After forcing the Liberals to scrap the consumer carbon tax earlier this year, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to get rid of “carbon tax 2.0.”
“We are making it a priority to boost take-home pay and reverse the Liberal cost of living crisis by opposing (Prime Minister) Mark Carney’s carbon tax 2.0,” Poilievre announced during his trip to the East Coast this week.
“Socialism is good…” a pensioner warbles into a portable karaoke mic, slightly off-key and drowned out by her friends’ chatter.
But they join her for the chorus: “The Communist Party guides China on the path to power and wealth!”
It is not the catchiest karaoke number. But it is an apt one to belt out as they look towards a horizon framed by cranes towering over ships of all sizes.
Most of the counter-tariffs Ottawa slapped on U.S. goods earlier this year have now been removed, with a few exceptions.
Canada placed duties on $60 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to American tariffs on various Canadian goods. Those tariffs are gone as of Monday, though some levies remain on non-CUSMA-compliant goods — such as tariffs on steel and aluminum products to counter U.S. tariffs targeting those industries.
Much of the media but especially the CBC is making out that removal of the counter tariffs was some kind of Master Stroke by Carney when in fact it was just the reversal of a stupid mistake.
Rosie O’Donnell, the left-leaning actress who never misses a chance to lob a grenade into the culture war, kicked up another storm over the weekend. After a horrifying attack at a Minneapolis Catholic school left two children dead and 18 others wounded, O’Donnell rushed to social media—before facts were out—to blame her favorite villains.
BREAKING – A rattled Rosie O’Donnell has just released an apology video to MAGA for her earlier video in which she blamed the Minnesota Catholic school tragedy on MAGA, falsely claiming the suspect was a White supremacist MAGA voter.
Chohan Trucking – When you absolutely need to hit an overpass
A new trucking firm in B.C. has links to Chohan Freight Forwarders Ltd., a company the province shut down after it was involved in multiple overpass crashes, a Postmedia News examination has found.
It’s unclear whether Legacy Pathways Ltd.’s links to the former company violate B.C. Motor Vehicle Act regulations, but the Transportation Ministry said its commercial vehicle safety enforcement branch “is aware of concerns regarding Legacy Pathways Ltd. and is investigating.”
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and the so-called aid “flotilla” were forced to abandon their journey to Gaza just hours after setting sail from Spain on Sunday due to windy weather.
Around 30 boats stocked with food and medicine, as well as prominent leftist activists and politicians, disembarked on Sunday from the Catalan city of Barcelona with the intention of reaching the Gaza Strip.
How many of these upstanding young men (and woman) are actually Canadian citizens?
‘Two weeks to pack up our house’: Quebec family forced to return to U.S. after 15 years in Canada
After building a life in Canada for more than a decade, a family is now forced to leave the country by next week, leaving them shocked with what they describe as a harsh decision from Canada’s immigration department.
For 15-year-old Stella Figg, she could have played her last soccer game on Canadian soil on Sunday.
“It’s really challenging to know that I might have to restart at zero,” she told CTV News.
Stella was born in the United States but moved to Canada when she was a baby. Her parents moved here for work 15 years ago with Stella and their son.
The law is the law but there are criminals of all varieties that remain in Canada with no fear of arrest or expulsion.
Our government makes annexation look good. Trump would fix this.
As the anniversary of September 11 approaches, a lawsuit filed by the families of the victims of the Islamic terrorist attacks against the Saudis has been granted permission to move forward.
Saudi Arabia along with Qatar and Iran were the three Islamic terrorist states seen as most complicit in September 11.
One of the big missing pieces of the puzzle is the complicity of the FBI in covering up the role of Saudi Arabia.
We must stop this mass-influx of bodies — and it doesn’t really matter who gets it done.
Controlled immigration is beneficial for both an economy and a society. Mass immigration leads to socioeconomic disaster.
Canada has been suffering the effects of mass immigration for years. The Trudeau government opened the floodgates and used mass immigration to shield the results of its economic incompetence. Pouring people into the country offers a meager and short-term economic boost. It keeps the national GDP growing so they could point to one positive economic indicator.
Elijah Muhammad of the Nation of Islam – Hate Whites and Jews and has his racism honoured by the Smithsonian
The National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution center in Washington, D.C., features exhibits that glorify violent radical groups like the Nation of Islam (NOI) and offer historical falsehoods on issues like slavery, a Washington Free Beacon review found.
The NOI features prominently in the museum, with exhibits offering effusive praise to the group with little mention of the organization’s history of violence, anti-White radicalism, and anti-Semitism.
Based on what we know, most counter-tariffs affecting food, food manufacturing, and retail will be rolled back Sept. 1. This is welcome news.
It will provide relief for Canadian consumers, greater choice for grocers, and — most importantly — help keep food inflation in check. Even if counter-tariffs did not directly apply to a wide range of products, they acted like the tide with boats: price increases in certain aisles created pressure across the grocery store. In food retail, all categories compete with one another for share of wallet. When orange juice, peanut butter, or coffee prices rise due to tariffs, it indirectly pushes prices elsewhere upward as grocers rebalance their pricing strategies.
A woman has been burnt to death by a mob in northern Nigeria’s Niger state after she was accused of blaspheming against Prophet Muhammad, police have said.
Police condemned the killing of the woman – identified in local media as a food vendor named Amaye – as “jungle justice”, saying that an investigation was under way to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.
Local media quoted eyewitnesses as saying a man jokingly proposed marriage to the vendor, and her response was considered blasphemous by some people in the area.
EDMONTON – Margaret Atwood is taking aim at Alberta’s controversial ban on school library books containing sexual content with a new, satirical short story after the famed author’s novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” was yanked from some shelves due to the province’s sweeping new rules.
In a social media post on Sunday, Atwood said since the literary classic is no longer suitable in Alberta’s schools, she has written a short story for 17-year olds about two “very, very good children” named John and Mary.
Plan to put war-torn territory under US control while turning it into a glitzy tourist destination
The Trump administration would pay Palestinians $5,000 to leave Gaza as part of a proposal for the US to take over the enclave for ten years.
The plans form part of a 38-page prospectus circulating the White House that would see the war-torn territory turned into a trusteeship under US control while it is transformed into a glitzy tourist destination and tech hub.
