Flags of all stripes may be allowed to fly at Waterloo Catholic District School Board schools after a controversial motion was voted down Monday night.
Trustees were voting on a motion put forward by Trustee Conrad Stanley, proposing a ban on all flags except for the Canadian flag, Ontario flag and the school board’s flag.
Europe would struggle to collectively muster 25,000 troops to be part of a “deterrence” force in Ukraine because its armies are undermanned and underfunded, sources have disclosed.
The Times was given a rare insight into conversations between Europe’s defence ministers and military chiefs as they thrashed out plans for a “coalition of the willing” force.

The riding-rich, voter-dense Greater Toronto Area looked like a kingmaker for the Liberal Party once again in Monday’s federal vote, delivering a push for Mark Carney while dashing Conservative hopes of an urban breakthrough.
Liberal dominance in the GTA helped Liberals win the three previous general elections under Justin Trudeau, and new Liberal leader Carney looked to the region to buttress his party in a fourth consecutive term.
Serving member of elite corps who raised concerns about lowering of standards for female trainees claims he was treated ‘like a terrorist’
The Royal Marines have become embroiled in a row over the role of women on the front line.
In a highly unusual move, a serving member of the elite corps has publicly raised concerns about the possible lowering of standards for female trainees – and claimed that lives could be at risk if Britain goes to war.
The commando has claimed that up to 1,000 of his fellow Marines backed a private letter to military chiefs raising fears that so-called diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) policies were in danger of creating an “unrecognisable, weak and compromised version of the corps”.
OTTAWA — Only this campaign could have produced Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The former banker with the sober demeanor of a natural technocrat convinced millions of Canadians he was the guy to lead the nation amid an unprecedented onslaught of threats and ridicule from the brash President Donald Trump.
The Liberals won. Mark Carney returns as prime minister. He’ll get to name another cabinet, meet Parliament for the first time, govern if he can. But the result forecloses cheap gloating in ways I find satisfying. Canada is a country that wishes things were easy. Maybe they aren’t meant to be easy.
Woe is Canada.
With the election of liberal globalist Mark Carney, Canadians have effectively finished themselves off.
Apparently, the past decade of economic disaster and despair—courtesy of the self-same Liberal Party– was not enough for our friends in the Great White North.
This was not one election but two. For the Liberals and their supporters, this was an election, first and foremost, about Donald Trump, and his designs on Canada.
And so far as it was about Mr. Trump, and since it was unclear what, if anything, there was to be done about him, then it was about leadership, on which the Liberals happened to enjoy a decided advantage. Polls showed the public clearly preferred the Liberal Leader, Mark Carney, to the Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre.
While a comprehensive investigation will take weeks to complete, today’s massive power outages across Spain and Portugal present compelling evidence of the inherent vulnerability in renewable-heavy grids and likely offer a stark lesson in the dangers of sacrificing grid stability on the altar of green energy. While officials scramble to restore power to millions and politicians inevitably deflect blame, the catastrophic failure aligns perfectly with warnings that power grid experts have been sounding for years: systems with high penetrations of solar and wind generation have diminished mechanical inertia and are inherently vulnerable to collapse.
MONTREAL — The last thing Quebecers and Canadians want is instability in the federal Parliament, according to Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, calling on his federal counterparts to drop partisanship and work hand in hand to fight U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats.
“I do not see any other scenario than collaboration for at least a year,” said Blanchet during a somber press conference the morning after an “atypical election.”
Allo Yves-François Singh!
On one side there were thousands of working-class people waving the Irish tricolour and belting out the Irish national anthem. On the other there was a gaggle of Trinity thin kids and sun-starved lefties, the kind of people who put the soy into socialism. One was a witch (she / they) who was there to ‘protest against Nazi cunts’. They chanted about ‘revolution’ yet it looked like a strong gust of wind might take them out. ‘32 counties, 69 genders’, said one banner, which I think means they want a United Ireland in which people with cocks get to cosplay as lesbians. Ah, just as Pádraic Pearse envisioned.
That was the craziest election yet, and it wasn’t even over on Day 1 after the voting. The numbers were still changing Tuesday afternoon.
The Liberals picked up a Bloc Quebecois-leaning seat, raising their total to 169, three short of a majority.
The Conservatives won their highest percentage vote in decades but still lost badly. They’re 25 seats behind the governing Liberals.
The NDP is losing official party status after Canada’s election. Here’s what that means
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has claimed that the disgraced music mogul might not have been mentally capable of committing crimes due to his substance use.
Combs, 55, faces a minimum of 15 years in prison after being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and fraud. He is locked up without bail and his trial is set to begin May 5.
We still do not know the immediate cause of the massive power outage that impacted Spain, Portugal, and parts of southern France on Monday. But this has not impeded wild speculation, dubious explanations, and blame avoidance to deter discussion of the role played by the EU’s ‘Net Zero’ agenda and the cultural mindset that accompanies it.
The cultural mindset that dominates energy policy today reflects a dystopian outlook that views human development—the ‘human footprint’—as the problem rather than the potential solution. We are told that the development of industry and technology must be measured in units of carbon, which should be reduced rather than expanded.
