PolitiFact, the Poynter Institute’s liberal-tilting “independent fact-checking” website, has given White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt a third fact-check within her first two months at the podium — two False ratings and one Half True. On March 13, Lou Jacobson threw a False flag for Leavitt fighting with AP reporter Josh Boak, where she claimed “Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people.”
The first two fact checks came on January 28.
Carney wants call with Trump, PM ‘respects’ president’s economic goals: ambassador
OTTAWA – Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. says Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking to set up a conversation with President Donald Trump “as soon as possible.”
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday morning, Ambassador Kirsten Hillman said the Canadian side has reached out to the U.S. since Carney was sworn in as prime minister on Friday and was “looking forward” to connecting with Trump.
She says Carney is seeking to “forge a good and solid relationship” with the president and that he “respects” what Trump is trying to do when it comes to enhancing the U.S. economy, but noted the prime minister wants to do the same for Canada.
Was Carney warned not to be Justin?

Nothing should be off the table when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade, says former Trump ambassador
Donald Trump’s former ambassador to the European Union says nothing should be off the table when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade discussions and that the U.S. president wants immediate change on his irritants like dairy and auto manufacturing.
“You cannot have fair and multilateral trade by someone saying that something is not up for grabs,” Gordon Sondland said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday. “Everything is up for grabs. Everything.”

CHARLEBOIS: Mark Carney’s carbon tax rebrand won’t stop food prices from rising
Prime Minister Mark Carney has signed an executive order eliminating the so-called “consumer carbon tax,” leading many Canadians to believe they will no longer feel its financial burden.
But make no mistake – the most damaging aspect of the carbon tax for our food economy remains intact.
Saying ‘midwife’ could upset transgender people, medics warned
The NHS has been told it should stop using the word “midwife” because it is not inclusive of transgender people.
Academics claim in a new research paper that the term, which has been used since medieval times, is out of date and should be replaced with “lead perinatal practitioner”.
Dr John Peddleton, a senior lecturer in midwifery from the University of Northampton, and Dr Sally Pezaro, an academic midwife from Coventry University, claim the term “upholds the patriarchy” and its use “subordinates all who give birth”.
Protesters gather at Vancouver Tesla showroom, sound off on Musk and Trump
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Tesla showroom on West 4th Avenue in Vancouver Saturday to voice their displeasure with the company’s CEO Elon Musk.
Waving Canadian flags and carrying signs with slogans like “Tesla funds fascism” and “Send Musk to Mars,” the crowd chanted, sang “O Canada” and chatted with at least one passing Tesla driver who expressed support for the cause.
Protester Laurence Perry called the turnout “incredible.”
As in incredibly stupid.
One in Ottawa too. About 100 were planned I have read. The Deep State at work. I’m sure Elon is packing that Mars rocket was I type.
The media taking the time to put an entire segment together for this absurd Tesla protest in Ottawa is only to steer the weak minds of Canadians. Each one of them are telling you how you should be spending your money & they even have a guy wanting to revoke Elon’s citizenship.… pic.twitter.com/kczwcEfEPN

Muslim leaders call for action against made up thing
Canadian officials, Muslim leaders call for action against Islamophobia
Federal officials marked International Day to Combat Islamophobia Saturday by calling on Canadians to push back against bigotry directed at the country’s Muslim communities. But one organization that defends the civil rights of Canada’s Muslim says not enough is being done to counter the rising tide of hate.
Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, issued a statement Saturday, saying Muslims in Canada face systemic barriers and are subjected to violence and discrimination. Islamophobia, she added, comes in the form of racism, stereotypes and hostility.
Serbia’s largest-ever rally sees 325,000 protest against government
Hundreds of thousands of people descended on Serbia’s capital on Saturday to protest over the deaths of 15 people in a railway station collapse.
While the government put attendance at 107,000 across Belgrade, an independent monitor said 325,000 – if not more – had gathered, making it Serbia’s largest protest ever.
The Novi Sad collapse last November has galvanised anger towards the government and President Aleksandar Vucic. Demonstrators blame corruption and corner-cutting for the loss of life.
PANIC IN BELGRADE
Chaos erupted as stun grenades were launched into the protest crowd just before the rally ended. Local media report that unknown individuals were behind the incident.

Now’s the time for an Anti-Trump Canadian civil defence corps.
Now’s the time for a Canadian civil defence corps. I’d sign up — would you
U.S. President Donald Trump’s desire to annex Canada makes me think of my old Scout motto: “Be Prepared.”
Trump’s tariffs and rhetoric threaten our economy and sovereignty. Our federal and provincial governments are fighting back with counter tariffs and policies encouraging increased interprovincial cooperation. Ordinary citizens are fighting back, too. Many, like me, are buying Canadian products at the grocery store and posting pro-Canadian messages on social media. Some are cancelling U.S. vacations or even selling second homes south of the border.
I can see our many many 3rd World illegal aliens just dying to sign up. They just won’t stop with the fear mongering.
