Britain’s Gorton and Denton by-election on Feb. 26 was more than just a local upset. It gave a glimpse into demographic changes that could shape U.S. politics.
The Green Party’s Hannah Spencer won with 41% and 14,980 votes, turning this Labour stronghold into the Greens’ first northern seat. Reform UK came second with 29% of the vote, and Labour finished third with 25%.
Turnout was low at 48%.
The Department of National Defence says it has safeguards in place to prevent intelligence from being shared with elements of the U.S. military that have carried out numerous lethal strikes on small boats in the Caribbean.
In a statement to CBC News, the department said that intelligence gathered during Operation Caribbe is “restricted” to the joint interagency task force running the operation and its partners, and is “caveated to not share with any elements of Operation Southern Spear.”

I’m betting on Elbow People
Road closures are in place in Toronto’s downtown core after police say someone discharged a firearm at the U.S. Consulate early Tuesday morning.
Investigators say shots were fired at the building, located near University Avenue and Queen Street West, at around 5:30 a.m.
WTF? @fancypants_s https://t.co/5EHB9TuPoc

It’s a fairly formidable building and the area must be covered in cameras.
h/t Patti Jo. This late breaking story is brought to you by the guy who couldn’t sleep last night and finally crashed about 6 am.
Much of the sense of European superiority towards America has long rested on an elitist belief that America is dominated by the wrong kind of voters.
Trump has no idea of foreign policy.” “Amateur diplomats.” “Trump privatises foreign policy.” These are the phrases echoing through German newsrooms and opinion columns—often accompanied by imagery that goes considerably further: Der Spiegel’s covers depicting Trump as Hitler or as a dictator are only the most prominent examples. The cumulative effect on public opinion has been measurable. A recent Allensbach survey found that German approval for cooperation with and trust in America had fallen dramatically, from 62% in 2020 to just 34%. A full 64% of respondents agreed that “Donald Trump disregards international rules and long-standing alliances, thereby bringing chaos to the world.”
Although U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in taking over Greenland appears to have faded — at least publicly — Canada’s Governor General says concern remains that the fight over the semi-autonomous territory isn’t over yet.
“Even though the threat has kind of gone to the wayside … People are still very worried it could come back,” Gov. Gen. Mary Simon said in an interview airing Sunday morning on Rosemary Barton Live.
“It creates a lot of anxiety. It creates a lot of turmoil,” she added.
Where in her job description is “interfering where you shouldn’t” written?
The Texas Senate Democrat primary came down to a race between a black woman and a white man who both hate white people. And in a perfect embodiment of white privilege, the white man won. But woke white people are just better at hating white people than any black person could.
Still some are asking whether hating white people is really the best strategy for flipping Texas?
I grew up listening to a beautiful classic folk song about Cuba, La Paloma (The Dove), beloved of my parents and their circle. It’s about a sailor who falls in love with the island and a beautiful woman on it. I didn’t hear it much over the past 40 years while becoming totally Americanized. But Cuba never left me like I did her at age six.
For one thing, my father was making a prestigious mark at Georgetown University teaching and about Cuba’s descent into Marxist hell—much to the irritation of his old school chum, Fidel Castro. And dad started at a time—the late Sixties—when many college students deemed Castro a Byronic hero, and anti-capitalist fervor was at its peak.
The New York City bomb suspects were radicalized by the Islamic State and recently returned from visits to the Middle East, it has emerged.
Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, were arrested Saturday after a homemade ‘Mother of Satan’ bomb was thrown outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s house during an anti-Islam protest.
MEXICO CITY: Mexican drug cartels are increasingly calculated in their targeting decisions, often avoiding deliberately attacking American tourists and citizens out of concern it could prompt intensified U.S. retaliation, according to experts.
Following last month’s killing of Ruben “Nemesio” Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the powerful leader of the Mexican Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt joined “Fox & Friends” and had a warning for the drug gangs: “The Mexican drug cartels know not to lay a finger on a single American, or they will pay severe consequences under this president.”
🚨 BOOM! I love that President Trump said this straight to Latin American heads of state 🔥
“We'll put a missile through the cartel boss's LIVING room if you want!” 🇺🇸

RATHER like a concerned friend staging an intervention with an alcoholic, the Trump administration has again and again tried to save Europe from itself, to tell a friend drunk on delusions that it is time to sober up. The short-term high of progressive virtue comes with a long-term hangover of economic ruin, international irrelevance, and total societal collapse. Nowhere is this more abundantly evident than in the welcoming of, and indulgent patronage fading into submissive terror towards, third world Muslim populations who refuse to integrate with Western culture and values.
A pair of apparent Islamic terrorists shouted “Allahu Akbar” after they lit and threw devices clad in black tape toward a group of Christians staging an anti-Islam protest outside of Muslim race-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mansion.

MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of being worse than Nazis after the torpedoing of the Iranian frigate Dena.
Amid rising tensions in the United States, many Americans are looking to Canada — and their roots — for a possible way out.
Lynn Rutman, a Cape Cod, Mass., resident with family ties to Quebec and Nova Scotia dating back centuries, said she’s worried about the political situation in her country, citing recent events surrounding controversial immigration enforcement policies and long-standing ideological divides.
“It’s not just me, many of us are concerned,” she said.
The CBC should be ashamed for leading on these deluded progressives but I am sure the Elbow people eat this slop up.
Their enthusiasm for Canadian citizenship will quickly end once they realize what a dumpster fire the nation has become.
While the war in Iran intensifies, the ripple effects of the conflict are already being felt around the world, including inside Canada.
The Islamic Republic of Iran operates a global network of regime sympathizers and sleeper cell operatives connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Government of Canada designated the IRGC a terrorist organization that has aligned itself with other militant groups and terrorist organizations like Hezbollah.
