Canada has taken a major step toward enforcing chilling restrictions on religious expression after lawmakers passed controversial legislation that will criminalize quoting parts of the Bible under the globalist government’s “hate speech” laws.
Members of Parliament approved Bill C-9, dubbed the “Combatting Hate Act,” in a 186–137 vote.
The ruling Liberal Party and left-wing Bloc Québécois MPs are pushing the measure through.
News24 | Trump pushes for Strait of Hormuz reopening without tolls, White House says– www.news24.com
US President Donald Trump wants to see the Strait of Hormuz open up for oil tankers and other traffic without any limitations, including tolls, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, April 8. /TASS/. Iranian representatives offered the United States a revised proposal that has been taken as a basis for negotiations on a potential settlement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a press briefing.
“The Iranians originally put forward a 10-point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable and completely discarded. It was literally thrown in the garbage by [US] President [Donald] Trump and his negotiating team. Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that is false,” she noted.
Iranian-Canadian communities in Vancouver and Toronto say a temporary ceasefire has brought some relief, but deep concern remains for loved ones in Iran following threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire after Trump’s latest warnings raised alarms internationally.
Human rights advocate Soushiant Zanganehpour said the rhetoric marked a sharp escalation.

Brussels would rather “paralyze” the member state or stage a coup than allow Viktor Orban to stay in power, Karin Kneissl has told RT
The US and EU are engaged in a political “proxy war” in Hungary, with Washington and Brussels backing rival sides ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections, according to former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl.
Kneissl made the remarks in an interview with RT as US Vice President J.D. Vance visited Budapest on Tuesday in a show of support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are set to meet with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House Wednesday, following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
Federal immigration officers from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot a man on Tuesday morning during a law enforcement action in Stanislaus County, California, authorities said. The shooting occurred during a vehicle stop along Interstate 5 near Sperry Avenue in Patterson.The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the incident involved ICE agents and that no local law enforcement officers were directly involved in the shooting.
Donald Trump’s ceasefire appears to be in the brink of collapse after Iran launched a series of “blatant” missile and drone attacks on Gulf neighbours. The US President had last night boasted there was no question the US had won a “total and complete victory” in the war against the Islamic Republic which America launched alongside Israel on February 28.
Trump and Washington had come under mounting pressure after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz by threatening to attack shipping. The vital waterway usually carries around 20% of the world’s oil and gas supplies.
Women who aren’t married are throwing wedding themed birthdays. It’s almost like they’re trying to compensate for something. President Donald Trump has not enacted Power Plant and Bridge Day as the Iranians appear to want to make a deal. The Left reacts. Poorly.
Shippers looking to revive the passage of tankers through the Strait of Hormuz were seeking clarity on the logistics on Wednesday, while refiners inquired about new crude loadings, in response to a ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran.
Most stranded oil and gas tankers remained inside the Gulf, LSEG shipping data showed, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the two-week ceasefire and said the U.S. would help with the traffic build-up.

Underscoring the precarity of the situation, Iranian state media announced fresh “missile and drone attacks” Wednesday on US-allied Gulf states UAE and Kuwait in retaliation for airstrikes against its oil facilities.
Kuwait said its oil facilities and power and desalination plants were damaged in “an intense wave” of strikes that lasted hours, and demanded Iran cease its attacks.
The UAE said it was intercepting Iranian attacks while Bahrain also said its capital Manama had been hit.

ROME — Pope Leo XIV said Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization was “truly unacceptable” and said any attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law.
In some of his strongest comments yet against the war, Leo urged Americans and other people of good will to contact their political leaders and congressional representatives to demand they reject war and work for peace.
“Today as we all know there was this threat against all the people of Iran. This is truly unacceptable,” he said as he left his country house in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome.
He was referring to Trump’s threat that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran fails to meet his latest deadline to strike a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
If there is one country that can ill-afford a prolonged Strait of Hormuz closure, it is France, the Eurozone’s second-largest member country. Even before the Strait’s closure, France had unsustainable public finances. Those finances were proving difficult to correct in the context of its sclerotic economy, its fragmented politics, and its being stuck in a Euro straitjacket. The energy and fertilizer price spike resulting from the Strait’s closure will substantially exacerbate France’s public finance problem. In turn, that raises the real risk of another round of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, especially given the French government’s high dependence on external borrowing to finance its gaping budget deficit.

