Donald Trump says he is ‘not happy’ with Keir Starmer for refusing to join the war on Iran saying UK should ‘enthusiastically’ help US clear Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump today said he was ‘not happy’ with Britain and ‘very surprised’ over its response to the Iran war as he launched a fresh attack on Keir Starmer.

In his latest broadside, the US President said the UK ‘should be involved enthusiastically’ with helping American forces reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran is blockading the vital sea passage out of the Persian Gulf, stemming the flow of oil and gas from the Middle East and pushing up energy prices across the globe.

GIESBRECHT: IRGC is already here — Canada must stop being a safe haven for Iran’s enforcers

On March 5, the body of Masood Majoody was found. Majoody was a mathematics professor at Simon Fraser University but was also a vocal critic of the theocratic Iranian regime. He went missing in February 2026, and foul play was suspected. Sure enough, police have now arrested and charged two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members, Mehdi Razavi and Arezou Soltani, with his murder.

The war in Iran has come to Canada. IRGC collaborators are being charged with the murder.


Carney loves Shia values.

Ontario to end funding for 7 supervised drug consumption sites, province confirms

The Ontario government has confirmed it is cutting provincial funding for seven supervised drug consumption sites, days after harm reduction advocates said they were notified of the decision.

The province says it will initiate a 90-day wind-down period to give those using the sites time to transition to the government’s abstinence-based model — homelessness and addiction recovery treatment, or HART, hubs.

“De Facto” Communist Party Intelligence Arm Met With Chrétien and Senator Woo During Canada Visit, Beijing Readout Shows

OTTAWA – A senior official from the Chinese Communist Party’s International Department met with former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and Trudeau-appointed Senator Yuen Pau Woo during a four-day visit to Canada in March — a significant development given that Germany’s domestic intelligence service warned in 2023 that the body effectively operates like an intelligence service of the People’s Republic of China. The meetings were documented in a readout and photographs published on the department’s official website.

Bob Vylan and the rise of ayatollah chic

We’ve all been there. You rock up to speak at a demonstration, intending to lend your voice to the oppressed and the downtrodden, only to realise you are surrounded by Islamists celebrating an anti-Semitic tyrant, who oppressed and butchered his own people. Welcome to the world of Bob Vylan, the punk-rapping affront to our eardrums and basic moral decency.

Terry Glavin: ‘Pursuing my murder’ — Iranian dissident warned about those now charged in his death

Masood Masjoody was a troubled man. Obnoxious, outlandishly paranoid and vexatiously litigious, the murdered 45-year-old former sessional math instructor at Simon Fraser University was long active in Iranian diaspora circles. He was ferociously militant in the cause of Iranian democracy.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team came upon evidence suggesting foul play immediately after Masjoody’s neighbours reported to Burnaby RCMP on Feb. 2 that he had gone missing. On March 6, IHIT investigators assisted by police dogs and a search and rescue team discovered Masjoody’s remains in Mission, about an hour’s drive east of Metro Vancouver.

Warrior or captive? Which do you want to be?

IN ONE of his most remarkable short stories, Story of the Warrior and the Captive, Jorge Luis Borges recounts two seemingly unrelated historical episodes. One concerns Droctulft, a Lombard warrior who, according to Paul the Deacon, at some time in the mid-6th century abandons his people to defend Rome. The other tells of an Englishwoman captured by indigenous tribes on the Argentine frontier who, after years among them, refuses to return to European society.

Canada Built a Fair Society Based on Merit. Why Are We Abandoning It?

Canadians pride themselves on living in a fair society.

Most believe people should be judged by what they do, not by who they are. That principle is called merit. Working hard, earning your place, and contributing to the country are the foundations of Canada’s prosperity and stability.

It is also an idea that resonates deeply across political lines. Whether Canadians lean left or right, most still agree that fairness means the same rules for everyone.
