OTTAWA — The NDP’s campaign launch, held in the eastern Montreal riding of Hochelaga-Rosemont-Est Sunday night, was as modest as its chances in the province.
The local NDP candidate, Julie Girard-Lemay, a spunky human rights lawyer and activist, was busy shaking hands with her fellow candidates and dozens of supporters huddled in her campaign office — a Mexican restaurant that recently closed — on Ontario Street.
Lucky for her, the walls of the restaurant were already painted orange.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday drew public attention to a report that shows Mark Carney in October, while chair of Brookfield Asset Management, brokered a deal with Chinese bankers.
A month prior to Carney’s trip to China, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made him chair of the Liberals’ Task Force on Economic Growth.
Imagine you’re in the center of a mob. A bunch of punks on bicycles are beating you half to death–let’s assume you’re disarmed for some reason–and you’re not sure you’ll survive. Then you see it: A white car with flashing blue lights. You’re saved!
Only, you’re not. The officer never exits the vehicle. She just sits inside and watches, possibly recording it on the dash cam, but doing absolutely nothing else.
It seems that lying for Mark Carney comes so casually, he doesn’t even realize it. On Monday, the Liberal leader tried to fib to the Canadian public about both a call with Donald Trump and about his desire to take part in a French language debate.
Neither statement would last the day before being proven to be false.
“Why not? Yes, yes,” Carney said when he was asked about taking part in the French language debate by TV station TVA.
With everything else going on in the world, we seem to have forgotten that misgendering is still happening.

Canada’s conservative leader wants to win the nation’s April 28 national elections and is hammering Justin Trudeau’s replacement for supporting the massive legal immigration that has caused massive pocketbook damage to ordinary Canadians.
The Conservative Party candidate is Pierre Poilievre. He is campaigning against Mark Carney, an international banker and Goldman Sachs executive who replaced the disgraced Justin Trudeau as head of Canada’s Liberal Party.

An “act of faith” worth 5.8 billion euros to the “new Syria”: The Donors Conference organized by the European Union certifies the change of pace in the West’s relations with Damascus after the fall of Bashar Assad’s regime and the arrival to power of Ahmad al Sharaa, known as “al Julani”. The conference raised 5.8 billion euros in loans and grants, 80 percent of which from the EU. From the Commission alone, Ursula von der Leyen announced, 2.5 billion euros are arriving in Damascus.
Six billion a week after the worst religious pogrom in recent history?
A new regime ruled by a former jihadist who until December had a $10 million bounty on his head, who is building an Islamic dictatorship and who has just organized a religious pogrom of Alawites?
The Department of Government Efficiency is providing a public service—though not only in the way its supporters intend. In its push to streamline the bureaucracy, DOGE has sent federal unions into a frenzy of opposition, underscoring the need for a long-overdue reform: ending collective bargaining for federal employees.
Federal unions have fought DOGE’s right-sizing efforts at every turn. They have discouraged workers from accepting the Trump administration’s buyout offers, led protests against agency workforce reductions, and filed lawsuits to block DOGE’s actions. Their goal is simple: to preserve an unsustainable status quo, in which unelected bureaucrats wield power over ordinary Americans.
President Trump is nothing if not strong-willed, and he’s the leader of the mightiest nation on Earth — but there’s one power even Mr. Trump can’t afford to discount.
It’s the power of nationalism and national pride, which Trump himself harnessed to win two terms in the White House.
US President Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, said last week that he does not rule out the possibility that the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas could be politically active in the Gaza Strip after it disarms. “They [Hamas] need to demilitarize, and then they might be politically involved in Gaza,” Witkoff said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that was aired on March 21.
No matter how the political experts want to slice it, there was a lot of energy around Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on his first full day of campaigning.
Poilievre was on fire Monday, clearly hitting the ground running on what he knows is the opportunity of his lifetime to achieve what three Conservative leaders were not able to in prior federal elections.
PBS News Weekend helped their brethren at NPR promote a podcast series on Sunday in a segment headlined “How online misinformation is ‘supercharging’ conspiracy theories.” Podcaster Zach Mack made a three-part podcast on how his conservative Christian father has gone down a “rabbit hole” of conspiracy thinking, causing a deep rift in his family. One might imagine doing a podcast on Dad losing his marbles isn’t going to heal the rift.
It appears some key industries facing the threat of new U.S. tariffs may be spared from President Donald Trump’s next shot in his global trade war — at least for the moment.
Speaking on background, a White House official told CBC News that despite Trump’s repeated threats about sector-specific tariffs, they may not actually happen next month.
“Obviously POTUS has talked a lot about sectoral tariffs, but we may have sectoral tariffs on April 2 and we may not,” the official said in an email.
Monarchs strive to make their mark on history, but King George V could never have imagined that, almost 90 years after his death, he would go viral on social media.
His majesty’s extraordinary resurgence involves decapitation, theft, political protest, a republican Belfast rap group, and an ongoing cat-and-mouse chase between criminals and Australian police.
