GOLDSTEIN: Flip-flopping Carney wrong choice to lead fight against Trump

The idea that Liberal Leader Mark Carney and the current Liberal government are best equipped to fight a trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump is absurd.

In fact, the Liberals over their decade in power weakened our ability to fight that war by undermining our economy.

President Donald Trump has announced new import taxes of 25% on cars and car parts coming into the US.

Trump said the latest tariffs would come into effect on 2 April, with charges on businesses importing vehicles starting the next day. Taxes on parts are set to start in May or later.

The president said the measure would lead to “tremendous growth” for the industry, promising it would spur jobs and investment in the US.

Quebec missteps could prove to be Mark Carney’s Achilles heel

As Prime Minister Mark Carney presumably works to improve his French over the next month, he might soon discover the meaning of the proverb “en avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil.” Literally: in April, don’t remove even a thread (of clothing); figuratively: be cautious of premature optimism.

Carney is accustomed to managing risk, yet in Quebec, he’s perilously close to turning his greatest asset — goodwill — into his Achilles heel.

Denmark Moves to Women’s Mandatory Military Service Sooner Than Expected

Denmark decided to extend the military draft to young women starting in the coming months, two years earlier than initially planned. Danish women who turn 18 after July 2025 will be required to register for the health screening and subsequent draft. At the same time, the standard service period will also be increased from 4 to 11 months.

In Denmark, health screenings have always been mandatory for men, but only those who are deemed fit enough for service are required to participate in the lottery. Service obligation is then determined by the number of places not filled by volunteers each year and a random number they draw—with 5,000 expected to be conscripted this year.

Canada’s pediatricians advised to support affirming gender-questioning six-year-olds

Newly published advice to Canada’s pediatricians continues to charge “full steam ahead” with the gender-affirming model of care in the face of increasing uncertainty about its safety, and suggests that parents who don’t unquestionably affirm their child’s expressed gender risk harming their child, concerned doctors say.

Canada is slipping behind civilized nations.

Secret CIA files claim Ark of the Covenant has been found

The location of a chest believed to contain the Ten Commandments has long been a mystery, but CIA documents claims the Ark of the Covenant has been found.

According to the Bible, the Ark of the Covenant was built by the Israelites shortly after they fled Egypt around the 13th century BC. Moses then placed the Ten Commandments inside.

The CIA conducted experiments in the 1980s with individuals who claimed they could perceive information about distant objects, events or other people.

BC Drug Decriminalization and ‘Safer Supply’ Resulted in Increased Overdoses: Study

Vancouver Junkies – How could this not be considered a successful community integration?

The number of British Columbians hospitalized due to opioid overdoses increased after B.C. launched its drug decriminalization and “safer supply” policy, a new study shows.

B.C. received Health Canada’s permission to allow possession of small amounts of illicit drugs in a three-year pilot project, which started in January 2023.

What prison life is like for Tommy Robinson

Sir Martin Chamberlain didn’t take long to make up his mind.

The High Court judge had listened to a day of legal submissions and by 10 o’clock the next morning his decision was announced: Tommy Robinson’s contention that his treatment as a prisoner was unlawful and breached his human rights was “not arguable”, and it was “not accurate” to refer to his segregation as “solitary confinement”. His plea for a judicial review after he brought legal proceedings against Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary, had fallen at the first legal hurdle.

FILDEBRANDT: Carney prepares for economic warfare, against the West

Liberal Leader Mark Carney just opened another front in the Canada-US trade war: Western Canada.

Before the Liberals swapped out Justin Trudeau for Mark Carney, the former prime minister made clear that he was willing to consider an export tax against Alberta oil and Saskatchewan potash and uranium. Perhaps even British Columbian LNG. But Trudeau was a dead man walking, and what he said mattered little with one colourful sock out the door.

The ‘Signal Scandal’: Trump’s Cabinet Drops Truth Bombs on Europe

The Trump administration’s leaked—if you can call it that—discussions of war plans made headlines across the globe after a staffer working for National Security Adviser Mike Waltz (inadvertently) added a magazine editor to the senior officials’ group chat.

While American media questioned how on earth this major faux pas could occur, European commenters have been scandalized by the brutality of Team Trump’s behind-the-scenes talk regarding Europe.

Politicians Are Trading Our Children’s Future for Votes

Australia’s cultural landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by an “unprecedented wave of migration.” As of June 30, 2023, 30.7% of the nation’s 26.6 million residents—some 8.2 million people—were born overseas, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). This marks the highest proportion of overseas-born Australians since 1893, surpassing the 29.5% recorded in 2022.

Hinduism, for example, is recognized as the country’s fastest-growing religion, not due to conversion, but through the mass immigration of Indians into Australia.

Australia is frequently praised—often by its own politicians—as a multicultural success story, yet the long-term consequences of such profound demographic changes remain underexplored, especially as these shifts are poised to intensify.


Sub Canada for OZ. We are no different.

Things will get worse under a Carney government with Mark “I00 Million Unvetted 3rd Migrants” in a position of influence.
