Zelensky issues military threat to Orban (VIDEO)

https://www.rt.com/news/633893-zelensky-military-threat-hungary/

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has issued an apparent military threat to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban over the ongoing refusal by Budapest to lift a veto on billions in loans underwritten by EU members for Kiev.

Orban last month blocked a planned €90 billion ($106 billion) emergency loan raised by EU members for Kiev – following the bloc's failure to agree on outright stealing billions in Russian assets frozen in Belgium. Orban took the step in response to Ukraine preventing key Russian oil supplies from reaching Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline.

Speaking on new weapons for Kiev’s armed forces on Thursday, Zelensky stated: “We hope that one person in the EU will not block the €90 billion… Otherwise, we will give the address of this person to our armed forces, to our guys, so that they call him and communicate with him in their own language.” Continue...

Canadian charity stepping in after Toronto courtroom sketch artist ejected

https://www.rebelnews.com/canadian_charity_stepping_in_after

Lawyers from The Democracy Fund will be representing prominent Toronto artist David Wall after he was wrongfully ejected from a courtroom while sketching.

The Democracy Fund (TDF) is now representing veteran Toronto courtroom sketch artist David Wall following his removal from a public court session while attempting to document proceedings through sketches.

Wall has chronicled major Canadian trials for more than 24 years, including the Via Rail terrorism case, a G20 police disciplinary hearing, and the deportation proceedings of Ernst Zundel.

Several recent concerning incidents have impeded Wall's work. In April 2025, while Wall was sketching in court, a security officer approached him and told him to leave. Despite a judge intervening and allowing him to remain, the officer still wrongfully forbade Wall from sketching him.

Wall was again told to exit the courtroom during an incident in November 2025, during which a court security officer told him to "pack up and go" because it was after 5pm and only lawyers could stay. A separate officer reportedly told Wall that things could "get physical" if he didn't leave. Only through a judge's intervention was Wall allowed to remain.

The incidents culminated in December of 2025, when Wall was forced out of the courtroom after a security officer told him he “had no business here and was not family or a witness in the case." There was no judge intervention this time, and he was forced to leave the courtroom.

Lawyers for TDF have written to the Ministry of the Attorney General for Ontario to demand an explanation for Wall's removal and to get "assurances that David will be allowed to sketch in open court." Continue...

Mark Carney won't 'categorically rule out' Canada entering conflict with US, Israel against Iran

https://thepostmillennial.com/mark-carney-wont-categorically-rule-out-canada-entering-conflict-with-us-israel-against-iran

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he cannot “categorially rule out” military involvement in the war with Iran after the US and Israel launched an attack over the weekend. He emphasized that Canada may have to protect its citizens and allies if the fighting expands further.

“While we want to see a broader de-escalation of these hostilities,” Carney said to an audience in Australia, “we recognize and stress that that cannot be achieved unless we’re in a position where Iran’s ability to acquire a nuclear weapon … and to export terrorism is ended.”

Carney’s remarks largely mirrored those of Anthony Albanese, the prime minister of Australia, per the Toronto Star. He was asked by reporters about Canada’s role after Turkey shot down an incoming drone. Turkey is a member of NATO, and if any countries in the alliance are attacked, NATO agreements may pull the other countries into the conflict. Carney said Canadian involvement is hypothetical but declined to rule it out.

“One can never categorically rule out participation. We will stand by our allies when it makes sense,” Carney said, drawing a distinction between “offensive actions” by the United States and Israel that initiated the conflict and defensive responses to attacks. Continue...

Pilots win compensation in landmark arbitration victory over COVID-19 vaccine mandate

https://www.rebelnews.com/pilots_win_compensation_in_landmark_arbitration_victory_over_covid_19_vaccine_mandate

Seven pilots have been awarded compensation after a years-long arbitration battle against Air Canada’s discrimination towards religious beliefs regarding its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Arbitrator James Hayes issued a powerful rebuke to the heavy-handed policies that trampled on individual rights, informed consent, and bodily autonomy during the pandemic era, ruling that those who stood firm against the coerced medical procedure were unfairly placed on unpaid leave.

Haynes concluded that Air Canada committed prima facie workplace religious discrimination against the seven grievors (pilots), in violation of both the Collective Agreement and the Canadian Human Rights Act. He further determined that these pilots should have been placed on initial paid leaves of absence, consistent with how the airline handled exemptions granted to other pilot colleagues at the outset.

As a result, Air Canada has been directed to compensate the grievors appropriately within 60 days, and he remains involved in the matter in case any disputes arise regarding the calculation of those damages.

This outcome marks a significant victory for freedom of conscience and religious liberty, confirming that Air Canada committed religious discrimination by denying exemptions to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Haynes ultimately awarded compensation based on the hardships the pilots endured after being sidelined for standing firm on deeply held beliefs. Continue...

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/ontario-celebrates-opening-of-canadas-first-large-scale-ev-battery-factory/71666

Government officials, industry leaders and labour representatives gathered in Windsor to mark the opening of a major electric-vehicle battery manufacturing facility that supporters say represents a significant investment in Canada’s advanced manufacturing sector.

The plant, operated by NexStar Energy, is a battery manufacturing facility originally created through a joint venture between LG Energy Solution and Stellantis. Construction began in 2022 following the announcement of the project earlier that year.

The facility now spans more than four million square feet and represents an investment of more than $5 billion. According to officials at the event, the plant has hired about 1,300 workers and produced its one-millionth battery cell earlier this year.

Mayor Drew Dilkens said the project is one of the largest industrial investments in Windsor in decades and reflects the city’s long history in the automotive sector. Continue...

Ottawa is arranging charter flights and reserving hundreds of seats on commercial airlines to help more than 2,000 Canadians who are seeking to leave the Middle East amid the Iran war.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said during an evening press conference on March 4 that more than 106,000 Canadians and permanent residents in the Middle East have registered with the Registration of Canadians Abroad service amid a conflict triggered by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran on Feb. 28.

The registered Canadians are spread across more than a dozen countries, but 85 percent of those seeking assistance are concentrated in five: 1,171 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 237 in Qatar, 164 in Lebanon, 93 in Israel, and 74 in Iran. In total, 2,035 people have asked the government for help leaving the region.

Anand said the options available for Canadians wishing to leave the Middle East depend on a range of factors, and urged Canadians in the region who have not yet registered to do so immediately.

“The situation is volatile and is changing by the hour,” she said. “In some countries, the airspace is open, in others it is partially open, and in others it’s fully closed.”

Global Affairs is securing blocks of seats on commercial airlines or is trying to arrange seats on charter flights operated by Canada or its allies in areas where the airspace remains open, Anand said. She urged Canadians in countries with closed airspace to shelter in place. Continue...

Canada’s national authority for cybersecurity is urging Canadian critical infrastructure operators to remain “vigilant” against the threat of cyberattacks as the conflict in Iran intensifies.

An advisory from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) posted this week that says Iran will “very likely” use its cyber capabilities in response to the joint military operations conducted against the country by the United States and Israel.

The cyber centre estimated the probability of such an attack to be between 75 and 89 percent, and said the chance of Canada being targeted ranges from 60 to 74 percent.

Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement on Feb. 28, shortly after the onset of the war, to say Canada supports the U.S. action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Continue...

U.S. and Canadian defense officials said late Wednesday that two Russian military aircraft were found operating in the Alaskan and Canadian identification zones, prompting the Air Force to scramble jets in response.

A statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said U.S. and Canadian officials detected and tracked two Russian Tu-142 military planes earlier on Wednesday, an incident that NORAD described as routine.

“The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace,” NORAD said. “This Russian activity in the Alaskan and Canadian ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat.”

Two U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter planes, two F-22 fighters, four KC-135 tanker planes, and one E-3 airborne warning and control aircraft were mobilized, while Canada sent two CF-18 fighter aircraft and one CC-150 tanker plane to monitor, identify, and intercept the two Russian planes in the identification zones.

The Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ, is intended to serve as a buffer to warn of potential incursions by foreign aircraft. It extends hundreds of miles into the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean.

NORAD, which comprises both the U.S. and Canadian militaries, added in its statement that it “employs a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter aircraft to detect and track aircraft and inform appropriate actions,” noting, “NORAD remains ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America.” Continue...

The company selling electricity from a Queens County wind farm that’s getting $231 million in federal funding is primarily owned by family members of former Liberal MPs.

Roswall Development Inc., which owns the company that will be selling electricity from Mersey River Wind directly to consumers (Renewall Energy), is owned by the brothers of two former Liberal MPs, the son-in-law of another, former provincial interim Liberal leader Michel Samson, and international infrastructure fund Slate Asset Management.

The Registry of Joint Stock Companies lists Roswall Development directors as:

Chair Michel Samson, the Cape Breton-Richmond MLA until 2017 and former interim leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party

Edgar Samson, the owner of Premium Seafoods and brother of Darrel Samson, who was Liberal MP for Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook until 2025

Mitchell Brison, Brison Developments owner/founder and brother of Scott Brison, who served as president of the Treasury Board and Liberal MP for Kings-Hants until 2018

President Dan Roscoe, founder of Renewall and son-in-law of David Dingwall, who served as Liberal MP for Cape Breton-East Richmond until 1997 and who held federal cabinet positions

David Howell, chief financial officer for Brison Developments

Scott Rodgers and Ramsey Ali of Slate Asset Management

A big monetary infusion blows east

The Mersey River Wind Farm got a big shot in the arm last week during an announcement in Hunts Point by federal Minister of Energy and Natural Resource Tim Hodgson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure Gregor Robertson, Canada Infrastructure Bank CEO Ehren Cory and Premier Tim Houston.

The project will get a $206-million loan from the Canada Infrastructure Bank, $25 million from Natural Resources Canada and a federal Clean Technology Tax Credit worth up to $122.5 million.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank, a Crown corporation, refused to provide the interest rate or terms of its loan.

In a written statement, Natural Resources Canada said its $25 million is “a conditionally repayable contribution agreement where funding would be repayable based on profits generated from the project within the first five years of operation.“

SHOCKING VIDEO RESURFACES: Trump’s New DHS Pick Markwayne Mullin PRAISED and HUGGED the Cop Who MURDERED Unarmed Air Force Vet Ashli Babbitt – Called Him a Hero!

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/shocking-video-resurfaces-trumps-new-dhs-pick-markwayne/

A newly resurfaced video is raising eyebrows across conservative circles after comments from Sen. Markwayne Mullin, President Trump’s latest pick to head the Department of Homeland Security after removing Kristi Noem, praising and even hugging Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt.

Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran and Trump supporter, was gunned down in cold blood on January 6, 2021, while peacefully protesting.

She was unarmed, posing no threat, yet Byrd fired a single shot that ended her life as she attempted to climb through a broken window in the Capitol.

But according to Mullin, Byrd is the real victim here! In an interview on C-SPAN from July 2021, six months after Babbitt was murdered, Mullin recounts the moments after the shooting.

“After it happened, he came over. He was physically and emotionally distraught. I actually gave him a hug and I said, ‘sir, you did what you had to do.'” Mullin went even further, telling investigators that he heard Byrd issue a warning before firing, a claim debunked by video evidence showing no such warning was given.

He told media outlets that Byrd “didn’t have a choice” and that his shot “saved people’s lives.” Continue...

JUST IN: Clinton Judge Orders Trump Admin to Refund $130 Billion in Tariffs

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/clinton-judge-orders-trump-admin-refund-130-billion/

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Trump Administration to refund $130 billion in tariffs.

The US Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump’s tariffs in a 6-3 decision.

The Supreme Court said President Trump does not have the authority to impose the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The high court’s decision only invalidates Trump’s tariffs under the IEEPA.

Chief Justices Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch sided with the three liberal justices.

Conservative Justices Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh sided with President Trump.

In his dissent, Kavanaugh warned that refunding the tariffs would be a ‘mess.’

The Trump Administration asked for a 90-day delay in refunding the tariffs, but the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request on Monday.

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday rejected the Trump Administration’s request to delay the Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs.

On Wednesday, Judge Richard Eaton, a Clinton appointee, said the Trump Administration to begin refunding $130 billion in tariffs.

Wokeism in the military is a recipe for disaster.

Let’s begin with a nice disclaimer: I am not suggesting that women can’t be ship captains, or that lesbians can’t run a ship.

What we are saying, though – and forcefully – is that ‘diversity’ hirings in military posts are likely to lead to tragedy – as it was the case of the New Zealand Navy’s HMNZS Manawanui.

It arose earlier in the week that the celebrated lesbian ‘DEI hire’ captain of the $100m New Zealand Navy ship – that ran aground off the coast of Samoa – has been charged with negligence over the sinking. Continue...

Helsinki has joined the nuclear-mania.

The world is getting more dangerous by the day, and especially in Europe, where a race for rearmament is in full display. More and more countries are starting to think about nuclear weapons in a way that would seem impossible just a few years ago.

From France vowing to increase its presently limited number of nuclear warheads and extend its protection to other EU nations, to Poland floating the idea of developing its own nuclear arsenal, Europeans have ‘learned to stop worrying and love the bomb’, to paraphrase Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Dr. Strangelove’.

Today (5), the Finnish government announced it will ‘ease its ban’ on nuclear weapons.

This will allow the country to import, transport, and store nukes on Finnish territory.

Trigger-happy Iranians may unite the region against them.

By now, everyone has understood that the mullahs’ regime in Iran has a strategy to try to involve all the region in a chaotic environment, thinking that this will force the regional powers that be to convince the US and Israel to stop the strikes and the Kurdish ground offensive.

That doesn’t seem to be working too well, since both Saudi Arabia and Qatar have already announced or enacted retaliatory strikes against Iran, with many others weighing in to do that, too.

If that was not enough, today it arises that Iran has hit Azerbaijan. Why? No one knows. Continue...

The war has entered its seventh day, but there could be a glimmer of hope for some kind of diplomatic-led offramp as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian indicated Friday that several countries have begun mediation efforts to end the war with the United States and Israel, but insists negotiations must confront those who started the conflict. "Some countries have begun mediation efforts. Let’s be clear: we are committed to lasting peace in the region, yet we have no hesitation in defending our nation’s dignity and sovereignty," Pezeshkian wrote on X.

"Mediation should address those who underestimated the Iranian people and ignited this conflict," he added. The mood over at the White House seems one of trying to get the unanticipated after-effects and especially the ongoing fierce Iranian retaliation on Gulf targets under control. Tehran overnight and into Friday saw the heaviest bombardment yet of the Iranian capital. Meanwhile, Brent oil futures have surged to $90 a barrel on the Iran war. Continue...

