Carney says talks with U.S. in ‘intense phase’ of Canada being ignored by Trump ahead of Aug. 1 deadline
Prime Minister Mark Carney said negotiations between Canada and the U.S. on a new trade and security deal have reached an “intense phase,” as an Aug. 1 deadline looms.
Carney made the comments in Prince Edward Island on Monday during a separate announcement about the Confederation Bridge.
“The negotiations are at an intense phase,” Carney said. “It’s a complex negotiation you see with the various trade deals that have been agreed by other jurisdictions … there are many aspects to these negotiations.”
How Trump humiliated Europe
All-inclusive deals are designed to take the hassle out of a holiday, albeit at a price.
But while Ursula von der Leyen claimed her “15pc across-the-board, all-inclusive” trade agreement with Donald Trump was a bargain, everyone else in Europe was left feeling they’d been massively ripped off .
The president of the European Commission smiled through gritted teeth as she announced the deal, which was quickly criticised across the Continent by politicians, economists and business leaders alike.
Did we really have to make this D-list MAGA singer famous in Canada?
The continuing controversy involving Sean Feucht, the American Christian rocker and MAGA darling who has been denied permits for his concerts all across Eastern Canada, has become just dreadfully irritating.
It is irritating to watch Mr. Feucht’s critics conflate his opinions – on abortion (he’s against it), on homosexuality (he believes it is a perversion of God’s will), on the “trans agenda” (“demonic,” according to Mr. Feucht) – with the promotion of hatred, as defined by the Criminal Code. Hate speech is not protected speech, but not all offensive speech is hate speech. We as a society went over this, ad nauseum, during the peak of the cancel-culture furor around 2017 or so. Apparently we’ve forgotten what we learned during that time.
More than 600,000 graduates are claiming benefits
More than 600,000 graduates are claiming benefits, according to newly released official figures.
In response to a parliamentary question from the Conservative MP Neil O’Brien, the UK Statistics Authority revealed that between March to May this year 639,000 people with a level six qualification — equivalent to a degree with honours — or above were claiming universal credit, making up 12 per cent of those being paid the benefit.

WARMINGTON: Driver allegedly almost runs over cops and public but released without bail hearing
It’s not everyday that an accused who was arrested by five Toronto Police officers with their guns drawn gets to walk away from custody as long as he shows up for court in late September.
… Yet, the guy charged after this wild mayhem didn’t even have to spend a night in jail. Or even go to a police station to be booked. It was treated as if he was getting a speeding ticket.
…That person was Mrunmay Ukey, 27, of Toronto, who “was arrested and charged with fail to stop for police” and “dangerous operation” of a motor vehicle and is “scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of justice, 10 Armoury St., on Friday, September 19, 2025, at 11 a.m., in room 203.” None of the allegations against him have been tested in court.

Kelly McParland: How Toronto built a condo glut amid a housing shortage
In Toronto today it’s deemed entirely acceptable to build a mammoth residential/retail/commercial/hotel tower reaching 80, 90 or 100-and-more storeys into an increasingly obliterated sky, and be celebrated for your vision, ambition and architectural brashness. But just try to get permission for a modest structure able to house six families and see how far you get.

DOGE builds AI tool to cut 50 percent of federal regulations
The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and four government officials familiar with the plans.
The tool, called the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated because they are no longer required by law, according to a PowerPoint presentation obtained by The Post that is dated July 1 and outlines DOGE’s plans. Roughly 100,000 of those rules would be deemed worthy of trimming, the PowerPoint estimates — mostly through the automated tool with some staff feedback. The PowerPoint also suggests the AI tool will save the United States trillions of dollars by reducing compliance requirements, slashing the federal budget and unlocking unspecified “external investment.”
Ottawa says Hong Kong bounties for activists are a threat to Canadian sovereignty
Ottawa is condemning Hong Kong’s announcement of arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists, including several in Canada, as transnational repression that threatens this country’s sovereignty.
One of those targeted in Canada, Victor Ho, on Sunday warned Canadian politicians now urging closer ties with Beijing to be mindful of repression practised by the ruling Chinese Communist Party.
When AI Stops Thinking and Starts Preaching
A computer is only as good as the data you put into it. That warning from the early days of computing — garbage in, garbage out — has never been more relevant than in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).
AI now drives everything from search engines to image generators, yet instead of providing objective, data-backed insights, it too often parrots progressive narratives, twisting facts to match feelings.
Case in point: despite U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that over 75% of Americans identify as white, AI-generated images of “typical Americans” often show mostly non-white groups. This isn’t intelligence. It’s indoctrination, built into algorithms by ideologues in Silicon Valley.
‘Net Zero could destroy civilisation’
Heatwaves in the UK, floods in Texas and wildfires in southern Europe have all been held up as portents of a coming climate apocalypse. Ed Miliband, the UK energy secretary, warned earlier this month that the British ‘way of life’ is under threat and ‘no sector or part of society is immune from those risks’. But is climate change really proving to be as dangerous as the eco-alarmists claim? And can it justify the extortionate costs of Net Zero, the drive to decarbonise every aspect of our lives?
