The left is already in a hissy fit over President Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, and I’m sure they won’t be happy that there’s another despised government agency that appears to be targeted for downsizing as well.

Jagmeet Singh vows NDP is not going away as campaign begins amid slump in support
MONTREAL — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh opened the 2025 election campaign heading east to Montreal, diving into a region where his party has struggled in recent years, but once found historic success in the “Orange Wave” of another era.
It was part of a defiant tone struck by Singh in his opening act of the campaign, as he refused to submit to the judgments of national polls and a political class that suggested his party was in big trouble.
Soiled himself Singh made his own brand toxic.
Multiple bombs found inside Tesla showroom in Texas as threats against Elon Musk continue
Multiple incendiary devices were found inside a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, on Monday morning as nationwide threats against CEO Elon Musk continue.
Austin Police Department officers were called to the electric vehicle showroom just after 8am after an anonymous caller reported that there were bombs placed inside the building.
Authorities rushed to the scene and located multiple ‘suspicious devices’ at the Tesla dealership. The Austin Police Department Bomb Squad were also called to help.
This astute political analyst theorizes that Elon Musk is setting fire to his own cars for the insurance money.

The good news is that the Liberal-left are vandalizing vehicles belonging to the like minded.

Poilievre and Carney agree on one thing: This federal election is about change
They say that in politics, timing is everything. On Sunday, as the long-awaited federal election campaign finally kicked off, there was a funhouse-mirror quality to the way everyone played with the notion of time.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney made the ritualistic visit to Rideau Hall to ask the Governor-General to kill off this Parliament and send Canadians to the polls, and then he stepped to a lectern just outside the front doors to speak to the media.
Rob Lowe Calls Out the Destruction of Hollywood Film Industry in Democrat-Run LA: ‘It‘s Criminal‘
Appearing on his Literally! podcast with guest Adam Scott, Rob Lowe blasted California and Los Angeles saying it’s “criminal” what the state and city have done to the entertainment industry with their overweening rules and extreme costs and taxes.
Michael Higgins: Liberals broke Canada long before Trump’s trade war
This election isn’t about Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre, or even Donald Trump. It’s about trust. Can the Liberals be trusted to do the things necessary to put Canada first?
Or put another way: Who is gullible enough to vote for the Liberals (for a fourth time!) believing they will change their over-spending and under-investing ways?
Strategically Carney getting elected a positive for Trump. Here is why.
1. Carney aggressively goes after Canadian oil and gas sector. No pipelines built because of production cap and U.S. continues to get oil and gas at a substantial discount to world markets.
2. Carney’s…

Trump accuses British artist of painting ‘truly worst’ portrait of him
Donald Trump has called for a portrait of himself to be taken down from the Colorado state capitol, lashing out at the artist for “truly the worst” attempt to capture his features.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves,” the president wrote, but the Colorado portrait was “purposely distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before”.
The painting depicts the president with a “serious, thoughtful, non-confontational” expression, Sarah Boardman, the British artist, said after it was commissioned in 2018.
Five things to look for in Canada’s election
BBC – Canada’s general election campaign is under way, a 36-day sprint taking place in unprecedented circumstances.
Voters will consider which party should govern the country just as the US – its neighbour and largest economic partner – launches a trade war and President Donald Trump muses about making Canada the 51st US state.
Domestic issues like housing and immigration will still be important, of course, but for the first time in decades, Canadians will also be grappling with fundamental questions about the country’s future when they head to the ballot box on 28 April.
Revealed: China’s new weapon that can cut any undersea cable
Chinese researchers have developed a compact, deep-sea device capable of severing even the most fortified underwater cables.
The development raises concerns that Beijing could target critical communication and power lines, especially in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
The tool can slice armoured cables at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet), which is twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure, according to an academic paper seen by the South China Morning Post.
BC Court Voids India ‘Cult’ Marriage
A British Columbia judge has annulled the marriage of a woman to a fellow member of an India-based “cult group,” saying she didn’t “truly consent” to the 2023 wedding.
The B.C. Supreme Court ruling issued this week says the woman claimed she was manipulated and overwhelmed by a “barrage” of overtures from the man and his family that began in October 2022.

Rich Democrats scramble to open Swiss bank accounts over Trump fears
America’s elite are racing to open Swiss bank accounts and move hundreds of millions of dollars out of the country as they fear being targeted by Donald Trump.
Fears of potential restrictions on moving money overseas mean ultra-wealthy Democrat families are moving huge chunks of cash out of the country as an insurance policy against the Republican administration.
Robert Paul, co-head of private clients at wealth management firm London and Capital, said: “These are big chunks of money. We’ve had five cases in the last three or four weeks, and the sums have been $40m, $30m, $30m, $100m and $50m.
Toronto looks to maintain reputation for voting stupid by favouring multi-passported foreign carpetbagger
CityNews-Leger poll shows strong support for Carney-led Liberal party among Torontonians
Torontonians strongly favour a Liberal government under Mark Carney, according to a CityNews-Leger poll.
That is likely not good news for Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, as experts say Toronto ridings will be crucial for any path to victory for both the Liberals and Conservatives in this election.
You can’t expect much from the city that elected Chairman Chow.
Croydon to get UK’s first permanent facial recognition cameras
Facial recognition cameras that scan for wanted criminals are being installed permanently on UK high streets for the first time, The Times can reveal.
The Metropolitan Police will permanently put up live facial recognition (LFR) cameras in Croydon, south London, as part of a pilot project that may see the scheme extended across the capital.
The cameras, set to go live in June or July, will monitor the faces of people on the high street and match their image to a database of alleged criminals, including rapists, burglars and robbers.
Data Dive with Nik Nanos: The Conservatives were running away in the polls. But the federal election has become a horserace
By the end of 2024, the next Canadian federal election was shaping up to be a car crash for the Liberals. The party, which has been in power since 2015, seemed destined for political exile. Despite weathering U.S. President Donald Trump’s first term, the pandemic, the SNC-Lavalin affair and the WE charity controversy – or probably because of these things – Justin Trudeau had become a polarizing figure, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was probably measuring the drapes in the Prime Minister’s Office.
