Is Mark Carney’s budget a Progressive Conservative budget?

Attempting perhaps to turn a story about his own leadership into a story about whether the Canadian news media have unfairly focused on dissent within the Conservative caucus, Pierre Poilievre challenged reporters on Wednesday to pay as much attention to the recent criticism levelled against the federal government’s budget by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith.

Of course, that Erskine-Smith might deviate from the Liberal government’s official line is hardly surprising at this point. The left-leaning Liberal backbencher has spent much of the past decade displaying a willingness to go his own way, so much so that many members of the parliamentary press gallery probably no longer consider it newsworthy when he does.

On the beach where Britons cross the Channel to shout at migrants

Migrant Horde in France are fed while awaiting transport to England

The voices are quiet at first and then loud all at once. On the vast empty beach of Gravelines in northern France, as an orange morning sun rips through grey clouds, two men prowl the dunes. In a few minutes they cross the beach, filming everything on a GoPro, iPhones in hand, stopping occasionally to pick at coats, trainers, sweatshirts, and empty teargas canisters that litter the sand.

Danny Thomas from Portsmouth and Ryan Bridge from Birmingham are filming content for their Instagram pages, one of which is “Raise the Colours”, the account behind this summer’s surge in Union Jacks, of which Bridge is a co-founder.

BERNARDO: Target criminals, not the compliant

CSSA members agree on three things:

Licensed firearms owners are heavily vetted by government and the RCMP;

Licensed firearms owners are statistically safer than serving police officers;

Most crime committed with firearms is the result of illegal guns smuggled across the border and then used by drug dealers, gangs and organized crime.

What you demand from government …

Zelensky vows energy sector overhaul after $100m corruption scandal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to “overhaul” state-owned energy companies, after a major corruption scandal engulfed the country’s energy sector.

Around $100 million (£76m) has been embezzled, anti-graft investigators said, causing outrage in a country where Russian attacks have resulted in crippling power outages.

“Alongside a full audit of their financial activities, the management of these companies is to be renewed,” Zelensky wrote in a post on X on Saturday.

Conrad Black: Conservative MPs leaving Poilievre shame themselves

There has been a good deal of nasty talk recently, especially in notoriously Liberal journalistic circles, about dissenters crumbling away from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre into the outstretched arms of the Liberal government, straining to scavenge itself into a parliamentary majority. The customary version is that the Liberals are rubbing their hands in glee at this anticipated Conservative disintegration but prayerfully hope that it will not shake out the Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, whom they believe to be a permanent doormat for them on the threshold of the prime minister’s residence, (if it is ever ready for reoccupation).

Zohran Mamdani and the ugly rebirth of the socialism of fools

Two events have been referred to as a ‘day of celebration’ by Western leftists in recent years. There’s Zohran Mamdani’s storming to power in New York City, which radicals across the Anglo-American world hailed as a stirring victory for millennial socialism. The other? The mass murder of socialists on a kibbutz in Israel.

BORG: Viral Remembrance Day clip exposes CAF’s lack of marching skills

Canadians did not need a leaked report, an auditor’s warning, or a parliamentary inquiry to tell them the Armed Forces are in trouble. All it watching them march, or rather, failing to do so.

The now viral CTV clip from the November 11, 2025 Remembrance Day ceremony in London, Ontario shows uniformed Canadian Armed Forces personnel attempting a solemn parade march.

Why do I imagine CAF deciding military style marching was too heteronormative colonial ding dong whatever.

True scale of America’s mutant meat scandal sparks alarm in government

Advisers to Robert F Kennedy Jr fear cloned meat and animal breeding could become a divisive issue inside the Make America Healthy Again movement.

The Daily Mail understands that the use of cloned animals in the US food supply is seen as a ‘complex problem’ among Kennedy allies.

The topic gained renewed attention this week when Canada announced it would allow cloned meat products to be sold in supermarkets without any disclosure – a practice the US has quietly permitted for nearly two decades.

Nigeria Is the “Global Epicenter of Violent Christian Persecution”

Jihadist violence continues to escalate in Nigeria. Christians in the country face systematic, targeted violence, primarily from Islamic terror groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), alongside radical Muslim Fulani factions. These groups explicitly target Christians through killings, kidnappings, sexual violence, and destruction of villages. The Nigerian government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the Islamic militants’ influence.

The violence against Christians in Nigeria has escalated sharply since at least 2011, with documented killings and attacks increasing steadily. Data from Open Doors show over 41,000 Christian deaths between October 2011 and September 2024, highlighting a prolonged and intensifying crisis.

Beijing-Born Alberta Lawyer Says ‘Wokeism’ in Canada Increasingly Resembling Communist China’s Ideological Tyranny

Alberta lawyer Roger Song moved to Canada 25 years ago from China to distance himself from a regime he says he could no longer live under.

Having witnessed the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre–when government forces opened fire on unarmed students demanding democratic reform–he says he saw Canada as a place of freedom where he and his family could start over. He was a law professor at Peking University at the time, and says he witnessed how the regime used its authority to suppress students’ “legitimate demands” for democracy.
