Once again, a federal election call was made well before western votes had a chance to be considered, leaving some voters feeling disenfranchised, as if their votes don’t matter.
On Monday night, at about 7:15 p.m. PT, media outlets, including CBC News, projected the Liberals would form the next government.
That was 15 minutes after polls had closed in B.C., and not long after they closed in Alberta. The election call was made knowing only the early results of the more Eastern provinces.
Spain’s Socialist prime minister was accused of putting green ideology ahead of energy security after a massive blackout plunged the country into chaos on Monday.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the opposition People’s Party, said Pedro Sánchez was covering up information about the cause of the power cut and that the prime minister was prioritising green ideology in his energy policy.
The prime minister is “saddling our energy system with a massive ideological burden”, Mr Feijóo said on Tuesday.
Pierre Poilievre spent 20 years being a certain type of politician: the prosecutor, the pest, the attack dog. He’d bare his teeth when he sat in the government front benches, even when most cabinet members would tuck their tails and flip on their backs to defuse opposition attacks. That wasn’t Mr. Poilievre’s way.
That’s why he was so perfect for the political moment in late 2023 and 2024, when Canadians’ economic anxieties and frustrations about this country’s many deficiencies bubbled over. Mr. Poilievre became a vessel for that anger: someone who could give literal voice in Parliament to all the ways they believed the government had failed them. Canadians needed a pit bull, and Mr. Poilievre provided.
Singer Katy Perry has admitted feeling “battered and bruised” by the backlash following her recent space trip, but reassured fans she is OK and would “keep looking to the light”.
Writing two weeks after the much-derided Blue Origin voyage, which saw her take an 11-minute flight with five other women, the US star said the “online world” had tried to make her a “human Piñata”.

You think American leftists have Trump Derangement Syndrome? They’ve got nothing on Canadians, who just chose to remain on the path of national decline and self-destruction that they’ve been on for the last ten years, just to spite Donald Trump. In order to demonstrate their nationalism, Canada just chose a socialist internationalist as prime minister. Yes, it’s that crazy, and worse.
Update: Swedish police arrest teenager after fatal triple shooting
Three people were killed in a shooting in the Swedish city of Uppsala on Tuesday, police said.
A large area was cordoned off in the centre of Uppsala, a university city 45 miles north of Stockholm, after witnesses described hearing multiple shots at about 5pm local time and seeing people running in different directions and hiding.
A masked person was seen fleeing the crime scene on an electric scooter and a police hunt was under way, said police, who appealed to the public for information.
If the elbows up seems familiar. You are correct.
Mark Carney is such a plagiarist that he even stole elbows up — from George Orwell's 1984 novel.
Unbelievable.
WATCH and see. https://t.co/7WKzCeT9fQ pic.twitter.com/TtCQXg3nw7

Flags of all stripes may be allowed to fly at Waterloo Catholic District School Board schools after a controversial motion was voted down Monday night.

Europe would struggle to collectively muster 25,000 troops to be part of a “deterrence” force in Ukraine because its armies are undermanned and underfunded, sources have disclosed.
The Times was given a rare insight into conversations between Europe’s defence ministers and military chiefs as they thrashed out plans for a “coalition of the willing” force.

The riding-rich, voter-dense Greater Toronto Area looked like a kingmaker for the Liberal Party once again in Monday’s federal vote, delivering a push for Mark Carney while dashing Conservative hopes of an urban breakthrough.
Liberal dominance in the GTA helped Liberals win the three previous general elections under Justin Trudeau, and new Liberal leader Carney looked to the region to buttress his party in a fourth consecutive term.
Serving member of elite corps who raised concerns about lowering of standards for female trainees claims he was treated ‘like a terrorist’
The Royal Marines have become embroiled in a row over the role of women on the front line.
In a highly unusual move, a serving member of the elite corps has publicly raised concerns about the possible lowering of standards for female trainees – and claimed that lives could be at risk if Britain goes to war.
The commando has claimed that up to 1,000 of his fellow Marines backed a private letter to military chiefs raising fears that so-called diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) policies were in danger of creating an “unrecognisable, weak and compromised version of the corps”.
OTTAWA — Only this campaign could have produced Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The former banker with the sober demeanor of a natural technocrat convinced millions of Canadians he was the guy to lead the nation amid an unprecedented onslaught of threats and ridicule from the brash President Donald Trump.
The Liberals won. Mark Carney returns as prime minister. He’ll get to name another cabinet, meet Parliament for the first time, govern if he can. But the result forecloses cheap gloating in ways I find satisfying. Canada is a country that wishes things were easy. Maybe they aren’t meant to be easy.
Woe is Canada.
With the election of liberal globalist Mark Carney, Canadians have effectively finished themselves off.
Apparently, the past decade of economic disaster and despair—courtesy of the self-same Liberal Party– was not enough for our friends in the Great White North.
