OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s new pitch for separate federal operating and capital budgets has some Albertans feeling a tinge of déjà vu, and not the warm and fuzzy sort.
Trevor Tombe, an economist at the University of Calgary, says he immediately noticed the similarities between Carney’s proposal and short-lived accounting rules introduced by then Alberta Progressive Conservative premier Alison Redford more than a decade ago.
The Conservatives have brought Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s business investments into the spotlight , particularly as pertains to a company called ‘Stripe’.
Carney joined the board of directors at Stripe, a global tech company worth $65 billion that “builds economic infrastructure for the internet,” on February 21, 2021, according to the company’s website. Stripe facilitates the internet operations of tech giants like Amazon, Zoom, Slack and Wayfair.
If you spend any time online (particularly after Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show), you’ll find memes saying that blacks built America, a black woman wrote Shakespeare’s work, and black Africans built Western civilization. I’m not convinced.
And finally, the corrupt and wrongheaded FBI might just get cleaned out.
One of the most rancid elements of the corrupt Washington establishment is the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which the Biden regime utilized as one of its foremost attacks dogs in its endeavor to criminalize political opposition and intimidate Americans into silence about its sinister polices. Now, however, the Trump administration is sending in a man to clean house, and the bureau may actually be forced to start investigating threats to the American people instead of harassing and persecuting the American people themselves.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance was firing insults at Europe like ballistic missiles before taking office — emulating his mentor President Donald Trump.
Vance recently lobbed verbal grenades at European officials over a growing culture of tech censorship. They deserved it. In July of 2024, he took aim at the UK over millions of Muslim migrants that have flooded the country in recent years.

The Energiewende has led to sky-high energy costs and political instability – for no environmental benefit.
Almost every country on Earth today has pledged to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions. The vast majority of them have also set spurious target dates for doing so – usually by 2050. So far, only a handful of industrialised countries have succeeded in almost fully decarbonising their electricity grids. They have only achieved this with a heavy baseload of either nuclear power and / or hydropower.
Elon Musk posted on his X social media platform on Wednesday, celebrating President Trump’s designation of numerous Mexican and other Latin American drug cartels as foreign terrorist organisations (FTOs). The designation, Musk said, meant that the cartels would be “eligible for drone strikes.”
Are you kidding me?
Tell me the pollster got it wrong.
Tell me the mathematics got all mixed up. Maybe they missed putting in a decimal point somewhere.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a fresh crisis after his lawyer Anthony Ricco stepped down from his legal team with a very cryptic statement.
In a motion for withdraw of counsel filed in New York on Thursday, Ricco said ‘under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs’.
The notice added that discussions had been had with lead counsel Marc Agnifilo and Ricco before the motion was filed.

My interest and concern regarding the war in Ukraine come naturally. My mother was born in Ukraine, and her story of harrowing flight from her village with her mother and brother in the middle of a snowstorm in the dead of night, pursued by a squad of White Russians and Ukrainian irregulars, remains fresh in my mind.
My father was born in the Russian oblast (administrative division) of Georgia near the border of South Ossetia, Stalin’s home region, and was the spitting image of the Russian tyrant — short, muscular, with a heavy mustache, a tendency to violence, and, like Stalin, played the piano. A racketeer who had the mayor of Montreal in his pay, he kept an enemies list and occasionally acted on it. In some sense, a domestic version of the Russia-Ukraine conflict occurred in my own home.

Oh, Canada’s Liberal leadership race — could it be any more fixed and favouring the few?
It’s like watching a rerun of a show you never liked in the first place. The contenders are all singing the same tired tune, obsessing over Trump’s tariff threats as if they’re the only issue that matters, while conveniently ignoring the real challenges that shape the Great White North.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller accused Canadian universities of sourcing too many students from India, and said he expects a better “diversity” of international students in future.
He also said Canada needs to return to relying on “quality” over “quantity” of immigrants. “I think we do need to make sure that the Canadian brand does focus on excellence, on quality, and less quantity,” he said.
How about none from anywhere? A few bankrupt universities is not the loss some imagine.
If you watch nothing else online this year take it from me and watch last week’s speech by US Vice-President J.D. Vance at the annual Munich Security Conference. It’s only 19 minutes long, including all the preamble pleasantries. It’s delivered by a man who is not afraid to tell hard truths, even to friends. And boy-oh-boy did the assembled European elites hate what they were told. To say that the applause was muted would be a gross exaggeration. It was more stunned silence and the gritting of teeth from the assembled Eurocracy.
It is remarkable the impact this speech is having around the world.
STRATFORD, NEW JERSEY — The closest Canadian stronghold to Donald Trump’s Trade-War-A-Lago is a bright, spacious fortress with plenty of free parking in the suburbs of Philadelphia, 230 kilometres northeast of the Oval Office. It is a command centre and commissariat where the True North is revered, the current American president is reviled, annexation will be strenuously resisted, and a Maple Dip costs US$1.81, tax included.
A bit ironic that the article features Tim Horton’s a foreign owned and long faded national icon known more for its substandard 3rd World service than as a symbol of “Canadiana”.