From 'Model Migrant' To Wife-Chopper: Integration Poster-Boy Accused Of Grisly Murder

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/model-migrant-wife-chopper-integration-poster-boy-accused-grisly-murder

The Eritrean migrant accused of dismembering his partner and the mother of his daughter was once held up as a “model migrant” 10 years ago in a variety of German newspapers. These papers reported that he was an example of how “integration” could work.

Today, 41-year-old Asmerom G. is accused of butchering his own wife. In fact, authorities have still not found her head.

German media were still singing his praises in 2016. The man from Eritrea had landed a job as an electrical assistant at a firm in Rheinbach, in North Rhine-Westphalia, and gave interviews about leaving his homeland three years earlier to escape political persecution.

He wanted German citizenship, he said. His boss at the time was quick to describe Asmerom G. as talented, reliable, and “capable of anything,” according to Bild newspaper.

However, then reality arrived. Within a year, Asmerom G. was in trouble with the law. A brawl led to a conviction for grievous bodily harm at Siegburg District Court, earning him a six-month suspended sentence.

He moved on from Rheinbach and took up work behind the wheel of a freight truck.

Somewhere along the way, he made a trip back to his home country — for reasons that remain unclear — and returned to Germany with a woman named Weghata A., who was 31, his wife under Eritrean law.

On July 26, 2025, she delivered their daughter.

Three months later, Weghata A. was dead.

In Major Win For Putin, US Grants Russia License To Sell Oil To India While Strait Of Hormuz Is Blocked

https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/major-win-putin-us-grants-russia-license-sell-oil-india-while-strait-hormuz-blocked

The world desperately needs oil, but can't get it as 20% of it is literally stuck behind the blockaded Straits of Hormuz. Putin has tons of oil because sales are metaphorically stuck by US sanctions. If the world does not get access to oil soon enough, there will be a global recession or worse, and every day the price of oil rises by 5%.

What to do?

Lightbulb moment: why, remove Russia's sanctions to one of the countries most in need - India - and bring the excess oil to those who have the most urgent need for it, allowing the price to fall and removing much of the leverage Iran has by keeping prices sky high.

That's what happened late on Thursday, when the US issued a general license to allow for some Russian oil sales to India, giving the nation more options to purchase fuel as an escalating conflict in the Persian Gulf cuts off a major producing region.

The license lasts a month (which hints at how long the operation against Iran will likely last according to the Admin) and covers transactions related to the sale of Russian crude oil and petroleum products loaded onto vessels before March 5, so long as it’s delivered to India and purchased by an Indian firm. The measure expires April 4 at 12:01 a.m. Washington time. Continue...

A laser is reportedly being deployed against Iran’s Islamic regime as the United States continues Operation Epic Fury.

The High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) system appears to be fixed on a U.S. Navy destroyer near the Iranian coast, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

It is capable of destroying drones, and the Post said videos showing rockets exploding over the Israel-Lebanon border have been unofficially credited to the Israeli military’s Iron Beam weapon, which is also a laser.

The captain of a ship of the Iranian Navy has handed his vessel over to the Sri Lankan government, a neutral party, for internment, saving the lives of his crew hours after another Iranian warship was destroyed nearby by the United States Navy.

Sri Lanka (Ceylon) has assumed control of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ship (IRIS) Bushehr, a fleet supply ship (oiler). Sri Lanka has sent craft to receive the 1970s-era ship within its territorial waters and, per local media, has taken off 208 officers and men, who are to be sent ashore. The ship will now be taken by the Sri Lankans to Trincomalee for internment for the duration of hostilities. Continue...

Several-thousand high school students have taken to the streets of Berlin to protest a recently adopted law that could lead to the reinstatement of compulsory military service.

Under the new Military Service Modernization Act, all 18-year-old German men must register for potential service by filling out a questionnaire and undergoing a medical checkup starting this year. The legislation stipulates that recruits could potentially be called up via lottery should the armed forces face manpower shortages. Continue...

Northern Ontario municipality explores internet and phone voting for 2026 election

https://www.rebelnews.com/northern_ontario_municipality_explores_internet_and_phone_voting_for_2026_election

If implemented, the system would replace traditional paper ballots and in-person voting with a fully electronic process.

A small northern Ontario municipality is considering a major change to how residents cast their ballots in local elections.

The Municipality of Markstay-Warren, located southeast of Sudbury, has issued a request for quotes seeking vendors to provide internet and telephone voting systems for use in the 2026 municipal and school board elections.

According to a public procurement notice posted on the Merx government tendering system, the municipality is looking for a contractor capable of delivering and administering a secure voting platform that would allow residents to vote remotely either online or by phone.

If implemented, the system would replace traditional paper ballots and in-person voting with a fully electronic voting process. These systems typically provide electors with a personal identification number that can be used to log in to a secure portal or automated telephone system to cast their vote during the election period.

Remote voting has been adopted by a number of municipalities across Ontario in recent years, particularly in smaller communities seeking to reduce staffing costs and increase accessibility for voters who may have mobility challenges or live in rural areas.

However, critics of online and phone in voting have raised concerns about the security and transparency of internet voting systems, noting that electronic ballots can be difficult to independently audit compared to paper ballots.

The Markstay-Warren procurement notice invites vendors to submit proposals outlining the technology, security protocols, voter authentication methods and administrative support required to run the election.

The selected system would be used for the 2026 municipal and school board elections, which will determine local council and trustee representation for the township.

B.C. government billed taxpayers $3,900 for Amsterdam happy hour

https://www.rebelnews.com/bc_government_billed_taxpayers_3900_for_amsterdam_happy_hour

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the British Columbia government to rein in international travel spending after records revealed taxpayers were billed $3,900 for a “happy hour” drink reception in Amsterdam.

According to freedom-of-information records obtained by the CTF, B.C.’s Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, through Trade and Invest British Columbia, hosted a reception during a conference at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre in the Netherlands.

Invoices show the government spent about 2,457 euros — roughly $3,900 Canadian — to host approximately 50 attendees at the reception, working out to about $78 per person.

The documents also indicate the government extended the event from 1.5 hours to two hours, adding nearly $600 in additional costs to taxpayers. Continue...

Senators billed taxpayers for booze, disco parties and mini golf as spending jumps 67%

Canada’s Senate calls itself the chamber of “sober second thought,” but new expense records show taxpayers are footing the bill for booze, fine dining and even disco parties.

Expenses reviewed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation show senators charged taxpayers $116,100 in hospitality spending last year, a 67% increase compared to the previous year.

“It’s probably hard for senators to provide that sober second thought when they’re spending thousands on booze,” said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “Taxpayers are going to be outraged when they see how unelected senators are milking their expenses.”

Since 2019, Senate spending includes $27,000 on alcohol purchased from the LCBO, SAQ, wineries and The Beer Store. Senators also spent thousands on gifts, including $1,600 at a Newfoundland distillery.

Fine dining also featured prominently in the expenses. Senators spent $20,500 across nine visits to Le St-Estèphe, an upscale French restaurant in Gatineau, Quebec. Continue...

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadian-tribe-evicting-longtime-residents-from-trailer-park-to-make-way-for-much-needed-housing-services-for-nation-members

A First Nation on Vancouver Island has given longtime residents of a trailer park on its reserve lands two years to get out so the First Nation can create housing for its own members.

The K’ómoks First Nation announced on Wednesday that the Queneesh Trailer Park will be closing on January 31, 2028, "to begin to make way for much-needed housing and services for Nation members."

