Records show secret oaths signed to shield Liberals from embarrassment during vaccine procurement

Canada’s top public health officials, including Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam, were among dozens of federal managers required to sign secrecy pledges during the pandemic that barred them from disclosing information that could cause embarrassment to the Liberal cabinet, newly released documents reveal.

Access To Information records show that at least 29 managers across multiple departments — including Public Health, Foreign Affairs, Health, Industry, and National Defence — signed the confidential agreements.

‘Multi-parent’ families, like throuples, to be granted legal rights in Quebec

A recent court ruling in Quebec has granted multi-parental families in the province the same legal rights as any other unit.

A Quebec Superior Court judge ruled on Friday that limiting the legal affiliation of children to one or two parents is unconstitutional.

Lawyer Marc-André Landry, who represented one of the families involved in the case, explains the ruling does not apply to step-parents or other “modern” families that are formed after a child is born.

Nothing new under the sun really.

Gobsmacking DOGE Revelations on Watters Last Night and ‘Big Balls’ Speaks

I have to say that was one of the best hours I’ve ever had glued to the tube.

We watch Jesse Watters every night – he really is pretty entertaining – but we had no idea that the little secret assignment he’d alluded to when explaining his absence was going to make for such an informative, infuriating, and inspiring installment of his show.

Hey big spender Mark Carney, poised for economic and fiscal disaster

The Liberals won the federal election on Monday partly as a result of the perception that Prime Minister Mark Carney will move his government back to the political centre and be more responsible with taxpayer dollars. But in fact, according to his fiscal plan, he doesn’t think his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, was spending and borrowing enough.

To recap, the Trudeau government recorded 10 consecutive budget deficits, racked up $1.1-trillion in debt and recorded the six highest-spending years (per person, adjusted for inflation) in Canadian history from 2018 to 2023. Last fall, it projected large deficits (and $400-billion in additional debt) over the next four years, including a $42.2-billion deficit this fiscal year.

We Told People Not to Have Kids — Now We’re Surprised They Listened

For the better part of five decades, we told Americans — implicitly and explicitly — that children were a burden. We built a culture that prizes career over commitment, convenience over continuity, and freedom from ties over the joys of rootedness. We told women that motherhood was a trap, that marriage could wait (or be skipped entirely), and that the future would take care of itself. Now, with birthrates scraping historic lows, we act shocked. We clutch our pearls, roll out baby bonuses, and pretend this was all some mysterious accident of economics.

It wasn’t. It was a choice — repeated, reinforced, and rewarded at every level of modern society.

‘He loves us and he’s doing it’: Trump fans’ faith undimmed by first 100 days

In Trump they trust. While pundits and protesters have called it 100 days of hell, talk to Donald Trump’s most faithful supporters and you will hear them use words such as “amazing”, “fantastic” and “ecstatic” about his presidency.

The Trump base, that amorphous group that has long intrigued pollsters, remains rock solid in its support for the 78-year-old and quite ingenious in finding new ways to eulogise his leadership.

Interviews with 10 Trump fans at a campaign-style rally in Warren, Michigan, on Tuesday seemed to occupy a different planet from opinion polls that give him the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years.

I think the author is so sophisticated he no longer understands anything.

JAY GOLDBERG: Turning ‘elbows up’ into real policy results will be Carney’s challenge

With Canada’s 2025 election campaign now over, Canadians can breathe a sigh of relief that we no longer have to hear Mike Myers and Prime Minister Mark Carney give us our daily TV reminder to keep our “elbows up” against U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney largely rode on a wave of anti-Trump sentiment to earn a fourth consecutive Liberal term in government.

‘May Day’ Celebrated Worldwide as Death Toll from Communism Approaches 100 Million

May 1st was long ago appropriated by communism as its worldwide holiday and, unfortunately, the civilized world has yet to take it back. The latest murders by Marxist regimes bring the death toll from communism ever closer to 100 million, but there are still marches in celebration of the ideology everywhere, including American cities.

Weinstein accuser Miriam Haley storms out of courtroom in tears: ‘Don’t tell me I wasn’t raped by that f–king a–hole!’

A Harvey Weinstein accuser stormed out of a Manhattan courtroom in tears during a grilling by the fallen movie mogul’s lawyer Friday, forcing a judge to pause his sex crimes retrial for ten minutes.

Miriam “Mimi” Haley – during her fourth day on the witness stand – was only roughly 30 minutes into testimony Friday morning when aggressive questioning by the ex-Miramax honcho’s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean turned sour.
