Six years ago, an Order-in-Council (OIC) banned more than 2,500 models of what Ottawa calls “assault-style” firearms. That OIC included common hunting and sporting rifles that were owned, stored, and used legally.
In January 2026, Mark Carney’s Liberal government finally launched its long-promised “Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program.”
Whatever one’s view of the so-called ‘special relationship’ between the United Kingdom and the United States (and I, for one, think it’s non-existent and embarrassing), the UK’s refusal to support American action against Iran marks a troubling moment in British foreign policy. The decision to prevent the United States from using joint UK-U.S. bases while simultaneously (and endlessly) stressing Britain’s non-involvement signals a government more concerned with internal community relations than strategic reality.
Mark Carney refuses to ‘categorically’ rule out military involvement in Middle East conflict
CANBERRA—Prime Minister Mark Carney now says he won’t rule out future military involvement in the spiralling Middle East conflict.
Speaking in the Australian capital, Carney appeared to harden Canada’s stance on the war, saying it’s too soon to call for an immediate ceasefire because it is not clear whether the objectives to knock out Iran’s nuclear program and support for terrorist groups have been achieved.
Asked whether Canada could get involved militarily, Carney said he could not “categorically” rule that out.
Yea? You and whose army?
The Left often has no idea what causes they’re supporting, and we’ve all seen interviews from independent journalists asking Leftist protesters to articulate their stance on issues like Israel and Gaza, only to have the Lefty hem and haw and trip over their own words. That’s because the cause is never the cause. The ultimate goal is simply the destruction of Western Civilization in general and America in particular, and Leftists will cling to any movement they think might help them.
When president George H.W. Bush went to war against Iraq in 1991, he sought and won the consent of the Congress of the United States. Resolutions authorizing military force passed the House, by a margin of 250 to 183, and the Senate, 52-47.
Mr. Bush had earlier secured the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 678. The cause was clear and compelling: to repel Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The coalition in support numbered 34 countries in all.

The question of whether America is fighting Israel’s war is perhaps the least interesting one. Strip away the noise, and a more consequential picture emerges. The United States has used overwhelming force to dismantle what had quietly become the most significant Chinese forward position outside East Asia.
Over the past half-decade, Tehran transformed itself from a regional irritant into a structural component of Chinese strategic architecture. Roughly 90 per cent of Iran’s crude exports flowed to Chinese refineries operating beyond the reach of American sanctions enforcement. That revenue funded approximately a quarter of the Iranian state budget, including the military forces that Washington now considers a direct threat. China, for its part, was not being philanthropic. Cheap Iranian crude helped Beijing accumulate a strategic petroleum reserve reportedly exceeding a billion barrels – enough to sustain the Chinese economy for roughly a hundred days in the event of a Pacific naval blockade. Iran was a hedge against American sea power, and a lucrative one at that.

But critics object, equating lawlessness with free speech.
Lawmakers in Arizona and Utah have introduced bills toughening penalties for civil terrorism—illegal activities undertaken to achieve political goals through intimidation or coercion. Blocking a road, for example, is already illegal, and for good reason: people have to get to their families and jobs, not to mention the needs of emergency vehicles. But Arizona’s HB 2136 and Utah’s HB 331 raise the costs of doing so intentionally in large groups or in especially disorderly ways, because current law treats road-blocking as a minor crime, and troublemakers have been exploiting it.
There is a way the U.S. could play hardball with Canada, if the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney decides it wants to limit its purchase of F-35s in favour of the Gripen.
Critics who favour the Lockheed-Martin stealth fighter have long argued that the Swedish-built Gripen would not be interoperable with American aircraft and the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD).
That’s not what you see at the NATO air policing mission in Iceland, where Danish-owned F-35s have been training and operating alongside Swedish JAS-39 Gripens-Cs.
The elimination of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in a joint US-Israeli military operation has triggered a predictable wave of outrage against the West across hardline Islamist networks.
In Bangladesh, however, the reaction has revealed something deeper and more consequential: the enduring ideological character of Jamaat-e-Islami, not yet designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States, and its strategic alignment with transnational Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood.

It’s like she disappeared into thin air.
On early Sunday morning in Austin, Texas, a gunman fired into crowds of pedestrians from his moving vehicle, wounding 14 people and ultimately killing three. The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, a muslim immigrant from Senegal, was wearing a hoodie that read, “Property of Allah.”
Left-wing cable networks CNN and MSNOW have reported all of the above details at least once — all except the fact that Diagne was a muslim.
OTTAWA — With Canada’s population growth now essentially flat, the country could be heading toward an unprecedented situation where population growth is driven entirely by immigration, one expert says.
Based on the federal government’s latest Immigration Levels Plan, the parliamentary budget officer projects 2026 will be Canada’s second consecutive year of zero population growth.
They’re selling the same BS in order to justify Canada being converted into a 3rd World Dumpster.
We need migrants to create housing demand or else no one will build new inventory and the economy will stagnate and rents will go up!
What they really want is imported tribal vote blocs, depressed wages and the protection of their real estate equity not to mention the opportunity to profit from the shortages mass immigration creates.
