Pierre Poilievre says he’d stand up to Donald Trump while taking a page from his playbook

Pierre Poilievre put out a series of holiday-themed posts on social media over the Thanksgiving weekend — photos of the family, praise for the work being done by food banks.

One post, however, departed from all the warm fuzziness. It was an endorsement of a petition from one of his MPs calling for an end to diversity, equity and inclusion programs in government. ”Sign here. End DEI. Restore the merit principle,” the Conservative leader said.

Trump to meet Putin after President threatened to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine

Donald Trump has said that he will meet with Vladimir Putin in Hungary to discuss ending the Ukraine war after the two leaders held a phone call on Thursday.

The date is yet to be determined. The call came after Trump threatened to send long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and as the president prepares to welcome Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House on Friday.

The US leader posted on his Truth Social platform: ‘I am speaking to President Putin now. The conversation is ongoing, a lengthy one, and I will report the contents, as will President Putin, at its conclusion. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’

Poilievre blasts ‘despicable’ RCMP leadership, accuses Mounties of covering up for Trudeau

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre took aim at the RCMP’s independence in a recent interview, calling the national police force’s leadership “despicable” and accused the national police force of covering up for the Liberal government and former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

“If the RCMP had been doing its job and not covering up for him, then he would have been criminally charged,” the Opposition leader said in an interview posted to YouTube on Wednesday.

Speaking to the YouTube channel Northern Perspective, Poilievre said Trudeau broke the law when he took a free vacation, a reference to the 2016 Aga Khan scandal.

Toronto renters should make about $44 hourly to comfortably afford a one-bedroom apartment: report

If a renter in Toronto wants to dedicate about a third of their paycheque to a one-bedroom apartment each month, they should be making roughly $44 an hour.

That’s according to Zoocasa, a real estate website, which crunched the numbers after several provinces recently raised their minimum wages to keep pace with the rising cost of living.

As of Oct. 1, Ontario raised that wage to $17.60 per hour, reflecting a $0.40 increase from the previous rate.

Trump Is Europe’s Alarm Clock

His return is shaking Europe awake from decades of elitist policies and woke ideology.

Europe today is the spoiled brat of the West. The sulky teenager who rebels against everything he’s supposed to obey, who governs from daydreams divorced from reality, and who’s forever trying to dodge responsibility. Europe reminds me of myself at 15, when I used to hide in my room playing video games just to avoid going out to buy bread. My life was pure misery: Dad always found me. Then I fell in love with the new baker. I still remember those blue eyes. My parents were astonished that I suddenly wanted to buy bread six times a day. She was drop-dead gorgeous. But that’s another story.

Canterbury Cathedral Surrenders to the Vandals

If any institution in the world provides evidence of Freud’s concept of the death instinct, it is the Church of England. With unfailing aim, it does whatever will hasten its demise, already quite advanced. Shortly after it appointed Sarah Mullally as Arch Social Worker (formerly Archbishop) of Canterbury, it proceeded to vandalize its mother church, Canterbury Cathedral, not by forbidding but by actually commissioning graffiti on its ancient columns, incensing almost everyone but a small coterie of evangelical Wokeists.

Canadian refugee applicant in ICE custody says he crossed border accidentally

OTTAWA — A Canadian refugee applicant from Bangladesh who is being held in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Buffalo says he crossed the border into the U.S. by mistake — and now Canada won’t take him back.

Mahin Shahriar told The Canadian Press he entered the U.S. on May 12 after what he believes was a human trafficking attempt.

Shahriar said he was struggling with depression and “a friend” offered him a place to stay for a few days near Montreal.

Qatar and Turkey Want to Rebuild Hamas, Not Reconstruct Gaza

If Qatar and Turkey are permitted to play a major role in the governance and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas war, it would mean a return to the pre-October 7, 2023 era, which saw the Iran-backed terror group fully controlling the coastal territory. In addition to Iran, Qatar and Turkey have long been sponsoring and funding Hamas and providing the terror group’s leaders with shelter.

LILLEY: Toronto needs serious mayor to replace bat-flipping Chow

Mayor Olivia Chow needs to stop dancing, stop talking tacos, stop doing bat flips and calls to the Blue Jays and get to work turning this city around.

If she can’t do that, she needs to get out of the way and let someone else take the helm at City Hall to do what needs to be done. Of course, the same could be said of those filling the council seats as well.
