What do you get when a “No Kings” rally meets an aging, TDS-laden rock star? A sweaty Bruce “Screamsteen” delivering a teleprompter-fueled rant at Nationals Park in the nation’s capital on May 27, while posing as a moral crusader. Only it was giving less, “I have a dream,” by a respected leader preaching against injustice and more, “I have a grievance list,” by a multimillionaire railing against the rich.
Canadians remain broadly supportive of the country’s original assisted dying law, but new polling suggests support weakens sharply when eligibility is expanded to include people who are not near death or those seeking MAiD for mental illness alone.
A new Angus Reid Institute survey released Monday found 77% of Canadians still support the original 2016 Medical Assistance in Dying framework, which applied to people whose deaths were reasonably foreseeable and who were suffering from a severe and irremediable condition.

The Bidens want to restore Joe Biden’s legacy after his disastrous presidency and his Hindenburg-style campaign collapse, and phase one is Jill Biden’s forthcoming memoir. The next step will be Joe Biden’s inevitable presidential memoir, which is sure to have quite a few doozies in it, but for now, we have Jill’s, and if she thought her book would “set the record straight” and the Democrat Party would be thrilled, well, that’s not what’s happening at all. Instead, it’s setting the Democrat Party on fire — and the people most enraged are the ones who spent years covering for Joe Biden.
“I’m going to draw on an insight from the Finnish president, my friend Alexander Stubb, who observed that people consistently — myself included — do three things: over-rationalize the past, over-dramatize the present and underestimate the future.”
This is what Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told a room full of attendees at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.
Jennifer Lopez’ Daughter Emme has now come out identifying as a transgender “boy” named Oskar Muñiz after graduating from high school.
🇺🇸🚨 DIRECTO AL MANICOMIO: La hija de Jennifer Lopez, Emme Muñiz, ahora se identifica como varón y pidió cambiarse el nombre, algo similar a lo ocurrido en la familia de su exesposo, Ben Affleck, donde sus hijos se identifican como “no binarios”. pic.twitter.com/yuZz4xkjxC

Exactly one month from now, Canada’s trading relationship with the United States could blow up. By July 1, representatives of Canada, the United States and Mexico need to meet and decide whether to agree to another 16 years of CUSMA, agree to annual reviews, or see one or more parties withdraw with six months’ notice.
I think it is rather amusing that the United Kingdom is more concerned with preventing speakers the government dislikes from entering the country than with actual illegal immigrants who are an active danger to their country.
But I do not, in principle, have a problem with the idea that a country would want to ban entry to people whom it considers harmful to public order. In fact, I think they should do it more, and apply a stricter standard to those who are trying to stay there. If the UK did that, 75% of the political discord the leaders are worried about would go away, and having speakers arrive to bitch about how racist the country is (Piker, Uygur) or how it is being invaded (Tommy Robinson speakers) wouldn’t be a problem.
Clinicians at Halifax’s IWK Health Centre say more young patients are arriving with severe symptoms tied to high-potency cannabis — and their symptoms are taking much longer to clear, even after they stop using the drug.
Dr. Kyle Godden, an inpatient psychiatrist at the IWK, said youth using high-potency products experience more severe episodes and require longer hospital care.
Godden recalled a young male patient who came into the hospital with severe paranoia, agitation and hallucinations.
A suspected Russian oil tanker has been detained in the Atlantic, France has announced, in the latest seizure aimed at combatting Moscow’s “shadow fleet” of vessels contravening international sanctions.
The Tagor was detained on Sunday morning in international waters more than 400 nautical miles (740km) west of Brittany with the help of the UK and other partners, said the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
According to French authorities, the vessel was on its way from Murmansk in north-west Russia when it was seized.
The government can reduce its spending while better targeting those genuinely in need
The Carney government regularly describes its fiscal approach as “ambitious” and “transformational,” but in reality it’s simply perpetuating a fiscal decline that’s plunging Canada deeper into red ink. To truly transform federal finances, the Carney government must reduce spending, even in areas that are politically unpopular. And to truly be ambitious, it should start by reducing elderly benefits – Ottawa’s largest single spending item.

The US has said it hit Iranian military sites over the weekend while Tehran said it responded by targeting a US base, marking the third escalation in a week around the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command (Centcom) said it launched “self-defence strikes” in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, which included a US drone being shot down over international waters.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted an air base used by US forces for an attack on Iran.
Is Canada’s systemic anti-Israel bias and preoccupation with political correctness and “anti-racism” preventing it from taking action against radicalization happening right under our noses?
The recent revelation that some attendees at a youth-focused talk at last week’s Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) convention in Toronto wrote “Jew free” in answer to a question about “what kind of community” they want to build, and that it was then prominently projected onto a screen with no objections from the audience or organizers, is not the first time the charity has been engulfed in controversy.
A mouse plague is terrorising farmers across large swathes of Australia, with the rodents running rampant around homes and ravaging fields of grain.
It comes as farmers are already under pressure from unpredictable fuel and fertiliser supplies due to the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran.
This new battle has seen farmers pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into either re-planting crops that have been devoured by the mice or spending precious farming hours laying down bait – sterile seeds laced with mouse poison.
Australian farmers are battling a massive mouse plague, with rodents damaging crops, increasing costs and disrupting rural communities.

Remember the story of a Prairie farmer who comes home to find his crops destroyed by hail, his house struck by lightning, and his wife running off with the hired hand? He shakes his fist at the sky and screams: “Goddamn the CPR!”
If you grew up in Alberta, you remember.
Pete Hegseth has told America’s allies in Asia they cannot “freeload” on defence and must increase spending to counter China’s military build-up.
The US defence secretary said the United States would no longer subsidise their allies, echoing Donald Trump’s message to Nato leaders to shoulder more of the military burden and reduce reliance on Washington.
The Pentagon chief told a security conference in Singapore: “The era of the United States subsidising the defence of wealthy nations is over.”
