Ontario Premier Doug Ford is indicating that Highway 401 could be designated as a special economic zone, allowing the province to fast-track its plans to construct a transit and traffic tunnel beneath it, while sidestepping a raft of environmental and municipal laws.
The province is currently in the process of passing Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, legislation it introduced to speed up mining projects in the north.

Britain wants to purchase fighter jets capable of firing tactical nuclear weapons, in a major expansion of the deterrent intended to counter the growing threat posed by Russia.
Sir Keir Starmer’s government is in highly sensitive talks over the move, which would represent the biggest development in the UK’s deterrent since the Cold War and a recognition that the world has entered a more dangerous nuclear era.
John Healey, the defence secretary, and Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the armed forces, are looking to acquire American-made fighter jets capable of launching gravity bombs with lower power than conventional nukes.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise that his government will “spend less and invest more” is the same sort of fiscal flimflammery as Justin Trudeau’s claim in 2014 that as prime minister he would grow the economy and “the budget will balance itself.”
Hundreds of people have been arrested in Paris following clashes with police, after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans celebrated their club’s victory in the Champions League final.
Officers arrested nearly 300 people after clashes broke out near the city’s Champs-Elysees avenue and PSG’s Parc des Princes stadium, where nearly 50,000 people had watched the 5-0 win against Inter Milan in Munich on big screens.
Flares and fireworks were set off, bus shelters were smashed and cars were torched amid the wild celebrations.

Speaking to reporters after the speech from the throne on Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre struck a decidedly institutionalist tone.
“We joined today in thanking His Majesty for coming to Canada and delivering the throne speech, reinforcing our ancient, great British liberties,” he said. “A parliamentary system that goes back 800 years. A system that has served Canada well and has been the foundation of what I love to call the Canadian promise.”
A Conservative praising the monarch might not seem unusual. Former foreign affairs minister John Baird, a close ally of Poilievre’s, once demanded that his department hang a portrait of the Queen in the foyer of its headquarters.
So far Carney has kept the LPC tradition of lying intact, about Orange Man, about Housing, about spending, about immigration, about China etc etc etc…
Populism will kill him.
As the trial opens for the man accused of stabbing young Matisse to death on April 24th last year, the case is one in a series of crimes that have become symbols for a disturbing trend in France. A new report submitted to the government highlights the sharp rise in attacks with bladed weapons, many committed by increasingly younger perpetrators—some of them minors. The authorities seem completely powerless to stop this dramatic trend.
It was a gracious gesture for King Charles III and Queen Camilla to come to Ottawa for 24 hours to open Parliament and symbolize Canada‘s close relations with the United Kingdom and other senior Commonwealth nations, but the speech from the throne was so general, we might have reserved the distinction of Their Majesties’ presence for a more substantive policymaking occasion. There was a pledge to make housing more affordable many years after what should have been the starting date for such a policy before millions of otherwise welcome immigrants were admitted to the country, furthering an acute housing shortage among Canadians of modest income. It was also good to hear the King state, on behalf of the federal government, the determination to protect and advance the rights of all Canadians. It would have been useful and pleasing to know if this included a departure from the federal government’s policy of passivity toward Quebec’s suppression of the English language in that province.
The coastguard had to issue an urgent appeal for fishing boats to assist a yacht and kayaks in trouble in the English Channel because all Border Force vessels and lifeboats were occupied rescuing migrants.
The appeal was made on Saturday morning as Border Force, coastguard, RNLI and several French vessels dealt with an estimated 15 small boats bearing migrants attempting to cross the Channel. The ships involved include two patrol craft, four Border Force vessels, seven French vessels, a warship and two lifeboats.
The yacht had issued an alert when it started taking on water.
In February 2025, the New Republic, reported there were a growing number of Americans who wanted to leave the country following the election of Donald Trump.
Canadian reports backed up the assertion, particularly the news that three high-profile Yale professors would be joining the faculty of the University of Toronto in the fall of 2025.
I suspect that after belated investigations Americans “Fleeing to Canada” realized Trudeau their progressive boyfriend in waiting had turned the Great White North into a 3rd World Dumpster fire.
WEST MIFFLIN, Pennsylvania — Local steelworkers, community leaders and economic experts said President Donald Trump’s announcement Friday that a deal was struck between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel will go down in American history as the most enduring economic “big, beautiful deal” the 47th president has made.
Canada reaffirmed its close military ties with the U.S. and spoke in support of President Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence system, which Ottawa is thinking about joining.
“From a defence perspective and on the military side, I collaborate very, very closely with my U.S. counterparts,” General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff, said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Friday. She was responding to a question on whether Washington remains a reliable partner.
Well, Canada’s electric vehicle policies are playing out exactly as I predicted. Which is to say, they’re a disaster.
Back in November, in the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s re-election, I wrote in these pages that, whatever else that election might mean for Canada, it would prove big trouble for the Justin Trudeau/Doug Ford EV scam.
The media is obviously bad in the sense that it is deeply dishonest propaganda, but along the way it also became bad in the sense that it consists of people who call themselves journalists but have no actual skills like checking their facts (as distinct from ‘fact-checking’ conservatives to argue that the Hunter Biden laptops aren’t real and that Joe Biden is just fine) and are incapable of doing anything except pushing political narratives…

Europe must take note, ban Sharia law, and reshape its refugee and migrant policy, keeping in mind the tyrannical nature of Islam.
A new report by Open Doors, an international human rights organization that monitors Christian persecution on a global scale, confirms that Christianity is the world’s most persecuted religion. Except for North Korea, where the source of persecution is Communist and Post-Communist oppression, the cause of persecution in the other top 10 countries is mainly Islamic oppression.
Every year, Open Doors releases its “World Watch” report of the 50 states that persecute Christians. According to the organization’s 2025 report, more than 380 million Christians across the world suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination because of their faith.
