The Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) is responding to online reaction after images circulating on social media appeared to show a sniper positioned above crowds during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Waterloo.
WRPS confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the crowd Saturday was indeed a Waterloo Regional Police officer, but at first did not answer questions about why one was deployed.
Israel says it has killed a linchpin of Iranian politics, the national security chief, Ali Larijani, in overnight strikes, a claim that if confirmed would make him the most senior Iranian figure to die in the war since the supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed on its first day.
Iran has yet to comment on either claim. If confirmed, Larijani’s death would remove a pivotal figure at the heart of the regime’s political and security establishment at a moment of acute crisis and represent devastating blow.
Or he could have emigrated to Canada which is the more likely possibility.
This monster may have been Offed too.

But it doesn’t seize private land and give it to the Musqueam, either
The recent agreement between the Government of Canada and the Musqueam Nation in B.C. recognizing Musqueam rights and title “within” much of Metro Vancouver has elusive qualities. Those discussing it have struggled to know what to make of it and have ended up with some polarized depictions of it.
Both sides’ versions have problems.
Iran’s new supreme leader survived the Israeli strike that killed his father because he stepped outside the compound for a walk in the garden minutes before the blast, according to a new report.
Leaked audio from a meeting about the Feb. 28 strike on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s compound revealed that his son, the new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, was with his father in Tehran when he stepped out “to do something,” The Telegraph reported.

OTTAWA — As Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre spends the week garnering support for Canada south of the border, his Conservatives continue to lose ground against the Mark Carney Liberals.
In new poll numbers published Monday by Liaison Strategies, the Mark Carney Liberals now maintain a 14 percentage point lead over the Conservatives — commanding 45% support among those polled.
Donald Trump today said he was ‘not happy’ with Britain and ‘very surprised’ over its response to the Iran war as he launched a fresh attack on Keir Starmer.
In his latest broadside, the US President said the UK ‘should be involved enthusiastically’ with helping American forces reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran is blockading the vital sea passage out of the Persian Gulf, stemming the flow of oil and gas from the Middle East and pushing up energy prices across the globe.
End of NATO?

On March 5, the body of Masood Majoody was found. Majoody was a mathematics professor at Simon Fraser University but was also a vocal critic of the theocratic Iranian regime. He went missing in February 2026, and foul play was suspected. Sure enough, police have now arrested and charged two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members, Mehdi Razavi and Arezou Soltani, with his murder.
The war in Iran has come to Canada. IRGC collaborators are being charged with the murder.
Carney loves Shia values.

Two-thirds of asylum seekers who entered Germany last year had no proof of identity. Almost all refugees from African countries were unable to present any identifying documents, according to asylum figures released by the Federal Ministry of the Interior.
Authorities registered 113,236 refugees over the age of 18 who applied for asylum for the first time last year. According to the Interior Ministry, 74,089 of them had no identity documents. That represents 65.4%, the highest percentage ever recorded.

The Ontario government has confirmed it is cutting provincial funding for seven supervised drug consumption sites, days after harm reduction advocates said they were notified of the decision.
The province says it will initiate a 90-day wind-down period to give those using the sites time to transition to the government’s abstinence-based model — homelessness and addiction recovery treatment, or HART, hubs.

Less than a month ago Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said his “approach to immigration is very simple.”
“Legal? Good. Illegal? Bad,” Cruz said.
But a series of recent terrorist attacks proves that legal immigration can be just as dangerous as illegal immigration.