Longtime residents of the trailer park, on which 27 trailers are located housing over 100 people, told CHEK News that the First Nation is treating them unfairly, and they have limited options to relocate their homes due to costs and limited space on the island.

Kathy Jenkins, a park resident of 34 years, said, "There’s no place to move our trailers to on the Island. We are stuck. We have put our life savings into this trailer, and now we have to leave with nothing."

Don Cropley, a park resident of 18 years, said, "I’m just really appalled at the First Nations for deciding to develop this land when they have a whole bunch of other tracts of land that are in really nice locations, and they’ve chosen to displace all us people." Continue...

"Unions: there for you through thick and thin, unless you say that men aren’t women," she wrote in another X post.

BCNU states on their website that they provide "portection, representation, and services to all members."

They also have a "2SLGBTQ+ Caucus" which "works to challenge homophobia and increase awareness throughout our union about its damaging impact."

Canada’s most wanted fugitive is in police custody after being arrested in Montreal this week in connection with a shooting death at Toronto’s Yorkdale mall last summer.

Bryan Fuentes Gramajo was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant in the city’s Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough at approximately 2:40 a.m. on March 5 by the major crimes unit of the Montreal police force, the police service said in a press release.

The 24-year-old Montreal native was wanted by Toronto police on a first-degree murder charge linked to the death of 28-year-old Kashif Jamal Bentley-Jean, who was shot in the parking lot of the shopping centre last July.

Officers responding to the Yorkdale mall shooting found the victim suffering from gunshot wounds outside the Indigo book store in the shopping centre’s parking lot during the early morning hours of July 17, 2025. He was pronounced dead at the scene despite attempts to save his life, Toronto police said in a March 5 press release.

Fuentes Gramajo was placed atop Canada’s Most Wanted List last year, and a reward of up to $100,000 was offered by Toronto police for any information leading to his arrest. Police have not released the details that led to the suspected gang member’s arrest or if the reward will be paid out.

Police have said Fuentes Gramajo is thought to be affiliated with Zone 43, a Montreal-based street gang with strong connections to Ontario and British Columbia. Continue...

Prime Minister Mark Carney has signed a “comprehensive strategic partnership” agreement with Japan that aims to strengthen cooperation in defence, energy, critical minerals, and other areas.

On his trip to Japan on March 6, Carney and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi committed to “intensify cooperation” on defence, critical minerals, trade, energy, climate, and “people-to-people ties,” according to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

While the agreement represents a pledge for closer coordination, it does not include specific details or dollar amounts.

On defence, the PMO said the leaders focused on opportunities to collaborate on defence procurement and work together on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, aerospace, and space communications.

Carney and Takaichi also discussed three bilateral memorandums of cooperation on helping and evacuating nationals during international emergencies, joint patrol coordination and enforcement against illegal fishing in the North Pacific, and joint exercises between the Canadian Coast Guard and the Japan Coast Guard.

The two countries also pledged to identify investment opportunities and deploy trade delegations to their respective countries sometime this year to increase business. Continue...

The Trump administration is deploying a THIRD U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, ramping up the pressure on Iran’s terrorist regime amid its pathetic attempts at retaliation.

This comes as Iranian missile and drone strikes have been decimated by superior American and allied defenses, dropping a staggering 90% and 83% respectively since the war kicked off, according to CENTCOM, per the Times of Israel.

During a broadcast report, Fox News anchor Brett Baier confirmed that the situation continues to intensify as Iranian aggression spreads across the region.

Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry announced that it intercepted four drones launched toward the Sheba oil field, part of a continuing wave of attacks linked to Iran. The strikes come amid Iran’s ongoing retaliatory campaign targeting U.S., Israeli, and Gulf state assets.

At the same time, regional allies are beginning to push back harder. Continue...

The targeted networks are known as the “digital collection system,” according to sources close to the matter.

“Documents obtained by a Freedom of Information Act [request] by the Electronic Frontier Foundation decades ago described the FBI’s ‘Digital Collection Systems Network’ as a suite of software that is used by the bureau to conduct a wide range of surveillance activities, from wiretaps to pen registers, which are surveillance tools that record phone numbers, IP addresses, signaling, and other information, in real time,” according to CBS.

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2026/03/united-states-suspends-all-visa-appointments-pakistan-amid/

The United States government announced the immediate suspension of all visa appointments at its embassy and consulates in Pakistan , citing security concerns that put both diplomatic staff and applicants at risk.

The measure comes amid rising regional tensions, where US authorities have identified potential threats that could affect the operation of their diplomatic facilities.

The decision applies to all types of visas: tourist, business, student, and other consular procedures, and will remain in effect until further notice, with no clear date for summary.

US officials stated that the suspension aims to ensure the safety of diplomatic personnel and protect citizens conducting visa procedures in the country.

So far, no specific incidents have been reported , but authorities consider the potential risk sufficient to justify this preventive action.

This suspension is causing concern among Pakistani citizens and residents who planned to travel to the United States, affecting study plans, business activities, and even family reunification. Continue...

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mind-numbing-irony-us-asks-ukraines-help-shoot-down-irans-shahed-drones-gulf

In the ultimate irony of ironies, Financial Times is reporting US officials are discussing the purchase of Ukrainian-made drone interceptors to counter Iranian drones, which some analysts say have proven harder to stop than expected.

Patriot missile interceptors used by US allies cost more than $4 million each, while the Ukrainian systems are significantly cheaper and designed to defeat the same Shahed-type drones used by Russia.

Supplies are dwindling and costs are soaring, after approaching a full week in to Iran's retaliation on Gulf nations hosting American bases, given that Patriots have remained the interceptor of choice to defend Gulf cities as well as foreign bases, with a single Patriot interceptor possibly running over $13.5 million.

So Ukraine's experience in facing down Russia's significant aerial war over four years of conflict could provide for a cheaper alternative.

The Financial Times describes, citing sources familiar with the discussions, that "Ukrainian drone interceptors are proving they can take down Shaheds at a fraction of the cost."

However, officials have also stated that any export of Ukrainian systems would need Ukrainian government approval, even if assembled abroad.

This might prove a tall order given that Ukraine is already desperate to get more defense weaponry from the West, and in reality is the last country that can just spare some major weapons systems, or even parts and ammo.

The US has formally asked for Ukraine’s help to shoot down Iran’s Shahed drones, President Zelensky confirms. Continue...

There is already talk among Quebec’s political class — across the political spectrum — of invoking the notwithstanding clause after Canada’s top court struck down a law that barred people seeking refuge from Quebec’s daycare system.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Friday the province’s policy — which excluded asylum seekers from the province’s subsidized daycare network — discriminated against women. The decision means people seeking refugee status can continue to access the system. It also extended eligibility to those without work permits.

Quebec’s low-cost daycare system, which emerged in the late 1990s, is widely regarded as one of the most successful child-care programs in the world, credited with helping more mothers enter the workforce. Even New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has pointed to Quebec’s system as a model.

But the program faces a shortage of spaces. About 30,000 children remain on waiting lists for daycare spots, according to provincial figures. About 6,000 of those spaces are currently used by children of refugee claimants.

Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, whose party leads in the polls ahead of a general election later this year, warned in Montreal on Friday the decision could encourage asylum seekers to come to Quebec to obtain social services. Continue...

Australian biotech company Cortical Labs announced the development in a recent demonstration showing neurons grown in a laboratory interacting with the 1993 first-person shooter.

