JAY GOLDBERG: Liberal leadership candidates must embrace fiscal reckoning
No matter who Canada’s next prime minister is, it’s time to lay down a marker: The party with Canada’s finances is over.
Canadians have had it with the Trudeau government’s irresponsible spending. One of the reasons Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s popularity has taken a nosedive is because Canadians are sick and tired of his government’s debt and deficits.
Nolte: Golden Globe Ratings Down 45 Percent Over Five Years
Don’t buy the fake headlines. The Golden Globes might have climbed out of its dismal 2021 and 2023 ratings, but the award show is still down 45 percent in the ratings compared to just five years ago.
Loblaw apologizes after underweighted meat sold in Western Canada stores
Loblaw is apologizing after the grocer confirmed some meat products sold in stores across Western Canada were underweighted compared with what was posted on the label, leading to some customers being overcharged.
The grocer confirmed the discrepancies to Global News after the problems were exposed in a CBC News investigation published Thursday.
Ultimate immigration taboo has been broken: Time to admit that, indeed, not all cultures are equally valid
Should Britain, as has been suggested by Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, block immigrants coming from countries with “backward, frankly mediaeval attitudes to women”? He’s been backed by leader of the Conservatives Kemi Badenoch, who has previously said that not all cultures are “equally valid” and that immigrants need to “love this country”.
These comments have been driven by the recent furore in Parliament over the rape gangs. Jenrick, among others, has argued that these crimes happened in part because many of the perpetrators came from “alien cultures”, which have very different attitudes to women – to say the least.
Justin Trudeau Announces His Resignation: What Americans Need to Know
By now you have likely heard that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he will be resigning from his post as the leader of Canada and the Liberal Party of Canada. He made the announcement on Monday and stated that he intends to stay on as leader until a replacement can be found.
The resignation comes after mounting pressure from within and without his party has pushed him to the point of no return. His popularity is at an all-time low, and the Liberals who presently have 153 members of Parliament (MP), are projected to win so few seats in the next election that they may be able to drive to work together in an airport shuttle van. According to surveys, Trudeau has become Canada’s “worst prime minister.”
Where’s the Water, Gavin?
When fire fighters at the scene of the catastrophic Pacific Palisades fire got the wrenches out to open the fire hydrants…they were dry. And that, friends, is the avatar for all that is wrong with the incompetent leadership of Los Angeles and the state of California: a dry fire hydrant.
These houses are worth Millions. I wonder if they will get treated like the people in North Carolina?

People have to go to jail.
The firefighters risking their lives to saves our homes deserve the highest praise and gratitude. The politicians who deprived them of the means to do their job, and literally left them using purses to quell the conflagration should be in prison. pic.twitter.com/f8HT7IrNlY

Shame on Us for Ever Believing Him
Justin Trudeau convinced me he was a sunny patriot who’d unify Canada. What I got instead was a cynical culture warrior who smeared opponents as bigots and defamed my country as a genocide state.
There are no term limits in Canadian politics. While this may sound like a boon to ambitious politicians, it’s actually something of a curse, as it allows them to cling to power long after their stars have dimmed and their legacies have been compromised. This is why ex-prime ministers and ex-premiers (Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien being two examples from the former category) are relegated to somewhat grubby professional after-lives as corporate pitch men and lobbyists in their dotage.

Germany: More than half a million homeless, new report says

FILDEBRANDT: Trudeau’s post-national state is now prey to become a post-state nation
“Spare me the false sense of duty to country. Spare me the beseechment to defend what you have defiled. Trudeau’s post-national state is now prey to become a post-state nation.”
Soon after becoming prime minister in 2015, Justin Trudeau declared that Canada as a distinctive nation, was dead.
‘‘There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. There are shared values — openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other, to search for equality and justice. Those qualities are what make us the first post-national state.’’

The man who could become Canada’s future PM
At 20 years old, Pierre Poilievre already had a roadmap for Canada.
Canada’s Conservative Party leader – now 45 – laid out a low-tax, small government vision for the country in an essay contest on what he would do as prime minister.
“A dollar left in the hands of consumers and investors is more productive than a dollar spent by a politician,” he stated.
Poilievre is one step closer to making his vision a reality, and even gave a nod to the essay in a recent interview with conservative psychologist and commentator Jordan Peterson.
Islamophobia definition adopted by Labour bars talk of Asian grooming gangs, says Badenoch
Labour’s definition of Islamophobia bars discussion of grooming gangs, Kemi Badenoch has told MPs.
The Tory leader used Prime Minister’s Questions to ask Sir Keir Starmer to cancel his party’s adoption of the definition used by the all-party parliamentary group on British Muslims.
The definition warns against using symbols and images associated with Islamophobia to “characterise Muslims as being ‘sex groomers’.”
Is Trudeau’s resignation enough to keep Liberals in power?

Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol rioter arrested in Whistler
An American fugitive’s snowboard trip to Whistler was cut short this week, four years to the day after he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol building with throngs of rioters.
Antony Vo, 32, arrived in Whistler on Christmas Eve after reportedly entering the country via Saskatchewan. Claiming political persecution, Vo filed for refugee asylum, as he awaited President-elect Donald Trump to take office and fulfil his promise to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters.
