Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has a “crazy job” and he thinks about quitting all the time, but, “I couldn’t be the man I am and give up the fight at this point.”

Pro-Palestinian activists target dozens of MPs in ‘litany of menace’
A damning dossier has revealed almost 40 incidents of MPs and councillors being targeted with intimidatory tactics by pro-Palestinian activists, The Telegraph can disclose.
Counter-extremism analysis has revealed a “litany of menace” since the start of the year, involving elected representatives experiencing verbal abuse, intimidation and disruptive protests related to the Israel-Hamas war.
Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre? That’s bad news for Doug Ford
By rights, these two right-wingers should be soul mates.
Yet they are anything but.
Premier Doug Ford and federal Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre barely know each other. Nor are they in a hurry to get better acquainted.
They have no private conversations to speak of. Nor any public interactions to take stock of.
Canada’s Online Harms Act is revealing itself to be staggeringly reckless
You have to understand: the Online Harms Act was supposed to be the “good” bill, the one part of the Trudeau government’s three-pronged effort to regulate the internet that was addressed to a real problem.
The Online News Act (Bill C-18) was a transparent shakedown operation, whose stated premise – by posting links to stories on news media websites, social-media platforms were not providing them with valuable free advertising but stealing their content – was but a front for its actual premise: the platforms have money, and the media want some.
Every American Should Read Biden’s Interview by Special Counsel Hur
This man shouldn’t be president right now, much less for the next five years.
Before the moment slips away, it’s important to highlight one of the most significant, hidden aspects of Tuesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing featuring testimony from former special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated President Biden’s willful illegal retention of classified documents: The Biden Justice Department withheld production of the transcript of President Biden’s five-hour interview by Hur until just before the hearing was scheduled to begin.
NYC Subway Shooting Is What Happens When Lawlessness Collides With ‘Tolerance And Diversity’
Because both men involved in the harrowing New York City subway shooting that took place this week are nonwhite, the pro-crime left is going to have to think very hard about how to frame this story without acknowledging the skin color of either the perpetrator or the victim.
Actually, never mind. It’s apparently already decided they’re going with the tried and true “it’s the damn guns!” line.
PA Officers by day, terrorists by night
A shocking new study released by the Regavim Movement, an NGO dedicated to the protection of Israel’s national lands and resources throughout the country, reveals the deep and growing involvement of officers of the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatus – officers who are trained, armed and equipped by the US and Europe – in terrorism against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.
Thomas Piketty’s failed revolution Ten years on, society is governed for the wealthy
Think back to the political situation a decade ago, and one may have in mind a calmer, less dysfunctional time. Britain’s economy was growing, just about, and real wages were beginning to rise for the first time since the summer of 2007, even if they remained well below that peak. The steadying influence of Barack Obama in the White House and the Coalition government in Whitehall seems a world away from our current post-Brexit, post-Covid age of geopolitical upheaval and spiralling living costs. Only the looming referendum on Scottish independence seemed then to present any real challenge to the status quo, whether that be viewed as threat or opportunity. Economists speak of a “misery index”, which combines the inflation rate with the unemployment rate. By this measure, economies of the UK and the US were doing well in the spring of 2014. Interest rates remained where they had been since the banking crisis, stuck rigidly below 1%. This was a gift to mortgage-holders, and house prices reflected that.
Is China using electric vehicles to spy on us?
There’s a famous story in American marketing circles about the pet food company that spent a fortune on a new dog food, but were horrified to find sales tanking. They’d done everything right! What could possibly have gone wrong? As the story goes, a high-priced consultant was brought in. His verdict? “The dogs don’t like it.”
Can Blacks Be Racist?
Racism should not be judged as one thing when one person does it and a different thing when another person does it.
One of the big kerfuffles in women’s sports right now is only tangentially about sports. It’s mostly about race.
It involves, also tangentially, Caitlin Clark, the sharpshooting basketball phenom for the University of Iowa who is tearing through college records like they were so many tissue-paper intramural defenses. Last week she bested Pete Maravich’s all-time scoring record of 3,667 points in a game against Ohio State. She’s currently at 3,771 points as the Hawkeyes get ready for what will almost certainly be a No. 1 seed in next week’s NCAA tournament.
How a Handful of Billionaires Created the Transgender ‘Movement’: An Interview with Jennifer Bilek
I first came across investigative journalist Jennifer Bilek’s work in 2020, when her essay “The Billionaires Behind the LGBT Movement” was published in First Things. It was a stunning piece—there are several journalists committed to exposing the transgender ‘movement’ (or industry, as Bilek calls it), but nobody has peeled away the façade of civil rights, pink-and-blue flags, and ‘trans kids’ like Bilek. If we had a mainstream press truly committed to uncovering and reporting the truth about the forces driving our culture today, her work would be cited by them across the board.
Rebel News Reporter Arrested by Police While Trying to Question Pro-Palestinian Protesters
A reporter with Rebel News has been arrested a second time in just over two months.
David Menzies was attempting to interview someone at a pro-Palestinian rally in Toronto when he was told by members of the crowd to back down and allow the individual to pray, according to a video posted by the news organization on March 15.
Video of arrest starts at 0:36 ⬇️ David Menzies asks a question, the demonstrators and supporters tell him they’re about to pray, Menzies stands his ground and police move in to remove him and, apparently, arrest him. https://t.co/jI5RvpjNaT

Brampton company says its light armoured vehicles were destined for police use in Israel, not Gaza, as Ottawa delays shipments
OTTAWA—A Canadian company that makes light armoured vehicles says its shipments destined for police use in Israel, not military use in Gaza, have been delayed without explanation by the federal government.
So have Brampton-based Roshel’s proposed shipments of light armoured vehicles (LAVS) for federal police use in Bosnia, the company says, with applications for an export licence filed on Sept. 11, nearly a month before war broke out in the Middle East. The company says this indicates Ottawa’s delays in approvals are “systemic.”
Musk’s SpaceX is building spy satellite network for US intelligence agency, sources say
WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) – SpaceX is building a network of hundreds of spy satellites under a classified contract with a U.S. intelligence agency, five sources familiar with the program said, demonstrating deepening ties between billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s space company and national security agencies.
The network is being built by SpaceX’s Starshield business unit under a $1.8 billion contract signed in 2021 with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), an intelligence agency that manages spy satellites, the sources said.
