OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Friday that a list of energy-related demands put out by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was “very reasonable” but wouldn’t commit to meeting them all if he becomes prime minister.
“You’ll have to see the rest of our platform roll out in due course,” Poilievre told reporters, speaking at a campaign style announcement in suburban Ottawa.

How seriously are Canadians taking Trump? Some are apparently taking him a little too seriously. Most of us on the right are familiar with Trump’s swagger, his Queens-style approach to negotiation, and his tendency toward acidic one-liners, nicknames, and insults. We know that he means business, but we don’t take him literally. To be honest, most people on the Left know this, too, but it is to their advantage to pretend otherwise.

Back to the Beeb. Now the news broadcaster is busying itself with worries that its staff seem to be struggling to cope with, um, the news. The corporation has issued an emotional support notice for colleagues affected by events across the water, after the election of US President Donald Trump – with the Beeb gushing that its ‘commitment to diversity, inclusion and belonging remains unwavering’. How sweet.
The statement, issued by the BBC Pride Board, sympathised with staff members ‘particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community’ who may have ‘concerns’ about goings-on stateside.
For nonprofits that conduct or fund illegal behavior, an era may be coming to an end.
Greenpeace backed radical protesters who tried to block a North Dakota pipeline. Now the pipeline company has won huge damages in a lawsuit against the iconic NGO. Other nonprofits should take notice.
On Wednesday, a jury in Mandan, North Dakota returned a stunning verdict against Greenpeace for its role in the violent protests and misleading PR campaign that disrupted construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016. The jury hearing the civil lawsuit found Greenpeace USA and two other Greenpeace entities liable for civil conspiracy, defamation, trespass, and other misdeeds. If the verdict stands, the storied environmental nonprofit will have to pay $667 million in damages to plaintiff Energy Transfer, the pipeline company that built and owns the DAPL.
The polls are clear: Canadians are looking for someone to lead us through this difficult patch. There was even a moment during Mark Carney’s Liberal leadership acceptance speech when it seemed as though he understood the assignment. He hinted that common sense would finally prevail, that he would dispense with a decade of Liberal orthodoxy that had demonized Canada’s oil and gas sector.
By promising to make Canada a “superpower in both clean and conventional energy,” our new prime minister seemed to be prioritizing Canadian jobs over his stated fear that climate change is a “tragedy on the horizon” that will lead to the loss of countless lives.
On March 7, thousands of members of Bangladesh’s banned Islamist militant group, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, defying police barricades, marched through the streets of Dhaka to demand that the country’s secular democracy be replaced by an Islamic caliphate. Demonstrators chanting “Khilafat, Khilafat” – a direct call for Islamic rule — gathered for the “March for Khilafat” procession outside the Baitul Mukarram Mosque after Friday prayers. The mob at the march turned violent — complete with stone-throwers who clashed with police. The police, in turn, fired back with tear gas and stun grenades.
Hizb ut-Tahrir, which has been banned in Bangladesh since 2009 for posing a threat to national security, organized this rally in defiance of a government ban on public gatherings.
The joke around the political world Thursday was that the Edmonton Oilers hadn’t seen that level of power on their ice surface since Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky left town.
As he prepares for an expected election call Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney not only has the clout to get the best seats in the rink to see the Edmonton Oilers, but also to get on the ice and skate with them.
No this is not A.I.
Carney joined the Oilers Practice.

For centuries the Latin used during degree ceremonies at Oxford University referred to “masters, ladies and gentlemen”.
Possibly not for much longer. Proposals to amend the language to make it more inclusive for non-binary individuals are being recommended to the 5,000 academic and other staff that make up Congregation, Oxford’s governing body — often referred to as its parliament.
Change centuries of tradition to accommodate a few confused cranks. Right.
Politicians and community leaders are warning that anti-Israel rallies planned for Al-Quds Day this Sunday could be filled with antisemitic chants and the glorification of terrorism, and they are asking law enforcement to do more to protect the Jewish community.
“There’s been a long history of concern about Al-Quds Day, which is an annual hateful protest, an event that calls for the elimination and eradication of the State of Israel,” Toronto city councillor Brad Bradford told National Post.
Good luck.
Of course, a man’s aesthetic would absolutely trigger the liberal ladies of The View. The Thursday edition of the ABC News show featured the cast having a collective meltdown over President Trump sprucing up the Oval Office with images and objects he enjoyed; you know, the thing all presidents got to do. The hot air was blowing as they freaked out over Trump’s choice of décor and suggesting he was acting like a “king” and feared for the future.
The pearl clutching began with fill-in moderator Joy Behar fretting: “Is there no safe place to go anymore with this guy?”
China ‘ready to move forward’ in relations with Canada, envoy says
China’s ambassador says his country is open to negotiating a free-trade agreement with Ottawa and co-operating on a research station in the Arctic – extending an invitation to repair strained ties as Canada’s relations with the United States worsen.
However, Wang Di, Beijing’s envoy to Canada, says Ottawa would have to remove restrictions placed on Chinese investment in recent years.
British-American influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan said on Friday they are flying back to Romania, where they face human trafficking and other charges.
“Spending $185,000 (£143,000) on a private jet across the Atlantic to sign one single piece of paper in Romania,” Andrew Tate posted to his 10.8 million followers on X. “Innocent men don’t run. They clear their name in court.”
The BBC understands the brothers will appear in court for a hearing on Monday. They strongly deny the allegations against them.
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests Canadians are feeling increasingly alarmed by U.S. tariffs, President Donald Trump and American economic aggression.
The Leger poll, which sampled more than 1,500 Canadian adults from March 14 to March 16, suggests 41 per cent of respondents see those three factors as the most pressing threats facing Canada today — a 13 point spike since the March 3 survey.
The poll also suggests that people in Quebec are most concerned about tariffs, Trump and U.S. aggression, with 51 per cent of respondents there citing them as the biggest issues.
