Kelly McParland: Poilievre needs to earn an extension as leader
Canada’s federal Conservatives are stuck with a dilemma as they consider whether to do anything different in the next two years than they did in the last two.
At the centre of the dilemma are a host of riddles. As in, did they actually lose the last election? Sure, they didn’t win, but did they lose lose? Like, did Canadians actually reject them, or did something else happen that got in the way of the victory they anticipated?
Carney = Trudeau. Wait.
WTF?

Canada’s PM faces backlash for inviting India’s Narendra Modi for G7 summit
Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has defended his decision to invite India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, to the upcoming G7 summit in Alberta, despite the conclusion of Canada’s federal police’s that the murder of a prominent Sikh activist in British Columbia was orchestrated by the “highest levels” of the Indian government.
Carney declined to answer reporters’ questions over whether he believed Modi had a role in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar – a killing on Canadian soil that shattered relations between the two countries.
“There is a legal process that is literally under way and quite advanced in Canada, and it’s never appropriate to make comments with respect to those legal processes,” he said on Friday. Four Indian nationals living in Canada have been charged with Nijjar’s murder.
China, India, Palestine there is no slimy entity Carney won’t chat up if it means a profit.

‘I had 30 Lamborghinis’: Pablo Escobar’s top cocaine pilot gives first interview
A man who eventually became Pablo Escobar’s go-to cocaine pilot has revealed that he first turned down an employment offer from the notorious Colombian drug lord because he was content with the $4m a month he was earning while flying for a competitor.
But, in a new podcast containing what is believed to be his first interview since authorities arrested him at his Florida mansion in 1988, Tirso “TJ” Dominguez recounted how he changed his mind about working for Escobar when the so-called Patron – or boss – offered him a salary that was five times higher: $20m monthly.
“I had 30 Lamborghinis, and I dressed well,” Dominguez says of his ensuing lifestyle during the eight-part documentary podcast titled Cocaine Air, a copy of which was provided to the Guardian. “They brought me the car that matched the shirt that I decided to wear that day.”
Greta Thunberg and the Gaza Clownshow
Greta Thunberg recently emerged from the cultural wilderness to board a boat destined for Gaza. Clutching a microphone, tears running down her face, she announced that she was there to raise “international awareness”. Cameras clicked, the Palestinian flag fluttered, and the sea swallowed the horizon. To some, it was courage. To others, a shameless stunt. But for anyone who’s been watching closely, this was the final contortion of dissent into something pre-packaged and painfully self-serving.
Inside the police investigation into the human smuggling network behind the deaths of nine people on the St. Lawrence River in 2023.
As the interrogation approached three hours, Cpl. John Snider placed a photo on the table and asked Thesingarasan Rasiah if he remembered the news about the deaths on the river.
The photo, a still image from an airport terminal security camera, showed four people — two women, two men — carrying backpacks.
Rasiah sat slumped and leaning over his chair’s left armrest inside the Cornwall RCMP detachment, his greying hair and beard grown long from months in provincial jail.
“Do you remember one of the families that died on the river?” said Snider.
The Hurricane Hoax: What the IPCC Doesn’t Want You to Know
June 1st has arrived, marking the official start of hurricane season… and, like clockwork, the beginning of another season of climate propaganda. For the media and the climate-industrial complex, every low-pressure system is an opportunity to push a fear-driven narrative: that hurricanes are getting stronger, more frequent, and more deadly due to human-caused climate change.
LILLEY: Mark Carney offers words – Pierre Poilievre’s words – but we need action
Listening to Prime Minister Mark Carney lay out his new plan to start building Canada on Friday, one thing became clear – Pierre Poilievre won the argument even if Carney won the election.
Anyone who has listened to Poilievre over the last several years would instantly recognize many of the proposals that Carney has put forward.
Don Lemon and Kathy Griffin Go Full Election Denier
In June 2023, recently fired CNN host Don Lemon claimed, “I don’t believe in platforming liars and bigots, insurrectionists and election deniers, and putting them on the same footing as people who are telling the truth.” If Lemon really believes that, he should deplatform himself because on Tuesday’s episode of The Don Lemon Show podcast, he and actress Kathy Griffin went all in on 2024 stolen election conspiracy theories.
‘We’re people too’: Canada’s homeless population is aging, changing how shelters run
VANCOUVER — Seventy-one-year-old Roger Oake sat on a bench outside the Union Gospel Mission shelter in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside after breakfast.
He had been sleeping at the shelter for about a month “this time” and said that after several years of homelessness, walking “the beat” during the day when the shelter isn’t open has become harder as he gets older.
“I really don’t know where to even begin. There’s so many things that could or should change, but I really don’t know,” he said on Wednesday.
Mexican President Says No Backing Down from Suing U.S. Gun Industry
Just one day after the U.S. Supreme Court shot down one lawsuit from Mexico’s government against various gun manufacturers, President Claudia Sheinbaum claimed that her government was moving forward with other lawsuits aimed at the gun industry.
TDSB blocks some trips, film screenings related to Israel-Palestine as parents accuse board of double standard
The Toronto District School Board will not allow any school trips to an exhibit on the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel or screenings of an Oscar-winning documentary about the Israeli-occupied West Bank as a school has come under fire for an alleged double standard on what activities it approves by parents and community members.
The decision comes as more than 230 frustrated parents and community members issued an open letter Monday to their local trustee over the blocking of a student-organized screening of “No Other Land,” a documentary by Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers on the destruction of a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank.
