Dozens of demonstrators could be seen sitting in the street, while others crowded against the side of the van at the central London rally calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

New ‘Strategies’ Needed to Restore Public Trust in Institutions: Government Memo

The federal government needs to develop strategies to restore public trust in the country’s institutions, an internal memo says.

There’s “growing evidence” that the public mistrusts the government, says the memo, acquired by Blacklock’s Reporter through Access to Information.

“Based on our internal discussions and trends we have seen from stakeholders and partners we suggest the following priority topics: There is growing evidence there has been an erosion of trust in democratic institutions,” said the memo by the Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence, which is part of Public Safety Canada.

‘Trying to steal back voters’: Strategists weigh in on Liberal budget messaging plan

The Liberals are deploying a new pre-budget marketing strategy that will see most of the upcoming federal budget announced before it is actually tabled in the House of Commons on April 16.

Kicking off this week with renter-fairness and child-care affordability announcements, and coinciding social media video featuring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledging to Canadians under the age of 34 that the overall theme for the 2024 budget will be “generational fairness,” the Liberals have two weeks of news conferences ahead.

They’ve taxed you to near death, tanked the economy and made Canada a laughing stock, now they’ll try to bribe you with your own money.

Alberta NDP leadership candidates torn about automatic ties to federal party

What began as a race to pick a new leader for Alberta’s Opposition NDP has triggered a broader existential debate over why being provincially orange must automatically tie you to the federal brand.

According to party constitutions, members of a provincial NDP are automatically members of the federal party.

It’s a linkage that caused headaches for Alberta’s NDP when it was in government from 2015 to 2019 and continues to prove politically problematic as it seeks to wrest power from Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservatives in 2027.

What Is Causing the Squatting Surge?

Dear Weekend Jolter,

Who’s up for a round of armchair sociology?

Say the world is struck by a calamity unprecedented in the modern age, and, in response, good citizens are instructed to work from home if possible and keep their children home from school; college grads are allowed to pause student-loan payments; and landlords are told not to evict tenants for falling behind on rent.

Donald Trump: I blame Joe Biden for October 7 attacks on Israel

In an exclusive interview with Israel Hayom, Donald Trump discussed Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, what he would do as president of the United States, and his opinions on current US President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress.

While at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, Omer Lachmanovich, editor-in-chief of Israel Hayom, and Ariel Kahana, the publication’s chief diplomatic correspondent, described the setting as lavish, with an aura of a royal palace. Israel Hayom reported that just before the interview began, Trump spent the first minute examining how the conversation would look on screen. After several seconds of watching the monitor set behind their backs, which displayed the interview, Trump said, “Looks good,” and the interview began.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Single Liberal Woman

Last month, conservative news host Jesse Kelly told Megyn Kelly on her podcast that “the mentally ill single woman is the beating heart of the Democrat Party.”

He proclaimed over 70 percent of single women vote Democrat. Furthermore, he declared that “studies” show approximately 60 percent of those women had been diagnosed with some sort of mental illness.

Kelly (the man) joked that everyone knows a woman with “her eyes half bugged out of her skull. … She ruins Thanksgiving every time bragging about her 15th abortion!” While Kelly’s exaggerations made me laugh, I simultaneously thought to myself, Oh crap. He’s talking about me. Or at least who I used to be. And while I’ve not had 15, or even one abortion — thank the Lord — I have been known to ruin a perfectly fine family event.

Was Vietnam worth the cost?

Vietnam Veterans’ Day is annually observed on March 29. It commemorates the hardships suffered and sacrifices made by nine million Americans during the Vietnam War, and their families who supported them before, during, and after.

Through the years I’ve done a great deal of research and introspection about the war, to understand the war’s pathology from beginning to end. I’ve returned to Vietnam twice for visits and research, and Vietnamese and American friends and veterans have provided their perspectives. The net result of these efforts yielded an unequivocal verdict: the war was a grave self-inflicted injury on our nation on many levels, a “Greek tragedy” writ large, that changed our country forever and whose negative impact still haunts us.

Will France be the victim of a new jihad?

France’s schools are once again under shock. The principal of Maurice Ravel high school in eastern Paris resigned from his position following online threats subsequent to a confrontation with a student who refused to remove her hijabs while on school grounds, as required by the law.

The French have read this script before. In 2020, a young Chechen individual tragically took the life of the teacher Samuel Paty after the former had shared a cartoon of Muhammad during a discussion on freedom of speech. Previously, one of his students provided a highly provocative version of events to her parents, who then informed their neighbours, fellow believers, and local provocateurs. They labelled Paty an “Islamophobe,” putting a target on his back. The young Chechen came across the controversy and decided to take the matter into his own hands.

No Showers, No Sleep: Van Life Isn’t as Cool as Instagram Makes It Seem

With home prices so high, living on wheels seems a reasonable alternative. Many find it isn’t.

Siena Juhlin bought a white Ford Transit in August and decided to make it her home. She needed a new place to live, and the idea of traveling full time in a big cargo van sounded like a fairy tale. Soon, she was off, decamping from her waitressing job in Missouri with plans to live off her savings while exploring the West Coast.

That lasted two months. In California, Juhlin’s transmission died. Ever since, she has been working three part-time jobs to regain the $5,000 she had to spend to get it fixed.

It wasn’t exactly the journey she expected—but she still prefers it to her old life as an apartment dweller. “Everything is 10 times harder,” said Juhlin, 23. “But everything is also amazingly beautiful and rewarding.”

Former US Navy admiral leads search for underwater alien USOs

Hunt for clues to extraterrestrial life forms visiting Earth moves from skies to the seas

Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have caused so much concern in recent years that even Nasa launched a lengthy probe to find out what they were.

Now some experts believe the hunt should move from the skies to the sea.

The former head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is launching a probe into unidentified submersible objects (USOs) and, in particular, a strange anomaly seen on the seabed off the coast of California.


Richard Dolan is credible, he’s been at this a long time.

Experts Warn of ‘Digital Enslavement’ as Amazon Pushes Palm-Scan Payment Service

E-commerce giant Amazon has just launched new tech that makes it far easier to sign up for its palm-scanning payment service, sparking renewed concerns among privacy experts, with some warning it’s another pebble in the growing rock pile of big tech-enabled, Orwell-style digital enslavement.

Amazon announced on March 28 that it had just launched a new app that lets first-time users of its Amazon One biometric payment service sign up for it from the comfort of their home (instead of having to do it at a physical store) by taking a photo of a hand and uploading it to Amazon’s servers.

‘It’s a mafia’: the cut-throat world of Canadian maple syrup

Rebel farmers have long complaned about the federation that sets Canada’s prices. Now their bitter dispute has descended into vengeance and conspiracy theories

When the federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers announced that stocks of its strategic reserve were running low, Gabriel Jort saw it as a plot. The “cartel”, as he calls the group, was up to its usual dirty tricks.

“It’s a mafia, there’s no other way to put it,” claimed the farmer, 44, who makes about 35,000 litres of maple syrup a year. “There’s been so many weird things, shady things, it’s hard to really believe anything they say.”
