TAMPA/MONTREAL — Almost two years after Canadian federal police raided two synthetic opioid labs in Quebec and seized millions of deadly pills, a 49-year-old Montreal-area man has been indicted on charges of importing a narcotic three times more lethal than fentanyl into the United States — a case that connects, through prior federal filings, to a Chinese fentanyl precursor supplier and Mexican cartel-linked trafficking network operating out of Vancouver.
Democrats excel at warping the English language, making it say things it was never intended to say. There is “American gun culture,” which amounts to our unalienable, express Second Amendment rights. There are “assault weapons,” a term that exists nowhere in firearm nomenclature, but which in Virginia includes break action, single shot .410 shotguns. And there is “Ultra MAGA,” which is Normal Americans who apparently really want America to be great, prosperous and secure—the horror.
The European liberal political family is urging EU leaders to form a pact with Japan, Canada, and South Korea to deter U.S. President Donald Trump and China from exerting undue pressure on trade partners, according to a paper seen by POLITICO.
In what is dubbed a “Geoeconomic Deterrence Pact” addressed to EU leaders ahead of a summit in Brussels on Thursday, the liberal Renew Europe group in the European Parliament asks the Commission “to identify and negotiate joint export control agreements” by the end of 2026. The paper will be published late Wednesday and sent to EU leaders.
The “special relationship” between Britain and America is currently on life support. US President Donald Trump is furious with the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, for refusing to join the US and Israel in the war against Iran.
He is furious with others in the west too for similarly refusing even to help defend the Straits of Hormuz, the “chokehold” waterway which the Iranian regime is currently threatening to attack. As a result, traffic through the Straits has dwindled to a handful of tankers and the price of oil has soared.
As Trump has pointed out, the refusal of Britain, Europe and others to help defend the Straits is particularly egregious since they are vastly more dependent on the oil coming through there than is America.
In the span of just three days, Barbara Perry, director of the government-funded Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism, appeared in two major media pieces. On March 12, she gave a lengthy interview warning of a “fairly high threat level” driven almost exclusively by right-wing extremism and “Active Clubs.” On March 15, CBC Saskatchewan ran a 48-minute segment titled “Have you noticed a rise in anti-immigrant and anti-semitic sentiment?” that again spotlighted Perry alongside reporter Eric Szeto and Canadian Race Relations Foundation CEO Muhammad Hashim.

The White House has registered the domain ‘aliens.gov,’ sparking fresh speculation that President Donald Trump’s long-awaited UFO disclosure may be imminent.
The domain, linked to the Executive Office of the President, was flagged on Wednesday by an automated tracker of federal websites.
However, it is also listed in the government’s official .gov registry maintained by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Ottawa wants to modernize a region in the north that’s about six times the size of Texas, ‘just like in the 1800s’
Picture an Arctic territory, marginalized by its own country, almost entirely lacking roads, ports and power sources, but rich in mining potential and suddenly feeling vulnerable to outside threats.
It’s not Greenland; it’s the Canadian Arctic.
After decades of underinvestment, Ottawa is now turning its attention to the country’s north amid an outbreak of nationalism and new spending, in reaction to provocations by the Trump administration.
Ana Murguia remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office.
He locked the door, as he always did when he called her, and told her how lonely he had been. He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. “Don’t tell anyone,” he told her afterward. “They’d get jealous.”
The man, Cesar Chavez, one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement, was 45. She was 13. Ms. Murguia said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.
Calgarians brought 215 pairs of children’s shoes to the steps of Calgary’s municipal building after First Nation Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc announced, in May 2021, ground-penetrating radar had detected 215 graves on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in Kamloops, BC.
The radar survey was conducted by anthropologist Sarah Beaulieu, who said at the time ground penetrating radar detects soil disturbances, not bodies.
Not worried enough yet by the government’s new definition of ‘anti-Muslim hostility’? Here’s another red flag: the mild, nuanced, or downright supportive responses it’s received from some of the worst people in Britain.
In the week or so since the definition was published, I’ve been tracking reactions across British Islam’s vast cosmos of professional offence-takers and grievance-mongers – sorry, diverse’n’vibrant civil society groups.
The U.S. has begun forced labour probes into 60 economies that critics say are a ‘show trial’ that will allow Trump to slap new tariffs on trading partners such as Canada
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Trade watchers say they are shocked at the latest tactic being used by the U.S. Trump administration to shore up its tariff wall against Canada after a legal setback last month.
Last week, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) launched investigations into 60 economies under Section 301(b) of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 to determine whether they have failed to impose or enforce bans on imports produced with forced labour. But critics in the Washington beltway say the 301 probes are basically a “show trial” and that the verdict is sure to go against trading partners such as Canada.
Ouch!

Former Bill Clinton has faced scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in recent weeks, as he testified on his ties to Epstein in a deposition before members of the House in late February.
But perhaps his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell should be drawing just as much — if not more — attention.

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada became a diplomatic celebrity after delivering an electrifying speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, declaring that President Trump had permanently ruptured the rules-based world order.
He told the leaders to put their nations’ interests first, not placate Mr. Trump and form new alliances.
Mr. Carney has crisscrossed the globe — this year he has already circled the world twice — seeking to heed his own message by forging relationships with countries that will make Canada far less dependent on the United States.
