Who has asked Trump for a ceasefire?

Trump says “Iran’s New Regime President” has asked him for a ceasefire.

It is not clear who he is referring to.

Since the US and Israel began air strikes on Iran on 28 February, a number of senior Iranian leaders have been killed, including the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Oil price falls and markets rally after Trump says Iran war over in ‘two to three weeks’

Oil prices tumbled and stock markets have rallied across the world after Donald Trump said the war in Iran would end in “two to three weeks”.

Brent crude, an international benchmark for oil, fell as low as $98.35 a barrel on Wednesday, down more than 15% on the previous day and its lowest level in a week. It later recovered some ground, down 2.5% on the day at $101.

Trump’s threatened to leave Nato before – but this time he’s angrier at alliance members

Of all the warnings in President Trump’s arsenal, leaving the Nato military alliance is among those he’s wielded the most. He almost did it in his first term.

Nato’s former chief Jens Stoltenberg said “we saw clear signs that Trump was preparing to act on his threat”, in his recent memoir On My Watch.

Stoltenberg recounted how he went on Fox News and credited Trump with pressuring Nato allies to increase their military spending.

CBC Offers Praise To Great Helmsman Xi: How China is charging forward with EV adoption as Canada prepares to welcome its cars

Hundreds of robots hum on a factory floor in Ningbo, just south of Shanghai, their long arms swooping and twisting, welding together different models of custom-ordered electric vehicles (EVs).

Robots also move briskly in the corridors delivering parts to different areas of the plant, playing elevator music to alert the few humans who work there to their presence.

This “dark factory” — where the lights don’t need to be on for the work to be completed, such is the extent of its automation — produces Zeekr vehicles, a luxury EV line owned by Geely, which is also the parent company of Volvo and Polestar.


On the one hand you have the CBC shilling for CCP EV’s like it was the Canadian edition of the China Daily pointing out they are almost untouched by human hands.

That unfortunately negates the parallel LPC narrative that our new CCP masters will build vast EV manufacturing plants in Canada employing many grateful Elbow People.

The story of this Great Elbow Forward  forgets to mention that the EV supply chain in glorious China is rife with slave labour!  


Just in … Mass robotaxi malfunction halts traffic in Chinese city

A mass robotaxi outage in the Chinese city of Wuhan caused at least a hundred self-driving cars to stop mid-traffic, sparking renewed debate around the safety of driverless vehicles.

Local police said initial findings suggested a “system malfunction” caused multiple vehicles to stop in the middle of the road on Tuesday.

Videos on social media have documented the outage, with one appearing to show it resulting in a highway collision, although police said no injuries had been reported and passengers exited their vehicles safely.

Canada’s Iran War Stance Not Impacting US Relations, Formal Trade Talks to Start in ‘Due Course’: Minister Leblanc

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says relations between Ottawa and Washington have not been impacted by their differing stances on the Iran war.

U.S. President Donald Trump in recent days has publicly criticized some allied countries for not facilitating U.S. military operations or for not playing a role in helping restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

LeBlanc told reporters in Ottawa on March 30 he would not comment on that specific matter, while adding that Canada’s stance has “not been an impediment at all” during talks with U.S. officials.

UK Police Scale Back ‘Hate’ Investigations

Britain’s Labour home secretary has confirmed that police will no longer investigate most alleged ‘hateful’ comments, although concerns remain over existing database records and whether the new approach still risks undermining free speech.

The recording of so-called ‘non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHI)—statements believed to be “motivated by prejudice” but that don’t meet the criteria for criminal offences—has been under fire for some time, especially following high-profile cases, such as the one involving comedy writer Graham Linehan.

Montreal terror suspect linked to al-Qaida evaluated at psychiatric institute

A Montrealer who served time in the past for providing support to the terrorist group al-Qaida — and who was charged last year for allegedly threatening to kill many people in Montreal — could be found criminally responsible for his actions if his case does eventually go to trial, a psychiatrist has determined.

Hegseth calls on US allies to ‘step up’ over Strait of Hormuz

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has called on allies to “step up” over the Strait of Hormuz, echoing earlier comments from President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday morning, Trump wrote on social media to tell countries to “go get your own oil”, adding that “the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us”.

Hegseth reiterated the president’s view during a news conference on Tuesday, saying it was not just the job of the US to secure what he called a “critical waterway”.

Michael Higgins: What have the Liberals, and the CBC, got against women?

As the world slowly comes to terms with restoring the rights of women, the Carney government seems intent on perpetuating discrimination against females.

The International Olympic Committee, once steadfast in its bizarre commitment to opening up the female sporting category to all and sundry, is the latest organization to see the light.

Carney’s Government Is Not Failing to See China’s Threat. It Is Choosing to Look Away.

OTTAWA — During my years in the RCMP, I dealt with organized crime, national security threats, and foreign actors who sought to exploit Canada’s openness. We understood something fundamental: threats rarely announce themselves plainly. They operate in the grey space—deniable, incremental, and often dismissed until it is too late.

What concerns me today is not just that foreign interference is happening. It is that Canada still seems reluctant to call it what it is—particularly when it involves the Chinese Communist Party.

King Charles’s state visit to US will be ‘humiliation’ amid Iran war

King Charles will go ahead with a state visit to the US in April, Buckingham Palace has confirmed, despite some politicians saying the trip will be a “humiliation” while Donald Trump’s war with Iran is ongoing.

MPs have privately expressed concerns there is potential to embarrass the king if the US president continues his criticisms of the UK’s armed forces before or during the trip.

The chair of the foreign affairs select committee, Emily Thornberry, is among those who have said there should be a delay while the war continues, although the Foreign Office has said it is intended to mark the 250th anniversary of US independence.
