As Mark Carney and his Liberal government celebrate officially achieving majority status in the House of Commons, the Conservatives are nursing the political equivalent of a hangover.
Carney’s Liberals have their majority of 174 seats in large part because four Conservative MPs defected from Pierre Poilievre’s party to Carney’s.

In trying to address his inability to strike a trade deal with the US, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s alternative to gain access to the European Union (EU) market is something I wanted to argue poses a threat to Canada’s sovereignty. That’s how I feel, particularly about Canada joining the EU as a member state.
But, while I found that Carney’s solution to perceived overreliance on the US does indeed contain a serious threat to Canada, it’s not from the EU.
I’m wondering if at this point, we can all agree that the Covid shot was a bioweapon? Check out this data, originally from VAERS, compiled and organized by a website known as openvaers.com…
The two teachers
Nadia Naqvi, the oldest and fiercest in a family of five children, was born in 1981 in Montreal. Her father, who emigrated from Pakistan in the 1970s, instilled in his children that he was the immigrant in the family.
You are just Canadian, he would tell them, and if anybody asks, you’re Canadian-Pakistani. Always put the Canadian in front, he’d say. But growing up in Montreal’s suburban West Island, Ms. Naqvi never felt fully Canadian. She was bullied more times than she could count, called a “Paki” and “smelly.”
As historian Faisal Devji has recently shown, the meaning of the term Islam began to change during the 19th century. In the colonial context of South Asia and the Middle East, the likes of ‘pan-Islamic’, anti-colonial activist Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1838-1897) began to turn it into something rather more modern, in opposition to European imperialism and the West more broadly.
It’s already political legend. In 2025, Justin Trudeau stepped down as prime minister just as Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives were cruising toward a massive majority government. Within weeks of Mark Carney taking the helm of the Liberals, the political landscape was transformed. By April, the Liberals had secured another mandate—a turnaround with virtually no precedent in Canada in terms of scale and timing, and one that few observers would have predicted at the start of the year. Yours truly included.

“More than half a dozen interviewees independently named one California congressman for pursuing female staffers.” CNN dropped that blind item into its story on sexual harassment in Congress in 2017 as part of its #MeToo coverage and then did nothing with it for 9 years.
Buckle up, buttercups, here is what I have learned about Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s presence at Coachella this weekend:
1) Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau went to Coachella this weekend.
2) This was the cutest development in their already-confirmed Instagram relationship, a life-giving affirmation of true love, let us rejoice and be glad in it, and
3) Alternatively, these people should go to hell.
In hindsight, it was inevitable: To maintain shock-value, these accusations always escalate. So, after a full decade of being “literally Hitler,” there was nowhere to go but… down.
WAY down.
You can’t go from “literally Hitler” to “literally Ivan the Terrible.” Too anticlimactic. And if you wanna out-evil Hitler, you need the guy with the pitchfork.
Premier Doug Ford says a majority federal government means Prime Minister Mark Carney “has a stronger hand to deal with President (Donald) Trump and the tariffs that we’re facing.”
Speaking to reporters at Queen’s Park, the Progressive Conservative premier said the three Liberal byelection victories on Monday would help Carney in the upcoming review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and in the ongoing trade war with the U.S.
Remember when you, a conservative-leaning, patriotic European, were ridiculed and laughed at for fearing that the game was being rigged, that the Left was coming after you, and that the days in which political institutions at least tried to simulate ideological neutrality were gone? Remember being portrayed by the press as a tin foil hat-wearing simpleton for fearing that Chat Control wasn’t actually—or, at least, not primarily—about destroying the horror of child sexual abuse, but, rather, about social, ideological, and therefore political control? Do you recall being painted as a silly conspiracy theorist for doubting that Marine Le Pen’s judicial prohibition from running for the presidency was really just the impartial courts doing their work? Well, the crumbling German government is tired of keeping up appearances: if it has its way, as in all likelihood it will, right-wing critics of the establishment will soon find it difficult to buy a house or any other form of real estate, for that matter. This will be done, they say, in the name of liberty and democracy.

If convicted, they will face up to THREE YEARS in prison.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre took aim at Carney’s newly formed majority Liberal government Tuesday and pushed for more relief over fuel prices, bringing forward an opposition motion calling for longer term relief at the pumps.
“We should eliminate the gas tax for the rest of the year, reducing cost by 25 cents a litre, 20 dollars on a tank of gas, 1,200 dollars for the whole year,” Poilievre said.
