Heaping Vitriol on the Alberta Independence Movement Has the Opposite Effect Than Intended

The number of people lining up to support Alberta independence has reached a level that can’t be ignored, regardless of where people stand on the issue. Politicians and pundits have stopped ignoring the movement, but their reactions have been feeding separatist sentiment rather than defusing it. It’s almost certain that an independence referendum will be held in the fall of 2026. Opponents to Alberta independence must temper their reactions to the movement and embrace some political nuance if they want to see the “yes” side of the independence referendum defeated.

Xi’s corruption purge to make army ready to invade Taiwan

At the press of a button, the lids of the missile silos in western China should open to launch nuclear weapons capable of reaching the United States.

But according to US intelligence released in 2024, the materials used to construct them were too heavy. Not only that, some of the missiles were filled with water rather than fuel.

The scandal – or some form of it – appears to have driven Xi Jinping, China’s president, to remove the entire leadership of Rocket Forces, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) division responsible for Beijing’s nuclear deterrent, in the months before the leak was published.

DOBBIE: Globe trotting PM needs to show some results

After a year of the Prime Minister whizzing around the world, Canada still has nothing concrete to pin our hopes on for a happier, more prosperous country.

Relationships with the United States are strained with Mr. Carney earning the title of Governor from Mr. Trump for the thinly veiled speech criticizing the President delivered by the Prime Minister to the world at Davos. Then, according to a witness to a phone conversation between the two, the prime minister climbed down from his lofty position. But once again, Mr. Carney has a different story to what the witness heard, telling Canadians that he stood by his word. This is not the first time we have seen conflicting stories from Mr. Carney about what he has said or not said.

Canadians now prioritize trade with China over human rights concerns

A growing majority of Canadians now view economic engagement with China as more important than focusing on the country’s human rights record, a new Angus Reid Institute poll shows.

Three-in-five respondents (59%) said trade and investment opportunities should be Canada’s main priority, marking a sharp shift from recent years when human rights concerns dominated public opinion.

Britain is becoming a surveillance state, but no one seems to care

Shabana Mahmood’s announcement that facial recognition is to be rolled out across the nation is no vague statement of aspiration. Part of wider policing reforms and backed by the promise of fifty more camera-topped vans, the Home Secretary’s announcement signals the government’s determination to make mass surveillance part of daily life. Combined with the current consultation on facial recognition, it also confirms that Britain is becoming a surveillance state without any real thought or debate.

‘It Wasn’t Working’: Canada Province Ends Drug Decriminalization

Over 35 years as a drug user, Vancouver resident Garth Mullins said he’s had “hundreds and hundreds” of interactions with police, and long believed drug decriminalization was smart policy.

“I was first arrested for drug possession when I was 19, and it changes your life,” said Mullins, who is now in his 50s and was an early backer of Canadian province British Columbia’s decriminalization program that ended on Saturday.

“That time served inside can add up for a lot of people. They do a lifetime jolt in a series of three‑month bits,” he told AFP.

The Godless Governance of Islam

Islam is not what the West thinks it is. While it uses the word religion to gain unobstructed entry into secular legal and social frameworks, its goal is not spiritual growth or private belief. It is state control. And wherever Islam gains power, it governs through law, not faith. Iran is the most recent example. In January 2026, the regime slaughtered an estimated 25,000 unarmed men, women, and children – using heavy machine guns and targeted headshots – to enforce obedience and suppress calls for its removal.

Epstein’s sex empire was ‘KGB honeytrap’

Paedophile financier had multiple talks with Putin after conviction – with Russian girls flown in to harvest ‘kompromat’ on world-famous figures

Jeffrey Epstein was running ‘the world’s largest honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates, intelligence sources believe.

The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to incendiary claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow, and possibly Israel, when he facilitated assignations for some of the world’s most powerful men.

The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow. Epstein even seems to have secured audiences with Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
