OTTAWA — Filmmaker and activist Avi Lewis entered the NDP leadership race on Friday with a populist message, promising to champion “the many” over “the money.”
Lewis vowed in a slickly produced launch video to take the fight to the corporate oligarchs who are “hoarding extreme wealth (and) foreclosing on our shared future.”
Avi grew up a socialist princeling I never got the impression he was comfortable among the great unwashed.
Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into Charlie Kirk during a speech on Capitol Hill after Congress voted to honor the late conservative activist.
The House passed a resolution to honor Kirk and his legacy on Friday. It received broad bipartisan support, passing 310 – 58, with Democratic leadership voting for it.
AOC, along with other ‘Squad’ members, Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., voted against the measure.
AOC just sent an email attacking Charlie Kirk, calling his views “ignorant” and claiming they “sought to disenfranchise millions.”
This comes right after she voted no on a resolution honoring his legacy and calling it a “great pain” to Americans.

The Dutch parliament and the Hungarian government are moving to designate the far-left group Antifa as a terrorist organization, aligning themselves with the decision earlier this week by U.S. President Donald Trump. The move aims to curb escalating political violence across Europe and North America linked to Antifa networks.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada and Mexico are entering a “new era of co-operation” after announcing a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during a visit to Mexico City.
Carney stood alongside Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Thursday, pledging closer ties in trade, energy, and security as both countries seek to make North America “the most competitive, dynamic, and resilient economic region in the world.”

OTTAWA — Canadian automakers are warning they could be on the hook for billions of dollars in credit purchases if Canada’s electric vehicle mandate is enforced as written, and sales don’t ramp up.
Automakers already have deals lined up with companies like Tesla to buy credits to close expected gaps between sales and the targets set by the EV mandate. That could end up costing the industry more than $3 billion by 2030, Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association president Brian Kingston told the House of Commons international trade committee on Thursday.
Federal law enforcement agents used teargas and pepper balls to disperse a group of about 100 protesters, including two Democratic candidates for Congress, during a series of early morning clashes outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) building in Chicago on Friday.
Demonstrators had attempted to block a number of government SUVs from entering and exiting the facility, which has become an operating hub and detention location during an immigration crackdown in the Democratic city dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz”.

Legal manoeuvres in the Supreme Court of Canada may soon land the country in another constitutional crisis. Earlier this week, the Carney government, through Attorney General Sean Fraser, filed an intervention in the upcoming appeal on Quebec’s secularism legislation (Bill 21) at the Supreme Court.
Crucially, however, the federal government is not contesting the secularism law itself. Instead, it is urging the judges to impose novel restrictions on the use of the notwithstanding clause, which permits legislatures to shield laws from judicial review for a renewable period of five years. This legal argument, if accepted, would undo a key component of Canada’s constitutional settlement and further subordinate parliamentary government to adventurous exercises of judicial power.

Canada is facing an epidemic that most politicians simply won’t talk about – a staggering number of patients are left untreated because they leave emergency rooms rather than endure long wait times.
A new study from the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI) shows that, out of the 16.3 million visits Canadians made to emergency rooms in 2024, nearly 8% ended with the patient simply walking out without receiving treatment.

Tyler Robinson was Antifa, into alphabet ideology, had a furry boyfriend, and hated Charlie Kirk. He inscribed Antifa messages on his bullets and all his friends and family said he had veered far left over the past few years.
But National Public Radio can’t detect a political motive for his assassination of Charlie Kirk because we don’t know what he thought about labor issues and immigration policy.
Liberal streamer Destiny, who recently refused to disavow the politically-motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk, has been demonetized on YouTube.

It’s his admirers’ adulation, not the court’s decision to toss first-degree murder charges, that should concern us most.
Luigi Mangione appeared to get off easy on Tuesday. The judge overseeing his New York State prosecution tossed first-degree murder charges against Mangione, who stands accused of shooting health-care executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Outside, scores of adoring onlookers cheered for the apparent murderer.
It’s become popular in Mark Carney’s new Liberal government to talk in sports metaphors. The prime minister often sprinkles his speeches with hockey references and the timing of the next major-project announcements has been repeatedly framed around forthcoming tournaments, such as the Grey Cup.
There aren’t many sports, though, in which backward movement is equated with success — perhaps the reverse-running trend that was supposedly catching on a few years ago? So there isn’t a handy way to compare what’s happening in progressive politics in Canada to something in the sporting world.
But there’s no question — in fact, a column in this very newspaper declared it’s already a cliche to say it — that a backsliding in progressivism is under way in the federal post-election world in Canada.
It’s called policy for profit and it’s spelled ‘Brookfield’.
On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners, flew them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, murdering approximately 3,000 people and wounding thousands of others.
In 2012, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — the leader of ISIS — tasked Ahmed al-Sharaa (aka Abu Mohammad al-Julani) with forming a contingent of al-Qaeda in Syria. Sharaa then set up this al-Qaeda branch, naming it the Nusrah Front (Jabhat al-Nusra), and put into action taxing civilians, looting factories, and kidnapping civilians for hefty ransoms. At one point, the Nusrah Front was helping support the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq. In 2013, Sharaa declared the organization’s allegiance to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and expressed their “pride in the banner of the Islamic State in Iraq.”
This is not justice for a grieving family.
Craig MacDonald’s relatives burst into tears as his killer was sentenced to just nine years in prison — and with credit for pre-sentence custody, Abilaziz Mohamed has only 3.9 years left to serve.
