Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux, who switched from Conservatives to Liberals last week, joins as a special advisor, prompting outrage from critics like James Bezan who call it 'payback' and a taxpayer perk for a 'traitor.'

Key TakeawayPrime Minister Mark Carney heads out on a nine-day trip to strengthen ties with India, Australia, and Japan, but the invite for a recent Conservative defector has Conservatives fuming.

Netanyahu Rebukes Left's Genocide Claims and Right's DNA Test DemandsFebruary 25, 2026 10:18 PM Full SummarySpeaking to the AIPAC Policy Conference on Tuesday, Netanyahu criticized left-wing accusations of genocide in Gaza and right-wing calls for Jews to take DNA tests to prove their identity. He referenced a recent Tucker Carlson interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, where Carlson questioned Jewish land claims and alleged Netanyahu invoked biblical references to target Palestinians—a charge Israeli officials deny. Netanyahu defended Israel's military operations as minimizing civilian harm while fighting Hamas, amid ongoing debates over U.S. aid and Zionism as Jewish self-determination in their ancestral homeland. Key TakeawayIn a direct video address, Benjamin Netanyahu called out extremists on both sides for dangerous rhetoric against Israel and Jews. Context & EntitiesTopics
