If an election were called in Ontario today, a new poll suggests the voters would hand Premier Doug Ford a clear victory.
A new Leger poll, exclusive to the National Post, put Ford’s Progressive Conservatives 24 points ahead of the Liberals. The results indicate 46 per cent of poll respondents expressed support for the reigning Tories versus 22 per cent for Bonnie Crombie’s Liberals, 19 per cent for the NDP, just 7 per cent for the Green Party and 6 per cent other.
The returning Resistance Media have begun to report on the Trump Administration very much the same way they reported on the previous Trump Administration: with glaring omissions in service of a narrative. In this case, half-reporting on the initial executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.
“My concern isn’t just that we’re going to get this influx but we are going to see more of the kind of policies we’ve been seeing lately in Canada, which are very much about closing the doors and battening down the hatches.
What’s happening in the U.S. will continue to drive that rhetoric in Canada.”
Geez I sure hope so!
President Donald Trump was so busy on his first day in office that it’s been a challenge to cover everything that he did.
The best way to know which are the best ones to discuss is to look at the way Democrats are reacting to them. His pardon of J6 prisoners was a big one; they’re really up in arms about that. Another one was his executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants in the United States.
Migration advocates are spotlighting tearful migrants at President Donald Trump’s restored southern border as the advocates try to reduce Americans’ record support for deportations.
“It is emotional extortion and it works on low-information readers and people that are watching television,” said Todd Bensman, a migration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies. “The media needs to hold the people who are pushing that tactic to account — like they do anybody in the MAGA movement or Donald Trump.”
Canada is experiencing a “concerning increase” in extremism but does not need to raise its terrorism threat level, according to CSIS.
Despite a series of attacks and disrupted plots, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said the threat level would remain at “medium.”
… Former CSIS analyst Phil Gurski said the threat level should be based on corroborated intelligence about the number of extremists and their ability to plan and execute attacks.
He questioned whether CSIS was downplaying the threat posed by groups like ISIS at the behest of a government concerned about political optics, noting France raised its threat posture to the highest level last year.
The first woman to lead a branch of the US Armed Forces has been sacked by Donald Trump for excessively focusing on diversity policies while neglecting border security.
Adml Linda Fagan, who Joe Biden appointed to lead the US Coast Guard in 2022, was relieved of her duties by acting secretary of homeland security Benjamine Huffman.
The president said on Tuesday that his administration was in the process of “identifying and removing” more than 1,000 of his predecessors’ appointees.
Justin Trudeau has already announced his stepping down as Canada’s prime minister. But for Joe Rogan, his exit can’t come quick enough.
In a recent episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast that featured outdoorsman Steven Rinella, Rogan, 57, called the outgoing prime minister every foul name under the sun.

One of the many, many painful hangovers from the Biden administration that blue states are going to have to work through – without the aid of ibuprofen and/or copious amounts of alcohol – is going to be what to do now when the Green grifting dollars they gobbled up so greedily vanish.
This can’t be good news for Trudeau’s battery plant investment …
Jeep Maker Stellantis Brings Back American Classics After CEO Exit
Jeep is reviving its Cherokee-sized SUV. Dodge is bringing back the gas-engine version of its Charger muscle car. And Ram is hitting pause on its all-electric pickup truck.
In the weeks since the departure of former CEO Carlos Tavares, executives at global automaker Stellantis have been moving swiftly to turn around the U.S. operations, employing a series of changes to jump-start sales again.
Mark Carney scoops more caucus endorsements, including Steven Guilbeault
OTTAWA — Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is adding his name to the caucus endorsements who have thrown their support behind Mark Carney in the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Speaking to reporters in Montebello, Que., Guilbeault said that he has known Carney for many years and they both worked together on issues relating to climate change and the green energy transition with Carney’s role as special advisor to the United Nations.
This is not the endorsement Carney thinks it is.
President Trump on Wednesday threatened to impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia if there is no deal to stop the fighting in Ukraine “soon.”
“I’m not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin – and this despite the Radical Left’s Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX,” Trump posted on Truth Social, referencing a special counsel investigation into any coordination between his 2016 campaign and Moscow.
“All of that being said, I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,” Trump continued.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been under fire for apparently betraying Team Canada when it comes to the threatened tariffs from President Donald Trump.
But despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stoking Canada-Alberta divisions, the two leaders are remarkably in agreement on how best to approach the problem.
Ukraine has detained its army’s chief psychiatrist for alleged “illegal enrichment” charges related to earnings of more than $1m (£813,000) accrued since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
In a statement, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said the man sat on a commission deciding whether individuals were fit for military service.
The SBU statement did not name him – however, a man called Oleh Druz was previously identified as the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ chief psychiatrist.
