In a break with tradition, federal budgets will now be released in the fall instead of the spring starting this year.
The fall fiscal update, meanwhile, will now be tabled in the spring.
It’s a change that comes less than two weeks after the parliamentary budget officer estimated a sharp increase in the deficit to $68.5 billion.
The federal government has not released a budget since April 2024 under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
Yesterday was the day fixed by President Trump by which Hamas had to accept his plan to bring an end to the unpleasantness in Gaza… or else!
Everyone knows what they’re going to get under an NDP provincial government: new social spending, funding for identity-based causes, diversity mandates, etc. But this appears to be equally the case in Ontario, a province that did not vote for such things and has been led by the Progressive Conservatives for years. The reason probably has something to do with the bureaucrats running the show.
What do you expect from a government that kept Sir John A in a box for two years?
Premier Doug Ford says more booze may be stripped from LCBO shelves if a plan to shut down a Crown Royal bottling facility in southwestern Ontario goes forward.
“Who in their right mind, any business person with half a brain, would go after their largest customer in North America?” Ford asked during a news conference following the The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers Leadership Summit in Quebec City.

Why Christians Should Care about the Cultural Surrender of Britain
I don’t live on the south coast of England anymore, so—even at an imaginative level—the relentless thousands of fighting-age Muslim men arriving on the shores of Britain on boats each week does not appear to affect my life, my family, or my nation.
I do see it up-close in cities in the Midlands and the north, of course, where multiculturalism has simply been an open drawbridge for cultural Islamism, and where whole areas of such cities look like a completely different place to the Britain most of us grew up knowing.
For most of Britain’s population—even myself—it is remarkably easy to block it all out and pretend it’s not really happening. But it is happening. And it shows no signs of stopping happening anytime soon. Why do we pretend it’s not happening?
Via Rod Dreher’s Diary – There Is No Israel For Most Of Us
Since ChatGPT’s paradigm-shifting debut in November 2022, writers and thinkers of all stripes have touted the virtues and lamented the dangers of A.I. Such dangers include A.I.’s disastrous effect on education and on creativity, its potential to enable ordinary citizens to make weapons of mass destruction or to flood the world with deepfakes, its supposed tendency to reinforce stereotypes, its willingness to steal our intellectual property or its capacity to kill us off entirely.
Yet one danger of A.I. looms above all others — and we’re completely unprepared for it: the coming wave of A.I.-driven unemployment likely to hit within the next few years.
OTTAWA – Two years into the war in Gaza, the conflict continues to spread anger, frustration and pain across Canada, while Israelis and Palestinians fear the region will never exit the cycle of violence.
Hamas militants and affiliates attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 civilians and soldiers and taking roughly 240 people hostage. Israel responded by bombarding the Gaza Strip, killing more than 67,000 civilians and militants, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry.
Israel insists it is neutralizing threats that have been supported by Iran’s government, and is seeking the destruction of Hamas so it can no longer threaten Israel. Israel also argues the United Nations hasn’t done enough to tackle these threats.
Any attempt to portray Hamas’s purported acceptance of US President Donald J. Trump’s proposal to end the war in the Gaza Strip as a sign that either the Palestinian Authority (PA) or the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group is now interested in peace with Israel is misleading and baseless.
Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are not, and never were, interested in peace with Israel. The only peace they envision is one that would see Israel eliminated and replaced with an Islamist state, preferably, each with itself as the head.

A magic mushroom shop in the city’s downtown area has been targeted again after Toronto fire says crews were called there for reports of a fire early Monday.
The illegal magic mushroom dispensary called Shroomyz, located on Bloor Street near Brunswick Avenue, caught fire at around 5 a.m. after initial reports indicated someone had thrown “something fiery” into the store, a Toronto fire spokesperson said
The legacy Sunday shows appear to have taken a collective vow of omertà regarding coverage of what would have been treated as an immediate disqualifier had a Republican done something similar.
The hosts of these shows shut out any discussion of Democrat Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones as he fantasized about murdering a political opponent and his family in a series of text messages.

A young St. Marys, Ont., woman has been handed the keys to independence and stability thanks to a charity that’s planning to open the first of many tiny homes for people at risk of homelessness.
The home is 490 square feet, but for Paige Noel, 20, it’s a big step toward getting established, all while staying close to her family. The tiny home was erected in her mother’s yard, as the nearby house is already at capacity.
“I never imagined I’d be able to have my own place like this,” Noel said.
Her Mom wouldn’t take her in?
The Israeli Foreign Ministry (MFA) announced that not only did Greta Thunberg’s Hamas flotilla have disturbing terrorist sympathies, but its reason for refusing to accept mediation from other countries to deliver aid to Gaza was that there was less than a tenth of a truck‘s worth of aid across all of the dozens of ships in the flotilla.
FIFA is requiring Toronto’s government, as a World Cup host city, to adopt a “non-interference” policy toward human rights advocates – a group that apparently includes protesters – the Toronto Sun has learned.
A 27-page list of “sustainability and human rights tournament requirements,” released to the Sun after a freedom-of-information request, is dated June 2023. The document says “protection of human rights defenders,” as well as freedom of the press, “is essential to a successful and rights-respecting delivery of the competition.”
Ridiculous.
