Easter has long been one of the last holidays where tradition still dictated what landed on the dinner table. Lamb for many. Ham for most. Turkey, occasionally. But in 2026, something has shifted — and not subtly. This year, the Easter menu is being decided less by culture and more by cost.

Trump tells the UK and other countries ‘go get your own oil’ from Strait of Hormuz
US President Donald Trump says countries “like the United Kingdom” who can’t get jet fuel because of the restrictions around the Strait of Hormuz should “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT”.
Carney will need to get ahead of the looming economic crisis to stay in power
By now, it’s clear that no matter what kind of resolution U.S. President Donald Trump attempts to impose on his latest misadventure in Iran, this conflict and its global repercussions will be far from over.
More likely, it will resemble George W. Bush’s infamous “mission accomplished” moment aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003: a premature declaration of victory that gave way to years of prolonged conflict, with consequences that are still unfolding today.
Whatever branding Trump chooses, it won’t stick.
But the economic consequences will.
Spain closes airspace to US military over Iran war, widening rift with US
Spain has ramped up its opposition to the US-Israel war on Iran by closing its airspace to US aircraft involved in attacks, underlining its position as Europe’s leading critic of the conflict.
The move, first reported by El País newspaper and confirmed by the defence minister on Monday, comes after Madrid said the US could not use jointly operated military bases in the country for operations related to the war.
‘She didn’t know what she was doing’: Ontario senior with dementia charged by OPP after assault
The family of a 93-year-old Ontario woman with severe dementia who was arrested and charged after an altercation with her elderly husband is asking for police to use more discretion when it comes to dementia cases.
Evelyn Patton shouldn’t have been charged with assault in December despite the Ontario Provincial Police’s mandatory charging rules in cases of intimate partner violence because she was in a delirium and didn’t have the mental state to commit a crime, said her daughter Shelley Hodgkinson.

Antifa Attacks Portugal’s March for Life
On March 21st, Portugal hosted its March for Life. Organised by Catholic groups with the support of Pope Leo XVI, thousands marched through the streets of Lisbon and Porto against abortion and euthanasia.
Such marches have taken place before, but, as the years go by and parties like Chega incrementally grow, so do the numbers of participants.
Parks Canada targets historic Saskatchewan homestead for revisionist history
A historic prairie homestead once dedicated to celebrating 19th-century settlement is now being recast to emphasize “inequities on the Prairies,” including the treatment of indigenous people, according to a new federal management plan tabled in Parliament.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the plan for the Motherwell National Historic Site calls for a shift away from its traditional focus on European homesteaders toward what Parks Canada describes as “diverse storytelling” and expanded narratives.

WTF?
First it was Black Mirror, now it’s just Monday in Atlanta.
A company called Undaunted raised nearly $1M this February to flood Atlanta with these "pack" patrols.
They are called private security "packs" and now patrol ATL streets.

This was a dog day afternoon in Oshawa for five alleged jewel thieves who ended up wearing the collar and being put on a leash!
Let’s just say, this Durham Region cop helped take a bite out of crime on Sunday — and collar some suspected thieves too.

The Latest ‘No Kings’ Protest Is The Sound Of A Tired Old Thing Trying To Not Die
The American political left as a cultural formation, and the Democratic Party as an institution, have sunk into a style of oppositionalism that contains no opposition. They speak in a vernacular of protest because they speak in a vernacular of protest, out of habit and as a cultural identity, but they have no idea what they’re protesting. They’re very angry about the, you know, stuff. Something something Trump something something.
CARPAY: Ottawa froze protesters’ bank accounts — now Ottawa wants your phone records
Like many expansions of government power, Bill C-22 (dubbed the Lawful Access Act) arrives dressed in reassuring bureaucratic language. It speaks soothingly about “facilitating access” to “basic information” and “modernizing” certain provisions respecting the timely gathering of data. In reality, this legislation represents a significant step toward building the machinery of a surveillance state in Canada.
Britain’s Islamo-left is on the march
‘Love, unity, hope.’ That was the cringe, Hallmark-card message of yesterday’s ‘march against the far right’ in London, organised by the Together Alliance – a coalition of trade unions, hysterical left-wingers and dense celebrities who have memed themselves into believing that the right-populist Reform UK is a ‘far-right party’.
