Poilievre could face leadership review as early as March
The Conservative party’s national council is expected to meet mid-June to determine when leader Pierre Poilievre will face a leadership review, but there’s still no sign of an overarching review of the party’s failure to defeat the Liberals on April 28.
The election returned a Liberal minority government, and while some Conservatives privately say Prime Minister Mark Carney could govern for as long as four years, others say work on fixing their failure to defeat him must start now.
Replace him with what?
WTF?

Why Morgan Wallen Terrifies the Left
His success wasn’t cleared by the cultural gatekeepers.
There’s a peculiar talent NPR has perfected over the years: the ability to moralize and condescend in the same breath, all while pretending they’re simply offering insight. Their latest exercise in public character trial — disguised as cultural analysis — centers on Morgan Wallen, a man whose real crime seems to be success without permission.
A Presidency Defined by Obfuscation and Denial
Though it has rightly generated criticism for one of its coauthors, Original Sin is a vital account of the White House cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline.
Joe Biden’s was a presidency encumbered by chronic, preexisting conditions. The overarching condition was a mythologized persona—avuncular, vibrant, warm—long curated by Biden and guarded by his compliant staff. In exchange for this devotion, Biden had left a long trail of disenchantment among those who knew and worked with him. In 2012, the New Yorker profiled Jeff Connaughton, a Biden Senate staffer who became a lobbyist, about his time with “Scranton Joe.” Connaughton recalled how, in 1994, he needed a reference for a job opportunity in the Clinton White House and asked Ted Kaufmann, then Biden’s chief of staff, if the senator would make a call on his behalf. Biden refused. “Jeff, don’t take this personally,” Kaufmann reportedly told Connaughton. “Biden disappoints everyone. He’s an equal-opportunity disappointer.”
Jake Tapper admits he didn’t vote for Biden but still fell for the Democrats’ lies which shaped his reporting:
"What was shaping my reporting was.. a lot of people lying to us. I should have been more skeptical.. They were lying to us."

Fighting violent online network preying on kids requires all of us
The RCMP announced on Thursday the terrorism-related arrest of a 15-year old Alberta boy. He is being charged under Section 810.011 of the Criminal Code — Fear of terrorism offence.
This section of the Criminal Code states that “A person who fears on reasonable grounds that another person may commit a terrorism offence may, with the attorney general’s consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge.” This suggests that the RCMP had reason to believe the boy might carry out an act of terrorism.
“764” – Never heard of them.
Iran Duping Trump with IAEA Inspections. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Once again, the United States has sat down with Iran for yet another round of nuclear negotiations — this time the fifth. And once again, we are told that there will be another round in the “near future.” Sound familiar? It should. Iran’s cat-and-mouse diplomatic theater is not a breakthrough; it is a rerun. Just as the past rounds, this latest episode concluded without any meaningful agreement, while Iran continues to advance in its nuclear program, intercontinental ballistic missiles — not needed to attack Israel — and rebuild its air defense.
Lorne Gunter: PM Carney set to worsen Trudeau’s fiscal failures
Ever wonder how glamorous the life of a daily newspaper columnist is?
Well, here’s how I spent my Friday morning. First, I did a deep dive into government workforce statistics from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (via the Canadian Taxpayers Federation). Then I swam around in the luxurious pools of the federal government’s Main Spending Estimates. And finally, I bathed in an RBC Economics analysis of first-quarter GDP numbers.
Chinese Communist-approved cardinal took part in papal election. Why is no one talking about this?
The conclave that elected the first American pope had another first that few have heard about: a voting cardinal named Stephen Chow who was approved for his current position by the Chinese Communist Party, pursuant to a 2018 pact between the Party and the Vatican. He is, by Chinese law, obliged to “support the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party” as part of the CCP’s United Front Work Department. That’s its entity charged with conducting global propaganda and influence operations.

Hamas accepts US ceasefire but adds demands Israel will refuse
The militant group responded to Steve Witkoff’s proposal with conditions including a permanent truce and the IDF’s withdrawal from Gaza
Hamas has said it is willing to agree to a US-led ceasefire proposal but has also offered a new timeline and demanded a permanent end to hostilities.
The militant group’s response — the most promising sign of progress towards a peace deal since March — accepted some of the terms of the original proposal drawn up by Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Middle East envoy. Those included the handover of ten live hostages and the bodies of 18 dead hostages.
Ford most popular Premier, Smith least
As first ministers gather against the backdrop U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, a new poll suggests Alberta’s Danielle Smith has the highest negatives of any premier.
The Pollara Strategic Insights survey also found Ontario’s Doug Ford is the country’s most popular premier — thanks largely to his stance against Trump’s tariffs.
Bombshell: Secret Service Whistleblower Revealed Troubling Account Of Biden In The White House
A Secret Service whistleblower has come forward with a shocking allegation: former President Joe Biden was so mentally impaired during his time in the White House that he would “get lost in his closet,” according to Sen. Josh Hawley. On Friday, Hawley revealed the disturbing claim as part of a broader accusation that Democrats engaged in a deliberate cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline—what he now calls one of the most egregious political scandals in modern presidential history.

The face isn’t real, but her story is: Why W5 used AI on an interview with a rape survivor
In the opening minutes of our documentary, Sleeping With the Enemy, viewers meet “Melanie,” a Canadian woman whose life was shattered by a Facebook message on the weekend of her bridal shower.
I get the rationale behind W5’s decision to use an AI generated construction in this instance but it does highlight the possibilities that await for less scrupulous use of AI.
The hilarity is that AI is not some invading country, or an alien invasion, or a natural disaster.
In other words, AI is inert.AI is something that OTHER HUMANS are using in order to eliminate their companies’ labor overhead. It is used by humans; it is not “being done to… https://t.co/HyQ7Ja4zih

What Happens When AI Replaces Workers?
On Wednesday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei declared AI could eliminate half of all entry level white collar jobs within five years. Last week, a senior LinkedIn executive reported that AI is already starting to take jobs from new grads. In April, Fiverr’s CEO made it clear: “AI is coming for your job. Heck, it’s coming for my job too.” Even the new Pope is warning about AI’s dramatic potential to reshape our economy.
Why do they think this?
