Trump’s purge of the professionals
The attack is terrible — and deserved
If you see someone glued to the Slack app on their phone, or lugging around a MacBook at a coffee shop, please salute them. They aren’t just doing their email jobs — they’re troops in the Great Class War of 2025.
I’m referring to the Trump administration’s shock-and-awe campaign against the hard-to-define strata of college-educated Americans who perform “knowledge work”. They are often dubbed the professional managerial class, or PMC for short. This month, scribes at The Atlantic and New York published essays lamenting the Trumpian war on the professionals. PMCs are “being targeted for political, cultural, and perhaps economic extinction” by the White House, wrote Ed Kilgore. He’s got a point. Now that we’re entering the fourth month of Trump II, it’s clear that when the President repeatedly uttered, “I am your retribution” with comic-book-villain bravado on the campaign trail, he wasn’t bluffing.
Bernie Sanders: The Socialist Who Scammed America
Talks like he’s broke, lives like he’s Bezos.
It’s been a busy few weeks for Bernie Sanders, traveling around America on his Fighting Oligarchy tour. The message is clear: billionaires are bad, the economy is rigged, and the people must be empowered. Crowds roar, fists raised in solidarity. The same speeches. The same outrage. The same thunderous applause. The same garbage.
While Sanders decries wealth inequality and corporate greed, he zigzags across the country in the ultimate symbol of elite privilege: a private jet. Not once. Not in an emergency. Just this past quarter, his campaign spent more than $220,000 on private air travel, an expense completely at odds with the populist, working-class image he’s spent decades cultivating.
Mark Carney wants to phase out oil and gas—just how much would that cost Canada?
Natural resources are an important economic theme in Canadian economic history, and their development is a key source of the nation’s wealth. Whether wheat and barley, timber and pulp, mineral products, or oil and gas, the export of these resources—the export of resource staples— has been instrumental in generating employment and value-added industries as well as helping drive the development of national transportation infrastructure.
Indeed, Canada is generally acknowledged to have what trade economists refer to as a comparative advantage in natural resource products.
Why Hamas Must Not Be Allowed to Keep Its Weapons
As the war in the Gaza Strip is about to enter its 20th month, the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group has once again repeated its refusal to disarm. It says the weapons are needed to continue its fight against Israel. Those who believe that Hamas would ever agree to lay down its weapons are living in a dream world. There is, unfortunately, only one way to convince Hamas to disarm: military force.
Recently, two senior Hamas officials, Mahmoud Mardawi and Bassam Naim, announced their group’s absolute rejection of any proposal related to laying down its weapons. They said that other Palestinian terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip also reject any plan to disarm.
Bjorn Lomborg: Net zero’s cost-benefit ratio is crazy high
In 2021, Canada committed itself legally to achieving “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050. At various times, prime minister Justin Trudeau promised climate action would “create jobs and economic growth,” as well as a “strong economy.” The truth is that net-zero policies generate vast costs for very little benefit — and Canada would be better off changing direction.
Navy Scraps Biden-Era ‘Climate Action’ Plan, Returns Focus To Warfighting
The U.S. Navy officially scrapped a Biden-era “climate action” plan for the force on Tuesday, signifying the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to refocus the military towards warfighting.
“Today, I’m focusing on the warfighters first, and I’m rescinding the Biden administration’s climate action program. Our focus needs to be on lethality and our warfighters,” Navy Secretary John Phelan announced in a video message.
GOLDSTEIN: Why Jews should vote for the Conservatives
In my neighbourhood where many Jewish Canadians live, there is still a Toronto police mobile field command unit operating in the parking lot of a prominent Jewish day school, set up in the wake of Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Guns, Drugs, and Cash Found in Detroit Senior Living Facility
Michigan has embraced a lot of gun control laws since Gov. Gretchen Whitmer took office. While she hid her face in the Oval Office, her gun record should have her hiding her face everywhere else, too.
As per usual, all of the measures passed were sold as ways to prevent criminal activity of some description. This is the selling point for every bit of gun control.
Why many Canadian Jews are gravitating toward the Conservative Party
No community is a monolith; each is as diverse as its members. With that caveat, here are some thoughts about why so many Canadian Jews are enamoured with the Conservative Party.
Pierre Poilievre is the one leader, as many Canadian Jews see it, who has spoken out unequivocally against antisemitism. He’s the one leader, they feel, who has their backs.
It’s very clear who Jews are supporting in this election; and it’s not the Liberals. pic.twitter.com/Ve4Kvq0BOs

Sloppy Job: Migrant Under Police Surveillance Hit and Bit French Rabbi
A teenager sentenced after attacking a rabbi in broad daylight last month in Orléans—while the rabbi was walking home from synagogue with his nine-year-old son—was already under investigation for three other serious offences, despite being in France for less than a year.
Pierre Poilievre’s rallies feel distinctly Trumpian – they might just help him win
The queue to get into the cavernous union hall stretched around the block and the merchandise stand was doing a roaring trade as Canadian rock blared from the sound system.
If the comparison with a Donald Trump rally was not obvious enough as thousands of supporters filed into a Toronto suburb on Tuesday evening, it came when Pierre Poilievre took the stage.
He promised a “Canada First reinvestment tax cut,” a capital gains break dressed up with a nationalist title.
Joy Behar Fears Pope Francis Will Be Replaced by ‘Some Conservative Guy‘
Joy Behar said she fears that Pope Francis will be replaced by “some conservative guy” on Tuesday’s episode of ABC’s The View, during which the show’s co-hosts used the pope’s death as an opportunity to complain about U.S. politics.
Canada’s doomsday scenario is already here, no need to wait until 2040
As Canadian doomsday scenarios go, it’s a bit of a letdown. But you’d never know it by the headlines.
First prize goes to the American news site Politico: Apocalypse Now. Runners-up: The Toronto Sun’s “Government report predicts 2040 dystopia: Collapsed economy, hunting for food,” Alberta’s Todayville went with Breaking: The Federal Brief That Should Sink Carney, and the Better Dwelling webzine chose Canada To Become A Dystopian Nightmare, Households Will Flee: Gov Report.
New Evidence Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia Drops… And It’s Bad
Well, the evidence against Kilmar Abrego Garcia just keeps piling up. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the now-deported MS-13 thug was driving a car registered to a convicted human smuggler during a traffic stop in Tennessee back in 2022—and he wasn’t alone. He had a group of men with him, raising even more questions about what exactly he was up to. This is the kind of criminal the Left is fighting to protect while pretending Trump is the threat.
