The Trump administration is considering three potential areas for the absorption of refugee Gazans after President Donald Trump announced that the US plans to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate those currently there to rebuild the area, N12 reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the areas being considered are Morocco, Puntland, and Somaliland.
Anarcho-tyranny is rising
Policing is an acronym-rich occupation. Among the rank and file, the most popular is “TJF” — “The Job’s Fucked”. Senior officers have long viewed such cynicism as mere shop-floor griping. Policing, after all, has never enjoyed harmonious industrial relations. Frontline officers can’t strike, and support staff who can are currently staging a two-week walk out because they can’t work from home. But since the rape gang scandal, it’s become clear that the rot goes far deeper than bickering over conditions, let alone the hardy perennials of corruption or racism.
Talk to officers, and there really is an “end of days” feeling at stations up and down the land. If, to put it bluntly, we failed the victims at Rotherham and Telford and a hundred other places so catastrophically, how can we ever recover, either professionally or in our relationship with the public? The answer must begin with reform. No — not another report, but genuine change, a red-tape-cutting Trumpian revolution everywhere from the law to leadership, which together can expunge 30 years of failure, and finally build a service fit for the 21st century.
In recent weeks, Canada has faced an unprecedented level of uncertainty, driven by federal politics, domestic policy debates, and major international trade tensions—especially the disruptive potential of tariffs.
A leading index of economic policy uncertainty, updated to include January 2025, shows Canada hitting a record high—surpassing even the peak uncertainty of the early COVID-19 months.
This won’t stop the Lib-left wrapping themselves in the flag in manipulative display of faux patriotism as all scoundrels do.
They hope we forget the past 10 years of LPC-NDP rule, the most destructive to Canada in our history.
The Star interviews Ross Douthat, NYTimes “Conservative”
“Ross Douthat is a rational man. During his decade and a half at the New York Times — where he writes a weekly column and newsletter and co-hosts the Matter of Opinion podcast — he has become one of America’s most prominent public intellectuals. He’s also a conservative and a Catholic. In his new book, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious (out February 11), he claims that, even in our disenchanted age, arguments for the existence of God are at least as strong as they’ve ever been. In a conversation that has been edited for clarity and length, we spoke about the relationship between science and faith, the future of secular humanism, and why Donald Trump is a man of destiny (although not necessarily in a good way).”
Liberal leadership hopeful Karina Gould said she doesn’t yet have the money to stay in the race, but is working hard to meet what she calls “an extremely aggressive fundraising deadline.”
To compete to become the next Liberal leader, and by extension Canada’s next prime minister, candidates need to pay $350,000, made in instalments. A major chunk, $125,000, is due at 5 p.m Friday.
OTTAWA — Two federal cabinet ministers and several Liberal MPs have signed their names to a statement condemning as “ethnic cleansing” U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians out of Gaza into neighbouring Arab countries.
Justice Minister Arif Virani and International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen say they also support their government’s response that Canada supports two states, Israel and Palestinian.

What a week — and get used to it. If there’s one lesson from recent events, it’s that tariffs are now the new normal, whether we like it or not.
In just a few weeks, the United States under President Donald Trump has leveraged tariffs to escalate tensions with several countries, including Colombia, Mexico, and, of course, Canada. Critics argue that no country has caved to U.S. pressure, but the reality is quite different. We have.

The Biden administration created intentional loopholes that allowed foreign aid to ultimately end up in the hands of terrorist organizations.
A flurry of executive orders and the specter of a reorganization of USAID have focused attention on a sphere of policy in need of reform. In addition to the often-cited issue of wasted tax dollars, serious matters such as terror financing and support for violence and incitement are deeply embedded in the debate over aid reform.
The Jan. 20 executive order, establishing the current “90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance for assessment of programmatic efficiencies and consistency with United States foreign policy,” emphasizes the urgency of tackling this issue.
This is the biggest SCAM ever on the American tax payers.
USAID was able to hide it during Trump’s first term. Thank God he hired Elon to dig up the dirt. Nothing will get past @DOGE Nothing!!! pic.twitter.com/gMZ72glHW0

Every era has its grifters, gurus, quacks and frauds.
This is an American tradition, from the snake oil salesmen to the pyramid schemers to the New Age prophets of the 20th century.
One might be tempted to dismiss them as ethically compromised, duping the gullible for personal benefit, but they’re something more than that: symbols of each generation’s hopes and anxieties.
A man who briefly headed the Canadian Human Rights Commissioner has filed defamation lawsuits against the deputy Conservative leader, media personality Ezra Levant and a leading Jewish group for statements he claims “characterized him as an antisemitic, terrorist supporter.”
Birju Dattani claims in the lawsuits that during the summer of 2024 he became the subject of an online and media campaign. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman and Levant have been named as defendants in a set of three similar lawsuits.
The Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has responded to US President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip by threatening to resort to violence against Americans.
In a statement, Hamas said that the Palestinians will “confront the plan with resistance and necessary force.”

Well, that didn’t take very long.
Just about 24 hours after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that U.S. President Donald Trump would be delaying his 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports by at least 30 days, and right after Trudeau proclaimed Canadians are “more united than ever,” Quebec Premier Francois Legault insisted there was no way his province would accept a pipeline being built across its land.
“I have so much money now that I could hire someone to kill you, and nobody would know. No-one would miss you. No-one would know anything.”
Former music executive Daniel Evans says he can still remember the threat from his old boss, Sean “Diddy” Combs – then known as Puff Daddy – to a colleague. It was 1997, he says, in the New York office of Combs’s Grammy Award-winning music label Bad Boy Records.
“It was like, this is what money does to you,” he says.
