After decades spent pursuing net zero dreams at great cost to their economies, many of the world’s industrialized nations are waking up. War, geopolitical instability, and the threat of disrupted oil and natural gas supplies have refocused attention on energy security. More and more governments are adjusting accordingly.
The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) over its “use of paid informants” to infiltrate non-violent conservative-leaning organizations it deems to be “extremist.”
The Associated Press (AP) disclosed the explosive development on Tuesday, when it reported comments from the leftist group’s leadership indicating that “it’s the subject of a criminal investigation” by federal officials.
Update: Awesome news!
🚨 BREAKING: Acting AG Blanche and FBI Director Patel announce a grand jury has INDICTED leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 COUNTS
This is MASSIVE!

OTTAWA — A former Central Intelligence Agency analyst whose Washington think tank documented a swarm of Chinese Communist Party-linked community organizations across Western democracies — and identified Canada as the most heavily penetrated per capita — told Parliament that a sitting Canadian senator’s effort to discredit the research amounted to “a kind of laziness,” after that senator’s own newly founded advocacy group was identified by the same researchers as the 576th United Front-linked organization in Canada.
AUSTRALIA’S government was the first to introduce a ban on under-age use of social media platforms. Though the ban, introduced in December for under-16s, likely had some positive effects, many teenagers had little difficulty outwitting the systems designed to lock them out.
The whole saga should serve as a warning to other governments of the folly of attempting to micro-manage children’s access to a widely accessible communications technology. Governments need to take a step back and ask themselves how they can support, rather than supplant, the supervisory role of parents.
An ISIS recruiter who is being released from prison remains radicalized and poses a danger to the public, according to a Parole Board of Canada decision.
The ruling obtained by Global News said that while Ashton Larmond was now eligible for statutory release, special conditions were needed to protect public safety.
Larmond was arrested during a 2015 RCMP counterterrorism operation. He has now served two-thirds of his sentence and therefore must be released from custody.
Walking through central London as part of the Free Iran protest movement a couple of Sundays ago, I kept noticing the faces of bystanders. There was certainly very little in the way of support. But equally, open hostility wasn’t the predominant response either. Many of the expressions were marked by something harder to discern – a kind of consternation, an ill-disposed bemusement, as though what was in front of them couldn’t quite be metabolised, not without a certain level of discomfort anyway.
As the Liberals prepare to table their economic update next week, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s banker buddies are stepping in to defend his government’s high-spending ways.
Speaking to Bloomberg News last week, Nigel Chalk, director of the International Monetary Fund’s Western Hemisphere department, said that among the G7 economies, “Canada’s probably in the strongest position fiscally,” and lauded the Carney government’s “very strong focus on the debt path.”
Lena Dunham, one of New York City’s worst exports, is back with a new memoir — and the media is treating her like a returning hero.
Trust me: Dunham is particularly, specifically awful.
She is unwell. She tells us in so many ways in Famesick, the book she’s currently promoting on podcasts, TV, in magazines and newspapers, and on a book tour, which she conducts while reclining on stage — in bed.
Dunham has, by all accounts, eaten herself into morbid obesity before age 40, yet is considered by The New York Times and others to be a generational oracle, a font of insight, an artist for the ages.
I forgot how truly awful she is.
During recent Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage hearings about the state of media in Canada, witnesses and outlets pointed to two urgent realities reshaping the sector: government-funded journalists embedded in conventional newsrooms and the rapid rise of independent outlets. Sheila Gunn-Reid’s testimony for Rebel News crystallized the debate when she warned these developments have produced a “two‑tiered media system,” a split between outlets that rely on public handouts and those that do not.
Nigerian man was arrested for setting fire to and eating a stray cat in Sarzana, Italy, last week.
Italian news sites reported on the incident, including the English version of LaMilano.it. However, interestingly, the article on the site about the incident is now blocked. A different site, Jen.jiji.com, has republished a verbatim copy. The local news site La Gazetta della Spezia has also covered the story.

Was the timing of Mark Carney’s feel-good “fireside chat” video released Sunday mere coincidence, landing as it did the day before concerning inflation numbers?
Or was it a deliberate calculation to point out that Canadian fur traders were all over the northern plains before the Americans had left St. Louis, a day ahead of confirmation that consumers are now paying $2.50 for a single bloody cucumber?
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the elite branch of the Iranian armed forces, has blocked President Masoud Pezeshkian’s presidential appointments and erected what sources described as a security cordon around Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, a report published Tuesday by Iran International said.
The IRGC effectively has assumed control over key state functions, the report claimed.

Well, the Iranian case is up for debate, but there’s no question your commander in chief effected “regime change” here in Canada. After last week’s special elections, Mark Carney, the prime minister whose elevation Donald Trump helped bring about, has at last secured a parliamentary majority for Canada’s Liberal Party.
But, as observers are keen to note, there is never a guarantee the leader you don’t like will be replaced by someone less problematic.

We’re the one’s who will regret it not Trump, not Carney.
