Our Long Road to War With Iran

Until last year, for some 46 years, Iran enjoyed a North Korea-like reputation in the heart of the Middle East: always unpredictable, reckless, dangerous, inevitably to be nuclear, self-destructive, and nihilistic.

All that said, was it really ever all that formidable?

LILLEY: What does Mark Carney’s majority mean for Pierre Poilievre’s future?

It looks like Pierre Poilievre is going to be stuck with the worst damn job in all of Canada for a while longer.

Between Lori Idlout’s decision to defect from the NDP to the Liberals and Mark Carney’s team sure to win at least two if not all byelections next month, the Prime Minister will get his majority and Poilievre will stay as opposition leader.

Special Report Putin, Iran, and Europe in a Post-NATO World

Russia and the Globalist left are working to diminish Trump’s hand in his latest high-stakes gamble with Iran. Moscow is helping Iran conduct surgical strikes in the Middle East while leftist governments in Europe slow-walk support for the U.S. and try to block American access to NATO bases.

Since launching Operation Epic Fury 10 days ago, the U.S. and Israel have destroyed Iran’s navy and air force, much of its missile capacity, layers of its genocidal leadership, and blown up Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities across the country. Trump is now threatening to target their energy infrastructure. But Vladimir Putin is enabling savage Iranian retaliatory strikes on the vulnerable Gulf Arab states hosting U.S. bases in hopes of leveraging them to support a Moscow-brokered peace deal that would frustrate U.S. objectives.

Canada welcomed 19 per cent fewer immigrants in 2025: ‘The cuts were quite asymmetrical’

After years of record-high immigration to Canada, significantly fewer immigrants were accepted into the country last year, a rare non-pandemic drop since 2015 when Justin Trudeau was elected prime minister.

There were 19 per cent fewer immigrants to Canada in 2025 than in 2024; that reflects a total of 393,530 new immigrants compared to 483,655 the year before, according to the latest federal government data.


The Liberal government lies about everything. The decline is likely overstated.

British Culture Under Attack—by Its Curators

Cool Graffiti at Canterbury Cathedral

From the countryside to Canterbury, the nation’s elites have contempt for all things English.

Picture the scene: gently rolling green hills, a babbling brook, sheep grazing in fields bounded by drystone walls. Perhaps a village sits in the distance, with honey-gold houses, church bells ringing, and, of course, a welcoming pub. The English countryside is celebrated worldwide—except, it seems, in England itself.

Where most people see a rural idyll, Britain’s bureaucrats spy a scandal. The countryside is a “white environment,” they complain. “White,” by their warped logic, means definitionally hostile to nonwhite people, which means racism, which is bad. So things must change. Last month, Britain’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) set out proposals to make the countryside more attractive to minorities, reportedly complete with “diversity targets.”

Maxime Bernier says Canada needs to ‘promote motherhood’ to combat low fertility rates

Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), said to combat low fertility rates, Canada must begin to promote “motherhood” from within the population and stop allowing so many immigrants into the nation unchecked.

“We must fix the conditions that prevent Canadians from having children,” wrote Bernier in a recent X post.

“We must promote motherhood.”

Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and His Extremist Problem

When the United States and Israel launched their joint operation against the Iranian regime this month, the geopolitical map of the Middle East shifted within hours. Iran’s leadership, strategic targets, command centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, ballistic missile launchers and nuclear facilities have been targeted in coordinated strikes aimed at dismantling Tehran’s terror machine.

Medical Wait Times Cost Canadian Patients $4.2B in Lost Earnings and Productivity in 2025

Prolonged wait times for surgery and medical care cost Canadian patients more than $4.2 billion in lost wages and reduced productivity last year, a new study suggests.

The 1.4 million Canadians who waited for medically necessary treatment in 2025 lost an estimated $3,043 each due to reduced wages and decreased productivity at work, according to a March 10 report from the Fraser Institute.

AI Has Learned to Code and Is Taking Over

A month ago an entrepreneur named Matt Schumer wrote a lengthy post on X titled “Something Big is Happening.” I wrote about it here. The gist of it was that AI tools had recently made a quantum leap, especially when it came to writing computer code. Schumer claimed that he no longer needed to do the work, he just need to tell the AI what he wanted done and it could do it for him.

King expressed ‘concern’ over Alberta separatists, say First Nations chiefs

King Charles: I’m an Indian Too!

King Charles III “expressed his concern” over the Alberta separatist movement while meeting Indigenous leaders at Buckingham Palace, according to a delegation of First Nations chiefs that travelled to London.

Grand Chief Joey Pete of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations said he and other leaders made the King aware of the “threat” the movement represented to agreements signed by First Nations and the Crown more than a century ago.

He added that the King was “very interested in what we had to say” and had “committed to learning more”.

Belmont Club: Regime Change

One of the reasons regime change is so risky is that the downside risk very often dominates upside potential. As we know from the Anna Karenina Principle, named from Leo Tolstoy’s novel, to get something right, all key factors must be present, while failure can occur by simply lacking just one. “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” goes the famous quote. The chances of casting Scrabble tiles on a board and, through chance, forming an actual word are much lower than the odds of getting gibberish.
