Premiers should take Trudeau’s carbon tax back to court

The cracks in the legal rationale for the federal carbon tax are growing. New Brunswick’s outgoing Premier Blaine Higgs was right to keep chipping away at them.

Federal carbon tax “carve-outs violate the Supreme Court’s ruling,” New Brunswick’s Progressive Conservative Party said when Higgs announced he would launch a new legal challenge against the tax.

B.C. Liberal MP Weiler read a letter to Trudeau and caucus on behalf of dissenting MPs, calling for the prime minister’s resignation

One Liberal MP described the meeting as ‘the first time we’ve had a caucus meeting where people actually spoke their mind.’

Two-term B.C. Liberal MP Patrick Weiler read out a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the party’s national caucus meeting on Oct. 23, telling the full Liberal caucus that 24 MPs have signed the document calling for the leader’s resignation by Oct. 28, according to Liberal sources.

Weiler (West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, B.C.), who was unavailable for an interview by deadline, was the first speaker at the highly anticipated Oct. 23 Liberal national caucus meeting. The letter was later handed over to Trudeau (Papineau, Que.). The document contained only the text of the letter, but not the signatures of the 24 dissident MPs.

“Kill Musk’s Twitter”: Leaked Docs Show US-UK NGO Plan for Online Censorship

Leaked documents from a group linked to the British Labour Party contain a plan to take down the social media platform X.

The Pernicious Myth of “Islamophobia”

In August 2024, three children were brutally murdered by Axel Rudakubana, a 17-year-old male of Rwandan descent, in Southport, England. Given the countless jihadist atrocities that have been committed on British soil over the past 20 years, before the attacker could be identified, many people concluded that this was the latest case of Islamic terrorism. Armed with this understandable (though as yet unproven) assumption, these aggrieved Britons promptly took to the streets to express their anger. Regrettably, these protests would soon spiral into mindless violence – including attacks on mosques and asylum centres, which we at the Alliance of Former Muslims fiercely condemn.
