Conrad Black: The West is winning again
With all the controversy over the fast-moving war in Iran, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the world balance of power and international correlation of forces are shifting in favour of the western democracies. Since the reinstallation of the present U.S. administration less than 14 months ago, fentanyl and other drug traffic, much of it originating in China, into the United States has been drastically reduced. Venezuela has been eliminated as a link in that chain and the U.S. armed forces are co-operating with a revived Mexican government effort to subdue the violent gangs in northern Mexico, blunting their traffic in slaves and narcotics freely into the United States. The entry of undocumented immigrants and particularly violent criminals (of whom hundreds of thousands were admitted in the previous four years), has nearly stopped.
French police detain brothers over ‘lethal and antisemitic’ plot
French anti-terror prosecutors have opened an investigation into two brothers suspected of plotting a “lethal and antisemitic” attack.
They say the men – described as Moroccan-Italian nationals aged 20 and 22 – were picked up last week in a car in northern France.
Officers found a loaded semi-automatic weapon, a bottle of hydrochloric acid and a flag of the Islamic State group in the vehicle, the prosecutors say.
The conservative takeover of Ontario schools
With York Catholic becoming the eighth school board to be placed under provincial supervision, we are now in a situation where over one-third of all students in Ontario are attending schools under direct provincial control.
It started with public uproar after the Thames Valley District School Board released expenses showing it had sent its senior staff (not trustees) to a $40,000 retreat in Toronto. While this type of planning and team building exercise is common for executives in the private sector, the idea of public sector workers enjoying a similar perk often provokes resentment and outrage.
2 minutes of research provides all you need to know about education in Ontario.
It’s a wasteful Uber-Woke commie cesspit with a consistent record of poor student outcomes.
Trump’s Iran War Ending Xi Jinping’s ‘China Dream’
American and Israeli strikes have severely degraded Iran’s ability to wage war.
Perhaps more important, they are finishing off Xi Jinping’s most cherished narrative of the “China Dream” of national rejuvenation and dominance. In Beijing these days, just about everyone knows China’s arrogant leader was wrong about the long-term direction of the United States.
Housing affordability has been improving. It’s not enough and may not last much longer
Canada’s housing market is waking up for the spring selling season, but young prospective homebuyers would be justified to remain in a state of prolonged hibernation.
For over two years homes in much of the country have been getting more affordable, thanks to a mix of softer prices and, later, falling interest rates. The problem is that, for the most part, we are still nowhere close to pre-pandemic levels of affordability. With the exception of condos, owning a home remains far more expensive than it was before the last housing boom.
Pentagon tightens control of Stars and Stripes after blasting it as ‘woke’
The Defense Department outlined a sweeping “modernization” effort for Stars and Stripes, the independent military newspaper, according to an internal memo reviewed by The Washington Post, following up on a promise made in January to overhaul the publication and rid it of “woke distractions.”
The memo, sent by Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen A. Feinberg on March 9, says the newspaper “must modernize to remain relevant and viable” in the digital age. It also introduces an “interim policy” governing the newspaper effective immediately that Feinberg says replaces previous Pentagon instructions. That policy restricts the use of wire services and says that content in the paper, known as Stripes, must be consistent with “good order and discipline,” a phrase used in military justice.
Withdrawn charges in Stronach sex assault trial raise questions about prosecution
When his trial began in February, Frank Stronach faced 12 counts related to seven female complainants whose allegations included sexual assault and the historical charges of rape and attempted rape.
Now, with all the evidence heard and closing submissions set for the end of the month, those charges have been whittled down to seven — related to four of the initial seven complainants.
That the Crown has decided to drop five charges, and discard the testimony of three complainants, has raised some questions about the initial strength of some of their cases and whether enough was done beforehand to anticipate potential problems.
Top US allies are turning toward China instead. Blame Trump.
The 21st century is more likely to belong to Beijing than to Washington — at least that’s the view from four key U.S. allies.
Swaths of the public in Canada, Germany, France and the U.K. have soured on the U.S., driven by President Donald Trump’s foreign policy decisions, according to recent results from The POLITICO Poll.
End of Alberta independence petition drive draws near, as experts weigh in on outcome of voters backing separation
CALGARY – With about six weeks left to collect signatures, supporters of Alberta independence are working to gather enough names on a citizen-led petition that could trigger a province-wide referendum on whether Alberta should separate from Canada.
But even if the campaign succeeds and a majority of voters backed separation in a referendum, constitutional experts say the vote would only begin what could be a long and complicated process of negotiations with Ottawa, the provinces, and Indigenous nations.
Israel claims brother of Michigan synagogue attacker was Hezbollah commander
Israel’s military claimed on Sunday that the brother of the recent Michigan synagogue attacker was a Hezbollah commander responsible for managing weapons in a unit that has launched “hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians”.
In a statement posted on X, the IDF claimed that Ibrahim Mohamad Ghazali – brother of Ayman Mohamad Ghazali – was a Hezbollah commander within a specialized branch of the Badr unit.
I spoke to over 30 sources about Mark Carney’s first year as prime minister. This is the picture that emerged
“Let the party begin.”
That’s how Mark Carney started his first press conference after being sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister, on March 14, 2025, after a whirlwind leadership contest.
Weeks earlier, he’d jettisoned an emblem of the Liberals’ brand by promising to scrap the consumer carbon price, describing himself — as he does now — as a “pragmatist” tied to results, not dogma.
Usual Star Tongue Bath.
American Socialists To Join New Cuba Aid Flotilla Despite Hints of Negotiations Aimed at Ousting Communist Leadership
As President Trump tightens the screws on Cuba’s Communist government, its leadership is winning support from Democratic Socialists in America, who are sending an entourage down to the island nation next week to show solidarity with Cuba’s dictatorial regime. The Democratic Socialists of America announced that 20 DSA members will join an international group of humanitarians, the so-called Nuestra América Convoy, which says it is delivering critical aid to Cuba amid an economic and energy crisis caused by America’s blockade of fuel, flights, and other essential supplies.
OMG that little weirdo Greta Thunberg has moved on from GAZA and is now attacking President Trump because he wants to free the people of CUBA.

US may strike Kharg Island again ‘just for fun,’ Trump says
President Donald Trump revealed that he may launch more strikes on Kharg Island, Iran‘s oil lifeline that he just bombed on Friday night.
The U.S. military targeted Iran’s military in the strike on Kharg, hitting 90 different targets including naval mine storage facilities and missile storage bunkers, according to U.S. Central Command. Trump said the strikes “totally obliterated” Iran’s military on the island, calling the operation “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East.”
