A pilot for Canada’s gun buyback was a failure. The Liberals are committing anyway

When an individual falls victim to the sunk cost fallacy, the consequences that follow are generally even worse. Maybe it’s an extra few thousand wasted on a rust bucket of a car just to feel like the money invested in it wasn’t for nothing. Maybe it means staying in a bad relationship that ought to have ended years ago. Maybe it’s why – just to pick a totally random example – a columnist will persist with a snoozer of a column because she’s typed out 500 words already. These are emotional, illogical decisions, but humans are emotional, illogical creatures who often have a hard time reversing course when we feel like we’ve already invested a lot of money, time or attention.

Inside the Independence Movement in Canada’s Oil-Rich Alberta

CALGARY/DIDSBURY, Canada—The Canadian province of Alberta is known for its oil rigs, cowboys, cattle runs, and strong traditions. Like Texas, these features have shaped Alberta’s unique history and culture.

Here, endless prairies roll toward the rugged Rockies, and a spirit of resilience pulses through both the land and its people, fueling a desire for more autonomy from the federal government.

Some Albertans want to go further by holding a public referendum on making Alberta independent from Canada. A petition question on separation was approved under the province’s new laws earlier this year.

A referendum in Alberta could be Donald Trump’s 51st state opportunity

But before we talk about the future, let’s revisit an unhappy past.

A Feminized Police Culture Revealed by a Chief in Tears

Pandering to elites through emotive displays does not keep the public safe.

At the very moment Portland needed a display of steadiness and command, its police chief stepped to the podium for a press conference and delivered a tearful collapse. His unraveling came as he acknowledged that the two individuals shot by a Border Patrol agent were illegal immigrants tied to the violent Tren de Aragua gang, yet he worried aloud about seeming to blame them for being shot.

Trump admin designates Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon as foreign terror groups

WASHINGTON — The State Department and Treasury Department jointly announced Tuesday that the US is designating chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood based in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon as foreign terror groups.

Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh, the leader of the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood, will be listed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“These designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to address Muslim Brotherhood chapters’ violence and destabilization wherever it occurs,” Rubio said in a statement.

If Canada did this the Liberal party would be declared illegal.

Quebec’s Unpopular Leader to Resign Ahead of Elections

The deeply unpopular premier of Quebec, François Legault, said on Wednesday that he would resign after seven years in power, acknowledging after months of desperate attempts to revive his standing in the polls that “Quebecers want change.”

The announcement — only weeks after Mr. Legault’s pledge to run for a third term — could upend the political dynamics in Canada’s French-speaking province ahead of a general election likely to be held next fall.

Mr. Legault said that he would step down after his party, Coalition Avenir Québec, a pro-business, center-right party, selects a new leader.
