The surreal case of an Albanian criminal who tried to dodge removal from the UK in part by claiming his son disliked foreign chicken nuggets—yes, really—reached its inevitable conclusion this week, when he won the right to stay in Britain.
Klevis Disha entered the country illegally under a false name, lied in his asylum claim, and was later jailed for two years after being caught with £250,000, known to be proceeds of crime.
Amazing. Why didn't I learn about him in school? @fancypants_s https://t.co/0uxZtSMYbI

The Liberal government leaned further into its emerging leadership role among the world’s middle powers, with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand telling a London audience that now is the country’s time to lead internationally.
Making the keynote address at the 2026 Chatham House Global Trade Conference on Thursday, Anand said that a country’s greatness stems not just from its domestic successes, but in providing leadership that benefits the world.

A year after protective hoarding was removed from the Ontario legislature’s statue of Sir John A. Macdonald, all monuments on the grounds are going under wraps to protect them from damage.
The move comes as MPPs return to Queen’s Park Monday for their spring session in the wake of a heated protest March 4 against Premier Doug Ford’s student financial aid cuts that saw a monument to Sir George Brown marred with graffiti.

President Donald Trump gave a shocking response when asked during his Oval Office meeting with the Japanese prime minister on Thursday why he didn’t reveal to allies his Iran war plans.
‘You don’t want to signal too much … we wanted surprise,’ Trump answered.
‘Who knows better about surprise than Japan?’ he said. ‘Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor!’
Japanese Reporter: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…like Japan, about the war before attacking Iran?"
President Trump: "We didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted SURPRISE. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

Defence Minister David McGuinty said he did not know about a strike on an air base in Kuwait where members of the Canadian Armed Forces were stationed until after it was first reported by a media outlet.
“No, I didn’t know about it before La Presse reported on it,” McGuinty said Thursday in a response to a question about whether he knew about the strike before the story was published, in a press conference in Kitchener, Ont.
That inspires confidence.

Weeks after CBC News identified two Indian nationals deported from Canada for serious criminality, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has identified the pair as proof of expanded efforts to disrupt extortion networks.
According to Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) records obtained by CBC News, Arshdeep Singh and Sukhnaaz Singh Sandhu were known to each other — and to the alleged “prime conspirator” behind a series of extortion-linked shootings at a Surrey, B.C., café.
Both men moved between provinces, wracking up run-ins with police at every stop.
An Afghan man has been charged after six people were allegedly attacked with a crowbar inside a hospital waiting room.
Omar Momand, 20, is also accused of damaging a counter at Newton Community Hospital in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, on December 30 last year.
It is understood the attack unfolded after the suspect went into the hospital to request an appointment, which was denied.
The story of Cesar Chavez is a tragedy.
Not because his legacy as a union leader is forever tarnished by his alleged abuse and rape of women and underage girls over several decades.
Rather, it is a tragedy that not one of his victims believed she could come forward until now.
Some of those molested and assaulted by Chavez were too frightened to speak out. Others worried that they would not be believed, or that they would be humiliated, or blamed. And others feared that telling the truth about Chavez would hurt the political movement he led.
