Quebec’s 25 richest people and the empires behind their billions
To break into Quebec’s wealthiest club, you’ll need more than a billion dollars. That’s the entry price for The Gazette’s inaugural Rich List, which ranks the province’s 25 wealthiest individuals and families.
Together, they hold nearly $87 billion in net worth, from a convenience-store empire and dairy dynasty, to a paper fortune and finance giant. This elite crowd has quietly stacked billions.
Some inherited it. Some built it. A few did both. But they all have one thing in common: they’re the richest people in the province.
New York Times admits migrant ‘conspiracy theory’ it scolded Donald Trump for is TRUE
Donald Trump has been vindicated after The New York Times accused him of pushing a false conspiracy theory about a migrant gang taking over a Colorado apartment building… only for the paper to now admit those same claims were true.
One article published last September scolded Trump for his ‘false’ claims that Aurora was overrun with Tren de Aragua goons.
But a recent investigation published by the esteemed paper now concedes the Denver suburb is indeed a hotspot for the Venezuelan gangsters.

“The Left’s goal is to dismantle Western civilisation, which they see as the foundation of the ‘oppressors.’”
CBC six-figure salaries soar
The number of staff at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation collecting six figure salaries has more than doubled since 2015, according to access-to-information records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“Taxpayers don’t need all these extra CBC employees taking six-figure salaries,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “The government should save money by taking air out of its highly paid bureaucracy and that includes Crown corporations like the CBC.”

PINDER: Prairie defiance… the West is ready to call Ottawa’s bluff
The wheels are in motion, and the independence‑referendum train has already left the station. Decades of neglect and abuse of Western interests have created unprecedented frustration. From where I sit, Central Canada will never treat the Western provinces as full partners in the federation.
JD Vance Artfully Connects Trump’s Immigration Policies to America’s Founding Vision
‘You cannot swap 10 million people from anywhere in the world and expect America to remain unchanged.’
Vice President JD Vance gave a speech last Saturday in which he tied together the Trump administration’s immigration policies to the core of American citizenship as envisioned in the country’s founding. Vance argued, “President Trump’s immigration policies are, I believe, the most important part of his successful first six months in the Oval Office.”
Vance addressed the topic of statesmanship and the meaning of American citizenship in the 21st century, emphasizing how principles of immigration policy are pivotal to understanding citizenship and national sovereignty.
Staff Sgt. Gender Nazi has company: Extremist RCMP officer under criminal investigation for threats against Trump during G7
A Quebec RCMP officer is under criminal investigation for making threatening comments in connection with U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the G7, our Bureau of Investigation has learned.
According to our information, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) employee was deployed to Alberta last month as part of the G7, a gathering of heads of state from the world’s largest economies.
Clearly the extremists are inside the gates.
The GeRCs have been compromised, but we knew that already. @fancypants_s https://t.co/0LTHrmT83f

Jamie Sarkonak: The CRTC is trying to tell local newsrooms what to report. It needs to stop
It shouldn’t be the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s job to regulate the demographic composition of the people we see on television. Nevertheless, it’s become a growing CRTC priority — and a critical threat to media independence in Canada.
WTF?

Zohran Mamdani, AI, and the Job Apocalypse
The disaffected laptop class fears the artificial intelligence revolution.
Does Zohran Mamdani, an unapologetic socialist, owe his political rise as New York City’s leading mayoral candidate to artificial intelligence?
We’re not referring to whether Mamdani, a TikTok and Instagram virtuoso, used AI to help propel himself to victory in the primaries (he may have). Instead, consider the anxieties that AI is fueling in the demographic that voted for him. Ever since ChatGPT ignited the modern AI era, we’ve seen a stream of headlines and studies predicting that AI will soon perform virtually all knowledge work. Mamdani captured his big majorities among the laptop class of middle- and upper-middle income citizens, not in working-class neighborhoods. Socialism’s central nostrum—that well-intentioned experts and ruling elites should tame the predations of market and technology disruptions—becomes more appealing during periods of social and economic upheaval.
Hunting Down Russian Spies With Norway’s Intelligence Service
KIRKENES, Norway—Paranoia pervades the placid border town of Kirkenes in Norway’s far north. Residents are routinely trailed by unknown men. The Wall Street Journal’s camera crew was photographed and followed around town by a suspicious vehicle with no license plate. Most locals warn you to keep your wits about you because, as one said in a hushed tone, “the Russians are watching.”
The Journal’s video shows us accompanying Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, the PST, on patrol for Russian spies. We meet residents convinced they are under Russian surveillance and we find out firsthand what it feels like to be trailed.
The police will be there immediately – in more than two hours
Last year, a Toronto police officer speaking at a community event suggested that residents leave their car keys by their front door to avoid violent confrontations with potential home invaders. The implication was that break-and-enters in the area were simply going to happen – home invasions and auto theft occurrences had risen 400 per cent the previous year, according to the Toronto Police Service – so it was best to give the criminals what they wanted: your car.
