The moment when Canada moved from Britain’s orbit into America’s can be dated precisely to Aug. 17, 1940.
That was the day when Canadian prime minister William Mackenzie King and U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Ogdensburg Agreement that defined the principle of the joint defence of North America.
The agreement, drafted in pencil and without consultation with either cabinet, established the Permanent Joint Board of Defence that has been in place ever since.
According to recent German government data, the number of violent attacks against politicians surged by 28% in 2025, with the national conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) bearing the brunt of the violence.
Out of 183 recorded violent crimes targeting politicians last year, 121 were directed at AfD representatives.
The feds have committed a whopping $13 million to be spent on warehousing facilities in Africa — without most taxpayers even knowing.
The spending was announced in March by Global Affairs Canada, and will continue to be given in increments until 2033.

PIC USA registered to lobby Ottawa about regulatory requirements for farm products after Health Canada approved its new gene-edited pigs for consumption in Canada in January.
PIC, or “Pig Improvement Company,” was founded in England and has been developing ways to breed pigs to improve their resistance to disease since the 1960s.
The Second Continental Congress called for a “day of humiliation, Fasting and Prayer” in May of 1776 amidst the impending separation with the Crown. As General George Washington stated, the day was set to “supplicate the mercy of Almighty God” and seek forgiveness for the nation’s sins before undertaking what would become the American Revolution.
ALL SIR Keir Starmer’s efforts to stop people from attending Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally and march in central London on Saturday failed. Utterly. Neither his ‘shaming’ and threats, nor an unprecedented police presence – 4,000, I am told – closing off central London from any tube or road access, worked.
Nor did the tactics succeed in provoking the thousands of marchers – those who managed to get to Whitehall from Euston and Kings Cross, and the many more thousands who never even got sight of Trafalgar Square, stuck at the far end of the Strand, who after three hours gave up. It all said so much for the law-abiding, decent ever-patient Brits who attended.
The Guardian (yes indeed) reports on the morning of May 16th 2026 that the World Health Organisation (yes indeed) – no, let me quote the headline, as it is in the imperative mood. You know, imperative: the mood of emperors:
‘Declare climate crisis a global public health emergency, experts tell WHO’
It’s unlikely most readers knew who Chud the Builder was before he was arrested last week on charges related to a self-defense shooting in Clarksville, Tennessee. Chud, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly, is a social media personality known for his racial ragebaiting content, routinely using slurs against non-whites during his livestreams.
Streamer Chud the Builder visibly reacted after a judge set his bond at $1.25 million in court.
The 28-year-old, Dalton Eatherly, is facing an attempted murder charge after a shooting outside a Tennessee courthouse. Judge Reid Poland III said the high bond reflected “how many… https://t.co/m8SNaQGyej pic.twitter.com/G3UJn2iUtq

For a brief moment on Saturday afternoon, a befuddled silence fell over the 60,000-strong crowd that had gathered in central London for the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally. Three women dressed in niqabs – the full Islamic dress that allows only a thin horizontal slit for seeing – emerged on stage. For a moment, confusion reigned in Parliament Square.
Owen Jones is a ridiculous little man.
No condemnation from our politicians.
No outrage from the media.
No action by the police.
British Muslims are sent a clear message:
You are fair game for hatred. https://t.co/5iTSMpmcBf

Justin Trudeau left a women’s conference squirming as he told a story teaching schoolgirls who wore their ‘skirts too short.’
The former Canadian Prime Minister, 54, recalled the awkward anecdote while speaking at the 2026 Women Deliver Conference in Melbourne, Australia last month.
During a sit-down with his former Chief of Staff Katie Telford, Trudeau told a story about his time as a school teacher early in his career and founding a school newspaper.

Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Fatima Jabbe-Bio, has retained tenancy of a subsidised council flat in Southwark, south London, despite living in a presidential mansion in Freetown, the Sierra Leonean capital, and being linked to a substantial property portfolio in West Africa.
The two-bedroom property, in one of London’s most deprived boroughs, has had the same tenant since December 2007, according to Southwark Council records. The average monthly council rent for a two-bedroom flat in the borough is about £560 (€660), roughly a third of local market rates.
One unhappy First Nation makes headlines.
Canadians broadly support reconciliation with First Nations. As Prime Minister Mark Carney often reminds us, we accept the constitutional duty to consult on large-scale nation-building projects — oil and gas pipelines, new mines, and port expansions. But a troubling pattern is spreading: a single First Nation’s objection to more mundane local decisions — usually framed around inadequate consultation or cumulative environmental impacts — now lands in small-town newspaper headlines and can delay or kill modest community projects.
