One of the quirky delights of the era of Late Liberalism is watching Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Marc Miller play the hard-nosed mafia “cleaner” trying to create a semblance of order after a decade of flawed Liberal immigration policy. Miller has now been handed a case of high political temperature with the July arrests of accused father-and-son terrorists from Toronto who were supposedly preparing a murder rampage. The father, who obtained Canadian citizenship sometime after 2015, has been identified as having a documented background as a torturer for ISIS; the son is not a citizen.

Canada is so fecked.
Not so long ago we went to politicians for politics and comedians for comedy. Today, like many others, I watch politicians for amusement and listen to comedians for their political insights.
Whenever I want cheering up, I watch Kamala Harris riffing on a theme of her choice, or sometimes a Labour politician trying to explain why a woman can have a penis. By contrast Joe Rogan analyses political questions better than any of them, as does Noam Dworman, of New York’s Comedy Cellar.

The Washington Post’s Fatal Force tool can be useful, but its mistakes reinforce a false narrative.
According to Fatal Force, the Washington Post’s police-shooting database, Virgil J. Wolford, Jr. of Columbus, Ohio, was killed by police on April 30, 2018. Except he wasn’t. Wolford, Jr. was, in fact, non-fatally shot by the Columbus police after stabbing a woman and pointing a shotgun at officers. In 2019, he received a three-year prison sentence (which he appealed, and lost, in 2020). He died in his home in April 2023.
Any police use of force, especially deadly force, is a grave matter. But the reason that videos of police shootings tend to go viral is that they are quite rare—and the unjustified or even questionable use of deadly force is rarer still. Our calculations—based on the annual average of police–public contacts from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Police Public Contact Survey in 2015, 2018, and 2020, and on the annual fatal shooting counts of the Post database—show that police use force of any type in less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all 911 calls. Less than 0.002 percent of police encounters each year result in a fatal shooting by police.
There are two economies in Canada right now. In one, employment rebounded smartly after the pandemic maelstrom in the spring of 2020, recovering lost jobs by September of that year. In the other, it took until November, 2021 to rebound.
In one, the number of jobs has jumped by 18 per cent between February, 2020, and last month. In the other, the number of employees has risen by a third of that amount, just 6 per cent.
That first economy is the public sector; the second is the one that has to pay for the rapid expansion of the first – the private sector. The most recent data from the Labour Force Survey from Statistics Canada underscore the outsized growth in the number of public sector employees, particularly since the onset of the pandemic.
Will this ever happen or will it become yet another perennial unfulfilled wish of Canadian conservative politics like defunding the CBC or right-sizing immigration?
Paris. June 9. 8pm. The results of the European Parliament elections were made public. in In France, the party of President Emmanuel Macron garnered 14.6% of the vote, 8 points less than in 2019; the French population had turned away from Macron. The Socialist Party came out with 13.8% of the vote and Rebellious France, a far-left party, 9.89% of the vote. The moderate right party, The Republicans, received only 7.25% of the vote and continued to slide towards insignificance. The right wing National Rally received 31.3% of the vote, 10 points more than in 2019, an extremely high result for a long-marginalized party.
In a quiet corner of a bustling Toronto methadone clinic, Dr. Robert Cooper shared a sobering reflection on the state of Canada’s opioid crisis, which he believes is being fuelled by reckless “safer supply” programs.
A significant new Media Research Center poll finds that large majorities of registered Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 — exactly those who would be expected to support Vice President Kamala Harris in this year’s contest — are mostly in the dark about many of the controversial and radical positions Harris has taken.
Canada isn’t a country, so much as an elaborate program for distributing public money to a handful of manufacturing companies in southern Ontario. It doesn’t matter if the government in Ottawa is Liberal or Conservative. And it doesn’t matter if whatever is being manufactured is something people want to buy. The existence of industries in other parts of the country, such as oil and gas in Alberta, that thrive largely without subsidies only seems to reinforce Ottawa’s need to coddle Central Canada.

Fred Hahn shared a video Sunday of a diver at the Paris Games. It shows the athlete with a prominent Star of David on their arm jumping off the diving board before turning into a bomb that drops on innocent civilians. The narrator in the video calls the diver an ‘Olympic champion.’

OTTAWA – The Liberal government is refusing to say if it approved a bonus for the head of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., as Opposition Conservatives demand answers and New Democrats call for a ban on bonuses.
It is up to the federal government to approve a bonus for Catherine Tait following a review of her performance and recommendation by the board of directors at CBC/Radio-Canada.
CBC deferred questions to the federal government. Canadian Heritage, which oversees the Crown corporation, then deferred questions to the Privy Council Office, which supports cabinet and the prime minister.
“… Make sure to BOYCOTT the Snow White movie as they have cast an Israeli terrorist Gal Gadot in the film. She is a trained killer who served in the Israeli degenerate forces. Don’t let Zionist terrorists normalize this EVER!” wrote another.
Rachel Zegler, Gadot’s co-star playing Snow White, posted a “Free Palestine” flag on her X feed. “Always remember, free Palestine,” she wrote.
Now that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party have joined the chorus calling for more action against Chinese imports, a key decision facing Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland this month just got a little easier.
Cross-party consensus on the wisdom of lining up with the Biden administration’s incoming tariffs on made-in-China electric vehicles provides the government with more political cover. But there’s still a risk of incoming flak.
To understand how complicated this gets, consider how then-president Donald Trump’s earlier campaign against Chinese state-sponsored overproduction played out for the United States and its trading partners in what was then NAFTA, now the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). That policy debate got very confusing for voters who like to slot politicians on a predictable left-right axis.
Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies.
News: Harris to propose “federal ban on corporate price-gouging” on groceries and “impose stiff penalties in the food industry,” campaign announces.
