GUNTER: Make no mistake, Mark Carney will win the Liberal leadership
Make no mistake, Mark Carney will win the Liberal leadership on March 9, one month from now, and become prime minister, at least for a few months.
I know Chrystia Freeland is also running. And Freeland deserves credit for performing one of the most merciful acts in Canadian political history — sticking the shiv into Justin Trudeau so that he finally, mercifully, took the hint and announced his resignation.
The Liberal problem is they have no one running who isn’t closely linked to the reviled Trudeau regime and that includes Carney who is at best Trudeau no.2.
The TDS bump in LPC polling fortunes won’t last forever. Once the truth about about Carney’s China, WEF, Climate Cult & UN links become more widely known he will be seen for what he is a globalist shill installed by the Laurentian Elite.
Despite the effort to paint him as a man with the common touch he comes across as the John Kerry of the north reader PA Cat aptly noted.
I gave police my burglar’s name and address — guess what happened
After being burgled six times in eight years, Paul Powlesland had given up on phoning the police.
But after two more break-ins, the barrister went to his local Metropolitan Police custody suite last week to ask for help. This time he was armed with something he was certain would bring the culprit to justice: he had left behind a bail form with his name and address on it.
“I was told quite rudely that there’s no police and I should try 101,” Powlesland said. “As if I was stupid for thinking that they might be able to help me.”
Ontario NDP pledges grocery rebate
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford touted his party’s border security measures amid the threat of U.S. tariffs, as the NDP focused on pocketbook issues Saturday with the promise of a monthly grocery rebate for millions of people.
Ford continued to hammer home his campaign message about protecting Ontario’s economy, saying that even though U.S. President Donald Trump has put off his tariff threats until early March, “an unprecedented economic risk” still looms.
Who is going to pay for this “rebate”?
BREAKING: Ontario NDP just announced food stamps for middle-class Canadians. You heard that correctly.
The economy is so bad under Liberal-NDP policies that working families can’t even afford food.
Socialism alive and strong in Canada

‘You’re fired’: The people Trump has sacked since taking office
President Donald Trump took over the White House less than a month ago, and in keeping with his reality television show catchphrase from The Apprentice – “You’re Fired” – he has already removed more than 200 employees.
Some amount of turnover is typical for a new administration, but Trump has made massive changes during his first weeks in office. He offered buyouts to millions of government workers and put a stop to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes.
On Friday, Trump fired the nation’s top record keeper, US Archivist Colleen Shogan.
For some it is a shock to see a President do what he was elected to do.
LILLEY: Does Trudeau really want to save our economy from Trump’s tariffs?
On Friday, Justin Trudeau will host the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit to “galvanize business and investment across Canada.” The summit will not include any Americans, despite the name, and will instead see Canadian business and labour representatives discuss matters with Trudeau and long-defeated politicians.
Southport families: We’re looking for light in the darkness
The parents of Bebe King and Elsie Dot Stancombe want the world to know what they were like — their joy, jokes and dreams — as they relive that awful July day
Elsie Dot Stancombe and Bebe King never knew one another, but their parents believe they were alike and could have been friends. They use the same words to describe their daughters: confident, happy, emotionally intelligent, enthusiastic, affectionate. Both girls cared deeply about others.
SHOCKA! Muslim – Jewish Relations In Canada Considered Bad By Many According To Poll
OTTAWA — As conflicts continue to erupt around the globe, a new survey suggests that Canadians are anxious about relationships between groups here at home — particularly between Muslim and Jewish Canadians.
The survey of 1,578 Canadians, conducted by Leger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies between Jan. 17 and 19, 2025, asked respondents for their perceptions of relations between Muslim, Jewish, Indigenous, white and other Canadians.
Across Canada, 43 per cent of respondents said the relationship between Muslim and Jewish Canadians was “bad.”
As expected the Islamist apologists are out in force …
Deborah Lyons, Canada’s special envoy on combating antisemitism, said in a media statement that public perceptions of the relationship between Canadian Muslims and Jews don’t always reflect real life. “In truth, these communities share far more in common than many assume, including resilience and perseverance in combating hate and discrimination,” Lyons said.
&
“This may indeed be what Canadians think, but it reflects a false and widespread misconception that Israel-Palestine is fundamentally a religious conflict between Jews and Muslims, rather than a political issue about human rights and international law,” Bueckert said.

John Fetterman: Democrats may not win back white men
Democratic Senator John Fetterman has claimed that it may not “possible” for the party to win back white men.
In a new interview with Puck’s Tara Palmieri, Fetterman offered a stark assessment of the Democrats’ ability to regain support among white male voters. Asked about how the party could win white men “like himself” back, Fetterman responded: “I’m not sure if that’s possible, to be honest.” He then warned that support among that demographic had been “seriously eroding for a while”. What’s more, “In some cases, people don’t even want to say it publicly […] but they just feel like the other side seems to be saying, ‘Men are the problem.’”

Canada vs Elon Musk: Targeting the world’s richest man has its risks and rewards
As Canada and the U.S. careened toward a trade war this past weekend, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, found himself in the crosshairs.
First, Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland proposed slapping 100 per cent tariffs on cars made by Tesla Inc., Musk’s electric vehicle company. “We need to be very targeted, very surgical and precise. We need to look through and say who is supporting Trump and … make them pay,” she said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
Stretched defence budget put towards ‘woke’ rally car mudflaps
Defence Secretary ‘speechless’ at MoD splashing out £5m on electric racers as he strives to cut out waste
Cash from the stretched military budget was splurged on sponsoring a “Formula Woke” racing team, an audit of defence spending has revealed.
Taxpayers’ money meant for front-line troops was instead used to emblazon the Ministry of Defence’s logo on the mudflaps of an electric rally car.
John Healey, the Defence Secretary, has now cancelled the £5 million contract with McLaren after being left “speechless” by the “waste”.
‘Should I just laugh?’: Energy experts question Freeland’s pledge to push LNG
OTTAWA – Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland’s pitch to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to allies is drawing skeptical reactions from those who say her government neglected the sector over the past decade.
The former finance minister’s policy statement on jobs and growth, released on Feb. 5, includes a pledge to “seize the opportunity to make Canada an energy superpower, from powering our grids with hydro to exporting liquefied natural gas to our allies.”
BERNARDO: Crisis control and the Liberal leadership race
Justin Trudeau’s time as Prime Minister is marked by strategic alliances and policy shifts with a single goal: to keep him in power.
His political maneuverings are finally running out of steam and, with disastrous approval ratings, deepening economic hardship, and a string of scandals, even the party he brought back from the dead is preparing for life after Trudeau.
