Bay Street insiders question Carney’s ‘placebo’ blind trust as Brookfield ties come under scrutiny

OTTAWA — During his leadership-race victory speech on Sunday, now Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney went off-script to take a shot at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“I know the leader of the Opposition is into full disclosure,” he quipped, gesticulating with his hands and raising his eyebrows, an apparent retort to Poilievre and the Conservatives’ criticism of Brookfield Asset Management’s decision to move its head office from Toronto to New York, last year, when Carney was still its chair.

Wife of Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell reveals husband’s untold encounters with UFOs that convinced him we’re not alone

Is there anyone more qualified than an astronaut to shed light on the existence of UFOs?

Now, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, the wife of one Apollo astronaut has revealed the secrets her husband shared before he died.

Anita Mitchell, who was married to the late NASA pilot Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon in 1971, said: ‘He always felt that there were UFOs out there, because so many of the pilots and astronauts had seen something.’

How Europe’s electric battery dream ran out of power

Setting ourselves stringent net zero targets will help us get ahead of other countries in the race to develop green technologies of the future. We know this must be true because Ed Miliband, and many others, keep telling us so. It is just that things don’t seem to be working out quite this way in the real world.

The collapse this week of the Swedish electric vehicle (EV) battery-maker Northvolt has once again shown how the countries most committed to net zero seem to be the ones which keep missing out on the spoils – while their industries drain away abroad, quite often to China.

Canada reconsidering F-35 purchase amid tensions with Washington, says minister

Payment for first 16 aircraft already made

Canada is actively looking at potential alternatives to the U.S.-built F-35 stealth fighter and will hold conversations with rival aircraft makers, Defence Minister Bill Blair said late Friday, just hours after being reappointed to the post as part of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new cabinet.

The remarks came one day after Portugal signalled it was planning to ditch its acquisition of the high-tech warplane.

The re-examination in this country is taking place amid the bruising political fight with the Trump administration over tariffs and threats from the American president to annex Canada by economic force.

Iran’s Mullahs Can Never Change, Never Be ‘Friends’

For more than four decades, many Western politicians have entertained the hope that negotiations with the Islamist regime in Iran might lead to a change in its behavior and attitude toward the West. Time and again, diplomatic overtures, economic incentives and concessions have been extended to Tehran in the hope that engagement could moderate its policies. Yet, every attempt at diplomacy has failed. Unfortunately, it will continue to fail. Like it or not, the nature of the Iranian regime is inseparable from its ideological foundations. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not a normal state, or even a conventional dictatorship. It is an ideological entity that derives its very identity from opposition to the United States, Israel and the West.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs pleads not guilty to updated indictment

Diddy and Clinton: Scumbags R’US

Sean “Diddy” Combs has pleaded not guilty to an amended indictment that includes new allegations of forced labour.

The superseding indictment alleges the rap mogul forced employees to work long hours under threat of physical and reputational harm and forced at least one worker to engage in sex acts with him.

Mr Combs’s lawyers have denied that the rap mogul has ever forced anyone into sex acts and that the case revolves around consensual relationships with his girlfriends, the New York Times reports.

Canadian Forces seeks sole source deal for U.S. weapons while Trump continues attacks on Canada

Canada’s military leadership is pushing for yet another sole source deal for American equipment despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s vow to economically damage this country and eventually annex it as the 51st state.

The Canadian Forces wants the Liberal government to purchase the U.S.-built High Mobility Artillery Rocket System or HIMARS, according to defence industry officials.

US launches wave of air strikes on Yemen’s Houthis

The US has launched a “decisive and powerful” wave of air strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, President Donald Trump has said, citing the armed group’s attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.

“Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at US aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies,” Trump wrote on his Truth social platform, adding this had cost “billions of dollars” and put lives at risk.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberal media jump on board ‘Team Carney’ campaign

Let’s begun by debunking the myth – aided and abetted by the liberal media – that Prime Minister Mark Carney killed carbon pricing on Friday through a cabinet decree.

The most egregious example of this was buried in a CBC report on Thursday that Carney was “once a proponent of carbon pricing” implying he no longer is, which is an example of media disinformation of the type CBC is constantly warning us about.

Lutnick on if U.S., Canada Ending Tariffs on Each Other Is Possible: We Want to Bring Jobs Back

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded to a question on if it’s possible to get to a place where the United States and Canada reciprocally end tariffs on each other by stating that “we want to bring back those jobs to America.”

Lutnick said, “Canada exists leaning on our economy. Let’s face it, cars used to be made in America. Why did Michigan’s cars move to Canada? To break out of the UAW. That’s just unfair to American workers and American union workers…

Opposition parties slam Trudeau cabinet’s future appointments to government agencies

Prime Minister Mark Carney should review a series of future appointments made by his predecessor’s government and shouldn’t automatically accept them, Green Party Co-Leader Elizabeth May said Friday.

In an interview with CBC News, May said appointments have to be filled but it was “a huge mistake” to make so many of those appointments in the final days of Justin Trudeau’s government.

“Any last-minute appointments of people who, I’m pretty sure, are likely to be Liberals, raises the worst possible political optics and it reinforces the idea that Trudeau was aiding and abetting his cronies throughout.”

Draft List for New Travel Ban Proposes Trump Target 43 Countries

The Trump administration is considering targeting the citizens of as many as 43 countries as part of a new ban on travel to the United States that would be broader than the restrictions imposed during President Trump’s first term, according to officials familiar with the matter.

A draft list of recommendations developed by diplomatic and security officials suggests a “red” list of 11 countries whose citizens would be flatly barred from entering the United States. They are Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen, the officials said.

Why doesn’t Mark Carney have a gender-balanced cabinet? Because it’s 2025

New prime minister Mark Carney didn’t go out of his way to be a champion for women with his cabinet choices unveiled at Rideau Hall on Friday — and that could be a deliberate effort to walk back what critics called the “woke” feminist brand of Justin Trudeau.

It might also be a reflection of how Carney has been leaning on a team heavily weighted with male advisers, as many have observed since his leadership campaign launched.

The Star is already running damage control for Carney.

A similar Conservative cabinet would be described as a new Dark Age descending upon our blighted land.

It’s fortunate for Poilievre the Liberal media continues to overplay its hand with biased reporting.
