason jar under the stairs should surprise no one. Fat dudes, even after they lose the weight, always remain fat in their heads and act fat for the rest of their lives. And Jimmy Kimmel acts fat – both the victim of society’s bulk judgment, and the perp of stuffing his face, figuratively. This self-martyrdom makes him the perfect progressive hero.

Cory Morgan: Canada Faces Unprecedented Challenges to Its Unity in 2026

The future of Canada’s federation will be a top issue in 2026. An independence referendum is all but assured to be held in Alberta next fall while independence groups are organizing in Saskatchewan and pressuring the Scott Moe government to allow a provincial referendum. In Quebec, the Parti Québécois (PQ) is strongly favoured to win in a fall election by campaigning on holding another referendum on independence.

Canada’s unity is in question, and if citizens in all parts of the country don’t address it in the next year, the secession of a province could become a reality.

Shaking and tearful, child brides are big business in Iraq

Ruweida, a bridal make-up artist in Sadr City, says her clients this year were “almost entirely children”

Dozens of baby-faced schoolgirls drift through worn, neon-lit shops on “bridal boulevard” in Baghdad’s Sadr City wearing black abayas soon to be traded for puffball wedding gowns picked by their mothers.

Among them is 12-year-old Amani*, who is due to meet her 17-year-old fiancé for the first time on their wedding night — a betrothal arranged, according to relatives, “without the need for her permission” because, despite her tiny, shaking frame engulfed in an adult-sized tulle gown, she has reached puberty and her marriage was approved by a local cleric.

Cocaine-carrying migrants were destroying this Arizona ranch. Then Trump stopped the crossings

Sue Chilton was home alone last year when a group of four migrants with sinister face tattoos appeared on her doorstep.

Recognising the markings, the diminutive 83-year-old refused to let them into the house but put together a picnic for them to eat outside. “Sue hosted MS-13 for lunch,” howled Jim, her husband, referring to the brutal Salvadorian gang.

The Chiltons are fifth-generation ranchers who have farmed cattle on the Tucson sector of the Arizona border for nearly four decades. But their 50,000 acre ranch fell prey to the Mexican cartels, who exploited the undulating scrubland and a five-mile gap in the border wall that Mrs Chilton refers to as “the door”, to traffic migrants and drugs into the country.

Standardized testing is vital to the education system

Provincial student assessment is approaching a moment of reckoning. Canada’s flagship agency, the Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), is now under review. Thirty years after its creation, Education Minister Paul Calandra announced a fresh review of the independent student testing agency earlier this month, triggered by another round of disappointing provincial test results. It’s time to bolster EQAO and encourage other provinces to build upon the lessons.

I get the impression that education in Ontario’s urban centres has progressed to the don’t offend the Muslims stage.

Test them on flat earth theory. Surprise us all.
