OTTAWA — Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney isn’t joining the federal Liberals, says new Trudeau government Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
The New Brunswick MP and Trudeau confidant says he’s been given assurances from the prime minister that he will remain the country’s finance minister.
“Carney is not an option,” LeBlanc said in an interview with Brunswick News.
This says Carney decided against the Shitshow Carnival.
The Vatican has found itself in an unprecedented financial crisis as of late and according to reports, it was caused by a decline in donations.
The Vatican, which is the global headquarters of the Catholic Church, may be on the brink of bankruptcy, according to the Daily Express. A combination of factors brought about the crisis, but many blame the management of Pope Francis, who became the 266th pope in 2013.

The resignation of Chrystia Freeland from cabinet on Dec. 16 again amplified divisions within the Liberal caucus on whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should stay on as leader, and some MPs previously mum on the matter are now speaking out.
Over 10 Liberal MPs have now publicly called on Trudeau to step down. This is still short, however, of the 23 who signed an internal letter in October calling for his resignation.
It appears at least some of the new voices being heard didn’t put their names on that letter and have changed their minds since the last internal crisis in the fall.
A New York man has pleaded guilty to running a undeclared police station for the Chinese government in lower Manhattan, more than a year after the US justice department unveiled efforts aimed at disrupting Beijing’s efforts to locate and suppress Chinese American pro-democracy activists.
Chen Jinping, 60, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiring to act as an agent of the government of the People’s Republic of China, in connection with opening and operating an overseas police station for the PRC’s ministry of public security, or MPS.
Chen, who pleaded guilty for acting as an illegal agent, faces five years in prison when he is sentenced next year.
None of his Canadian counterparts have even been looked at funny.
The family of a B.C. man with bipolar disorder and chronic back pain is suing the federal and provincial governments after he allegedly used a day pass from hospital to end his life with medical assistance.
In a lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court, the man’s family claims the 52-year-old — known as JMM — fell into a group of people whose concurrent physical and mental illnesses leave them “vulnerable” under Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) framework.
Mystery continues to swirl after nearly a month of drone sightings over New Jersey and other US states, alarming some residents.
US authorities have been unable to provide definitive answers, saying only that the objects are not believed to pose a danger to the public or national security.
On Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed the sightings included drones, as well as manned aircraft commonly mistaken for drones.
Federal polling projects a historical drop in support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, with one model suggesting the party could plummet to a mere 10 seats.
Polling Canada data puts Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives at 45% of the vote, the Liberals at 20%, Jagmeet Singh’s NDP at 18%, Yves-François Blanchet’s Bloc Québécois at 8% and Elizabeth May’s Green party and Maxime Bernier’s PPC each at 4%.
That’s 10 too many.
Police forces failed to understand the “extreme nationalist sentiment and aggravated activism” in numerous precursor events before riots broke out after the Southport stabbings, the policing inspectorate has said.
At least 302 officers were “pummelled and battered” when violent disorder flared in parts of England when Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, were fatally stabbed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the Merseyside town on July 29.
They also failed to spot Grooming Gangs, massive Hamas rallies, migrant crime waves and an illegal alien invasion but carry on.
The largest group of foreign nationals crossing the border illegally from Canada to the United States are from India, with a distant second being Chinese nationals. Federal authorities say that, in many cases, the foreign nationals have used “improperly” obtained visas to enter Canada before attempting to cross into the United States illegally.
Immigration Canada says it has taken measures to stem the abuse, which it says resulted in a marked drop of Canadian visa holders being intercepted south of the border.
A Spanish couple have been arrested on suspicion of murder after Google Street View cameras appear to have caught the man loading a body into the boot of his car.
Police renewed their investigation into the disappearance of a Cuban man in the tiny hamlet of Tajueco after Google published the image two months ago.
OTTAWA — Statements made earlier this week by an NDP MP added jet fuel to rumours that the New Democrats are running out the clock until their party leader becomes pension-eligible.
Speaking on CTV Power Play on Monday, New Westminster—Burnaby MP Peter Julian offered up a curious timeline for when the NDP would join opposition parties in toppling the government in a confidence vote.
He. Is. Not. Going. Anywhere!
Are you surprised? He’s not even talking to you. You — the public, the people, the voters, the men and women who thought that democracy entitled them to demand of their leader an accountability. He’s laughing at you.
Suck it up, the worst is yet to come.
It would not be unreasonable to conclude that America is incubating a generation that will mature into a horde of marauding barbarians eager to throw their civic inheritance away in a spasm of murderous rage. At least, that’s what the polling is telling us.
You’ll be relieved to know that even as time is running out for the Biden-Harris regime, White House apparatchiks are still hard at work for the American people, dealing with the real problems that affect our day-to-day lives. On Thursday, the regime happily announced the launch of what it billed as “the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate.” Now that’s just super, as everyone who knows how important it is for the government to police people’s attitudes and make sure they don’t commit thoughtcrimes, but the initiative, especially coming in these last days of the regime, raises more questions than it answers.The primary question is: why are Biden-Harris wonks launching policy initiatives? Unless the left throws us a massive curve on Jan. 6 or sometime before Jan. 20, which is possible but unlikely, the Biden-Harris regime has just under five weeks left before it is consigned to the dustbin of history. Are five weeks enough to stamp out “Islamophobia,” which the left has been whining about since even before 9/11? Or does the regime intend to give deep state bureaucrats marching orders that it will follow, under the radar, during the incoming Trump administration? Or is the whole thing just grandstanding?
San Francisco threw out its wokester mayor, London Breed, in favor of a more moderate alternative, and before that, its literally-Chavista district attorney, Chesa Boudin, raised by Bill Ayers, whose only interest was in prosecuting the police.
But the damage remains, and not just in the city’s abundant bums on the street doing drugs.
