John Ivison: The first Carney spending numbers are out, and they’re as bad Trudeau’s
Politics is not a zero-sum game where one person’s win is automatically another’s loss. An economy is not a conserved system, so, in theory, it is possible that a government could reduce taxes, increase spending and balance budgets (if, for example, revenues rise).
But it is a theory that is as rare in real life as white peacocks.
Putin’s propaganda tsar finds way to brainwash toddlers
One of Russia’s most notorious propaganda agents is to launch a show on geopolitics for pre-school children that features animated images of President Putin and President Trump, as well as other world leaders.
Vladimir Solovyov, who has been sanctioned by Britain and the European Union for promoting disinformation that undermines Ukraine’s sovereignty, said the show, called Sandpit, would “instil patriotism from an early age” and teach Russian infants to “discuss geopolitics”.
Canada’s new military investment urgency will rival WWII, minister vows
The federal government will take “immediate and decisive action” to rebuild Canada’s military, Defence Minister David McGuinty told an audience of military contractors at a trade show in Ottawa Wednesday morning.
He described the government’s sense of urgency by citing the speed at which Canada built up its navy at the start of the Second World War. McGuinty also warned that countries around the world are adjusting quickly to a changing global threat environment.

ESPN race baiter Chiney Ogwumike in humiliating U-turn after WNBA racism probe failed to prove Caitlin Clark fans abused Angel Reese
ESPN broadcaster Chiney Ogwumike has made a humiliating U-turn after the WNBA found no evidence of racism at the game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky earlier this month.
The league announced on Tuesday night that it could not substantiate claims that racist fan behavior took place during the game in Indianapolis on May 17.
WTF?

The New Diversity! Massa Chow To Segregate Homeless Blacks!
‘Black-mandated’ homeless shelter on way, City Hall confirms
Toronto officials are taking applications until Friday for city council’s new “Black-mandated” shelter, where everyone from employees to the homeless could be excluded on the basis of race.
City Hall has also decreed that experience in running a shelter is not a requirement for those submitting applications.
What a shithole.
Trump Tariffs Ruled Illegal by Federal Judicial Panel
The U.S. Court of International Trade said the president had overstepped his authority in imposing his “reciprocal” tariffs globally, as well as levies on Canada and Mexico.
A panel of federal judges on Wednesday blocked President Trump from imposing some of his steepest tariffs on China and other U.S. trading partners, finding that federal law did not grant him “unbounded authority” to tax imports from nearly every country around the world.
The ruling, by the U.S. Court of International Trade, delivered an early yet significant setback to Mr. Trump, undercutting his primary leverage as he looks to pressure other nations into striking trade deals more beneficial to the United States.
Appeals are being filed, Judges are not elected President.

King Charles’s visit to Canada was a show of weakness, not strength
Ever since Donald Trump began issuing threats about absorbing Canada, Canadians have been unusually rattled and resolute. In our hour of peril, we thought leaders from around the world would stand up for our country – and especially, King Charles III.
Why Charles? It’s not only because he is Canada’s sovereign, which has certain obligations. It’s that Mr. Trump admires him. Had Charles uttered something definitive in response to Mr. Trump’s rhetoric, that might have deterred the President. The King did not.
WARMINGTON: A near pro-Hamas riot at Casa Loma results in charges
When Jewish Torontonians are forced to face Nazi salutes and antisemitic taunts, the city takes on the appearance of having fallen prey to Hamas sympathizers.
What happened outside of Casa Loma, at Davenport and Spadina Rds., Tuesday night was ugly and leaves a stench on Toronto.
A man dressed as a woman wearing pink ears & a dog collar around his neck was arrested by Toronto Police as he attempted to globalize the intifada in front of Casa Loma.
The "Resistance" will be quite pleased with this one. pic.twitter.com/lCSDvUJJeT

Douglas Murray Is Too Worried About Decorum To Say What Needs To Be Said
I remember a couple of decades ago encountering an assessment of Ann Coulter by a prominent conservative pundit who summed up her contribution to the conservative movement at that time as a net loss. This opinion apparently stemmed from a distaste for Coulter’s style, which quite a few on the right found sufficiently abrasive as to consider it damaging to the cause.
I suppose a person who takes on problems with a sledgehammer is a bit of an irritant to those who’d prefer a softer approach. A blunt, no-holds-barred style of public discourse, when combined with a keen intelligence and massive amounts of research, does increase the unfortunate likelihood of change to the status quo.
America’s Jihad Martyr Cult
America used to honor martyrs who died to save lives.
Men like Sgt. First Class Alwyn Cashe, who ran into a burning vehicle to rescue his fellow soldiers—and died doing it. Or Pat Tillman, who left an NFL career to fight for his country and never came home.
Now we glorify those who die to take lives.
A Poilievre insider on the Conservative message
Here’s Ben Woodfinden, who had a senior role in the extraordinarily successful Conservative campaign. Wait a minute — successful? Sure, depending on how you count it. The Conservatives increased their seat count by 24, more than any other party (easy enough since only the Liberals also increased their seat count.) They won their largest share of the popular vote since Brian Mulroney’s 1988 Progressive Conservatives, the largest vote share since the founding of the current, post-2003 Conservative Party of Canada, and a larger popular-vote share than Stephen Harper or Justin Trudeau ever won in three election victories each, including their majority governments.
Dr. Doolittle world: Democrats spend $20 million to learn to ‘grunt and squeak and squawk’ to ordinary American voters
Democrats used to be the party of ordinary American voters, the working class, and the blue-collar crowd. Now, though, as Democrat policies become an increasingly unhinged amalgam of economic and social Marxism, normal Americans are so mysterious to them that Democrats are investing big bucks to learn how to talk to Americans…just as an anthropologist might learn how to use sign language to speak with an ape.
