Trudeau Thinks 1 In 5 Households Are The One Percent
Canada made yet another material misrepresentation of the facts when pitching higher taxation. After experiencing sharp criticism regarding the data and statements used to justify an increase in capital gains taxation, the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) is doubling down. In a new video delivering the “facts” on the capital gains issue, the party’s leader implies the media’s criticism is geared towards secretly protecting the rich. Of course, this video also uses data with another material misrepresentation. That’s what us normal folks would call “a lie.”
Ex-Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby spared prison for perjury and fraud
A former Baltimore city prosecutor who achieved a national profile for charging police officers in a Black man’s death was spared prison time in her sentence on Thursday for perjury and mortgage fraud.
Former state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby’s sentence includes 12 months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release.
After the sentencing hearing, Mosby hugged her supporters, some of whom applauded when the judge announced the sentence. “I’m just so incredibly grateful,” Mosby told dozens of supporters outside the courthouse. “This is not over, but God was here today.”
Baltimore is so crooked.
Most Albertans now say it’s difficult to meet monthly expenses, for first time in years of polling
In a recent poll commissioned by CBC News, 54 per cent of Albertans said it’s been difficult to meet their monthly household expenses — marking the first time that a majority of people have felt that way over six years of similar polling.
Pollster Janet Brown has been asking Albertans a variety of questions about their personal experiences and political preferences, as part of regular polling commissioned by CBC News since 2018.
Calgary population surges by staggering 6%, Edmonton by 4.2% in latest StatsCan estimates
Calgary’s metro-area population grew by nearly 96,000 people last year — a staggering six per cent increase in the span of just 12 months — according to new estimates released Wednesday by Statistics Canada.
Edmonton, meanwhile, added more than 63,000 people, marking a 4.2 per cent increase.
That’s the largest year-over-year increase for both cities in the modern StatsCan records, which date back to 2001.

Democrats Panic Over Jewish Voters
After tossing Jewish voters overboard to accommodate the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, the Democrats are starting to get nervous about the choice they made.
Despite the rollout of the campaign, beginning with Senator Schumer’s floor speech blasting Israel, and various liberal Jewish surrogates, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, vocally opposing the campaign against Hamas, the Democrats did not manage to sell Jews on Biden’s betrayal.
I’ll believe this when I see it and frankly I don’t expect to see it.
A recent poll in Canada measuring Jewish support found 33% still likely to vote Liberal. In the US Jews voting Democrat is practically a religious rite.
To the European Right: Don’t Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
While newsrooms across Europe, including ours, scramble to report on the fallout between right-wing parties and analyze what the shake-ups in political groupings might mean for the next European Parliament, we should not forget that the Right has an historic opportunity to make an impact in the larger battle for Europe. It should not be wasted on internal power-struggles and infighting.
Ordinary Europeans do not care about comings and goings in Brussels-based political groupings. “Will they stay in ECR? Will there be a split in ID? Will there be a new faction?” While we will certainly report on these questions, the truth is that nobody in the real world really votes on the basis of whether their party of choice is in the European Conservatives & Reformists (ECR) or in Identity & Democracy (ID). We must be careful not to get so drawn into parliamentary machinations that we lose sight of the big picture.
Huge pro-Trump crowd in the Bronx shows something profound happening in America
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez admitted the other day that the virtue of the so-called “hush money” trial is that it keeps Trump off the campaign trail. She slammed the fact that Trump would even contemplate making lemonade out of that lemon by campaigning in the Bronx—her turf. That was fear speaking, and AOC was right to be afraid. What’s happening now in the Bronx is monumental. A crowd that was estimated to be a few thousand is currently in the tens of thousands and still growing.
🚨BREAKING: TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE ALREADY AT RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BRONX RALLY!
Just 12 days ago, Trump had the largest rally in New Jersey HISTORY with a crowd of OVER 107,000!
NEW YORK IS TRUMP COUNTRY!
AOC definitely doesn't want you to share this! pic.twitter.com/A6A6lBSZmC

Why progressives want to forget George Floyd
BLM revolutionaries squandered their opportunity
Leonard, the hero of Christopher Nolan’s Memento, cannot form new memories. This poses something of a problem when you’re trying to find the guy who killed your wife. Her brutal murder is the last thing Leonard remembers, and he has been hunting for the perpetrator ever since. To survive in the present, he has a stack of Polaroids that he uses to identify friends and a carpeting of tattoos on his body, including the words JOHN G RAPED AND MURDERED MY WIFE draped across his collarbones. This is written backwards, so that he can read it every time he looks in the mirror. It is his purpose. It tells him who he is.

Record Attendance at the Chartres Pilgrimage: What’s next?
The 2024 edition of the Notre-Dame de Chrétienté Pilgrimage was a great success once again this year. 18,000 pilgrims flocked to Notre-Dame de Chartres, which can be counted as one of the most famous cathedrals in France. Initially conceived for the faithful attached to the traditional Latin liturgy of the Catholic Church, the ‘phenomenon’ of the Chartres pilgrimage has now been taken on board by the major media as an unmissable event in the French and international Catholic world.
German climate activists charged with ‘forming a criminal organisation’
Five members of Letzte Generation, Germany’s equivalent to Just Stop Oil, have been charged with “forming a criminal organisation”, a move civil rights campaigners say could in effect criminalise future support for the climate campaign.
Mirjam Herrmann, 27, Henning Jeschke, 22, Edmund Schulz, 60, Lukas Popp, 25, and Jakob Beyer, 30, were charged under section 129 of the German criminal code. It is believed to be the first time the law has been applied to a non-violent protest group.
According to prosecutors in the state of Brandenburg, the charges relate to more than a dozen “attacks” against oil refineries, the Berlin-Brandenburg airport and the Museum Barberini, in Potsdam, between April 2022 and May 2023.
A ‘nice gesture but inappropriate’: Critics dismiss RCMP addition of Indigenous ribbon skirt to uniform
OTTAWA—The Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s addition of ribbon skirts to its uniform is being viewed as ignorant of the force’s history with Indigenous people rather than the symbol of reconciliation that it is being presented as.
On Wednesday, RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme announced on X, formerly Twitter, the addition of ribbon skirts, along with the eagle feather and Métis sash already in use, to “demonstrate the RCMP’s values of reconciliation, equity, diversity, and inclusion.”
I thought it was a Gay flag.
U.S. senators write to Trudeau asking him to meet 2% GDP defence spending commitment
A bipartisan group of 23 U.S. senators have written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging his country to live up to its commitment to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence amid concerns that key members of the NATO alliance are not pulling their weight.
“As we approach the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington, D.C., we are concerned and profoundly disappointed that Canada’s most recent projection indicated that it will not reach its two percent commitment this decade,” the senators wrote. “In 2029, Canada’s defence spending is estimated to rise to just 1.7 percent, five years after the agreed upon deadline of 2024 and still below the spending baseline.”
Liberals hammered over auto theft action plan during meeting on public safety and national security
Auto theft remains a front burner issue in Ottawa, days after the federal government unveiled a new action plan to tackle the crisis.
Conservatives attempted to portray the Liberals as soft-on-crime on Thursday before the standing committee on Public Safety and National Security.
“Are they concerned about the victims or are they concerned about the criminals?,” Arnold Viersen (Cons. Peace River-Westlock) asked the committee.