“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored.”
The Trump administration is set to investigate the euthanasia death of 25-year-old Noelia Castillo, who was a sexual-assault survivor. After she was placed in a group home as a teenager she was gang raped by African migrants, leading her to try to take her own life by jumping from a building. She ended up paralyzed and eventually sought suicide. Her family tried to stop her and when that failed they took legal action.
The State Department directed the US Embassy in Madrid to probe how Spanish law enforcement handled repeated sexual attacks against Castillo before her death, according to a report from the New York Post citing a leaked diplomatic cable. “We are deeply concerned by allegations that Ms. Castillo was repeatedly sexually assaulted while under state care and that no perpetrators have been brought to justice,” the cable read.
“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored,” the cable added. “This case raises serious concerns about the application of Spain’s euthanasia law, particularly in cases involving psychiatric conditions and non-terminal suffering.”
Critical minerals are mined all over the world but the majority of the supply ends up passing through China. For a broad range of key metals and minerals, China is either the largest miner, the dominant refiner, or both. This is true for rare earths, lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, and many other metals and minerals that are essential to defense, energy and high-tech applications.
It is less about where ores are dug out of the ground and more about where they are turned into usable components. In other words, Chinese processing plants are essentially the gatekeepers of global supply.
The Israeli government instituted a policy prohibiting Christian Palestinian teachers who live in the West Bank from working in any of the 15 Christian schools in Jerusalem in a move that threatens to weaken the two-millennia presence of Christians in the Holy City.
School principals in Jerusalem recently received letters from the Israeli Ministry of Education stipulating that beginning in September they are required to only hire teachers who reside in the city and hold Israeli-issued qualifications.
The March 10 directive comes in the wake of a bill approved last July by the Education Committee of the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) aimed at prohibiting Palestinian teachers who earned their degrees at institutions in the West Bank from teaching in Israel or the occupied East Jerusalem.
In a decision released this morning, Finland’s supreme court voted 3-2 to convict a bishop and a member of parliament for publishing a pamphlet explaining Christian theology about sexual differences. The decision could tacitly ban orthodox Christianity in Finland by banning Christians from speaking about what the Bible clearly says.
Bishop Juhana Pohjola and Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen face thousands of euros in fines and their challenged Christian speech “removed from public access and destroyed,” the court ordered, unless they successfully appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. If they appeal, the case could affect speech and conscience rights worldwide.
Israel has passed a law making the death penalty by hanging the default punishment for West Bank Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis.
The UK, Germany, France and Italy said the move was “de facto discriminatory” and “Israel risks undermining its commitments to democratic principles”.
A joint statement called the death penalty “an inhumane and degrading form of punishment without any deterrent effect”.
UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper posted the statement on X, adding: “The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world.”
In case you were still wondering why the Democrats were so militant about funding Ukraine and why Democrats and RINOs are now targeting Orban.
Watch Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, lay out explosive charges that Ukrainian funds were funneled through Europe to influence U.S. elections and benefit Democrats.This major scandal has serious legal and national security implications, raising urgent questions about foreign money, campaign integrity, and the handling of U.S. taxpayer funds tied to the Ukraine war.

As the global press grappled with a string of gut-wrenching, dystopian euthanasia stories – the latest of which is the killing of a young Spanish gang rape victim – the Canadian press is still publishing overtly eugenicist propaganda.
On March 25, CTV published a story on the impending death – now carried out – of John Maloney, who was suffering from partial blindness. The headline: “3 days before his medically assisted death, this Alberta man is reflecting on ‘his right to die.’”
The CTV suicide puff piece detailed John Maloney’s choice of music to serve as the soundtrack to his lethal injection; noted approvingly that Maloney, “[a]s a Christian,” was “preparing for his final moments” as “a practice in bodily autonomy,” and quotes Maloney as saying that although God forbids suicide, he thinks that God “gets it.” It is enough to make one shudder. (The press only quotes religiosity approvingly when it can be done in service of an anti-Christian agenda.)
The final round of polls in Peru ahead of Sunday’s upcoming presidential election indicate that conservative former first lady and former Senator Keiko Fujimori is slated to win in the first round of the vote.
Peru, a country that has had nine presidents in the last ten years, will hold presidential and legislative elections on April 12 — the first such electoral event since 2021. The presidential race follows a series of impeachments that began with the removal of Marxist former President Pedro Castillo in December 2022, followed by the impeachment of Dina Boluarte in October 2025 and the ouster of interim President Jose Jerí in February.
President Trump gave the Iranian regime until 8 pm tonight to agree to a ceasefire deal. He made it very clear that Iran is either going to disarm and open the Strait of Hormuz, or he will bomb the regime into submission.

Of course, the Left is melting down over this, calling the legitimate targeting of infrastructure “war crimes,” while they spent the past three years turning a blind eye to the actual war crimes committed by Hamas and the past 47 ignoring the terrorism Iran has carried out around the globe.

Both President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth invoked God Monday during a White House press conference detailing the rescues of two U.S. airmen whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran.
“God was watching us—amazing,” Trump said, noting that it happened around “Easter territory.”
The entire ordeal played out over Easter weekend, beginning with the traumatic shootdown of the fighter jet on Good Friday and concluding with the dramatic rescue of the second airman on Easter Sunday.
