EDMONTON, CALGARY, MOSSLEIGH, LETHBRIDGE—I had known Mitch Sylvestre — the architect of the Alberta independence movement — for less than five minutes when he first implied King Charles might have him killed.
It was late February. We were in a loud coffee shop near the Alberta Legislature. He kept mouthing the words.
“The King! The King!”
But he wouldn’t say them out loud.

Even though they are supposed to show proof of funds before entering the country, many take advantage of anything deemed "free".

Last Christmas, one of Australia’s major suicide prevention groups had a call from a very distressed suicidal man. The counsellor did his best to support him and arranged to keep in touch. But there was no answer to the counsellor’s follow up calls. Following the organisation’s duty of care rules, the counsellor made a call to NSW police, fearing the man was at imminent risk of harm.
The police reaction was shocking. “Is there a female partner who could be at risk? Is he likely to hurt her,” asked the police officer, whose immediate concern was not checking on the man in crisis but rather assessing the risk that the suicidal man could be violent.
Welcome to the latest triumph of feminist policy innovation.
The Regina school that sent its students to a LandBack smut-on-stage “courtroom comedy” earlier this week quickly realized its mistake. It had a good excuse, at least: in a letter to parents after the fact, it explained that the performing arts theatre had indicated that the production was age-appropriate. Indeed, the theatre’s website does not mention the part where a drag queen plays a gyrating, rump-thrusting, boob-jiggling version of Queen Elizabeth II in an underbust corset.
A city councilwoman in the state of Washington suggested that the LGBTQ pride flag should replace the American flag in one of her city’s public parks because it is ‘more relatable’.
Since 2025, Isabel Mata has been a progressive member on the city council in Lynnwood, a small city about 17 miles north of Seattle. She describes herself as ‘a queer, neurodivergent writer, advocate, and mindfulness meditation teacher’.
During Monday’s council meeting, Mata made her comments about the pride flag following a lengthy discussion about amending Lynnwood’s policy on how to decide which flags are flown at Wilcox Park, known affectionately by locals as ‘Flag Park’.
On the same day the prime minister named Louise Arbour as Canada’s next governor general, the Liberals voted to restore proposed legislation to move ahead with Arbour’s key recommendation for the country’s military.
The bill before parliament would put into law Arbour’s 2022 recommendation to strip the Canadian Armed Forces of the power to investigate and prosecute sexual offences, leaving that to civilian authorities instead.
The Liberals voted on Tuesday to drop a Conservative amendment to the bill that would have given victims of sexual offences the right to choose whether their cases are tried by the military or civilian judicial system.

I’ll disclose my bias straight off: I believe there’s a special place in Hell below even Dante’s imagination for adults who exploit children. Civilized societies should show absolutely zero tolerance for crimes involving child sexual abuse material or the destruction of childhood innocence.
One of my older sisters once told me that “hate” is a strong word; only say it when it’s necessary. Unfortunately, similar to words like “awesome,” “literally,” and “Nazi,” they’ve been overused to the point where those words lose their strength. Because of what she told me, I’ve refrained from saying “hate” until the situation demands it.

Canada is a circus. It is a legitimate clown show. The solutions to cleaning up this mess are remigration and an immigration moratorium. Anything less is insufficient. pic.twitter.com/RcEjJCDLpE
