Carney’s ‘values’ the wrong ones at the wrong time

For those who haven’t had the misfortune of parsing through Mark Carney’s ‘Values,’ it reads like a sermon from a high priest of globalism — polished, preachy, and packed with ideas that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who cares about Canada’s economy, especially Western energy producers.

Writing as the former Bank of Canada governor and a darling of the Liberal elite, Carney pitches a vision of ‘sustainable finance,’ net-zero absolutism, and heavy-handed regulation. To the National Citizens Coalition, it’s clear: this isn’t a roadmap to prosperity, it’s a wrecking ball aimed at the heart of Canada’s resource sector and the West’s economic lifeline.

Are the Democrats drifting further Left?

The Democrats are at a historic ebb and now is a good time to examine what the party believes in, who its main protagonists are and what their agenda is. Amid the fraught divisions in the party, however, one faction is emerging strong: the Big Red One.

That the Left of the party is in the ascendancy is evident at both the local and national level. Rather than let the fallout of Donald Trump’s tariffs speak for itself, the new head of the Democratic National Committee engaged in mad fighting talk. Ken Martin said: “We’re coming. This is a new Democratic Party. We’re taking the gloves off.” Martin draws his support from the likes of prominent anti-Israel figure Attorney General Keith Ellison. He is also a close ally of Left-leaning Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz, who just released a textbook for students that echoes Critical Race Theory, including an attack on “racial capitalism”.

Taming the military-transfer complex

Dwight Eisenhower sounded the alarm about the military-industrial complex. What he did not anticipate was the military-transfer complex.

The military-transfer complex emerged in the Great Society Programs launched by Lyndon Johnson at the height of the Vietnam War. Politicians decided that we could have both guns and butter. Much of this military-transfer complex was financed with debt.

Gilbert and George: the last honest chroniclers of London

No other artists have dared capture the tragicomedy of the capital’s multiculturalism.

Art duo Gilbert and George object to the term ‘gentrification’ to describe the ongoing overhaul to the east London neighbourhood that has been their home for almost 60 years. ‘We think it’s classist and sexist, because you’d never say ladyfication. Or Jewification. Or blackification. Or Bangladeshification’, they once informed the Guardian, with their signature prankishness. ‘They’ve only got it in for white people. It’s punishing the honkies.’

Stuck between Trump and China, Canada faces a stacked the deck

The ache of Donald Trump’s Liberation Day noir will go beyond disaster for thousands of Canadians who lose their jobs and see their savings debased by stagflation and battered markets. There will also be historic political implications for whoever forms Canada’s next government.

While we were “spared” the heavier blows that Trump placed on many other countries, Canadian households very much face a painful future of reduced incomes, diminished nest eggs and higher living costs.

Canada is entering its greatest existential upheaval since Confederation. Besides Trump duties that will make Canadian autos, steel and aluminum less affordable to U.S. customers, China has slapped exorbitant tariffs on Canadian canola, seafood and pork exports that will punish farming and commercial fishing families.

Second World War bomber with British airman found 82 years after being shot down

A Second World War bomber, shot down by the Nazis with a British airman aboard, has been found after 82 years.

Leslie Norman Row, from Gravesend, Kent, was flying a mission over the Mediterranean when his Baltimore Bomber was attacked. The aircraft, part of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), crashed off the Greek island of Antikythera, with Mr Row and two comrades losing their lives.

After almost 82 years of uncertainty, divers discovered the bomber 61 metres beneath the Aegean Sea.

“Geofenced Every Event”: Democrats Caught Staging Another ‘Inorganic’ Color Revolution Operation Against Trump

Far-left, billionaire-funded NGOs—closely aligned with the rudderless and imploding Democratic Party—have been waging a psychological warfare operation against the American people. Framed as “grassroots,” the party of hate and violence—evident in their “Tesla Takedown” color revolution aimed at killing Tesla to pressure Elon Musk on DOGE—has been building momentum in recent weeks to segue into anti-Trump protests this weekend. The goal is to manufacture the illusion that Trump is wildly unpopular, leveraging a vast network of dark money-funded NGOs that supply rent-a-protesters to rallies nationwide.

McTEAGUE: I don’t believe these polls!

Cards on the table, I’m skeptical of the current state of the polling in this election. My sense is that Mark Carney and the Liberals’ numbers are, at least in part, a byproduct of sympathetic pollsters over-sampling their key demographics, and those being trumpeted to high heaven by the publicly-funded media. That, coupled with voters’ justifiable annoyance at Donald Trump’s “51st State” cracks and tariff threats, has contributed to an illusion of enthusiasm, a sense that they are running away with this thing.

That said, one polling data point has struck me as being both real and important. A recent Abacus Data poll showed that, when you cut out all the distractions, Canadians’ biggest concern remains our inflated cost of living. And that is an issue which clearly favors Poilievre and the Conservatives.

John Ibbitson: Poilievre’s critics are dead wrong. We do, in fact, need to talk about family fertility

Pierre Poilievre took flak this week for speaking out about couples who want to have children but who are running out of time. His critics are dead wrong.

Economic challenges and government policies are making it harder than in the past for couples who want children to have them. Political leaders should be trying to overcome those challenges, rather than waving them away or fussing over the words we use to talk about them. Canada’s fertility crisis should also not exclusively be a concern of the Right. It should be mainstream.

Elites Hate Trump’s Tariffs Because They Work

Pay attention to who is melting down the most over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump implemented this week. It’s the same wealthy Wall Street elites and career politicians who have been exploiting American workers and pillaging the middle class for decades.

Water boy Carney’s backers are scared they’ll lose their spot at the public trough.

There is only one way for Canada to deal with Donald Trump

A few weeks ago, I argued that the strongest political opposition to Donald Trump resided right here in Canada.

Turns out, that’s an increasingly dangerous place to be.

As the latest round of tariffs on our automotive sector prove, it’s an increasingly economically painful place to be.

And if Donald Trump’s musings over a third term are to be believed — and they should — that may be the case not just for four years, but for at least eight. A near decade more of economic coercion and geopolitical volatility.

Less deranged than is usual for the Star.
