"There's a lot of work that needs to be done,' says Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino Public Safety Marco Mendicino sought to assure Ottawa residents Tuesday that the chaos in the city will soon end as local law enforcement, bolstered by the RCMP, works around the clock to restore order. Empowered by the federal government's move to invoke the Emergencies Act, police will soon establish "no-go" zones in the city's downtown core to control unruly crowds associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy protest, the minister said. People who defy orders to leave, he added, will face fines of jail time,...

I remember our daily food always coming from a long, long line at the end of which was a loaf of bread, a liter of milk, a stick of butter, a bottle of murky cooking oil, or a kilo of bones with traces of meat and fat on them. [...] If we wanted to eat, we learned at a very young age that we had to stand in long lines every day, often in bitter cold at 4 a.m. in hopes that the store would not run out of bread or milk by the time we made it to the...

President Obama has said the outrage over the federal government’s decision to monitor citizens’ phone activity is all “hype.” He might want to share his opinion with the Air Force, which is ordering members of the service not to look at news stories about it.

TIMISOARA, Romania – To the strains of strings playing Christmas carols, Romanians paid homage Wednesday to the fighters who took to the streets of this Transylvanian city 20 years ago, sparking the revolution that swept Eastern Europe's most repressive dictator from power. It was here that residents flocked to the defense of an ethnic Hungarian dissident pastor who was being threatened with forced relocation, leading to rapidly escalating confrontations with police.

I am watching Chris Matthews on MSNBC. He has on an Iraqi-born American whose brother is a marine in Baghdad. He said that his brother is telling him that most of the fighters in Baghdad are not Iraqis, but are mostly Egyptians, Syrians and Palestinian arabs! It seems to me that when Ceaucescu was overthrown in Romania, it was also the Palestinians who were fighting to defend the old, dictatorial regime.
