Lorne Gunter: Expect polls to determine when Liberals force early election
If you want to know whether Canada is headed for a spring election (or a fall election, or any other time election) there is just one number to look at: seat projections.
The Liberal Party of Canada has not become the most successful political organization in the Western world for the last century because it cares about policy, economics, the environment, national defence or federal debt.
GOLDSTEIN: Just admit it, Canada, the EV market has crashed
For heaven’s sake, can we just admit the painfully obvious point that Canada’s federal and provincial governments committed a massive strategic blunder when they went whole hog into subsidizing the production and sale of EV vehicles and batteries?
After Epstein, How Can ‘Authorities’ Maintain Legitimacy?
Why should liars, frauds, pedophiles, and evil perverts rule over us?
Governments habitually lie. They lie so often that it is peculiar for governments to claim “authority” on anything other than falsehood. Before the Gutenberg press and general literacy, “authorities” announced self-serving lies in the public square. With the arrival of newsprint, “authorities” disseminated State propaganda as daily news. Radio and television revolutionized the mass manipulation of minds. The adoption of the personal computer, the rise of the Internet, the commercialization of pocket computers posing as handheld phones, and the sticky web of an ever-growing social media complex have made it possible for government “authorities” to reach inside every human brain and squish it into compliance. AI-powered machines now manufacture and disseminate lies faster than human-powered governments ever could.
Mathematician Who Warned of Regime Infiltration of Canadian University Engineering Program Missing in Suspicious Disappearance
VANCOUVER – An outspoken Iranian dissident who publicly warned Canadian authorities in 2021 about alleged Iranian regime infiltration of engineering programs at Simon Fraser University has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, prompting an investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Refrain from Speculating
We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A funny thing happened Wednesday morning. Checking the Telegraph website, I noticed a curious headline: there was a “very serious incident” afoot at De Montfort University in Leicester. Wondering what this serious incident was, and immediately forming some suspicions, as one does in times like these, I clicked on the headline and was taken to a live news update feed. Here is what I learned…
How Canada lost the respect of the world
Most experts agree that Canadian foreign policy experienced a golden age a few generations ago. Today, it’s probably fair to say that its golden hue has turned to pewter.
Why did our country experience this fall from grace? The last two Liberal governments, in particular, are largely to blame.
Let’s go back a few steps.
The water wars are coming
It is no coincidence that the world’s first cities were built where water was abundant. From the Nile and the Yangtze to the Thames, reliable access to freshwater allowed settlements to grow into cities. Water not only mattered for drinking, but for hygiene, waste removal, agriculture and transport. Rivers were arteries of commerce as much as sources of life: where water flowed, cities prospered; where it failed, they declined. Anyone who saw the Nile, wrote Herodotus 2,500 years ago, needed only the most “basic powers of observation” to realise that Egypt was “the gift of the river”.
Today, we are already in the midst of a deep and deepening crisis of water availability. Though more than 70% of the world’s surface is covered by the stuff, almost all of it is seawater. In fact, on average, only around one in every 10,000 drops is accessible freshwater that humans can easily use. Demand for it has surged as global populations have grown, diets have changed and cities have expanded into arid regions from Riyadh to Mexico City.
Niall Ferguson: Trump Was Inevitable (and Necessary), Mark Carney Was an Accident
Niall Ferguson is a British Historian affiliated with Harvard University and the Hoover Institution at Stanford. He’s the author of a whole bunch of books about western civilization but also writes a column for the Free Press. He’s a fan of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and has been a recent supporter of the UK conservative party.
Today I came across this video of a discussion he had last December in Vancouver. This was part of a series called the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s Voices That Inspire. The snippet I saw starts came only about 7-8 minutes into the discussion. It was literally the second question and Ferguson complained that the interviewer was setting him up for failure by asking him to say something positive about Donald Trump in front of a Canadian audience.
Fears British woman, 71, who vanished while hiking in South Africa was killed for her body parts to be used in witchcraft
A British woman who vanished while hiking in South Africa may have been killed for her body parts to be used in witchcraft rituals, it is feared.
Lorna McSorley, 71, went missing in September after she and her partner of 30 years, 81-year-old Leon, left their hotel to go for a short walk from the Ghost Mountain Inn in the KwaZulu-Natal province to search for local wildlife.
On the walk, Leon found the heat and distance too difficult and left his partner carry on on her own.
Jamie Sarkonak: New Liberal ‘inclusion’ council heralds more division
On Wednesday, Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Marc Miller announced that he’ll be assembling a committee to come up with a “common narrative” to hold our rapidly diversifying nation together.
This new Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion is just the latest initiative that makes some kind of vague promise to unite Canadians and, in Miller’s words, “ensure that every person feels included.” If it feels like the 30th time the Liberals have done something like this, well, you’re probably not far off. Diversity is always our strength, but diversity also perpetually needs to be solved.
Europe No Longer Believes Russia Will Wait Until 2029
For years, officials in Brussels and across Europe operated on a shared assumption: that Russia would not be in a position to directly challenge NATO before 2029. That date became a strategic comfort zone—time to rearm, coordinate, and reassure domestic publics. That certainty is now eroding rapidly.
According to The Wall Street Journal, a growing number of European political and military leaders now believe Moscow could test NATO—and the European Union—much sooner than previously expected. Such a move would not necessarily take the form of a full-scale invasion, but a limited, rapid, and carefully calibrated incursion designed to exploit Europe’s hesitation and internal divisions.
Is Football Doomed?
You will probably watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. Maybe you’re a casual fan. Maybe you’re a football nut who wants to see how New England’s defense matches Seattle’s heavy formations. Maybe you just want to watch the commercials.
Whatever your motivation, you’ll have company. More than 191 million people tuned into the Super Bowl in 2025. Americans are projected to spend more than $20 billion on game-related food, drinks, gear, and more this year. Many households observe the Super Bowl more reverently than Easter.
The Washington Post cuts prove journalism dies in wokeness
Wednesday 4 February 2026 will live on as a day of infamy in the United States. For, lo, twas the day that the Washington Post – tagline ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ – laid off 300 democracy-savers, after it transpired that ‘saving democracy’ was not a profitable enterprise.
