More than four months after the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip went into effect, Hamas has still not laid down its weapons despite repeated warnings by US President Donald J. Trump. Hamas, in fact, not only continues to rule large parts of the Gaza Strip that are still under its control but also seems to be working hard to rearm, regroup and reassert its control over areas of the Gaza Strip from which the Israel Defense Forces have withdrawn.

Amid ongoing debate about provincial sovereignty, most Albertans would vote to stay in Canada, according to a new survey from the Angus Reid Institute.
Fewer than three in 10 Albertans, 29 per cent, said they would vote for separation if a referendum were held today. Most of those respondents said they are leaning toward that position rather than firmly committed.
Jeffrey Epstein ordered staff to install hidden cameras in his home after being told “the Russians may come in handy”, The Telegraph can disclose.
Emails released in the latest tranche of Epstein files confirm for the first time that the paedophile made secret recordings in his property empire.
Epstein asked Larry Visoski, his pilot, to buy “three motion-detected hidden cameras, that record”.

The whole co-operation initiative was obviously a distasteful task to Pierre Poilievre, one that circumstances and strategists have foisted upon him. When he went to meet Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday to talk about it, his opposite number appeared equally sincere.
This was a week when talk of co-operation seemed to be breaking out all over Ottawa. But the two main adversaries in federal politics were really playing cat and mouse.
Jihadist groups are increasingly carrying out drone strikes in West Africa, raising alarm that they are building the capacity to wage a “war from the skies”.
A leading violence monitoring organisation, Acled, has recorded at least 69 drone strikes by an al-Qaeda affiliate in Burkina Faso and Mali since 2023, while two Islamic State (IS) affiliates have carried out around 20 – mostly in Nigeria, which has been battling numerous insurgent groups for almost 25 years.
The latest drone attack took place in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno state on 29 January, when jihadists carried out a two-pronged assault – with multiple armed drones and ground fighters – on a military base.
The rapid changes sweeping northeastern Syria have produced a troubling result: the escape of hardened Islamic State (ISIS) fighters from detention facilities previously secured by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This development, unfolding amid a fragile ceasefire, poses a serious security threat, including to Canada.
I am old enough to remember when Peggy Noonan was worth reading.
She is smart and charming, with a real way with words. She has the soul of a poet and the common sense one expects from one.
The whys weren’t very clear when Collin Dennis Ayorech took a sword and hacked off three of his girlfriend’s fingers.
Not content with his handiwork, the maniac then cut Dawn Warden’s breast, ear, face, leg and abdomen.
Remember when the press couldn’t stop fawning over trans athletes shattering records in women’s sports? It was yesterday, right? They acted as if watching males dominate females in competition was some kind of moral triumph, and every story turned into a sermon on diversity and acceptance.
The GM plant in Oshawa often feels like a mythical place. Long-time residents in the region tell stories of a time when it was a hub of prosperity for tens of thousands of families. They say, when shifts would end, there were so many GM employees that some roads would become one-way streets so workers could drive home in an orderly fashion.
Oshawa’s GM plant is still a very important place, but far fewer Canadians work there today. The fighting spirit of a proud union remains in the face of layoffs and shift cuts.
A former top FBI official has raised doubts about whether Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom, Nancy, is really still alive and being held by kidnappers.
“I’m very skeptical of this,” former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show” on Sunday.
The new submarines Canada plans to buy will not arrive with all the necessary equipment to operate under Arctic ice, meaning they will require modifications after delivery, the head of the navy says.
Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee said Canada will need to add under-ice gear to the boats after they arrive, such as upward-facing sonar that can detect and map overhead ice and areas of open water.
Iran has sentenced the Nobel peace prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to more than seven more years in prison after she began a hunger strike, her supporters said Sunday, as Tehran cracks down on all dissent following nationwide protests and the deaths of thousands at the hands of security forces.
The new convictions against Mohammadi come as Iran tries to negotiate with the US over its nuclear programme to avert a military strike threatened by Donald Trump. Iran’s top diplomat said on Sunday that Tehran’s strength came from its ability to “say no to the great powers”, striking a maximalist position just after negotiations in Oman with the US.
