The Globe and Mail has reported that the Canadian Armed Forces quietly put together a hypothetical scenario of the United States military invading Canada.
The results — if you’ve been paying any attention to Canada’s military over the last decade — were what you probably expected.

Imagine life in a California suburb in 2035. It’s a Monday morning, and trash cans have been wheeled to the curb for pickup. But not so fast!
Ahead of the garbage truck, now a mostly autonomous vehicle but still carrying a human overseer, there are garbage-sniffing drones. As they hover over still unemptied garbage cans, mechanical tentacles descend, opening the lid. A separate tentacle, packed with sensors, pokes into the garbage. If “organic” material is detected in the trash bin, an enforcement division is alerted, and a citation is issued.
Iran has been roiling with protest. Across cities and provinces, Iranians have been risking their lives to challenge a clerical regime that has ruled through religious coercion, surveillance and fear for nearly half a century. The merchant classes — once regime loyalists — sparked the uprising that rapidly drew young women, workers, students, professionals and grandmothers into its ranks.

The insult wielded against protesters taps into a long tradition of casting wine drinkers as out-of-touch elitists.
While discussing the protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in American cities, David Marcus wrote in a Fox News Opinion piece last week that “organized gangs of wine moms” were using “antifa tactics to harass and impede” ICE agents. He also referred to those mothers as “self-important white women,” a comment echoed by another Fox News personality, Will Cain, who spoke of “a weird kind of smugness” among them.
“Wine moms” conjures up ludicrous images — women holding babies in one arm and brandishing bottles in the other, legions of them marching forth in zombie lock step.
Pity the misunderstood wine Mom.

After eight months without any trade or tariff agreements, some people said that it was a relief to see that Prime Minister Carney had reached a partial free trade agreement with China. It appears to be substantially a liberalization of our sale of canola in exchange for their exportation to us of 49,000 electric vehicles.
To the extent that this begins a process of making Canada less dependent upon the United States economically, it is useful. And to the extent that it inaugurates a series of enterprising trade agreements with a wide variety of countries, it is the beginning of a welcome and long-overdue procession of events to end Canada’s status as a branch-plant country. This process began with the Canada -U.S. Free Trade Agreement of nearly 40 years ago, prior to which almost every company in Canada, except Canadian Pacific and the large banks, had the words “Canada Ltd.” after their names.
In Europe, America is attacked relentlessly, while China is handled delicately.
I love Europe.
I took a job unexpectedly in Milan, Italy, when I was just 22 years old. I had graduated from college less than a year earlier, and my first real experience of adulthood was not in America, but in Europe. I did not arrive as a tourist drifting from museum to café. I arrived to work, to struggle, to adapt, and to build a life inside a foreign culture.
A Federal Court judge has given a former head constable with Pakistan’s Punjab Police Service (PPS), who was ordered deported from Canada for making ‘a voluntary, significant and knowing contribution to the crimes against humanity’ committed by the notorious force, another chance to stay in Canada.
Munir Ahmad Malhi and his wife arrived in Canada in January 2020 and soon sought refugee protection.
As Qatar and Turkey are set to play a key role in US President Donald J. Trump’s “Board of Peace” for the Gaza Strip, it is important to note that both countries do not believe in any peace process between Israel and the Arab and Islamic countries, and they continue to embrace and sponsor Islamists who support Islamist terrorists.
Last week, in a story about the Doug Ford government’s plan to increase the number of private clinics and reduce wait times in Ontario, one Toronto-based doctor told CTV News that Ontario’s health-care system is in “remarkably good shape.”
According to the Progressive Conservative government, nearly a quarter of children in Ontario wait too long for general pediatric care. All children wait four months (on average) for “non-urgent” treatment, compared to the government’s ridiculously long target of no more than six months. Crucially, this is only after they first wait weeks or months to see a specialist or for any diagnostics (e.g. an MRI).
The alleged ringleader of an anti-ICE mob, reportedly including Don Lemon, that stormed a Minnesota church during Sunday service has been arrested, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday morning.
“We have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Bondi said in a statement on X.
Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota.

An Ontario man has been ordered by a Superior Court judge not to bring a snake to ongoing proceedings in a family law dispute.
According to a November 2025 decision by Justice Calum MacLeod, the man appeared at a family court case conference with an albino ball python named “Rico,” insisting that the snake was a service animal.

They want him overthrown. President Trump’s visit to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum where he dressed down European leaders was the final straw for the leftists of ABC’s The View. They were so fed up that, on Wednesday’s episode, ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg was openly calling for Trump to be overthrown via the 25th Amendment. It would be a move she didn’t seem educated on since it required his cabinet to act and she wanted them gone too.
Praising ‘coexistence,’ Mark Carney says Canada can show the world ‘another way is possible’
QUEBEC CITY — Following the impact of his major foreign policy speech in Davos this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke directly to Canadians on Thursday in a second wide-ranging address framed as a clarion call for the government’s vision, national unity, and the value of Canadian “coexistence.”
Carney also used the opportunity to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned the prime minister this week that Canada “lives” because of the United States, and that the Canadian leader should remember that.
Mark Carney proclaims that "diversity is a strength" in his speech to Canadians.
"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness."
