One June day in 1996, three years after he became prime minister, Jean Chrétien made his way to a recreation centre in Fort McMurray, now the gritty northern Alberta heart of the oil sector, sitting atop the world’s third-largest oil reserves.
We should be richer than Sheiks.
Are the crazed leftists of ActBlue trying to destroy Elon Musk’s Tesla company?
Sure seems like it, based on what Musk himself has uncovered …
That’s popular Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum participating recently in some kind of ceremony meant to honor indigenous women. When she was inaugurated last year, she held a public ritual in which indigenous women “cleansed” her. A friend from Central America told me on Friday that based on what his Mexican relatives tell him, he would not be at all surprised if Mexico City reverted to Tenochtitlán, its Aztec name. If that happens, it will be because of the broader de-Christianization and re-indigenization of the country.
RAF bosses have launched a desperate search for pilots after a secret bid to discriminate against white male applicants backfired.
Candidates previously overlooked are now being urged to re-apply for training as the Air Force frantically tries to fill cockpits with combat-ready flyers, the Mail can reveal.
The plea follows a controversial drive by top brass to prioritise the recruitment of women and ethnic minorities, which was found to be unlawful.
Much of the world has chosen to dismiss or denounce Trump’s proposal for the Gaza Strip. That plan expresses Trump’s belief that Gaza could be turned into a highly desirable, mostly residential property, with a long and beautiful beachfront, once the rubble is removed, and the unexploded ordnance, and the other explosives with which Hamas booby-trapped so many civilian buildings, could also be collected and safely detonated. No Gazans would be forced to leave; the plan envisions a voluntary and temporary exodus, with Gazans returning, in staggered numbers, once some part of Gaza has again been rebuilt with what Trump envisions as attractive new and solid housing. He believes that this removal of the rubble and then the rebuilding of infrastructure will be paid for by the rich Arab states of the Gulf — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait — with not one penny coming from the American government.
Mark Carney has won the Liberal party leadership contest by an enormous margin. He will soon be the prime minister of Canada. It’s a moment of triumph for the former governor of the Bank of England, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, a senior banker at Goldman Sachs based in the United States, Japan and Britain, for a former shapeshifting personage of the United Nations, for a Davos regular: for one of the most ambitious, globally ambitious, guys around. It’s a repudiation of the idea that a citizen of nowhere financier type educated at Harvard and Oxford could never rise to the top in our populist age.
Militants from Syria’s ruling Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) engaged in a ruthless killing spree this weekend, taking delight in beating, torturing and executing helpless civilians in Alawite-majority areas along the nation’s west coast.
More than 1,000 people have reportedly been slaughtered, the majority of whom were civilians, as HTS militants filmed themselves subjecting unarmed citizens in Alawite and Christian communities to extreme violence.
Some were forced to crawl besides the bloodied corpses of their neighbours as they were battered by branches and sticks.
Tory leader Pierre Poilievre has warned President Donald Trump would find out about Mark Carney’s American holdings and leverage them against Canadians.
Poilievre speaking at a press conference on Monday ripped into the “worsening situation” Canada faces after the Liberals installed Mark Carney as the party’s leader and thereby de facto prime minister.
VANCOUVER — Shocking new details are emerging about a major Chinese organized crime suspect who met privately with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a police source who confirmed recent reporting from The Globe and Mail. The individual, Paul King Jin, is allegedly implicated in money laundering operations spanning the Western Hemisphere and has been a target of multiple failed major investigations in British Columbia. These investigations sought to unravel the complex interrelations of underground casinos and real estate investment, fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking, and financial crimes that allegedly funnel drug proceeds from diaspora community underground banks throughout North America and Latin America, with connections to Chinese and Hong Kong financial institutions.
Oh, Canada – you guys are a trip.
Every last Canadian politician has been in the middle of sputtering in indignation and couldn’t wait to get to the next microphone surrounded by a press scrum to rail against Donald Trump.
He has global experience. He has proven leadership skills. And he has the connections and the clout needed to steer his country through a perilous moment in its history. As Mark Carney succeeds Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada, he has made much of his credentials as a “rock star” central banker and of his undoubtedly impressive collection of other grand-sounding jobs.
There is just one snag. As it turns out, it takes only a cursory glance at his record to work out that Carney’s reputation is completely overblown. In reality, he has been over-promoted all over again.
Life in the shadows– Toronto’s undocumented migrants – most of whom initially entered the country legally – grapple with substandard employment, health and housing options
Every morning across the Greater Toronto Area, thousands of undocumented workers head out to their jobs in construction, cleaning and home care, despite the fact that they are not legally allowed to live or work in Canada.
Unlike in the U.S., where many undocumented people entered without authorization at the southern border, most of these individuals in Canada entered the country legally. They came as temporary workers, international students, tourists or refugee claimants, and saw their visas expire or refugee claims rejected before they were able to transition to another type of legal status.
The Globe’s BIG Concern: The public may turn against “migration”.
How corrupt are they? They write positively about the Liberal government’s recent decision to reward unscrupulous employers who hire illegals.
They don’t give a crap that you are unemployed, that your health is sacrificed due to system strain, that your rent went through the roof or that your children may never be able to afford a home.
They get to virtue signal and peacock their progressiveness because you pay their salaries.
The fundraising platform is suspected of identity theft, credit card fraud, and various other financial crimes.
Before the recent election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to turn over all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) relating to ActBlue — not much happened. An SAR is a document that banks file with the Treasury Department pursuant to potentially fraudulent or illicit financial activity. Yellen stalled, presumably in the hope that the Democrats would win the House back in November and halt the investigation. That obviously didn’t happen and the new Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, is of course cooperating with the committee.
