Europe will not submit to an ‘insular and brutal world’, says Carney

Europe will not submit to a more “brutal world”, and can instead be the base from which a new international order can be rebuilt, Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, has said.

Carney was speaking as the first non-European leader to attend a meeting of the European Political Community, which opened on Monday amid high tensions in the strait of Hormuz and renewed doubts about the US commitment to Nato.

“We don’t think that we’re destined to submit to a more transactional, insular and brutal world, and gatherings such as these point to a better way forward,” he said.

Woke Archaeology

Woke Archaeology

What one expects when visiting an archaeology museum are vestiges of the past, the remains of the civilizations that preceded us, and the traces our ancestors left in history. What one does not expect to find are woke narratives more typical of a Netflix series, but that is what we can find in some Spanish museums thanks to the nefarious ideological work of Minister of Culture Ernest Urtasun.

Commons tracks Canadians’ Facebook posts about MPs in internal security files

Commons tracks Canadians’ Facebook posts about MPs in internal security files

House of Commons officials are keeping detailed internal records on what Canadians say about their elected representatives online, including comments posted to social media, according to testimony at a parliamentary committee.

Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Mellon told MPs the Commons maintains what he described as a “very robust records management system” that catalogues incidents involving members of Parliament, including online remarks that may be critical or offensive.

What’s behind the Trump-Meloni divorce?

What’s behind the Trump-Meloni divorce?

President Donald Trump threatened last week to withdraw troops from Italy. The threat followed his public accusation that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni “lacked courage” after she defended Pope Leo XIV against Trump’s attacks, and refused to allow U.S. warplanes to transit Italian airspace for strikes on Iran. These two leaders began 2025 as close allies. That now seems like a long time ago.

Europeans back Canada joining EU, poll finds. But membership faces long odds

Europeans back Canada joining EU, poll finds. But membership faces long odds

A new survey suggests that public opinion in the five largest member states leans in favour of admitting Canada to the European Union.

The research, conducted by international market research and data analytics firm YouGov, surveyed more than 1,000 adults in each of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain. Respondents were asked: “To what extent, if at all, would you support or oppose Canada joining the European Union?”

A corrupt union of declining powers. A perfect match for Carney’s vision.

Trump’s NATO Dilemma

Trump’s NATO Dilemma

President Trump has made no secret of his disdain for our NATO allies. In the past month or so, he has called them “cowards” and NATO a “paper tiger.” But, as I have written elsewhere, his notion that we should just get out of NATO is blocked by both the NATO Treaty and by a specific U.S. law that requires either a resolution passed by both houses of Congress or a two-thirds vote of the Senate. Neither is going to happen.

Mr. Trump, as commander-in-chief, has constitutional authority to remove troops from the nations that have refused us the use of our bases to attack Iran. The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany have all refused use of our bases there or use of their airspace or both.

Can Canada avoid the mistakes of past submarine deals?

Can Canada avoid the mistakes of past submarine deals?

Submarines are sleek and stealthy watercraft, designed to glide silently and undetected beneath the surface while an often oblivious world goes about its business hundreds of metres above.

When it comes to buying submarines, there’s a similar hidden undercurrent. The vessels often cost billions of dollars. In the competitive world of lobbying, government relations and “success payments,” submarine manufacturers have often come under fire for less than ethical practices to secure those lucrative government contracts.

‘It’s not harming anyone’ — the rise of the middle-class thief

‘It’s not harming anyone’ — the rise of the middle-class thief

You wouldn’t steal a car. You wouldn’t steal a handbag. But would you keep a £450 paddleboard delivered to you by mistake?

For a growing number of the usually law-abiding middle class, the answer is “yes”. While many would draw the line at slipping something into their handbag at the shops, they have no qualms about claiming that a product wasn’t delivered so they could get a refund, or “forgetting” to scan an item at the self-service checkout.

Jamie Sarkonak: At a human rights tribunal, it’s better to be a transwoman

Jamie Sarkonak: At a human rights tribunal, it’s better to be a transwoman

Human rights tribunals have drastically expanded society’s obligations to accommodate transwomen — but biological women seeking sex-based protections aren’t extended the same courtesy.

One of those regular women, known only as J, had moved into transitional housing on the women’s floor of a B.C. Salvation Army building back in the fall of 2020. She lived there for two years without issue, but when her tenancy ran out in 2022 and she hadn’t found a new place to live, the Salvation Army extended her term and offered to place her in a different building. The problem: that building was trans-inclusive. For this, J filed a human rights complaint.

Yet Another Lesson from WWII for Today’s Democracies

Yet Another Lesson from WWII for Today’s Democracies

History has a way of offering its lessons time and again.

During the Second World War, the United States learned a costly lesson about the vulnerability of its oil tankers to enemy action. Today, the world is being offered the same lesson at the Strait of Hormuz, and we need to heed it.

When America entered World War II, nearly all of its petroleum products meant for the Northeast were put aboard ocean-going tankers leaving Gulf Coast refineries and then traveling the Atlantic alongside the eastern seaboard.

Toronto Police division at core of major Project South probe has history of data breaches

The Toronto Police division whose officers’ alleged misuse of law-enforcement databases gave rise to a high-profile corruption probe has a documented history of data breaches.

In the eight years before the recent Project South takedown led to the arrests of several officers from 12 Division, unlawful database breaches prompted sanctions against four other constables from that division, according to a review of disciplinary records by The Globe and Mail.
