Poilievre is reaching out to unsuccessful candidates for feedback, say Conservatives: ‘he’s doing a post-mortem himself’

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is reaching out to unsuccessful candidates from this year’s election to get their feedback and to gauge the level of support for him within rank-and-file party members ahead of the mandatory leadership review, say Conservatives.

“He’s doing a post-mortem himself,” said an unsuccessful candidate who only agreed to speak on a not-for-attribution basis because the conversation with their leader was private. “He wants to hear from everybody. It’s an individual check-in from him. He’s obviously trying to rally support, trying to figure who’s coming with him in the next election.”

The mountain fortress Israel must destroy to topple Iran’s nuclear programme

One key site remains unscathed, however: the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant. Located 20 miles from the ancient, central city of Qom, and about 100 miles south of Tehran, Fordow is one of two nuclear enrichment sites in the country. The other, in Natanz, was reportedly partially destroyed in the attacks.

The events of the past few days appear to have proved that Israel has near-total air superiority over Iran. Iranian armed forces have been powerless to counter the Israeli airstrikes that have destroyed critical buildings and wiped out swathes of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership.

At least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists have also been killed by the unilateral operation, codenamed Rising Lion, which appears aimed at decapitating the country’s nuclear programme.

Report: Israeli Car Bombs Take Out Iranian Nuclear Scientists

Multiple Iranian nuclear scientists were reportedly eliminated by car bombs. Israel has assassinated a staggering number of Iranian military leaders and scientists this week, but the car bomb rumors have yet to be confirmed.

Protesters march through downtown Toronto to call out corporate landlords

Won’t someone think of the cockroaches?

A group of Toronto advocates marched alongside a giant fake cockroach during a protest Saturday as they called on the city to provide more affordable housing and spoke out against corporate landlord practices.

Several people held large cockroach props with speech bubbles containing the names of some major corporate landlords in the city as they marched toward those companies’ offices in the Financial District.

I empathize with the tenants but they will find no succor under a the combined Carney-Chow regimes.

The LPC’s Mass-immigration policy for profit scam has exhausted affordable housing and will continue unabated while the communist Chow will assist in maintaining the housing shortage to stay in power. Manufacturing poverty is her business because it’s her vote bloc.

Is There Much Hope for Our Downtowns?

In the 1970s, many people said that suburbanization would spell the end of Canada’s downtowns.

But that didn’t happen. In cities big and small, business leaders rolled up their sleeves and went to work. “Downtown revitalization” was their rallying cry. The bright, upscale shopping mall was one of the big initiatives that kept Canadians commuting downtown through the 1980s and beyond.

But in 2025 there is a darker cloud hanging over Canada’s downtowns. It is so worrisome that the suburbanization threat of over 40 years ago looks rather tame.

Mark Carney’s first big test on the world stage

KANANASKIS, Alberta — In Canadian diplomatic circles, “Charlevoix” is shorthand for summit disaster. Avoiding a repeat of the 2018 summit that Donald Trump set ablaze is job one for Prime Minister Mark Carney this week as he hosts G7 leaders.

Carney came to power by campaigning openly against Trump’s belligerence. But now he has a direct line to the president, with whom he’s negotiating an economic and security deal.

Hanging out with Starmer is no measure of success.

Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants have ‘self deported’ under Trump, which has led to higher wages

While ICE arrests and deportations have grabbed headlines, President Trump is also running a separate but complementary “mass deportation” program — one that encourages aliens here unlawfully to go home voluntarily.

And if reports are correct, that plan is more successful than anyone could have imagined.

Based on government data, my organization, the Center for Immigration Studies, has conservatively estimated there are about 15.4 million illegal aliens in the United States, a 50% increase over the four tumultuous years of the Biden administration.

CHARLEBOIS: Summer is here, strawberries are, too … but so are the scams

When Canadian-grown fruits and vegetables reach the market — typically from June to October — prices in this category become much more stable.

Historically, during this window, price fluctuations are roughly half as volatile as they are during the rest of the year. The reason is straightforward: seasonal abundance and shorter supply chains anchored in domestic production.

Two-thirds of Canadians support 2% defence spending pledge as nearly half say 5% is too much

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced this week Canada will reach the NATO defence spending target of 2% of GDP this fiscal year, marking the first time since 1990 the country has hit this milestone. The move will cost roughly $20 billion more.

New data from the Angus Reid Institute shows Canadians largely back the plan to spend 2% of GDP on defence. About half (51%) say Canada should spend to this level, while 17% support spending even more — a figure that has doubled since March 2024 amid rising concerns over U.S. reliability.

Israeli strikes spark anti-regime sentiment across Iran

As Israel’s devastating attack on Iran’s nuclear sites — and the killing of scientists and top military personnel — began to unfold early this morning, UnHerd was able to speak to our contacts across the Islamic Republic. The dominant reaction was not anger but jubilation, and hope that the regime’s failure to respond in kind would hasten its demise.

Mohammad, 20, told us from Tehran: “This is our chance to rise up against them because they have shown themselves to be so weak. Our liberation is very close, and they do not have big enough security forces to suppress us.” He went on: “The generals and military officers are now so scared of being targeted by Israel that they won’t dare to come after us.”

The West’s Betrayal: From Fighting Terror To Embracing It

The United States has just given official approval for Syria’s new Islamist extremist jihadi regime, led by former Al-Qaeda and ISIS commanders, to integrate thousands of foreign jihadist fighters into the national army. Fighters who joined the jihad from China, Central Asia, Europe, and beyond—many of whom have already committed massacres, atrocities, and religious and sectarian cleansing on Syrian soil.

This isn’t counterterrorism. This is state-sponsored radicalisation with a U.S. stamp of approval.

Let the world remember who Abu Mohammad al-Jolani is…

‘We were forced to change in front of a man’

Eight nurses at the Darlington Memorial Hospital are suing their hospital trust for failing to provide a single-sex changing room. Thanks to the NHS’s transgender policies, the nurses were forced to change alongside a man who identifies as a woman. They claim that ‘Rose’ stared at them as they undressed, would linger for too long and, on one occasion, repeatedly asked a nurse, ‘Are you getting changed yet?’. Yet when the nurses raised concerns for their privacy, dignity and safety, they were chastised by HR for being insufficiently inclusive. Last year, they launched their legal case, supported by the Christian Legal Centre. Earlier this year, they established the Darlington Nursing Union to defend women’s rights in the workplace.
