In his widely-praised Davos speech, Mark Carney paid homage to a renowned 1978 essay by Czech dissident Václav Havel, “The Power of the Powerless.” In it, Havel tells the parable of a greengrocer who refuses to place a “Workers of the World unite!” poster in his window, symbolizing his personal dissent from a totalitarian regime’s extortion of rote public mantras nobody believes as a tool for mind control.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011, according to material in the latest release of files in the US seen by the BBC.
Emails from the recently-released batch of Epstein files show the former prince passing on reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam and confidential details of investment opportunities.
Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information about their official visits.
Charles will have no choice but to behead him soon.

Ottawa May Be Delaying Taiwan Trade Deal to Avoid Upsetting China, Taipei’s Envoy Says
Taiwan’s ambassador to Canada says Ottawa may be delaying the signing of a trade agreement with the island nation as it’s seeking closer ties with Beijing.
Harry Tseng, head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada, said in an interview with CBC’s French arm Radio-Canada that Taiwan has been left with the impression that Canada is seeking to improve its relations with China at the expense of its relationship with Taiwan.

I honestly forgot about the Superbowl last night as my broke dishwasher took all my attention.
Thousands of miles from Westminster fuelled by gargantuan cans of energy drinks and a vim for free speech, Sarah Rogers is fast becoming a thorn in Sir Keir Starmer’s side.
As Donald Trump’s firebrand undersecretary for public diplomacy, she relishes admonishing Britain over its unfiltered mass migration and failures to safeguard free speech.
From her Washington office, a sprawling suite inside the Harry S Truman Building, the New York lawyer leads the administration’s charge to rescue what it believes are Western civil liberties in terminal decline.

The federal government’s plan to replace electric vehicle sales quotas with a reduced emissions standard is unrealistic and could saddle Canadians with massive costs, according to the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI).
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that instead of gradually banning conventional vehicles by 2035, 75% of new vehicles sold in that year would need to meet an electric-equivalent emissions standard.

A quarter of Canadian families are facing food insecurity even when most have a breadwinner working a permanent, full-time job, new research suggests.
Researchers from the University of Toronto’s food insecurity research program analyzed Statistics Canada income data to better understand how Canadians’ jobs affect their access to food.
Their study, published last December in the journal Canadian Public Policy, found that the main earner in two-thirds of all households experiencing food insecurity held a permanent, full-time job.

A rogue ambassador to the United States, a new office in Washington for the “Commonwealth of Alberta,” another Mark Carney world tour: we’re just over a month into 2026, and already Canadian diplomacy is headed madly off in all directions.
Let’s start with Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, who last week heeded a call that apparently he alone could hear and headed south to liaise with his college chum U.S. Vice-President JD Vance. Acting as consulting diplomat, Jivani seemed certain that if only someone from Ottawa listened to the Trump administration, we could figure out this trade-war business. He later said he’d gleaned invaluable “insights” he couldn’t wait to sharem. He even passed on a message from the president: “Tell the Canadians I love them.”
Someone at the Star is cranky.
We’re living in a global kleptocracy
Two scandals have dominated the American culture wars of recent years, usually assigned to opposite teams. There was the liberal obsession with Russiagate — the idea that Donald Trump was a foreign asset and the Republic was under external attack from Russian agents and bots. Meanwhile, the Right fixated upon the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as proof that a paedophilic cabal ran the world and global elites were predatory monsters. Each side tended to treat the other’s scandal as a distraction or hoax.
The 3.5 million pages released last week by the Department of Justice confirm that these are, in fact, the same story. Treating Russiagate as a case of isolated foreign interference or the Epstein revelations as a story of individual depravity are limiting and, strange as it sounds, comforting frames because they give each side a convenient villain.
Members of the Jewish community are pushing for armed security as a solution for safety and protection at synagogues and schools amid rising antisemitism.
Eli Yufest is a father of three children who attend Jewish day school in Toronto.
“My wife and I worry about their safety every single day we drop them off,” he told National Post. “More broadly, I feel a responsibility to speak on behalf of Jewish families and community members who attend schools, synagogues and other communal spaces. Since October 7, and with the sharp rise in antisemitism, concerns about security have become constant among the Jewish community and deeply personal for every Jewish person I know.”
A DEFRA (Dept. for Environment Food & Rural Affairs) commissioned report published in 2022 has begun circulating again and is clearly less about protected landscapes than about protecting one belief system [1].
The focus is almost entirely on reshaping public space to accommodate Islamic religious practice. Food, prayer, toilets, fear of racism and dogs are a constant source of complaint – all of it entirely consistent with sharia.
