We’ve just heard from US President Donald Trump, who has called Nato allies “cowards” and said it would be “easy” for them to allow ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Algorithmic pricing is being used in Canada. Why many want it banned
Most Canadians want the government to ban or regulate algorithmic pricing, a new poll suggests — with half of respondents saying the practice is unfair because it can result in people paying different prices for the same product.
The Abacus Data poll, which was conducted online and can’t be assigned a margin of error, polled 1,931 Canadians on algorithmic pricing.
Our elites are hard at work.
They import cheap labour to depress wages and raise the price of everything.
Now with algorithmic pricing they have a modernized stealth version of the “Company Store”.
They won’t clean up the homeless camps because they want you to know that’s where you’ll end up if you make a fuss.
Welcome to the New Canada.

The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear a challenge against the Liberal government’s ban on around 2,500 types of what it calls “assault-style” firearms.

This American woman defected to Iran. She could be the regime’s secret weapon
Monica Witt was a decorated US veteran with access to top secret information. Now she could do ‘damage to the US’, experts and former classmates tell The Times
Monica Witt was 34 and a former counterintelligence officer for the US air force when her Iranian visa finally came through. She celebrated the moment that had been months in the making.
“I’m signing off and heading out! Coming home,” the Texan wrote in a message to her handler in Tehran on August 28, 2013, alongside a smiley face emoji.
Witt had been groomed, recruited and finally turned into a spy by agents linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

‘Chicken Nuggets’ Case: Yet Another Migration Embarrassment for Starmer
The surreal case of an Albanian criminal who tried to dodge removal from the UK in part by claiming his son disliked foreign chicken nuggets—yes, really—reached its inevitable conclusion this week, when he won the right to stay in Britain.
Klevis Disha entered the country illegally under a false name, lied in his asylum claim, and was later jailed for two years after being caught with £250,000, known to be proceeds of crime.
WTF?
Amazing. Why didn't I learn about him in school? @fancypants_s https://t.co/0uxZtSMYbI

U.S. War Planes and Helicopters Kick Off Battle to Reopen Hormuz
The U.S. and its allies have intensified the battle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, sending low-flying attack jets over the sea lanes to blast Iranian naval vessels and Apache helicopters to shoot down Iran’s deadly drones, American military officials said.
The stepped-up operation is part of a multistage Pentagon plan to reduce the danger from Iranian armed boats, mines and cruise missiles, which have halted ship traffic through the waterway since early March. If the danger can be reduced, the U.S. could send U.S. warships through the strait and eventually escort vessels in and out of the Persian Gulf.

Queen’s Park statues getting wrapped to prevent vandalism at upcoming protest
A year after protective hoarding was removed from the Ontario legislature’s statue of Sir John A. Macdonald, all monuments on the grounds are going under wraps to protect them from damage.
The move comes as MPPs return to Queen’s Park Monday for their spring session in the wake of a heated protest March 4 against Premier Doug Ford’s student financial aid cuts that saw a monument to Sir George Brown marred with graffiti.
WTF?
