Is there a “there” there when it comes to Canada’s newest PM? I just read his 600-page book and still have no idea
The Right Honourable Mark Carney is now Canada’s prime minister; and since he has neither held elected office nor spent much of the past years in Canada, we must turn elsewhere to divine his views about the country of which he is now the leader, as well as his outlook on the world more broadly.
An elementary school janitor in New Jersey has been sentenced to eight years in jail after admitting he deliberately contaminated students’ cafeteria food with feces and bodily fluids.
Giovanni Impellizzeri, 27, a self-identified Satanist who claimed to be doing the devil’s work, pleaded guilty to second-degree official misconduct and third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material in January, as reported by NBC Philadelphia.
In Washington this week, Vice President JD Vance introduced the documentary series based on my 2020 bestseller Live Not By Lies, which is about the lessons anti-communist dissidents of the Soviet bloc have for us today. In the book (which has been translated into most European languages), I talk about the “soft totalitarianism” of wokeness and left-wing illiberalism, and feature interviews with former dissidents who warn that we are facing a new form of oppression in the West—one with striking similarities to what they endured under the Soviets.
Some of these people—Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians, and others—appear in the four-part documentary, telling their stories and warning contemporary people to wake up while there is still time.
No one calls out globalist politicians better than Marjorie Taylor-Greene. In 2024 the US congresswoman won her second landslide election, and she now chairs the influential DOGE subcommittee.
On Taylor-Green’s website she puts it straight: “Our government is supposed to work for the American people, not foreign nations.” She says one of her country’s biggest problem is that “globalist politicians in Washington, D.C. continue to put the American people last by putting their interests and the interests of other countries first.”
Famed entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary eviscerated Canada’s leadership for its defiant stance against U.S. trade policies, calling the rhetoric from Interim Prime Minister Mark Carney “sheer stupidity” and warning that the country is in no position to win a trade war with President Trump.
After our children left home, my wife and I decided to treat ourselves and buy a new car for a driving holiday in Europe. We’d been driving a family estate car for years, loading it up with kids and making trips to and from universities, but we wanted something for ourselves.
As a surprise, she booked a test drive for the Tesla Model S for my birthday. It was unlike any car I’d been in before. I thought “Wow, this is amazing.” It felt like the future: a computer on wheels that was constantly updating with new features. I can’t say I feel that way now – and many people seem to share that view. Tesla sales figures declined by 13% in the first few months of this year. Others feel even more uneasy: more than 200 demonstrations happened last weekend outside company facilities around the world to protest against Elon Musk and the wrecking ball he has taken to the federal government.
KINGSTON, Ont. — Pierre Poilievre said Thursday he disagrees with calls from former Reform Party leader Preston Manning that a vote for Liberal Leader Mark Carney amounts to a “vote for Western secession.”
Manning, whom Poilievre, the federal Conservative leader, has known since his teenage years in Calgary when he become involved with the erstwhile Reform Party, penned an opinion piece in The Globe and Mail, arguing Carney poses a threat to national unity, particularly in Western Canada, which has long been aggrieved with the policies of the Liberal government around natural resources.

OTTAWA – A leading residential school expert is questioning the Conservative party’s decision to stick with a candidate accused of denying the history of residential schools.
In videos posted on social media, Aaron Gunn — the Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia — has said Canada’s program of residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide and that the schools are “much-maligned.”
Sounds like a keeper.

Sooner or later, it is going to dawn on the owners of electric cars that they have been enjoying one of the longest introductory free offers in history. The moment of realisation may even come tomorrow. That is when, for the first time, electric cars (EVs) are going to become liable to pay road tax. It won’t necessarily be too onerous. Drive an EV out of a showroom tomorrow and you will pay just £10 in car tax for the first year, rising to £195 for your second year of ownership and beyond. Owners of vehicles registered between 1 April 2017 and today will pay £195 a year. Those registered between 2001 and 2017 will be liable for £20 a year road tax.
EV’s are heavy vehicles that still get a free pass in Canada for the added road wear they cause.
A French criminal court’s disqualification of Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French populist party, the Rassemblement National, from running for office for five years, along with a sentence of four years’ imprisonment—meaning two years under effective house arrest—and a fine of $110,000 has, not surprisingly, acted like a stick poked into a hornet’s nest. The disqualification means that Le Pen will not be able to run for the presidency, which she had a reasonable chance of winning, in 2027.
Elite Capture, Foreign Interference, and Crime: Canada Must Confront the Threat Within
Canada’s political landscape has long been characterized by a balance between geopolitical alliances and domestic priorities. But in recent years, this balance has been upended by our country’s failure to respond decisively to China’s expanding political interference, the rise of foreign-influenced elites, and the unchecked growth of transnational organized crime. What’s at stake is nothing less than our national sovereignty—and a growing perception that, through complacency, Canada is not only eroding its own democratic foundations but playing directly into the hands of U.S. strategic interests.
Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria. Recent videos posted on X show that Syrian Islamists are doing to Alawites what Hamas did to Jews living near Gaza. Christians, Druze and Yazidis in Syria — like their non-Muslim or non-Arabized counterparts in Africa— fear they may be next.
Canada may still be reeling from a bout of political and diplomatic shock—call it Post-Disruption Stress Disorder (PDSD)—following the April 2 announcement in the Rose Garden by President Trump.
But for both Canada and Mexico, the news was less damaging than feared. Despite the sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs unveiled that day, our two nations were spared. So were American grocery shoppers.
