How photos of smiling Andrew ended the ‘siege of Royal Lodge’
When the King first tried to oust Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from his Windsor home, it began a two-year battle described by one source as “the siege of Royal Lodge”.
On Monday night, after a two-year stand-off between the brothers — not to mention a few carefully timed trebuchets thrown by palace courtiers — the duke finally left his £30 million, 31-room mansion.
Andrew, 65, was driven to Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, where he will stay while his more permanent home, the nearby Marsh Farm, is prepared.

Stephen Harper says Canada must urgently reduce its dependence on the U.S.
Former prime minister Stephen Harper said late Wednesday that Canada must urgently pivot in the face of an erratic U.S. president and reduce its dependence on the American market to protect its sovereignty and the continued functioning of the economy.
Speaking at a gala in Ottawa to mark the 20 years since he formed a Conservative government, Harper said while he has “largely stayed silent” on U.S. aggression up until now, he feels compelled to speak out about what he described as an existential threat.
He said the U.S. has become “hostile” and its leader, President Donald Trump, is openly questioning Canadian sovereignty, launching threats and betraying trade deals, which poses a “serious challenge” that demands a muscular response.
I don’t know the Canada he’s asking us to defend and frankly we have much bigger problems than Trump.
WTF?

Nike investigated for discriminating against white workers
Nike is being investigated by the US government over allegations it discriminated against white employees and job applicants.
The company failed to respond properly to a subpoena seeking documents about its diversity programmes, including “race-restricted mentoring, leadership, or career development opportunities,” according to the US equal employment opportunity commission (EEOC).
The agency is seeking a court order to force the athletic footwear and clothing giant to hand over documents “related to systemic race discrimination”.
WTF?

OTTAWA — After meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani said he has a message to Canadians from U.S. President Donald Trump: “Tell the Canadians I love them.”
Jivani announced on Wednesday that he was in Washington, D.C. to meet representatives from General Motors and to attend Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast in the U.S. capital.

No Leniency for Antifa Assaults: German ‘Hammer Gang’ Member Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison
On Wednesday, February 4th, the Budapest-Capital Regional Court sentenced German far-left activist ‘Maja T.’—born Simeon T.—to eight years in prison for his role in a series of brutal, ideologically motivated attacks carried out in Budapest in February 2023.
The court found that Maja T. took part in organised, premeditated assaults during the so-called Day of Honour commemorations in the Hungarian capital, when groups of masked attackers stalked victims they deemed ‘right-wing,’ ambushing them from behind and beating them with batons, metal rods, and other weapons.
Government expected to announce it’s scrapping EV mandate in favour of new fuel efficiency system: source
The federal government is expected to announce its national automotive strategy on Thursday that includes scrapping Canada’s electric vehicle mandate and replacing it with a new system of fuel efficiency standards and credits, CBC News has learned.
Two sources say Ottawa is also expected to bring back popular electric vehicle incentives for consumers purchasing electric vehicles.
Money will also be announced to build more charging stations for EVs across Canada to help consumers, a source said.
SLOBODIAN: Taxpayer-funded ‘spin’ doctors — Ottawa spent $262,000 teaching bureaucrats how to dodge Parliament’s questions
Consultants were paid $262,609 to coach federal managers on how to answer questions when summoned to testify before parliamentary committees.
These consultants offered managers “strategic and practical advice” on committee appearances. They were hired to “review material and provide comments, advice, and suggested questions,” the cabinet wrote in an Inquiry of Ministry tabled in the Commons, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
A Nation That Won’t Enforce Immigration Laws Isn’t A Nation At All
The unrest surrounding immigration enforcement in Minnesota is a flashpoint for a much deeper struggle over U.S. sovereignty.
A sovereign nation, by definition, must be able to enforce its laws within its own territory.
When federal immigration law is openly resisted, and elected leaders excuse, rationalize, fail to deter, or even encourage violence against those tasked with exercising constitutional authority, both the federal government and the nation lose their fundamental legitimacy.

9 Toronto police officers facing charges related to tow-truck violence: sources
Nine Toronto police officers are facing charges related to violent incidents involving tow trucks and operators across the Greater Toronto Area, multiple sources tell CBC News.
CBC News is not naming the sources, as they are not authorized to share details publicly.
The officers are accused of trafficking, leaking addresses to hitmen, and leaking police officer addresses, the sources said.
This article says beyond the TPS cops officers from other jurisdictions are also involved. If I recall correctly this links back to Asian criminals.

Spain has just flung open Europe’s borders
In 2015, Europe experienced its most significant wave of inward migration since the Second World War. German chancellor Angela Merkel responded by unilaterally opening her nation’s borders, without consulting her own people or her European neighbours. More than a decade on, the impact of that migrant crisis has yet to subside. EU countries, from Germany to the Nordics, are still struggling to integrate new arrivals and process asylum claims. Support for populist and right-wing parties has spread like wildfire across the continent.
John Ivison: Poilievre finally tackles the Trump test and looks more statesmanlike for it
The main criticism of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s convention speech on Friday was that in 40 minutes or so, he didn’t mention the words “Donald Trump” — or how he would respond to the president’s intimidation.
On the contrary, though, I thought what he was saying was pretty clear: That he intends to follow in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s footsteps to the point where their positions are indistinguishable.
The Conservatives have likely concluded that the public see Carney as best equipped to handle the president, and their optimal strategy is to inoculate themselves, in the hope that by the time of the next election, Trump is like the measles, unpleasant but transitory.