The experiment builds on earlier work from 2022, when the company revealed that clusters of human brain cells grown in a petri dish had learned to play the much simpler video game Pong.

Those early experiments involved “mini-brains” made up of roughly 800,000 to one million living human neurons.

https://www.rt.com/russia/634143-sweden-seizes-cargo-russians-crew/

Sweden has intercepted a cargo ship believed to be part of Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” in the Baltic Sea, the country’s public broadcaster SVT reported on Saturday, citing the Swedish Coast Guard.

Moscow maintains that the notion of a Russian-operated “shadow fleet” is unfounded. According to Kremlin officials, the term is used to describe vessels that transport cargo outside the coverage of London-based insurance brokers.

Russia insists that even if such ships carry sanctioned cargo, Western countries have no legal basis to enforce these sanctions on the high seas under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The Caffa, the vessel in question, was reportedly seized on Friday in cooperation with Swedish police aviation and the National Task Force. Authorities are currently conducting searches and questioning the 11 crew members, 10 of whom hold Russian citizenship.

The ship is listed on Ukraine’s sanctions list and sails under the flag of Guinea, although the Swedish Coast Guard says its flag status remains unclear. Continue...

With Ottawa’s China Pivot, Beijing Expects Canada to Overlook Its Meddling: Former Diplomat

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/with-ottawas-china-pivot-beijing-expects-canada-to-overlook-its-meddling-former-diplomat-5993739?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

China scholar and former Canadian diplomat Charles Burton says Beijing expects that its strategic partnership with Ottawa means Canada will refrain from disrupting its espionage and foreign interference operations.

The partnership suggests Canada “won’t disrupt China’s operations in Canada, and espionage and influence operations, so that they can continue to expand their influence in Canada for the future when, from their point of view, China becomes the dominant power on the planet,” Burton said.

Burton’s comments come after Prime Minister Mark Carney said during a visit to China in January that Ottawa’s relations with Beijing had entered “a new era” and the two countries were in a “strategic partnership.”

Burton said that, from the Chinese point of view, the partnership means that Canadian officials will become “collaborators in China’s geostrategic plans” and will cooperate on the exchange of security information and other areas. Continue...

Canada to Grant 33,000 Foreign Workers Permanent Residence Under New Program

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canada-to-grant-33000-foreign-workers-permanent-residence-under-new-program-5995589?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

The federal government has soft-launched an immigration program that will see 33,000 temporary foreign workers become permanent residents in Canada over the next two years, Immigration Minister Lena Diab confirmed.

The program, first announced in November as part of Ottawa’s 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan, seeks to “accelerate” a pathway for work permit holders already in Canada to transition to permanent residence in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to tackle labour shortages in in-demand sectors.

Government officials have not provided updates on the “one-time measure” since its announcement. Diab told the Toronto Star in an interview published March 6 that the measure is one way to reduce the temporary resident population, noting that more than half of the 395,000 people who became permanent residents in 2025 had previously held temporary permits.

“We have launched it already,” the minister said, adding that details on application and approval numbers are not yet available. “But we will in the month of April be able to provide more clarity and more detail on them,” she noted.

Diab’s comment echoed the three-year immigration levels plan, announced alongside Budget 2025 on Nov. 4, which states that reducing temporary resident admissions is part of Ottawa’s goal to “reduce the total number of temporary residents to less than five per cent of Canada’s population by the end of 2027.”

Specifically, the three-year plan pledges to shrink new temporary resident admissions from 673,650 in 2025 to 385,000 in 2026, and 370,000 in 2027 and 2028. Continue...

Woke Christian Leaders Issue Letter Against Rise of ‘White Christian Nationalism’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/woke-christian-leaders-issue-letter-rise-white-christian/

A coalition of left-leaning evangelical Christians issued a new open letter against the Trump administration and what they claimed is a rising tide of “white Christian nationalism.”

In recent years, legacy media outlets and Democratic leaders have linked a rise in distinctly Christian conservative political engagement to “Christian nationalism,” denouncing the notion that America is an historically Christian people and country.

The letter, signed by hundreds of Christian leaders, reflected a similar sentiment as it criticized President Donald Trump’s policies during his second term.

“We are facing a cruel and oppressive government; citizens and immigrants being demonized, disappeared, and even killed; the erosion of hard-won rights and freedoms; and a calculated effort to reverse America’s growing racial and ethnic diversity — all of which are pushing us toward authoritarian and imperial rule,” the letter claimed.

“What confronts us is not only an endangered democracy and the rise of tyranny. It is also a Christian faith corrupted by the heretical ideology of white Christian nationalism, and a church that has often failed to equip its members to model Jesus’s teachings and fulfill its prophetic calling as a humanitarian, compassionate, and moral compass for society.” Continue...

Another week, another ‘Randy Andy’ scandal.

By now, having lost all his British royal perks, titles, and honors, having been arrested, currently under investigation, one could imagine that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, exiled in a Sandringham farm, couldn’t care less if yet another compromising picture of him has been released by the US DOJ.

But, in fact, it’s the compounding effect this has on his investigation, and also the consequences being faced by his daughters.

In the meantime, people around Andrew are also suffering grave reputational damage.

His daughter, Princess Eugenie, had to resign from her role in an anti-slavery charity, as the relentless fallout from the Epstein documents continues.

In an Instagram video, a Persian protester goes out on the streets of Los Angeles to shout his praise for the U.S. government for killing Ayatollah Khamenei and bringing hope of liberation to the people of Iran. Across the street are American liberals with banners that read “Hands Off Iran.” He confronts them, furious not only that people who never suffered under the regime want it preserved, but also about the flag they are waving.

He holds the original Persian flag, the Lion and Sun, which has become the symbol of the anti-regime movement. The “Hands Off” protesters are waving the Islamic Republic’s flag, which bears Arabic rather than Persian writing. When he points this out, the liberals tell him he is wrong. Continue...

Houston right to cut taxpayer handouts to radical publishers, says watchdog

https://www.rebelnews.com/houston_right_to_cut_taxpayer_handouts_to_radical_publishers_says_watchdog

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston eliminated the $700,000-a-year Publishers Assistance Program as part of a series of budget cuts announced in late February.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is applauding Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston for cancelling government subsidies to book publishers and is urging other governments to follow suit.

“Houston made the right call,” said Devin Drover, Atlantic director and general counsel for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to bankroll publishing houses that openly describe themselves as politically driven and committed to pushing radical ideology.”

Nova Scotia’s now-cancelled Publishers Assistance Fund previously distributed taxpayer money to private publishing houses. The CTF criticized the program after it provided $135,000 in public funds to Fernwood Publishing in 2024.

Fernwood Publishing, which operates out of Halifax and Winnipeg, describes itself as “politically driven, not profit driven” and says its mandate is to publish “radical analysis” aimed at contributing to “structural change.” Continue...

Massive B.C. ranch sale stalls as Aboriginal title spooks buyers

https://www.rebelnews.com/massive_bc_ranch_sale_stalls_as_aboriginal_title_spooks_buyers

Prospective buyers of farmland in the British Columbia Interior are hesitant to close real estate deals given the uncertainty surrounding land rights in the province following the Cowichan ruling.

A massive offering of ranch land in British Columbia has failed to attract buyers, with uncertainty surrounding Aboriginal title emerging as a major concern for investors.

