Returning From Washington, Tory MP Jivani Says Mexico Is Ahead of Canada in Trade Talks
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says Mexico is further ahead of Canada when it comes to negotiations on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Mexico—the third partner in our trilateral trade agreement with the U.S.—is further ahead in its engagement with the U.S. than Canada is,” Jivani said in a Feb. 8 op-ed in The National Post.
Jivani, who recently returned from a trip to Washington to meet with officials in the Trump administration, noted that Mexico and the United States began formal talks on the USMCA on Jan. 28.A week later, the two countries announced a joint action plan on critical minerals.

Zelensky wants to hold elections. Are they possible under martial law?
President Zelensky has tasked members of parliament with finding a way to hold elections while martial law is in effect by the end of the month, his chief legal advisor has told The Times.
“We want to be ready to conduct elections,” said Iryna Mudra, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office. “Parliament has created a working group to develop changes to election legislation, and they are due to report their findings by the end of February.”
Parliamentary elections are not being considered by the working group, meaning that, even if ousted as president, Zelensky would still control the largest grouping of MPs.
WTF?

Trump Privately Weighs Quitting USMCA Trade Pact He Signed
President Donald Trump is privately musing about exiting the North American trade pact, people familiar with the matter said, injecting further uncertainty about the deal’s future into pivotal renegotiations involving the US, Canada and Mexico.
The president has asked aides why he shouldn’t withdraw from the agreement, which he signed during his first term, though he has stopped short of flatly signaling that he will do so, according to the people who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions.
Tumbler Ridge shooting victim, 12, ‘loved being at school’ before he was ‘murdered in cold blood,’ father says
A grieving father whose son was killed in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting said his 12-year-old son loved school so much he cried when his father once suggested home schooling.

Foreign-Born Member Of Congress Threatens Republicans With Prison When Democrats Regain Power
Foreign-born Rep. Shri Thanedar openly threatened to prosecute his political enemies this week — a reminder of what Democrats plan to do if they get power back.
During a committee hearing Tuesday, Thanedar — struggling to speak English — threatened to prosecute Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott when President Donald Trump is out of office.
A Washington-based study identifies Canada as an extreme outlier for Beijing-linked “united front” organizations—nearly five times the per-capita density of the United States.
Beijing’s Hidden Army: How 2,294 United Front Cells Advance China’s Interests in Four Leading Democracies
WASHINGTON/OTTAWA – A groundbreaking study has mapped 2,294 organizations with proven links to the Chinese Communist Party’s “united front” influence apparatus across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany—with Canada exhibiting nearly five times the per-capita penetration rate of the U.S. and the highest density of CCP-linked organizations among all four democracies.

NYT’s marijuana turn is a victory for public health
Almost seven years ago, the New York Times invited me to speak to its editorial board about the dangers of legalising marijuana. I was excited to get the chance to tell this key institution of American life what I — and many other researchers — knew to be true: that legalising and commercialising the drug would be a public health disaster. Suffice to say, I didn’t receive much support.
That is why this week’s turn of events is so significant. On Monday, the paper published an editorial entitled: “It’s time for America to admit it has a weed problem.” It argued that marijuana’s harms are more serious than commonly acknowledged, and that commercialisation and social normalisation are amplifying them.
Jamie Sarkonak: Immigration minister’s refusal to deport knifepoint robber is another justice failure
By the time repeat violent offender Oral Carver Lewis threatened to kill an Ontario Crown prosecutor, he had already been under a deportation order for two years.
“You b–ch, I’m going to kill you,” he told her during court in January 2022. “You watch, I’m going to f–king kill you…. When I get out of jail, I’m going to kill you, Crown. I’m going to find you and kill you. I’m going to kill you the f–k.” A few months earlier, he made vulgar comments to her and pulled his pants down in court, exposing himself.
The NHS Would be Wrong to Stop Discouraging Cousin Marriage
According to the Telegraph, the NHS has been told to “stop discouraging cousin marriage”:
The National Child Mortality Database (NCMD) told NHS staff “it is unacceptable to discourage close relative marriage in a blanket way” because parents are only at a “slightly increased” risk of having a child with a genetic disorder.
It said genetic counsellors should meet the couple and their relatives to advise them on how to “consider arranging future marriages outside of the family”.
Organized crime does not operate in isolation. Canada should stop acting as if it does
The recent arrests of members of the Toronto Police Service on allegations of collusion with organized crime have sent shockwaves well beyond the city. They raise uncomfortable questions not only about individual misconduct, but about how Canada understands organized crime, and its willingness to expose and challenge the political, economic and institutional relationships that allow criminal organizations to endure.
Muslim terrorist who plotted to bomb UK army base will be free in weeks despite prison officials saying he is too dangerous to be let out
An Al Qaeda-inspired terrorist who plotted to bomb a UK army base will be released from jail in weeks despite experts warning he is too dangerous to be set free.
Zahid Iqbal was a member of a terrorist gang who plotted an attack at a Territorial Army centre in Luton where a remote-controlled toy car would be used to carry a homemade bomb.
The co-leader of the group planned to make the bomb based on instructions in an Al Qaeda manual called ‘Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom – by the Al Qaeda chef’.

OLDCORN: Another transgender mass shooter, and no, gun laws aren’t the problem
They are already sanitizing him.
Within hours of the massacre at Tumbler Ridge Secondary, the usual machinery kicked into gear. Politicians offered “thoughts and prayers.” Flags lowered. Prime Minister Mark Carney “suspended” his schedule. Pierre Poilievre tweeted his condolences, and meant them, because that is what decent people do when a community is gutted.
But nobody said what Jesse Strang actually was, transgender.
