Five years ago – before cancer, before Oprah, before becoming King – the then Prince Charles spoke of his hopes of being a “peacemaker”.
“I have spent much of my life trying to bring people together,” he said. “I try.”
After an extraordinary row at the White House, now, finally, is his chance to broker peace on a global scale and, in doing so, cement his legacy as King Charles III
U.S. President Donald Trump says 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs, with a lower 10 per cent levy on Canadian energy, will start Tuesday.

I blame Trudeau. He has provoked Trump and gullible Canadians believed he was acting as a “patriot” when in fact he hoped to bolster LPC fortunes.
The mass shooter who murdered seven people at a July 4 parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park pleaded guilty to the killings on Monday.
Robert Crimo, 23, withdrew his earlier not-guilty plea in a Lake County circuit courtroom; he admitted to killing seven people and injuring dozens more when he opened fire on a 2022 Independence Day parade in the Chicago suburb.
It was a stunning development moments before opening arguments in his trial on charges of murder and attempted murder.
With campaign volunteer numbers declining in each successive election and the next election fast approaching, some Conservative and Liberal candidates and MPs are currently in the process of hiring paid canvassers.
“It’s been proven time and time again…,” reads one recruitment email sent out recently to potential paid election canvassers by political strategy firm Right Recruiter, which is owned by veteran Conservative insider Steve Outhouse. “Knocking on doors and speaking to voters face to face wins campaigns. That’s why, with the federal election just around the corner, we are in need of committed campaigners to help support Conservative candidates!”
Here’s your hat and what’s your hurry?

U.S. President Donald Trump has a talent for stirring the pot, and he’s done so in two countries with repeated suggestions that Canada should become the 51st American state. Of course, making Canada one state is hardly fair — each province should get its own star on the flag if we’re going to move in that direction. But there’s no good reason to go down that path at all, given most Canadians’ rejection of the idea, and the havoc it would play with the fraught political balance in the United States. Besides, it’s likely that both Canada and the U.S are too big and too centralized as it is.
KYIV, Ukraine — WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday for suggesting that the end of Russia’s war against Ukraine is still likely “very, very far away.”
“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
BREAKING: President Trump just went NUCLEAR on Zelensky and Europe on Truth Social.
“This guy doesn’t want Peace and America will NOT put up with it for much longer!”

Stephen Harper is lashing out at Mark Carney saying the Liberal leadership hopeful is taking credit for work he didn’t do. In a fundraising letter to Conservative Party members, Harper writes that Carney’s “experience” isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
Swedish police are investigating a suspected sabotage incident on a water pump on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea.
Police told the BBC that the local government’s water unit received an alarm for a water pump on Sunday at 17:30 local time (16:30 GMT).
“Technicians found that someone has opened an electrical cabinet, pulled out a cable and thereby cut off the power to the pump,” police said. The technician put the cable back and reset the alarm at 21:30 local time, and the pump is now working.

Municipalities, rights groups concerned about Quebec bill on integrating immigrants
MONTREAL — Quebec municipalities and human rights groups are voicing concerns about proposed legislation that would require newcomers to abide by a set of common values.
They say the new bill on cultural integration could foster anti-immigrant sentiment and impose a heavy administrative burden on communities.
The bill, tabled in January by Quebec’s right-leaning Coalition Avenir Québec government, would have immigrants adhere to shared values including gender equality, secularism and protection of the French language. The legislation is the latest in a series of bills that aim to reinforce Quebec identity, following the province’s secularism law and its overhaul of the language law.
Donald Trump could cut off the taps to Ukraine as he discusses cancelling military aid to the war-torn country during a meeting with his key advisers.
The president will meet with senior advisers, including Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, to consider a range of options, including cancelling aid that has already been approved and funded by the Biden administration, the New York Times reported.
The meeting follows a shouting match between Volodymyr Zelensky and Mr Trump in the Oval Office on Friday.

As Donald Trump has raged, Canada has reacted.
In December, the federal government pledged an additional $1.3-billion to combat fentanyl trafficking, with increased border security measures that include drones, Black Hawk helicopters and mobile surveillance towers.
In February, Ottawa appointed its first ever “fentanyl czar,” longtime senior Mountie Kevin Brosseau, to oversee our fight against the deadly synthetic opioid.
If so he’s done something that will make junior’s Beijing bosses happy.
They must need mops to clean up the mouth froth from the floor at the Star.
Anybody who watched the entire Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky would know that it was not an “ambush” or a “setup” by Trump, as characterized by Democrats and malign media entities.
It was the opposite. If anyone came to that meeting in bad faith, it was clearly Zelensky, whose body language and attitude was negative from the start. Trump could not have been more cordial, having steered the complex negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to a first step where he believed peace was a real possibility.

Did Zelensky already have a deal with Starmer for Ukraine’s minerals?
You are saying Zelensky had already signed 100 year deal with Starmer for minerals before going to Washington to sign the same deal with Trump and the USA. This is would be why he was being so cagey with American representatives abt the agreement.
It was a set up on the UK EU… pic.twitter.com/Hjs0lzfc5V— David Krayden (@DavidKrayden) March 3, 2025
There is a battle of two narratives – one, false, that Donald J. Trump set up Zelenskyy for the confrontation and we should be outraged. The other, true, that Zelenskyy, the UK and EU were playing the US because the British had already signed a deal that provided Ukraine…
