There is a thing that happens if you’ve ever had someone in your close circle face a terminal illness.
For months, then weeks and then the final days, every thought and question is about that person: How are they feeling? Is today better or worse than yesterday? Is there any food or drink that appeals to them?
That person is the centre of the universe, with everything revolving around them. And the longer the clock winds down, the tighter the spiral spins in toward them.
Elites in the U.S. and U.K. prioritize protecting their power over public safety, hiding the truth about crimes and fearing backlash more than addressing the harm inflicted on innocent victims.
Having read his January 7th piece in American Greatness, “We Can Handle the Truth,” clearly Christopher Roach did a splendid job of employing a cinematic reference to tie together the U.S. and U.K. establishments’ mutual fear of telling their public the truth about terrorism and other criminal acts when the perpetrators are from a preferred intersectional group.
OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once considered quitting politics long before Monday.
On the day he announced his coming resignation, Trudeau wrote his own first draft of history. He told the nation he is a fighter who never backs away from a fight — that he wouldn’t be stepping down if it weren’t for his internal caucus struggles that eclipsed his ability to stay on.
In fact, in early 2023, months before Trudeau publicly revealed his separation from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the prime minister seriously weighed leaving office, the Star has learned.

Recently, Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre appeared on Jordan Peterson’s podcast, and the interview has received north of 40 million views when both YouTube and X viewership are included. These are numbers associated with celebrity social media views and pop songs, but a Canadian opposition leader — not the prime minister — is captivating the podcast and alternative media space talking about his policy goals for when he becomes prime minister of Canada, which is inevitable at this point.
So, the question must be asked: Who is Pierre Poilievre? And what is he all about?

The name of Luigi Mangione has come up often over the past few days in social media users’ discussions of the fires ravaging Southern California.
Many, angered by State Farm’s decision last summer to cancel hundreds of homeowners policies in some of the neighborhoods now devastated by the blazes, are looking at the 26-year-old as the type of avenger they wish would punish insurance companies that have cut coverage across the state.
Symbols are often contradictory. Despite his privileged personal background Mangione has been claimed by a generation that will never have to worry about home insurance because they won’t ever be able to own a home let alone medical insurance and now by a generation that has lost their homes. Politics may get very interesting in California.
California is undergoing a crisis of competence. Surrounded by ashen heaps of what used to be thousands of homes and businesses, voters finally may realize that luxury beliefs sound nice at cocktail parties and the gym, but somebody should make sure there’s water in the reservoirs and fire hydrants.

While Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for an “axe the tax” election this year, the Liberals’ carbon tax is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the added costs imposed on Canadians by current federal climate change policies – many of which are inefficient, counterproductive and illogical.
The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) obliges US social media platforms to take a whole arsenal of preventive and repressive measures, basically to prevent the sharing of information that displeases the European Commission. The new US administration will not tolerate levying fines of tens of billions of dollars on major US technology companies by a European Union that is drifting towards authoritarianism and is at the same time more dependent than ever on American power.
One man has been given jail time for his role in the Coutts border blockade in Alberta in 2022, while another was sentenced to community time.
Marco Van Huigenbos was sentenced to four months in jail and Gerhard (George) Janzen received a three-month sentence, which is to be served in the community. Janzen was also ordered to complete 100 hours of community service within the three months.
For more than a decade, the media, Democrats, and Hollywood have told us that Western civilization in general and the United States in particular are white supremacist, genocidal, and unsustainable. The founding of America occurred not in 1776 but rather in 1619 with the… pic.twitter.com/jD4f0Mq3oo

Transport Minister Anita Anand announced Saturday afternoon she will not run in the Liberal Party’s ongoing leadership contest to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, nor will she seek re-election when Canadians next go to the polls.
Anand said in a statement posted to social media she has been “deeply honoured and humbled to serve as Oakville’s Member of Parliament and as member of cabinet.”
Rats galore.
Three women who were left devastated by historical child sexual exploitation in Oldham have told the BBC ministers should have spoken to survivors before deciding not to conduct a government-led inquiry into grooming gangs in the town.
Jane and Amelia, who survived abuse more than 15 years ago, and Sarah, whose son was exploited in the town while he was in care, called on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to meet them and hear their stories.
Ministers rejected Oldham Council’s request to conduct an inquiry, saying the council should lead it.
There are a lot of animals who should be rotting in jail.
WASHINGTON — United States president-elect Donald Trump may declare a national emergency in order to turn his threat to slap Canada with 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs into a reality.
With less than two weeks to go until Trump returns to the White House, it’s still not clear how the Republican leader will enact his tariff agenda. Greta Peisch, the former general counsel for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, said the incoming president could use the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA).
I really don’t care that the Corporate Welfare Class gets hurt they deserve it but Canadian workers will also suffer.
