HARDING: The English debate was tilted against Poilievre from the start

Last night’s English debate was not some even-handed affair, designed simply to inform Canadians and leave them to their own conclusions. In subtle ways, viewers were set up to favour Mark Carney over Pierre Poilievre in ways most probably didn’t realize.

UK Electricity Grid Rescued by Gas as Massive Winter Wind Droughts Disrupt Supply

Sunning himself in some Spanish spring sunshine, the British Prime Minister is no doubt relieved that the Supreme Court back home has given him some much needed guidance on the biology of a woman. But we must hope his holiday good humour is being disturbed by news that the breezes that will power his new socialist economic miracle went on strike during significant parts of the first quarter. In a colder-than-usual winter, windmill output fell by 11%, pushing up demand for gas and imports and causing a number of unstable and highly expensive price spikes. What dick is in charge at the Department of Energy, he might be asking himself.

Young people should not consider voting for the party that killed their dreams of home ownership

This is what Carney and his predator pal Mark Wiseman have in store for young people. People are just cord wood to them.

Which party leader will help young Canadians? Old and young disagree, Nanos poll finds

… Broken down by age, those in the 18 to 34 category were by far the most likely to trust Poilievre and the Conservatives to help young Canadians over Carney and the Liberals, at 38 per cent and 26.4 per cent, respectively.

Respondents who were age 55 or older had the opposite view, with 41.4 per cent naming Carney as the most trustworthy on that issue and 25.8 per cent favouring Poilievre.

Those in the 35 to 54 category were more evenly split between the two leaders and their parties, leaning towards Poilievre and the Conservatives by just 1.8 percentage points.

Mass immigration caused the housing shortage.

It was a thoughtlessly cruel policy decision by the Liberal government that has visited great harm to Canadians.

Michael Taube: Are cracks developing in the Liberal strategy to lionize the progressive vote?

Since Mark Carney became Prime Minister on March 9, the Liberals have been leading in most opinion polls. The reason for this significant shift was fear, anger and revulsion about U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. This, in turn, was combined with an unfounded belief that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was Trump’s Canadian equivalent, in spite of the fact the two leaders have vastly different political and ideological beliefs.

‘This is no longer immigration, this is displacement’ – For the first time, Muslim students outnumber Christians in Vienna’s schools

For the first time, Muslim students are the largest religious group in Vienna’s schools, underlining the incredible demographic transformation taking place in the Austrian city. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) is now raising the alarm.

Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. The trend is only growing, and is accompanied by rising problems, including violence in schools, anti-Semitism, and contempt for women.

At Coachella As In The Real World, Privileged Leftists Pretend To Be Counter-Cultural

In a moment that could have been pulled straight from a sitcom, an 83-year-old Sen. Bernie Sanders stood before a crowd of young festival goers at Coachella last weekend. The aging senator in his traditional suit and tie was greeted by the screams of bedazzled and sweaty Gen Z fans at the California music festival. Hot off the trails of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, he spoke to the crowd about the importance of justice. Before leaving the stage, he praised the young songwriter Clairo for her activism before introducing her.

The NDP is not going to win the election. But no one is forcing it to lose so badly

The dynamics of this election campaign have been nothing if not unusual. Consider, for example, that the Liberals’ remarkable ascent has had very little to do with the flagging fortunes of their Conservative rivals — and plenty to do with the near-collapse of the NDP and Bloc Québécois.

Support for the independantistes has declined almost exclusively due to threats from U.S. President Donald Trump toward Canada’s economy and sovereignty. What the Bloc offers Quebec — namely, the protection of its cultural and linguistic rights — is simply not much in demand right now. Among Quebecers, a surprising increase in Canadian nationalism and a growing sense of common cause with the rest of the country have made the Bloc all but irrelevant.

Singh’s support of Trudeau sealed his fate.

The TERFs were right all along

Over a hundred years ago, women across England, Scotland and Wales chained themselves to railings, knowing they would be spat on by passers-by, and waited to be cut free and thrown in a cell. The Suffragettes were up against a real, honest-to-God patriarchy, an entire society that valued them only for their ability to satisfy the requirements of men. For choosing to resist, they were ridiculed and beaten, mocked in the press, abandoned by friends, shunned and silenced.

Nasa should spend more on finding alien life

This week’s news reports highlighting the discovery of the “strongest evidence yet” of life on a distant planet, K2-18b, raise a number of pertinent questions. If life is confirmed there, what would be the next step? Should humans try to establish some sort of contact with these extraterrestrials once we know where they are?

The reports stem from a new paper based on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)’s detection of the spectral fingerprint of a single molecule, dimethyl sulfide, in the atmosphere of the exoplanet — that is, a planet which exists outside our solar system. This molecule is not a reliable biomarker according to another paper from earlier this year, which shows that it is found in the interstellar medium without the presence of life. On Earth, this molecule is produced by microorganisms in the oceans.

Terry Newman: Debate commission loses to Rebel News again

Shortly after 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, before the English Leaders Debate in Montreal ended, word began to spread on X that the media scrum that was to immediately follow the debate was cancelled. The reason given to reporters by the Leaders’ Debate Commission’s Executive Director Michel Cormier: “We don’t feel that we can actually guarantee a proper environment for this activity.” This did not please members of the press. One could be heard shouting out: “Why? This is an infringement of the liberty of the press. This is your one job!”

Pakistani jihadist who plotted to carry out 7/7 bombings in Birmingham wants to be deported – but Home Office refuse over ‘human rights concerns’

A Pakistani jihadist cannot be deported despite renouncing his British citizenship because it would breach his human rights, official papers suggest.

Irfan Khalid was one of the leaders of a gang who plotted to carry out a 7/7-style mass terror attack in Birmingham and turn the city into a ‘little war zone’.

The conspiracy was smashed during Britain’s biggest anti-terror investigation, with Khalid sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2013.

Pentagon Review of Close Combat Training Standards Is Long Overdue

Ten years have passed since the Department of Defense initiated a social experiment with women in the military. Pentagon officials promised that female trainees headed for previously all-male combat arms units would have to meet the exact same standards as men.  Has the experiment played out as promised?

We are about to find out. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s March 30 Memorandum calls for a 60-day review to achieve high, uncompromised standards in combat arms units such as the infantry, Special Operations, and other occupations with extraordinary physical demands.

Dramatic rise in fake political content on social media as Canada prepares to vote

More than a quarter of Canadians have been exposed to fake political content on social media that is “more sophisticated and more politically polarizing” as the country prepares to vote in a federal election, researchers have found, warning that platforms must increase protections amid a “dramatic acceleration” of online disinformation in the final weeks of the campaign.

In a new report released on Friday, Canada’s Media Ecosystem Observatory found a growing number of Facebook ads impersonating legitimate news sources were instead promoting fraudulent investment schemes, often involving cryptocurrency.

This is gaslighting.
