A bombshell new book by Chris Whipple, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” has exposed Nancy Pelosi’s duplicitous role in President Biden’s dramatic exit from the 2024 presidential race.

Latest Nanos projections put Liberals in minority territory, but many ridings too close to call
The latest seat projections from Nanos Research have put Mark Carney’s Liberals in minority government territory – down 17 ridings from the previous week.
According to the organization, the Liberals would have taken at least 156 seats if the election were held April 6, when the projections were prepared. That’s down from 173 seats in the last projections from March 30.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, meanwhile, would have won at least 114 ridings, up eight from the previous projections.
People are waking up to the Carney fraud.

Hundreds of workers laid off at Ingersoll, Ont. assembly plant as GM halts production
The General Motors CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ont., will shut down next month with plans to re-open in the fall at half capacity.
The company said in a statement Friday that production is coming to halt as a direct result of the market, and available inventory to build the BrightDrop electric delivery vehicles manufactured at the plant.
“CAMI is making operational and employment adjustments to balance inventory and align production schedules with current demand,” GM said in a statement.
A mix of electric vehicle viability and tariffs are responsible I suspect.

Mother arrested for theft after ‘confiscating iPad from daughters’
A mother of two has described her “unspeakable devastation and trauma” after being arrested for “confiscating her children’s iPad”.
Vanessa Brown, 50, spent seven-and-a-half hours in a cell on March 26 after it was claimed she had stolen two iPads.
Easier than arresting real criminals.
Canada’s ‘Islamophobia’ guide falsely equates legitimate criticism with bigotry toward backwards death cult
The greatest victims of extremist interpretations of Islam are Muslims themselves. This uncomfortable truth undermines Canada’s approach to combating anti-Muslim bigotry, as outlined in “The Canadian Guide to Understanding and Combatting Islamophobia.”
The guide defines Islamophobia broadly as, “Racism, stereotypes, prejudice, fear or acts of hostility directed towards individual Muslims or followers of Islam in general.” This definition creates an intellectual sleight of hand, conflating prejudice against Muslims with criticism of certain doctrines or political movements operating under the banner of faith.
Pro-Palestinian protesters pelted with eggs while blocking traffic
Pro-Palestinian protesters were pelted with eggs as they blocked traffic in central London.
Youth Demand activists with orange flares and banners reading “Free Palestine” and “Stop Arming Israel” took to the streets in the Moorgate district, Farringdon Road and Fenchurch Street.
Passers-by threw a “shower of eggs” at the crowd of activists in Farringdon Road and a truck attempted to drive through them, according to Youth Demand, which organised the protest.
Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted
Outside a convention centre where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre held a rally in Brampton, Ont., Wednesday evening, two of his supporters unfurled a long white banner that read: “Do you believe the polls?”
“If he’s not going to win, we’re going to lose Canada,” said one of the supporters named Sarah, who didn’t want to give her last name, and wore a sweater with the same message.
“Look at the crowd coming out for Poilievre! We cannot believe the polls are right.”
Diet of worms will help us survive climate change, say top chefs
Crunchy worms au paprika, carrot kimchi and artichoke caviar could feature on the fine dining menus of the future, according to Alain Ducasse and other leading French chefs.
Ducasse and more than 100 fellow exponents of haute cuisine tested this dish and other delicacies at a chefs’ lunch in Meudon, near Paris, this week with the theme “What will we be cooking in 2050?”
The chefs squirmed at first when presented with an hors d’oeuvre of grilled mealworms — the larval form of a species of yellow beetle — spiced with paprika.
Foreign interference tactics in Canada always changing, says target
The Chinese Communist Party is always changing the way it interferes in elections in Canada and other countries, says former Steveston-Richmond MP Kenny Chiu.
The Conservative party politician was the target of a smear campaign during the 2021 election, which took place when many Chinese-language media outlets in Canada labelled him “anti-Chinese” and a “race traitor.”
As the former Globe and Mail bureau chief in Beijing, I can tell you that Robert Fife is correct in China’s approach to its diaspora in Canada. This has been going on for more than a decade — and it’s important to recognize because in tight elections, even a few hundred votes… https://t.co/r4MCr5ITOd

‘You can’t have your cake and eat it, Harry’
A Telegraph poll reveals most voters are not in favour of taxpayer-funded security for the Duke of Sussex.
The Duke returned to London on Sunday to attend a two-day hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice to win automatic state security for him and his family.
The Duke has argued that he was “singled out for different, unjustified and inferior treatment” when he was denied the right to automatic police protection after quitting public duties.

Surge in young gun owners hitting voting age alarms the usual suspects
Surge in young gun owners hitting voting age amid calls in firearm circles to loosen bans
Canadian-born Hashim Akbar first shot his grandfather’s gun as a child while visiting Pakistan.
“It was obviously scary. I was a small child, but it was also very exciting as well. There’s … a lot of adrenalin that goes through someone’s body,” said Akbar, 23, vice-president of the Simon Fraser Sports Shooting Club (SFSSC) in Burnaby, B.C.
As a teen, the university student tried and loved skeet shooting and now owns his own lever-action rifle. He applied for a gun licence last October, making him one of 7,446 Canadians under 30 to do so in 2024. But by the time he received the document, the guns he wanted were prohibited by the federal government.

I work at a migrant hotel. Many of them will never work a day in their lives
I am the clinical lead in an asylum hotel in the north of England. We’re right in the centre of town. Though we try to keep a low profile, that’s not always easy with 24-hour security guards in hi-vis patrolling the entrance. The building is modern, but it was never intended to house hundreds of people long-term. It’s starting to degrade quickly. My role is to provide a GP service within the hotel.
Canadian travel to the U.S. has plummeted. One reason why: fear
When political science professor Arash Abizadeh heard last month about foreign travellers being detained at the U.S. border, he cancelled plans to speak at an upcoming academic conference in Durham, N.C.
He believes heightened scrutiny at the U.S. border makes travel to the country too uncertain.
“Why would we subject ourselves to this?” asked Abizadeh, who teaches at McGill University in Montreal.
Leave it to the CBC to gin up the fear by featuring a Muslim as victim.
