Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe says she was “surprised and shocked” to learn that a Waterloo Regional Police Service sniper was deployed as part of law enforcement’s efforts to manage an unsanctioned street party during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the city’s university district.
Waterloo police confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the St. Patrick’s Day crowd on Saturday was indeed a Waterloo police officer.
The United States is allowing Iranian oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Monday.
“The Iranian ships have been getting out already, and we’ve let that happen to supply the rest of the world,” Bessent told CNBC’s Brian Sullivan in a “Squawk Box” interview in Paris. The Treasury secretary is in France for trade talks with China.

Julia Nuttall will never forget the terror and helplessness of huddling in a closet with her three children in their Lawrence Park home in early December.
It was 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, when the family heard banging. Downstairs, intruders had smashed the glass of her front door. She gathered her children and called 911 as her husband went to confront the burglars, screaming at them down the stairs.
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has drawn criticism for calling on migrants in Germany to vote against the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Merkel, who served as the architect of the European Migrant Crisis in 2015, when she unilaterally decided to open the EU’s borders to unprecedented waves of foreigners from the Middle East and Africa, resulting in dramatic demographic transformations in her country and across the continent, appears to have let the cat out of the bag as to her motivation for doing so.
The mask is off.
Angela Merkel, who flooded Germany with third world men, admits it was votes.
Says it was to stop the AfD party!

HALIFAX—Whatever you may think about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s chances of becoming prime minister—the proverbial snowball in hell comes to mind—he keeps trying to find a way to stay in the game against Mark Carney.
It is no easy task. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s lead over Poilievre in the polls keeps growing, recently hitting 13 points. If that spread were to hold in an election, it would be a debacle for the Conservatives.
Rumours persist that more Conservative MPs may be planning to join the handful of former colleagues who’ve already defected to the Liberals.
Some Canadians find it perfectly in step … and that number will only increase as more awaken to the rape of Canada by Carney and his Brookfield pals.
MEXICO CITY — The Trump administration has launched an unprecedented immigration enforcement operation across the U.S. to deport people there illegally, but data compiled by a Mexican investigative outlet show that deportations of Mexicans were lower last year than in each of the previous four years.
Under the Biden administration, deportations of Mexicans per year reached nearly 300,000. Since President Trump returned to the White House last January, the U.S. has deported a little over 144,000 Mexicans to their homeland by the end of 2025, according to Mexican government data.
The latest numbers on inflation from Statistics Canada showing overall inflation dropping are already outdated.
The federal agency released its latest report on Monday morning showing the Consumer Price Index rose 1.8% in February compared to a year earlier.
Hundreds of American soldiers have been captured across the Gulf. US military bases throughout the region lie in ruins. Benjamin Netanyahu is dead or gravely wounded.
Washington officials are begging for a ceasefire while the US loses control of a war that will not end until Iran says so.
Relentless Iranian missile strikes are smashing Israel while enemies plead for mercy, and the US strike groups are rendered non-functional and forced to retreat after being hit with missiles.
The war in the Middle East, the fear that it could escalate and the economic consequences were top of mind as Prime Minister Mark Carney met his British counterpart Monday in the United Kingdom at the tail of a whirlwind trip to Europe.
Carney met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London, where the two leaders discussed the ongoing military operations of the United States, Israel and Iran and the closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz.
An official statement from Carney’s office following the meeting said that both Canada and the U.K. condemned Iran’s missile and drone attacks, including on civilian and energy infrastructure.
When the sun sets, a growing number of Cubans are banging pots in protest against an authoritarian regime they blame for dire living conditions. In one town, residents sacked the headquarters of the ruling Communist Party, making a bonfire with the office furniture on Saturday.
“Libertad, libertad,” shouted hundreds of demonstrators as they faced off against police outside the precinct in Morón, a city of about 70,000 near Cuba’s northeastern coast. Protesters then marched to the offices of the ruling Communist Party, according to the Cuban government and videos posted on social media.
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada may have been the odd man out, but he was also the star attraction at a meeting of the leaders of the five Nordic countries in Oslo on Sunday.
The meeting, convened by Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store of Norway, came in the aftermath of President Trump’s attacks on Canada’s sovereignty, and his suggestion that the United States take over Greenland in name of Arctic security. Although Mr. Trump seemed to have set that notion aside for the present, it was high on the leaders’ list of concerns, along with the war on Iran, which has disrupted energy markets worldwide, and Russia’s warnings regarding Ukraine.
It’s ever so predictable. As soon as a major terrorist attack is launched by a radical Islamist against a Jewish institution or individuals, the second thing out of many hand-wringing Democratic government officials is, “We hope this doesn’t lead to Islamophobia.” If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard this nonsense, I’d be able to afford a Ford Bronco.
And again, that’s similar to what we heard from Muslim-American Mayor Mo Baydoun of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, which is not far from Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, the site of the latest terrorist attack against Jews, where there would’ve been multiple casualties if not for the actions of quick-thinking security guards.
CSIS deservedly got pummeled so bad in the comments they finally turned them off.
Today, we stand against Islamophobia and all forms of hatred. Everyone deserves to live free from fear. 🤝 #CombatIslamophobia pic.twitter.com/TgP9LRweB7

Ontario is calling on the federal government to legally allow people to carry and use pepper spray for self-defence.
Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey made the request in a letter to his federal counterpart, federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, in a letter on Saturday.
By legalizing the use of pepper spray for self-defence, Downey wrote that it would give “vulnerable, law-abiding citizens a practical, immediate tool to defend themselves.”
Donald Trump has ratcheted up the pressure on European allies to help protect the strait of Hormuz, warning that Nato faces a “very bad” future if its members fail to come to Washington’s aid.
The de facto closure of the vital waterway by Tehran in retaliation for airstrikes by the US and Israel has proved catastrophic for global energy and trade flows, causing the largest oil supply disruption in history and soaring global oil prices.
The US president’s call for allies to enter the war by sending ships to the strait to protect commercial shipping vessels and unblock global oil supplies has met a muted response. Australia, France, Japan and the UK are among the countries to have said they have no plans to send ships.

The sense of entitlement to US cash is eye watering: ‘We cannot replace USAID, but we can do big things’: conservation plots a future without American money
Established in July of last year, the Dominion Society — headed by former People’s Party of Canada director Daniel Tyrie — has made a noticeable splash in Canadian politics. The Dominion Society’s chief concern is mass immigration and its consequences. In their polemic against the policies of mass immigration, the Dominion Society says that the Canadian elite has manufactured a fictitious “mass immigration consensus,” and that this has been utilized to justify continued increases in the number of newcomers into Canada.
