How rare is it for a prime minister to attract 4 floor-crossers in 4 months?

Floor-crossing has always been a feature of Canadian politics dating back to the first Parliament — and seeing four opposition MPs jump ship to join the government in a matter of months is rare but not unprecedented.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has only been in office for a year and is ranking near the top in terms of prime ministers who have had opposition MPs join his caucus during a parliamentary session.

John A. Macdonald, Robert Borden and Jean Chrétien attracted a swath of MPs to their respective governments — though all in vastly different circumstances.

Al-Quds rally in Toronto to proceed as planned despite Ford’s push to stop it, lawyer says

Fatima Ford is pleased her cousin’s interference was thwarted

… As of 8 p.m., Stephen Ellis, the legal counsel for the rally organizers, said he has not received a notice yet.

He told CTV News Toronto that the province won’t succeed in getting an injunction and is confident that the event will proceed.

“Mr. Ford is pandering to the most backward political elements in our society. What he’s looking to do is to pander to that section of people who are uncritically supporting Israel, no matter what it does. So, his tweet is a disgrace. I’m not surprised,” Ellis said.

Nanos survey says border crossing no longer ‘on the radar’ for many Canadians

A new survey from Nanos Research for CTV News found 43 per cent of Canadians are less likely to travel to the United States in 2026, compared to the previous year.

Thirty-eight per cent said they don’t vacation in the United States in general, while just four per cent said they are likely to spend more leisure time south of the border.

For many Canadians, “the U.S. is not on the radar in terms of a travel destination,” said Nik Nanos.

Our Long Road to War With Iran

Until last year, for some 46 years, Iran enjoyed a North Korea-like reputation in the heart of the Middle East: always unpredictable, reckless, dangerous, inevitably to be nuclear, self-destructive, and nihilistic.

All that said, was it really ever all that formidable?

LILLEY: What does Mark Carney’s majority mean for Pierre Poilievre’s future?

It looks like Pierre Poilievre is going to be stuck with the worst damn job in all of Canada for a while longer.

Between Lori Idlout’s decision to defect from the NDP to the Liberals and Mark Carney’s team sure to win at least two if not all byelections next month, the Prime Minister will get his majority and Poilievre will stay as opposition leader.

Special Report Putin, Iran, and Europe in a Post-NATO World

Russia and the Globalist left are working to diminish Trump’s hand in his latest high-stakes gamble with Iran. Moscow is helping Iran conduct surgical strikes in the Middle East while leftist governments in Europe slow-walk support for the U.S. and try to block American access to NATO bases.

Since launching Operation Epic Fury 10 days ago, the U.S. and Israel have destroyed Iran’s navy and air force, much of its missile capacity, layers of its genocidal leadership, and blown up Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities across the country. Trump is now threatening to target their energy infrastructure. But Vladimir Putin is enabling savage Iranian retaliatory strikes on the vulnerable Gulf Arab states hosting U.S. bases in hopes of leveraging them to support a Moscow-brokered peace deal that would frustrate U.S. objectives.

Canada welcomed 19 per cent fewer immigrants in 2025: ‘The cuts were quite asymmetrical’

After years of record-high immigration to Canada, significantly fewer immigrants were accepted into the country last year, a rare non-pandemic drop since 2015 when Justin Trudeau was elected prime minister.

There were 19 per cent fewer immigrants to Canada in 2025 than in 2024; that reflects a total of 393,530 new immigrants compared to 483,655 the year before, according to the latest federal government data.

The Liberal government lies about everything. The decline is likely overstated.

British Culture Under Attack—by Its Curators

Cool Graffiti at Canterbury Cathedral

From the countryside to Canterbury, the nation’s elites have contempt for all things English.

Picture the scene: gently rolling green hills, a babbling brook, sheep grazing in fields bounded by drystone walls. Perhaps a village sits in the distance, with honey-gold houses, church bells ringing, and, of course, a welcoming pub. The English countryside is celebrated worldwide—except, it seems, in England itself.

Where most people see a rural idyll, Britain’s bureaucrats spy a scandal. The countryside is a “white environment,” they complain. “White,” by their warped logic, means definitionally hostile to nonwhite people, which means racism, which is bad. So things must change. Last month, Britain’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) set out proposals to make the countryside more attractive to minorities, reportedly complete with “diversity targets.”

Maxime Bernier says Canada needs to ‘promote motherhood’ to combat low fertility rates

Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), said to combat low fertility rates, Canada must begin to promote “motherhood” from within the population and stop allowing so many immigrants into the nation unchecked.

“We must fix the conditions that prevent Canadians from having children,” wrote Bernier in a recent X post.

“We must promote motherhood.”

Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and His Extremist Problem

When the United States and Israel launched their joint operation against the Iranian regime this month, the geopolitical map of the Middle East shifted within hours. Iran’s leadership, strategic targets, command centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, ballistic missile launchers and nuclear facilities have been targeted in coordinated strikes aimed at dismantling Tehran’s terror machine.
