Mark Carney was once ‘concerned’ about Trump. Now things have gotten worse than anyone could have guessed

In April, just days before he was elected prime minister, I asked Mark Carney whether Canadians ought to start worrying about the state of things down south.

“The U.S. system is one of checks and balances, famously,” Carney began. At the core of the American system of democracy, he went on, “is the rule of law.” He gave a small shrug: “I expect that to continue.” Without taking a beat, “yes,” the prime minister acknowledged, “I’m concerned.”

MCTEAGUE: ’Net-Zero’ Carney’s going to build new pipelines? I’ll believe it when I see it!

Ever since Mark Carney’s rise to power, people have been trying to sell me on the idea that he’s just what this country needs — a (supposedly) practical, no-nonsense businessman who can clean up the mess his highly-ideological predecessor, Justin Trudeau, left us in. To reinforce this claim, they point to the constant rumblings about Carney’s commitment to building new oil and gas pipelines in Canada.

I’m sorry, folks, but I’ll believe it when I see it.


Carney gave a pipeline killing bludgeon to the Aboriginals. That was deliberate.

Cracker Barrel Is Dead, And Its Stupid Woke CEO Killed It With Gay Nonsense

Cracker Barrel’s new logo — and its miserable attempt to reinvent itself — is obviously a complete disaster, whether in terms of customer backlash or the company’s stock price.

But the real reason Cracker Barrel has been struggling is that its service and food quality nosedived after Covid, and instead of fixing that, the company and its woke executives decided to go full Bud Light and taste the rainbow and dare its customers to object.


Looks like another crappy Exec destroyed a beloved brand. I have never been in a Cracker Barrel but know of them because they allow RV’s to park overnight for free, well they did perhaps that ended with everything else good.

Cracker Barrel’s Board Should Fire The CEO Immediately

Cracker Barrel is learning the same lesson Bud Light did: fat, bearded, gun toting middle Americans not only dislike change — especially the “woke” kind — but will also turn on you for taking a staple brand they love and pile-driving it into the ground.

Pakistani Muslims Attack Churches, Holy Bible, and Christian Cross

The wave of hatred and violence against Christians in Pakistan has continued for decades. Burning homes, destroying Christian crosses and churches, setting the Holy Bible on fire, and even burning people alive demonstrate the extreme prejudice and hostility embedded in the hearts of extremist elements. This behavior is not accidental but is part of a deliberate plan aimed at intimidating and weakening Christians by desecrating their religious symbols.

Inside the Falkland Superlab: How RCMP Refusals to Cooperate With the DEA Fueled a Cross-Border Tariff Crisis

WASHINGTON — Canada’s federal police refused to investigate or cooperate with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration on a British Columbia fentanyl superlab probe tied to chemical-precursor shipments from China into Vancouver in late 2022, according to senior U.S. officials. More than a year later — only after the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Iranian-Canadian businessman Bahman Djebelibak and his Health Canada–licensed company Valerian Labs, naming them as part of a Chinese fentanyl trafficking syndicate that Washington sought to disrupt — did the RCMP finally open a siloed investigation. The force continued to refuse coordination or information sharing with the American agents who had initiated the case. In an exclusive interview, Derek Maltz, DEA Acting Administrator in 2025 with oversight of the matter, called the B.C. superlab case a “major disaster.”

Getting illegal truckers off the road

On August 12, an illegal alien from India killed three people in Florida. He wasn’t the “usual” criminal alien who raped or murdered. He was one of those illegals liberals salute for “working” whose “only” infraction was getting to the United States illegally. Lots of TikTok women on X will announce they have “no f-ing problem” with such “undocumenteds.”

Harjinder Singh killed those three people with a truck. He was driving a semi that made an illegal U-turn on a highway. Three people just happened to be in his way. (Although from India, Singh also failed the “xenophobic” regulations put in place two months ago by the Trump Administration requiring truckers to be literate in English).

