With Parliament now back in business, pundits and politicos are focused on this session’s agenda. What will the government do about Trump and tariffs? How will Mark Carney perform in Question Period? When will Pierre Poilievre return to Parliament? And how will the NDP survive without party status?
But not much will happen on the Hill in the next few weeks: the PM will be busy hosting the G7 at Kananaskis, and the House will rise in late June. No, the real intrigue lies just over the horizon in the fall. The big question: can the Liberal minority morph into a majority by then, to secure four years of power and avoid tangling with the opposition?
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — A crowd was fired upon while overrunning a new aid-distribution site in the Gaza Strip set up by an Israeli and U.S.-backed foundation, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding 48 others, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, apparently confirming his death in a recent airstrike in Gaza. Speaking before parliament, Netanyahu included Sinwar in a list of Hamas leaders killed in Israeli strikes. He was the brother of Yahya Sinwar, one of the masterminds of the militant group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack, who was killed by Israeli forces last year.

They’re called AI “hallucinations” and the made-up citations generated by artificial intelligence chatbots have just landed a second Ontario lawyer this month in hot water.
The latest case involves Ontario Court Justice Joseph Kenkel rejecting written final arguments by defence lawyer Arvin Ross in an aggravated assault trial because he relied on a case that apparently doesn’t actually exist.

Bono says ‘the whole world is in awe’ of Canada, takes shots at Pierre Poilievre and Donald Trump
U2 frontman Bono had some kind words to say about Canada during a TV appearance on Global News on Monday.

He then shared some thoughts about the recent Canadian federal election, in which Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s Liberals defeated the Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
The decision to prosecute a man for burning the Quran is “tantamount to reintroducing a blasphemy law” in Britain, a court has been told.

Multiple sources told Global News the proposal, spearheaded as part of a patriotism push by Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism Graham McGregor, would have potentially violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and may have faced court challenges.

Kevin Bacon’s wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, ranted about “losing rights as a woman” under President Donald Trump while promoting a “Hands Off” protest.
“I’m finding myself pretty scared about a lot of things, scared about losing my rights as a woman, scares about losing my right to vote as a woman,” the Another World actress said in a video posted to social media.
All of Canada is waiting to see which of the Mark Carneys that we saw in the recent election campaign emerges as the new prime minister. The two choices are the long-standing climate-change advocate who was apparently the inspirer-in-chief of the Justin Trudeau government, and who persuaded that regime to bind itself with non-biodegradable hoops to the notion that climate was the greatest problem facing Canada. This, of course, is nonsense. Canada’s greatest problems are economic competitiveness and a declining comparative standard of living with steady net capital outflows, as well as the disintegration of the Confederation and the official self-degradation of the country.
Saudi women have bravely spoken out on the ‘hellish’ conditions inside the country’s prisons for ‘disobedient’ women, where inmates are sent by family members to be ‘rehabilitated’ through an alleged violent campaign of flogging, isolation and abuse.
Women have shared harrowing testimonies of being sent to the facilities as punishment for not ‘obeying’ sexual abuse at home, and then flogged or locked away in isolation until they ‘reconcile’ with their abusers.
The human rights group ALQST has documented wider cases of abuse and neglect; malnutrition; poor health and hygiene; mistreatment and brutality; excessive use of solitary confinement; and denigration.
Canada increasingly dependent on low-wage migrant workers, says report
The share of native-born Canadians in the labour force has dropped nearly 10 percentage points since 2006, according to a new Bank of Canada report documenting how the country’s economy is becoming increasingly reliant on low-wage migrant workers.
Donald Trump has threatened to strip California of “large-scale” federal funding after a transgender long jumper took first place in a state competition.
The US president accused Gavin Newsom, the California governor, of breaking the law and defying an executive order he issued early in his term barring biological men from participating in women’s sports.
He said he would personally intervene to stop the athlete, who won both the long jump and triple jumps at California’s Southern Section contest for under-19s on May 17, from competing in the state finals this weekend.
Anti-Japanese Museum in Canada Draws Criticism from Lawmakers
On May 27, 2025, Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Masahisa Sato raised concerns in the House of Councillors Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee over a museum in Canada run by a Chinese-Canadian organization. It was not the first time he had done so. The museum, he said, conspicuously promotes anti-Japanese narratives through exhibits shown to large numbers of local high school students. He first raised the issue at an April 17 committee session.
According to those familiar with the matter, the museum in question opened in June 2024 in Toronto, Ontario. Called the Asia Pacific Peace Museum, it was reportedly spearheaded by a local Chinese-Canadian organization called Alpha Education. Its exhibits include references prominently reflecting China’s viewpoint on the Nanjing Incident and comfort women.
Fact: Japan was a brutal aggressor that committed war crimes on a massive scale in China.
Their treatment of allied prisoners of war while inhuman pales in comparison to the Rape of Nanking and other grotesqueries.
China went communist and the west needed allies post WW II so Japan’s atrocities were largely swept under the rug.
But why does Toronto have to have a Museum dedicated to this war?
Has it become fashionable that all ethnic groups rekindle their historic blood-feuds here in the Magic Kingdom of Multiculturalism and Diversity?
