Carney is ‘fast-tracking corporate Canada’s wish list’ in trade war: NDP leader

Carney is ‘fast-tracking corporate Canada’s wish list’ in trade war: NDP leader

NDP Leader Avi Lewis opened three days of meetings with his parliamentary caucus accusing the Carney government of forgetting ordinary Canadians.

“The prime minister, who still enjoys considerable support, at the negotiating table has nonetheless pursued a very specific policy, which is that if you’re a powerful corporation in Canada, you go to the front of line.”

Lewis and his five NDP MPs met Tuesday in Toronto with union leaders, affordable housing advocates and leaders from the city’s food banks.

I agree with Avi. Shoot me!

The King has slapped down Harry and Meghan… but this is the biggest revelation from his public letter

The King has slapped down Harry and Meghan… but this is the biggest revelation from his public letter

‘Surprised?’ What do the Duke and Duchess of Sussex mean, exactly, by ‘surprised’?

Only two people with the self-awareness of a cabbage could fail to see that they left the King with very little choice but to set out the terms and conditions of their return in uncompromisingly clear language.

If you ask me, they’ve got off lightly. The King’s letter, sent to Prince Harry’s team, government departments, military officials and Lord Lieutenants in which (among other things) he states in no uncertain terms that they are simply ‘private citizens with commercial and charitable interests’ and that their HRH titles are ‘in abeyance’, is really no more than a judicious and long-overdue slap on the wrist.

Poilievre heads to U.S. with PMO’s blessing as Trump ramps up retaliation against Canada.

Canada’s finance minister says Canada has a “golden opportunity in front of us” as the trade war with the United States continues to escalate.

François-Philippe Champagne told reporters Wednesday that while the federal government did not want to engage in a back-and-forth with their U.S. counterparts, they will “do what’s right for Canada.”

Meanwhile, a source close to the trade negotiations told CTV News that Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc was given a heads-up Tuesday by U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer before U.S. President Donald Trump’s flurry of executive orders that banned and imposed new tariffs on certain Canadian products.

MORGAN: The CPC should have stayed out of Alberta’s referendum

MORGAN: The CPC should have stayed out of Alberta’s referendum

Alberta’s political Achilles heel federally is its electoral predictability. While provincially the state of affairs has been volatile, shifting from Progressive Conservatives to NDP to UCP in the span of a decade, the province has always given a strong majority of its seats to the conservative party of the day federally.

This tendency has led federal parties to take Alberta for granted. The Liberals don’t pay much attention to Alberta because the likelihood of gaining seats there is slim. Conservative parties don’t pay much attention to Alberta because the likelihood of losing seats there is slim.

Elizabeth Holmes And Lindsay Clancy Defenders Are Cut From The Same Sociopathic Cloth

Elizabeth Holmes And Lindsay Clancy Defenders Are Cut From The Same Sociopathic Cloth

here’s a little clip from an upcoming documentary making the rounds on social media. It’s from a film called You Can See Everything, which chronicles the final days before convicted felon Elizabeth Holmes is sent to prison.

If you don’t remember who Elizabeth Holmes is, she’s the erstwhile CEO of Theranos —a medical technology company that saw its value rise astronomically during the early 2010s based on claims that it possessed potentially revolutionary medical technology, making Holmes a fortune and winning the accolades of the corporate media for her trailblazing status as the youngest self-made female billionaire.

Why ban balaclavas, but not burqas?

Why ban balaclavas, but not burqas?

One of the more visible signs of Britain’s creeping lawlessness is the proliferation of men in balaclavas. In Nottingham, the authorities have finally decided that enough is enough and are launching a crackdown on ‘face coverings’. As of next week, police will have the power to compel people to uncover their faces. Failure to comply can result in an on-the-spot fine of £70 or even prosecution.

Matthew Lau: Who protects the lowly worker? Not unions, not government

Matthew Lau: Who protects the lowly worker? Not unions, not government

Labour Day is invariably accompanied by pronouncements from progressives about how unions and government benefit workers and protect them from exploitation. However, the reality is the opposite. Even if they sometimes benefit certain privileged workers in the short run, the main effect of unions and government expansion is to harm workers overall, with the most disadvantaged members of the labour force suffering the worst consequences.

Lack of Muslim assimilation in America: Perception or reality?

Lack of Muslim assimilation in America: Perception or reality?

The questions about the assimilation of Muslim communities in this country are becoming more, not less, controversial over time. Some people insist that Muslims are blending much better into our communities than in the past; other people feel certain that there will always be a division between our mainstream culture and the many cultures of Islam.

Who is to be believed, and how critical are the conclusions we draw?
