Smith praises Trump’s pipeline permits boosting Canada–US oil exports
CALGARY — Premier Danielle Smith has applauded US President Donald Trump’s recent decision to issue several pipeline permits to facilitate cross-border transport of crude oil and petroleum products between the US and Canada, as well as a permit to construct a new pipeline.
Yesterday, the White House approved the advancement of multiple pipeline projects carrying Alberta oil to the United States.
Expanding pipeline capacity to the U.S. is something I’ve been advocating from this U.S. Administration since their last election. It has paid off!

Study: ‘Third of Young Women in Netherlands Feel Unsafe in Public’
A large proportion of women in the Netherlands report feeling unsafe in public spaces, with concerns particularly high among younger age groups, according to new research.
The study, from the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, commissioned by the national police and based on a survey of 3,568 Dutch adults, found that one in four women overall feels regularly unsafe in public. Among women under 35, this rises to more than one in three, while more than four in five women aged 18 to 34 report feeling unsafe on the streets.
Meanwhile in France …

Elon Musk claims ‘Canada is cooked.’ This is the actual problem with our country
I generally pay less attention to Elon Musk’s pronouncements than to my cat coughing up a hairball. At least I know the hairball is genuine and not regurgitated in a bid for attention. But Musk’s recent remarks, amplified by his culture-war fanboys, unintentionally provided an opportunity to focus on something important and overlooked.
“Canada is cooked,” Musk commented on a video posted on X, the platform where he likes to spew his racist and sexist nonsense. Was this comment in reference to some genuinely damaging event that had harmed Canadians? No, Musk was referring to NDP MP Leah Gazan’s description of people harmed by anti-Indigenous violence at a press conference in Ottawa. Gazan referred to “the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” while drawing attention to shortfalls in government funding to Indigenous women’s groups.
What a stupid twit.
Liberals spend $1.2M to give cameras to homeless in arts project despite unclear results
Federal housing officials approved nearly $1.2 million in taxpayer funding for a program that handed out cameras to homeless individuals as part of an arts-based exhibition, despite internal records showing the initiative struggled to meet its goals and lacked clear data on its target population.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Access to Information documents show the funding, totalling $1,199,921, was allocated through a Veteran Homelessness Program overseen by Housing Minister Gregor Robertson’s department.
I bet that bought a lot of crack.
Pattern Recognition and Racism
The same civilization that produced the scientific method, actuarial science, and data-driven medicine now treats the act of noticing statistical trends as a moral failing — provided those trends involve race. Welcome to the cognitive dissonance Olympics, where your lying eyes are always the problem, and the scoreboard is considered hate speech.
Why the massive Liberal poll leads might be an illusion
As the Liberals enjoy some of the most explosive polling leads in Canadian history, a leading pollster is suggesting that it’s mostly a product of mathematical error.
This week, Abacus Data CEO David Coletto suggested that many of his peers are chronically undercounting Conservative voters, presenting a “distorted version” of the electorate to the public.
Filmmaker warns against dangers of plummeting global birth rate in new documentary
A filmmaker and data analyst warned that the falling birth rate crisis across the globe couldn’t be “any worse.”
Stephen Shaw, who interviewed people around the world to investigate plummeting birthrates for his documentary Birthgap, recently told podcaster Brendan O’Neill that population collapse is a uniquely dangerous problem. This is because unlike the dangers of, say, nuclear proliferation and environmental issues, there are no known solutions to declining birth rates, according to Shaw.
Sex offender facing deportation tells cops Canadian laws ‘don’t apply to me’
Canadian laws didn’t apply to Gilbert Nuamah.
That’s what the convicted sex offender facing deportation allegedly told cops who had just arrested him for sexually assaulting an Indigenous woman.
State Lawmakers Nationwide Erect Firewalls Against Sharia Law
A quiet surge is reshaping American courts in states such as Georgia and Missouri to prevent the encroach of Sharia law.
State legislators are advancing “American Laws for American Courts” (ALAC) and related measures. These laws attempt to keep the U.S. and state constitutions as the sole legal authorities. The message to Americans is clear: no foreign codes and no parallel tribunals. This effort addresses real risks in family law, contracts, child custody, arbitration, and other legal conflicts.
Jesse Kline: Carney has sowed division, not created a ‘unity government’
Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled off of a political coup when his party won three byelections on Monday after enticing five members of the opposition parties to cross the floor, thus turning a minority into a majority government for the first time in Canadian history. But to suggest, as many Liberals are, that he has formed some sort of “unity government” is patently ridiculous.
Sharon Osbourne confirms plans to attend far-Right activist Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march
Sharon Osbourne has said she will be attending an anti-immigration march organised by far-Right commentator Tommy Robinson.
Next month’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march follows a similar rally in September at Trafalgar Square, which drew over 100,000 participants.
Robinson has been drumming up support for the march in social media posts and earlier this week shared an Instagram video on the Gauci Reports account galvanising followers to mark May 16 as the date ‘Britain rises and reunites’.
Yaniv claims MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ identity in latest BC Human Rights complaint
VANCOUVER — Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv, who was born Jonathan Yaniv and has also used the name Jessica Simpson, has filed at least one recent human rights complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal that explicitly claims membership in the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community while alleging discrimination through “existential denialism” and discriminatory publication.
“Stop AfD at Any Cost”: Rule of Law Takes a Back Seat in Germany
Germany’s declining establishment parties are again undermining the very institutions they pretend to defend in order to limit the capabilities of the rising Alternative for Germany (AfD).
In Rhineland-Palatinate, in the southwest of the country, where the populist party recently secured a record election result, the CDU/CSU, SPD and Greens are teaming up to alter the constitution. They want to change the rules for parliamentary inquiry committees so as to block the AfD from convening investigative committees of their own.
Does Mark Carney believe in democracy?
Mark Carney is swaggering about Canada with his new majority government, acting as if he’d just received a landslide mandate from the electorate. The truth is he acquired his precious majority not by climbing up on his soapbox and convincing voters, but by whispering sweet nothings to five MPs from other parties, upon which they mysteriously lost their political principles and crossed the floor. Does Carney believe in democracy? It’s hard to be sure.
Yes, his party did just win three special elections. But only one of those counted (the other two were held by Liberals already and in safe Liberal ridings, so made no difference to the number of seats the party held). Without the floor-crossings, Carney would be stuck with the minority he won last April.