Posh girls for illegal immigration

Zoe Gardner is the latest professional activist to sneer at working-class concerns about the migrant hotels.

The calibre of so-called progressives coming out to bat for illegal immigration amid growing anger over migrant hotels has been of a very low quality lately. So low in fact that they are making the situation worse.

I’ve been struck by just how many of the talking heads commissioned to appear on various current-affairs shows and radio phone-ins don’t appear to understand the migrant-hotels issue or why it’s provoking so much anger. Among the many low-calibre pundits in this vein one in particular has stood out: Zoe Gardner.

Carney’s 100 days

Mark Carney changed Canada’s politics, quickly. He won a sudden Liberal leadership race, took power in five days and called a snap election – campaigning on a promise that he would change a lot more, fast.

His was a campaign built on a sense of a country in crisis, under threat from a U.S. president intent on levying punishing tariffs on Canada and undermining its sovereignty.

Mr. Carney argued that this crisis would require swift action. Comprehensive security-and-trade negotiations with Donald Trump. Sweeping away internal trade barriers. Launching major national projects. Redefining relations with the world. Building a stronger, more independent Canada.

If aliens find Earth, they’ll probably come from this direction

Humans dream of finding life on Mars — but could our fascination with this neighbouring planet broadcast our existence to aliens who live much further away?

A review of the most powerful signals that humans have sent into space has shed light on how extraterrestrials might find us.

The study analysed the logs of Nasa’s Deep Space Network (DSN), an array of radio dishes in California, Spain and Australia that communicate with the agency’s far-flung spacecraft. It concluded that the bulk of humanity’s most powerful, persistent signals into the cosmos had been directed not at distant stars but at machines orbiting or roving the red planet.

Britain’s Flag Wars Fly in the Face of National Self-Loathing

Until a few weeks ago, you were more likely to see a Palestinian, Ukrainian, or LGBT pride flag flying in London than to see any of the UK’s own colours. Now, thanks to a grassroots movement called Operation Raise the Colours, that could be changing.

Union Jacks and St. George’s flags have been cropping up across the country over the last few weeks, being hung on lampposts by groups of patriots. The movement appears to have begun in Birmingham, organised online, before spreading to Norwich, Bradford, Newcastle, Swindon, and even London.

Michael Higgins: More grave claims, but still no shovels

It is unfortunate that First Nations are reluctant, or unable, to provide precise details in these cases, since they almost certainly warrant some kind of criminal investigation

Here we go again. More announcements that “graves” have been found at former Indian Residential Schools, more flags lowered in mourning and more uncritical press coverage.

And yet times have changed. There is less news coverage of these events, there’s no federal flags flying at half-staff and there appears to be a marked lack of national angst.

With “Progressivism First,” the ADL shows its true colors

The recent decision by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), once seen as a vaunted protector of the American Jewish community, to add “America First” to its Glossary of Extremism and Hate is no mere exercise in sanctimony or virtue signaling.

This unbelievably wrong-headed, ill-considered and insensitive decision sends the worst kind of messages, especially to those with who the American Jewish community is in most need of dialog and mutual understanding: American conservatives, particularly, America First MAGA conservatives.

To the extent that the ADL is still viewed as a proxy for American Jewish sensibilities, this decision must be seen as an angry gauntlet thrown down, whereby Jews are challenging the very legitimacy of a movement that is attracting millions of Americans, particularly young Americans.


The ADL is a left wing hate group, no different than the SPLC.

Canada finally faces a basic question: how do we defend ourselves?

The second Trump administration has been worse than Canada’s worst nightmare. The largest military force in the history of the world, across a largely undefended border, is suddenly under the command of a president who has called for our annexation. Canada could not be less prepared. The possibility of American aggression has been so remote, for so long, that the idea has not been seriously considered in living memory. Donald Trump has focused on economic rather than military pressure, but the new tone in Washington is finally forcing Canada to ask itself the most basic question: how do we defend ourselves?

Dream on.
