OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will vote against the Liberals’ temporary GST cut in a vote expected Thursday.
Poilievre said the Liberal proposal is a political stunt and his party can’t support it.
“This isn’t a tax cut. This is an inflationary two-month temporary tax trick that will drive up the cost of living,” he said.
“I’m really conflicted, we have a lot more stuff to give but I’m not a fan of Donald Trump… these signs are a problem for me. I’m gonna have to think about it.” – Hurricane Helene volunteer in North Carolina to a Trump supporter

Sometimes you just have to take things with a grain of salt — with some lime or lemons too.
Especially while downing shooters.

As the war in Ukraine escalates and the shambles of the Biden administration flounders to an end, the world awaits with mounting curiosity the disclosure by President Trump of his method for swiftly ending the war satisfactorily. As Joe Biden’s presidency winds down, it is more clear than ever how inept its management of the Ukraine War has been.
Readers will recall that as President Putin’s saber-rattling reached its noisiest point, almost three years ago, Mr. Biden said that America’s response to a Russian invasion of Ukraine would depend on whether it sought only the annexation of a few provinces or the conquest of the whole country.
Most Republicans are understandably elated by the 2024 election results: the GOP will soon control the White House and both chambers of Congress. Exit polls, which showed comparatively strong Republican performance among minority voters, render increasingly implausible the notion that demographic change alone will usher in a permanent Democratic majority. This decline in racial and ethnic polarization, at least in voting choices, should be celebrated. Race and ethnicity are not the only demographic characteristics worth tracking, however, and the election results also revealed intriguing trends among religious voters.
OTTAWA — The Canadian military’s infrastructure in the Arctic is “limited and deteriorating” and will soon reach a “rust-out” stage unless action is taken to stop it from getting worse, according to a new first-of-its-kind evaluation of the armed forces’ operations in the region.
The report from the Department of National Defence raises concerns about a lack of strategic direction for the military in the Arctic that could hamper future planning. It describes shortages of personnel and resources that require the Canadian Armed Forces to rely heavily on contractors for planes and over-the-snow vehicles for its largest annual exercise in the region. It also highlights how aging northern radar stations leave gaps for detecting potential threats that aren’t set to be addressed until new infrastructure is ready in the early 2030s.
On a Sunday morning, the Essex police showed up at the home of Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson to interrogate her, because she had tweeted a photo of Manchester police officers posing with representatives of the Islamist Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, some of whose leading members were recently charged with terrorism offenses.
Pearson’s crime, for which Essex police formed a “gold group” normally used for dealing with major crimes, was tweeting “look at this lot smiling with the Jew haters” about the ugly photo.
The union representing Canada Post workers says the Crown corporation has been laying striking employees off as the labour action by more than 55,000 workers approaches the two-week mark.
In a notice to members posted Monday, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers called the layoffs a “scare tactic” and said it’s looking into the situation.
The notice pointed to a section of the Canada Labour Code that forbids employers from laying off workers who are participating in a strike.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been denied bail for the third time by a judge in New York City.
Two judges previously denied Mr Combs’s release from custody, primarily due to concerns about potential witness tampering, deeming it a significant risk if he was freed before trial, which is scheduled for May 2025.
Mr Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.
Esther Rantzen says she doesn’t have the strength to fly to Canada to seek lasting relief from her ever-advancing cancer, but she would if she could.
“I love Canada, but I think I will go to Switzerland and seek an assisted death if the illness starts to progress faster,” Rantzen, 84, said from her cottage in the New Forest in southern England.
“It was named the New Forest a thousand years ago by one of William the Conqueror’s sons. So we are quite a conservative country…. If we regard a thousand years as being quite new, you can see why it’s taking us a bit of time to reform our current law.”
Donald Trump has announced that, even before he takes office, he has already extracted a promise from the Mexican president to block illegal aliens seeking to pour into the USA.
Donald Trump is threatening steep tariffs on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada, Mexico and China.
They’ll be in place until the countries stop the flow of migrants and drugs illegally entering the U.S., Trump said. Mexico and China have threatened to respond in kind.
Businesses, economists and policymakers are trying to figure out how much of this is threat, how much is bluff and how much is real.
Warning CBC ahead.
After Joe Biden’s disastrous TV debate with Donald Trump, when the president’s reelection prospects began unravelling, Vancouver immigration lawyer Randall Cohn started getting calls from Americans.
It was the first “panic period” among people anxious about another Trump administration and interested in moving to Canada.

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.
But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.
