A former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci has been indicted for the role he played in the cover-up of the origin of the COVID-19 virus.
In 2020, COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill as governments enforced harsh lockdowns, delivering devastating economic and social consequences to workers, families, healthcare facilities, and churchgoers.
Rather than pay down the federal government’s debt, Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a $25-billion sovereign wealth fund (SWF), the Canada Strong Fund, which will join with private interests to invest in nation-building projects. It could grow even larger by selling a “retail investment product” to any Canadians who for some reason want to hold shares in politically-directed projects like high-speed rail, mining critical minerals and expanding the Port of Churchill.
The US supreme court was hearing oral arguments on Wednesday over whether the Trump administration can strip the temporary protected status (TPS) of hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Haitians, under a program that has shielded them from deportation owing to safety concerns in their countries of origin.
People with TPS are given the permission to live and work in the US because the government has deemed their home countries to be unsafe because of war, political instability or natural disasters. In the past year, the Trump administration has attempted to cut the program for various countries, opening the door to the removal of hundreds of thousands of protected immigrants currently in the US.
The deadline of July 1 for the mandatory joint review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is fast approaching. United States (US) protectionism is leading the Western world down a more transactional path, one where old economic partnerships are being redefined. This shift is causing a great deal of anxiety for Canadians as the future of trade remains uncertain.
The feud that keeps on giving gave a little more this week when President Donald Trump’s longtime foe, Rosie O’Donnell, suggested that the latest assassination attempt on the president and his cabinet members was a hoax.
The famed comedienne shared her thoughts about the latest assassination attempt in a video on TikTok.
Brookfield Corporation has not filed a single lobbying communication report with the federal government since Mark Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister on March 14, 2025.
Brookfield Asset Management has never filed one. Not a single Monthly Communication Report in the entire history of the federal lobbying registry.

War has imposed a heavy cost on Iran’s economy: more than a million people out of work, soaring food prices and a prolonged internet shutdown that has slammed online businesses.
The question is how much more pain Iran’s leaders are willing to tolerate as they try to negotiate a favorable end to the war.
Talks between the U.S. and Iran have stalled. American officials are betting that Iran will soon crack because of the deepening economic crisis. Iran is betting the U.S. will crack first and end its blockade of Iranian ports to calm global markets and bring down American gasoline prices.
The Royal Canadian Mint says it has initiated a full review in response to allegations some of its gold comes from a region of Colombia where drug cartels control mines.
Mint spokesperson Deneen Perrin says as soon as the mint learned of the allegations raised by the New York Times newspaper, it “immediately and fully” suspended the refining of any material from the supply chain in question.
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal alien after Oregonian sanctuary politicians released him back into the local community after he killed two people in Deschutes County, Oregon while driving a semi-truck in 2025.
On November 24, 2025, Rajinder Kumar jackknifed his semi-truck and trailer, blocking both lanes of U.S. Highway 20. A Subaru Outback collided with the semi-truck, tragically killing both the driver, William Micah Carter, and passenger, Jennifer Lynn Lower. According to reporting, the couple had been married for just 16 days.

The Liberal government’s spring economic update lays the foundation for a potential solution to two of the Canadian military’s most vexing problems — the dearth of equipment and skilled personnel.
Absent from the fiscal plan, however, was a specific accounting of how the country managed to meet the NATO benchmark target of two per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product.
The economic update released Tuesday proposes $250 million over five years for skilled trades training under the umbrella of the Canadian Armed Forces.
No doubt this scam will require foreign language study guides costing 250 Million Dollars & designed by a Liberal crony.
When Margot went to renounce her US citizenship earlier this year, she wasn’t able to do it in the UK, her home of 30 years. The waiting list to renounce US citizenship at the London consulate is more than 14 months. It’s a similar story in Sydney and most major Canadian cities. Many European cities currently have six-month waiting lists.
So Margot found herself in the lobby of the consulate in Ghent, Belgium. One wall was covered by a picture of Boston Harbour, where she was born. The other had three portraits: Donald Trump, JD Vance and Marco Rubio, their faces glistening – to her mind, with sadistic triumph (the lighting may have been a factor). Momentarily, she felt caught in a vice: everything she loved about her nation; everything she hated. Then she went in, swore under oath that she knew what she was doing, wasn’t being coerced, and wasn’t renouncing her citizenship for the purposes of tax avoidance. The official’s tone was neutral, slightly bored.
Doug Ford’s poll numbers slump as government seems aimless
We are just over a month until we hit the eighth anniversary of Doug Ford being elected premier. He’s had some good times and some bad times over those eight years, and he’s surprised plenty of people by surviving as long as he has, especially after his first year.
If former FBI Director James Comey thought he was out of legal trouble, think again: he has just been indicted by the Justice Department. Details are limited, but this is happening, with Fox News reporting that it originates from his 2025 Instagram post, in which he seemingly called for the assassination of President Donald Trump, who avoided another incident at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday. Cole Allen, 31, attempted to storm the Washington Hilton ballroom with a shotgun and other weapons, aiming to target Trump and his top officials.
Prof. Frances Widdowson has reserved a special place for the University of Lethbridge in her “Halls of Shame” list — the places she says are the worst for free speech and academic freedom.
Her view may be coloured by the fact that for treading the halls of that academy last week she was handcuffed and hit with a $600 fine for trespassing.
UPDATE: Dr. Widdowson Speaks Out After Arrest: “Warning Sign of Growing Totalitarianism in Canada”
After being arrested at the University of Lethbridge and released from custody with what a $600 trespass ticket, Dr. Frances Widdowson called on Alberta Premier @ABDanielleSmith to… pic.twitter.com/v0uIc7qG1g— Mocha Bezirgan 🇨🇦 (@BezirganMocha) April 26, 2026
Suspect also attempted to stab police; victims in stable condition; counter-terror police lead investigation
We’ve just had a statement from the Metropolitan Police.
“At 11:16hrs on Wednesday 24 April, officers responded following reports of people stabbed in Highfield Avenue.
“Local officers and armed officers attended, alongside the London Ambulance Service.
“The suspect also attempted to stab police officers, and was Tasered before being arrested. No officers were injured.
DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
This is the footage captured by CCTV of the stabbing in Golders Green. It happens in a split second. No warning. No care in the world. The Muslim casually walks up to the visibly Jewish man, pulls out the knife, and just starts stabbing.
This is Islam. And… pic.twitter.com/RcC1fWnNhk

Earlier …. ‘Arson attack’ on memorial wall in Golders Green
Counter-terror police are investigating another arson attack in Golders Green, north London.
A memorial wall commemorating anti-regime protesters killed in Iran was targeted in the attack in the early hours of Monday morning.
The wall is outside a synagogue on Limes Avenue, in a largely Jewish area of north London. It follows another alleged arson attack that saw four Jewish community ambulances destroyed in Golders Green in late March.
