A stunning reversal of fortunes in Canada’s historic election

At a rally in London, Ontario, on Friday, the crowd booed as Mark Carney delivered his core campaign line about the existential threat Canada faces from its neighbour.

“President Trump is trying to break us so that America could own us,” the Liberal leader warned.

“Never,” supporters shouted back. Many waved Canadian flags taped to ice hockey sticks.

Similar levels of passion were also on display at the union hall where Pierre Poilievre greeted enthusiastic supporters in the Toronto area earlier in the week.

Dog found using owner’s t-shirt after 529 days in Australian wilderness

A miniature dachshund has been found alive and well after spending more than 500 days in the Australian wilderness.

Kangala Wildlife Rescue said it had been working “around the clock” to find the dog, Valerie, on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of Australia. She was last seen by her owners on a camping trip in November 2023.

Georgia Gardner and her boyfriend, Joshua Fishlock, had momentarily left Valerie in a playpen at their campsite while the couple went fishing. When they returned, she was gone.

This is an existential election for Jewish Canadians

After nearly a decade of Liberal government, we are watching history repeat itself. Synagogues are being burned, schools shot at, businesses attacked, and hatred paraded openly through our streets. These are not isolated incidents — they are warnings. And ignoring them now would be a deadly mistake.

This election is not just political. For Jewish Canadians, it is existential. Our future in this country hinges on choosing leadership willing to act decisively against rising hate.


A passionate argument but not a universally accepted viewpoint.

ANALYSIS: Are Canadian Jews really moving to the Conservatives?

There isn’t much evidence for the supposed rightward shift among Jewish voters — or for its impact


And …

I’m a Jewish Canadian, and I won’t be voting for Pierre Poilievre

Commentators in the mainstream media have suggested that most Jews voting for the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre are doing so largely on the basis of the party’s policies on antisemitism and Israel. The CBC’s flagship news program, The National, carried perhaps the definitive take on this theme earlier this week.


I believe it is too late in the game. The Canadian state and its political class have chosen a side and it isn’t Israel’s.

Our elites are guilty of importing a violent incompatible culture –  Islam. They know it.

And now they cultivate the Muslim vote to save their skins.

PS. Jews voting Liberal remind me of the commies who refused to believe Stalin was a mass murdering lunatic despite Khrushchev’s denunciation.

Dyspro-what? Why an Obscure Element Has the EV Industry in a Panic

Caught in the middle of the U.S.-China trade war is a Chiclet-size magnet that is vital to every new electric vehicle on the road.

The magnet is made with dysprosium. Atomic number 66. A rare-earth mineral with a silver metallic luster. More than 90% of refined dysprosium comes from China, and it is used in magnets that power everything from medical equipment to EV motors.

Carney condemns Israeli blockade on food to Gaza

Liberal Leader Mark Carney urged Israel to allow the World Food Programme to work in Gaza, saying food must not be used as a “political tool,” hours after the UN agency ran out of stocks due to a sustained Israeli blockade on supplies.

The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it had delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens providing hot meals in Gaza and that the facilities were expected to run out of food in the coming days.


This says Muslims will control our streets in the Carney era.

Trump rebukes Putin after ‘historic’ Zelensky meeting

President Trump has held an extra­ordinary one-to-one meeting with President Zelensky on the fringes of the Pope’s funeral before accusing President Putin of stringing him along over ending the war in Ukraine.

A Ukraine-Russia peace deal appeared to be inching closer after the intense exchanges in St Peter’s Basilica. Zelensky said that their 15-minute conversation had the “potential to become historic”, while the White House described it as “a very productive discussion”.

Having babies makes you Hitler says Star

To keep Canada off Trump’s authoritarian path, we must reject pronatalism and protect women’s rights

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s recent talking point commiserating with couples in their late 30s whose fertility window is closing and who can’t afford to start families touched a nerve. While it’s true that some couples are starting families later or having fewer children, and Canada’s fertility rate is declining, Poilievre’s rhetoric about women’s biological clocks running out is offensive. Liberals and the NDP rightly condemned it.

While he meant to sound sympathetic, Poilievre calling women’s wombs into service as a means towards political ends should be seen for what it is: Canada’s own brand of pronatalism — societal and institutional pressures on women (mostly from men) to have children. It mirrors U.S President Donald Trump, the self-professed “fertilization president” who uses pronatalism as a cover for rolling back reproductive rights and gender equality.

Where does the Star find these extremist loons?

UK: Home Office pleads to landlords for help housing migrants

The Home Office is appealing for landlords to house asylum seekers after a record number of small-boat arrivals this month, according to reports.

Landlords have been offered five-year guaranteed full rent deals to house migrants by Serco, a private contractor working for the government office.

The number of migrants who arrived in Britain after crossing the English Channel reached a record for the first four months of the year. Eleven small boats carrying a total of 656 people arrived on April 12, taking the total number of people crossing in 2025 to 8,064, according to provisional Home Office figures.

I’m surprised they bothered to ask.

Virginia Giuffre’s suicide draws line under Prince Andrew’s hopes of redemption

The death of Virginia Giuffre brings to a tragic close the most unedifying and damaging royal scandal in living memory.

Ms Giuffre, who has died by suicide at her farm in Australia, will be remembered as the determined survivor of sex trafficking and abuse who helped to catalyse the downfall of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and, in the court of public opinion, the Duke of York.

Perhaps it’s time Alberta does go it alone and says goodbye to Canada says Star

Alberta is giving me a headache.

The province stands alone in its incurable sense of grievance with the rest of the federation.

Not even a $34.2-billion expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline (TMX) built by Ottawa to get Alberta oil to non-U.S. markets for the first time has reduced Alberta’s bellyaching.

GOLDSTEIN: Electing Carney will mean cutting our economic throat

Of all the reasons not to elect Mark Carney as the next prime minister of Canada on Monday, his history as the world’s leading corporate booster of achieving “net zero emissions” by 2050 is the biggest.

Putting Carney, the UN’s Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, and co-chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero — “relentlessly, ruthlessly, absolutely focused on the transition to net zero” in Carney’s words — will mean cutting our own economic throat.

9 people killed after SUV rams into Vancouver street festival

Several people have been killed and multiple others injured after the driver of a black SUV slammed into a crowd at a street festival Saturday evening, say Vancouver police.

It happened shortly after 8 p.m. near East 41st Avenue and Fraser Street, where the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party was winding down, after drawing up to 100,000 people through the day.

Police say a man in his 30s is now in custody.

Not an act of terrorism

Lapu Lapu Day is a Pilipino celebration.

GIESBRECHT: Something’s got to give

If the polls are correct, Mark Carney and the Liberals will win yet another mandate. Many Westerners are mystified as to why Eastern Canada would want to rehire the same Liberals who have spent the last decade making us poorer and defenceless, but that’s exactly what they appear to be about to do.
