One of the realities politicians don’t like to talk about is that turning Canada into a green energy superpower — as Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised — means eliminating the rights of communities directly affected by energy-related projects to have a say in them.
Often with disastrous results.
Why are liberal folks so nasty? It’s rare to find one that’s calm and rational.
I guess the one thing they have in common is their beauty.

In the “not-so-distant future” of the 1997 sci-fi thriller Gattaca, society is divided by genetic status. The protagonist, played by Ethan Hawke, is a naturally conceived “invalid”, while Jude Law plays a former swimming champion whose life was engineered for perfection. Law’s traits had been selected by a geneticist, his fate inscribed in his cells. He was “never meant to be one step down on the podium” — so when he wins silver instead of gold at the Olympics, he throws himself in front of a car. In a society that promises perfection, the psychological cost of failure is high.
A federal appeals court put the brakes Thursday on a lower court order that overturned most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs.
A full 11-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade while a White House appeal is heard.
The Court of International Trade had ruled that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by imposing a 10% flat duty rate on dozens of countries around the world — as well as 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 20% tariffs on China in response to illegal fentanyl trafficking.
There is currently no expectation that Alberta schools refrain from giving kids access to books containing depictions of child molestation and point-of-view oral sex. That is why on Monday, Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides announced he’d be working over the summer to craft a new policy on age-appropriate content for schools, slated to take effect in September.
In recent years, not a week has gone by without a jihadist terror attack in some European city being reported in the news. Most of the perpetrators turn out to be failed asylum seekers, highlighting the fact that Western European governments have failed to protect their own citizens by mismanaging the migration crisis that started a decade ago—failing to stop illegal migrants from entering, and failing to deport those who have no right to stay.
People seem to die around Saed “Styles” Osman.
And when you allegedly fire 70-odd bullets outside a nightclub into a crowd of people, then you can be fairly judged as a homicidal maniac.
Now, Edmonton detectives say, Osman has been charged with an additional murder two years before he allegedly turned a Saturday night into a shooting gallery.
An IT professional and former Royal Marine has been charged after a car was driven into a crowd of people celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League title win.
Father of three Paul Doyle, 53, previously described by police as a white British man from West Derby in Liverpool, was arrested at the scene on Monday.
A total of 79 people, including four children, were injured in the incident on Water Street, near the parade route, just after 6pm.
Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali accepted more than $3,100 in sponsored travel from a Muslim advocacy group for a visit to Jerusalem, where he was photographed praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and voiced criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza, according to new disclosures filed with the federal Ethics Commissioner.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the January 2024 trip, valued at $3,148, was paid for by Canadian Muslim Vote, a group that also sponsored Liberal MP Salma Zahid and New Democrat MP Heather McPherson.
The rumors about Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage won’t go away, and that’s largely because neither of them has bothered to deny them. Despite media portrayals suggesting that Michelle has addressed the speculation, what we keep getting are vague, rehearsed soundbites that avoid saying anything definitive. Her excuse for skipping Trump’s inauguration — that she “had nothing to wear” — was laughable, especially coming from a former first lady with unlimited resources. And her brother’s attempt to vouch for the couple on a podcast only raised more eyebrows.
A man arrested almost two weeks ago for allegedly exposing himself and trying to urinate on strangers in Guelph has been arrested for a third time.
On May 16, the Guelph Police Service received several calls about a man approaching people downtown. They were told he was trying to urinate on people and attempted to grab women while touching himself.
A 26-year-old man was located and then arrested for committing and indecent act and mischief. He was released with orders not to be downtown between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Must be a thing in Guelph…

A South African woman and two accomplices were sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday for trafficking her then six-year-old daughter, in a case that has gained international attention since the child went missing last year.
Kelly Smith, her boyfriend, Jacquen Appollis, and their friend Steveno van Rhyn were convicted of kidnapping and trafficking the girl, Joshlin Smith, after she disappeared from a small township in the Western Cape.
Remember when car thefts were all the rage? News story after news story told us that this form of crime was skyrocketing in Canada: almost doubling in Ontario and Quebec, up by a third in Alberta, and a fifth in Atlantic Canada in 2022. People were flocking to buy newfangled locking mechanisms, and some owners even put retractable steel or concrete bollards in their driveways!
This scourge was indeed worrisome and received significant media coverage, but it has been superseded by another, much more dangerous one that has not been given nearly enough attention: terrorism arrests in Canada.
The government and media play down the threat with the subtext being that you’re a racist for daring to discuss it out loud.
Elon Musk announced that his time working in the Trump administration as a “Special Government Employee” is drawing to a close, and he thanked President Donald Trump.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote in a post on X. “The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
For Yao Zhang, the news came as a shock.
Sexually explicit, deepfake images of her were circulating widely online — an attack that Ottawa blamed on the Chinese government.
It wasn’t the first time Zhang had been targeted by China. Shortly after the Quebec-based accountant-turned-influencer travelled to Taiwan in January 2024 to support its independence, China’s national police paid a visit to her aunt in Chifeng, in mainland China.
Sigh …
What a sight to behold. Chinese billionaire Ruby Liu celebrates in Mandarin as she picks apart the carcass of Hudson's Bay— Canada’s oldest company.
