John Ivison: Justin Trudeau needs to wake up to Donald Trump’s reckless new world disorder

The world appears to be drifting inexorably towards catastrophe but you wouldn’t know it from watching the House of Commons, where momentous global events are subordinated to the relative domestic trivia of car thefts and carbon taxes.

What will it take to rouse Canadian politicians from their torpor?

How about the candidate who is odds on to be the next president of the United States indicating in a speech that he will give Vladimir Putin free rein in Europe, if he is elected?

The TDS is strong in Ivison.

Alberta NDP leadership candidate says federal carbon levy is ‘dead’

Alberta’s former deputy premier entered the province’s NDP leadership Sunday with criticism of the federal carbon levy and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Sarah Hoffman, who was deputy premier when the NDP was elected in 2015, joins fellow legislature members Kathleen Ganley and Rakhi Pancholi in the race to replace Rachel Notley, who announced last month she was stepping down.

The new leader is to be chosen in June.

Barbara Kay: Woke feminists look to eliminate men as a category of victim

Everyone’s happy Dad is about to take the cliff.

You may have friends — as I do — who, as parents following a separation, have suffered the anguish of seeing beloved and formerly loving children turn into hostile strangers for no apparent reason, or through no fault of their own. All too often, the child’s hostility never abates, and the bond is irreparably severed.

Parental alienation has been defined as , “A mental condition in which a child — usually one whose parents are engaged in a high-conflict separation or divorce — allies himself or herself strongly with the preferred parent (the alienating parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the targeted parent) without legitimate justification.

GIESBRECHT: How the Indian Industry gets its hand into your pocket

Former Justice Minister David Lametti’s departure from government and immediate acceptance into an expensive law firm that makes millions from indigenous issues is a recent example of what has long been called “The Indian Industry” at work.

The fact that a member of the firm, Perry Bellegarde, former Grand Chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) greased the wheels to bring Lametti into the expensive firm makes it the perfect example.

To appease Muslims, Europe’s universities stop teaching the Holocaust

I was in Utrecht way back in 2009 for a journalistic investigation into the Islamization of Holland and already then I understood that we were living in an obscene moment of cultural chaos.

“Europe will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz,” writes the Dutch novelist Leon de Winter. Paradoxical? Not that much. And perhaps in the minds of many Europeans, Islam is the tool to put an end to this psychological paradox.

Just think that on 7 October, Hamas displaced 1,894 survivors of the Shoah and in Europe the streets were inflamed by Islamists.

Gen Z — What’s a Paper Route?

Young adults in this age group lack a work ethic, and the future looks perilous.

Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs star and host of How America Works, has recently unloaded on Gen Z, the age cohort born somewhere between the mid-1990s through 2010 and sometimes known as “zoomers.” Rowe said that the importance of hard work is on the way out, and we have seen the last days of a work ethic being a virtue. He said that work ethic, personal responsibility, delayed gratification, and a decent attitude were expected in the workplace, and those days are gone.

Gen Zers never had a paper route.

Trudeau has ensured an economic lost generation by making existence unaffordable in Canada.

Their dreams are stillborn.

The renewables bubble has burst

It wasn’t so long ago that Orsted was being held up as an example of how oil and gas companies should handle the transition to clean energy. In 2009 the then-DONG (Danish Oil and Natural Gas) announced that it was going to turn around it business so that instead of earning 85 per cent of its money from oil and gas it was going to earn 85 per cent of it from renewables. It was an early mover in offshore wind – and, at least for some years, shareholders were richly rewarded. The share price marched upwards from around £19 in 2014 to a peak at £100 in early 2021. Increasing your money fivefold and saving the planet at the same time – you can hardly argue with that.

The Red Cross Still Hates the Jews

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has a mandate to “alleviate human suffering, protect life and health, and uphold human dignity,” especially during armed conflicts. It has an annual budget of roughly $2.7 billion to fulfill that mandate. Yet, when it comes to the Israelis kidnapped by Hamas during the terrorist organization’s horrific invasion on October 7, the ICRC has literally done absolutely nothing.

Approximately 136 hostages remain in Gaza, but Israel has confirmed that at least 32 of those hostages are no longer alive.

The House of Cards Crumbles: Why the Bell Media Layoffs and Government’s Failed Media Policy are Connected

Bell’s announcement this week that it is laying off thousands of workers – including nearly 500 Bell Media employees – has sparked political outrage with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau characterizing it as a “garbage decision.” The job losses are obviously brutal for those directly affected and it would be silly to claim that a single policy response was responsible. Yet to suggest that the government’s media policy, particularly Bills C-11 and C-18, played no role is to ignore the reality of a failed approach for which there have been blinking warning signs for years. Indeed, Trudeau’s anger (which felt a bit like a reprise of his Meta comments over the summer) may partly reflect frustration that his policy choices have not only not worked, but have made matters worse.

Former MP Raj Grewal launches $50M lawsuit against RCMP, Ontario attorney general

A former Liberal MP has launched a $50-million lawsuit against the RCMP and Ontario attorney general, nearly a year after a judge dismissed charges that stemmed from the claim that he used his political office for personal gain.

The lawsuit, launched by former Brampton East MP Raj Grewal, accuses the national police service along with province’s chief law officer of wrongfully alleging he misused his political office for financial benefit.

Her car was stolen 3 times in the past year. She says consumers shouldn’t bear the brunt of the problem

A Toronto woman whose car was stolen three times in the past year — and who had a rental car stolen too — says nobody is taking the problem seriously enough.

Kristin Shensel, a real estate broker, said her 2019 Range Rover was stolen three times since January 2023 from the street in front of her house. A rental car she used last year, a Jaguar, was also stolen.

Her car was first stolen in January 2023, then again in June 2023 and again on Wednesday night. The rental car was stolen two days after she got it in February 2023.

Does better anti-theft security mean a higher consumer price?
