LILLEY: Chiang is gone and so is any claim that Carney is a leader

Liberal MP Paul Chiang’s announcement that he would step down as a candidate just before midnight Monday shows a massive failure of leadership by Mark Carney.

It took four days for Chiang to be removed as the Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville and it came after Carney had spent all morning defending him.

Is Germany heading for a Russia reset?

Well, that didn’t take long. Peace negotiations over an end to the war in Ukraine are barely underway, and senior German politicians are already calling for their country to resume its ties to Russia.

The next German government is set to contain fewer people who have a problem with that, and the lure of a return to cheap energy is great. Is Germany on the brink of reverting to its pre-war relationship with Moscow?

I think the jig is up since the Ukraine conflict was revealed as having morphed into a Deep State forever war against Russia without the approval of congress.

Poilievre says the Canada-U.S. relationship can be salvaged, while Carney wants to shop us to his globalist pals for profit

Poilievre says the Canada-U.S. relationship can be salvaged, while Liberal Leader Mark Carney says it’s basically “over” and time to seek allies elsewhere.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the Canada-U.S. relationship can be salvaged, while Liberal Leader Mark Carney says it’s basically “over” and time to seek allies elsewhere.

That’s the key difference in the approach of the two major party leaders toward how they propose to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump and his short- and long-term threats to Canada’s economy and independence.

Carney says if Trump can be persuaded to reach a new comprehensive economic and security agreement with Canada, he is willing to negotiate with the U.S., but his sights are already on Europe.

Could America run out of toilet paper?

Americans could face shortages of toilet roll and panic buying in supermarkets not seen since the first, nervy days of the pandemic, according to soft but strong warnings from timber and pulp experts.

President Trump’s planned tariffs on Canadian imports, including 27 per cent levies on lumber, would raise the price of a type of wood pulp that is a key ingredient in American toilet paper.

Poilievre says the federal election can’t just be about Donald Trump

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre mounted a defence of his campaign messaging Monday, saying he has no qualms about focusing on issues like the housing crisis, cost of living concerns and relatively weak economic growth, even as some of his critics say he should go all in on Canada-U.S. relations.

In the first week of this federal campaign, Poilievre has so far largely stuck to the playbook that catapulted him and his party to the lead in the polls for much of the last two years.

Liberal Paul Chiang ‘standing aside’ after suggesting Chinese bounty be collected on Conservative candidate

Liberal incumbent Paul Chiang will not be running in the ongoing federal election after suggesting earlier this year that people should try to claim a Chinese bounty on a Conservative candidate.

In a statement posted to X late Monday night, Chiang called the federal election “uniquely important,” saying he does “not want there to be distractions in this critical moment.”

Michael Zwaagstra: Toronto Students Suffering Under Woke School Board

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is the largest school board in Canada. It might also be the most woke. The telltale sign of wokeism is an obsession with race, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Woke ideology elevates these characteristics above everything else—including excellence and merit.

This is why in 2022 TDSB trustees changed the admissions criteria for their specialty arts and sports schools from a performance-based standard to a random lottery system. Trustees argued that this change promotes “equity” for all students. What it really did, of course, was lower the average skillset of students in these schools, since they can no longer screen applicants based on skill.

Racists run the TDSB.

A toddler was suspended from nursery after being accused of being transphobic or homophobic, The Telegraph can reveal.

The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.

STIRLING: Cows are the new coal!

Western Canadian agricultural producers of canola, peas and oil cake are facing crippling retaliatory tariffs from China, because Canada imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, in line with the USA, to protect our ‘homegrown’ non-existent EV industry.

Fact: Canola contributes $43 billion to the Canadian economy, slightly less than the subsidies thrown at EV battery plants, the manufacturers of which are bankrupt or teetering.

Is Marine Le Pen trial a leftist plot? Her allies may claim so

The Paris Criminal Court verdict is an earthquake that is likely to transform the French political landscape.

Marine Le Pen, 56, who was the frontrunner for the 2027 presidential election, has been knocked out of the race at a stroke of a judge’s pen.

Her long-term plan to win power by making her hard-right National Rally party less toxic and more acceptable to mainstream voters has been reduced to rubble.
