There are lessons for Poilievre and Carney in U.K. byelection

Pierre Poilievre, leader of His Majesty’s loyal opposition, is visiting the King’s home turf this week, where he gave a keynote speech at Margaret Thatcher’s think tank of choice. The visit comes at a good time for Poilievre to open his ears as well as his mouth.

For the United Kingdom is deep into a period of political turmoil, one that is seeing the fragmentation of the country’s vote, with the mainstream and historically dominant Conservative and Labour parties ceding ground to insurgents from either extreme.

What we’ve lost: Stigma

It turns out that population-wide disdain for those who live to get high was a very good thing

Progressives were so preoccupied with eradicating stigmas that contain anti-social behaviour in Canadian society, they didn’t stop to think if they should. Well, they accomplished their goal: that natural containment field of shame that once stood between people and bad decisions is gone. Is your life better because of it? Probably not.

HILL: From proud nation to managed decline — the Canada I no longer recognize

Over a month ago, I decided to try writing a book. Other than hundreds of guest newspaper columns and myriad speeches on enumerable topics over the past forty years, I am not a writer. I have had no formal education to prepare me to undertake such a daunting task. Indeed, I only achieved a grade twelve diploma way back in 1970, largely due to the constant and unrelenting encouragement, and at times direct intervention, of my mother. Given this, you’d be forgiven for asking, why?

What could motivate someone like me to accept such a challenge?

JOHNSON: Breakdown of the world, and the new ‘caliphate political party contradiction’

Due to mass migration, we can expect a disordered democracy and a permanent security crisis on the horizon.

On February 28, a major military conflict erupted in the Middle East. The primary actors in this war are the United States (US) and Israel on one side, and the Islamic Republic of Iran (along with its regional proxies) on the other. This black swan event will have catastrophic cascading effects that Western powers do not seem to understand, especially because mass migration and the rise of caliphates in the West raise serious questions around the national interests, political process, and security. Even if a change of regime were possible, it would be hard to imagine it would result in a very pleasant liberal democratic progressive utopia when every other regime change has delivered an ISIS, Alqaeda, or Muslim Brotherhood-controlled hellscape.

Speculation Carney Will Appoint Floor-Crosser Ma As China Ambassador

TORONTO — A Chinese-language website named in federal documents at Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission — in connection with a disinformation campaign that targeted Conservative MP Kenny Chiu in the days before the 2021 federal election — has published an anonymous op-ed circulating speculation that Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing to appoint floor-crossing MP Michael Ma as Canada’s next ambassador to China.

Is opening Canada’s market to Chinese EVs a strategic necessity or a costly mistake?

During a January visit to Beijing, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a sharp cut to tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, opening the door to 49,000 imports a year and sparking a debate over trade, security and Canada’s auto future.

Brian Kingston, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, argues the decision risks Canada’s most important trade relationship and undermines domestic manufacturing. Heather Exner-Pirot, senior fellow and director of energy, natural resources and environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, counters that the tradeoff is justified to diversify export markets and support Canada’s agricultural and oil and gas sectors.

Drug use and overdoses run rampant in Canada’s public libraries

The Central Library at Hamilton, Ont., is home to six sprawling floors of literature and learning, with a mission statement that includes innovation, respect and inclusion. Though delivering on those values is becoming increasingly more challenging according to the library’s CEO.

“Ultimately, it’s been the drug consumption that has been really problematic and really disrupting our ability to be a public library,” says Hamilton Public Library CEO Paul Takala.

Since December, paramedics have been called to the Hamilton Central Library 105 times. Security have administered life saving naloxone to individuals who’ve been overdosing on 44 separate occasions.

China accused of using Buddhist monasteries in Canada for money laundering, intel operations

 Regular readers of LifeSiteNews, and in fact those who read most independent media, most likely are already aware that the People’s Republic of China, through its Communist Chinese Party’s (CCP) many arms, has been meddling in Canada’s elections, as well as democracy in general, for years.

What may not be as well known is that in Canada’s smallest province, the picturesque Prince Edward Island (PEI), the CCP has been accused of using Buddhist monasteries as money laundering fronts to the tune of half a billion dollars.

Hockey Loss Should Awaken Canada To Its Long-Running Anti-American Decline

In a healthy nation, Canada’s loss to the United States in the 2026 Olympic gold medal game would be only a disappointment. In Canada today, it feels like a verdict.

