Here’s a bold prediction: Canada Post won’t pay back a dime of the $1-billion bailout it’s taking from taxpayers.
The federal government gave Canada Post up to $1 billion in “repayable funding” to “prevent insolvency.”

‘Pretendian’ or ‘victim’: Inside this would-be Ontario lawyer’s attempt to remake a life built on fraud
Before the headlines, Nadya Gill’s life was filled with promise.
Originally from the GTA, she played on Canada’s youth national soccer team. At 16, she entered university in the U.S. on athletic scholarships, where she excelled on the pitch and in the classroom and earned the first of five post-secondary degrees. A coach told a Connecticut TV station her competitive drive could easily lead her to becoming a lawyer, a doctor, or “a UN ambassador.”
She graduated from law school, where she won awards and worked summers at the Crown law office in Toronto. After passing the bar exam, she landed a dream articling position at a sports law firm. It allowed her to work remotely and play professional soccer in Norway.
Yes, Guns Are for Jews. Especially These Days
On October 7, 2023, Hamas viciously attacked the nation of Israel. Their attacks targeted some military bases, apparently, but also involved the senseless slaughter of innocent young people at a music festival and men, women, and children at kibbutzes.
Not all of them made it through unscathed, though. While the military fought back, as one would expect, a lot of civilian Israelis also used guns to fight back.
Doug Ford’s Bill 5 is now law in Ontario. Here’s what happens next
Now that Ontario’s controversial Bill 5 is law, all eyes are on what Premier Doug Ford does with the new powers it gives his government.
Bill 5, also called the Protecting Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, empowers the government (among other things) to create special economic zones, where cabinet can exempt companies or projects from having to comply with any provincial law, provincial regulation or municipal bylaw.
Ford pitches Bill 5 as a way of shoring up Ontario’s economy in the face of Donald Trump’s tariffs by speeding up major infrastructure and resource projects.
I expect a great deal of pushback despite Bill 5 being a good thing for our moribund province.
You Won’t Believe What the Media Is Saying About the Anti-ICE Riots
Okay, you probably will. In fact, I am sure you expected it.
By now you’ve seen footage of the anti-ICE rioting and violence going on in Los Angeles. But here’s some select footage anyway:

Despite the obvious violence and destruction, the media is once again taking a page out of the 2020 BLM riots playbook, and insisting that everything is peaceful.
‘Never use violence’: Camp Pendleton Marines could be deployed to LA protests as governor continues to push back
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — President Trump is deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles after two days of clashes between immigration authorities and demonstrators following several raids across the city, and the Secretary of Defense has put Camp Pendleton Marines on high alert to be deployed if needed

Carson Jerema: Carney ignores his own constitutional power to approve pipelines
Mark Carney isn’t interested in being prime minister of Canada. Sure, he may like the title and the presumed prestige that comes with it, as well as meetings with Donald Trump, but when it comes down to the authority the federal government possesses, he’d rather defer to the provinces. He doesn’t want to be the leader of the sovereign nation of Canada, he wants to be a project manager for B.C., Quebec and Ontario.
He will prove worse than Trudeau on energy.
Iran blasts Trump for ‘racist mentality’ and hostility to Muslims over travel ban
Tehran has denounced the US travel ban on Iranians and citizens of 11 other mostly Middle Eastern and African countries, saying Washington’s decision was a sign of a “racist mentality”.
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday reviving sweeping restrictions that echo the US president’s first-term travel ban, justified on national security grounds after a firebomb attack at a pro-Israel rally in Colorado.
Alireza Hashemi-Raja, the foreign ministry’s director general for the affairs of Iranians abroad, called the measure – which takes effect on 9 June – “a clear sign of the dominance of a supremacist and racist mentality among American policymakers”.
I call it good common sense.
Howard Anglin: Canada’s relationship with America will never be ‘over’
What does Mark Carney really think about Canada’s once and future relationship with the United States? More importantly, does it matter?
During the election, Carney drew applause from Official Canada when he declared: “the old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military security cooperation is over.” It went down so well, he repeated the line in his election night victory speech.
Pope Leo criticizes political nationalism and prays for communism, open borders …er … reconciliation and dialogue
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV criticized the surge of nationalist political movements in the world as he prayed Sunday for reconciliation and dialogue — a message in line with his pledges to make the Catholic Church a symbol of peace.
The pope celebrated Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square in front of tens of thousands faithful, and asked the Holy Spirit to “break down barriers and tear down the walls of indifference and hatred.”
“Where there is love, there is no room for prejudice, for ‘security’ zones separating us from our neighbors, for the exclusionary mindset that, tragically, we now see emerging also in political nationalisms,” the first American pontiff said.
Amy Hamm: FBI completely justified in targeting ‘gender-affirming’ doctors
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is asking the public for tips on hospitals or practitioners who are performing “gender-affirming” surgeries on minors. It’s illegal, and it’s mutilation, says the FBI.
Is the FBI fibbing about the law? To an extent.
The bureau’s announcement follows President Donald Trump’s Jan. 28 executive order, “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” which attempted to ban childhood medical transition by defunding any federally supported institution that carries out these procedures. The order was challenged in court, in an ongoing case called PFLAG v. Trump, and an injunction prevents its implementation.
‘It’s high spirits’: life aboard Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound flotilla
On board a 60ft UK-flagged yacht bound for Gaza, Greta Thunberg and her fellow crew members are preparing for the moment — perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow — when Israel confronts them in full view of the world.
“I would say it’s fairly calm, but high spirits. We are very happy to be actually going, to be sailing,” Thunberg, 22, told me in a voice message sent from the vessel.
The climate activist is one of 12 crew aboard the Madleen, which left Catania, Sicily, last week. They have set course for Gaza with supplies including baby formula, rice and nappies, and an aim of breaking the naval blockade imposed by Israel on the coastal strip and raising awareness of the plight of Palestinians.

The simple answer is ‘Yes.’
45 Arrested During L.A. ICE Raids as Leftists Violently Protest
Over 40 people were arrested during immigration raids and search warrant executions on Friday in downtown Los Angeles, California, amid standoffs with leftist protesters and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Trump Administration Sending National Guard to L.A. to Address Riots
The Trump administration revealed that it is sending the National Guard to Los Angeles to address the ongoing violent riots against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
In a post on X, Leavitt revealed that President Donald Trump had signed a Presidential Memorandum that deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen “to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.” Leavitt continued to point out that the Trump administration “has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior.”

Deranged Gavin Newsom calls threats to deploy US marines in California ‘deranged’
The California governor, Gavin Newsom, called the potential deployment of US marines in his state “deranged” after the secretary of defense threatened the use of such troops amid a promise to deploy the national guard after an immigration crackdown saw police use teargas on protesters.
“The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior,” Newsom wrote on X.
Earlier Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s controversial and hardline defense secretary, had raised the possibility of deploying US marines onto the streets of the Democrat-run state amid the protests that had erupted in the wake of Ice raids in the state.
Leftist rioters in California have buckets full of rocks & are spraying what I assume is gas/lighter fluid into empty glass beer bottles (molotov cocktails?).
This is terrorism, & unless it's stopped immediately it will only get worse

For some, it’s #MeToo vs. #HimToo at the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial
Outside the London, Ont., courthouse where five former world junior hockey players are on trial on sexual assault charges, supporters of the complainant — carrying signs reading, “I believe you E.M.” and “We Believe Survivors” — have been confronted by #HimToo movement backers with signs of their own: “5 careers ruined” and “E.M. cheated.”
