Michael Ma is saying he was misunderstood, but you shouldn’t believe him. The Conservative MP who crossed the floor and joined the Liberals last December has not only had a change of heart politically, but he also now appears to be speaking up for China.
If President Trump gives the go-ahead, the U.S. could soon have more than 17,000 ground troops on Iran’s doorstep. That is far short of what would be needed for a full-scale invasion, but they could seize strategic territory on the mainland, secure Tehran’s uranium stockpiles or take an island.
The Pentagon is considering sending another 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East, even as Trump weighs peace talks with Tehran, The Wall Street Journal has reported. That would add to roughly 5,000 Marines and 2,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division already ordered to the region. The additional troops would likely include infantry, armored vehicles and logistics support.

Tourist towns ‘desperate’ for workers in Alberta
Canada’s tourism industry is struggling to find workers as employers face tighter rules on foreign labour and fewer Canadians stepping into the sector.
In Alberta’s mountain tourism hubs, those challenges are even more complex, with employers and job seekers pointing to a lack of affordable housing as a major barrier.
Just days after arriving in Banff, Gintare Dalmantaite is already looking for work.
If I see foreigners waiting tables and working in the kitchen my appetite is immediately suppressed and the risk makes my wallet snap shut.
An AI-generated video from the US embassy in Mexico encouraging migrants to “self-deport” has sparked disbelief and outrage online.
The video posted this week on official embassy social media accounts depicts a group of men wearing black caps and sporting tattoos performing a kind of traditional Mexican ballad known as a corrido.
“The corrido rings out loud in your homeland; return to your roots,” the AI performer sings. “You don’t need to go far to get ahead. Listen to what you say: Mexican power lies within you.”

Thousands of refugee claimants already in the system awaiting a hearing will have their asylum claims terminated under new eligibility criteria that are applied retroactively in a law that has just taken effect.
Under the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, which received royal assent Thursday night, anyone who first arrived in Canada after June 24, 2020, will not be allowed to make a refugee claim after one year, regardless of whether they left the country and returned.
Those who have come to Canada after that date and made their claims since June 3, 2025 — when the proposed eligibility rule was initially announced — will have their claims cancelled.
What "taking back control of immigration" looks like: Under Bill C-3, anyone who can find a Canadian in their family tree is considered Canadian.

This is an admission that there are a whole bunch of asylum seekers/refugees who got into Canada on visitor visas they should have never received. Their status should be revoked. https://t.co/X5674RoZ0w

An asylum seeker who abducted and raped a 12-year-old girl has been given a 16-year sentence.
The attack by Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil last summer led to protests in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
Jurors last month found the 23-year-old guilty of rape, abduction, sexual assault and taking an indecent video.
For decades, economic slowdowns followed a predictable script in foodservice. As household budgets tightened, consumers traded down. Full-service restaurants suffered. Fast food thrived. Value, convenience and predictability made quick-service restaurants (QSRs) the natural refuge in uncertain times.
The skinny paratrooper from Arizona froze as he felt the ground depress beneath his booted foot. “Hey, I’m treading on something squishy,” he announced, a trace of alarm in his voice. His words had an instant effect on the 12 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne gathered around him.
“Don’t move!” they bellowed.
It was too late. In a moment of unwitting reflex, Sergeant Brandon Pilguy lifted his foot. Beneath it was a black PMN anti-personnel mine, its black cap just visible in the Afghan sands. Linked directly beneath the mine by a detonation cord dug into the soil, the Taliban had placed a 20lb Improvised Explosive Device (IED), made of homemade explosives laced with chunks of shrapnel. It did not explode.
On March 16, the renowned Study of the Canadian Consumer revealed that “Nearly half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque” and that “a growing number of Canadians say they’re barely staying afloat.”
Unfortunately, even though job markets and ‘life-chances’ have unequivocally collapsed and evaporated throughout all of Canada, it is evident that the degenerate state of the Canadian nation has expanded well beyond the looming outbreak of abject poverty.
A victim of the grooming gangs scandal has accused the government of “another betrayal” after it emerged that key evidence could have been destroyed caused by Home Office delays in ordering the retention of records.
The department has admitted that it took seven months to write to police forces and other agencies to formally request they preserve records relating to grooming gangs in their area.
Fiona Goddard, who was groomed and repeatedly raped by a gang of men of Pakistani heritage in Bradford from the age of 14, said the admission had further undermined trust with survivors.
When she was taken by ambulance to a Vancouver hospital with lower back pain the likes of which she’d never experienced, the last thing 84-year-old Miriam Lancaster said she was thinking of was “cashing my chips.”
A New Jersey man’s assassination plot to firebomb a prominent Palestinian activist’s home with Molotov cocktails was dramatically foiled Thursday after a months-long NYPD intelligence bureau probe, officials and sources said.
Federal agents raided Alexander Heifler’s home in Hoboken on Thursday after he allegedly schemed to attack Nerdeen Kiswani — the founder of the pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime — and flee to Israel, sources said.
Not surprised that someone chose to retaliate.
Canada does not have a diversity problem. It has a cohesion problem.
For the better part of a decade, the country was governed by an approach to identity that elevated difference, symbolism, and managed inclusion while treating any serious discussion of common culture with suspicion. Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada increasingly spoke of itself less as a nation with a shared inheritance and more as a platform for competing identities, grievances, and moral claims. The effect was not unity but drift. It weakened the language of citizenship and made the idea of a common national story seem faintly improper.

A senior Left Party politician in Berlin is now under criminal investigation over a widening rape cover-up scandal that has already rocked the capital.
Prosecutors have opened proceedings against Sarah Nagel, Neukölln’s youth councillor, on suspicion of obstruction of justice.
The probe follows earlier revelations that a state-run youth club in the district failed to report the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl—reportedly out of concern about “stigmatizing migrants.”