When a people that has systematically emptied politics, culture, and education of any serious aspiration to excellence discovers that even its last unquestioned superiority, hockey, no longer belongs to it, the sting is not merely athletic; it is spiritual. The game revealed what we have been at pains to avoid: Reality has returned, and it has no patience for our stubborn ideology.


Of course the US has its share of loons.

JOHNSON: A letter to Canadians, Christians, and the Crown

Mobbings, firings, Orwellian narrative control: we should neither treat humans nor the truth like this in an organized civilization.

Dissidents often thank me for having taken the time to read ideas, most obscure in careful detail, and more importantly, for treating those individuals as human beings. Some of them become great friends. Even if those ideas are ones I may disagree with or even reading thoughts amid upheaval or contention, I read each nation’s great persons, as much as their dissidents, with some level of care. Of course, facts matter too, even if it is uncomfortable, just as much as our humanity and the natural world. An important update for Canada, as a dissidence quickly passes the threshold into patriotism, the moral questions being confronted today will have heavy consequences across the whole of society.

A chance for Poilievre to flip the Trump script

When one of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative MPs, Jamil Jivani, travelled to Washington to meet with Trump administration officials, he chose to chastise Canadians for having an anti-American “hissy fit” in an interview with MAGA site Breitbart News.

It’s hard to imagine a more harmful piece of public relations for the Conservatives.

And it is a golden opportunity for Mr. Poilievre.


The “Hissy Fit” comment only upsets the Elbow people who somehow can’t see that in the LPC they support the very people who have made Canada “Poorer than Alabama”.

Sharan Kaur: Why moderates are fleeing the CPC, and what it says about Poilievre

The walls of Parliament shook this week with yet another floor-crossing of Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal caucus. This wasn’t just a procedural shift in the halls of Parliament, it is a stark symbol of a new, unsettling reality in Conservative politics.

While floor-crossing is a historical reality and, let’s be honest, Liberals have crossed to the Conservatives before, the difference here is the context. The toxic reaction surrounding this crossing exposes a genuine bottom of the barrel moment for the political discourse, particularly within the Conservative movement.


I do not think it honest to declare yourself a moderate and a conservative after a decade of the LPC’s corrosive rule.

How Canada became poorer than Alabama

Huntsville Alabama

In December, Tommy Battle’s dream came true. The five-term Mayor of Huntsville is Alabama to the bone, born in Birmingham and a graduate of the state university in Tuscaloosa, but for the past

18 years he’s tried to distance his city from the state’s unsavoury stereotypes.
Huntsville, in the north, is the home of the Saturn rocket program that took on the Soviet Union’s Sputnik. It houses the second-largest biotech research hub in the United States. And it has attracted high-end manufacturing investments such as Blue Origin’s rocket engine plant.

But Alabama tropes are hard to shake: The state is backward and full of bible thumpers and bigots – allegedly. When local companies try to hire from afar, Mayor Battle says recruits often hear the same responses when telling their spouses: “‘Huntsville?’ With one question mark. Then they say, ‘Alabama???’ With three question marks.”


Huntsville is now considered “UFO” central with start ups some suspect may be linked to alien tech.

Canadians are ready for Chinese-made autos, but experts note there are security risks

Weeks after Ottawa announced that it would allow a limited number of Chinese-made vehicles into the Canadian market, some have warned that the move puts data privacy at risk. But that might not be a significant turn-off for consumers who are in the market for a new car.

While roaming the Canadian International AutoShow on Friday, Dianne Dougall and Pat Shephard — who were scouting for a new EV to replace their Tesla — said that a Chinese-made EVs would “absolutely” interest them.

Privacy wouldn’t pose any more of a concern than any other connected vehicle, they said.


Given Carney’s policies will likely devastate domestic ICE vehicle manufacturing do you think it’s possible some Canadians may vandalize ChiCom EV’s? 

Gee I hope not for the sake of our Quisling 5th Columnists.

Canadians are ‘hitting a breaking point’ when it comes to the cost of insuring their vehicles

Imagine the insurance on this!

Alex Bourgeois is car shopping and mentally preparing to pay a whole lot more for auto insurance.

His 15-year-old daughter will soon begin driving lessons and they’ll need a second vehicle.

Mr. Bourgeois, a Toronto-based contractor, needs his truck for work, so he can’t add his daughter as an occasional driver to any new car he purchases – a strategy that can help lower insurance premiums for new drivers.
