Terry Newman: Pierre Poilievre won the right to stay on as leader

The election dust has settled, leaving the Liberals with a minority government. This has led to calls — from both conservatives and progressives — for Pierre Poilievre to step down as Conservative party leader. But these calls are premature, overlook the success of several of Poilievre’s policies — many of which were co-opted by the Liberals in order to win — and severely underestimate the Liberals’ incumbent advantage in the face of an unforeseeable natural disaster that plagued an otherwise normal Canadian election campaign — U.S. President Donald Trump.

Why did it take so long to kick men out of women’s football?

Last week, the English Football Association (FA) finally remembered why women’s football exists – and it’s not to let men who identify as women ‘validate’ their identities.

In a short statement on its website, the FA confirmed that, in light of the recent Supreme Court decision on gender, it ‘will be changing [its] policy’ on men in women’s football. ‘Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England’, it said. The decision will come into effect from 1 June.

Epstein files update: ‘No specific timeline’ for release

Ready for an update on the Epstein file release from the “most transparent” administration ever? Yeah, well that “Phase 2”, or anything that’s actually worth a da*n isn’t coming—or as Karoline Leavitt said when questioned about progress on that front during a White House press conference: there’s “no specific” timeline, but Pam Bondi the “bulldog” and the DOJ are working “diligently” to see justice served.

The DOJ holdovers that somehow didn’t have a problem “serving” at the direction of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden?


So who was running the Honey Pot and who was caught in its trap?

Immigrants denied Carney his majority

The immigrant vote, long considered a reliable vote store for the Liberal Party, is quickly emerging as an important factor in having denied Prime Minister Mark Carney his expected majority.

Not only did immigrants break for the Tories in any number of pre-election polls, but immigrant-heavy ridings were the most likely to see their share of the Conservative vote increase as compared to 2021.

An analysis published Thursday by The Economist found that among the 31 Toronto-area ridings whose population was at least 40 per cent immigrants, almost all of them experienced a shift to the Conservatives as compared to the 2021 federal election.

A business attire-clad Sean “Diddy” Combs admitted he was feeling anxious Monday as his sex-trafficking trial kicked off in Manhattan federal court.

WHISSELL — Hey CBC, pull up your pants, you’re flashing your bias

It’s far too early to be singing the praises of Mark Carney, but that isn’t stopping the CBC from becoming his loudest cheerleader. While the public sector is being decimated, the public broadcaster continues to receive government support.

You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their uneasy laughter.

Trump ‘not sure’ what Carney wants to talk about at White House meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s “not sure” what Prime Minister Mark Carney “wants to see me about” ahead of tomorrow’s meeting.

Trump and Carney are scheduled to speak at the White House on Tuesday in their first in-person meeting since Canada’s election. The two leaders are expected to discuss the months-long trade war that has fractured their countries’ relationship and seeped their respective economies with uncertainty.

Trump Called Jasmine Crockett ‘Low IQ.’ This Was Her Response.

President Donald Trump has had words for Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a particularly leftist and relatively new member of Congress, who finds herself in the news quite a bit, and for not the best reasons. Considering she represents the most blue districts in the state and one of the most in the country, she’ll likely have that seat for as long as she wants it, but that doesn’t mean her antics bode well for the flailing Democratic Party. During his Sunday interview with Kristen Welker of NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” the president referred to Crockett as “low IQ,” which is a way he’s described her before. Sure enough, she’s responded over X.

Jamie Sarkonak: Alberta is right to challenge Ottawa’s clean-electricity overstep

If more provinces stood up for themselves when the feds started encroaching, we’d be a lot better off as a country. That in mind, it was good to see Alberta announce on Thursday that it would be challenging the federal Clean Electricity Regulations, which became law in December.

The new rules aim to net-zeroify the entire Canadian grid by 2050, banning carbon emissions by new units with at least 25 MW of electrical generation capacity over a preset “technology-neutral annual emissions limit” by 2035; the ban will also cover existing units by 2050 at the latest. It’s expected to cost the country $40 billion from now until 2050 — and it’s justified because magic math in Ottawa pegs the benefits to society in that time will be worth $55 billion.

Conservatives signal they are willing to back Carney’s Liberals on some legislation

After a fractious federal election campaign focused on perceived Liberal failures, the Conservative House leader is now signalling the caucus may be willing to support some of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s legislative agenda when the House of Commons returns later this month.

In an interview with CBC News, Andrew Scheer, who is considered by party sources to be the front-runner to serve as their interim parliamentary leader, said the Conservatives could back Carney if he needs legislative support to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and the ongoing trade war, which has already caused some economic dislocation, including automotive job losses at the General Motors plant in Oshawa, Ont.

You may not like what Shiloh Hendrix did — and that’s the point

As of this publication, Shiloh Hendrix has raised over $542,000 after a Somali immigrant (and alleged pedophile kidnapper, hanging out at a park in the middle of the day on a Wednesday for some reason) accused her of calling an unattended 5-year-old the hard R.

She doesn’t deny the accusation, saying “he acted like one” — apparently stealing from her diaper bag.


The support is remarkable. But after years of anti-white racism pushed by the academy, media and government I am not surprised.
