There were two speeches inside the speech on Canada-U.S. relations that Pierre Poilievre gave Thursday. One was intended to make him sound like a grown-up. The other was to make him sound different than Mark Carney.
The first part was the kind of political repositioning that Mr. Poilievre has long needed.
OMG. Shelby Lang Smith, the man accused of spraying anti-ICE graffiti at the Oklahoma Capitol, is a REGISTERED CHILD S*X OFFENDER.
Of course…
Smith has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for violating the terms of his probation and is now facing 10 additional charges for… pic.twitter.com/Ww3QWLR3ZX

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Roughly translated, this means “Who guards the guardians?”
While many attribute the phrase to the Roman poet Juvenal, I first heard it in an episode of Justice League Unlimited, a kids’ cartoon about the adventures of Superman, Batman, and their assorted costumed friends. It’s an apt phrase for contextualizing the recent news concerning the FBI and its use of assessments to surveil and investigate Americans at whim.
When asked, “What would break your heart if it disappeared from LA?”
Kristen Stewart, with a mullet cut by rabid possums, said “Immigrants.”She’d be devastated without immigrants. pic.twitter.com/MwFTBc1XbE

Huh?
The NDP should have a singular focus for the short- and medium-term: finding a way back to official party status. Everything else can come later. In fact, everything else will only come later if the NDP is once again a party with at least 12 seats in the House of Commons. That official party status will unlock desperately needed funds for a starving party: more than $1.1-million, for example, for a party leader’s office budget. There’s another million and change for research. Money for technology, printing and travel. Plus dedicated spots on parliamentary committees, and daily questions during Question Period. A political party needs those things to get its message out, to fundraise, and to grow.
Donald Trump is everywhere; that’s true for his country and for the world. At home, Trump is engaged in an astonishing number of high-visibility battles with institutions once controlled by the progressive Left: the lower courts, the prestige universities, corporate media old and new, cultural gatekeepers like the Smithsonian Institution and Washington’s Kennedy Center, the governors and mayors of Democratic-run jurisdictions, and more. Beyond these shores, we find him bunker-bombing Iran, orchestrating peace between Israel and Hamas, inaugurating a shooting war on Mexican and Venezuelan drug cartels, forcing NATO allies to jack up their defense spending, and ripping apart the globalized economy.
OTTAWA — OpenAI says it is taking “immediate actions” to overhaul safety protocols after it chose not to report a Canadian ChatGPT user that police say went on to kill eight people, including six at a secondary school.
On Thursday, the tech giant revealed that the perpetrator managed to create a second account after OpenAI shut down the first over problematic entries.
The company has since faced scrutiny for not reporting the account to police amid questions about its ability to track banned users.
Neil Sedaka, legendary singer-songwriter behind hits like “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” “Bad Blood,” “Laughter in the Rain” and “Calendar Girl,” has died, a rep confirms to Variety. He was 86.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, when he liberated Europe’s concentration camps, insisted that journalists and photographers document the atrocities immediately, or, he predicted, the world would soon say they had never actually happened.
In a few years from now, the last survivors of the Holocaust will have disappeared, and the memory of what happened will fade even further.
The Holocaust was infinitely more than an attack on “dignity and human rights.” It was a unique crime: the attempt at the total extermination of an entire people by industrial means in supposedly civilized countries of the West.
Canada’s immigration, refugee and asylum system has long been broken, and to claim any questioning of it is based on racism, as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet ministers often do when they are challenged by the Conservatives, is absurd.
A decade-old study claiming to find evidence of the earthquake described in the Bible at the time of Jesus’s crucifixion is reigniting debate after resurfacing online.
The Gospel of Matthew says ‘the earth shook’ moments after Jesus cried out before dying on the cross, and researchers in 2012 reported evidence that could support the verse.
A team of geologists examined sediment layers near the Dead Sea, about 25 miles from where many scholars believe the crucifixion took place. Their analysis revealed signs of at least two significant earthquakes affecting the region.

Canada’s economy contracted in the fourth quarter, coming way below expectations, as manufacturers heavily dipped into their inventories to meet demand instead of producing fresh goods, data showed on Friday.
Gross domestic product contracted at an annualized pace of 0.6 per cent in the October-December quarter, Statistics Canada said, compared with a revised 2.4 per cent increase in the prior quarter.
This brings the country’s overall growth in 2025 to 1.7 per cent, the slowest pace of annual growth since the decline in 2020, StatsCan said.
Victims of Muslim rape gangs in the UK also accuse local police of not only helping to traffic the girls to their abusers, but raping the girls themselves.
While the overwhelming majority of police in the UK are British, based on government data, the UK police also specifically brag about “How we’re creating a diverse and inclusive police service.” Between corrupt British police and immigrants with cultures or religions that endorse rape, the issue of police complicity in rape gangs could be much worse than woke British authorities ever want us to know. After all, UK authorities want to pretend that Islam is culturally enriching, even though Islamic sacred texts explicitly approve and even encourage rape, especially of non-Muslim women.
Count that has 10 guns seized by Peel Police front line officers so far in 2026.
That’s more than one a week.
I hope they had to spend most of a day in jail!
Actor James Woods took Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Democrats to the woodshed after they heckled and protested President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
