KLEIN: Carney sits idle as billions of dollars flow to the U.S.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has been in office long enough for Canadians to start asking a simple, unavoidable question: What is he actually doing?

Yes, we are pleased that goods compliant with the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) remain tariff-free. That is the baseline expectation for a modern trade relationship with our largest trading partner. But that small relief is overshadowed by the fact that tariffs on other Canadian goods have jumped to 35%. Those tariffs don’t just hurt Canadian exporters; they hit American businesses and workers as well. They weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world.

Sorry, Billionaires—There’s No Escape

You’ll need help getting to your compound in New Zealand, and your helpers will want to come too.

For many years I flew airplanes out of the Santa Monica Airport, 2 miles from my home. I told a fellow pilot that one benefit of the license and the plane was the ability to extract my family from a societal breakdown. He agreed but noted that the difficulty would be the last hundred yards before the airport.

Now comes news that American billionaires have prepared compounds in New Zealand in case of apocalypse. Thoughtfully stocked with all that the group would require—air, water, food, entertainment—they stand ready to receive the ultraprivileged. Well and good, but their fantasy, like mine, is flawed. For what is the size of the group for which they foresee transportation, protection and perpetual care?

Democratic Socialists of America Hold Panel on Abolishing the Family

These people are insane – but serious and committed.

Earlier this week the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) uploaded to YouTube the video of a panel discussion from its annual Socialism Conference, held in Chicago over Independence Day weekend. For those who hear the term democratic socialism and picture happy Scandinavians living their best lives instead of being chewed up in a capitalist rat race, it’s worth noting that the discussion featured open calls for the abolition of the nuclear family in the United States.

US pro-Palestinian activist paid $75k to protest, funding traces back to Chinese Communist Party

One of the lead organizers of pro-Palestine rallies in New York – David (Sung Mo) Chung – is paid $75,000 to protest, Nate Friedman first revealed in an investigation that he posted to his social media.

Friedman has been talking to people at protests for over a year, and now works to uncover professional protesters. He first came across Chung at a “Hands Off Iran” protest in NYC, he told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Thursday. Friedman was trying to speak to a man with a flag that read, “There is no god but Allah,” but just “two sentences into the interview, another man interrupted and pulled the guy aside, and told him they were getting ready to march.” The other man was Chung.

HANNAFORD: Ottawa’s eternal quest to shape what Canadians say and think

Is it an exaggeration to say Canada’s Liberal government uses newspaper subsidies and internet regulation to control what Canadians read and say?

Geoff Russ: Alignment of decolonialists and anti-Israel radicals a dangerous threat to the West

If you thought that the alliance of pro-Gaza activists, radical leftists and proponents of terror would fade away, you were wrong.

Last weekend in Australia, the “March for Humanity” paraded across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. An estimated 100,000 people marched to support the people of Gaza amidst a war between Israel and Hamas that has lasted for almost two years.
