Three federal ridings await final recount results after razor-thin election margins

Judicial recounts are still underway in three federal ridings where April 28 election results were determined by narrow vote margins, with one finalized recount in Terrebonne, Quebec, resulting in a one-vote Liberal win — the slimmest federal race outcome in over 60 years.

Superior Court Justice Garrett Handrigan is overseeing a recount in Terra Nova–The Peninsulas, Newfoundland and Labrador, where the Liberals were ahead by only 12 votes on election night — the closest margin nationally.

Sweden: Time to “Wake Up” to Dangers of New Gender Legislation

A new law set to come into effect on July 1st will make it easier for Swedes to legally change their gender, with reports claiming that a single digital healthcare ‘visit’ will suffice.

Christian Democrats politician Christian Carlsson said it was “incomprehensible” that only his party and the Sweden Democrats tried to stop the legislation from moving forward last year, “and that this spring we were the only ones who tried to have the new law repealed before it takes effect.”

Michael Higgins: Carney’s cabinet of Trudeau failures

Prime Minister Mark Carney promised change, a new way of doing things at speeds never before seen. Yet to help him do this, he is relying on the same old, tired, incompetent ministers who got us into the mess we’re currently in.

The Liberals will trumpet the large number of new faces in Carney’s 28-member cabinet — there are 15 MPs who have never served before.

Pro-Beijing Diaspora Group That Lobbied to Oust O’Toole Now Calls for Poilievre’s Resignation Amid PRC Interference Probes

MARKHAM — A controversial diaspora pressure group with ties to Chinese consular circles in Toronto is demanding that Pierre Poilievre step down, following an election marked by Beijing’s attacks on Conservative candidates, and renewing the same type of challenge it posed to former leader Erin O’Toole, which first drew national security attention after the 2021 federal contest.

Trump’s Drug-Price EO Should Have Happened Decades Ago

What’s ‘free market’ about Americans paying the tab for the rest of the world’s prescription drugs?

Monday saw a seismic economic shift courtesy of an executive order by President Trump cramming down the prices Americans pay for prescription drugs.

The Guardian – Fear and surveillance in the US-Mexico borderlands: ‘There’s a lot more open hate’

The president’s migrant crackdown has fueled an increasingly angry atmosphere – and some border agents are praising ‘Daddy Trump’

Osvaldo Ruiz and a friend were hiking through an isolated stretch of mountains, just a few miles from the sprawling US-Mexico border wall that fringes San Diego, when the federal agent stopped them in their tracks.

It was late March, mid-morning, and Ruiz, who works for a local non-profit called Border Angels, was busy. That day he was scouting a new route where his group could leave life-saving water and food for the sporadic waves of migrants who still cross through these desolate borderlands. Ruiz and his friend, a fellow Border Angels member, already knew they were being watched. A helicopter had been buzzing overhead for the past several hours, tracking them.

Shortly after the duo sat down for a mid-hike coffee break, the border patrol agent appeared on the trail. Four or five other officers lagged behind him in the distance.

Canada’s electric vehicle strategy has failed, and there are lessons to learn

We must face an uncomfortable truth: Canada’s automotive and EV manufacturing strategy, touted as a generational opportunity to drive economic growth, jobs and environmental leadership, has failed quickly and dramatically.

The federal and Quebec governments made a bad $4.6-billion dollar bet on Northvolt, a Swedish EV battery manufacturer, which has entered bankruptcy less than two years since a $7-billion investment announcement. The $270-million invested by Quebec in Northvolt’s parent company in Sweden is now “lost,” confirmed the provincial government in March.

The Decivilizing of America

From secure borders to functioning cities, America is shedding the hard-won pillars of civilization—by choice, not chance—in a sweeping, top-down descent into disorder.

Secure borders and stationary populations were considered the mark of emerging civilization by classical historians. In contrast to nomadism and constant strife over disputed territory, peoples who had clearly defined and protected borders ascended to statehood, maintained a distinct culture, and achieved greater prosperity and security.

Welcome to Carnada

According to British author David Goodhart, who coined the terms “Somewheres” and “Anywheres,” the Somewheres are people who are more locally rooted and conservative as opposed to the Anywheres, wealthy, educated members of the establishment who can afford to live anywhere they wish, criss-cross the globe on private jets, and scoop up property wherever they happen to touch down. Of course, Goodhart’s binary distinction would need to be supplemented by a third factor in the interests of demographic accuracy, which we might call the “Unawares,” those who remain in thrall to the Anywheres, have not done their homework, and are reluctant to bestir themselves to bring in beneficial change.

When did meat become Right-wing?

Eating flesh is a display of raw power

In America, there are two famous vampires named Brian Johnson. Well, sort of. The first, who admittedly spells it “Bryan”, is the preternaturally ageless tech entrepreneur who charts his erections and uses infusions of his teenage son’s blood plasma in pursuit of eternal youth — and has ended up looking somewhere freakishly in between 38 and 80. The other resembles a man-beast with Neolithic coiffure, always baring a mahogany, bulging breast, often chomping on the still-beating heart of some poor animal or other. This Brian is better known by another name: Liver King.

Call it a Bonnie and Clyde pairing.

In his first major moves as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has appointed two key ministers who will shape Canada’s energy and environmental policy — decisions that could carry profound consequences for Western Canada, particularly Alberta and Saskatchewan.
