LILLEY: No new tariffs from Trump a hit to Carney’s campaign

It’s not quite a presidential pardon, but we could call it a reprieve. Canada didn’t get any additional tariffs as U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated what he called “Liberation Day.”

Trump has been talking about new tariffs on Canada for months; he even went on a rant during his Rose Garden ceremony about how he sees Canada’s dairy industry as ripping off American farmers.

Putin supporters turn on Kremlin over Muslim migration

Vladimir Putin’s supporters have turned on the Kremlin over Muslim migration into Russia from Central Asia, comparing the situation with that of European cities with large minority populations.

Rybar is a prominent Telegram blog with more than 1.3 million subscribers and whose founder Mikhail Zvinchuk, a former military translator, was awarded the Order of Merit of the Fatherland Second Class by Putin in 2023.

Yet last month, it posted a scathing analysis of Russia’s rapidly changing demographics, using the Moscow suburb of Kotelniki to illustrate its point.

Joel Kotkin: If Carney brings Canada closer to Europe, financial ruin would follow

U.S. President Donald Trump’s mindless, and frankly pointless, comments about Canada becoming the 51st state have stirred up latent Canadian patriotism . But it also may result in Canada, which is already economically moribund, further aligning itself with the permanent European Union bureaucracy.

A tilt towards Europe would be natural for Liberal Leader Mark Carney , the former pre-Brexit head of the Bank of England. He’s an advocate of the very environmental, social and economic policies that have led the EU — and, to some extent, Canada — into economic and social decline.

Trump’s tariffs are a longtime goal fulfilled – and his biggest gamble yet

Donald Trump’s politics have shifted considerably over his decades in the public sphere. But one thing he has been consistent on, since the 1980s, is his belief that tariffs are an effective means of boosting the US economy.

Now, he’s staking his presidency on his being right.

At his Rose Garden event at the White House, surrounded by friends, conservative politicians and cabinet secretaries, Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on a broad range of countries – allies, competitors and adversaries alike.

Nigel Biggar: Residential schools were no ‘atrocity.’ Just look at the evidence

When in February, Dallas Brodie, a British Columbia MLA, declared on X that the number of burials of missing children confirmed at the Kamloops Indian Residential School was “zero,” her fellow Conservative, Áʼa:líya Warbus, condemned her for “questioning the narratives of people who lived and survived … atrocities.” And the president of the Métis Nation of B.C., Walter Mineault, responded that the residential school experiences were “not objective truths for Métis people,” but their “lived experiences.”

Transgender Covenant School Killer Planned Attack for Years, Final Police Report Says

The transgender shooter in a mass killing in 2023 at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, was a school alumnus motivated by a quest for notoriety, a final police report concludes. Three children and three adults died in the attack before police shot the killer.

Nashville Police said that Audrey Hale, 28, left behind notebooks, art books, and documents about her plot to attack the Covenant School. Hale, a female, was in part inspired by the 1999 Columbine mass shooting, the report said.

‘Dumbfounded and disgusted’: Canada’s car capital grapples with Trump tariffs

A long-awaited tariff announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday spurred confusion and concern in Canada’s automotive capital.

The president, in a lengthy Rose Garden address at the White House, provided some relief to Canada by leaving it out of a list of nations facing new reciprocal tariffs from the U.S.

But the Trump administration is maintaining previously announced tariffs affecting Canada, including up to 25 per cent levies on assembled vehicles and some automotive parts.

Youngsters are rejecting the Left’s culture wars

She can eat her hat later.

Generation Z, that enigmatic demographic of men and women born between 1997 and 2012 or so, have been presumed to hold wildly progressive views. In the stereotype of public imagination this is – or has been – a group that will go to the wall for net zero, dump a partner if their views on gender politics give them the “ick”, or leave any job that has the temerity to demand their presence in the office.

Except it may not be true. A growing mass of evidence suggests that far from the Leftie snowflake cohort of lore, Gen Z are disparate in their politics and care about the same things older generations do – jobs, houses, security – more than culture wars or social issues.

Jesse Kline: Mark Carney’s five-year plan for Soviet-style housing

If we look past all the name-calling, scandals and competing tax cuts, this election fundamentally comes down to one question: do Canadians trust the Liberals to do now what they have failed to do over the past decade? Judging by the party’s newly released housing plan, the answer should be a resounding “no.”

Toronto Police Association Asks Carney, Poilievre to Provide Stance on Bail Reform, Gun Buyback

The Toronto Police Association has sent letters to the federal Liberal and Conservative leaders to find out their positions on “major” public safety issues such as bail reform and the federal gun buyback program.

Much of the electoral campaign has so far revolved around responding to U.S. tariffs and building the Canadian economy, while the police association said community safety remains a priority and “can never be an afterthought.”

PINDER: Carney, a climate-warrior first and always

By any measure, Mark Carney’s resume is impressive. Mostly from Wikipedia, he was born in 1965, the son of a high school principal. The family moved from the Northwest Territories to Edmonton where his father was a Liberal candidate in the 1980 Canadian federal election. His mother returned to university to pursue a career in education when Carney was 10. He has an older brother and sister and a younger brother.

Catholics Thwarting A ‘Black Mass’ Shows You Don’t Just Have To Tolerate Everything

Last week in Topeka, Kansas, the followers of Jesus Christ clashed with the slaves of Satan, and Christ won. A relatively obscure group called the Satanic Grotto tried to stage a “Black Mass” outside the Kansas State Capitol and was met by thousands of Catholic protesters who had no intention of standing by and allowing the devilry to proceed in peace.
