SWIFT: To know Carney is not to love him

In the barrage of pronouncements coming at Canadians from Liberal leader Mark Carney, two words have been conspicuously absent — net zero. This concept, meaning the achievement of a state in which there are no net greenhouse gases produced by human activity, has been Carney’s principal obsession for at least the last decade. It has been the driving force behind his work with the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, international financial bodies and investment companies. Yet we don’t hear a peep from him about net zero during this critical election period.

Meet the Ecosexuals: People Who Have Sex With Trees, Mud and Lumps of Coal to Somehow Save the Planet

Of all the things we have to blame the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020-21 for, perhaps the most unexpected is that some desperate people used them as a handy opportunity to begin having sex with trees. In 2020, a 45-year-old Canadian “somatic sex educator” named Sonja Semjonova was going out on her daily walk permitted to her by the Trudeau Taliban, when she came across (perhaps even literally) a giant oak tree by the side of a path in British Colombia. Perceiving “a connection” with the tree, Sonja began to “lie against it” loving the “feeling of being tiny and supported by something more solid” and “not being able to fall”.

The Breakfast Club Cast’s 40-Year Reunion Shows Why A Modern Remake Would Never Work

If you’ve been a teenager in the last 40 years, you’re sure to feel some nostalgia when you think of the characters in The Breakfast Club coming together at the end of the film. So it’s a bit bittersweet to learn that the cast actually never got together afterward.

That changed this month, however, when the five stars of the film reunited in their first public appearance since the film’s 1985 release.

Conservative candidate target of election ‘repression operation,’ task force says

A Conservative candidate critical of Hong Kong laws is the target of a “transnational repression operation,” Canada’s election interference task force said on Monday.

The campaign to discredit Joe Tay, who is running for the Tories in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North, is taking place on Chinese-language social media platforms as well as Facebook and TikTok.

Who will be the next pope? First Asian pontiff leading the race

With the death of Pope Francis at the age of 88, the world’s attention now turns to who will replace him.

Predicting who will be chosen as the next leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics is notoriously fraught with difficulties. In theory, any baptised Catholic male could be made Pope.

In practice, however, the next pontiff will likely be drawn from the cardinals who will gather in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican for the secret papal election known as the conclave.

Pope Francis latest: stroke named as cause of death

Carney’s Liberal platform is almost alarmingly Trudeau-esque

Releasing a detailed, costed platform is quite rightly seen as a basic obligation of a political campaign. You don’t necessarily need one to win , but if everyone has one other than you people certainly have a right to ask why you don’t . Every party claims to have a plan; surely they should at least be able to put it down on paper and have some basic idea of how much it will cost.

All that said, the Liberals may well be worse off for releasing their platform over the weekend. Seeing Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s vision on paper, all in one place, is somehow more jarring than hearing it piecemeal. Even straight-up headlines like “Liberal platform promises $130 billion in new measures over four years, adding $225 billion to federal debt” (per the CBC), will likely not have landed well with Canadians looking to move on definitively from a decade of Trudeaunomics.

Government report predicts 2040 dystopia: Collapsed economy, hunting for food

OTTAWA — It’s a dystopian future where wealth and property ownership is entirely generational, post-secondary education is no longer a key to success and hungry Canadians resort to poaching wildlife to feed their families.

While this is quickly becoming a reality for more and more Canadians, an internal government report from Policy Horizons Canada warns these horrors could become everyday life in Canada as early as 2040, returning society to one based on inter-generational wealth — with land barons and an aristocracy usually found only in history books.
Entitled “Future Lives: Social mobility in question,” the report paints a picture of what life in Canada could soon be like if current economic policy stays the course.

How Pope Francis will be remembered

Modern popes, for better or for worse, tend to be defined in soundbites.

John Paul II’s clarion call of “Be not afraid” became emblematic of his invitation to young Catholics to embrace their faith and his rallying of the West against the specter of international communism. Benedict XVI’s great theological career, and his term as a pope in the model of priest and professor, remains summed up in his simple declaration that Deus caritas est. For Francis, the world will likely remember, in the immediate weeks after his death anyway, his often quoted, though often misrepresented, motto of “who am I to judge?”

United Church of Canada removes Jesus, features ‘spiritual drag clown’ in ‘bold reimagining’ of Last Supper

United Church Freakshow

The United Church of Canada has unveiled its version of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, featuring an entirely new cast of characters.

The piece, which marked not only Holy Thursday but the church’s 100th anniversary, was created to “challenge tradition depictions” of the iconic scene, and emphasizes “support for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, Racial Equity, Disability Justice, and engagement in struggles for peace and human rights.”

I find myself nostalgic for burnings at the stake.

‘We’re behind’: some senior Conservatives call out central campaign for failing to focus more on Trump’s tariffs

As the election campaign enters its final stretch and advance voting begins, some Conservatives are voicing concerns that the party’s messaging of focusing heavily on the cost of living and not enough on the pressing American trade war reflects a troubling disconnect.

They warn that this misalignment is putting the party at risk in key strongholds, and opening the door to serious Liberal challenges in seven ridings in Alberta, long considered the bedrock of the Conservative base.

‘The system isn’t working for them’: Why young men are rallying around Poilievre

For Cole Theule, age 19, voting day on April 28 will be his first time casting a ballot in a federal election. The Winnipeg native who is studying at the University of Ottawa, comes from a family with a tradition of supporting the New Democratic Party, provincially and federally. His father even worked to help local NDP candidates.

“Acceptance, inclusion, encouraging immigration, those kinds of ideas, as well as wealth distribution such as higher taxes for the rich and more government-assisted programs, were all things I was taught growing up,” Theule said.
