Two unpleasant surprises struck me as I learned the details of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s oversized, largely recycled Liberal cabinet.
One, political correctness has crept ahead again with the rebranding of the ministry of Canadian Heritage to Canadian Identity and Culture. And two, the minister is professional protester Steven Guilbeault.
Bruce Springsteen and President Donald Trump’s feud hit a new high on Wednesday after the commander-in-chief clapped back with a fake video targeting the rock icon — following Springsteen’s stinging insult on stage.
The clash reignited last week when Springsteen, 75, slammed Trump during his concert in Manchester, England, calling him an ‘unfit president’ and slamming his administration as ‘corrupt, incompetent and treasonous.’
Trump, 78, fired back with a scorched-earth Truth Social post, calling the musician ‘a dried out prune of a rocker’ and ‘a pushy, obnoxious JERK.’

It was the best of budgets, it was the worst of budgets, it was the age of restraint, it was the age of profligacy, it was the epoch of the legislature, it was the epoch of the executive, it was the season of open debate, it was the season of closed doors, it was the spring of Canada, it was the winter of America. Or possibly the other way around.
Trump makes South African president squirm by playing ‘white genocide’ video montage during astonishing Oval Office moment
CNN just called Trump showing the president of South Africa evidence of leaders calling for a White genocide and stealing their land an “ambush” of “debunked conspiracy theories”
Trump literally brought all the evidence and played it.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says she’ll relay Canada’s “serious concerns” to Israel’s ambassador after members of the Israeli army fired shots near a diplomatic delegation, which included Canadians, in the West Bank on Wednesday.
In a social media post the new minister confirmed four Canadian personnel were part of a tour in the city of Jenin when members of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) fired in their vicinity. Anand’s office later that two were Canadian and two were local staff.

Who wants a state ruled by Hamas, dedicated to committing genocide against its neighbour and living in a permanent state of war? Judging from their joint statement this week, the governments of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada want to see that exact outcome.
Those three governments say they are in favor of “ending Hamas’ control of Gaza,” but by demanding Israel unilaterally end its military operation to defeat Hamas, they prove that is a lie.
To me it illustrates the corruption at the Liberal party’s core. Siding with Hamas is despicable.
Our streets will be even less safe now that the Liberal government has given official approval to the Islamist’s goals.
“They did such a disservice to Joe Biden and to the country. The family as well. I don’t understand how you could see him in the condition he’s in and think, ‘Yeah, you oughta go [run for president again].’ To do that to someone you love?”
This is the verdict of President Obama’s long-time adviser David Axelrod in Original Sin, the new Biden tell-all by the journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on the inner circle that kept Biden in the race for a second term even when the president’s own cabinet was raising alarm about his mental acuity.
Mark Carney isn’t getting much of a honeymoon as a new prime minister.
It’s been a bit of a bumpy ride since Carney swore in his new cabinet just a week ago, which featured some surprising new ministers, as well as some conspicuous absences, such as Nate Erskine-Smith, who pronounced himself disrespected.
Others kicked out of Carney’s pre-election cabinet, such as Bill Blair and Ali Ehsassi, have been less public with any disappointment they may be feeling, but there’s no question that this particular shuffle has given the prime minister’s team a morale issue to handle right off the bat.
Iran has some of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. The average cost of electricity in the United States per kilowatt-hour is $0.181.
In Iran it’s $0.004/kWh.
A country where electricity is vastly cheaper than America isn’t looking to lower power costs.
Canada’s total government debt has grown substantially since 2014 and has outpaced nearly every other advanced country’s around the world, according to a new study from the Fraser Institute.
The study, “The Deterioration of Canada’s Finances Internationally” released May 15, compared Canada’s finances during the last 10 years to that of 40 other advanced countries internationally, including G7 countries. The authors found that Canada experienced one of the largest increases in government size over the last decade and now has one of the highest debt burdens of any advanced economy country.
This is how Canada is being run under the LPC.
Many a sigh has been heaved by bosses at an underling who has caused irritation. Well, now a judge has warned that expressing that frustration can legally be considered harassment.
Using “non-verbal” expressions of disappointment or irritation can breach equality laws, an employment tribunal judge has ruled in a case involving a software engineer who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
A group known as “financial landlords” are driving up the cost of rental housing in the city, worsening affordability, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Waterloo.
Financial firms, including private equity, asset managers, and real estate investment trusts (REITs), have been snapping up rental housing stock in Toronto for decades and according to the study, these groups charge monthly rents that are 44 per cent higher than the average neighbourhood price in Canada’s largest city. This represents about $670 more on average per month, according to the researchers.
Until the Feds shut the immigration floodgates this will only get worse. And worse is what they want.
You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn’t like a story angle. They’ll cry “no evidence,” and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence. It’s their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden’s laptop.
On the PBS News Hour on May 19, the term was “unfounded.” Republicans are “pouncing” on the news that Joe Biden has an aggressive case of prostate cancer. PBS anchor Amna Nawaz lamented: “Donald Trump Jr. has posted online, claiming that the diagnosis here was part of a wider cover-up around Mr. Biden’s health. He’s also repeating unfounded claims that Biden clearly had dementia.”
OTTAWA – Former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s recent departure from politics will net him over $8 million across two pensions, plus a large severance cheque.
That’s according to calculations made public Wednesday by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, who released a chart of estimated pension and severance payouts to departing MPs.
