Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and Britannia monitors the waves.
Hormuz traffic has collapsed by 90% since conflict began, with fewer than 10 ships a day now transiting the strait.
Royal Navy-led monitors report 40+ incidents, with vessels attacked, damaged, or forced to turn back.

I’m now poking at the implication that the All Powerful State should have an army of po-faced minions patrolling the nation’s coffee shops, correcting the price of oat milk and other disgusting boutique substances. Regardless of the actual cost to the owner of the coffee shop.
Maybe critics of the federal Tories will finally stop touting Dougie as a possible leadership replacement. He’s clearly the last person the CPC needs at the helm.
The leaderless Ontario Liberals have nudged in front of the Progressive Conservatives, according to a new poll released in the aftermath of the premier’s private jet reversal and changes to freedom-of-information laws.
Two notable takeaways from Newfoundland’s recent budget: this is a record breaking deficit figure from an allegedly conservative government, and health care now eats up nearly half of all spending. We’ll be well on the way to two thirds before long and that will be the case for every province.
The budget forecasts a deficit of $688.5 million and a $20.8 billion net debt by the end of the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The province will spend $5.4 billion on health care — 42 per cent of its entire expenses — including more than $47 million to create 200 new long-term care beds.
And why you mustn’t find out:
On the subject of parents being shocked to discover, belatedly, what their children are actually being taught, these three incidents came to mind. Among many others. Note, in the third link, the casual invention of a fake curriculum – yes, a fake curriculum – so as to deceive any curious parents. And all while insisting, “This is not being deceitful.”
In light of which, the “anti-fascist” snuff-video session mentioned above – the one for other people’s ten-year-olds – doesn’t exactly scream anomaly or aberration, or some unfortunate misreading of the room, so much as a ratcheting upwards.
Ralph Goodale on Canada-US relations: "A relationship that has lasted for more than 80 yrs has come to an end. And we're now trying to build something to replace it. We need to make sure in building that replacement we are less vulnerable and less dependent than we used to be." pic.twitter.com/FG7shJ14RI

I propose all homeless shelters be located inside gated communities: Over 70% of the East Village voted for Mamdani. Now they’re suing Mamdani because he’s planning to relocate Bellevue homeless shelter to the East Village.
Unaffordable housing creates a lot more problems than declining provincial education funding as families move to cheaper abodes. But then again, the same people bemoaning this problem are likely the same ones who cheered for zero percent interest rates that sparked the housing bubble to begin with.
Families aren’t just moving to a different neighbourhood; they’re leaving the region entirely. Driven by a cost of living that has become unsustainable for many young parents, the “Surrey dream” is being packed into moving trucks and headed further east — out of the valley and, in many cases, out of the province.
Hear my prayer: Fire victims in California can’t get a permit to rebuild years later, but a ‘Hospice Company’ can be certified, vetted, and accredited to operate out of a “Burrito Stand” to steal taxpayer funds.
There’s a simple option for people alarmed about the high cost of raising kids: don’t have any. But if you have enough political sway, maybe you can coerce that magical entity known as “others” to shoulder the burden for you. To be fair, California is really just following Canada’s lead on this matter.
The number of 4-year-olds attending state-funded preschools reached record highs last school year, driven by states embracing universal access and an unprecedented $14.4 billion in spending.
More than half the nation’s public preschool enrollment gain — some 25,000 students — came in California, which this year made every 4-year-old eligible for its “ transitional kindergarten ” program, or “TK.”
“Transitional kindergarten”? I wonder who came up with that title.
Comments about raping those you dislike would normally get political leaders fired, but then again, this is Canada, and certain racially defined “elders” can say whatever they like.
During the session, Belleau recounted comments she said she directed at Frances Widdowson at a campus encounter in late 2025. “I told her: ‘I wish our people could grab you, drag you over to the Kamloops residential school, put you into the basement, speak our language to you — nothing but Secwepemctsín — beat you, rape you, hurt you,’” she recalled at the UBC event.
Who knew that Canada could become a world leader in lipstick package manufacturing?
The federal government is unveiling $25 million to support 14 projects meant to boost advanced manufacturing in Canada.
The new spending adds to $38 million allocated by industry, for projects ranging from more efficient battery production to using artificial intelligence in packaging cosmetics.
And yet, none of these post-colonial theorists want to “decolonize” electricity, antibiotics, and other oppressive constructs of the Western world, in order to return to the authentic indigenous ways of the darkened teepee and dying from a small scratch on the leg.
The Emperor Has No Clothes – doesn’t begin to properly explain how absolutely clueless Keir Starmer is.
So Canadians rewarded Carney with a majority government so that he can try to backfill a hole previously created by his own party? Note that this is merely a discussion forum as opposed to the implementation of any actual business plans. The mind boggles.
A recent report from RBC says that last year was Canada’s first to attract more than $100 billion in foreign direct investment since 2015.
More than $1 trillion in foreign investment exited the Canadian economy between 2015 and 2024, what the report calls the “largest capital exodus in Canadian history.”
Shocked, I tell you! Shocked! But I’m sure a Liberal majority will make it all better.
Small-business exit rates hit 5.6 per cent in the second quarter of 2025, while the entry rate fell to 4.8 per cent in the fourth quarter. The ratio between business starts and closures is among the worst since the COVID-19 pandemic, CFIB said in a report.
Now that Carney has a majority, expect his government to start taking these fools seriously again.
“It feels to me like this (climate) has been somewhat deprioritized. And that’s why we’re going to, as an industry, keep it at the top of the table,” Rowan Saunders, the CEO of the country’s fourth-largest property and casualty insurer Definity, said in an interview.
“We’re at a point now in Canada where we can have what used to be a year’s worth of severe weather losses happening in a single day. And we don’t have the level of public investment commensurate to that reality right now,” said David Leibl, vice president of sustainability and corporate affairs at Winnipeg-based insurer Wawanesa. “We need to close that gap.”
