There’s an old, satirical saying that goes, ‘The king can do no wrong. He can only be led astray by his counsellors.’ Well, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Prime Minister Mark Carney can do no wrong on his own, but I think his counsellors are giving him particularly bad advice right now.
I say that because Carney’s much-heralded speech in Davos, as well as his recent headline-making trips to China and Qatar, bear the fingerprints of our echo-chambered elite.
I LIVE in an idyllic village just a 15-minute drive from the wondrous (under-appreciated, if racist) Yorkshire Wolds. Another 15 minutes gets me into the wild North York Moors or lovely Howardian Hills (both also white supremacist/racist).
It’s a tad further to the racist Yorkshire Dales, but well before then I’d be in Britain’s greatest historic city, York, and who can bypass an afternoon (or a day, a weekend) in York?
Canada’s former antisemitism envoy Irwin Cotler is warning that the abolition of the position by Prime Minister Mark Carney is ill-advised and could make Jews less safe at a time of rising antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
Mr. Cotler, also a former Liberal justice minister and attorney general, is urging the federal government to revisit the decision to abolish the post of Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, a role he held for three years after it was created in 2020 by former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

With the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars less than four years away now, there remains one seemingly insurmountable obstacle: nobody wants to buy electric cars.
Last year, sales of EVs achieved a market share of just 23.43%. Newly released figures for last month show this fell to 20.6%. The Government has set a target this year of 33%, rising to 66% in 2029.
Once petrol and diesel cars (known as ICE vehicles, short for Internal Combustion Engine) are banned in 2030, zero emission cars must make up at least 80% of the market, with the rest filled with hybrids. However, the latter will also be gradually phased out by 2035. Zero emission essentially means battery-electric, although hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles would also qualify.
Canadians are not short on warnings.
Over the last several years, the country has been presented with a growing library of books, investigations, and front-page reporting outlining a pattern that should alarm any democracy: foreign interference, transnational organized crime, illicit finance, and institutional fragility converging inside Canada.
Carney just sees corruption as a cost of doing business.
Brexit marked the point at which the real political cleavage in the country could no longer be denied. The UK was split not by left and right but between what author David Goodhart described as the ‘Somewheres’ – the predominantly Leave-voting cohort whose identity is rooted in place – and ‘Anywheres’ – the largely urban, mobile, socially liberal and university-educated class who voted Remain.
In 2023, we published Grave Error, a book of essays that candidly discusses the “unmarked-graves” social panic that swept Canada four and a half years ago. In May 2021, it was announced that ground-penetrating radar (GPR) had identified the formerly unknown resting places of 215 Indigenous children who’d attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. The announcement sent shock waves through Canadian society, and led to months of self-lacerating commentary about our country’s colonial sins. Journalists and politicians alike acted as though these 215 victims—children who’d presumably been dispatched by murderous Residential School staff—had been identified and unearthed. It was only once this initial period of national hysteria ended that observers noted that, outside of the GPR reports, there existed no proof of graves, bodies, or human remains. And since GPR technology cannot detect bodies, but only soil dislocations that may equally indicate tree roots, drainage ditches, rocks, or other artefacts that have nothing to do with graves, the claim that these GPR-identified soil anomalies corresponded to graves remained unproven.
A Bradford NHS Trust sought to recruit a nurse to help relatives who are having children together.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust released an advertisement for ‘Close Relative Marriage Nurse/Midwife’ for its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The role explained the successful candidate would provide ‘comprehensive care and support to families who have recently had a baby and are close relatives’.
When Jesse Jia-Bei Zhu left British Columbia in 2015, the 62-year-old had a six-month jail sentence and a multimillion-dollar B.C. Supreme Court judgment hanging over his head — fallout from his thwarted plans for global domination of the lucrative bull semen industry.
Nearly a decade later, the wily entrepreneur’s name has resurfaced in the U.S. in connection to equally bizarre — if unsettling — allegations involving a pair of biolabs in California and Nevada stocked with vials of potentially hazardous substances.
Shortly before Christmas, the U.S. State Department slapped visa sanctions on five individuals whom it described as being agents of a “global censorship-industrial complex” bent on restricting the freedom of speech of Americans. The headliner of the sanctions list was, of course, Thierry Breton, the former EU internal market commissioner, who spearheaded efforts to enforce the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) during the last years of his tenure in the Commission. But the directors of three organizations allegedly involved in censorship activities were also sanctioned: HateAid, the Global Disinformation Index, and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
N.S. RCMP say officers faced racist comments during raid at Indigenous cannabis store
HALIFAX — An RCMP manager in Nova Scotia says he takes issue with officers being called white supremacists and Nazis during a recent police raid of an Indigenous-run cannabis dispensary, calling such statements “racist commentary.”
In response, a Mi’kmaq lawyer accused police of painting themselves as victims and heightening tensions for Indigenous communities that have been rocked by unproven allegations from provincial politicians about unlicensed cannabis dispensaries and human trafficking.
This Sunday, when upwards of 130 million people worldwide tune in to Super Bowl LX, the battle between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will likely be dwarfed by media coverage of a Puerto Rican rapper named Bad Bunny. Known to fans as “The King of Trap,” he is expected to use this global platform for more stupid personal attacks on President Donald J. Trump and, especially, on our brave Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
It’s not just on the streets of Minneapolis: If you live in a Canadian city, you are surrounded by undocumented migrants trying to avoid the authorities. They are hidden in plain sight: at work on virtually any construction site or renovation job in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal; in hospitals and elder-care facilities; in restaurant kitchens; and quite possibly in your house, cleaning and taking care of your kids.
The Globe and Mail whoring for the LPC and its Corporate pals.
Mass immigration aka Human Trafficking is good for them. They don’t give a damn about the damage its caused you and your family.
If we ever get a Trump the first thing to do is end media subsidies.

As public support wanes, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has become the target of nationwide protests. While many of these protests are peaceful and popular, they have also created an opening for aggressive activist networks with long histories of revolutionary politics. Some of these groups are moving beyond lawful dissent, with organizers and online channels increasingly promoting confrontation, disruption, and other unlawful actions against federal authorities.
