Just three more years of deficit to invest in growing the Canadian economy, and then we’ll get right back to balance.
If Mark Carney’s pledge sounds like something you’ve heard before, that’s because Justin Trudeau made a very similar commitment a mere ten years ago.
To refresh your memory, Canada was undergoing what is called a technical recession during the 2015 election campaign.
In a typical year, elections on the sparsely populated island of Greenland would probably go unnoticed by the rest of the world. However, with President Trump’s vow that “one way or another” America will acquire it, the international spotlight is turning to the frigid island.
Newly-appointed Liberal leader Mark Carney told reporters on Parliament Hill Monday afternoon that though he is not yet installed in the role of prime minister, it won’t be long.
“I’m not prime minister yet,” replied Carney when asked about next steps in the trade war with President Donald Trump.
JD Vance may be the vice president of the United States, but he’s also the father of three young children. On Saturday, he was spending a little quality time with his youngest child in Cincinnati — or trying to anyway — when a group of pro-Ukraine protesters followed them and shouted at the three-year-old little girl, making her “anxious and scared.”
After reminding Canadians of the recent tariff threats and the musing of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, we asked if the Canadian government should look into joining the European Union. 44% of Canadians think that the Canadian government definitely or probably should look into joining the European Union, while 34% are opposed to it. About 1 in 4 Canadians are unsure about the suggestion.
As if the Liberals and NDP aren’t already economy wreckers now they want the EU to help!
Socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has shocked many for including a transgender punk rocker in his rally who belted out a song containing offensive lyrics that are being blasted as “pure evil.”
The Sanders rally which drew about 3,500 attendees occurred in Somers, Wisconsin, on Friday where Sanders — who is working to become the face of Trump resistance — invited punker Laura Jane Grace, the transgender head of the band Against Me!, to perform for the left-wing crowd.
As widely expected, Mark Carney has become the new Liberal party of Canada leader — and will become Canada’s next prime minister.
The former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor won by an overwhelming margin on Sunday, taking 85.9 percent of the vote. Former Liberal deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland finished a distant second with 8 percent. Carney will now meet with outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to set a timetable for the transition of power.
Foul play “not been ruled out” by the White House after jet fuel-carrying tanker ship, indirectly contracted to the U.S. Department of Defence as part of its “times of need” emergency reserve, burns off the east coast of the United Kingdom after it was struck by a container ship.
OTTAWA — Mark Carney may have been crowned leader of the Liberal party by casting himself as a political outsider, but his skills as a politician need work, say some of his supporters.
Carney walked into an Ottawa convention centre Sunday as the presumed front-runner of the four candidates who were vying to replace Justin Trudeau as leader and prime minister.
“@MarkJCarney …climate change from a human mortality perspective will be the equivalent of a coronavirus crisis every year from the middle of this century, and every year, not just a one-off event. So it is an issue that needs to be addressed now.” https://t.co/fiSgYHAvGe

Premier Doug Ford has made good on his threat to slap a 25 per cent surcharge on electricity sold to the U.S. in retaliation for President Donald Trump‘s tariffs.
Raising an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 per day, the “tariff response charge” will be paid by utilities in New York, Michigan and Minnesota importing power from generators of electricity in Ontario.
Line 5? Bueller? Anyone?
It looks like X (FKA Twitter) has some significant issues for a third time in one day, as users are once again reporting problems logging in and viewing the popular social media service.

Washington — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday the Trump administration had finished its six-week purge of programs of the six-decade-old U.S. Agency for International Development, and said he would move the 18% of aid and development programs that survived under the State Department.
Rubio made the announcement in a post on X. It marked one of his relatively few public comments on what has been a historic shift away from U.S. foreign aid and development, executed by Trump political appointees at State and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency teams.
Canada gives $272M in aid to Bangladesh, Indo-Pacific as USAID shuttered
Canada’s Minister of International Development, Ahmed Hussen, unveiled $272.1 million in new funding on Sunday for foreign aid projects in Bangladesh and the Indo-Pacific region.
“Canada continues to fiercely strengthen our long-lasting friendship with Bangladesh and the wider Indo-Pacific region with our long-standing people-to-people ties,” Hussen said in a statement. “By supporting vulnerable communities’ healthcare services, empowering women and addressing climate change, we are creating a brighter tomorrow for the global community.”
Bangladesh is number 24 on the Open Doors World Watch List, which ranks the countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution.
To Liberals stealing your money is their right.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk have clashed with Poland’s foreign minister over the use of the tech billionaire’s Starlink satellite internet system in Ukraine.
Musk said on X that Ukraine’s “entire front line” would collapse if he turned the system off. Radoslaw Sikorski responded, saying his country paid for its use in Ukraine and a threat to shut it down would result in a search for another network.
Rubio dismissed Sikorski’s claims and told him to be grateful, while Musk called him a “small man”.
