LILLEY: Liberals can’t sweep voting irregularities under rug

The mess that was the Ontario Liberal nomination race in Scarborough Southwest can’t simply be swept under the rug. The party is facing serious allegations of wrongdoing in the vote that happened over the weekend, and those must be answered, not ignored.

Nate Erskine-Smith, who lost by 19 votes to Ahsanul Hafiz, has claimed that there were 34 more ballots counted than there were recorded voters. He also said there were “repeated and serious inconsistencies with respect to proof of identification” and said there were “problematic actions in the voting area.”


Nothing will be done, the Liberals are as corrupt as the Muslims.

Besides Mohammed Erskine-Smith is only upset because he lost.

Rubio asks ‘what’s the purpose’ of NATO alliance?

Rubio asks ‘what’s the purpose’ of NATO alliance?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio wonders what the point of the United States remaining in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is if countries in the alliance won’t help the United States when needed.

Rubio made the comments on Wednesday in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity aboard Air Force One en route to the summit in China. He questioned whether the countries are actually committed to an alliance with the U.S. after several NATO countries refused to grant the U.S. permission to use its air bases for operations in the war with Iran. Rubio was miffed with those countries’ decision.

All 11 teachers accused of creating toxic climate at Montreal school have their licences revoked

All 11 teachers accused of creating toxic climate at Montreal school have their licences revoked

All 11 teachers who were suspended in 2024 after being accused of fostering a toxic climate at a Montreal elementary school have had their licences revoked, according to the office of Quebec’s education minister.

Confirmation of the 11 licences being revoked came on the same day the Education Ministry made public a final report into the situation at Bedford elementary school.

The revocation of the licences is the latest development in a saga that reignited the debate around secularism in the province and raised concerns about religious indoctrination in Quebec schools.


Nowhere in the Gaslighting CBC article is it noted that the 11 suspended teachers were Muslims.

OTTAWA — Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he believes there is “religious infiltration” and “Islamist infiltration” in Quebec schools in the wake of a sprawling controversy about a Montreal school where teachers were accused of creating a climate of terror.

Honda Posts First Ever Annual Loss After Pullback From EVs

Honda Posts First Ever Annual Loss After Pullback From EVs

Honda Motor on Thursday reported its first annual loss since becoming a publicly traded company in Japan seven decades ago, as the costly retreat from its ambitious electric-vehicle targets plunged earnings into the red.

The Japanese automaker reported a net loss of $2.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31. Earnings were weighed down by more than $9 billion in restructuring charges and write-downs following a retrenchment of its E.V. strategy. It is the first loss that the 77-year-old company has reported since listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1957.

Canada aims to double electricity grid capacity by 2050 as demand soars

Canada aims to double electricity grid capacity by 2050 as demand soars

Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday unveiled Canada’s new clean electricity strategy as electricity demand in Canada grows.

The plan aims to double the capacity of Canada’s grid by 2050, Carney said, adding that the federal government is launching consultations with provinces, territories, Indigenous groups, utility companies and unions.

“Over the coming decades, Canadians will use more electricity because many of the things we use every day, the cars we drive, the heaters in our home, the machines in our factories are switching to electric power. Doubling our grid to meet that demand won’t be easy,” Carney said.

Lots of pie in the sky.

What to know as Trump visits Xi in China

What to know as Trump visits Xi in China

US President Donald Trump is in Beijing on the first trip to China by an American leader since in his own previous visit, during his first term in 2017.

He was given a spectacular welcome at the Great Hall of the People. The two leaders shook hands on the red carpet before entering a room for their bilateral meeting.

The talks lasted around two hours, longer than expected. Trump called the talks “great”, but there are few details on whether any progress was made on key issues.

The world order has changed. Now comes the hard part

The world order has changed. Now comes the hard part

It is now commonplace to say that the international rules-based order is dead. Indeed, in his speech at Davos in January, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney not only pronounced its death but outlined a strategy for middle powers to adopt in response.

There are two elements of the rules-based order that have been challenged by recent events. The first is that there can be no changes to borders through the forcible annexation of territory or unilateral secession. This is one of the main pieces of the international order that appears to have fallen. The first serious brick in the wall was removed in 2014, with general acquiescence to Russia’s takeover of Crimea and eastern Donbass. It was also challenged more recently by the United States’ stated desire to purchase Greenland, as if it was a piece of real estate, and against the wishes of both Greenlanders and Denmark.


Carney does not “matter” in the old or new world order.

Europe’s sleeping giant rearms

Europe’s sleeping giant rearms

The smell of oil and scorched metal lingers in the workshop where the world’s most widely used submachine gun is made.

As workers armed with blowtorches pore over aiming sights and cocking tubes, row upon row of robotic arms are forging and drilling gun barrels on the factory floor.

This is the secretive manufacturing hub of Heckler & Koch, the German firm perhaps best known in Britain for supplying MP5 submachine guns to UK special forces.

Slap-re bleu!
