Conservatives call for federal independent inquiry on Tumbler Ridge mass shooting

The federal Conservatives are calling for an independent inquiry on the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., to understand what happened and how to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.

“We have a responsibility so that it never happens again, and I think that an inquiry will find those answers and then make recommendations,” said Conservative MP Bob Zimmer, whose riding covers Tumbler Ridge.

What Khamenei’s death means for Russia and China

It took only a minute to change the world.

Within the first 60 seconds of Operation Epic Fury, Israeli officials claimed, Iran’s supreme leader and his principal henchmen were dead.

But the precision-guided missiles that struck central Tehran in the opening salvo of the war did not merely kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and upend half a century of Iranian history. They also underscored a more basic reality – where true power still lies in the world.

Three US F-15s are shot down by Kuwait in friendly fire blunder

The US has confirmed that three of their F-15 fighter jets were shot down by Kuwait in a friendly fire blunder – as video shows the $90million planes tailspinning in smoke to the ground.

Kuwait’s Defence Ministry said crews are safe after the crashes this morning, which saw at least two pilots eject from their planes near a US military base in Kuwait.

A US Central Command (CENTCOM) official confirmed that American military aircraft were ‘downed’ in Kuwait on Monday morning, as an Iraqi pro-militia outlet shared footage of a US pilot after ejecting from his aircraft in Kuwait City.

JOHNSON: Breakdown of the world, and the new ‘caliphate political party contradiction’

Due to mass migration, we can expect a disordered democracy and a permanent security crisis on the horizon.

On February 28, a major military conflict erupted in the Middle East. The primary actors in this war are the United States (US) and Israel on one side, and the Islamic Republic of Iran (along with its regional proxies) on the other. This black swan event will have catastrophic cascading effects that Western powers do not seem to understand, especially because mass migration and the rise of caliphates in the West raise serious questions around the national interests, political process, and security. Even if a change of regime were possible, it would be hard to imagine it would result in a very pleasant liberal democratic progressive utopia when every other regime change has delivered an ISIS, Alqaeda, or Muslim Brotherhood-controlled hellscape.

Ottawa’s China MOUs Put Canada Under ‘Immense Pressure Not to Displease Beijing’: Former Diplomat

Ottawa’s agreements and “strategic partnership” with Beijing may not benefit Canada and could instead put pressure on Ottawa not to “displease” Beijing, China watchers told MPs.

China scholar and former diplomat Charles Burton, who is also a senior fellow at global China-focused think tank Sinopsis, testified before the House of Commons Standing Committee on International Trade on Feb. 26. The committee is studying recent developments in Canada’s trade relations with China and Qatar.

The Target For Tonight is … Tehran

Amazing what our forces, and Israel’s forces, were able to do in one day’s work.

I was all set to lay out what I think will be a near-ideal campaign strategy for midterm election success, a strategy that will allow President Trump to strengthen his political hold over Congress during his last two years as president, something that almost no president has achieved in either the 20th or 21st centuries.

Corey Miller: The writing is on the wall for Jews at McGill University

Three slogans were scrawled on a bathroom stall at McGill University’s faculty of medicine earlier this month: “Free Palestine”; “Jews out of McGill Med”; and “Kill all Jews.” Whether composed by one person or several, their coexistence in the same vandalized space shows how anti-Zionist rhetoric sits comfortably alongside explicitly eliminationist language. At first glance, they might look like disconnected expressions of rage. In fact, they are a logical sequence, one that reveals something essential about what it means to hate Jews today.

“I came to the West because I wanted the West, not a multicultural bazaar”—UnHerd U.S. Editor Sohrab

“Europe will only be able to manage its relationship with Muslim communities more effectively if it honestly acknowledges its own Christian identity.”

Sohrab Ahmari, editor of UnHerd U.S. and one of the most influential conservative essayists in the Anglo-American debate today, spoke to europeanconservative.com during the Budapest Global Dialogue, addressing a vital question for the West: Which values can sustain its future at a time of cultural fragmentation, demographic crisis, and transatlantic tensions?

In The Triumph of the Normal, Ahmari argues that, despite decades of cultural engineering and social experimentation, there is a “deep normality” that reappears time and again: religion, family, domestic life, meaningful work, and political belonging.

Quebec Public Safety Minister Says Provincial Gun Registry Won’t Be Used to Confiscate Firearms

Lafrenière made the comments in a Feb. 26 social media post, saying he has heard the concerns about the federal gun buyback program from residents of the province.
