Peaceful Protestors Don’t Carry Loaded Pistols

Alex Pretti would be alive today had he not been armed while interfering with an ICE operation.

It was hardly necessary to read the headlines Sunday morning to know that the corporate media, like Minnesota’s irresponsible governor Tim Walz, would effectively accuse federal immigration officers of brutally executing Alex Pretti. For example, a New York Times “analysis” fails to mention that Pretti was an anti-ICE activist who had just interfered with the apprehension of a criminal suspect, and was violently resisting arrest when the officers realized he was armed. The Times falsely claims, “An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back as he lay on the ground.” No honest analysis of this episode could lead to this conclusion.

Separatist sentiment resurfaces in Alberta and Quebec as Ottawa urges unity

As Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasizes national unity, separatist sentiment is gaining renewed attention in more than one part of the country.

In the small central Alberta town of Innisfail, the quiet of Main Street contrasts sharply with the intensity of opinions surrounding the issue.

Jeff Olson, owner of Innisfail Bowling and Entertainment, says he is fully behind separation, arguing Ottawa has long treated Alberta unfairly.

‘Gaza’s Colonization Council’: Hamas’s Actual Position on Disarmament, Trump’s Board of Peace

What is the terror group Hamas’s true position regarding demands to lay down its weapons and the formation of the Board of Peace headed by US President Donald J. Trump?

Hamas is clearly unfazed by Trump’s repeated threats that it must give up its weapons. The terror organization maintains that Israel is the one that needs to be disarmed. Hamas has become used to Trump’s recurring threats over the past year — especially with Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on Trump’s new Board of Peace to make sure that Hamas is left untouched. Hamas is apparently convinced that Trump’s threats are just a means of scaring the terror group.

John Carpay: Canada Needs to Urgently Provide Life-Affirming Responses to End-of-Life Suffering

After Parliament legalized assisted suicide in 2016, 2,838 Canadians killed themselves with the help of doctors the following year. By 2024, that number had risen almost six-fold to 16,499.

Assisted suicide (euphemistically mischaracterized as medical assistance in dying, or MAID) is now the fourth-largest cause of death in Canada, accounting for 5.1 percent of Canadian deaths in 2024, and a shocking 7.9 percent of deaths in Quebec. After the Netherlands, Canada comes in second place as the global leader in assisted suicide, even dwarfing ever-progressive Belgium, where assisted suicide was responsible for 3.6 percent of deaths in 2024.

SHAMELESS: No ‘March for Life’ Story in WashPost, Page 1 Anti-ICE Protest Story

The Washington Post on Saturday demonstrated the heartfelt belief of liberal journalists that protests are only legitimate and newsworthy if they advance liberal goals. Conservative protests are somehow illegitimate and inauthentic. Friday brought a perfect test of whether they could cover a newsworthy protest on both sides, and the the Post failed it miserably.

Activist warns of ‘propaganda’ as CSIS officials tout agency’s new approach to Indigenous people

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service acknowledges its past investigating of Indigenous people has left a legacy of mistrust that persists today, but officials at the spy agency say the organization is mending its ways.

That’s the main message two CSIS officials, speaking on the condition they not be identified, impressed on CBC Indigenous during a recent sit-down discussion at the agency’s Ottawa headquarters.

Long gone are the days, they said, of CSIS’s expansive “Native extremism” program, in which CSIS officers labelled Indigenous activists as domestic extremists and potential terrorists in sweeping countrywide investigations.

Minnesota Insurrection: A Special Forces Operator Has Seen This ‘From Anbar to Helmand’

“I’ve seen organized resistance up close,” special forces veteran Eric Schwalm posted on Sunday, and “from Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.”

Inside Ryan Wedding’s alleged rise through the narcotrafficking world

Before Ryan Wedding was arrested last week as one of the FBI’s Top 10 most wanted fugitives, and before he was charged a decade earlier for masterminding a plot to sail thousands of kilos of cocaine up from the Caribbean to Canada’s East Coast, Canadian police viewed the former Olympic snowboarder as one of the many middling profiteers in Metro Vancouver’s massive underground cannabis trade.

It was 2006, and Mounties, acting on an anonymous tip given to the Vancouver police, raided a farm in the eastern suburb of Maple Ridge. There they found thousands of pot plants and dozens of kilograms of dried flower, worth roughly $10-million at the time.

The increasingly awkward case of Canada’s demilitarized Arctic

At last week’s World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his weeks of threats to annex Greenland had yielded fruit.

“We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Jan. 21. “This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.”

Time is on Trump’s side in Minneapolis

Wait them out. As Saul Alinsky said, a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.

On Saturday, the national media had a nervous breakdown over a border patrol agent shooting and killing a domestic terrorist who brought a gun and dozens of rounds of ammo to a “mostly peaceful protest.”

The New York Times best articulated the media spin: “An ICU nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.”

Canada can’t afford housing policy status quo any longer

According to a new report, it would take the average individual a jaw-dropping 44 years to save up enough money to afford a home in Toronto without financial help from family

Housing affordability is one of the most critical issues of our time. It is dividing generations, both economically and politically.

If you take a gander at new data from the Consumer Choice Center (CCC), it’s little wonder why housing is the top political issue for millions of young Canadians in poll after poll.

Bonnie Tyler’s classic hits 1bn streams – but singer reveals it ‘makes nothing’

With her instantly recognisable gravelly-voice and big, blonde hair, Gaynor Hopkins became an international sensation as Bonnie Tyler with her 80s hit, Total Eclipse of the Heart.

43 years on, and the song has cemented its place as one of the most famous power ballads of all time by surpassing a billion streams on Spotify.

But despite joining Taylor Swift, The Weekend and Eminem in the exclusive one billion club, Neath-born Tyler says that she’s made “about nothing” in revenue from the classic track.

Nope never understood the video and all of Jim Steinman’s song are 8 minutes long.

Just something different for a snow day.

NORAD pact would change if Canada pulls back from F-35 order, warns U.S. ambassador

U.S. President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada is warning of consequences to the continental defence pact if Canada does not move forward with the purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets.

“NORAD would have to be altered,” U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told CBC News in an exclusive interview at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

He says the United States would likely need to purchase more of the advanced fighter aircraft for its own air force, and would fly them more often into Canadian airspace to address threats approaching the U.S.

I think Canada will come to resemble the Albania of the Soviet era.
