He left the police station under the cover of darkness. Slumped in the back seat of a car, wild-eyed and exhausted, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor looked like a man with the full weight of the past and the future on his shoulders.
A man born in a palace as Prince Andrew spent his 66th birthday at a police station on Thursday, becoming the first member of the Royal family in modern history to be arrested.
By nightfall, after nearly 12 hours in custody, he was released under caution with more questions to come. The magnitude of his fall from grace seemed etched on his face.
Epstein’s New Mexico Zorro Ranch was a 10,000-acre compound with its own mansion, runway, hangar, surrounded by wide-open desert that made escape impossible.

CALGARY — Premier Danielle Smith’s Chief of Staff, Rob Anderson, says Smith will address staggering immigration numbers on Thursday in a televised address to the province.
Anderson was reacting to a post by David Coletto on X, CEO of Abacus Data Canada on Wednesday.
Watch the tv address of Premier @ABDanielleSmith to Albertans tomorrow.

There are few things in politics more indecipherable or meaningless to the average Canadian taxpayer than a government announcing a 10-year plan, which is why Prime Minister Mark Carney keeps doing it.
Ten-year plans give the government lots of runway before it has to produce results.

The family of a 26-year-old Canadian man who was recently euthanized is speaking out against the law that allowed for his death after a doctor reportedly “coached” him on how to qualify for physician-assisted suicide.

As the renegotiation of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement looms, game theory suggests Ottawa may have to accept higher American tariffs and make previously unthinkable concessions.
The calculus has fundamentally changed. In previous negotiations, all three countries shared a commitment to the principles of free trade which ensured co-operative outcomes. Now, the United States sees trade through a different lens entirely, one revealed in recent trade deals and policy statements. And while dismissing anything from President Donald Trump’s administration has become fashionable, the logic of their position isn’t entirely without foundation.
Someone with common sense snuck into the Globe and slipped this in.

Maybe, just maybe, we owe defenestrated Liberal Party leader Sussan Ley a small apology. For her ‘out there’ views on numerology, if nothing else. After all, she was rolled as leader on Friday the 13th. I have no idea if she also foolishly walked under an upright ladder, then kicked a black cat while gazing into a broken mirror before heading to the partyroom spill vote. But come on Sussan with two ‘S’s! Even we sceptics of numerology know you should have made sure the spill was held on a different day of the month.

LONDON — British police have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly known as Prince Andrew — on suspicion of misconduct in public office, Thames Valley Police confirmed Thursday morning.
The arrest, believed to set a historical precedent in Britain, came on his 66th birthday. Officers were seen at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the former prince has been living since being evicted from his sprawling royal residence. At least six unmarked police cars were photographed arriving at Wood Farm, his current residence on King Charles’s Sandringham estate, with around eight officers thought to be on site, the BBC reported. Searches were also conducted at an address in Berkshire, likely at the royal estate at Windsor where he previously lived.

Rupert Lowe deals in the politics of return: illegal immigrants are going back, and so is Britain. The Great Yarmouth MP, formerly of Reform UK, has now launched Restore Britain as a new political party, and on Wednesday evening claimed that it had passed 70,000 members. The launch announcement was marked with a stirring video of Lowe in his farmer’s get-up, as well as a series of semi-ironic nationalist compilations presumably made by Restore’s Zoomer footsoldiers. In one of these, among nostalgic nods to Geoff Hurst and Zulu, 1997 is invoked as the year when everything started to go wrong. Speaking over grainy images of a lost Britain, Lowe sums up his political outlook: “I think the state is bad, and I think the individual is good.”
One area where the state has undoubtedly failed, in Lowe’s eyes, is on the matter of immigration. While Reform has pledged to deport all illegal immigrants, Restore wants to go further. Lowe has promised to scrap the asylum system entirely, also stating last week that “legal immigration will almost come to a complete halt.” The goal is not just to halt migrant influxes but to reverse them. “Net zero immigration is weak, weak, weak. It is insufficient and it is too late,” he said in the speech with which he launched the party. “The barbarians are already in the gates.”
I prefer both his trustworthiness and his policy to Farage.

The Alberta father who severed his daughter’s esophagus and punctured her lung is currently enjoying freedom as he awaits his sentence. This wasn’t for his family’s lack of trying: after he was granted bail by a nonchalant judge (after which he made a series of social media posts admitting his guilt), a relative tried getting him detained on mental health grounds. He was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation — only to be released shortly afterward.

Jeffrey Epstein revealed in an email that he had secretly bankrolled Sarah Ferguson for 15 years.
The paedophile said that he began ‘financially supporting’ the former Duchess of York in 1996 – the year she divorced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The email from the child sex predator to a friend has emerged in the latest cache of Epstein Files.
There seems to be a push for the Royal Family to ditch Sarah’s daughters as well.

A press release from the office of the Chief of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C., has stated that the most recent investigation at the Kamloops Residential School site shows “signatures that resemble burials” but no confirmed graves.
The investigation, which the B.C. government pledged $12 million to in 2021, has yet to produce any concrete evidence of burials or gravesites.
BC First Nation confirms it never tried to recover alleged graves of 215 Residential School students despite claiming $12M in fed funding for "exhumation of remains." https://t.co/pr8Yn70w7D @CdnHeritage @Tkemlups #cdnpoli #bcpoli pic.twitter.com/27hi89EWCZ

The key to the Qatari approach lies in embracing the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of infiltrating Western institutions, including through the electoral process. But this does not translate into adapting to Western values, notes scholar Mark Menaldo. Instead, it advances an ideology developed by the Muslim Brotherhood’s intellectual founder, Sayyid Qutb, that ‘cannot accommodate democratic principles such as legal pluralism’ outside Islamic practice.
