‘Nation-building projects’ the new ‘Liberal Party Slush Fund’

PM wants provinces to compete for federal approval of ‘nation-building projects’

There was cautious optimism in the air as provincial and territorial premiers began arriving in Saskatoon to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The first ministers are meeting on Monday, and Carney has said he wants to hear provincial ideas for “nation-building projects.” The premiers and other stakeholders joined Carney for a reception on Sunday night, and the tone ahead of the event seemed fairly optimistic.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith — who has been pushing for Ottawa to meet a number of her government’s conditions to move projects forward — met with Carney during the Sunday night event.

Suspect charged with multiple felonies in attack on Colorado rally for Israeli hostages

A man has been charged with multiple felonies after he allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices to attack a crowd of people who were raising awareness for Israeli hostages in Gaza, injuring eight.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is alleged to have shouted “Free Palestine” as he attacked the crowd on Sunday, in what the FBI is treating as an “act of terrorism”. Soliman was booked into Boulder county jail on Sunday and has a hearing scheduled for 1.30pm local time on Monday.

Officials said there was no indication that the attack was associated with any group. NBC reported Soliman was an Egyptian national, and the White House claimed Soliman was in the US without legal status.

Colorado is an open carry state.

Ottawa and Carney must get serious and listen to the West

If Prime Minister Mark Carney doesn’t listen to the West, it’s going to cost Canada.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe are demanding that Ottawa stop stomping on their provinces’ natural resource production.

Smith is telling Carney to scrap the “no more pipelines” law, Bill C-69, lift the cap on Alberta’s energy and cancel the looming ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles.

EU woke green rules are blocking Europe’s rearmament

By the time the environmental permits are signed off for a new TNT plant in Sweden at the end of this year, Russia will already be producing explosives at a new facility.

Swedish Ballistics (SweBal) is aiming to tap into Europe’s rush to rearm itself by opening what will be the EU’s second factory producing military-grade TNT, used in the production of artillery shells, landmines and grenades.

The firm hopes to produce 4,500 metric tonnes annually by the end of 2027, which will be enough for Europe to produce roughly 450,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition.

Now I understand why Carney wants to hitch Canada’s wagon to the EU. They think like he does.

THOMAS: Hopes of solving housing crisis fade as 817,000 immigrants arrive in Canada

It’s obvious the federal Liberals are not serious about solving Canada’s housing crisis.

Liberals embrace ‘governing-by-crisis’.

A crisis is a great way to get Canadians to pay attention to the Liberals’ policies and platforms. Once they have the attention of the electorate, they make massive promises to attack the ‘crisis’ with every weapon they can find, which usually is pissing away taxpayers’ dollars on ineffective programs.

The only thing Carney and his crony Mark Wiseman are interested in is turning Canada into a 3rd World Shithole state from which they will both profit handsomely.

The mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border

These guys had nothin to do with it according to WAPO.

MEXICO CITY — After years of confiscating rising amounts of fentanyl, the opioid that has fueled the most lethal drug epidemic in American history, U.S. officials are confronting a new and puzzling reality at the Mexican border.

Fentanyl seizures are plummeting.

The phenomenon has received little notice in Washington, where the Trump administration has made fentanyl-trafficking cartels a national-security priority. “Narcotics of all kinds are pouring across our borders,” said a White House statement in March, announcing stiff tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

Canadian diplomat says West Africa terror threat has grown since his capture

A Canadian diplomat who was held captive by al-Qaida terrorists in the Sahara Desert for 130 days says Canada’s promised boost to defence should include commitments to combatting the growing Islamic terrorism threat in Africa — a threat he says isn’t getting the attention it deserves.

Robert Fowler says it would take “a very large and serious effort to eradicate” the groups that have taken root in West Africa’s Sahel region — particularly Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali — and that U.S. military officials say are fighting to gain access to the western coast, which would increase their ability to attack North America.

“Canada” will not do anything to offend the LPC’s Muslim vote bloc. It’s a waste of time to even have this sort of conversation given Canada is not a serious nation.

