It is progress that the Prime Minister’s Office is now letting Canadians know when Mark Carney speaks with President Donald Trump, but it would be much better if the read-out that followed didn’t subtract from the sum of human knowledge.
The PMO said the two leaders held a conversation on Sunday about the economy, developments in the Middle East and trade relations.
What wasn’t clear was who called whom and what, if anything, was achieved.

It’s running late, was supposed to start at 11 am
My message to Canadians & CBC:
March 10, I will testify before the Heritage Committee.
Under parliamentary privilege, I will name names & present facts about what went on @CBCNews.
You won’t want to miss this, because it matters. cc: @brodiefenlon— Travis Dhanraj (@Travisdhanraj) March 5, 2026
Ministers’ introduction of an official definition of anti-Muslim hostility risks worsening community tensions by allowing Islamists to “undermine our values”, the government’s former anti-extremism tsar has warned.
Lord Walney told The Times he was “deeply concerned” about the definition, unveiled on Monday as part of the government’s social cohesion strategy, which he said could be used by extremists to “deflect scrutiny from their quest to undermine our values and intimidate fellow Muslims”.
Road closures are in place in Toronto’s downtown core after police say someone discharged a firearm at the U.S. Consulate early Tuesday morning.
Investigators say shots were fired at the building, located near University Avenue and Queen Street West, at around 5:30 a.m.

It’s a fairly formidable building and the area must be covered in cameras.
h/t Patti Jo. This late breaking story is brought to you by the guy who couldn’t sleep last night and finally crashed about 6 am.
Much of the sense of European superiority towards America has long rested on an elitist belief that America is dominated by the wrong kind of voters.
Trump has no idea of foreign policy.” “Amateur diplomats.” “Trump privatises foreign policy.” These are the phrases echoing through German newsrooms and opinion columns—often accompanied by imagery that goes considerably further: Der Spiegel’s covers depicting Trump as Hitler or as a dictator are only the most prominent examples. The cumulative effect on public opinion has been measurable. A recent Allensbach survey found that German approval for cooperation with and trust in America had fallen dramatically, from 62% in 2020 to just 34%. A full 64% of respondents agreed that “Donald Trump disregards international rules and long-standing alliances, thereby bringing chaos to the world.”
It looks like critics who were worried about whether there would be bias in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) exhibit “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” had cause to be concerned, after all.
When the exhibit, which opens in June, was originally announced last November, I reached out to the museum’s spokesperson, Amanda Gaudes, to inquire about the makeup of the Palestinian Content Advisory Network (PCAN), given that, as per a press release from the Palestinian Canadian Congress, the group played a “central role in making this exhibit possible.” At the time, Gaudes would not reveal who the members were, only that, “It is standard museum protocol to work with advisory networks.”
Mojtaba Khamenei has been named Iran’s new supreme leader and successor to his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war with the US and Iran.
Some pro-establishment crowds have taken to the streets to celebrate the appointment of a hardliner close to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
But other Iranians have told the BBC that they believe it will not bring about change.
Canadian military police are now involved in investigating the leak of a document used to undercut the Liberal government’s consideration of an alternative to the American-made F-35.
The Ottawa Citizen reported Dec. 15, 2025, that the Department of National Defence had launched an initial investigation into the leak of the four-year-old document. At the time the DND refused to say whether police would be involved.
An alleged war criminal is facing trial accused of crimes against humanity in the first UK prosecution of its kind.
The 58-year-old man, who now lives in this country, faces three murder charges, three charges of torture and a single charge of conduct ancillary to murder.
It is the first time the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has brought charges of murder as crimes against humanity under the International Criminal Court Act 2001.
Three Toronto-area synagogues were hit by gunfire in the span of one week last week. No one was obtuse enough to express “shock.”
These acts are not shocking when one Toronto synagogue has been vandalized 10 times in 18 months. When swastikas were spray-painted on three Jewish-owned businesses in Montreal – and on a synagogue in Winnipeg, and two in Halifax, and another in Montreal. It’s not shocking when a Jewish student in Halifax was bullied out of his school, where classmates taunted him with labels of “Jewboy” and “Jewseph.” When a Jewish girls’ school in Toronto has been shot at multiple times. When a Jewish woman was stabbed in an Ottawa grocery store known for its large kosher section. When Toronto protests about the war in Gaza somehow, repeatedly, end up marching through Jewish residential areas.
This is the current state of play … it’s too late. Canadian cities look like NYC to me.
Liberal white people will literally tell you to stop being “Islamophobic” while Muslims launch bombs over their heads…

France has announced preparations for an “international mission” to keep open the Strait of Hormuz, as the war surrounding Iran threatens one of the world’s most important energy routes. The move signals that Paris is considering direct military participation in efforts to secure shipping through the narrow waterway linking the Persian Gulf to global markets.

Number of Ontarians taking stimulants more than doubled after pandemic, study finds
The number of adults in Ontario who started taking stimulants, mainly to treat ADHD, more than doubled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study that found women were the most frequent new consumers of medications once taken mostly by hyperactive boys.
The research, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, showed that more than 220,000 adults in Ontario filled a new prescription for a stimulant such as Vyvanse or Concerta in the four years after March, 2020, up from about 107,000 in the four years beforehand.
