Prime Minister Mark Carney’s born-again Liberals may have thought they’d erased Justin Trudeau from their history, but, in what is likely a preview of more to come, his ghost still haunts and humiliates them.
The chains the Liberals forged during Trudeau’s life at the nation’s helm were rattled on Friday when U.S. President Donald Trump called a halt to trade negotiations, saying he had “just been informed” about his northern neighbour imposing an “egregious” digital services tax (DST).

It should be evident to Albertans that the province is on a collision course with the federal Liberal government, driven by a fundamental disagreement: will Alberta and Western Canada be allowed to fully develop its hydrocarbon endowment, or will that economic value be lost in pursuit of the climate policy known as “net zero”?
This collision is inevitable and imminent. Net zero is difficult to reconcile with growing, or even sustaining, existing hydrocarbon production in Canada.
Sometimes you get the impression the Liberals want Alberta gone.

Someone murdered Raymel Atkins in Louisville, Ky., in 2023. More than a year later, his mother and sister don’t know who did it; the police have not made an arrest in the case. The same is true for Tiffanie Floyd, killed in 2021. And Michael David, killed in 2017. And Cory Crowe, killed in 2014.
In fact, the Louisville police do not arrest anyone in roughly half of murder cases. I spoke to family members of a dozen victims. They all conveyed a similar sentiment: that the police had abandoned them and theirs. “The police don’t really care,” said Deondra Kimble, David’s aunt. “They’ve proven it to me.”
One that we peasants need know nothing about.
PS. I asked Grok to depict “High Culture” rephrased in multiple ways. It kept spittin out White People!
It has become something of a cliché to assert as an evident fact accepted resignedly, that the West is in decline. But it isn’t. The West is essentially the Americas, Central and Western Europe, Israel, Australasia, and Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, arguably the Philippines and beleaguered elements in South Africa. Obviously, some of these places are in better condition than others. A degenerating society is one that has lost the will to defend itself from both external and internal enemies and where belief in the value of the society or civilization and loyalty and pride in the country have eroded to the point where there is legitimate doubt that they can be sustained under any pressure. No part of the Western world has achieved such a condition.
Do you have an oujia board?
No? Well, I have one and think everyone should also have it. It is a board through which you communicate with the ghosts of the past, even in the deepest recesses of Hades.
The board’s name comes from a mixture of “oui” (yes in French) and “ja” (yes in German) but you could use any of the 6000 languages still in use in our shrinking Tower of Babel.
Tokok, you Morse a name on the board and the ghost you invite responds.
Grassroots NDP group calls on party faithful to redirect donations to local riding associations
A group of NDP organizers and former MPs are asking supporters to redirect donations from the central party to local riding associations, saying hundreds of ridings cannot get rebates on campaign expenses due to the New Democrats’ dismal 2025 federal election performance.
“This election, Canadians showed that the NDP feels out of reach as a viable political option,” the group — called Reclaim Canada’s NDP — said in a press release sent out Saturday afternoon.
Leftist journalists and celebrities have dialed up the crazy to 11.
The Nation’s Elie Mystal declared America to be the “bad guys” on the world stage and called for sanctions. ABC’s (now fired) senior national correspondent Terry Moran insulted presidential advisor Stephen Miller, as he labeled him a “world-class hater” who was the “brains behind Trumpism.”
This past month also saw former MSNBC host Joy Reid claim that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was rounding up “brown people” to put into his “concentration camp.”
Del Monte’s bankruptcy this week stunned many who grew up with its canned fruit cocktail, peas, and corn lining their family pantry. After 139 years, the company has filed for Chapter 11 protection in the United States. But this isn’t a canary-in-the-coalmine moment for the entire sector — it’s more a case study in how legacy brands can fall out of sync with modern market dynamics.
My deep dark secret summer delight – fruit cocktail in Jello
A throng of Hollywood celebrities, including Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels, Law & Order: Organized Crime star Chris Meloni, and actor John Leguizamo, many of them multi-millionaires made rich and famous thanks to the blessings afforded to them in America, crapped all over the country and sent somber social media sermons to their followers on Independence Day.
Amherstburg, ONT. — When he was 64, Mike Kessler retired from his job in the auto industry because he felt like his brain wasn’t working as it should. He kept forgetting things like what day it was and the word he was looking for.
His wife, Karen, pushed their doctor for a referral to a neurologist. It took a year to see the specialist and another eight months for testing, but finally, in 2021, they had an answer: Mike had vascular dementia and mild Alzheimer’s.
Their family doctor told them that for now, there was nothing more to be done.
WHAT? Didn’t they offer him MAID?
Asked last month whether he was planning to join Israel in attacking Iran, US President Donald Trump said “I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m going to do”.
He let the world believe he had agreed a two-week pause to allow Iran to resume negotiations. And then he bombed anyway.
A pattern is emerging: The most predictable thing about Trump is his unpredictability. He changes his mind. He contradicts himself. He is inconsistent.
“[Trump] has put together a highly centralised policy-making operation, arguably the most centralised, at least in the area of foreign policy, since Richard Nixon,” says Peter Trubowitz, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics.
