OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre launched his campaign on Sunday at the Museum of History across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill, arguing that his party is in the race to “make a change” from the Liberal status quo.
Poilievre beat Prime Minister Mark Carney to the punch, speaking half an hour before Carney was scheduled to ask Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament and send Canadians to the polls next month.
The Walt Disney Company, the most financially successful entertainment conglomerate in history, laid an egg with its latest blockbuster live-action/animated hybrid “Snow White.” It’s not the first time that Disney produced a clunker. In a business that is essentially “hit or miss,” and where misses are far more common than hits, Disney’s formulaic approach to the business of making movies failed them.
A good compilation of the real – not insider/influencer reviews after Disney ended the review embargo.

When Deborah Wilson first bought her Tesla Model Y in 2022, she loved it.
A resident of Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood and a busy mother of two, she found it nimble and fun to drive. Plus, it was an environmentally sound purchase and saved her money on gas at a time when every trip to the pump was pricey.
But since then, she’s become increasingly self-conscious driving it around town amid U.S. President Donald Trump‘s threat of annexation and close relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has stirred up significant controversy of his own.
People are at risk of mockery on the school run!

Georgiy Uchaykin slipped the knife from his pocket and slashed the freezing air of the shooting range in downtown Kyiv. One cutting arc, then another stab.
“Look,” said the 56-year-old chairman of the Ukrainian Gun Owners Association (UGOA). “When men come at you with a knife you don’t have much time. They move quickly.” He pointed the knife towards me. “That’s why gun owners train themselves to draw and shoot within one and a half seconds.”
Uchaykin, a bald, heavy-set man wearing jeans and T-shirt, grinned. “You can’t overstate the importance of guns.” He said he had started teaching his grandson to shoot when the boy turned seven.

EDMONTON – Jordon Kosikowie has been thinking a lot about what would happen if Alberta joined the United States.
The 35-year-old works in the oil and gas industry in the Edmonton area and says life has been hard in recent years. So he’s open to the idea if it brings more prosperity.
“If there’s an opportunity for me to put more money into my pocket, why not converse about it?” said Kosikowie, who runs a Facebook group for Albertans who want to be a part of a 51st U.S. state. The group has grown to 1,000 members since it was created a few months ago.
They are the most advanced fighter jets in the world, capable of flying at 1,200mph while staying virtually invisible to enemy radar, equipped with unrivalled surveillance capabilities and a devastating array of missiles.
Every year roughly 150 new state-of-the-art planes, which have quickly become the backbone of modern Western air forces, rise from a base in Fort Worth, Texas, for delivery around the world.
But serious doubts about the programme that brings billions of dollars into the US have emerged in recent weeks due to one burning question – can allies rely on America any more?
Like many postsecondary students, Charlotte Fowler is careful about how she spends her money.
Her books and clothes are bought locally, often from thrift stores. She takes a pass on the $6 baskets of blueberries. And as much as she’d like to get behind the Buy Local movement and avoid anything from the United States, she said spending extra isn’t something she can afford.
A primary school has scrapped its annual Easter celebration and service in order to “respect diverse religious beliefs”.
The announcement has been criticised in online comments, with one suggesting that Christmas celebrations will be cancelled next.
Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hants, sent a letter to parents and carers informing them that neither their Easter Bonnet Parade nor their Easter Service would be held this year.
It's uttery insanity.

Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine has been dismissed as “a posture and a pose” by Donald Trump’s special envoy.
Steve Witkoff said the idea was based on a “simplistic” notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking “we have all got to be like Winston Churchill”.
In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he “liked” the Russian president.
Steve Witkoff has no background in diplomacy but has turned out to be the most effective American diplomat in a generation. Here’s how he’s trying to resolve the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.

Sunday’s edition of the Financial Times included the oft-made observation that Canada is brimming with potential, and the oft-made conclusion that this country would be much better off if it simply developed its God-given gifts.
The article, Unlocking Canada’s Superpower Potential by Tej Parikh, made the bullish case for this country’s future prospects: Canada is geographically huge and loaded with natural resources — on paper, at least, it has the makings of an actual global superpower.