Monette Farms, one of Canada’s largest agricultural operators, listed 12 ranches in the B.C. Interior totalling more than 45,000 acres in what was marketed as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to purchase prime ranch land. But according to Country Life in B.C., the initial offering through Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers closed without a single bid.

The properties, which include the historic Home Ranch near 70 Mile House, were first offered with a January 9 deadline. With no sales, the process moved to a “tender by auction” system with a March deadline.

Despite the lack of bids, Ritchie Bros. says interest remains high. But industry observers say the bigger issue is growing uncertainty about land tenure in B.C., particularly surrounding Aboriginal title claims.

One ranch deal is already known to have collapsed after local Indigenous groups told a prospective buyer they would not support the transfer of the Crown grazing licences required to operate the property. Continue...

Ottawa man appeals after bank accounts frozen under Emergencies Act

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/ottawa-man-appeals-after-bank-accounts-frozen-under-emergencies-act/71742

Lawyers for Ottawa-area resident Evan Blackman have filed an appeal arguing that the freezing of his bank accounts under the federal Emergencies Act violated his rights under section 8 of the Charter, which protects Canadians against unreasonable search and seizure.

Blackman was arrested on February 18, 2022, during a large police operation that cleared Freedom Convoy protestors from downtown Ottawa.

He faced charges of mischief and obstructing a peace officer.

Hours after his release, Blackman discovered he could no longer access funds in any of his bank accounts. His bank informed him that the accounts had been frozen under emergency financial measures enacted by the federal government during the protest.

Court evidence showed police shared information with financial institutions identifying individuals connected to vehicles in the protest zone.

Institutions were then required to freeze accounts and report financial information for those designated as part of the operation.

In November 2025, the Ontario Court of Justice convicted Blackman of mischief and obstructing a peace officer and rejected his request to stay the charges, ruling the frozen accounts were separate from his arrest and did not affect criminal proceedings.

Blackman is now appealing to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, arguing the trial judge applied the wrong legal test and failed to consider whether the account freezes were part of the same coordinated operation against protestors.

“Freezing someone’s bank account is an extraordinary use of state power," Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms lawyer Chris Fleury said.

"When the government interferes with a person’s ability to access their own money, the courts must carefully examine whether those actions respected the protections guaranteed by the Charter.”

The appeal contends that the financial measures and police enforcement occurred simultaneously, involved the same law enforcement agencies, and were intended to achieve the same goal of ending the protest.

If successful, the appeal could lead to a new hearing on Blackman’s application for a stay of proceedings.

G7 countries include Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Air Force General Dan Caine will hold a press briefing this morning as war in Iran continues.

This comes as the conflict in Iran enters its second week since the February 28 Operation Epic Fury strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of senior Iranian officials.

Iran has since chosen Ali Khamenei’s son, 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei, to lead the country as Supreme Leader.

During a press conference on Monday, Trump did not rule out killing the new Supreme Leader of Iran, adding that he believes the younger Khamenei will “lead to just more of the same problem for the country.”

Trump also told reporters on Monday that the US has struck “over 5000 targets to date,” but is leaving “some of the most important targets for later, in case we need to do it.”

“If we hit them, it’s going to take many years for them to be rebuilt, having to do with electricity production and many other things, so we’re not looking to do that if we don’t have to,” he added. “We are waiting to see what happens before we hit them. We could take them all out in one day.” Continue...

A chilling new federal alert has raised fears that the Iranian regime may be attempting to activate covert terrorist networks across the West following the dramatic escalation of the U.S.–Iran conflict.

According to an explosive federal government alert reviewed by ABC News, the U.S. has intercepted high-level encrypted communications believed to be originating from Iran.

Intelligence officials believe these transmissions are not just chatter, they are an “operational trigger” intended to activate “sleeper assets” embedded right here in the West.

As The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported, Iran has long threatened to unleash sleeper cells within the United States if provoked, a nightmare scenario made possible by the millions of unvetted illegals who poured across our southern border during the disastrous Biden years. Continue...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/putin-throws-energy-lifeline-europe-amid-iran-war/

As war in the Middle East rattles global energy markets and threatens one of the world’s most critical oil routes, Russian President Vladimir Putin is signaling that Moscow stands ready to step back into Europe’s energy market, if European leaders are willing to drop the “political pressure.”

Speaking Monday during a televised meeting with government officials and executives from Russia’s largest energy firms, including Gazprom, Rosneft, and Transneft, Putin said Russia remains prepared to resume large-scale oil and gas cooperation with European buyers under long-term agreements, according to Reuters.

The comments come as global energy markets face growing instability following U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran and the potential for disruptions to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints.

Putin made it clear that Moscow has never closed the door on Europe. Instead, he suggested it was European political decisions, particularly sanctions and energy bans, that cut the continent off from Russian hydrocarbons.

According to the Kremlin, any renewed cooperation must guarantee “sustainability and stability” in trade relations, an apparent reference to the sweeping sanctions and energy restrictions imposed by the European Union after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“If European companies and European buyers suddenly decide to reorient themselves and provide us with long-term, sustainable cooperation, free from political pressures, free from political pressures, then yes, we’ve never refused it. We’re ready to work with Europeans too. But we need some signals from them that they’re ready and willing to work with us and will ensure this sustainability and stability,” Putin said.

A stunning new investigation highlighted on Fox News has raised serious questions about whether the anti-Trump protests erupting across the country over the Iran conflict are truly “grassroots” or part of a coordinated, well-funded activist network backed by radical groups and foreign-linked money.

As The Gateway Pundit has relentlessly exposed in our previous reporting, these “protests” are nothing but astroturf operations – fake outrage bought and paid for by deep-pocketed leftists and foreign influencers.

During a deep dive on his program, Fox News host Will Cain pulled back the curtain on a tightly connected ecosystem of far-left activist organizations repeatedly showing up behind anti-Trump, anti-ICE, pro-Palestine, and now pro-Iran protests.

And according to Cain, the same names and the same funding sources appear again and again.

Cain pointed to several organizations whose logos and organizing infrastructure repeatedly appear on protest posters and social-media calls to action.

Among the most prominent:

ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism)

National Iranian American Council (NIAC)

The People’s Forum

Code Pink

These organizations have frequently organized demonstrations opposing U.S. foreign policy, immigration enforcement, and Israeli military operations. Continue...

Boeing shares fell a little more than 3% in late-morning trading in New York after a new report from The Wall Street Journal stated that deliveries of some narrow-body 737 MAX jets would be delayed following the discovery of scratched wiring on newly built aircraft.

Boeing told the WSJ that each affected jet can be fixed within days and that the wiring flaw will not derail its target of delivering about 500 737 MAX jets this year, though March deliveries could be slowed.

The wiring issue is yet another manufacturing setback as Boeing tries to demonstrate to FAA regulators that it has improved quality control following the January 2024 midair door-plug blowout, the two 737 MAX crashes, and other quality-related issues related to the narrow-body jet. Continue...

Archer Accuses Flying Taxi Rival Joby Of Depending On Chinese Suppliers

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/archer-accuses-flying-taxi-rival-joby-depending-chinese-suppliers

Flying taxi maker Archer Aviation has alleged that its rival Joby Aviation has been misleading regulators and investors for years by hiding its connections to China.

In a March 9 filing in federal court in California, Archer accused Joby of running a manufacturing unit in Shenzhen, China, for more than a decade that received government grants intended to spur technological development and of carrying out fraudulent business practices that gave it an improper competitive edge.

