A federal income tax cut pitched by Prime Minister Mark Carney as a major affordability measure will save low-income Canadians roughly $11 a year, senators heard this week, despite the measure carrying a $5.8 billion annual cost.

The Lie Of Third-World Assimilation Is Finally Dead
Recently, the Trump administration announced that it had not only paused processing all immigration applications from Afghanistan, but also halted immigration applications of people from 19 countries subject to travel restrictions earlier this year. Officials are also seeking to remove legal immigrants who were born in countries the White House deemed “high risk.”
Cancel Net Zero: Wind Turbines Cause Ocean Heating
Your correspondent’s work is done. Offshore wind farms cause ocean heating, with localised surface sea temperatures rising by a persistent 0.3°C-0.4°C and interannual variability up to 1°C. This is according to ground-breaking calculations made by a group of American scientists and recently published by Science. Cascading effects rippling through eco-systems not only affect sea and atmospheric temperatures but reshape the upper ocean by destabilising marine food supplies and affecting plankton and larval growth. Disruption of the Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool, a key subsurface water mass supporting regional fisheries and ecosystems, can be affected. So no more ghastly inefficient wind turbines then – if similar fears arose about hydrocarbon extraction, the operation would be shut down quicker than you could say Christopher Gary Packham.
From Exception to Routine: Why Canada’s State-Assisted Suicide Regime Demands a Human-Rights Review
OTTAWA — Canada’s state-assisted suicide program, called MAiD, was sold by the Liberal government as a “stringently limited, carefully monitored system,” a rare option of last resort for people at the very end of life. New data from Health Canada show that in 2024, 16,499 Canadians died by MAiD — 5.1 percent of all deaths in the country.
Does it not follow logically, from these data, that Ottawa’s original framework has, cloaked in the rhetoric of progressively humane ideals, insidiously crept into something far more sinister than what Supreme Court justices, in their wisdom, affirmed in a society-altering Charter of Rights ruling in 2015?
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s blubfest is a sorrowful sight
There is nothing brave or boundary-breaking about the Wicked: For Good stars’ relentless emoting.
Laurel and Hardy. Morecambe and Wise. Many showbiz double acts have been extremely fond of each other, to the extent that, like these pairs, they would often be shown onscreen sharing a bed. But surely no showbiz duo has ever demonstrated as much of a mutual tendresse as Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the stars of the Wicked film franchise.

Iranian Matchmaking Platform Lets Parents Sign Up Girls as Young as 13 for Marriage
A 13-year-old girl in the Islamic Republic of Iran is getting a bit long in the tooth for getting married, and now there is an app for that. Iran International reported last Sunday that “an investigation by the reformist daily Shargh found that a licensed Iranian matchmaking platform lets parents sign up children as young as 13 for marriage, with no age filters or meaningful safeguards in place.” Those who are familiar with the life of Muhammad as he is depicted in traditional Islamic sources, and with Islamic law, will find it odd that the matchmaking site sets the age that high.
PM Carney Breaks Ethics
Conservative Member of Parliament John Brassard states the obvious, pointing to the Brookfield Elephant in the room, “No one should be naive in thinking that Carney left a $1 Trillion company, making millions of dollars in both salary and deferred compensation, for some virtuous reason, to make $400,000 as the Prime Minister, to save us from ourselves”
Jamie Sarkonak: Alberta’s gun-grab resistance is part of a bigger Canadian tradition
Once upon a time, there was a provincial justice minister who abhorred a new, far-more-expensive-than-originally-quoted federal gun program that infringed upon the lives of private citizens. So, he decided not to enforce any of it.
I’m not referring to Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amery and his move against federal gun seizures on Wednesday, which signalled to all provincial entities that they should not participate in the buyback program. This is about a group of justice ministers in the early 2000s who refused to play ball when it came to the federal long-gun registry.
Crying woman begged ‘I have said no, please stop’ to asylum seeker living in migrant hotel ‘as he raped her’,
A young woman was heard begging ‘please stop’ to an asylum seeker in a secret recording as he ‘raped her’, a jury has heard.
Distressing audio clips which were secretly recorded by the alleged victim were played to the jury in a rape trial.
Chret Callender, 28, drunkenly forced himself onto the young woman after he turned up at her home following a night out on June 14, Bournemouth Crown Court heard.
When Biological Reality Becomes a Crime: Swiss Man Imprisoned Over Facebook Post
A Swiss wind instrument repairman is serving a ten-day jail sentence after refusing to pay a fine imposed for a comment he made on Facebook about biological sex. Emanuel Brünisholz, from Burgdorf in the canton of Bern, responded to a December 2022 post by Swiss National Councillor Andreas Glarner, writing: “If you excavate LGBTQI people after 200 years, you will only find men and women among the skeletons; everything else is a mental illness that was fostered by the curriculum!”
AUBUT: How Canada broke its own economy
Economically, how did Canada get to where it is, where investors either sit on what money they have left or have fled to friendlier countries, leaving behind a stagnant economy and an ever more expensive welfare state? The answer lies in the long arc of Canada’s political economy from Confederation to the present. It is a story that began with nation builders who understood the link between sovereignty, growth, and disciplined ambition, then shifted toward a governing class that mistook ideology for insight and lost sight of the limits of its own knowledge.
Did Mark Carney give away the Liberals’ advantage on climate change?
Whether he intended to or not, Prime Minister Mark Carney cast aside a tenet of the Liberals’ brand last Thursday when he signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Alberta that jeopardizes the Grits’ work addressing climate change.
For more than two decades, the Liberal Party of Canada told voters that it was the party that not only cared about climate change but was best able to address it. Election after election, from Jean Chrétien’s climate pivot in 2002 with the ratifying of the Kyoto accord, to Stéphane Dion’s “Green Shift,” to Justin Trudeau’s pan-Canadian framework on “Clean Growth and Climate Change,” to Carney’s platform, which mentioned the threat of climate change 27 times, the Liberal party told Canadians that the future of the planet depended on strong action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and it pledged to do that while strengthening the economy through clean energy investments.
Accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr.’s face unmasked for first time
Accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr.’s face was revealed for the first time since he was busted for allegedly planting explosive devices outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
Cole’s mother shared the smiling picture of him in a blue dress shirt and tie on Instagram for National Son’s Day in September 2024 — more than three years after the alleged attempted bombing.

Adam Pankratz: UNDRIP is strangling Canada’s economy
The Edmonton-Ottawa memorandum of understanding will be meaningless if First Nations are given a veto, even in areas they don’t legally control
If there is one takeaway from the recent memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the federal and Alberta governments on a potential new oil pipeline to the West Coast, it’s that Canada needs to abandon the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and return to our own framework for reconciliation: Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982
