Had better not be.

We surveyed Canadians on the top three fixes for the country’s ailing economy. Respondents unanimously agreed: pipelines, pipelines, and pipelines. Okay, we didn’t actually run a survey, but any sensible Canadian knows what the real answer to our economic woes is — even those who carry a carbon footprint like an albatross around their neck. And even, it now appears, Quebecers.
We are tired of being broke, and at (trade) war with the vastly superior economy of the U.S. We want to unleash our oil and gas potential.
An Indigenous tribe from the Brazilian Amazon has sued the New York Times, saying the newspaper’s reporting on the tribe’s first exposure to the internet led to its members being widely portrayed as technology-addled and addicted to pornography.
The Marubo tribe of the remote Javari valley, a community of about 2,000 people, filed the defamation lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages this week in a court in Los Angeles.
It also names TMZ and Yahoo as defendants, alleging that their stories amplified and sensationalized the Times’s reporting and smeared the tribe in the process.
For a country that looks so big on the map, it’s awfully hard to get houses built in Canada these days. But this is all by design: in “Canada’s Million-Dollar Housing Crisis, homes are treated as an investment vehicle rather than a place to live. Dealing with one of the worst shortages in the developed world, Canada’s voters in the recent election were not concerned just about Trump but about who could save the middle-class dream.
As Canadians greeted the announcement of Mark Carney’s cabinet, the expectation was that of far-reaching change. But a day after being sworn in, Canada’s new housing minister, Gregor Robertson, put an end to those hopes. Robertson, the ex-mayor of Vancouver — which saw one of the most severe localised housing crises — said home prices should not go down. Has his boss’s campaign pledge already been turned to dust?

The number of terrorism charges laid in Canada jumped 488 per cent last year amid rising youth radicalization, the RCMP wrote to the public safety minister.
The RCMP’s ministerial briefing binder, posted on a government website this week, said violent extremism remained “a prominent national security threat.”
“Canadian police have foiled six terrorist plots in the last 12 months alone, with arrests spanning from Edmonton to Ottawa to Toronto,” the briefing said.
Former French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s proposal to ban the wearing of headscarves for girls under the age of 15 is causing a stir within the presidential camp. The centrist party is caught between its desire to show firmness and moral pressure from the Left, which is denouncing what they view as a resurgence of Islamophobia.
The government and Emmanuel Macron’s entourage have been at loggerheads since the publication of an explosive report on the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in France. While a consensus is beginning to emerge on the findings, the suggested solutions are sowing discord.
“This is a big deal for the King to do this,” says Jeremy Kinsman, former Canadian high commissioner to the UK, as King Charles prepares for a historic visit showing support for Canada, which is facing pressure from US President Donald Trump.
“I hope that Trump understands,” says Mr Kinsman, ahead of the King becoming the first monarch to open Canada’s Parliament in almost 70 years.
So what can we expect from his speech as Canada’s head of state, to be delivered in French and English in Ottawa on Tuesday?
I don’t think Woke King Charlie is the flex they imagine.
The burning man died far from the front line. He was 55 years old and had two daughters. He sat back in the driver’s seat of his incinerated car, beyond help, the driver’s door open, smoke drifting off his body.
The main street in Kostiantynivka was deserted. No one wanted to linger, in case they should also be hunted down and similarly slain by a Russian FPV (first person view) drone. So the dead man burned unattended in his car outside the town hall, a scatter of drone fragments and rubble shards around him.
The federal government is pushing for more energy development across the country, but emphasizes that the work on the projects must be done with all proper consultation.
Canada’s Minister of Energy Tim Hodgson made the remarks during a conference at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce on Friday.
“Today we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. Global economies and markets are volatile. President Trump’s tariffs are disrupting trade, threatening Canadian jobs and industries and rewriting the rules of the game,” Hodgson said.
Smells like Bullshit to me.
A Jewish protester was arrested by the Met Police after he briefly held a placard satirising a Hezbollah terrorist leader, The Telegraph can reveal.
The British man, who has asked to remain anonymous for his safety, was detained and charged last September over a cartoon which showed Hasan Nasrallah, the Lebanese terror chief, with a pager and the words “beep, beep, beep”.
The placard satirised a targeted Israeli attack, dubbed Operation Grim Beeper, in which explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies killed 42 people, mostly Hezbollah terrorists. Nasrallah survived but was killed in an airstrike a week later.