“Joby has falsely presented itself as a domestically rooted, American-made, fully vertically integrated aviation company while covertly relying on its Chinese manufacturing subsidiary,” Archer alleged in the filing.

The lawsuit alleges that the company later hid aerospace components shipped from that facility by falsely labeling thousands of pounds of imported components as mundane consumer goods such as hair clips, napkins, socks, and similar products.

This approach, the suit alleges, allowed Joby to “evade U.S. tariffs, distort competition, improperly secure government contracts and strategic partnerships, and circumvent national-security oversight.”

Archer’s counterclaim, filed in a lawsuit initiated by Joby, further argues that Joby secured at least $131 million in U.S. Air Force contracts while marketing its aircraft as committed to American innovation, raising national security concerns in areas in which Chinese supply chain dependencies were not fully disclosed.

Alex Spiro, an attorney for Joby, said in a statement to The Epoch Times that the company “doesn’t respond to nonsense.”

“Archer’s constant legal issues and flailing business operations have left it no choice but to resort to invented nonsensical theories,” Spiro said in a statement. “We will see them in court.” Continue...

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/ontario-drug-offender-gets-house-arrest-after-10-months-at-unusually-harsh-maplehurst-prison

Because of the “unusually harsh” conditions he endured at Ontario’s Maplehurst Correctional Complex, a drug trafficker can continue to serve the remainder of his sentence from the comfort of home, a three-judge appeal court panel has decided.

In a decision published recently, the Appeal Court of Ontario said the two-year custodial sentence handed down to Mohammad Oryia for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000 “was fit when imposed.”

But upon reviewing the fresh evidence from Oryia’s time at the maximum and medium security prison in Milton, the appeal court ruled “continued incarceration would exceed what is necessary to achieve the purposes of sentencing,” wrote Chief Justice Michael Tulloch.

“The objectives of denunciation and deterrence have been substantially met.”

Oryia immigrated to Canada from Afghanistan as an infant in 2001, the youngest of five kids who grew up “taking pride in his Afghan heritage,” but was bullied over his race at school and turned to “negative peers” instead of addressing his resulting anxiety and depression.

“Family members and a close friend attributed his eventual involvement in criminal activity to this period of vulnerability,” the judge wrote. Continue...

Tumbler Ridge shooting survivor Maya Gebala given a 'brain holiday' by neurosurgeons, her father says

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/tumbler-ridge-maya-gebala-brain-holiday

Neurosurgeons at the BC Children’s Hospital are giving Tumber Ridge shooting victim Maya Gebala a “brain holiday,” according to her father.

David Gebala reported through a GoFundMe page set up for Maya that the neurosurgical team spoke with him on Monday and said they are “very happy” with the results from a drain in Maya’s head. There has been “virtually no” cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) coming from the drain, he said. A buildup of CSF would indicate brain swelling and pressure that could result in damage to brain tissue.

“With that in mind,” he writes, “the decision was made today to remove the drain. They explained that they’re giving her what they call a ‘brain holiday,’ allowing her brain some time to rest while also reducing the risk of infection.” Continue...

Canadians Now Being Harassed For Online Speech | A Violation Of The Canadian Charter Of Rights | Stand On The Right Side of History Police = Uphold Your Oath | Updated

https://www.truth11.com/canadians-now-being-harassed-for-online-speech-a-violation-of-the-canadian-charter-of-rights-stand-on-the-right-side-of-history-police-uphold-your-oath/

As has been happening in England now comes to Canada. Canadians are being harassed for comments online. As you can hear from the persons response in the video below; Canadians won't put up with this bullshit.

Free speech is in the Canadian charter which makes laws and bills like Bill C-9 trying to curb online speech invalid. They have exceptions with respect to hate speech. Opinions and the statement of facts are not hate or threats.

This lady is being harassed for making online quotes. For not liking the Canadian prime minister. Police stated her comments were threatening. She asks for clarification on what threats she made, and the police do not provide them, they repeat that her comments are threats. Not liking your Prime minister is a persons opinion, not hatred and it is not threatening. Yet they focus on that point to try to state they are in the right.

She repeatedly asks the police officer to show her what threats she made, and despite the police having the quotes on his phone, he does not show her and says if she continues to make threats she can be arrested and charged. Keeping the focus on the word threat. So he thinks he has a legal leg to stand on. Saying someone threatened in a comment is not the same as someone making a threatening comment.

She correctly points out the Police are threatening her with arrest if she continues to make comments about the prime minister, for her non threatening comments.

Bullying people, without proof of a specific threat is going against the oath of the police to uphold the Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms.

Stand up Canada

A lot of Canadians resisted during the Covid scam despite the majority falling for the Covid lie. The right to free speech is a much clearer issue, no grannies to save, and there is no confusion.

Ottawa appeals Emergencies Act decision to Supreme Court of Canada

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/ottawa-appeals-emergencies-act-decision-to-supreme-court-of-canada/71993

The federal government is seeking to have the Supreme Court of Canada review its use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 convoy protests, following a series of court rulings that found the decision unjustified.

The Federal Court of Appeal recently dismissed Ottawa’s attempt to overturn a lower court ruling that determined former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the act was unlawful and violated Charter rights.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Justice Minister Sean Fraser said the government remains committed to ensuring it has the necessary tools to respond to threats to public order and national security.

The legal challenge was brought forward by several groups, including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation. They argued the government did not meet the legal threshold required to declare a public order emergency. Continue...

Quebec Budget Projects $8.6B Deficit, Focuses on Core Services

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/quebec-budget-projects-8-6b-deficit-focuses-on-core-services-6000661?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

Quebec’s new budget focuses on maintaining core services like health and education, with no flashy big-ticket spending ahead of a fall general election.

Gone are the recent years of tax cuts and government cheques of hundreds of dollars to Quebec households.

Instead, Finance Minister Eric Girard says his budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year reflects persistent economic uncertainty, primarily due to the trade conflict with the United States.

The $170.8-billion budget projects a deficit of $8.6 billion, a number that includes a $2-billion contingency reserve and a $2.3-billion legally required payment into a fund to repay the province’s debt.

The biggest budget item is health care, with spending forecast to be $68.7 billion, a rise of 4.1 percent.

Quebec’s GDP is expected to grow by 1.1 percent in 2026—but that assumes U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods are stable over the short term.

Girard’s budget forecasts a GDP contraction of 0.2 percent if the Trump administration decides to exit the North American free-trade agreement, which is up for review in July.

Saskatchewan has introduced a new budget that avoids tax hikes and program cuts but carries with it a big deficit.

Premier Scott Moe’s Saskatchewan Party government spending plan for 2026-27 projects the bottom line will be $819 million in the red.

The government also predicts more deficits in the years to follow.

Finance Minister Jim Reiter says the province is protecting public services by not making cuts or raising taxes.

“We chose to protect Saskatchewan,” Reiter told reporters Wednesday before introducing the budget in the legislature.

“We could have increased some taxes. We could’ve not put as much funding into key areas like health care. We decided now is not the time to be doing that.”

The budget shows the province plans to spend nearly an extra $1.2 billion, with most of the dollars going to health care, education, social services and policing.

Revenues are also projected to be up by $360 million, largely due to the province receiving more provincial sales taxes, but it expects less money from natural resources.

Defence Minister David McGuinty says Ottawa will fulfil its pledge to meet NATO’s defence spending target of 2 percent of GDP by the end of this month.

