No major federal party supports developing Canadian nuclear weapons, according to a Ukrainian Canadian Congress survey.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the group had proposed building an independent nuclear deterrent as a safeguard against threats from Russia and future instability in the United States.
“Russia presents a serious and growing threat to Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic and to our NATO allies in Europe,” the UCC Survey Of Party Leaders stated.
OTTAWA – It’s a Monday evening in an industrial building just south of Edmonton. Pierre Poilievre is on stage, surrounded by a massive crowd of supporters.
He’s been talking for nearly an hour and his speech is hitting some of his biggest applause lines.
“What binds us together is the Canadian promise that anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, that if you work hard, you can have a great life in a beautiful home on a safe street under our proud flag. That is the promise that I hold out as hope to those who are on the brink of giving up,” he says.
At the airport, the staff now offers comfort dogs, gorgeous Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds available for petting and holding. The idea is to comfort scared kids, delight passersby, and generally lift up the space. Yes, that’s exactly what dogs do.
What a wonderful idea. However, not everyone is happy about our love of dogs.
Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel detailed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) exposed rampant federal spending tied to certain left-leaning NGOs, which he described as potential fronts for “borderline criminal activity.”
Thiel, founding partner of the venture capital firm Founders Fund, made the explosive claims during an interview with his Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale.
“I think there were scams. I think the nonprofit stuff is out of control. It’s sort of like virtue signaling is a sign that you’re doing something evil,” Thiel told Lonsdale on his American Optimist podcast. “So much of this left-wing philanthropy nonprofit world was just a cover for borderline criminal activity.”
NGO’s are a scam, always ask why they need “CEO’s and why are they paid so well.

WHITBY, ONT. — On this week’s Ivison video , regular guest Eugene Lang referred to “the trifecta — or what Van Morrison would call The Great Deception.”
Lang, an experienced Liberal operative, was talking about the tendency of governments to promise to simultaneously reduce taxes, increase spending and balance budgets.
“This kind of thing has never been achieved by any federal government,” he said. “It’s probably not advisable in any context, especially not the current context, where the prospects are that the Canadian economy is probably going to go into a recession, where the tax revenues will go down and automatic stabilizer expenditures on things like employment insurance are destined to go up.”
Yet, that’s exactly what the Liberal policy platform promises to do.
This past week, The Atlantic ran an excellent, helpful, and important piece by David Zweig, excerpted from his forthcoming book An Abundance of Caution, which is, at least superficially, about the coronavirus pandemic and the school closures it prompted. Zweig denies that it is about the pandemic specifically, saying that it is, rather, about “the failure of the expert class.” Whatever the case, Zweig is unsparing in his criticism …
The persecution of Nigeria’s Christians is medieval in its horror. Villages are surrounded in the dead of night by bandits who rape and kill the inhabitants. No one is spared: women and children are among those butchered.
The Makurdi Diocese, in Nigeria’s Middle Belt Benue state, has been hit badly by this savage violence. In 2024, 549 locals in this diocese alone were murdered and dozens more kidnapped. Over 3,700 people in Makurdi have been killed since 2015. Villages have been effectively wiped off the map. Over a million Nigerians, terrified of what might await them, have chosen instead to live in Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camps.
HORRIFYING: 51 Christians brutally slaughtered during Palm Sunday celebrations at a church in Nigeria.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford seems to be a happy camper these days. After donning his Captain Canada cape to fight Donald Trump on tariffs, in February he won a third straight majority victory. And now he and his campaign manager have been lecturing federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on how to run his election campaign, arguing he should focus more on Trump, less on the economy.

Dougie doesn’t disappoint we knew he was a Liberal all along.

Canada’s economic productivity has trailed the U.S. for decades. This isn’t news and has numerous possible causes. What is particularly troubling for all Canadians, though, is that the gap is getting wider.
For an insight into the current state of the British penal system, the case of Denny De Silva is as instructive as it is worrying.
A drug-dealing murderer, on being jailed in 2016 he converted to Islam and ever since has been a thoroughly disruptive presence wherever he has been locked up.
From battering inmates who don’t share his beliefs, to smuggling in mobile phones to disseminate ‘graphic and grotesque’ Islamic State material, the 32-year-old is described as an ‘extremist enforcer’ who ‘influences and incites’ other Muslim prisoners wherever he goes.
England is on the verge of collapse.
When the adversary denies borders, morality, and the value of human life itself, refusal to resist is not a path to peace. It is a path to erasure.
Imagine: war has broken out again in Europe. But instead of mobilization, we see debates. Instead of heroes—hashtags. Instead of resistance—philosophical arguments about the nature of evil.
Today’s Europe is not ready to defend itself—neither institutionally nor morally. And even if new Churchills and de Gaulles were to appear tomorrow, they would likely be powerless to change anything. Because there would simply be no one left to stand behind them.
Two RCMP members who openly called for the resignation of nine cabinet ministers in a letter say they are motivated by patriotism, not politics.

Over the 40 years he spent in elected politics, former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has seen it all.
Yet, the 91-year-old career politician admits the current federal election is unique among the many he’s observed in his lifetime.
While he’s been part of campaigns fought over important, country-defining issues – like free trade in 1988 – this one has a more existential quality about it, he says. That, of course, is the doing of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Christopher Dunn was falsely convicted of fatally shooting a 14-year-old in 1991. He was later released after serving over three decades of a life sentence in prison for a crime he did not commit. Now, the state’s attorney general wants to put him back behind bars.
Mark Carney, another globalist-elitist China entangled type.
Just as heading into the November election Americans felt that it would be the most consequential in a lifetime, Canadians feel the same about the present contest in Canada. And it is fascinating that the Liberal Party’s strategy leading up to Canada’s election has been similar to that of the Democrats in the American election, as if they were operating from the same playbook. The most striking feature of this similarity is that both parties started out with unpopular leaders, and so both got rid of them and replaced them with someone different, but without bothering to consult the voters. Whereas the Democrat party parachuted in Kamala Harris to replace a feeble and unpopular Joe Biden without her having garnered a single vote in the primaries, Mark Carney was plopped in as leader of the Liberal party, though he had never ever run in an election. And now, given the idiosyncrasy of Canada’s parliamentary system, Carney is now running as the anointed prime minister.
