This election, the NDP could be fighting for its own survival

In a “get ready with me” video posted this week, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh twists his long hair under his turban and talks about his life before politics.

“I went out and got three minimum-wage jobs … to put food on the table,” he says to the camera.

The TikTok video is similar to the way he introduced himself to Canadians in his first election as leader in 2019. Now he’s entering his third campaign.

Alex Marlow: Canada’s Mark Carney ‘Can’t Form Half a Sentence’ But Is Determined to Take on Trump

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Canadian P.M. Mark Carney.

After playing video of Carney giving a vague, stumbling statement on discussions with Trump, Marlow said, “I like to insult politicians for when they only do platitudes, when they’re Prime Minister Platitude, we’re not even getting the platitudes here because he can’t form half a sentence, he can’t form a clause.”

Trump revokes security clearance for Harris, Clinton and others

US President Donald Trump has revoked security clearances from his previously defeated Democratic election rivals, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, as well as a number of other top former officials.

The move comes after Trump said in February he was revoking security clearance for his predecessor Joe Biden. He confirmed that move in the latest announcement, adding that he was also revoking the security clearance of “any other member” of the Biden family.

“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” Trump’s memorandum read.

Terry Newman: Mark Carney’s climate obsessions will put Trudeau to shame

This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney promised a crowd in Edmonton that he would speed up pipeline-project approvals, reducing the waiting period from five to two years. But Carney has also told us he wants to keep an emissions cap on the oil and gas industry and industrial carbon tax, both of which are likely to deter potential investors in Canada’s energy projects. He’s also conceded that various competing interests would have to be consulted before any natural resource projects will be able to get off the ground, while failing to communicate any assurances he could get the job done to reassure investors.

In Canada’s snap election, Donald Trump is the one to beat

Donald Trump’s shadow is looming large over Canada’s general election.

Mark Carney, the new Canadian prime minister, and his Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre are in the race of their lives – not just against each other, but to create as much distance between themselves and the US president as possible.

Since Mr Trump entered the White House in January and took an increasingly belligerent stance on the US’ northern neighbour, he has turned Canadian politics on his head.

Trump revoking legal status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

US President Donald Trump’s administration has said it will revoke the temporary legal status of more than half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Migrants without a legal basis to remain have been warned to leave the country before their work permits and deportation shield are cancelled on 24 April, according to a notice posted by the federal government.

The 530,000 migrants were brought into the US under a Biden-era sponsorship process known as CHNV that was designed to open legal migration pathways. Trump suspended the programme once he took office.

WARMINGTON: Oilers may never shake ‘Carney Curse’ as injuries mount post PM photo op

Just call it the Carney Curse!

And you better believe that will be the last time No. 24 Mark Carney will be back on the ice with the Edmonton Oilers.

While Carney, who turned 60 last Sunday, teased on X he “always knew I would make it to the show,” there’s probably just too much carnage left behind to give him another shift.

Jesse Kline: For the love of peat — how Liberals let moss block development of the ‘oilsands of Ontario’

A video posted by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Wednesday highlights one of Canada’s enduring problems: our chronic inability to get anything done and, by extension, our propensity to handicap our own economic prosperity.

In the video, and at a pre-campaign stop in Sudbury, Ont., Poilievre highlighted a story that should have sparked a modern-day gold rush. In 2007, prospectors found vast deposits of critical minerals — including chromite, which is used to produce stainless steel, cobalt, nickel, copper and platinum — in a remote part of northern Ontario, about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, that came to be known as the “Ring of Fire.”

Pope Francis must relearn to speak, cardinal says

Pope Francis is slowly regaining his strength in hospital but must “relearn to speak” after prolonged use of high-flow oxygen therapy, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez said on Friday.

The cardinal, who is the head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office, dismissed speculation that the Pope would retire and said he was returning to his old self.

“The Pope is doing very well, but high-flow oxygen dries everything out. He needs to relearn how to speak, but his overall physical condition is as it was before,” Cardinal Fernandez said at a presentation of a new book by Pope Francis on poetry.
