Conservatives, Liberals in behind-the-scenes negotiations as PM downplays election talk

Liberals and Conservatives are working out a path that could keep the government in power, sources tell CBC News, while Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to downplay the likelihood of a spring election.

Asked on Monday whether an election was coming, Carney demurred.

“It’s time to do a lot more work. We’ve got a lot of work to do,” he told CBC News on his way into West Block.

But behind the scenes, Liberals and Conservatives have been working on potential deals that could end a parliamentary gridlock and potentially avoid a second federal election in 12 months, three senior Liberal and Conservative sources said.


Someone is lying. Sorry misinformed.

Woke aide to NYC’s socialist mayor boasted of her hatred for ‘white women behavior’

An aide to New York City’s socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani boasted her hatred of ‘white woman behavior’ on social media after she received a dirty look for taking a 40 minute phone call on the train.

Hollywood Is Sick — but It’s L.A. That’s Dying

Hollywood as we know it is sick — not the kind of sick you might usually think of with the woke agenda pushing, child-actor grooming, and all the rest — but the “sick and dying” kind of sick.

Netflix’s Chief Global Affairs Officer warned Monday that Hollywood will suffer billions of dollars worth of job losses if rival Paramount Skydance succeeds in buying Warner Bros. Discovery out from under the streaming giant’s buyout bid.

Canada’s Mark Carney Can’t Even Challenge American Hegemony Without American Help

Sometimes a punchline arrives a few weeks after the joke.

A little less than three weeks ago, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the globalist media swoon by standing on a stage in Davos and declaring the sudden new limits of American power. For years, Carney said, American hegemony was a stabilizing force in the world, so other countries tolerated America’s many failures to live up to its declared ideals — in Carney’s words, “the gaps between rhetoric and reality.”

The End of Atlanticism

Trump’s realists are reorienting American power from Europe to the Indo-Pacific.

Government bureaucracies change very slowly. There is a tendency among governments — call it bureaucratic inertia — to keep doing what you have been doing for decades, even in the face of changed conditions. The United States emerged from the Second World War with a globalist outlook because, alone among the world’s great powers, it escaped the worst consequences of that war and faced a global ideological and geopolitical challenge from the Soviet Union. Those circumstances created in the United States an Atlanticist outlook that prioritized Europe over Asia with the Marshall Plan and the formation of NATO.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘thank goodness you’re stopping’ Epstein, called Ghislaine Maxwell ‘evil’ in 2006 phone call: FBI document

Donald Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein — and told him to “focus on” the disgraced financier’s “evil” accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a newly released FBI document.

According to the summary of an October 2019 interview of Michael Reiter, who served as the wealthy Florida enclave’s top cop from 2001 to 2009, the future president was “one of the very first people to call when people found out” that authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with girls as young as 14 whom he had hired to give him massages.

Finally, Some Journalisming! NY Times Front-Pager Exposes Epstein Ties to Clinton Machine

Turns out even a broken clock can get it right twice a day. The New York Times just plastered their front-page with an exposé connecting the sadistic Jeffrey Epstein empire with the politically radioactive Clintons.
