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.

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

US Carrier Group – Strait of Hormuz

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.

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.

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.
