Canada’s immigration, refugee and asylum system has long been broken, and to claim any questioning of it is based on racism, as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet ministers often do when they are challenged by the Conservatives, is absurd.
Scientists confirm biblical earthquake that shook the earth at the moment of Jesus’ crucifixion
A decade-old study claiming to find evidence of the earthquake described in the Bible at the time of Jesus’s crucifixion is reigniting debate after resurfacing online.
The Gospel of Matthew says ‘the earth shook’ moments after Jesus cried out before dying on the cross, and researchers in 2012 reported evidence that could support the verse.
A team of geologists examined sediment layers near the Dead Sea, about 25 miles from where many scholars believe the crucifixion took place. Their analysis revealed signs of at least two significant earthquakes affecting the region.

Canada’s Q4 GDP contracts on annualized basis, full-year growth at 1.7%
Canada’s economy contracted in the fourth quarter, coming way below expectations, as manufacturers heavily dipped into their inventories to meet demand instead of producing fresh goods, data showed on Friday.
Gross domestic product contracted at an annualized pace of 0.6 per cent in the October-December quarter, Statistics Canada said, compared with a revised 2.4 per cent increase in the prior quarter.
This brings the country’s overall growth in 2025 to 1.7 per cent, the slowest pace of annual growth since the decline in 2020, StatsCan said.
UK Police Officers Worked With Muslim Assault Gang
Victims of Muslim rape gangs in the UK also accuse local police of not only helping to traffic the girls to their abusers, but raping the girls themselves.
While the overwhelming majority of police in the UK are British, based on government data, the UK police also specifically brag about “How we’re creating a diverse and inclusive police service.” Between corrupt British police and immigrants with cultures or religions that endorse rape, the issue of police complicity in rape gangs could be much worse than woke British authorities ever want us to know. After all, UK authorities want to pretend that Islam is culturally enriching, even though Islamic sacred texts explicitly approve and even encourage rape, especially of non-Muslim women.

James Woods Shreds ‘Somali Parasite‘ Ilhan Omar, ‘Insufferable Scum‘ Democrats Protesting Trump‘s SOTU Speech
Actor James Woods took Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Democrats to the woodshed after they heckled and protested President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
Zero population growth expected in Canada this year: Budget watchdog
The parliamentary budget officer (PBO) predicts Canada’s rate of population growth will remain flat in 2026, mainly due to cuts to non-permanent resident admissions in the latest federal Immigration Levels Plan.
This would be the second year in a row with zero population growth in Canada, which follows several years of above-average growth, including the record-breaking years of 2022 and 2023.
Statistics Canada reported flat growth in 2025, with the PBO report finding any gains were offset by a decline in the non-permanent resident population of 382,000 people.
The hypothetical nuclear attack that escalated the Pentagon’s showdown with Anthropic
Start-up Anthropic and the U.S. military are careening toward a clash over government use of artificial intelligence — and whether it should be allowed to kill.
As a standoff between artificial intelligence firm Anthropic and the Pentagon deepened this week, the two sides offered starkly different accounts of a key discussion about a hypothetical nuclear strike against the United States, revealing the intensity of their showdown over the American military’s potential use of lethal autonomous weapons.
A defense official said the Pentagon’s technology chief whittled the debate down to a life-and-death nuclear scenario at a meeting last month: If an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched at the United States, could the military use Anthropic’s Claude AI system to help shoot it down?
Energy-hungry India tells Carney ‘we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering’
India wants to buy any energy product it can from Canada, and its officials are urging the federal government to streamline approvals for various projects so it can tap into new supplies to feed a rapidly growing country with relatively few natural resources of its own.
That’s the message India’s high commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, relayed in an interview with CBC News before Prime Minister Mark Carney left for a five-day visit to the country.
It’s a trip that will be laser-focused on cutting new business deals and getting negotiations for a free trade agreement underway as part of a push to diversify from the American market.
‘I saw nothing that gave me pause’: Bill Clinton says he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes
Former U.S. president Bill Clinton said in an opening statement made public on Friday that if he had knowledge of crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein when the two men were acquainted, “I would have turned him in myself.”
Clinton, 79, is giving a closed-door deposition on matters related to the investigations and prosecutions of the late, convicted sex offender to a Republican-led House oversight committee from his Chappaqua, N.Y., hometown.
Researchers who studied who’s spreading the most conspiracy theories in Canada found to be spreading misinformation
Researchers studied who’s spreading the most conspiracy theories in Canada. Here’s what they found
Canadians are becoming more exposed to conspiracy theory content in their social media feeds, but only a certain number of accounts are responsible for promoting the vast majority of it, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO) analyzed more than 14 million posts between 2023 and 2025 across popular online platforms — TikTok, X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram and Bluesky — and found there are only about 100 very active Canadian users who account for nearly 70 per cent of conspiratorial content.
… The claims that Canadians reported they were most aware of on social media were ones about public health threats (such as COVID-19) being exaggerated to expand government control (63 per cent), schools are indoctrinating kids with radical gender ideology (54 per cent) and the media-elite collusion (47 per cent).
A 750K fine for saying there are only 2 genders that was levied in a case brought by the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) on behalf of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association (CTA) against former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld says transgender indoctrination in schools is no conspiracy theory.
Why would the Media Ecosystem Observatory publish such a sketchy study?
Pakistan defence minister says country in ‘open war’ with Afghanistan after strikes
Pakistan’s defence minister has said the country is in “open war” with Afghanistan, after Islamabad launched airstrikes on Kabul as part of a wave of attacks across the country.
“Our patience has now run out,” said Khawaja Muhammad Asif following the attacks.
The strikes came after the Afghan Taliban announced a major offensive against Pakistani military posts near the border on Thursday night.
The latest attacks follow months of clashes between the two neighbouring nations, despite agreeing to a fragile ceasefire in October.
I wish them a long and bloody conflict.

Carney’s bid to forge the world’s largest trading bloc will be an uphill battle
No one can accuse Prime Minister Mark Carney of lacking ambition.
But high on the agenda for a three-country trip that will take him over the next week to the eastern reaches of the globe is what may be his most audacious gambit: trying to forge the world’s largest trading bloc as an antidote to U.S. President Donald Trump.
Cuba says group shot on US-registered speedboat planned ‘armed infiltration’
Cuba has accused 10 people aboard a US-registered speedboat it intercepted off its coast on Wednesday of planning “an infiltration with terrorist aims”.
Border guards shot dead four people and injured the other six on the boat, the Cuban interior ministry said, alleging that those on the Florida-registered vessel had fired first.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington was investigating the “highly unusual” incident.
Poilievre says China is no substitute for the United States as Canada grapples with Trump
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said trade with China is no substitute for trade with the United States and Canada should build on its leverage to secure a tariff-free trade deal with our neighbour to the south.
“Canada’s prosperity and security are inseparable from a stable relationship with the United States,” said Poilievre, during a speech at the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Thursday.
