Carney’s Dad Referred To Aboriginal Children As Culturally Retarded

Untangling Mark Carney’s father’s ties to Fort Smith, N.W.T., Indian day school

“Mr. Carney, at the teachers conference not long ago, you told about a program you have working at the Joseph B. Tyrrell (JBT) school in Fort Smith for culturally retarded children,” the host began. “First of all, would you define a culturally retarded child for me?”

The reply was unequivocal and direct.

“A culturally retarded child in the context of the Northwest Territories is a child from a Native background who for various reasons has not been in regular attendance in school,” said Carney.

Trump wants Musk to stay with admin ‘as long as possible’ — hints that DOGE found something ‘horrible’

President Trump was adamant Thursday that he wants Elon Musk to be a part of his administration for “as long as possible,” teasing that the tech mogul’s team of government cost-cutters recently uncovered something “horrible.”

“I want Elon to stay as long as possible,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, before rattling off a list of reasons why he likes having the billionaire X owner around the White House.

“Number one: I like him. Number two: He’s doing a great job. Number three: He is a patriot,” the president said.

Terry Glavin: Beware, Mark Carney’s affection for authoritarian China

Liberal MP Paul Chiang said something profoundly unpardonable. Liberal Leader Mark Carney was perfectly content to pardon him for it. But public outrage ensued, so Chiang fell on his sword and resigned. End of story.

Except it isn’t the end of the story. It’s only going to get darker from here on in, as China waits, hopes and plans for Canada to return to the Trudeau-era embrace of the motherland.

As Snow White heads for $115m loss, how can Disney recover?

Over the past decade Disney has made a fortune from giving its classic films a modern makeover, with fresh takes on Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast all grossing more than a billion dollars at the box office.

And yet far from a fairytale, last month’s release of Snow White — a remake of perhaps the company’s most beloved animated feature — was a disaster and by some estimates, the film could lose $115 million.

Stellantis—the carmaker behind brands like Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep—is pausing production at two major North American assembly plants in Canada and Mexico, resulting in temporary layoffs at five U.S. facilities that supply them, the automaker confirmed in an internal email obtained by The Epoch Times.

The company will halt production at its Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, for two weeks starting April 7. In addition, the Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico will be offline for the entire month of April, according to a message sent Thursday morning by Stellantis North America COO Antonio Filosa to all North American employees.

Britain’s wokest council tells staff to take white privilege test

A flagship Labour council is telling staff to undergo a “privilege” test as part of its efforts to combat unconscious bias against ethnic minorities.

Westminster city council is also seeking to boost recruitment of “global majority” candidates for senior posts by giving them preferential treatment over equally qualified white applicants – and ensuring there is at least one ethnic minority candidate on shortlists for jobs.

Poilievre calls U.S. ‘unreliable,’ vows to revoke defence, trade commitments if Washington keeps violating pacts with Ottawa

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the United States is no longer a reliable partner and has vowed that, if his party were to form the next government, he would revoke defence and market access agreements with Washington if it violated a renegotiated trade deal with Canada.

He also pledged during a campaign stop in Kingston that he would eliminate the 5-per-cent federal goods and services tax on purchases of new, Canadian-made automobiles and light trucks, for a $2,500 savings on vehicles that cost $50,000.

Meghan Murphy: Liberals feign outrage over Poilievre’s truth about biological clocks

Canadian Liberals performed a traditional dance of outrage on X this week, reminiscent of Twitter circa 2015. There was even a hashtag — #WomenAgainstPoilievre — despite the fact X owner Elon Musk told users hashtags had become irrelevant in December.

What was the apparent offence that caused legions of Liberals and social media commentators to post things like, “This is unbelievable in this day and age,” “Gilead Pierre wants to regulate ovaries” and “Imagine being a Woman and voting for this garbage. Ew!”

OLDCORN: Put Canadian students first, stop importing Third World countries’ problems onto school campuses

Canada’s universities and colleges risk losing their way as schools increasingly prioritize international recruitment over their core duty to educate Canadian students.

What began as a push for cultural exchange has morphed into a system described as a “visa-for-cash” model, sidelining domestic learners and straining school communities as third-world students try to impose their backward values.

Media Lie About Deported ‘Maryland Father’s’ Legal Status, Downplay His Gang Ties

The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth — and in some cases, flat out lying — to discredit and undermine President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. In the latest example, the media are painting an illegal alien — who is allegedly a gang member — as merely a “Maryland father” with “protected legal status” who was “mistakenly” swept up in a mass deportation.

On Monday, The Atlantic’s Nick Miroff wrote that the Trump administration “mistakenly” sent a “Maryland father with protected legal status” to a Salvadoran prison due to an “administrative error.”

Trump’s Fight Against Antisemitism Has Become Fraught for Many Jews

Jewicidal Rabbi

American Jews have watched with both alarm and enthusiasm as strong-arm tactics, including arrests of activists, have been deployed in their name.

Rabbi Sharon Brous was growing increasingly alarmed at the Trump administration’s strong-arm tactics, like its attacks on higher-education funding and bullying of law firms, all in the name of protecting Jews.

So early last month, she delivered an impassioned sermon titled “I Am Not Your Pawn” to her Los Angeles congregation. Hours later, the next shoe dropped. Immigration agents began detaining activists and foreign students who had been involved in pro-Palestinian protests.

“This is not going to protect Jews,” Rabbi Brous said in an interview. “We’re being used.”

You just can’t please some people.

After Trump’s broad tariffs, Europe reels from the loss of an old ally

ROME — In announcing plans to rebuild post-World War II Europe, then-U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall linked security with economics. Without the United States doing whatever it could to promote “normal economic health in the world,” he said, “there can be no political stability and no assured peace.”

Nearly 80 years later, America’s closest allies in Europe see President Donald Trump’s tariffs as another blow to a fast-fracturing Western alliance that had stood as the most successful peace project of modern times — one whose pillars included shared democratic values, a strategic goal to contain Moscow as well as flourishing flows of trade and investment.

I don’t think anyone expected the Marshall Plan to be a permanent US financial obligation.

What’s the Real Target of the Assault on Tesla?

The war on Elon Musk and Tesla is driven by far more than politics. One thing is for sure: Tesla owners never saw this one coming. After all, Tesla fans are generally predisposed to embrace climate change and much of the Green New Deal — positions with large support among people on the Left side of the political spectrum. For many, owning a Tesla is a statement of virtue signaling that you are doing your part to save the world and save the environment. Owners of Teslas are more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. So why would Tesla dealerships and Tesla car owners be targeted for destruction? And who are these radical property destroyers?
