Pierre Poilievre outlines goals, strategy, key players in Jordan Peterson interview

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre gave a lengthy interview to psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson, touching on his vision for Canada and how he plans to implement it.

The interview was recorded on Dec. 21, five days after former finance minister and deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from the Liberal cabinet.

Since then, opposition parties like the Conservatives and the NDP have vowed to bring down the government at the earliest opportunity through a vote of no confidence, which would likely trigger a snap election — something Poilievre briefly discussed with Peterson.

New York Could Soon Regret Legalizing Marijuana

Linking any specific crime to pot use is difficult, but there certainly seem to be enough weed-related incidents to question whether legalization was wise.

New York City ended 2024 with a series of horrific subway incidents. Just days before Christmas, Debrina Kawam, a troubled New Jersey woman, was set on fire and burned to death by Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. Kawam had apparently been sleeping on an F train at the Stillwell Avenue station in Coney Island—a common gathering place for the homeless—when Zapeta-Calil used a lighter to ignite her clothing. Afterward, he reportedly sat on a bench to watch the flames.

If Trudeau announces he’s stepping down, expect another cabinet shuffle, say Liberal sources

If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces he will step down when Liberals meet for a special caucus meeting this coming week, it could trigger another cabinet shuffle, say senior Liberal sources.

A top Liberal told The Hill Times that only two people, including Prime Minister Trudeau (Papineau, Que.), are aware of whether he intends to stay or leave. When asked if the second person is the PMO’s chief of staff Katie Telford, the top Liberal responded, “That’s a fair assumption.”

It is not uncommon for incumbent prime ministers to keep their exit plans confidential until the last minute to maintain control of the government and the narrative. Once this information becomes public, they lose control of the government immediately.

Adam Zivo: Alphabet soup acronyms are not helping the queer cause

In recent years, the Trudeau government has adopted the term “2SLGBTQI+” to refer to gender and sexual minorities. This is unfortunate, because not only is the acronym a sin against the English language, it is also terribly unpopular within the very communities it purportedly represents. We should trash it and immediately return to a less convoluted alternative.

Canada shouldn’t have an election with Trump about to take office, says drunk cat lady

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May says Canada should not go into a federal election with a second Donald Trump administration about to take office in Washington — an administration that could follow through on Trump’s threat to impose punishing tariffs on Canadian goods entering the United States.

“What happens with an election is that there is then only a caretaker role for whatever government is in place during the time the Trump White House is forming,” May told a press conference Friday morning.
