Anthony Furey: Canadians Are Worried About Rising Fuel Prices, and Politicians Should Listen
Canadians’ wallets have been hit hard recently by inflation. Prices have gone up at the grocery store, gas station, and pretty much everywhere else consumers shop. But don’t expect any sympathy from Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Her recent remarks on the situation only rub salt in the wound.
Here’s the background to Freeland’s latest gaffe. On July 1, the Trudeau Liberals plowed ahead with their plans to increase the federal carbon tax yet again. This annual increase to what’s basically a “tax on everything” has sadly become a common occurrence.

From the folks who stole bread from the mouths of children … Welcome to the Great Canadian Meat Price Fixing Scandal!
CHARLEBOIS: From one ‘cartel’ to another
We have just learned that major Canadian food companies, namely Loblaw, Metro, Maple Leaf Foods, Walmart, and Weston Bakeries, find themselves entangled in a class-action lawsuit filed in Quebec. It seems inevitable that we may soon witness a similar class-action lawsuit affecting the rest of Canada.
The lawsuit alleges that these industry giants colluded to unlawfully manipulate the price of meat, resulting in households allegedly paying more than $4 billion in unjustified excess. At the centre of the case lies a critical piece of evidence — an email dating back to March 2007, wherein the former president of Maple Leaf Foods, Michael McCain, outlines a concerning discussion with Paul Del Duca, a former senior vice-president at Metro in Ontario.
We are a Banana Republic.
Shock Poll: Support for Anti-Globalist AfD Hits New Record High, Again
For the third time in a month, support for the right-wing anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has soared to a new record high, with the latest polling data revealing that if parliamentary elections were held this weekend, the party would garner 23% of the national vote, placing it just 3 points behind the CDU/CSU.
Singh confronts ‘homophobic’ heckler at event in Newfoundland
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was quick to clap back at a drive-by heckler on Tuesday, inviting the man to “have a conversation” with him instead of shouting expletives out of his car window.
Singh was speaking outside of a Dominion grocery store in St. John’s, N.L., about high food prices when a man in a black car pulled up next to him in the parking lot shouting an expletive of a sexual nature about Singh and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The audio in this clip picks up the driver suggesting Jagmeet Singh sucks the Prime Minister's 🐓.
Jagmeet clearly upset with the heckler mentioning his oral capacity with the PM responds by calling him a homophobe.
Coalition indeed. pic.twitter.com/PJkh1dEE05

Sweden and Denmark bow to pressure over Quran book burnings
In 1766, Sweden enacted its landmark Press Freedom Act, becoming the first country in the world to implement such protections. In 1770, Denmark outpaced this achievement by formally abolishing all forms of censorship. Despite intermittent setbacks, these pioneering acts cultivated a vibrant culture of free expression. The Scandinavian countries evolved into global symbols of democracy, freedom, equality and prosperity, underpinned by socially liberal and secular values. However, on Sunday Denmark and Sweden undermined these core values by yielding to pressure from some of the world’s most politically authoritarian and religiously oppressive states.

Poilievre says Liberal immigration target driven by Trudeau’s ‘ideology’ but doesn’t say if Conservatives might lower number
OTTAWA — Canada’s immigration system is broken, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre charged Tuesday, as he sidestepped questions about whether he would change current targets.
Appearing before reporters on Parliament Hill, Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent comments on housing and pledged to speed up entry for immigrants skilled in the building trades.
Teenage boys increasingly embrace conservatism, turning against a liberalism that takes aim at ‘toxic masculinity’ in America’s classrooms and workplaces: analysis
An adage suggests that people start liberal when young and drift conservative as they age.
New research is challenging that maxim.
A study of political attitudes shows that teenage boys are increasingly entering adulthood as fully-fledged conservatives.
WARMINGTON: Freeland under fire for transit claims and limo use

Sabrina Maddeaux: Liberal policies are fuelling labour strife across Canada
The ongoing B.C. port strike is the labour version of a reality dating show — it’s full of unpredictable twists, hosted by a federal Liberal party that favours sound bites over substance, and one half of the relationship can’t commit.
But it’s far from the only rockier-than-usual labour negotiation we’ve seen as of late. As port workers strike out west, about 3,700 Metro grocery store workers are striking in Ontario, shuttering 27 locations. Manitoba Liquor Mart employees also continue to strike as negotiations have reportedly stalled.
