Liberals are on the upswing but five weeks is a very long time in politics so anything can happen. A wildcard in these races could be the spike in gas prices due to the Iran war and could quickly turn into a central issue considering Carney's support for the US-Israeli strikes, in particular in...

Hanwha taps in Peter Mansbridge to promote its bid. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/03/09/submarine-company-taps-former-news-anchor-peter-mansbridge-to-voice-ad/

Trump continues his attacks on the U.K. after their initial reluctance to allow use of their military bases to support the strikes on Iran.

I suspect his primary motivation is to plunder their resources to benefit his family and friends.

Holding foreign leaders accountable to U.S. law always seemed insane to me. It'd be one thing if they were trying them in the Hague or a U.N. court...

In theory, yes. High housing costs and crumbling health care should've sunk the Ford conservatives by now and they've skated free, so who knows what the electorate will care about come voting time.

There was some speculation on here regarding future Alto pricing. The project's CEO shed some light on their intentions in a recent interview with CBC Radio Canada: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2229871/construction-troncon-quebec-montreal-tgv-alto

The idea of splitting the submarine order has been shut down. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-submarine-contract-fuhr-9.7115986

The press gallery has been going pretty hard at Carney the last couple days in Australia. They seem to smell blood with his statements on the Iran war, and appear to have a chip on their shoulder after he avoided talking to media for several days on this international trip. His media strategy...

It's looking like the next covid convoy-like movement in Canada will arise from opposition to this HSR project. Outlets like Rebel News are already pushing heavy coverage of the local groups opposing the project. Will be interesting to see if the Federal conservatives fully support them in...

Based on Trump's interview with ABC, sounds like the U.S. is willing to work with members of the regime but Israel is determined to take away that option. Tough to tell how much of Trump's incoherent ramblings are real or spin.

Minimal chance that the Americans stay in the conflict more than a month or two. They don't have the appetite for the cost it'll take and Trump doesn't seem all that invested in regime change. It's becoming clear they didn't think this all the way thru. They'll go back and accept the concessions...

This is so insane that I had to double check if it was real...

A reminder that Iran's first match in the World Cup is three and half months away in Los Angeles. Darkly humorous considering the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize...
