‘F— ICE’: Grammy Award Winners Spend Night Protesting Immigration Enforcement

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards last night on CBS was an endless stream of anti-ICE politics and left-wing hyperbolism.

Even before the show begin, celebrities showed up on the red carpet wearing pins with the words “ICE OUT.” Anti-ICE pins were a red-carpet trend at last month’s Golden Globe Awards as well.

Upon receiving awards, winners throughout the night used their speeches to protest Trump’s immigration policies.

Carney’s GST credit tweaks won’t fix Canada’s affordability crisis

Prime Minister Mark Carney is embracing the politics of economic tinkering, offering a rebranded, narrowly targeted GST credit top-up when Canadians need broad, structural relief. While the government says it is responding to the affordability crisis, modest tweaks to the GST credit will not deliver the kind of meaningful, universal relief that cutting income taxes would.

Conservatives, Poilievre seek to carry convention momentum back into Parliament

OTTAWA – Political analysts say the federal Conservatives and leader Pierre Poilievre have momentum coming off a unifying convention in Calgary but the party still has a hill to climb in Parliament to one-up Prime Minster Mark Carney and the Liberals.

The Conservatives wrapped up their three-day national convention on Saturday touting party unity. Poilievre easily passed his mandatory leadership review with 87.4 per cent support from delegates.

Pollster Nik Nanos said Poilievre’s result was “quite striking.”

Mandelson reported to police over files leaked to Epstein

Lord Mandelson has been reported to the police for leaking confidential Downing Street files to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Metropolitan Police has received referrals from both Reform and the SNP asking them to investigate the peer, who allegedly sent the documents when he was business secretary.

Documents released by the US justice department revealed that, in 2009, Lord Mandelson had forwarded an economic briefing for Mr Brown to Epstein captioning it: “Interesting note that’s gone to the PM.”


He hated Trump.

Was Mark Carney’s Davos speech a mistake if it upset Trump?

In an interview with an American television network this week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent volunteered some advice to Mark Carney.

“I would just encourage Prime Minister Carney to do what he thinks is best for the Canadian people, not his own virtue-signalling, because we do have a USMCA negotiation coming up,” Bessent said, using the American name for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement.

“He rose to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump message, and that’s not a great place to be when you’re negotiating with an economy that is multiples larger than you are and your biggest trading partner.”


I think Carney is priming the LPC for a snap election.

Pissing off Trump is just free campaign advertising for his gullible base.

It’s entirely possible he prefers China as a personally profitable alternative to the US.

The government’s definition of Islamophobia is too vague to protect freedom of speech, according to the founder of Tell Mama, a charity to address anti-Muslim hatred.

Fiyaz Mughal, who also set up Muslims Against Antisemitism and Faith Matters, joined others warning ministers in a letter that there were still “profound concerns” about the definition, despite it being watered down from initial proposals.