McGuinty made the remarks during a March 18 press conference announcing increased funding for domestic ammunition production. He was asked by reporters whether Canada might fail to meet the target by the end of the fiscal year, given what a reporter described as an apparent “last-minute spending spree” in the sector.

“No, it’s not possible. We will be achieving our 2 percent spend by March 31,” McGuinty replied.

“This is not about a last-minute spending spree,“ he added. ”This is a systematic rollout, executing on a plan that was devised some time ago, and we’ll have more to say about this as time rolls on.”

McGuinty said Ottawa is now “laying track” for its plan to achieve its 3.5 percent target by 2029-2030, and its target of 5 percent by 2035.

Ottawa has pledged to invest the equivalent of 2 percent of its GDP in defence this fiscal year, which ends on March 31. Continue...

The Bank of Canada has left its key rate at 2.25 percent for a third consecutive meeting, while warning the ongoing conflict in the Middle East will raise global inflationary pressures and squeeze Canadians’ purchasing power.

“The war in Iran is causing oil prices to move sharply higher, and this will push up inflation in the short term. Canada’s economy is dealing with a lot, and now we face more volatility,” Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said on March 18.

Oil prices have surged to nearly US$100 a barrel since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, and Iran responded by virtually closing the crucial Strait of Hormuz waterway and attacking the energy infrastructure of several Gulf countries. The Bank of Canada said the conflict has increased uncertainty in global energy and financial markets, and the scope and length of the war is uncertain. Continue...

Canada mortgage billionaire buys stake in The Economist magazine

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canada-mortgage-billionaire-buys-stake-in-the-economist-magazine

Canadian mortgage billionaire Stephen Smith has agreed to buy a minority stake in The Economist Group, marking the first ownership shake-up in the storied British current affairs magazine in a decade.

Smith and his family holding company Smith Financial Corp. will buy the entire 26.9% stake held by, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, her family and her family foundation, representatives for the companies said in emailed statements.

The price of the transaction wasn’t disclosed, and the agreement is subject to certain closing conditions. The Horizont website reported earlier that Smith was looking to buy the stake.

The deal sees another wealthy mogul added to The Economist’s list of owners, which includes Italy’s Agnelli industrial dynasty and members of the Cadbury and Schroder families. The magazine was founded in 1843 by Scottish businessman and politician James Wilson, an opponent of Britain’s Corn Laws that restricted the import of grain to benefit local landowning elites. The magazine — which describes itself as a newspaper — has successfully transformed into a digital subscription publication and is popular with business and political elites for its long-form analysis and knowing style.

The stake is Smith’s first foray into media after he made the bulk of his estimated $3.6 billion fortune by investing in Canada’s mortgage market, co-founding mortgage lender First National Financial Corp. and acquiring other lenders in defiance of an anticipated housing crash.

Forester de Rothschild has been seeking to sell her stake as part of a long-term reshaping of her investment portfolio, Bloomberg previously reported.

The Economist Group includes The Economist magazine, website, app and podcasts as well as the Economist Intelligence Unit, which provides research on macro economic and geopolitical topics and event organizer Economist Impact.

It employs about 1,540 staff in 26 countries, reported revenue of £369 million ($492 million) and operating profit of about £48 million in the year to March 31, according to its 2025 annual report. Subscriptions rose 3% year-on-year to 1.25 million, boosted by digital subscriptions, which accounted for 85% of new starts.

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/two-loblaw-stores-fined-10k-for-mislabelling-imported-products-as-canadian

Two Loblaw‑owned grocery stores in Toronto have been fined for mislabelling imported products as Canadian.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued two administrative penalties of $10,000 each to the stores for misleading country‑of‑origin claims on in‑store signage and displays.

One store, a Real Canadian Superstore, advertised President’s Choice broccoli slaw with maple leaf decals and a “Product of Canada” shelf tag, despite the bags being labelled “Product of USA.”

In the other, a Fortinos store, owned by Loblaw, was fined $10,000 for showing an imported food product as Canadian using maple‑leaf imagery and origin claims in the signage.

The CFIA scrutiny of major grocers, such as Loblaw and Sobeys, has recently ramped up because of a surge in “maple‑washing” complaints, according to retail-insider.com. It has prompted the agency to move from “quiet warnings to public monetary penalties” and more aggressive enforcement. Continue...

Kent made his first interview appearance since departing the Trump Administration with Tucker and gave a somewhat tell-all behind-the-scenes account of many of his experiences as a top intelligence official, especially with regard to the war in Iran, Israel’s influence, and the factors driving the war.

He is also expected to join Mark Levin, who holds an opposing viewpoint and has clashed with Tucker for the last several months, for an interview. Continue...

President Trump on Wednesday announced on Truth Social that Israel hit a “major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” prompting Iran to launch retaliatory attacks on Qatar’s liquid natural gas facility at Ras Laffan Industrial City.

Qatari officials said Iran’s attacks caused “extensive damage” to the area of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export facility, describing the move as “dangerous escalation, flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to its national security and regional stability.”

Trump’s statement confirms reports that Israel launched the initial attacks on the South Pars gas field.

According to Semafor, Joe Kent, the top counterterrorism official who just resigned in protest of the Iran war, is under FBI investigation for leaking classified information.

The investigation predates Kent’s departure, Semafor’s White House correspondent reported...

...On Tuesday, Fox News’ White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich said Joe Kent was a “known leaker” and was cut out of President Trump’s intel briefings months ago.

President Trump was asked about Joe Kent’s resignation during an Oval Office meeting with the Taoiseach of Ireland, Micheál Martin.

“I always thought he was weak on security. Very weak on security,” Trump said.

“I didn’t know him well. But I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy,” he said.

“But when I read his statement, I realized that it’s a good thing he’s out because he said Iran was not a threat,” Trump added.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/leftist-civil-rights-icon-cesar-chavez-accused-years/

A major investigation by The New York Times has raised child asexual abuse allegations against Cesar Chavez, the leftist labor activist long celebrated as a civil rights figure.

The report outlines claims from multiple women who say Chavez abused them while they were minors during the 1970s, when he was at the height of his national influence.

Two women, Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas, allege they were targeted as young teenagers while their families were closely involved in the United Farm Workers, the organization Chavez co-founded.

Both described a pattern of manipulation and abuse, they say, that continued over a number of years.

According to the investigation, their accounts are supported by interviews with more than 60 individuals, as well as internal union records, emails, photographs, and archival materials.

The report suggests the allegations were not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern of behavior involving women connected to the movement: Continue...

On March 16, 2026, Trafalgar Square, often seen as the heart of London’s imperial and Christian heritage, changed in a new way. Instead of tourists or the usual crowds around Nelson’s Column, thousands of Muslim worshippers gathered for a mass Open Iftar and public prayers during Ramadan. The Islamic call to prayer, the adhan, echoed across the square.

Videos show rows of men kneeling, with amplified speakers broadcasting Arabic prayers over one of Britain’s most famous landmarks. This was not a quiet or private event. It was a public gathering, openly supported by London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s administration.

Conservative MP Nick Timothy spoke out strongly and described the event as “an act of domination” and “straight from the Islamist playbook.”

Timothy, who once advised Theresa May at Downing Street, argued that these visible displays of Islamic identity in historic public spaces are not just about multiculturalism. He said they are deliberate statements of supremacy that do not fit with Britain’s Christian foundations and national identity. Continue...
