Imagine a neurological disease that changed your perceptions in subtle, damaging ways.
Stubbing your toe would bring pleasure. Rotten meat would taste delicious. Deadly cold would feel comfy.
Meanwhile, a gentle neck massage would make you feel sick, and fresh food would taste disgusting.
You wouldn’t last long with such a disease. But our society is facing something similar.
Leader of Liberals, who appear to have made a remarkable turnaround, has said old relationship with the US is over
At the beginning of the year, Canada’s Conservatives had a 25-point lead over the Liberal government, and their leader, Pierre Poilievre, looked certain to be the country’s next prime minister. But as the votes cast in Monday’s election have been counted, the story of the campaign has been confirmed: victory for the Liberals and their new leader, Mark Carney, who have extended their decade of rule by as much as another five years.
Former actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman, of Family Ties and Violet fame, said the election of President Trump may be the tipping point for the “woke mob mentality” that terrorize American culture.
Speaking with The Irish Times about the state of Hollywood and the downfall of cinema, Bateman discussed a book she had written about beauty standards and how it struck a chord with people who had been chasing plastic surgery.
Donald Trump is fully aware he provoked a political earthquake in Canada — just ask him.
On the day of Canada’s election, the U.S. president was quoted in an interview voicing detailed knowledge of the historic plot-twist he triggered.
“You know, until I came along, remember that the Conservative was leading by 25 points,” Trump told The Atlantic last week, in an interview published Monday.
Trump will find it much easier kicking a Globalist carpetbagger like Carney around.
Canada’s Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, is projected to win a federal election that played out against a tumultuous backdrop of President Donald Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.
It was not immediately clear whether the Liberals would lead a minority or majority government as votes continued to be counted early Tuesday. Either way, Carney will now have to figure out how to deal with Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on many Canadian goods — and his persistent talk of turning the country into a “51st state.”
OTTAWA, Ontario—In an astonishing come-from-behind victory, Canada’s Liberal Party narrowly won Monday’s election under its new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney.
As we went to press after midnight, it was still unclear whether Carney’s Liberals would win an outright majority or whether they would need to attempt to form a government through an alliance with minor left-wing parties. However, it was still a remarkable turnaround for the Liberals, who, at the beginning of the year, appeared doomed to defeat.
Eight out of 10 Americans surveyed in a fresh ABC News/Washington Post poll oppose President Donald Trump serving a constitutionally barred third term in office, one of several high-profile Trump goals that a majority of respondents rejected.
A joyful Filipino street festival ended in carnage Saturday night after a man driving an SUV rammed into a crowd, killing 11 people and injuring at least 20 more. The man arrested and charged with eight counts of murder has a history of mental illness. While many factors contributed to this avoidable tragedy, perhaps the greatest of them was Canada’s failure to embrace involuntary treatment and institutionalization.
WASHINGTON—President Trump is expected to soften the impact of his automotive tariffs, preventing duties on foreign-made cars from stacking on top of other tariffs he has imposed and easing some levies on foreign parts used to manufacture cars in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter.
The decision will mean that automakers paying Trump’s automotive tariffs won’t also be charged for other duties, such as those on steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the policy. The move would be retroactive, the people said, meaning that automakers could be reimbursed for such tariffs already paid. The 25% tariff on finished foreign-made cars went into effect early this month.
He’s Canada’s Most Successful Conservative Right Now — And He Is Disappointed in Pierre Poilievre
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is a canny politician, a throwback to a more ideologically flexible but no-bullshit archetype common in 20th-century, big-city American politics.
Ford’s shrewdest play may have been his most recent, when he called for a snap election earlier this year, and his Progressive Conservatives won decisively. Yet it’s how he went about pursuing victory that’s so instructive.
Jamil Jivani tears a strip off Doug Ford "And all his goons around him all the time, they wouldn't make anything better."
"He has taken the provincial Conservative Party and turned it into something hollow, unprincipled, something that doesn't solve problems."
"He's glad… https://t.co/bR6v06fiNZ

What exactly caused the massive power cuts that swept Spain, Portugal and parts of southern France?
That is the question on the lips of every energy expert in Europe – and theories abound.
Spanish authorities suggested they were investigating the possibility of a cyber attack on grid infrastructure, while some officials in Portugal initially said it was caused by a freak weather phenomenon before backtracking. Both say the exact cause is still unknown.
OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith didn’t immediately issue a statement when the networks called the federal election for Mark Carney’s Liberals at 10:15 PM EST, but it’s safe to say that not all is calm on the western front.
The Liberals’ fourth straight federal election win keeps Alberta and Ottawa on a collision course, raising the once unthinkable prospect of a referendum on the Prairie province’s separation from Canada.
In the 1950s, hysterical fears that America was being overrun by Communist subversives had a deeply chilling effect on freedom of speech. Anyone who was outed, or usually falsely accused, of harbouring Communist sympathies lost their jobs or were otherwise ostracised from public life. Everyone from government employees, including teachers and professors, to artists and journalists were treated with suspicion. Many were terrified of revealing the wrong views or saying the wrong thing. This crusade against the alleged Communist threat was led in large part by Republican senator Joseph McCarthy.
Donald Trump went on social media on Canada’s election day to endorse himself as the best leader for this country.
Canadians politely disagreed, handing victory to Mark Carney and the Liberals — a vote for stability amid the chaos Trump keeps wanting to wreak on Canada.
Perhaps Trump will want to let that sink in. Canadians don’t want to be the 51st state, as Trump argued again in that Truth Social post, and when they want to be led by a governor, they mean a former bank governor.
This is interesting. @fancypants_s https://t.co/MmiqvQIAtZ
