On verge of a majority, Carney offers reassurance and a measure of caution

At a moment of celebration and on the eve of potentially even greater triumph, Prime Minister Mark Carney offered a brief note of caution.

“Just over a year ago, in the midst of a blizzard … we started down the road to make the best country in the world even better,” he recalled, speaking perhaps both literally and metaphorically.

But, he warned Liberals gathered in Montreal for the party’s biennial convention, they “should be under no illusions” because “the path we’ve chosen is hard.”

Animal Farm, Without Orwell

Animal Farm, Without Orwell

Andy Serkis’s polished animated film changes just enough of George Orwell’s classic allegory to undermine the very lesson that made it endure.

he famous allegory for Stalinism that is Animal Farm is a classic for a reason. One of George Orwell’s most famous works, the story drives home a powerful but straightforward message about the dangers of revolution and how power corrupts.

The new animated film of the same title by Andy Serki doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo.

Conrad Black: American decline is a myth

Conrad Black: American decline is a myth

The Middle East is changing unpredictably from one week to the next. It is clear that U.S. President Donald Trump is determined to achieve his objectives of ending Iran’s nuclear military aspirations and its sponsorship of terrorist activity especially on the borders of Israel but also across the world, and he is determined that Iran not interrupt the flow of oil from the Middle East, even though the United States is not much affected by it. It is also clear that he will go to considerable lengths to achieve his objectives without inflicting terrible violence on the unoffending and long-suffering civil population of Iran.

Adam Zivo: Canada backs terrorist-state Iran reviewing UN programs to stop terro

Adam Zivo: Canada backs terrorist-state Iran reviewing UN programs to stop terro

If Canada truly cares about human rights, then why does it support Iran’s continued inclusion in prominent UN decisionmaking bodies? The Islamic Republic is a draconian regime that just murdered around 30,000 anti-government protesters this January, so shunning it within international fora is — to put things mildly — the bare minimum that Ottawa can do.

A great case study here would be the UN Committee for Program and Coordination (CPC), which functionally acts as the institution’s “board of directors” by providing broad strategic oversight (e.g. evaluating existing programs and setting long term priorities and budgets).

Trump’s Middle East Strategy: Half-Measures, Full Consequences

Trump’s Middle East Strategy: Half-Measures, Full Consequences

There is, in Washington, a recurring temptation: that the Middle East can be managed, contained, adjusted at the margins through economic pressure, surgical strikes, and the careful selection of supposedly “acceptable” figures drawn from within the very systems that generated the chaos. US President Donald Trump, whose instincts have often broken with this practice, now appears perilously close to reproducing it. The issue is not a lack of clarity— he understands the nature of the threat far better than most Western leaders — but the potential failure of an operation halted midway. Regimes are destabilized but left standing, Jihadist ecosystems are weakened but not dismantled. Recycled figures from the same ideological mold are repackaged as partners. This sadly makes for half-finished wars presented as advisability.

Viktor Orbán concedes defeat as opposition wins Hungarian election

Hungary’s opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, has won the general election, ending leader Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power, in a result that is likely to rattle the White House and reshape the country’s relationship with the EU.

Less than three hours after polls closed on Sunday, Orbán conceded defeat after what he described as a “painful” election result.

“I congratulated the victorious party,” Orbán told supporters in Budapest. “We are going to serve the Hungarian nation and our homeland from opposition as well.”

Rep. Swalwell facing Manhattan DA investigation for sexual assault

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office will investigate a sexual assault allegation against Rep. Eric Swalwell — the biggest hurdle yet in the Democratic lawmaker’s gubernatorial bid in California.

A former staffer said she was inebriated after drinking with Mr. Swalwell in 2024, when she woke up to him having sex with her in his New York City hotel room.

“I was pushing him off of me, saying no,” she told CNN. “He didn’t stop.”

Terry Newman: Tech exec pitches Liberal convention on $500k exit tax for educated Canadians

MONTREAL — Are you a Canadian considering improving your situation after graduating by moving abroad for better, higher paying opportunities? A guest speaker at the federal Liberal party convention on Friday just suggested that, in order to defeat Canada’s brain-drain problem, our best and brightest either stay put or cough up half a million dollars, what he suggests is the cost of their taxpayer-subsidized education, before they can pursue opportunities outside of Canada.

Anti-ICE Protesters Violently Attack Conservative Journalist Savanah Hernandez

You may be familiar with Savanah Hernandez. The best way to describe her, in my mind, is that she’s a guerrilla-stylereporter who’s mostly known for her work with Turning Point USA. She goes to where the action is and gives the conservative point of view.
