The mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, spent St. Patrick’s Day morning talking about the supposed Palestinian genocide, as he hosted Ireland’s former President Mary Robinson for breakfast just days after a reporter stumped him with a question about the Irish liberation movement.

Canada knew ‘from the beginning’ CAF wouldn’t help attack Iran, too close to Pride Season to risk casualties: minister

Too close to Pride Season to risk casualties.

Defence Minister David McGuinty said Tuesday that Canada’s decision not to join the U.S. and Israel’s military attacks on Iran was clear “from the beginning” of the war more than two weeks ago, while underscoring that position is not going to change.

During a press event in Brampton, Ont., highlighting Canada’s military aid to Ukraine, McGuinty was asked about the resignation Tuesday of U.S. National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent, who said he “cannot in good conscience” back the Trump administration’s war because “Iran posed no imminent threat” to the U.S.

Official Ireland is embarrassed by St Patrick’s day

As the crowds thronged Main Street, a drunken brawl erupted, prompting a shocked TV newsreader to declare: ‘What you are seeing is a total disregard for the things St Patrick stood for. All this drinking, violence and destruction of property. Are these the things we think of when we think of the Irish?’

At the time, that episode was far more controversial with Irish Americans than people who actually lived in Ireland, who thought it was hilarious. But that was then and this is now – and the modern Irish tend to take themselves far more seriously.

John Ivison: Carney offers the NDP a revival, if it’s shrewd enough to take it

Lori Idlout’s first act as Liberal MP in the House of Commons, after crossing the floor from the NDP, was to vote against her new party in favour of an NDP motion calling for a stricter arms export control regime.

Prime Minister Mark Carney may have felt sympathy for Louis XIV’s maxim that every time he filled an office, he created a hundred malcontents and one ingrate — although, to be fair, Idlout was the one doing the favour by inching the Liberals closer to a parliamentary majority.

Cardinal Müller: Mass migration could make Europeans ‘marginalized in their own country’

Cardinal Gerhard Müller has blasted mass migration and stressed the right of nations to defend and preserve themselves and their distinct culture.

In an interview with the European Conservative, the former Prefect of the Congregation (now Dicastery) of the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) said that European citizens and Western nations need to “decide if they want to be marginalized in their own country,” given the radical demographic shifts occurring.

Study accuses Carney Liberals of ‘substantially’ worsening federal finances

Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to spend more and run deficits more than twice as large over the next five years compared to those planned by the previous Liberal government, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

As a result, Carney’s combined deficits are projected to total $321.7 billion from 2025-26 to 2029-30 — $167.3 billion higher than the $154.4 billion former prime minister Justin Trudeau was projected to spend during the same period, according to the report by the fiscally conservative think-tank.

Why Applying the ‘Venezuela Method’ to Iran Would Be a Terrible Mistake

The spectacular American military operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power earlier this year has inevitably inspired comparisons among strategists searching for solutions to the Iran crisis.

When Maduro was captured during a dramatic U.S. raid on January 3, 2026, it was widely seen as a striking demonstration of American resolve under President Donald J. Trump. Maduro’s removal loosened the Venezuelan dictatorship’s grip on power and triggered a rapid political recalibration in Caracas. Washington quickly secured commitments on oil production, financial transparency, and the partial restructuring of Venezuela’s state energy giant PDVSA. Oil production, which had collapsed from roughly 3.2 million barrels per day in 1998 to around 800,000 by late 2025 after decades of corruption and mismanagement, began a gradual recovery as U.S. energy companies moved to revive extraction in the Orinoco Belt, home to some of the world’s largest heavy-crude reserves.

BBC asks US court to throw out Trump’s $10bn lawsuit and avoid ‘chilling effect’

The BBC has asked a US court to throw out Donald Trump’s $10bn (£7.5bn) lawsuit over the way a documentary edited one of his speeches, warning that proceeding with the case would have a “chilling effect” on its reporting on the president.

In papers filed to the Florida court dealing with the case, the BBC’s US lawyers claimed Trump’s reputation had not been damaged by the documentary, given it aired in the UK a week before his re-election.

The broadcaster’s lawyers also reiterated that the Panorama documentary, Trump: a Second Chance, was simply not published in the US, including Florida, meaning the court had no jurisdiction to hear the case.

The fun and games of World Cup soccer and city spending

Once the fun and games of World Cup Soccer are over in Toronto, look for numbers as people who brought the games to the city try to justify the unbelievable expense and social upheaval.

The latest mind-boggling move is reported by Toronto Life: “Last month, the city declared that vast swaths of Toronto would be off-limits to road work from May 1 to July 31 to keep streets clear, what with the deluge of soccer fans expected to descend on the city. These restricted zones would cover everything south of Bloor Street to the lake between Sherbourne and Landsdowne as well as Parkside Drive, Roncesvalles Avenue, and long stretches of Dufferin, Bathurst, Avenue, Broadview and Yonge north of Bloor.”

Israel looking for ‘significant change’ to how Canada handles antisemitism

Israel is pursuing a sweeping diplomatic and public relations campaign to convince Canada to change the way it tackles acts of antisemitism.

From the office of Israel’s president down to its ambassador in Ottawa, the message is the same: Canada must do more to curb threats against Jews.

But while the country’s ambassador is suggesting Ottawa should limit certain “freedoms” in order to deal with threats his government links to Iran, he hasn’t said which freedoms should be limited.


Tone-deaf statement aside Canada is likely past the point of no return.

In my many years of blogging I have witnessed the rise of Islam in Canada.

They have played the entryism card well appealing to the lust all pols have for votes.

It’s not going to get better, our system is far too corrupt, far too compromised to ever fix short of remigration.

Nothing ever gets better with Islam.