Volkswagen to make ‘massive’ investment in US in bid to avoid tariffs

Volkswagen, Europe’s largest industrial group, has said it will make a “massive” investment in the US. The group, which includes Porsche, revealed it has been in direct talks with Donald Trump’s administration as it faces damaging tariffs.

Oliver Blume, who heads the group, said the talks were “constructive” and “fair”, in an interview that suggests the company, whose market capital is £44bn, is not willing to leave tariff negotiations to Brussels alone.

Speaking to Süddeutsche Zeitung, Blume said he had been to Washington himself and had a direct line to the US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, but had agreed to keep details of the talks confidential.

‘Liberals are engaging in bad faith politics’: Feminist Conservatives fight back

Stella Mizak, an 18-year-old business student, says she was shocked by what she heard while door-knocking with Conservative party candidates in April’s federal election. She heard it over and over from homeowners, she said: “I can’t believe you’re supporting a party that wants to take your rights away.”

It’s perplexing, she sighs: A woman being told she’s not a feminist because she’s seen to be “voting away my rights” by voting Conservative.

Doug Ford accused of ‘Trump-style politics’ with legislation that allows sweeping new powers over the education sector

Education Minister Paul Calandra will tighten control over Ontario’s school boards, have the power to rein in locally elected trustees and return community police officers to classrooms in sweeping new legislation critics dub a massive “power grab.”

Triggered in part by an outcry over a $45,000 art-shopping trip to Italy by Brantford-area Catholic trustees, Calandra said the proposed bill allows him to more quickly investigate or take over supervision of school boards that have “gone off the rails, either financially or on other matters that are important to students, parents and teachers.”

This may prove one of the few “Conservative” things Ford has done and of course the left is up in arms as this legislation threatens their access to the public teat. That automatically qualifies it as “Trumpian”.

Postcard From Brussels: My Day in the Capital of Declining Europe

Last week at an event at the European Parliament, an MEP asked me a question that I hear often: “Does JD Vance hate Europe?”

My guess is that he does not hate the Europe of tête de veau in a Rive Gauche brasserie in Paris, of Sunday mass at the Duomo in Milan, of Alpine lakes in Switzerland, or of paintings at the Alte Pinothek in Munich. What he hates is Brussels, or rather, “Brussels”—the symbol of official, bureaucratic Europe, and the dictatorship of managerial liberalism administered from there. He hates the Europe of decrees from the European Commission, of the Digital Services Act circumscribing the access of EU citizens to knowledge and information, and of the EU ruling class refusing to face the overwhelming problem of mass migration, and act to stop it.

Jill Biden: Lady Macbeth Redivivus?

Does Mrs. Biden lament her Lady Macbeth-like ambition in persuading her husband to try for another four years?

Allusions are stirring and rumors abound about Jill Biden, the former first lady. Aides to Joe Biden are being called to testify on Capitol Hill about accusations of a “cover-up” regarding the former president’s cognitive decline — who knew and when did they know it?

Michael Taube: Why Pierre Poilievre should not fire Jenni Byrne

Election night can be a glorious occasion for some political parties and governments, and a dismal outcome for others. It’s not unusual for the long knives to come out after a poor result. That’s what some people are suggesting is happening right now within the Conservative Party’s inner sanctum — and the main target is Jenni Byrne.

“Pressure is mounting on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to fire Jenni Byrne, his national campaign manager,” according to a May 22 CBC News piece, “whom critics hold responsible for the party’s election defeat last month.” Twelve Conservative sources reportedly spoke with Radio-Canada reporter Christian Noel and were “granted confidentiality to discuss internal party matters.”

Mohamed Sabry Soliman: What we know about the Muslim illegal immigrant accused in Colorado terror attack

The suspect accused in a “targeted terror attack” in Boulder, Colorado, where a pro-Israel group was advocating for Hamas to release the Israeli hostages, was in the United States illegally, Fox News has learned.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested and taken to the hospital with minor injuries after his alleged attack on the “Run for Their Lives” group that was gathering on Pearl Street, police said Sunday night.
