The Frank Stronach trial: Here are the key takeaways from the testimonies of the 7 women accusing Ontario billionaire of rape, sexual assault

When Frank Stronach’s sex assault trial got underway in Toronto last month, seven women were accusing him of sexual misconduct dating back decades.

It had the potential to be one of the most explosive trials the city has seen — Stronach, 93, an auto-parts tycoon and one of Canada’s richest men, was alleged to be a serial date rapist who preyed on young women in ’70s and ’80s Toronto.

Three-and-a-half weeks later, Ontario Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy has heard from all seven women, and the Crown has closed its case.

Cases of AI Agents ‘Freeing Themselves’ and Going Rogue Are Becoming Increasingly Common

“AI agents going beyond their prompts are no longer rare,” reports Axios. It’s not necessarily worrying. The AI agents that “go rogue” do so in a controlled, experimental environment.

One AI agent created by an Alibaba-affiliated research team went “rogue” and began an unauthorized cryptomining effort during training, according to a research paper by the group. The behavior triggered security alarms.

Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it

White Liberal Refugees Fleeing To Canada

Amid rising tensions in the United States, many Americans are looking to Canada — and their roots — for a possible way out.

Lynn Rutman, a Cape Cod, Mass., resident with family ties to Quebec and Nova Scotia dating back centuries, said she’s worried about the political situation in her country, citing recent events surrounding controversial immigration enforcement policies and long-standing ideological divides.

“It’s not just me, many of us are concerned,” she said.

The CBC should be ashamed for leading on these deluded progressives but I am sure the Elbow people eat this slop up.

Their enthusiasm for Canadian citizenship will quickly end once they realize what a dumpster fire the nation has become.

The Texan building nuclear bunkers to prepare Americans for World War Three

War, for most people, brings confusion, fear and destruction. But for Ron Hubbard, it brings something else altogether: opportunity.

The 63-year-old Texan builds bunkers designed to help customers survive drone attacks, ballistic missile strikes or even nuclear Armageddon. With the US war with Iran sparking fears of World War Three, business has never been better for his company, Atlas.

“I’ve been inundated with calls”, Hubbard says in an interview with The Telegraph, describing how enquiries from Americans had gone up “tenfold” since the war with Iran broke out on Saturday. Hubbard claims two senior Cabinet members in the Trump administration are amongst his clients.

Liberal gun buyback program goes from bad to farce

The federal Liberals’ gun buyback scheme just keeps getting more and more expensive and more and more useless by the week.

Late last year, the feds conducted a trial run of their confiscation program, more than five years after they first announced it. For six weeks on Cape Breton, regional police accepted banned guns that were being turned in by their owners in return for compensation.

BBC mistranslates Pete Hegseth’s speech on Iran, mistakenly swaps Iranian ‘regime’ with Iranian ‘people’

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Persian mistranslated part of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech Monday on Iran, making it appear that the United States was targeting the Iranian “people” rather than the Iranian “regime.”

During BBC Persian’s broadcast of the war secretary’s speech to audiences inside Iran, the network mistranslated the word “regime” as “mardom,” which means “people” in Persian.

This mix-up led audiences to believe the Iranian people were being targeted by the U.S., when, in reality, Hegseth had said the Iranian regime was being targeted by American forces.

U.S. intelligence sees Canada as ‘serious place of concern for Iranian activity’: National security analyst

WAGNER: When Canadians fought for freedom, Pierre Trudeau fought against it

The 1968 federal election was the first for the new Progressive Conservative leader, Robert Stanfield. Like other leaders before him, Stanfield had a Quebec lieutenant, in this case, Marcel Faribault. Westerners were suspicious of Faribault.

At a candidate forum in the rural Alberta riding of Crowfoot, arch-conservative MP Jack Horner was asked about Faribault. Himself a bit skeptical of the fellow, Horner replied, “I don’t know much about Faribault, but at least I could say this: that he’d fought for our country in the last war. Need I say more?” The audience went quiet.

Poilievre Says US Action in Iran, Venezuela Part of Strategy to Counter China

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and Iran is part of a broader strategy to counter China’s reach around the globe.

Poilievre said Canada must decide how it fits into the American strategy and suggested strengthening ties with its southern neighbour for Canada’s economic and security benefit. He made the comments during a March 4 appearance on the Triggernometry podcast while visiting the U.K.

Trump convenes ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with 12 Latin American leaders

Donald Trump changed the channel from Iran to the western hemisphere on Saturday, convening a gathering of Latin American leaders at his Miami-area golf club to discuss regional interests and establishing what he called a “counter-cartel coalition”.

“Just as we formed a coalition to eradicate Isis, we now need a coalition to eradicate the cartels,” he told 12 regional leaders gathered at what the White House called the “Shield of the Americas” summit.

“We must recognize that the epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico,” where “the cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere.”

As Carney seeks strengthened global alliances, is it time Canada join the EU?

Since taking office, Prime Minister Mark Carney has made his desire to cut Canada’s economic dependence on the United States crystal clear. And along the way, he’s referenced Europe as a top destination for Canadian goods.

“As the most European of the non-European countries, Canada looks first to the European Union to build a better world,” Carney said last June at an EU-Canada summit in Brussels.

From that point on came steady and deeper integration. Canada has since signed a security and defence partnership with the EU, and this week the two sides agreed to enhance their existing free trade agreement.

Joining the EU would be like an orgasm for Carney.
