Majority of Ontarians say their province is heading in the wrong direction: poll

Just one-third of Ontarians say their province is heading in the right direction, according to a new Leger poll.

The polling finds that, despite Premier Doug Ford having an approval rating of 45 per cent, a majority — 55 per cent — of Ontarians believe the province is on the wrong track. Only 33 per cent say the province is on the right track.

“There’s been a shift in moods in Ontario. Ontarians are growing more pessimistic,” said Jennifer McLeod Macey, Leger’s senior vice-president of public affairs.

Daughter of man infamously shot by Dick Cheney gives VERY sarcastic tribute

The daughter of a businessman infamously shot by Dick Cheney could not contain her disdain for the late former vice president in the wake of his death.

Sally May Whittington, the daughter of businessman Harry Whittington, told the Daily Mail that her father being shot by Cheney in 2006 was an ‘unfortunate incident’ that defined her family’s public life.

Asked if she had any thoughts on the shooting following Cheney’s passing, Sally said: ‘We’ve been having thoughts on it since February 11, 2006.’

Bryan Brulotte: The Canadian Armed Forces are not systemically racist

This past week, Gen. Jennie Carignan, Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff, tearfully apologized for what she called “systemic racism and racial discrimination” in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). The intention was noble. Yet the sweeping assertion that the CAF is “systemically racist” demands closer scrutiny.

OLDCORN: Is Ottawa trying to censor the Bible? Liberals’ assault on Christianity continues

If you told Canadians ten years ago their government would be debating the censorship of the Bible, most would have laughed.

Now, thanks to Liberal MP Marc Miller, the joke’s over.

Mark Carney apologized to Trump. That is troubling for many reasons

So it turns out we really are those people, the ones who say “sorry” when someone steps on our foot, the ones who can’t stop apologizing when we’ve done something wrong or even — especially, really — when we haven’t.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said over the weekend that he apologized to Donald Trump for those Ontario TV ads that used the words of Ronald Reagan to highlight the fact that the U.S. tariff war against Canada will leave both sides worse off.

Don’t fear the bogeyman

Britain is beset by a bogeyman. A giant, mystical beast that the public are forever being threatened with. Remember last year when a young Welsh choirboy stabbed three young girls to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport? Long before we were allowed to know the name of the culprit – Axel Rudakubana – we were warned about a much greater menace: a rallying by the ‘far right’. After impromptu protests and some rioting broke out in various cities, we were promised on an hourly basis that the ‘far right’ was mobilising.

Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont resigns from Conservative caucus to join the Liberals

Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont resigned from the Conservative caucus Tuesday — and he’s joining the Liberals.

In a statement disseminated by the Liberal Party, d’Entremont said he decided to leave the Conservatives after “serious consideration and thoughtful conversations with constituents.”

“I came to a clear conclusion: there is a better path forward for our country — and a better path forward for Acadie-Annapolis,” he said.

After Liberals table a budget with few surprises, all eyes turn to the opposition parties

OTTAWA — After 18 months without a budget, the minority Liberals tabled a plan containing nearly $126 billion in new spending and $60 billion in savings, which they hope will convince at least one opposition party to prevent an early election.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne tabled his first budget in the House of Commons shortly after 4 p.m. on Tuesday, for what he said is a “true generational shift” in reaction to the new global economic landscape under U.S. President Donald Trump.

Some highlights …

Federal budget breakdown: Mark Carney’s first budget, by the numbers

OTTAWA — Billed as a once-in-a-generation plan to fortify Canada for a wobbly and uncertain global economy, the federal government’s new budget devotes tens of billions of dollars in new spending to national defence, infrastructure and more.

This budget is a Trump survival plan. Here are the highlights

Donald Trump doesn’t appear by name in the 2025 federal budget, even if his One Big Beautiful Bill does get a mention, but the U.S. President has left his mark all over the 493-page document.
From the opening words, “The world is changing,” the Carney government’s first budget is a response to Mr. Trump’s trade war and the threat to Canada’s economy. That means ramped-up defence spending, measures to make Canadian businesses more competitive and billions in new investment around trade diversification.

“Overrun”: Washington’s Grim Verdict on Canada’s CCP Infiltration Crisis

OTTAWA — In his striking conclusion to Under Assault, former national-security analyst Dennis Molinaro reveals that U.S. government sources have privately described Canada as “overrun” with Chinese influence — the ultimate consequence of a fifty-year pattern, begun under Pierre Trudeau and seemingly accelerated by his son, of engaging the Chinese Communist Party on its own terms and to the detriment of Canadian sovereignty.

It’s a finding that resonates sharply as Justin Trudeau’s successor, Prime Minister Mark Carney renews deeper ties with Beijing amid Washington’s intensifying, security-driven tariff pressure on its allies.

The Armed Awakening of America’s Radical Left

Liberal Left Assassins

Unless you live under a rock — or teach gender studies — you won’t be surprised to find that people with strong left-leaning political attitudes score far higher on traits like neuroticism and psychopathy than many of their conservative counterparts. These psychological signatures — emotional volatility, heightened threat sensitivity, and explosive aggression — are more pronounced the further left you go. Add to that the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, the attempts on Donald Trump’s life, and a surge in gun purchases by self-styled progressive activists, and the picture turns even darker.

What worries me most about Mamdani

ZOHRAN MAMDANI, the self-described “democratic socialist” poised to become New York’s next mayor, doesn’t talk much about Israel on the campaign trail. He focuses on housing, policing, and wages – the city’s pressing local issues. Yet his long record of fervent anti-Zionist activism hangs in the air – troubling less for what it reveals about his platform than for what it reveals about the political culture that now embraces him.

Franco Terrazzano: To fix the CRA, the government must simplify the tax code

When the pitcher, batter, catcher, umpires and video-replay officials all have no idea what the call should be, that means it’s time to fix the rule book.

The Auditor General’s report on Canada Revenue Agency call centres shows that taxpayers don’t understand what’s going on and neither do the tax collectors because the rules are impossibly complex. The government needs to change the rule book by simplifying the tax code.
