America’s liberal media will pay for covering up Biden’s incapacity

The fact that so many ‘serious’ US journalists denied what was obvious to anyone explains why trust in their reporting has collapsed

There are many causes of the breakdown of trust in Western societies. The breakdown of trust in politicians is easy to map. The breakdown of trust in scientific expertise can be pinpointed to a very specific moment – the Covid years. But the breakdown of trust in the media has been a long time coming and is already having long-term consequences.

In the UK just 31 per cent of the public say that they trust the media. In the US it is 39 per cent. Into that gap of trust a lot of charlatans and know-nothings can now roam. But the old media – or at least much of the old media – only has itself to blame.

Finding a million more Conservative votes: ‘It’s about figuring out a way to speak to women’

Ben Woodfinden, the 31-year-old former director of communications for Pierre Poilievre, understands the challenges faced by younger Canadians. Ten years of a Liberal-led, no-growth government, Ben laments, “means they live in a country that doesn’t work for them anymore.” They want change.

And there’s a flip side, he cynically suggests: Some Canadians are content with the status quo, because it benefits them. They bought houses decades ago that are worth 20 times what they paid for them. It’s in their interest, he argues, to encourage unsustainable levels of immigrants to support existing social programs and to constrain investment in the infrastructure needed to re-energize the Canadian economy.

Carney must show he hates oil says Star

‘Carney has to pick a lane’: Advocates and opponents worry about mixed signals from Liberals on fossil fuels

OTTAWA — In the span of half a day this week, different members of the Liberal government — including Prime Minister Mark Carney — spoke in different ways about one of the most divisive political issues in Canada: fossil-fuel pipelines.

After his cabinet was sworn in on Tuesday, Carney expressed openness to new oil and gas infrastructure as part of his vision to turbocharge construction of major development projects, potentially including pipelines, as part of a plan to expand the economy and reduce Canada’s reliance on the United States in the midst of Donald Trump’s trade war.

“Black Fatigue” Goes Viral: Everyone Including Blacks Is Tired Of Ghetto Behavior

The progressive ideal is largely to blame for the monstrous creation that is ghetto culture. The idea that racial narcissism among blacks should not only be tolerated but celebrated has led to a surge in open animosity for societal rules and standards within the US. Far more than any other group, the black community makes up the largest share of physical crime according to their percentage of the population. This includes robbery, aggravated assault, and homicides.

For example, black Americans make up only 13% of the population but commit around 52% of all homicides according to FBI statistics. The recent case of Karmelo Anthony comes to mind, a black teen who admitted to stabbing a white teen and killing him because the white teen allegedly “pushed him” (which he argues was a threat that made deadly force justifiable).

Marijuana and the Mentally Ill

Legalization is pushing community mental health to the brink.

America’s ongoing marijuana-legalization experiment will have many consequences. That goes especially for the seriously mentally ill, a sliver of the adult population but overrepresented among the ranks of compulsive pot users. Treating schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is never easy; even when treatment is available, the seriously mentally ill often fail to comply. A schizophrenic who spends most of his days in a dark room smoking weed is not a clinically promising case.

GOLDSTEIN: ‘Elbows up’ was Liberal rhetoric while policy was ‘quietly fold’ on tariffs

As it turns out, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s election strategy of publicly talking tough about taking on U.S. President Donald Trump in his tariff/trade war, while practising a far more conciliatory approach behind the scenes, was hiding in plain sight all the time.

Ian Bremmer, president of New York-based Eurasia Group, a political risk analysis firm with close ties to Carney, accurately predicted this strategy in a March 26 column titled, “The end of the transatlantic relationship as we know it.”

Leo and the Modern Attila

He had hardly finished addressing the crowd in front of Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City that Robert Provost, as the newly minted Pope Leo XIV, was transformed into a blank face on which interest groups and lobbies of all kind could draw the image they would like him to become.

Since we are now used to a new kind of journalism, let’s call that the journalism of what might be, as opposed to what has actually happened. In it, projection, not to say fantasy, often replaces the reporting of facts.

Cory Morgan: Another Strike Will Be the Beginning of the End of Canada Post

Small businesses relying on shipping and receiving products have had a terrible year. In November 2024, a strike by Canada Post workers caused an estimated $1.6 billion in business disruptions. Then in January 2025, the on-again, off-again tariff war with the United States created costly havoc and instability within the private market, which continues today. Now, Canadian businesses are bracing for another blow as Canada Post workers threaten to leave the job again as soon as May 22.

“For Posterity’s Sake”: Why the Biden-Hur Tapes is a Virtual Racketeering Indictment

“For posterity’s sake.” Those words from President Joe Biden sum up the crushing impact of the leaked audiotapes from the interview between then-President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur. Not only did they remove any serious doubt over Biden committing the federal crimes charged against President Donald Trump, but they also constituted what is akin to a political racketeering indictment against much of the Washington establishment.

The interview from Oct. 8-9, 2023, has long been sought by Congress, but was kept under wraps by the government even as Biden campaigned for a second term.

GUNTER: Carney government continues Liberals’ contempt for democratic unaccountability

During the recent federal election campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his ministers authorized nearly $70 billion in federal spending without Parliamentary authorization. Given that the campaign was 37 days long, a man who had no seat in the Commons at the time and who had never received a vote from a single Canadian voter, authorized an average of $1.9 billion a day.

Clock is ticking in the hunt for Assad’s stash of chemical weapons

Abdul Hamid walks slowly in a black Adidas tracksuit, head bowed, through a dusty graveyard. The cemetery, ringed by the remains of bombed-out buildings, bears silent witness to what unfolded in Syria.

The 36-year-old tradesman stops, murmurs a prayer and begins pulling weeds from the earth around the sun-bleached gravestones. He points to them one by one: “My cousin, my wife Sana, both of my children — the twins — another cousin and his daughter, two more cousins and one of his sons, both of my brothers Yasser and Abdul Karim and their children.”

The list continues, an unrelenting rhythm of grief. Not a mass grave, but a mass death, all felled by a single, silent killer. On April 4, 2017, a sarin-laced rocket dropped from a Syrian air force jet into Khan Shaykhun, a sleepy town 34 miles south of Idlib.

Explaining the success of the federal Liberals

After the April 28 general election, the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) is back in power for a fourth term after coming just short of a majority, winning 170 of the 343 seats in the House of Commons. Considering that the LPC trailed the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) by over 20 points in the polls over the previous two years, its victory represented a remarkable political comeback.

This commentary is not a promotional blurb for the LPC, rather it seeks to identify the factors which enabled it to become one of the most successful parties in the democratic world. It is hard to identify another centrist party which has achieved such dominance and long-term success.
