As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government prepares to announce the first projects of national interest it has selected, Radio-Canada has learned that no oil pipeline is on the list, according to three sources that have spoken to Radio-Canada.
“There is no [oil] pipeline project on the table,” one of them said, despite the federal government’s promise to make Canada an “energy superpower.”
Carney has never ruled out the idea of supporting the construction of a new pipeline.
Don’t black lives matter to Democrats anymore?
The number of dead in their city quietly passed 300 even while Illinois Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson protested President Trump’s plan to send the National Guard to Chicago.
In Chicago, a person is currently shot every 4 hours and murdered less than every 20 hours. As I write this, the death clock has already passed 300 and stands at 303. The number of people who have been shot is at 1,399 and by the time you read this, will be well past 1,400.
VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced the launch of a Major Projects Office dedicated to accelerating nation-building initiatives. Most would agree Canada can and must unlock its vast potential to secure prosperity and safety. But if the serious vulnerabilities outlined here remain unaddressed as Ottawa prepares to push forward with this transformative plan, hidden outcomes that undercut transparency and security could undermine the very purpose of Carney’s effort—to rebuild a stronger nation.
The key unresolved matters involve vulnerabilities to foreign interference and the impacts of global money, along with a lack of protections for whistleblowers, while gaps in ethics and transparency persist.
If you haven’t followed Charlie Kirk’s time as a Republican influencer in the new right, you will at least recognize his face. He spent his media career — a high-profile one, though not a terribly long one at only 31 years old — making conservative arguments in an overall unreceptive media ecosystem.
This is how I feel too.
I should be in my bed but I just can't sleep.

Amber Vigh had taken the usual precautions when bringing her nine-year-old son, Carter, to summer camp in July 2023. There were no fires near their home in British Columbia, Canada. Her air quality app showed low levels of pollution. She could not smell any smoke.
Carter, a music-loving Lego enthusiast who had asthma, brought along his smiling shark tooth-patterned emergency kit that held an inhaler, allergy pill and EpiPen. When smoke did roll in from the north, Vigh took him indoors.
Wow our forests are a mass murderer!
An NBC poll found this week that male Donald Trump voters under the age of 30 rank “having children” first among 13 options when asked what is most important to their “personal definition of success”. Female Kamala Harris voters, by contrast, put “having children” in 12th place. Zoomer women were less likely than their male counterparts to rank children as important, but the bigger difference was between Trump and Harris voters.
Armed with Ivy League diplomas and cultural capital but locked out of wealth and status, this disaffected class is fueling America’s new radicalism.
In America, we love a rags-to-riches tale. Think of Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish immigrant who rose from bobbin boy to steel magnate; Oprah Winfrey, who grew up poor in rural Mississippi; even
Elon Musk, the awkward South African transplant who transformed himself into the richest man alive.
These stories are endlessly recycled because they affirm a central American creed: that each generation can surpass the one before.
Today, however, that creed is starting to creak. In 2025, the most combustible force in American society isn’t upward mobility, but its opposite.
Minutes before we went on air, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot on stage in Utah. A quarter-hour after the show ended, President Trump announced on Truth Social that Charlie was dead. As I write, the assassin has just been taken into custody.
Notwithstanding his meteoric rise, Charlie Kirk was still at the dawn of his brilliant career. As I said right at the end of the show, he was only seven at the time of 9/11. That was a rough guess on my part, but proved to be accurate: he died a month shy of his thirty-second birthday, leaving a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son who will grow up with no memories of their fearless father.
BREAKING: President Trump from the Oval Office has just addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk and declared he will go after those who perpetrate political violence.

The whackjob on trial for allegedly plotting to kill President Trump rolled out a list of witnesses he wanted to call to the stand, including the commander-in-chief himself, activist Mahmoud Khalil and a Secret Service agent he claims asked him to “spank/slap ass.”
Ryan Routh, the wannabe assassin charged with trying to gun down Trump on his Florida golf course last year, filed the unhinged list of 24 witnesses on Sept. 2, calling Trump an “insecure ego idiot-mad fool.”
Routh is representing himself at his federal trial, which got under way with jury selection this week in Fort Pierce, Florida, despite having no formal legal training.
Food delivery apps are a harbinger of decline.
The Victorians were obsessed with the idea of the future.
Unlike the dystopias of the 20th century, crafted through the horrors of war and tyranny, the Victorian futurists imagined bright, mechanised utopias where technology delivered fairness, abundance, and joy.
Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward (1888) pictured Boston in the year 2000 as a land of equal wealth, credit cards, and benevolent corporations. William Morris, in News from Nowhere (1890), conjured a pastoral Thameside vista where the smog and industry of London was replaced with an artisanal commune in which government and money were no longer necessary.
A large crowd gathered outside the St. Catharines Courthouse, prompting police to shut down surrounding streets on Wednesday.
The demonstration coincided with the bail hearing of 25-year-old Daniel “Dani” Senecal, drawing public attention and widespread emotion over the nature of his alleged crimes and past record.
Outspoken British journalist Douglas Murray has a blunt take on Israel’s strikes in Qatar, targeting Hamas’s leadership. “The scandal is not that Israel acted, but that it had to.” In an interview in Montreal with National Post, Murray, the bestselling author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, offered a sharp and unapologetic view on Israel’s decision to target Hamas leaders in Doha.
You should go to the funeral.

On July 31, Kamala Harris announced she was publishing a memoir, titled 107 Days, to discuss her “intense, high-stakes” and ultimately failed presidential campaign.
Now The Atlantic has some excerpts from the book.
In the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, a group of Jewish students at Western University infiltrated two private group chats, belonging to Palestinian students and their allies in the London, Ont., community.
The students’ discoveries shine a light on what some opponents of Israel are saying to one another when they think no one’s watching. What they found in the chat histories is unsettling: a stream of Hitler memes, pro-Hamas videos and antisemitic cartoons. More alarming is the advice group chat members give each other on escaping detection. There are even tips on bringing knives to peaceful protests.
I’m shocked.
