The Shifting Conversation Around Canada’s Opioid Crisis

The conversation we’re having about opioids in Canada is starkly different from one year ago.

Where Canadians were once squarely focused on health policies to reduce the high number of opioid deaths — especially last spring, amid British Columbia’s drug decriminalization rollback — our attention has lately shifted, from the people who use drugs to those who sell them.

That’s in large part because of President Trump.

Mr. Trump has said that Canadian criminals send “massive” amounts of illegal fentanyl into the United States, one of the pretexts for his earlier punitive tariff measures.

I am not inclined to believe the habitual liars of the Liberal party on any matter and will trust Sam Cooper’s investigations into Canada’s role in the fentanyl trade.

Will Mark Carney really reverse course on a decade of Liberal mismanagement?

From the beginning of his rapid and virtually unimpeded entry into Canada’s seat of power, Mark Carney’s reception has focused heavily upon the idea of Mark Carney. Indeed, there is something almost postmodern about the nature of his appeal: the average Canadian voter knows very little about his tenure with the central banks of Canada and the U.K. (or, for that matter, just what a central bank does). What mattered was his ability to reflect an image of sobriety and prudence—and his demeanour made for a particularly stark contrast with the pageantry of his immediate predecessor.

I’m being pursued because I’m white, claims British teacher wanted in Turkey for ‘child abuse’

A British teacher accused of sexually assaulting a child while teaching in Turkey claims she is being pursued because she is a “single white cat lady”.

Turkey has requested the extradition of Rebecca Richardson from Herefordshire after she was accused of hitting a child, aged four, with a spoon and sexually assaulting her in the lavatories at a school in Istanbul.

Ms Richardson has always denied the allegations. She and her lawyers insist no reliable evidence, including DNA, has ever been offered to back up the claims against her.

Conestoga College moves to four-day weeks as international recruitment drops 95 per cent

Conestoga College is moving to a four-day week at most of its facilities for the summer semester, with new initiatives to limit spending across its campuses.

A series of internal staff emails documenting the operational changes come as federal data shows the college was approved for just 410 new study permits for foreign students in the first three months of 2025.

That’s down 95 per cent compared to 2023, when 8,550 new study permits were approved over the same period.

Malpractice: ‘Parents’ Mag Boosts Dangerous Misnomer ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

Here’s the latest in an occasional series on how Parents magazine, a popular and ostensibly harmless outlet providing child-caring tips, smuggles in ultra-left-wing views inside the diaper bags, views that are harmful to the very children Parents is supposed to be helping. The latest offensive entry, “Medical Experts Continue to Support Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth — It can change and save lives,” was written by​ Wendy Wisner and posted Wednesday. Read it before it gets flushed down the memory hole as well!

Conservative insiders say they need to sell Pierre Poilievre’s ‘softer side’ to voters next time

OTTAWA — Nearly two weeks after a bitter election defeat, the Conservative party has turned its sights to its next chapter: rolling out tone shifts, a renewed media strategy, and the reintroduction of its leader to start courting voters who turned elsewhere at the ballot box.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives — for supporters have, at least publicly, united around him — are keen to point to the party’s expanded vote share, seat count and base as reasons not to depose their seatless leader and those central to his campaign.

But that refrain can’t last forever.

Toronto Star advice is the best advice.

NBC’s Pathetic Hit Piece on Kash Patel Will Make You Laugh Out Loud

FBI Director Kash Patel testified before the House and Senate this week, so it hardly seems shocking that the legacy media decided it was a good time to publish a hit piece on him. But, the piece is so pathetic and predictable. After nearly 80 days of desperately searching for dirt, the best they could come up with is that he runs meetings differently than the bureau chiefs before him.

Chinese ambassador insists China, Canada can move past ‘normal’ differences …

Following years of diplomatic and trade tensions, China’s ambassador to Canada, Wang Di, insists the two countries can move past what he characterizes as “normal” differences.

“For China and Canada to bring our relationship back onto the right track, we need to seek common ground while reserving differences in a constructive way,” Wang said through a translator in an exclusive broadcast interview with CTV’s Question Period, airing Sunday.

“China and Canada have a lot of differences, and this is very, very normal,” he also said.

ELDER: Canada as the 51st state would decimate the MAGA agenda

Mark Carney, the new prime minister of Canada, called the idea of Canada becoming America’s 51st state “crazy.” This assumes President Donald Trump was serious, as opposed to Trump taking a whack at former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In his acceptance speech, Carney said, “The Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country … if they succeed, they will destroy our way of life.”

Retired police officer arrested over ‘thought crime’ tweet

Tweet Police

A retired special constable was arrested and detained over a social media post warning about the threat of anti-Semitism in Britain, The Telegraph can reveal.

Julian Foulkes, from Gillingham in Kent, was handcuffed at his home by six officers from Kent Police – the force he had served for a decade – after challenging a supporter of pro-Palestinian marches on X.

Police body-worn camera footage captured officers scrutinising the 71-year-old’s collection of books by authors such as Douglas Murray, a Telegraph contributor, and issues of The Spectator, pointing to what they described as “very Brexity things”.

Barbara Kay: The credulously pro-terror members of Mark Carney’s caucus

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s election victory speech included a note of humility: “Over my long career, I have made many mistakes, and I will make more, but I commit to admitting them openly, to correcting them quickly, and always learning from them.” Yet it is too late to correct one of his big mistakes. Will he at least admit to and learn from it?

During the election campaign, 28 Liberal candidates (19 of them elected) signed onto a five-point anti-Israel Vote Palestine platform. Vote Palestine began as a BDS project, and quickly gathered steam after a trial run in the 2021 election. The platform contains demands — such as a two-way arms embargo against Israel, a full boycott of Israel-controlled territories and recognition of Palestine as a state — that do not reflect current Liberal policy. In total, 362 candidates signed on.
