Climate Climbdown: Sacrificing the Canadian Economy for Net Zero Goals Others Are Abandoning

In 2015 the newly elected Justin Trudeau government signed the Paris Climate Agreement, which commits signatory countries to “increasingly ambitious climate action” aimed at limiting the forecast increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C by the end of the century. The following year Trudeau’s Liberal government imposed the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, which included more than 50 measures aimed at “reducing carbon emissions and fostering clean technology solutions.” Key among them was economy-wide carbon “pricing” – Liberal-speak for taxes on Canada’s industries and every citizen.

Trump to Britain: ‘If you don’t get them out, you’re not going to have a country left’

‘If you don’t get them out you’re not going to have a country left’: Donald Trump says Britain should deport illegal immigrants as soon as they arrive – and that Europe ‘is not the same place’ anymore

US President Donald Trump has said the UK must follow America’s hard line on immigration or ‘you’re not going to have a country left’.

He praised his own immigration policies, claiming he had reduced people entering the US illegally to ‘zero’, adding the UK must ‘take [migrants] back immediately’.

Speaking to GB News, he called for Keir Starmer’s government to deploy the military to tackle the small boats problem in a wide-ranging interview that also saw him threaten again to sue the BBC for up to $5 billion.

A poor soul named Kristine in the office of B.C.’s Premier David Eby may have the worst job in Canada.

Here are four ways Mark Carney can dodge an election and pass his budget

OTTAWA — Heading into the weekend before a crucial budget vote, it was not clear how Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority Liberal government would survive a confidence showdown on Monday and prevent a snap election during the upcoming holiday season.

Two sources told the Star on Friday that the government had no assurances how Monday’s confidence vote on this month’s federal budget will go. But the Liberals are still projecting optimism that their minority administration can win the vote and proceed with a $581-billion spending plan that opposition parties have criticized for its big deficits and tens of billions of dollars in spending cuts.

No concessions to the 200 trapped Hamas terrorists

Recent news items reported that Israel is being pressured to allow 200 hundred Hamas terrorist trapped in an underground tunnel in Israeli-controlled Gaza to have free passage to the Hamas side of the ceasefire line. This is not a joke. It is serious, deadly serious.

Along with all Israelis and Jews, and as a former hostage myself, I would like to express my profound appreciation and gratitude to Prime Minster Netanyahu and to President Trump for their successful effort to end the recent fighting in the Middle East and bring home the remaining living hostages. We anxiously await the return of the last of the murdered hostage’s bodies.

Let em rot.

The scandal that could bring down Volodymyr Zelensky

A solid gold toilet and cupboards loaded with bagfuls of €200 bills are among the treasures linked to the prominent Ukrainian businessman Timur Mindich, after an investigation by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu). Mindich is big in real estate, fertilisers, banking and diamond trading – but he is best known as a long-time co-owner of Volodymyr Zelensky’s Kvartal 95 television production company. Nabu’s 15-month long investigation into what it describes as ‘high level’ corruption at the top of Ukraine’s political elite is likely to have momentous consequences for Zelensky’s political future.

SNOBELEN: Canada’s crisis requires bold action, not Carney’s timid budget

You can tell a lot about a government by how it embraces a crisis.

Canadians deserve leadership that seizes crises as opportunities, not policies that play it safe. Yet the Carney Liberals’ first budget demonstrates timidity instead of bold action.

They’re managing the decline in the hope we won’t go berserk on them.

What will the federal government’s Major Projects Office do — and will it succeed?

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced this week a second round of projects he’s recommending get fast-tracked by his government’s Major Projects Office (MPO) as part of his promise to reduce Canada’s economic reliance on the United States.

Thursday’s announcement saw multibillion-dollar energy and natural resources proposals brought to the top of the pile, but there are still questions about what a referral to the MPO actually means.

Part of the confusion lies in the government’s choice of language. So far, Carney has referred projects to the MPO that he’s deemed of “national importance” or “national significance.”

Couric and Burns Lament Left’s Declining Influence In History Education

Ken Burns Revisionist-Historian

Bad camera angles were not the only thing wrong with former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric’s Friday interview with PBS documentarian Ken Burns on her Substack page. After spending much time on Burns’s upcoming series on the American Revolution, the pair moved on to discuss the state of history education in the country more broadly, which Couric described as “going backwards” and Burns labeled as being in “an autocrat’s interest.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order to exempt a wide range of food imports, including beef, tomatoes, coffee and bananas, from sweeping tariffs imposed earlier this year on nearly every country, the White House said.
