Canadians go to the polls to elect a new prime minister next week. The center-right Conservative Party’s Pierre Poilievre is facing off against the Liberal incumbent, Mark Carney. For those who haven’t been following the situation in Canada, Carney is the Kamala Harris of the Great White North; he’s only in office because former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned.
Bill Maher, Jimmy Kimmel and Jon Stewart are among comedians warming to US president
For more than a decade, the relationship between Donald Trump and Bill Maher had been marked by bad blood, legal action, and mud-slinging.
That changed earlier this month, when Maher said in a monologue on his HBO show that he had accepted the US president’s invitation to dinner at the White House, in a visit brokered by their mutual friend: Kid Rock.
What was even more incredible is that the comedian walked away charmed by the meeting, calling Mr Trump “gracious and measured”.
Caryma Sa’d has captured the definitive image of the Canadian federal election. Over the weekend, the independent journalist posted a photograph from an event in Brantford, Ontario for Mark Carney, the former Bank of England governor who has replaced Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader and prime minister. The pic shows an older gentleman appearing to give two middle fingers to the camera while similarly-aged Carney enthusiasts around him laugh. In isolation, just another snapshot from an ill-tempered election. In the context of this poll, a readymade icon of everything Carney’s critics say he stands for and everything his Conservative opponent Pierre Poilievre is against.

No matter who wins the election, we’re promised a housing boom.
Mark Carney and the Liberals will build 500,000 modular homes per year, for a total of two million homes.
No to be outdone, Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives promise 2.3 million homes in five years.

He dodged a bullet
France is in the midst of an ideological struggle that could reshape the identity of its Republic. At the core of this struggle is the growing influence of Islamism—not as an external threat but as a domestic movement embedded in civic life—and the chilling treatment of those who speak out against it.
Marine Le Pen, president of the National Rally and one of the country’s most prominent opposition figures, has been convicted on charges relating to EU fund misuse. The sentence: four years in prison (two suspended), a €100,000 fine, and a five-year ban from holding public office. The timing is conspicuous. Just days before her sentencing, Le Pen called for an outright ban on the Muslim Brotherhood in France, citing national security concerns and intelligence reports alleging long-term “entryism” by the group.
Conservatives need to face reality — deporting tens of millions of illegals requires a carrot as well as a stick.
Over the weekend, Breitbart had a piece about President Trump’s reference to a “touchback amnesty” — or, perhaps more accurately, providing an incentive for illegal aliens to self-deport in large numbers in the hope that some of them might be able to come back legally.

At least 300 federal candidates, including 19 Liberals, have lent their names to an initiative bearing explicit links to one of Canada’s most radical anti-Israel groups.
As of press time, the website VotePalestine.ca lists more than 330 candidates who have expressed “full” endorsement of their “Palestine Platform.”
The platform calls on Canada to recognize Palestinian statehood without any caveat that Hamas be removed from power in Gaza.
A visionary, an entrepreneur, a futurist, and perhaps one of the most creative of his generation, one still needs to spend considerable time in reading the comments of Elon Musk to determine his current opinion regarding fusion energy.
Prior published interviews suggest he has been a very strong proponent of solar and wind power, energy sources that have brought Europe to its knees economically and that, understandably, are not currently in favor at the White House.
In 2023, Musk told Joe Rogan during a podcast that “You could actually power the entire United States with 100 miles of 100 miles of solar.”
Mark Carney is showing once again that he’s willing to tell bald-faced lies to get elected. On Monday, the Liberal leader even doubled down on one of his lies when confronted with the truth.
While making a health-care announcement in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Carney was confronted by a reporter after claiming that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would ban abortion in Canada.
At 94 years old, leftist billionaire George Soros has established the blueprint for how his enormous Open Society Foundations, fueled with $32 billion of his fortune, will continue fulfilling his dark vision throughout the world under the leadership of his more extreme son Alex. Part of that vision involves using the ever-evolving specter of climate change as a springboard to impel the world towards a New World Order. The utopia that the elder Soros envisions is one that has banned fossil fuels, with everyday human existence regulated into oblivion. The COVID pandemic in 2020 provided what he called a “revolutionary moment” to recognize what kind of social control could be accomplished.
OTTAWA – Pierre Poilievre is vowing to eliminate “woke ideology” from the public service, federal funding for university research and military culture.
But what does he mean by “woke,” exactly? The Conservative leader doesn’t seem keen to define the term.
When asked recently to explain what he considers “woke,” Poilievre gave a nearly two-minute answer that touched on most of his campaign talking points.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe transgender women are women, his official spokesman has said.
It comes after the UK Supreme Court ruled last week that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.
In March 2022, when he was leader of the opposition, Sir Keir told the Times that “a woman is a female adult, and in addition to that transwomen are women, and that is not just my view – that is actually the law”.
As the threat posed by US President Donald Trump tops Canada’s federal election agenda, the issue of the country’s contribution to global warming has been largely overshadowed.
The two main contenders are pushing plans for new energy infrastructure as the country seeks to pivot away from its reliance on the US.
Mark Carney’s Liberals are promising to make Canada a global superpower in both conventional and green energy. The Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre want to invigorate the oil and gas sector and scrap the industrial carbon tax.
