Talk about a disturbance in the force… That stupid-looking new Star Wars movie hits theaters next month and failed to rank on a list of the ten most anticipated summer movies.
Pretty much every movie scheduled for a summer release beat Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, including the new Insidious and Scary Movie sequels.
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.
Patrick Pichette — the guy who proposed this $500k “exit fee” — left Canada years ago, became Google’s CFO, made over $100 million, was on Twitter’s board until Elon fired him when he took it over, and now lives in luxury in London, England.
He used Canada’s subsidized education… https://t.co/1uSmSFLiBP

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.
I'm waking up with a headache and stiff neck this morning due to how violently anti-ICE activist, Chris Ostroushko, shoved me down yesterday.
A second angle shows that he had to be held back by 5 men as he continued to charge at me.
I didn't speak a word to him all day yet he… pic.twitter.com/LjDx1GMLnF

Just over half of Canadians want the federal Liberals to win enough seats in Monday’s byelections to give Prime Minister Mark Carney a majority government, new polling suggests.
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found that 53 per cent of Canadians want the Liberals to form a majority, while 47 per cent are opposed to the idea.
U.S. intelligence reportedly indicates China is looking to send shipments of weapons to Iran amid the Middle Eastern country’s conflict with the United States.
Beijing is delivering new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks and is working to route the shipments through third countries to mask their true origin, according to CNN. If true, the development would constitute a provocative statement by Beijing just weeks ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and would mark a significant escalation of support to Iran.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the precipice of a majority government, a milestone the Liberals haven’t reached in years.
There are three federal by-elections taking place on Monday, and the Liberals only need to win one to reach the 172-seat threshold required to control the majority of seats in this 45th Parliament.
So, how did Carney get here? What are the ridings that are up for grabs? And what does the party plan to do with more power? The difference a year makes
The U.S. has destroyed most of Iran’s navy. But not the one Tehran uses to control the Strait of Hormuz.
The regular navy operated Iran’s big battleships largely for prestige and occasional long-range deployments. The paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, on the other hand, has its own extensive fleet of more nimble boats designed to control the crucial waterway with missiles, mines and harassment of commercial ships—and they are much harder to reach.
The energy fallout of the U.S. and Israel-Iran war is a reminder that life is often unfair.
The United States, which started the war with a surprise attack on Iran in the middle of negotiations, could escape largely unscathed in terms of its energy supply — even as its international reputation takes a hit and U.S. inflation spikes as a result of oil prices.
But U.S. allies in Asia and Europe, who were neither consulted nor warned about the U.S.-Israeli attack, are facing sustained shortages.
Thousands of Asian, African and Middle Eastern migrants have come to Britain under the Government’s Ukrainian free visa scheme, The Telegraph can reveal.
Nearly 3,500 visas have been granted to migrants from 112 countries – including Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iraq, Iran, India and the Palestinian territories – under the two schemes offering sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
A Quebec judge has condemned what he considers to be a two-tier justice system in Montreal after alleging that prosecutors often recommend more lenient sentences for criminals at risk of being deported.
The Quebec Crown prosecution office, however, is denying the judge’s accusations, saying no directive to such effect has been issued.
In a decision handed down on Wednesday, Quebec Court Justice Antoine Piché slammed prosecutors in Montreal for “regularly” suggesting that offenders receive less severe sentences, including an acquittal in some cases, so as not to jeopardize their immigration status.
Lawyers are merde. You’re right they do hate us.
At first glance they look like they could be scenes out of a Lego movie, although more vivid and fast-paced.
But these viral AI videos inspired by the instantly recognisable Lego aesthetic feature dying children, fighter jets and US President Donald Trump – and are in fact pro-Iran propaganda.
For our new BBC podcast, Top Comment, we spoke to a representative of Explosive Media, one of the key accounts generating these clips. He wanted us to refer to him as Mr Explosive.
Iran’s new Lego video is characterically impressive propaganda. Epstein, oil politics, antisemitic tropes – all delivered through an iconic Western brand.
As ever, the goal is to exploit Western cultural divisions. As ever, it succeeds. pic.twitter.com/VVRYkjwvCY

“Experts”
Leftists may claim that they work for the common good, but what really drives them is often nothing less than religious fanaticism.
Case in point: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his new anti-Christian bill (C-9). Not content with the current hate speech laws in force in Canada, Carney is pushing stricter restrictions on speech with a new law that would prohibit using religious texts as a defense of speech the left deems offensive. According to a report in The Telegraph, “Bill C-9, the Act is a wide-ranging piece of legislation aimed at targeting what Carney’s government claims is ‘rising anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia and transphobia.’”
Hungarians are heading to the ballot boxes to vote in a landmarkparliamentary election that could oust Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power and potentially reshape the central European country’s relations with the EU, Moscow and Washington.
During the campaign, Orbán – the EU’s longest-serving leader – has trailed in the polls as he faces an unprecedented challenge from Péter Magyar, a former elite member of Orbán’s Fidesz party.

As many as eight more opposition MPs are being courted to cross the floor, three Liberal sources told The Globe and Mail.
Conservative and NDP MPs are in the mix, the sources said, though it remains unclear if any will make the jump – or when.
The sources are all veteran Liberal organizers, and two are directly involved in reaching out to potential recruits.
Imagine the damage Carney will do with a majority.
From the convention …
PM Mark Carney says support for the Liberal Party is growing, noting that Canadians who previously voted for other parties “now trust us with the future.”
He also points to MPs crossing the floor, arguing it shows “Canadians coming together to build a strong Canada.” pic.twitter.com/VxAjMnHaVM
