As Carney Travels the Globe for New Alliances, He Looks Away on Human Rights
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.
The Iranian regime might survive but the West might disappear
“It can happen that a civilization disappears; it wouldn’t be the first time. Civilizations disappear-it is the norm. Our successors will arrive at an indefinite moment; we don’t know when. And it may be that the civilization will have already vanished. The collapse can occur violently or slowly”.
So speaks Michel Houellebecq to the German newspaper Die Welt this week. It seems “the successors” are arriving on horseback.
Crown stays charges against self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Canada’ Romana Didulo
Crown prosecutors have stayed the charges against a cult leader whose group occupied a former school in a southwest Saskatchewan village.
Romana Didulo was set to appear in Swift Current provincial court on Wednesday.
Didulo, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada,” was charged with failing to comply with an undertaking and intimidating a justice system participant.
Iran’s ‘Doomsday Clock’ Against Israel No Longer Ticking But Guess Who Is Waiting in the Wings
Tehran’s infamous “doomsday clock” was designed to count down to the annihilation of Israel in the year 2040. Instead, it appears finally to have ceased operating at the 2026 mark, along with many leaders of Iran’s extremist Islamic regime.
The irony of Iran’s rout by its two most-hated enemies — the “Great Satan” United States and the “Little Satan” Israel — must be seismic in Iran’s major centers, where much of the civilian population openly celebrates, not the end of Israel as intended by Shia clerics, but, instead, the hoped-for final days of an apparently much-hated regime.
Conrad Black: The Hormuz Strait Threat Won’t Derail US Strategy in Iran War
As is the norm when political events in uncivilized places become violent, stock and related commodity prices become volatile and usually overreact. This has certainly occurred with oil prices responding to developments in the Iran war. The U.S. administration has already waived the Jones Act to facilitate the delivery of foreign oil in foreign ships to U.S. ports and announced increased supply from the Naval oil reserve.
The United States is now an energy self-sufficient country, so concerns within the United States itself about the oil price are unfounded. The current spike in California is entirely the responsibility of successive state governments conducting an unholy war on the oil industry that has caused a drastic reduction of California’s oil refining capacity. However, even California will not long be troubled by this burden.
Robot Goes Berserk in California Restaurant, Dragged Away by Staff After Smashing Tableware
Humanoid robots are rapidly gaining hype, from battlefields to the factory floor.
But there are clear growing pains when it comes to sharing spaces with our new automaton friends. Just this month, a video circulated online showing a robot being escorted away by cops after startling an old lady.
BELL: Calgary school gets an F for fumbling Ramadan no-food spaces
This is one column where it’s not good enough just reading the headline.
This whodunit should be followed right to the end.
This piece is apologist nonsense.
No sharia at all anywhere, anytime in Canada.
NASA’s Artemis moon mission is flirting with disaster
Back to the moon — sort of.
Next month, as soon as April 1, NASA will launch its Artemis II mission, officials announced last week, and carry four astronauts into orbit around the moon.
At one level, that isn’t very impressive: Artemis is just replicating the Apollo 8 circumlunar mission, almost 60 years later.
B.C. premier signals he won’t support feds’ expansion of temporary foreign worker scam
B.C. Premier David Eby has signalled he won’t support the federal government’s move to temporarily increase rural employers’ allowances for temporary foreign workers, saying there should be a pathway to permanent residency instead.
It comes after an event Monday on the Sunshine Coast where the local MP re-announced a move to allow rural employers to have up to 15 per cent of their workforce be low-wage temporary foreign workers (TFW).
The new foreign workers cap is up from the current cap of 10 per cent, and would allow for eligible workers to get an automatic one-year extension on their work permits.
Send them back. Send the politicians who support this assault on our economic and social security back with them.
Nolte: Oscar Ratings Plummet to 17.9 Million – Third Worst in History
Only twice before in recorded history have the Oscars attracted fewer viewers. In 2021, only 10.4 million tuned in. Then in 2022, only 16.6 million tuned in.
On Sunday, only 17.9 million tuned in.
SIMS: Ratings and spending show why CBC should be defunded
The CBC is a huge waste of money. Nearly nobody is watching it and journalists should not be paid by the government.
With former employees testifying before a Parliament Hill committee, it’s easy to get lost in the drama.
Trump says he might destroy Iran’s leadership and let other countries deal with Strait of Hormuz
President Trump said Wednesday the U.S. might finish off the Iranian regime and let countries that rely on the Strait of Hormuz as an oil-shipping channel deal with its security.
Mr. Trump mused about the possibility while he urged other nations to help clear Iran’s blockade of the waterway, which carries 20% of the world’s oil supply.
“I wonder what would happen if we ‘finished off’ what’s left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the Countries that use it, we don’t, be responsible for the so called ‘Straight?’ That would get some of our non-responsive ‘Allies’ in gear, and fast!!!” he posted on Truth Social.
That’ll get their attention.
Doug Ford praises homeowner who shot man during home invasion: ‘These guys, they need to be shot’
Premier Doug Ford has applauded the Vaughan homeowner who shot one of four masked intruders breaking into his home early Tuesday morning, saying more people need to defend themselves with guns.
“Congratulations for shooting this guy — should have shot him a couple more times, as far as I’m concerned,” said Ford, responding to a reporter’s question Wednesday during an appearance in Kenilworth, in southwestern Ontario.
“These guys, they need to be shot,” he said.
Uncertainty remains, after 19 days of war in Iran
Four years and 24 days. Nineteen days. There’s a huge difference between those two numbers. The first numbers — 1,485 days altogether — is the length of time since Russian troops crossed the Ukraine border on Feb. 22, 2022, and headed for Kyiv. The second number — just 19 days — is the number of days since U.S. and Israeli forces on Feb. 28 began bombing strategic targets in Iran.
The two attacks have this in common: their initial responses were far different from what many experts, in the United States and beyond, expected and predicted.
