OLDCORN: Temporary means temporary — why Doug Ford’s ‘snap his fingers’ immigration comments miss the point

Progressive Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a bad habit of saying what “sounds kind” in the moment, while leaving taxpayers to deal with the real cost later.

His latest comments on temporary foreign workers are a perfect example.

At a press conference in Brampton, Ford said he wished he could “snap his fingers” and let temporary workers stay in Ontario.

The nuisance Brampton protesters pressured Doug Ford about extending their work permits.

His response? "These hard-working people are here to contribute to the community and have been trained in certain areas and I can tell you that your employers want you to stay."

The Rothschild Dynasty Survived Wars and Crises. Will the Epstein Files Tear It Apart?

On a sunny Friday in March, Ariane de Rothschild assembled staff from her bank in a glass-roofed park pavilion in central Paris. The chief executive told the dozens of private bankers and fund managers that business at the Swiss bank was strong.

As she spoke, French police arrived at the bank’s townhouse office a short walk away. They had orders to search the property as part of an investigation into a diplomat who used to work at the bank and was an associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein. After the event, the CEO went to meet them.

The raid came after the Justice Department’s release of millions of Epstein files had put a harsh spotlight on the sex offender’s elite network of associates—influential people like Ariane, a billionaire baroness through her marriage into the Rothschild dynasty. The DOJ files showed she visited Epstein’s island, sought his advice about complex family relationships and had her bank pay him a $25 million fee for consulting.

Jamie Sarkonak: Non-citizens in Canadian Forces struggling to ‘treat women as their peers’

Canada’s experiment in recruiting non-citizens to the military while lowering entrance standards has been wrought with problems, if a January internal report is anything to go by.

Recruits have been failing at greater rates since changes to recruitment practices were made in late 2024, according to the document, which was obtained by the Post last weekend. Instructors are also having to deal with cultural clashes, illiteracy problems, and a lack of respect for female officers, among other problems.

Murray Brewster and CBC continue to ignore the internal conflicts in Canadian Armed Forces training platoons — including ethnic infighting, cultural clashes, lack of respect for female members, and major training breakdowns

The Truth about Immigration from the Global South

For decades, discussions surrounding mass immigration into Western nations have largely been confined to two unproductive viewpoints. One perspective, which views culture as a superficial element and asserts the fundamental similarity of all human beings, suggests that immigrants primarily require sufficient time and opportunities to integrate. Conversely, the other attributes assimilation challenges to cultural values, patriarchal attitudes, or religious conservatism. Both approaches, however, exhibit an intellectual reluctance to delve deeper. What remains conspicuously absent from the prevailing discourse is an understanding rooted in developmental psychology and civilization theory. This framework offers significant explanatory power while avoiding genetic determinism and simplistic cultural explanations, yet it still presents genuinely uncomfortable truths.

Carney’s ‘sovereign wealth fund’ proves Poilievre was right about one thing all along

The grandpas underpinning the “Elbows Up” movement have washed their hands of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for the moment, but it’s their grandchildren who may ultimately decide his political future — and that of his party.

The Conservatives’ weak byelection performance was billed as a defeat, but that was the best possible outcome for Poilievre, at least personally. Dodging a second defeat in a general election denied Poilievre’s increasingly noisy Tory detractors a legitimate reason to bring the knives out despite the absence of a saviour waiting in the wings. Even if they had their golden child lined up, these non-believers must know future Liberal victories are all but guaranteed so long as the NDP wallows in the single digits.

The Trump Administration Could Be Preparing Iran’s Final Blow With This Move

President Trump could be preparing a final blow against the Iranian regime, with just 24 hours left before the War Powers Resolution’s 60-day clock expires Friday night.

The president told reporters Thursday that, despite the regime’s aggressive posturing, it is privately begging a deal behind closed doors.

If the regime instead chooses to continue fighting, the president has been briefed by Central Command on the potential use of a new type of weapon, as well as final military plans the U.S. could pursue to bring the conflict to a definite end.

LILLEY: Toronto desperately needs change at City Hall

Toronto is a city in decline, we see it everywhere we look every day of the year.

It’s pothole at the end of your street that isn’t being fixed, it’s the overflowing public garbage cans on every street corner, it’s a TTC that doesn’t work except as a homeless shelter. It’s the never-ending congestion, the rising costs despite diminished service, it’s the rising crime.

China Attacked Meta, So Cut All Tech Links

On April 27, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced it had blocked a foreign acquisition of Manus, the Chinese AI startup.

The one-line statement did not explain the NDRC’s reasoning. Nor did it mention that the acquirer was Meta Platforms, which had agreed to acquire Manus for more than $2 billion. Meta had wanted to offer Manus’s AI agent, a product the company offers, which can perform skilled work autonomously, across its various platforms.

Denmark to procure state-of-the-art Canadian assault rifle before Canada does

Despite the Department of Defence touting its new “fast-tracked” procurement strategy, a new Canadian-made assault rifle is already equipping Danish soldiers months before a Canadian will ever see one.

The C8 Modular Rail Rifle, first unveiled at an Ottawa military trade show in 2024, is lighter, more accurate and stealthier than the C7 assault rifle currently in Canadian Armed Forces service.

Margareta Dovgal: Unsurprising that central banker Carney thinks debt is ‘sovereign wealth

It’s neither sovereign, nor wealth, so it’s a mystery why Prime Minister Mark Carney has chosen this frame for his new $25 billion special project, the “Canada Strong Fund.”

One would typically expect a country announcing such a thing to have actually gone to the trouble of clearing debt and generating true sovereign wealth. The federal Liberals are conveniently skipping a few such steps.
