Carney says he told Ontario premier not to run anti-tariff ad, apologized to Trump

GYEONGJU — Prime Minister Mark Carney says he told Ontario Premier Doug Ford that he didn’t think the province should run the ad campaign that’s being blamed for ending trade talks with the U.S.

When asked on Saturday what Ford’s response to that was, Carney said, “Well, you saw what came of it.”

The prime minister also confirmed he did apologize to U.S. President Donald Trump because Trump was “offended” by the ad.

Joy Reid calls for Mar-a-Lago to be turned into ‘Black LGBTQ museum’ to avenge Trump’s White House demolition

Ousted former MSNBC star Joy Reid called for an extreme response to President Donald Trump’s demolition of the White House’s East Wing – including converting his Mar-a-Lago residence into a museum for black and LGBT people.

‘I pray that a future president if we still have a democracy will erase every trace of Trump’s existence,’ she wrote in a post on Bluesky.

‘Raze every edifice he’s built; strip his name from everything, restore the White House as if he never lived there & turn Mar-a-Lago into a Black, LGBTQ, women’s, AAPI & immigrant history museum.’

SCC cuts pedophiles a break

Mandatory minimum child pornography sentences unconstitutional, SCC rules

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada says the one-year mandatory minimum jail sentences for accessing or possessing child pornography are unconstitutional.

In a ruling today, the top court says although the sentences contribute to the objectives of denunciation and deterrence, they also remove judges’ discretion to impose sentences other than imprisonment when appropriate.

The decision affirms a ruling of the Quebec Court of Appeal, which said the mandatory minimum sentences violated the Charter guarantee against cruel or unusual punishment.

Why Male Teachers Left Elementary Schools And Won’t Go Back

Men are disappearing from the education landscape in America. In 1970, about 30 percent of America’s elementary teachers were male; by 2021, the number had dipped to 11 percent. Similar or even steeper drops happened at middle and high school levels.

The absence of men creates a harmful imbalance in how America’s children are educated. Men, however, did not depart willingly. They were driven out by the increasing feminization of schools, producing a vicious cycle of female-dominated schools.

Two-tier public safety protects illegal immigrants and terrorises law-abiding Britons

THE Home Secretary has posted no reaction to the unprovoked knife killing of Wayne Broadhurst in Uxbridge for which an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan has been arrested. Days earlier, Shabana Mahmood had pledged another £10million towards private security for Islamic institutions.

Nobody in government is posting calls to take a knee for Wayne Broadhurst, or to ‘say his name’.

John Ivison: Suddenly, Canada seems serious about defence after years of military neglect

The sight of Prime Minister Mark Carney emerging from a South Korean submarine flying the Maple Leaf flag this week was symbolic of the urgency with which the prime minister appears intent on restoring the rusting Canadian Armed Forces.

Carney was in the country to attend the Asia-Pacific Co-operation summit and took the opportunity to visit the Hanwha Ocean shipbuilding facility in Geoje. The Hanwha Ocean company, with its partner Hyundai, is bidding for the multi-billion-dollar contract to build 12 subs to replace the four second-hand Victoria class boats that the Canadian government bought from the British in the 1990s.

Will the Civil War Start in California, Chicago or New York?

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, whose Day One memo had ordered prosecutors to give armed robbers a pass, has announced that he’s looking into prosecuting ICE agents.

While Bragg had let a man accusing of raping a teenage girl go with 30 days and probation so that he went on a “sex-crime spree” attacking four different women until one of his victims hit him on the head with a hammer, he aggressively pursued President Trump and subway hero Daniel Penny who had prevented a crazed homeless man from attacking fellow passengers.

Why are councillors in London running for office in Bangladesh?

Tower Hamlets

The east-London borough of Tower Hamlets has long been a byword for the failure of multiculturalism in the UK, with the area’s large Bangladeshi Muslim population increasingly voting along ethno-religious lines.

Reports on Friday that members of the local council are seeking election in Bangladesh are therefore, to put it mildly, not a good look. According to the Standard, three Tower Hamlets councillors have won the endorsement of the Bangladeshi National Party to fight the 2026 elections, slated for February. The Westminster government has described it as ‘unacceptable’, but so far the councillors are unrepentant. A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets council has insisted that the councillors have broken no law, in England or Bangladesh.
