Doug Ford government moving to ‘modernize’ freedom of information laws to shield politicians from scrutiny

Doug Ford’s government is moving to exempt ministers and the premier from the public scrutiny of access to information laws.

In a controversial move Friday, Business Minister Stephen Crawford announced the third-term Progressive Conservatives were “modernizing Ontario’s privacy protections and bringing the province’s technology practices into the 21st century.”

But the amendments, which will be introduced after the legislature resumes March 23, mean “excluding the records of the premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and their offices under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).”

Raided Over a Tweet: Munich Prosecutors Target AfD Lawmaker for Digital “Incitement”

Statement regarding the house search: I will take action against this political witch hunt.

The boundary between digital satire and criminal conduct has become the focal point of a major legal dispute in Munich, as authorities conducted a morning raid on the home and parliamentary office of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) lawmaker René Dierkes.


Evidently it is about a tweet made two years ago by an individual no longer employed by the politician.

I learned a cool new word. Hexenjagd = witch hunt.

Will the Conservative Party ever protect the unborn? Canada’s top pro-life activist weighs in

LifeSiteNews recently sat down for an interview with Jack Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition, the largest and most significant pro-life group in all of Canada. The group facilitates major pro-life events including Life Chain, 40 Days For Life, and the March For Life. In his position, Jack oversees the responsibility of electing pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Christian candidates across Canada. Jack is a devoted Catholic, father, and quietly one of Canada’s most important figures in the pro-life movement. In this discussion, Jack holds nothing back in discussing the evils of the left-wing abortion movement, the failure of the Conservative opposition, and the strategy behind turning Canada into a pro-life country once again.

Trump Needs To Prepare Americans For What Comes Next In Iran

It’s been nearly two weeks since the Trump administration launched a war against Iran, and President Trump is beginning to signal that he wants to wind it down. On Monday, he said “we’re way ahead of schedule,” and that the war would be over “very soon.” On Wednesday during a speech in Kentucky, Trump off-handedly declared “we’ve won,” and said it was all over “in the first hour.”

It’s understandable that Trump would be eyeing a quick end to the war, given spiking oil prices, growing public opposition to the war, and criticism from his MAGA base. But at this point it’s looking less and less like the president will simply be able to declare victory and walk away, however politically desirable that might be.

Closing Debate on Ottawa’s Anti-Hate Bill Risks Undermining Canada’s Religious Freedom

I am writing as a concerned citizen to express my profound concern over the federal government’s March 9, 2026, move to close debate on Bill C-9, Ottawa’s anti-hate bill.

As recently reported by the National Post, Khaled Al-Qazzaz, executive director of the Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council, said he and other Muslim groups representing hundreds of Muslim organizations opposed the bill and felt “ambushed” by the government’s decision to limit further debate.

Is this just a Gulf war? Or the start of World War III?

Ten questions help us discern whether the present war on Iran will be an iteration of previous Middle East conflicts or the start of something much worse

Four years ago, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I recall being asked if it was the beginning of the World War III. Today, two weeks into the latest war on Iran, the same question comes up. It is not foolish to ask.

Unlike World War I, which began in 1914 when all the European empires more or less simultaneously activated their war plans, World War II was in truth a series of regional conflicts that did not converge into a unitary global conflict until the end of 1941. We have seen war break out in eastern Europe in 2022 and then in the Middle East in 2023.

The most recent US-Israeli onslaught on Iran may look to future historians like a staging post to a global conflagration. I stress “may”. Because they may also write about Gulf War III. The better ones may see that this can be understood only in the context of Cold War II. But World War III?

Families of Canadians who received MAID talk of rushed assessment, not being told of decision: study

Rushed, incomplete assessments, families kept in the dark, loved ones driven to choose MAID because of unbearable suffering.

A new study adds to growing evidence that Canadian families’ experiences with doctor-assisted death are deeply mixed, with some describing the experience as raw, traumatic and surreal — including sometimes oddly “cheerful” providers — and others describing caring and compassionate deaths for loved ones who’d “had enough.”

We the People Never Voted for Mass Islamic Immigration

Societal transformation without representation.

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.”

Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.
