The shameful silence over Nigeria’s Palm Sunday massacre

For Christians around the world, Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, in commemoration of the entrance of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.

On Palm Sunday this year, on Saturday 29 March, Christians in the city of Jos in northern Nigeria’s Plateau State saw AK-wielding jihadists enter their city on motorbike. Dozens were then slaughtered. One local leader told me of the pain of praying with a single mother whose 17-year-old son was murdered. Another woman was pregnant when she was shot dead.

Jesse Kline: Like the NDP, public grocery stores are always a miserable failure

From Air Canada to the CBC to Petro-Canada, this country has a long history of costly government adventures in private enterprise that provide little-to-no-benefit to consumers. But NDP Leader Avi Lewis’s proposal for a network of state-run supermarkets and Toronto city council’s recent vote to green-light a pilot project for four municipal grocery stores shows that Canada is a place where bad ideas never die.

The Architecture of Jihad

“I do not write in hypotheticals,” writes Aynaz Anni Cyrus. “My standards are documentary and forensic: names, filings, public statements, organizational ties, court records, financial flows, and observable outcomes.” And it’s true. In her important new book, The Architecture of Jihad: Inside the Ideology, Law, and Global Strategy Driving Islam’s Multi-Front Expansion, Cyrus sets out in clear and precise terms, along with abundant documentation, the many methods modern-day Islamic jihadis are using in order to attain their goals of destroying the Judeo-Christian West and restoring the global caliphate.

John Ivison: Liberals shove Canada into China’s menacing embrace

Canada’s finance minister was in Beijing late last week looking to deepen financial sector ties with China. Francois-Philippe Champagne said he was building on the strategic partnership deal signed between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping “with eyes wide open.”

A more appropriate ophthalmological analogy would have been to say that Canada will henceforth turn a blind eye to Beijing’s excesses.

Would Confirming the Existence of Aliens Shock Humanity?

On Feb. 19, 2026, President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP)—the official term now used for what were once called UFOs. The order calls for agencies to locate and release records tied to UAP investigations, including materials addressing evidence of potential nonhuman intelligence, fueling worldwide curiosity about what the U.S. government may reveal after decades of unexplained aerial events.

Food security expert urges Canada to invest in agriculture, not just military capabilities

An international expert in global food security is visiting Canada this week to urge officials to continue investing in agriculture, warning that the continued Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has upended supply chains in the middle of planting season in many countries.

Ismahane Elouafi, the executive managing director of the world’s largest publicly funded agricultural research network, CGIAR, said the closing of the strait is driving up the prices of oil and fertilizer, which means less productivity, higher costs for farmers and rising food prices − economic pain that will be felt a few weeks from now.

France’s Fuel Shortages Expose Europe’s New Energy Crisis

12% of French petrol stations have run out of at least one type of fuel. The French government insists there is no nationwide shortage and no supply crisis. Officials describe the problem as a series of “local and temporary logistical tensions,” concentrated mainly in the network of TotalEnergies’ service stations.

But the figure matters because of what it reveals. Europe’s new energy crisis, triggered by the war with Iran and rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, is no longer an abstract geopolitical risk. It is beginning to affect ordinary life.

BARCLAY: Carney’s blarney and the collapse of Canada’s economy

On March 25, Prime Minister Mark Carney claimed that “affordability is the best that it’s been in over a decade.”

Unfortunately, Carney’s claims are simply untrue and merely another aspect of the Potemkin nation that Carney and his Liberal government have sought to substitute for Canadian society.

The Left Is Baffled—but Still Repulsed—by the White Working Class

Democrats can rebrand candidates, but they cannot hide a long record of condescension toward the very working-class voters they now need to win back.

After failing to win Congress and the presidency in 2024, the Democrats conducted an internal postmortem of what went wrong. While they predictably did not divulge the full results, everyone knew what they had found.

Their obsessions with the low side of 30/70 issues had especially alienated Democrats from white middle- and working-class voters. Yet middle-class whites still comprise about 40–50 percent of the population and are perhaps overrepresented in voter turnout.

Nearly 50% of all violent offences go unpunished in Canada—why police are solving fewer crimes

Recent months have seen a wave of extortion attempts targeting business owners in British Columbia and Ontario, with some involving arson and even shootings. As a response, police task forces and the Canada Border Services Agency have stepped up efforts to crack down on organized crime, amid concerns that many extortion incidents are going unreported. These developments come as Canada faces rising violent crime and a growing public debate about safety. They raise a pressing question: how many crimes are actually being solved?

The Iran Rescue: The Payoff of Painful Lessons

The well-deserved accolades have already been given, although there will be yet another round when the medal citations have been written, and the heroes summoned for their ceremonial presentations. There will be many such, all well-earned, because the rescue of the two downed F-15 crew represents a remarkable achievement, both heroic on-the-ground performance and masterful leadership up and down the chain of command.

Almost a third of police probes of diplomatic missions see subjects leave Canada

OTTAWA – Almost a third of police investigations involving members of foreign diplomatic missions in Canada between 2020 and 2025 saw the subjects of the probes leave the country before their cases could be resolved through the legal process.

Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through an access to information request list 67 incidents involving members of foreign missions that required police involvement over that time period.

In 22 of those cases, the person facing the criminal allegations left Canada before charges could be laid or the court process was completed.

More Canadians willing to serve in Armed Forces during major conflict, poll suggests

An increasing percentage of Canadians say that they would be willing to serve in the Armed Forces if Canada were involved in a major conflict, suggests a new poll.

The public opinion survey, conducted by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail, also shows that a majority of respondents said they have a positive view of the military and would support a friend or family member joining the Canadian Forces. Most respondents agreed that the military is a good career option for young people today.

Better than a poke in the eye I guess …
