Canada is experiencing a quiet but unmistakable crisis of legitimacy, and the numbers prove it.
New data from the Statistics Canada Canadian Social Survey for the fourth quarter of 2024 shows what many Canadians already feel in their gut: confidence in the country’s most powerful institutions is eroding fast. And nowhere is that collapse more obvious than in Federal Parliament and the Canadian media.

President Trump has said the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is looking to flee the country as protests against his rule continue to spread.
Thousands of Iranians took to the streets on Friday night during an internet blackout by the authorities as what started as anger over the collapsing economy escalated into the most significant wave of dissent against the Islamic regime since demonstrations over disputed elections in 2009.
Lebanese media say Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Beirut was not merely ceremonial, as he arrived accompanied by his family.
Those traveling with him included his wife Arezoo Ahmadfand, his daughter Sadat, and his sons Seyed Hossein and Seyed Reza.

Lawyers and financial planners across the country are fielding more calls from Canadians asking what it would take to leave the country. But while interest in emigrating appears to be rising, many of those inquiries never turn into an actual move.
Rahul Sharma, a partner at law firm Fasken, describes many would-be emigrants as “tire kickers.” They’re typically wealthy Canadians over the age of 50 who explore their options, imagine a different lifestyle and shop around for a new country, only to stay put in Canada once they confront the true costs and legal complexity of leaving.

Maintaining the famine narrative by confiscating humanitarian aid, starving the Gaza population, and staging emotional photographs is Hamas’s deceptive war strategy to vilify Israel.
One of the most powerful weapons Hamas has wielded against Israel over the past two years is not used on the battlefield, but propagated through the media.
Not standing a chance in combat against the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), Hamas’s most effective war strategy has been the global propagation of false narratives that accuse Israel of war crime violations, such as genocide and famine. These allegations work to delegitimize the IDF’s presence in Gaza and distract the world from Hamas’s atrocities.

The media runs their lies and hides the real story.This is complicity – not journalism.

WASHINGTON — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened Friday to yank $73 million in federal highway funding meant for New York after an audit found more than half of the Empire State’s commercial trucking licenses were issued to foreign-born drivers in the US illegally.
Duffy issued the warning after the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reviewed all non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued by the New York Department of Motor Vehicles and found a 53% failure rate.
Anyone injured in a truck crash will or should be suing if the driver is proven to be an illegal alien.

Yao Zhang says she doesn’t have any friends, yet every week, thousands of her 175,000 YouTube subscribers tune in to her channel to listen to her live takes on Chinese current affairs.
“China isn’t a democratic country. Everyone suffers in that regime,” Zhang told Radio-Canada during an interview held somewhere between Montreal and Quebec City.
