SLOBODIAN: Carney pushed off message!

Re-elect the Liberal government and it’ll introduce a middle-class tax cut that’ll save most families $825 a year, said party leader Mark Carney Sunday.

Wow! What more proof do Canadians need that Carney, elected party leader by 14-year-olds and foreigners, is the right guy to lead hardworking citizens into unimaginable prosperity if handed a four-year term as prime minister?

The EU wants to censor the global internet

Brussels and Washington are once again at odds over Europe’s sweeping social-media restrictions, contained within the 2022 Digital Services Act (DSA). In a letter sent earlier this month, the EU’s vice-president for tech sovereignty, Henna Virkkunen, rejected claims made by Donald Trump’s team that the DSA is a tool for censorship. She insisted that the law ‘does not regulate speech’ and that the EU remains ‘deeply committed to protecting and promoting free speech’.

Canada’s lost economic decade is the election focus so far—and that’s a good thing

Two days into the campaign and a single phrase has come to define the Conservative case against the Liberals’ re-election: the lost decade.

It seeks to convey Canada’s poor economic and social outcomes over the past decade of Liberal governance. The most notable expression is Canada’s declining GDP per capita, which has fallen for eight of the past 11 quarters.

‘Gruesome’ trans-ing of animals is the key to fine-tuning trans ‘care’

 

To invoke the second of Thomas Sowell’s three-question-rebuttal to destroy a leftist position: “At what cost?”

From Greg Piper’s new report at Just the News comes a welcome update: DOGE is reportedly putting a stop (at least a temporary one) to the “gruesome” trans-ing of little creatures who were unfortunate enough to find themselves under the ownership of Big Pharma while Anthony Fauci sat as the director of the NIAID, the latter having the legal authority to greenlight and fund unethical experimentation, which, spoiler alert, he did.

Justin Trudeau Has Left the Building

The man who went from ski instructor and kindergarten teacher virtually straight to being the Prime Minister of Canada has finally left the building. He resigned. But that was all for show. His party forced him out because the polls were diabolical. Go and read the Fraser Institute’s analysis of Canada’s economic performance after 10 plus years of Trudeau at the helm. When Justin took over from the Conservative Stephen Harper government in 2015 the per capita wealth and wages of Canada’s richest provinces compared well to all but nine or 10 US States. Today, wages and salaries are lower in every Canadian province compared to all 50 States, below even the poorest US States of Mississippi and Louisiana. Growth? Bad. Productivity? Woeful. Multiple quarters of GDP per capita decline. And this was assessed before Trump won last year’s November election, lest those with a bad case of TDS be tempted to blame the Orange Man. (As a further aside, a painful one, Canada’s economy is really bad. But Australia’s is worse than Canada’s on all these measures. Just sayin’ because you won’t hear it on the ABC.)

Tom Mulcair: Someone in Carney’s campaign made a bad call in pulling out of the TVA French debate

After taking part in many leaders’ debates during the 2015 federal election campaign, I may be in a unique position to comment on the Liberals’ refusal to participate in the now-cancelled TVA French debate.

When Canada’s main private French network said it wanted help in paying for its “Face à Face” leaders’ debate, there were some raised eyebrows. (Full disclosure: I work at TVA and its all-news channel, LCN).

TVA requested $75,000 from each of the four parties (the Greens have always been excluded from these debates for lack of any seats in Quebec).


Poilievre says he’ll pay broadcaster’s $75,000 fee for Carney if he’ll join French debate

Here Is Something New For You: Cats and the Green Debate

In the UK, cat ownership has steadily risen over the past century. At present, a quarter of all UK homes have one or more cats. But there is something that few cat owners are prepared to discuss: cats are, it is undeniable, an ecological disaster.

In Britain, a study carried out in the mid-1990s estimated that domestic cats, whose numbers were at around 9 million, killed 88 million birds and 164 million small mammals annually. (This same study found that among all activities investigated as reasons for the killing of wild animals, hunting and shooting were responsible for just 6.006% of deaths, whereas cats accounted for 82%.) A later study, carried out in 2022, revealed that domestic cats annually killed between 160-270 million wild animals, around a quarter of which were birds.

Anger over advert that drapes the Eiffel Tower in a hijab

A clothing brand specialising in Islamic dress has provoked a public row with an Instagram advertisement showing the Eiffel Tower swathed in a hijab, captioned: “The French government hates to see Merrachi coming.”

The tone of the advert for Merrachi has caused offence in France, which has banned the hijab in schools and public offices.

With the orange wave reduced to a ripple, the NDP is hoping for five seats in Quebec

OTTAWA — The NDP’s campaign launch, held in the eastern Montreal riding of Hochelaga-Rosemont-Est Sunday night, was as modest as its chances in the province.

The local NDP candidate, Julie Girard-Lemay, a spunky human rights lawyer and activist, was busy shaking hands with her fellow candidates and dozens of supporters huddled in her campaign office — a Mexican restaurant that recently closed — on Ontario Street.

Lucky for her, the walls of the restaurant were already painted orange.

Brookfield secured $250M loan from Bank of China under Carney’s oversight

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday drew public attention to a report that shows Mark Carney in October, while chair of Brookfield Asset Management, brokered a deal with Chinese bankers.

A month prior to Carney’s trip to China, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made him chair of the Liberals’ Task Force on Economic Growth.

Miami Incident Highlights Fact Cops Have NO Duty to Protect You

Imagine you’re in the center of a mob. A bunch of punks on bicycles are beating you half to death–let’s assume you’re disarmed for some reason–and you’re not sure you’ll survive. Then you see it: A white car with flashing blue lights. You’re saved!

Only, you’re not. The officer never exits the vehicle. She just sits inside and watches, possibly recording it on the dash cam, but doing absolutely nothing else.

LILLEY: If Carney can’t be trusted with the truth, how can he be trusted with the country?

It seems that lying for Mark Carney comes so casually, he doesn’t even realize it. On Monday, the Liberal leader tried to fib to the Canadian public about both a call with Donald Trump and about his desire to take part in a French language debate.

Neither statement would last the day before being proven to be false.

“Why not? Yes, yes,” Carney said when he was asked about taking part in the French language debate by TV station TVA.

The Conservative Party candidate is Pierre Poilievre. He is campaigning against Mark Carney, an international banker and Goldman Sachs executive who replaced the disgraced Justin Trudeau as head of Canada’s Liberal Party.
