Politico issued an emergency “Note to Our Readers” on Thursday about evidence uncovered by Team Doge that Politico has been paid at least $8 million indirectly via high priced government agency subscriptions to its Politico Pro service.
Bizarrely in the entire note the agency at the center of the scandal dares not mention its name. Yes, you will not see the word “USAID” even once in the note issued by Politico’s CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Global Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris.
Canada,
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is very real, and they and their "friends" are responsible for the "culture of woke" and the decline of Canada.
In the attached report, issued in April 2016, the WEF set a clear strategy to reshape global governance, finance, workforce… https://t.co/TpWlOwqc3M pic.twitter.com/iolgIr8o8D

Donald Trump is offering Japan something that Canada, under Justin Trudeau, refused to and we will be poorer because of it.
While meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru on Friday, the U.S. President mentioned several trade initiatives with Japan – but specifically exporting liquified natural gas to Japan.
This is the very deal Japan asked Canada for two years ago, in an attempt to wean their country off of Russian and Middle Eastern products. Trudeau refused their request, but on Friday, Trump boasted of what he says will be a great deal for America.
Trump gets cool stuff, Junior gets us laughed at.
NEW: The Prime Minister of Japan gave President Trump a super special gift called the “Eternal Helmet,” a golden samurai helmet created by a company in the Prime Minister’s hometown
“The Japanese government’s order came with two specific requests: (1) The helmet had to be… pic.twitter.com/lH11t9D9X8

Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Germany over the past week to demonstrate against the so-called “far-right”, however, a top publication has reported that activist groups involved have been funded by the left-wing government in Berlin.
A new report looking at the prevalence of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI and EDI) practices in federal research grant-funding agencies says the ideology has “come to dominate” the academia and government.
The report by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute studied how DEI appears in academic and research bodies, including three federal research granting agencies.
As we gear up for the highly anticipated Super Bowl showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the referees, for those of us who really don’t care who wins, there’s always the added entertainment of watching the commercials. Every year, companies shell out insane sums for coveted Super Bowl airtime, and some ads go down as instant classics. But this year, the real buzz isn’t just about the game—it’s about a rumored ad campaign that could be truly epic.
OTTAWA—Defence spending is hot. The consumer carbon price is not. And at least two “czars” are on offer to help solve the nation’s problems.
With little over a month left before Liberals choose Canada’s next prime minister, the candidates to replace Justin Trudeau are starting to fill out their policy visions. There is broad agreement on issues like the desire to preserve Trudeau government social programs, including dental care, child care and public coverage of diabetes medication and contraception.
Representatives of Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party were among the guests at US President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. They were there alongside Argentina’s President Javier Milei, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Nigel Farage from the UK.
One day before, Trump’s former chief ideologue Steve Bannon, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, an AfD lawmaker and numerous influencers held an informal meeting in Washington to exchange ideas. One right-wing influencer from Germany posted a video from the sidelines, boasting that he had just received an invitation from El Salvador’s ambassador.
DW is a German state funded propaganda outlet and this article is a prime example of their work. The AfD is scaring the establishment to death.
The Conservatives just got a good piece of advice for dealing with the nearly 370,000-strong federal workforce from the man who once headed the Liberals’ public service: get ready to get firing.
On this topic, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hasn’t offered much of a plan beyond acknowledging the need for fewer bureaucrats and more efficiency. Last month, his deputy leader, Melissa Lantsman, suggested the tactic of attrition: wait for staff to leave, and don’t replace them. (On this front, the Liberals are one step ahead, having deployed a “natural attrition” plan to save costs in the 2024 budget.)
President Trump insists he trusts Elon Musk to overhaul the federal government and expressed awe at the tech titan’s work ethic while reaffirming his next targets — the Education Department and Pentagon.
“I ran on this,” Trump, 78, told Fox News’ Bret Baier in a preview clip of his Super Bowl interview, referring to his administration’s efforts to root out government waste. “I’ve had a great help with Elon Musk, who’s been terrific.”
NEW: Trump visibly surprised after Fox News' Bret Baier asks him if he trusts Elon Musk, says he is going to send Musk after the Department of Education next.
Baier: "Bottom line, you say you trust [Elon]?"
Trump: "Trust Elon? He's not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he… pic.twitter.com/zZlxetgc7H

Make no mistake, Mark Carney will win the Liberal leadership on March 9, one month from now, and become prime minister, at least for a few months.
I know Chrystia Freeland is also running. And Freeland deserves credit for performing one of the most merciful acts in Canadian political history — sticking the shiv into Justin Trudeau so that he finally, mercifully, took the hint and announced his resignation.
The Liberal problem is they have no one running who isn’t closely linked to the reviled Trudeau regime and that includes Carney who is at best Trudeau no.2.
The TDS bump in LPC polling fortunes won’t last forever. Once the truth about about Carney’s China, WEF, Climate Cult & UN links become more widely known he will be seen for what he is a globalist shill installed by the Laurentian Elite.
Despite the effort to paint him as a man with the common touch he comes across as the John Kerry of the north reader PA Cat aptly noted.
After being burgled six times in eight years, Paul Powlesland had given up on phoning the police.
But after two more break-ins, the barrister went to his local Metropolitan Police custody suite last week to ask for help. This time he was armed with something he was certain would bring the culprit to justice: he had left behind a bail form with his name and address on it.
“I was told quite rudely that there’s no police and I should try 101,” Powlesland said. “As if I was stupid for thinking that they might be able to help me.”
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford touted his party’s border security measures amid the threat of U.S. tariffs, as the NDP focused on pocketbook issues Saturday with the promise of a monthly grocery rebate for millions of people.
Ford continued to hammer home his campaign message about protecting Ontario’s economy, saying that even though U.S. President Donald Trump has put off his tariff threats until early March, “an unprecedented economic risk” still looms.
Who is going to pay for this “rebate”?
BREAKING: Ontario NDP just announced food stamps for middle-class Canadians. You heard that correctly.
The economy is so bad under Liberal-NDP policies that working families can’t even afford food.
Socialism alive and strong in Canada

President Donald Trump took over the White House less than a month ago, and in keeping with his reality television show catchphrase from The Apprentice – “You’re Fired” – he has already removed more than 200 employees.
Some amount of turnover is typical for a new administration, but Trump has made massive changes during his first weeks in office. He offered buyouts to millions of government workers and put a stop to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes.
On Friday, Trump fired the nation’s top record keeper, US Archivist Colleen Shogan.
For some it is a shock to see a President do what he was elected to do.
