Global evidence is clear: Adding more solar and wind to the energy supply pushes up the price of electricity. Ontario families and businesses already know this — from bitter experience. Beginning in 2005, Ontario began phasing out coal and dove headlong into subsidizing wind and solar generation.
Dangerous offender Simon Gares is a prince of a man.
He goes to prison, comes out, breaches, returns to prison, and then, like a phoenix, soars back into our communities. Rinse and repeat.
Ottawa’s emissions reduction plan could push Alberta into a “deep recession” by 2030, while raising consumer prices nationwide and lowering Canadians’ incomes by 2050, says a new report by the Conference Board of Canada, commissioned by the Alberta government.
The report, published on Jan. 21 and updated on March 24, looks at the potential economic impacts of Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP), a set of measures the federal government has proposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 percent relative to 2005 levels by 2030.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order that he said imposes 25 per cent tariffs on the auto industry, saying the duty would go on all vehicles made outside the U.S. starting April 2.
The announcement is the latest in a set of tariffs that Trump has vowed against various countries since taking office, but the auto-specific duties have been floated by the president for weeks.
“This is the beginning of Liberation Day in America,” Trump said. “Before I was elected, we were losing all of our plants that were being built in Mexico and Canada and other places. Now, those plants largely have stopped and they’re moving them to our country.
Carney and his pals will profit from our misery.

The Diversifying Higher Education Equality in Illinois program, which provides financial aid exclusively to minority graduate students pursuing careers in higher education, is under fire for its race-based eligibility criteria, as it does not allow white applicants.

WINDSOR, Ontario — These are complicated times along Canada’s border.
Whenever President Donald Trump talks about obliterating Canada’s auto industry, he takes direct aim at the people who live over the river from Detroit in Windsor. Windsorites recoil from his threats, but few see Detroiters as adversaries.
But as they gear up to head to the polls on April 28 in a snap federal election, the focus for Canadians in border towns and elsewhere is increasingly their complicated relationship with their neighbors. As long as there’s a trade war, Trump will be the ballot question.
As expected, Snow White’s remake and its lecturing leading lady’s career blew up like a Hezbollah pager this week.
It turns out, nobody wants to line up to be yelled at by a princess-turned two-dimensional boss lady whose kingdom of comrades waged a cultural revolution on their childhood classics.
Canadians are fired up to engage in economic warfare against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The attack on the US economy should include building numerous new Canadian oil and gas pipelines, an astonishing super majority of Canadians say in a new poll.
There are all sorts of rumors about what happened on election night 2016 when Hillary Clinton learned she had lost the election to Donald Trump. After months of polls and media reports suggesting she had over a 90% chance of winning, it must have been devastating. Rumors of drunken violence in her hotel room have been floating around for years. I’d love to know the truth.
After years of bristling at the idea of “vote splitting,” former NDP leader Tom Mulcair has effectively warned NDP supporters not to split the vote in the 2025 election.
In a March 24 op-ed for Bloomberg News, Mulcair warned that the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump is too dire for Canadians to vote for third parties, and that the coming election should be a race “between the Liberals and Conservatives.”

Imagine if the Donald Trump for President campaign demanded that questions directed at Trump were pre-scripted and that the campaign would get the right to pre-approve quotes derived from those interviews.
In his time at Brookfield Asset Management, Liberal Leader Mark Carney personally co-chaired two investment funds dedicated to the transition to a net-zero carbon economy, worth a total of $25 billion.
Those funds were registered in Bermuda, among other locations, allowing investors to benefit from significant tax advantages, according to information obtained by Radio-Canada.
Russia and Ukraine have agreed a ceasefire in the Black Sea but the Kremlin has made it conditional on western sanctions being lifted against key Russian companies.
The White House announced that Kyiv and Moscow had agreed to “ensure safe navigation” and “eliminate the use of force” in the waters three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
For nearly 10 years, voters looked from the Liberals to the NDP, and from the NDP to the Liberals, and found it impossible to say which was which.
This is why, when they had tired of Justin Trudeau, they turned to Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, rather than Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats. If the Liberals have since been regenerated like an immortal phoenix, the NDP’s trajectory has been more like the live turkeys dropped from a helicopter as part of WKRP in Cincinatti’s Thanksgiving promotion.
Last week, Iraqi authorities intercepted one of the largest shipments of the illegal drug, Captagon, they had ever stopped. Just over a ton of the pills — an amphetamine-like drug that’s highly addictive and popular with users in wealthy Gulf states — were found hidden in a truck heading over the Iraqi border from Turkey. It had apparently come from Syria.
Observers immediately asked: Why were such large shipments of Captagon still being discovered, several months after Syria’s authoritarian Assad regime was ousted?
