Joly won’t say if federal climate targets are here to stay

As Prime Minister Mark Carney announces he’s pausing yet another cornerstone environmental policy laid out by his predecessor Justin Trudeau, Industry Minister Melanie Joly won’t say whether the federal government will maintain its 2030 and 2035 emissions reduction targets.

Carney announced Friday that his government will pause the 2026 electric vehicle (EV) target, launch a review of the overall mandate and amend federal Clean Fuel Regulations.

The move follows Carney’s decision to zero out the consumer price on carbon in March, his first move as prime minister.

Speaking to reporters following his announcement on Friday, Carney signalled the door is open to other changes on climate policy, except for the industrial price on carbon.

NY Times Compares Trump to Hitler for Wanting ‘Science with Practical Results’

Tuesday’s New York Times led with a 2,500-word screed by science reporter William Broad. “Historians See Autocratic Playbook in Trump’s Attacks on Science” took off from that headline and became quickly even more laughable, taking us back 400 years to the Inquisition. The prominent story was even illustrated with a painting of astronomer Galileo’s 1633 church trial for heresy for insisting the Earth moves around the sun.

Sask. Health Authority issues order to vacate ‘unfit’ building occupied by ‘Queen of Canada’ and followers

Canada Competing Monarchs – Queen Didulo or King Charles? You Decide!

Days after self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo and several of her followers were arrested by the RCMP during a raid at a former school in Richmond, the Saskatchewan Health Authority has deemed the building unfit for habitation.

The health authority said it posted an order to vacate Friday, after it found the building in the southwestern Saskatchewan village was not connected to a municipal sewage system.

I think I prefer Didulo to King Charles.

IDF Kills Palestinian Boy, and Then the Boy Gives a TV Interview

It was one of the most horrific stories of the entire Israel-Hamas conflict, or any conflict. Back in late May, a retired Green Beret named Anthony Aguilar, who had been working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), claimed that he witnessed an incident of such shocking heartlessness and inhumanity that it seemed destined to be remembered as one of the most cruel war crimes in the entire history of the world. There was just one catch: it has now been definitively established that not a word of it was true.

Families terrorized as politicians look the other way

A young woman is kidnapped in Ontario. Her family’s home is stormed, and her father is shot. Police say the suspects staged a car crash, forced her into a van, tied her up, and within an hour were breaking into her family’s house while armed. Four people were arrested, including two teenagers. One was just 12 years old, already out on bail, and he is the one police allege pulled the trigger. Another suspect escaped.

LAPD ends protection of former Vice President Kamala Harris amid criticism over diverting cops

The Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday discontinued its protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris after heavy criticism within its own ranks that officers were being diverted from crime suppression, sources told The Times.

LAPD Metropolitan Division officers had been assisting the California Highway Patrol in protecting Harris and were visible until Saturday morning outside her Brentwood home.

Both California police agencies scrambled this week to protect Harris after President Trump, her rival in November’s election, revoked Harris’s Secret Service protection last week. Thursday. President Biden had extended that protection for Harris beyond the six months after leaving office that vice presidents traditionally get.

Politicized policing.

How a Quebec battery plant promising economic growth turned into a money pit

In September 2023, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier François Legault stood on a Montreal stage alongside Northvolt executives and announced what they called a “historic” partnership: a plan to build a new mega-factory on Montreal’s South Shore.

It was to be called Northvolt Six — a plant that would churn out electric vehicle batteries, create 3,000 jobs and contribute more than $1 billion to the economy.

Both the provincial and federal governments rolled out the red carpet for Northvolt, a Swedish company, to woo them into choosing Quebec for their first major factory outside of Europe.

Tech-Savvy Teen Becomes Catholic Church’s First Millennial Saint

ASSISI, Italy—Every day this summer, thousands of Catholic devotees have streamed into a 12th-century church in this medieval town to pay their respects to a tech-savvy teenager seen by some as the patron saint of the internet.

Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 from leukemia at the age of 15, was officially recognized as a saint by Pope Leo XIV on Sunday, bestowing the Catholic Church’s highest honor on a millennial for the first time.

Sometimes also dubbed “God’s influencer,” St. Carlo’s emerging iconography often depicts him holding a laptop. It is a nod to his hobby—computer programming—a skill he used to spread the Gospel, designing websites for religious institutions and a personal website cataloging miracles.

Jamie Sarkonak: The TFW program came for youth jobs. Now Poilievre is coming for it

The “immigrants are taking our jobs” line used to be dismissed as a xenophobic trope, stigmatized in Canadian politics with such intensity that it lulled the population into a decade-plus sleep even as wages stagnated. But it’s turned out to be completely true — and only the Conservatives are coming up with solutions to the problem.

On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre and immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner announced their proposal to scrap the temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, which in 2023 authorized nearly 240,000 foreigners to work in Canada. This, we’re told, is only the beginning: Rempel Garner promises that more proposals are in the works.

Muslims affiliated with Boko Haram killed at least 60 in overnight attack on Nigerian village

The jihadist group Boko Haram has killed more than 60 people in an overnight attack in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno State, local officials say.

On Friday night militants struck the village of Darul Jamal, home to a military base on the Nigeria-Cameroon border, killing at least five soldiers.

The Nigerian Air Force said it killed 30 militants in strikes after receiving reports of the raid on the village, where residents had recently returned following years of displacement.

THOMSON: NDP are going to poison their own well

The 2025 federal election for the NDP was an unmitigated disaster. They lost all but seven of their twenty-four MP’s, they lost their leader, Jagmeet Singh, and they lost official party status in Parliament. Unsatisfied with those results, the NDP will now try to reduce that number from seven MP’s to zero, or so it seems.

Having faced an extinction-level event and just barely survived, the NDP desperately needed the summer recess to reevaluate their strategy and come up with a plan to reconnect with voters, pick a new leader, and chart a course to rebuild their party.
