Canadians currently view the United States as more of a risk than a partner, according to a new poll that finds three-quarters dispute the idea that our southern neighbour is a trustworthy ally.
A survey by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail took stock of deteriorating Canadian opinions of the United States after U.S. President Donald Trump’s first year back in office.
The findings suggest a profound level of distrust and a significant recasting of how Canadians see the United States.
Jeffrey Epstein hid computers and photographs from United States authorities in secret storage lockers across the country, The Telegraph can reveal.
Documents uncovered by this newspaper show the paedophile paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home in an apparent attempt to prevent investigators from finding it.
The documents also show that he rented six storage units across the US and used them to house items from his properties, including computers from Little Saint James, his private island in the Caribbean.
The ink isn’t even dry on Canada’s new defence industrial strategy, and there are already uneasy rumblings from Washington. The objections are not aimed at Canada — at least not yet — but they could eventually spill across an already strained border.
A week ago, both the U.S. State Department and the Department of Defence quietly fired a shot across the bow of the European Union over its rearmament plans.
The Trump administration warned European allies against defence policies that favour domestic producers — commonly known as the “buy European” clauses in a security directive recently revised by the EU.
RCMP say they have not been able to corroborate the “veracity” of multiple threats being received in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., in the wake of the recent school shooting there.
A short statement issued Sunday from B.C. RCMP spokesman Staff Sgt. Kris Clark says Mounties became aware of threats that circulated online and within the community.

From Mark Carney’s globalist agenda to the ‘climate crisis’ charade, the West is ready to choose dignity and prosperity over the growing mess of the Canadian state.
One of the pleasures of writing columns for the Western Standard is receiving feedback. A recent email from a former law school roommate posed some interesting and relevant questions that, while unable to answer, this column can perhaps provide some perspective and context.
One addressed geography — would independence be just Alberta or also include Saskatchewan and Manitoba? To that, I would include parts of British Columbia.

King Charles was warned as long ago as 2019 that the Royal Family’s name was being ‘abused’ by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s business associations, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
In a bombshell email, a whistleblower told the Palace that the former Duke had secret financial links to controversial millionaire financier David Rowland, who was abusing his royal links.
Messages seen by this newspaper also appear to show that Andrew – who was sensationally arrested on Thursday over suspicions of misconduct in public office – allowed Mr Rowland to effectively join in with his official duties.
Andrew and Charles may both kill the Monarchy.
Building houses is still affordable; it’s the layers of government that make buying a house prohibitively expensive.
I was driving last week in Toronto, Canada, with the radio on, half-listening to the usual talk‑show chatter, when a guest said something that made me turn up the volume. The host on CFRB 1010 in Toronto was interviewing Richard Lyall, the longtime president of the Residential Construction Council of Ontario. Lyall is not a politician, not an activist, not a partisan warrior. He’s a construction‑industry veteran who has spent more than three decades studying the cost of building homes in Canada. And what he said was stunning in its simplicity.

Iran’s supreme leader has appointed a top national security official as caretaker of the regime in case of a targeted killing, reports say, as protests among students erupted in Tehran for the first time since last month’s deadly crackdown.
Under threat of assassination and strikes by the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei went into hiding and was reported to have chosen Ali Larijani, 67, to run the country as his successor.
This is not mourning. This is a war dance happening across Iran. The regime took their children, but it could not break them.
Witness the unbreakable spirit of a nation determined to be free, a people preparing for the struggle ahead.#IranMassacre pic.twitter.com/chkTrUpFHf— JokerNejad (@Jokernejad) February 20, 2026
Today- I was called a Nazi; a fascist and a racist. I am not any of those things even remotely. I am fighting for a safe nation; where we can be proud to be British, we can speak freely and most of all where we can be safe. pic.twitter.com/HxWR8uXPVN

U.S. prosecutors have unveiled a new trove of evidence against alleged drug kingpin Ryan Wedding and several Canadian associates, revealing how, after the assassination of a key federal witness, authorities doubled down on dismantling his drug empire in the lead-up to his arrest last month.
The records were filed in a Canadian court this week as the United States moves to extradite several of Wedding’s co-conspirators, and as those alleged associates continue to face bail hearings.

A wave of violence has broken out in Mexico after the country’s most wanted drug baron was killed in an operation seeking his arrest.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”, was the leader of the feared Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) drug cartel and died after being seriously injured in clashes between his supporters and the army on Sunday.
Four CJNG members were killed during the operation in the town of Tapalpa, in the central-western Jalisco state, and three army personnel were also injured, the Mexican defence ministry said.
This is funny.
💥Canadian Mainstream Media vs. Independent Media.
This is how vital platforms like "X" and independent media are, because without them, we wouldn't know what is really happening in Mexico.

If you think American politics are violent now, just wait a few years. While not exactly daily occurrences, assassinations and attempted assassinations, arsons, and ideologically fuelled brawls have become sufficiently commonplace that many escape the public’s notice. Americans overall have become not just more tolerant, but even supportive of resolving political disputes with violence. But research shows that those most inclined towards violence are younger people marinating in an “assassination culture” that normalizes physical attacks to resolve disagreements. That bodes poorly for the future.
