New year, new prime minister—same failures. Mark Carney’s Ottawa looks just as weak and directionless as it did under Justin Trudeau, and Canadians are paying the price.
Despite the drama of 2025—Trudeau’s resignation, Carney’s rise to Liberal leader, an election fought on promises of competence, and Pierre Poilievre’s shock defeat—Canada has ended up right back where it started.
Sheriff who inspired ‘Walking Tall’ films killed his wife, authorities say
A sheriff whose crusade against corruption inspired a string of Hollywood films is now suspected by Tennessee authorities of killing his wife before 1973′s “Walking Tall” was released, in a dramatic fall for a small-town hero whose fabled deeds are honored with an annual festival and museum in his name.
Prosecutors said Friday they had enough evidence to posthumously accuse Buford Pusser, who worked as McNairy County sheriff from 1964 to 1970, of killing his wife, 33-year-old Pauline Mullins Pusser, in 1967.
Walking Tall must rank among the very best movies to watch at a Drive In.
It’s where I watched it along with my buddies and a 24.
The murder of a 17-year-old girl in Amsterdam by an asylum seeker has sparked outrage, mass demonstrations, and heated political debate ahead of October’s parliamentary elections in the Netherlands.
Lisa—whose full name has not been revealed—was fatally stabbed in the early hours of August 20th while cycling home from a night out in Amsterdam.
Despite calling the emergency services, she was found dead near the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Prosecutors have charged a 22-year-old asylum seeker with murder and rape, and he is also suspected of a sexual assault committed earlier in the month.
Canada’s budget watchdog is pressing Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne for updated figures on the true cost of Ottawa’s electric vehicle battery subsidies, warning taxpayers are being kept in the dark as the industry falters.
Budget Officer Yves Giroux wrote to the Department of Finance on August 14 asking for revised forecasts on both construction support and ongoing production subsidies.
There are Canadians who hoped that in voting for Mark Carney’s Liberals, some of some of Justin Trudeau’s social policies would survive. They are likely now wondering if this is the government that best represents them.
This is what some voters are now understanding after four months of watching Liberal Leader Mark Carney settle into the new role of prime minister.
Traditional NDP voters that went to the Liberals to prevent a Conservative government may be wondering where they can find the left-of-centre party, previously led by Justin Trudeau, that was making bold moves in health and environmental policy. The Liberals managed in this past election to turn seven NDP seats their way (though it should be noted that the Conservatives were more successful, and landed 10 NDP seats).
Link fixed
Ryan Routh, the man charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump last year in South Florida, is set to represent himself in a pretrial conference on Tuesday, as final preparations are made for his trial.
Canadian elections have become an auction for the votes of old age pensioners and the Boomer class, including primarily those who savor the privilege of indifference owing to the greater privilege of solvency. Indeed, the essence of Canadian elections has become the embedding of ideological programming for returns at the ballot box. Ultimately, as Michael Bliss writes in his history of prime ministers, Right Honourable Men, Canadian politics highlights “the relation between a paternal government and dependent citizens,” which has been ”expanded and abused” to the present day.

Ottawa vows to help Afghans hit by deadly earthquake as aid groups call out aid rest
OTTAWA – Ottawa says it’s ready to help Afghans in the wake of a deadly earthquake, even as one organization warns that Canada is making it hard to reach those living under Taliban rule.
The Taliban government says more than 1,400 people died and more than 3,000 were injured when the earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan on Sunday.
Canada’s Secretary of State for International Development Randeep Sarai says the news is “heartbreaking” and Ottawa is “ready to support the Afghan people with our humanitarian partners.”

Older economic models might overstate the costs of protection and understate its structural impact.
When Buchanan campaigned for the Republican presidential nomination in the 1990s, he made tariffs a central pillar of his platform. He warned that unchecked globalization would hollow out American industry, erode the middle class, and leave the nation vulnerable to economic dependence. His message resonated — he won the New Hampshire primary in 1996 and reshaped the conversation within the GOP.
So, where would the U.S. be today, economically, if it had adopted Buchanan’s ideas sooner — before Trump’s return to the White House?
President Trump shared dramatic footage of the US military obliterating a boat carrying drugs and Tren de Aragua gangbangers off the coast of Venezuela.
The video showed the small boat being blown out of international waters and exploding into flames after it was struck by a single missile on Tuesday, killing all onboard.

“The luckiest fucking guy in Canadian politics.” That’s what former Quebec premier Jean Charest reportedly called Mark Carney on the eve of this year’s federal election. He wasn’t wrong. When Carney started kicking the Liberal Party’s tires in late 2024, smart money was on Pierre Poilievre to win the next election. Poilievre had a double-digit lead in the polls, and Ottawa was bracing for the coming Tory revolution.
In an unprecedented move, the Arab League, which represents 22 Arab countries, on July 30, called on the Iran-backed Palestinian group Hamas to lay down its weapons and relinquish control of the Gaza Strip. Hamas rejected the call. How did the Arab countries respond to Hamas’s rejecting their request? Instead of calling out Hamas for causing death and destruction in the Gaza Strip, they condemned Israel.
Earlier this year, a senior Arab League official, Hossam Zaki, was quoted as saying that it would be in the interests of the Palestinian people if Hamas ceded control of the Gaza Strip. As usual, Hamas rejected the call. Since then — and before — the Arab League has repeatedly denounced Israel for fighting against the terror group responsible for the October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel, the worst crime against Jews since the 1940s.
Quebec has turned down funds aimed at addressing systemic racism in the courts
MONTREAL — The Quebec government has turned down federal funding aimed at combating systemic racism in the criminal justice system, saying it doesn’t agree with the program’s approach.
The federal government first offered $6.64 million in funding to provinces and territories in 2021 to improve fairness in the courts. Spread out over five years, the money was aimed at addressing the overrepresentation of Black people in the criminal justice system by promoting the use of race and cultural assessments before sentencing.
These assessments — known as Impact of Race and Culture Assessments, or IRCAs — analyze how a convicted person’s experience of systemic racism contributed to their criminal charges.
