OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested Tuesday he is considering substituting or rescinding the Online News Act to ensure local news is disseminated wider and faster two years after Meta banned access to news on its platforms.
Carney made the unexpected suggestion while announcing over $1 billion in loan guaranteed and long-term supports for the softwood lumber industry at a mill in West Kelowna, B.C.
A photographer whose work is routinely picked up by international agencies reportedly stages photographs of hunger in Gaza, emphasizing women and children and avoiding showing Palestinians receiving food, German Bild says.
Today it was revealed that this TIME photo from Gaza was completely staged — a total fake.
But they published it anyway.

When a senior Hamas terrorist praises your country by name, it’s not a diplomatic gesture. It’s not a political milestone. It is a stain. A warning. An indictment of a nation that has lost its moral compass, its democratic voice, and perhaps even its future.
Carney knows. He just doesn’t care.
ARCADIA, Calif.—In early May, after a baby was hospitalized with possible signs of child abuse, police showed up at a nine-bedroom mansion in this Los Angeles suburb known for lavish homes and residents with roots in China. Inside, they found 15 more children, none older than 3, living under the care of nannies.
The investigative trail led them to six more children at other homes in the Los Angeles area. A Chinese-born man and woman living in the mansion said they were the parents of all 22 children. Birth certificates list them as such. What mystified police was that the children appeared to have been born all over the U.S., and in rapid succession.
Local authorities removed the children from the homes, placed them in foster care, and called in the FBI.
KAHNAWAKE – The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake says it will probably impose tolls on the roads crossing its territory in response to looming federal budget cuts.
Grand Chief Cody Diabo told reporters the tolls could help offset the impact of cuts by Indigenous Services Canada on the Mohawk community south of Montreal.
He says his council is looking at implementing tolls on major highways where he says approximately 120,000 vehicles pass through daily.

A recent document by a European think tank decries the “accelerating financial expansion of movements working to dismantle decades of hard-won sexual and reproductive rights across Europe.” The report, published by the Brussels-based European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights (EPF), highlights the “anti-rights and religious extremist actors in Europe,” but focuses mostly on just one religion: Christianity. Through this inherent bias, the organization admits the one institution that its members and their allies fear—the Catholic Church—as the organizing force behind the “religious ideologues [who] are executing meticulous, long-term strategies for power.”
EPF’s executive committee consists of one member of the European Parliament, along with members of parliament from several constituent states of the EU, with two additional politicians from outside the Union. All of the committee members come from socially left-wing political parties—from a party of the French “center,” Renaissance (founded by French President Emmanuel Macron) to the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party.
Mark Carney showed up at Gorman’s Mill in West Kelowna, B.C., on Tuesday promising to change Canada’s trading relationship. If we judged that promise based off his promise to strike a deal with Donald Trump, he’d get an automatic fail.
Still, he wants us to believe that he’s going to turn things around and magically not make us reliant on the United States.

Taiwanese soldiers manning Dadan Island, a rocky outcrop mere kilometres from China’s coast, begin vanishing mysteriously.
Then one night, a fishing boat lands on Dadan. A signal flare arcs into the inky sky – and illuminates Chinese soldiers who have spilled out of the boat and amassed on the beach.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney warned Tuesday that Canadian investment in the United States — already among the highest in the world — could decline if trade relations deteriorate and a new economic and security pact is not secured.
“Canada is the second-largest investor in the United States today in the world. We have 40 million people,” Carney said while speaking to reporters in British Columbia.
A heiress from the German industrial dynasty that profited from producing Zyklon B, the gas used in Nazi death camps, will participate in the next pro-Palestinian flotilla to Gaza, activist groups announced last week.
Marlene Engelhorn explained in an Instagram post, “I decided to join the flotilla because I wanted to support the effort to end this genocide.”
The Toronto Star has once again graced us with its wisdom. In a piece penned by one Craig A. Johnson—presumably not the sort of chap who’d last five minutes in an Alberta oil patch—the Star wrings its hands over the left’s tragic loss of young men to the dastardly right. “The left needs to learn how to talk to young men—or it will keep losing them,” wails the headline, as if these wayward lads are lost puppies rather than thinking adults who’ve had quite enough of being lectured on their “privileges” while scraping by in Trudeau’s inflation-ravaged economy.
Police have escorted two drag queens from a public library where they had been running a storytelling event for children after angry protesters gathered outside.
Drag Queen Story Time at Holywood Arches Library in Belfast featured Lady Portia Di’Monte, known as the ‘North Ireland’s First Lady of Drag’, and Miss Dora Belle.
The ticket-only event was advertised as ‘suitable for all ages and families’ and to ‘champion individuality and inclusivity amongst its young audiences, featuring sing-alongs and dancing.’
QUÉBEC — A judge will rule today on whether to grant bail to three men facing terrorism charges in an alleged plot to forcibly seize land in the Quebec City area.

There is a publication ban on details of the bail hearing, which heard from an RCMP officer, the three accused and several of their family members.
