Carney government tight-lipped on MAID expansion for mental illness

Carney government tight-lipped on MAID expansion for mental illness

OTTAWA—Under pressure to stop the expansion of medical assistance in dying for mental illness alone, the Carney government says it won’t make a decision before a parliamentary review is complete.

“I think it would be premature for us to declare a position on the next steps when the group that we’ve actively tasked to consider this issue in depth is doing their work, I’d like to give them space to complete the study, and then we’ll be in a position to consider all the perspectives as we finalize our position,” Justice Minister Sean Fraser said.

US and Iran ‘close’ to deal to end war

US and Iran ‘close’ to deal to end war

The US and Iran were on Wednesday close to agreeing a deal that would end the war between the two countries and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House was awaiting the regime’s response to a one-page proposal that would also require Tehran to suspend its nuclear enrichment, while the US would agree to release billions in frozen Iranian assets.

On Wednesday, administration sources said the two sides were the “closest” they had been to an agreement since the war started on Feb 28.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Mark Carney, the European prime minister

Tasha Kheiriddin: Mark Carney, the European prime minister

If it’s Tuesday, this must be Belgium. If you’re old enough to remember this 1969 film, where a busload of hapless tourists barrel across Europe on an 18-day tour of nine cities, you probably voted Liberal in the past election, like most of Canada’s baby boomers. And you’re probably happy with the way things are going so far. But you may not have expected Prime Minister Mark Carney to rack up quite so much time across the pond.

My night under fire at the White House correspondents’ dinner

My night under fire at the White House correspondents’ dinner

Last Saturday evening, the American media class descended for its annual jamboree of back-slapping at the Washington Hilton. Protestors outside waved signs reading ‘Death to tyrants’ and ‘Death to all of them’.

The atmosphere inside was more jovial. Donald Trump was attending the dinner for the first time since becoming President, along with most of his cabinet and senior officials. We were expecting him to give the assembled media a good roasting – and some of us were looking forward to it.

Keeping Up With the Congresswoman

Keeping Up With the Congresswoman

Most of the media has framed the Minnesota fraud scandal in the Somali community as a simple story of greed. And although greed certainly played a role, the scandal revealed much more about how diverse communities navigate American status hierarchies. In fact, few episodes capture the underlying dynamic more clearly than the convergence of the aspirational lifestyles of the Somali perpetrators — who gravitated toward the symbols of prestige they saw modeled around them — and the public posture of figures like U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (MN‑D), who speak the language of redistribution while living a life of unmistakable privilege.

John Ivison: Carney’s flimsy economic claims get ripped apart by his new parliamentary budget officer

John Ivison: Carney’s flimsy economic claims get ripped apart by his new parliamentary budget officer

It must have been tempting for Prime Minister Mark Carney to appoint an absolute blockhead as the new parliamentary budget officer.

Instead, in Annette Ryan, he has installed a 30-year public service veteran with Finance Department experience who has probably seen it all when it comes to juggling the numbers and concealing errors.

Islam’s Turbocharged Takeover of Europe

Islam’s Turbocharged Takeover of Europe

The battle lines for the preservation of Western civilization were drawn long before the murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004. The double-dealing actions of many European leaders have been endlessly on display for all to see.

Now, both the US and Israel — in their quest to stop the indefatigable enemies of the West and maintain free trade, democracy, and military deterrence against these predators — may have found themselves thwarted. By whom? By their “allies,” no less: Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Carney wants us to hook up with these losers.

Michael Higgins: The arrogance of Chief Justice Richard Wagner

Michael Higgins: The arrogance of Chief Justice Richard Wagner

Richard Wagner, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, must recuse himself if there is to be a hearing of the federal government’s appeal in the Emergencies Act case, or risk poisoning the well of justice.

Wagner has shown such a prejudice toward the Freedom Convoy protesters as to raise questions about his impartiality. Questioning the impartiality of a judge, let alone the highest in the land, is a serious matter. But questions must be asked in light of inappropriate and impolitic comments made by Wagner in April 2022.

Florida AG Subpoenas SPLC Over Deceptive Fundraising, Hate Group ‘Informants’

Florida AG Subpoenas SPLC Over Deceptive Fundraising, Hate Group ‘Informants’

“If these allegations are true, there will be consequences,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier promised Monday, announcing he has launched a probe into the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) “alleged deceptive and unfair practices related to charitable solicitations and fundraising.”

“The SPLC raises millions in charitable donations every year, while allegedly paying members and leaders within the very groups it purports to fight,” Uthmeier wrote on X.com, linking to a press release. “SPLC appears to be running a deceptive organization that pays informants to manufacture racism on its behalf.”

Copenhagen Climate Cultists Cut Almost All Meat Out of Diet for Senior Citizens

Copenhagen Climate Cultists Cut Almost All Meat Out of Diet for Senior Citizens

The climate cult is a religion that pretends to be science. It has sinners and saints, heretics and adherents to the orthodoxy, and, of course, the Inquisition and at least metaphorical burning of witches.

Its more extreme advocates resort to violence and vandalism, but the establishment cultists become technocrats who use institutional power to punish the sinners.

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The majority of Canadian and American women under age 40 do not yet have children, signalling a broad shift in when and whether people are choosing to have families.

Both countries now face a deepening fertility crisis. For Canada, it’s stark, with the country hitting a record-low fertility rate of 1.25 children per woman in 2024, putting it on the ultra-low fertility list — below 1.30 — alongside Japan, Singapore and Spain.
