Let them eat nothing while Prime Minister Mark Carney and his cabinet dine out on the finest the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel serves.
All paid for by sound to be wounded Canadian taxpayers.

Anthropic researcher abruptly quits, warning AI ‘could kill us all’ — as current team leader agrees
A researcher for one of the largest and most valuable artificial intelligence companies has publicly quit — while raising the alarm that the technology “could kill us all by the end of the decade.”
Jacob Coxon, who has performed pre-training research at Anthropic and OpenAI for the last three years, posted on X that “neither company is acting responsibly.”
“They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,” he wrote late Tuesday, with others from the company backing his message.
OMISSION: Networks SILENT on Canada-China Military Talks
The Elitist Media evening news continue their mission on trade, acting as spokespeople for the Canadian prime minister instead of reporting the full scope of US-Canada relations that led to the breakdown at the negotiating table. Over the weekend and through today, an alarming omission emerges.
25 Years After 9/11, Muslims Hit Hardest
Twenty-five years after the terrorist attacks, I remember 9/11 as if it were yesterday. Although I can’t remember dates to save my life, I can name things I did just before or just after that day because 9/11 is an anchor that is seared into my mind.
New poll has Olivia Chow with a double-digit lead in Toronto mayoral race
A new poll from analysts at Liaison Strategies has incumbent Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow with a double-digit lead over her main opponent Brad Bradford in the city’s upcoming mayoral election.
The poll, which was released Wednesday morning, finds Olivia Chow leading the race with 50 per cent of support among decided and leaning voters compared to Brad Bradford with 39 per cent, and Chris Alexander in a distant third place with 10 per cent.
Analysts say Chow also holds a 51 per cent approval rating when it comes to her performance as mayor, while 45 per cent disapprove.
Kinsella is advising the Bradford campaign. That would explain the dumpster fire Bradford’s run for Mayor has become.
I won’t be voting for him for a number of reasons. He’s just another identity politics con.
Germany’s AfD Is Not ‘Far Right’
This week I predicted that Germany’s Alternative for Germany would likely win Sunday’s state election in Saxony-Anhalt, a development I called “earth-shattering.”
The AfD has now moved from a protest party on the margins to one capable of winning elections outright.
It is important to note that the party is not “far right” — as much of the European and international press labels it.
The true evil is found among the proponents of open borders.
James Moore: Time is on Canada’s side in this lose-lose tariff war with Trump
The tariff war is on. The Trump administration hit us unjustifiably with tariffs, and, as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on the weekend, “All Canadians stand united in denouncing the president’s unacceptable tweets, trolling and tariffs…”
Trump’s tariffs, and our response, are going to hurt a lot of Canadians and Americans. The fight is mutually detrimental and will leave lasting scars of distrust between many Canadians and many Americans, which will take years to heal – if they ever do.
Carney kiboshed the negotiations because he wanted Chinese steel in Canadian manufactured trucks. Think about that.
Al Qaeda Had a Nuclear Follow Up to the 9/11 Attack
This week we observe the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our country by a terrorist organization that few people, outside the FBI and CIA, knew of at that time.
Now we’re learning what other plans Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ayman al-Zawahiri and their Al Qaeda adherents had in mind for the even bigger follow up attack.
A nuclear option.
There are only 2 ways to win this trade war, and both of them suck. Mark Carney needs to hurry up and pick one
Canada should take the hint.
On the eve of his decision this summer not to permanently extend CUSMA by another decade, U.S. President Donald Trump repeated a point he had made back in January 2025: “We don’t need their oil and gas.”
As 100 per cent of America’s natural-gas imports come from Canada (worth about $12 billion per year, all figures USD), along with 63 per cent ($125 billion per year) of its crude oil imports, our CUSMA negotiating team likely dismissed Trump’s comments as negotiating bluster.
Carney is not on Canada’s side.
Ilhan Omar cleared of wrongdoing after overstating assets by millions
A nonpartisan entity charged with reviewing misconduct allegations has cleared Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) of wrongdoing in connection with documents she submitted to Congress that dramatically overstated her wealth.
The Office of Congressional Conduct, which reviews allegations concerning House members and staff, made the determination after opening an investigation into Omar earlier this year. The findings, marked confidential, were viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
CHARLEBOIS: Canada picked a trade fight it cannot afford
The Canada–U.S. trade dispute has crossed another threshold. What began with tariffs moved to counter-tariffs and has now reached outright import bans on both sides of the border. The economic pain is no longer theoretical.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned Canadians that reducing our dependence on the United States will come at a cost. At least he was honest. But Canadians deserve to know how much pain, who will bear it and what economic outcome their sacrifice is expected to purchase.
‘One day the Taliban will need women to be educated’: three sisters on being forced back to Afghanistan
It was a warm summer afternoon on 15 August 2021 when the Taliban entered Kabul and changed the lives of millions. Shallah*, then 16, watched the news at home on the Afghan TV channel Tolo news. She ran crying to the garden, to tell her mother that Afghanistan had fallen.
Her younger sister, Fatimah*, then 11, was at her cousin’s house, where her aunt told her the news. At the time, she says, she did not understand what a takeover meant, or who the Taliban were. Her elder sister, Maahi*, then 22, was well aware of the consequences and remembers her hands shaking at work as she read the news on her phone, on Facebook pages of Afghan news.
Forced back to Afghanistan by Iran and Pakistan.
Canada to blame for Washington’s escalation of trade war, says Trump trade czar
WASHINGTON — U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says Canada is to blame for Washington’s decision to escalate the trade war with its northern neighbour.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed new executive orders, ramping up retaliation after Canada imposed its latest set of counter duties on the United States.
The five new orders, which will take effect later this month, will completely bar imports of certain Canadian goods, including motorcycles, some dairy products and alcoholic beverages.
Today, Ambassador Greer issued a statement after President Trump exercised his authority under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to ban certain Canadian products from entering the U.S. market and modify the scope of the July 20 actions to offset the burden or disadvantage on…

I believe Greer over Carney hands down.
Germany’s Merz attacks AfD in stormy debate after far-right election win
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has clashed with AfD leader Alice Weidel in parliament, calling her party a “destructive force” with a migration policy that amounts to “ethnic cleansing” for skilled workers.
Merz was addressing the Bundestag in the aftermath of the anti-immigration party’s sweeping victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt where it won almost 44% of the vote, while the chancellor’s conservatives saw their vote halved.
Weidel told MPs that voters had shown that Merz’s coalition with the centre left was a total failure and his time was up.
GlobalEye gamble: Ottawa chose surveillance plane without knowing it met military needs
Ottawa had no guarantees that Saab’s GlobalEye surveillance plane could meet military requirements when it began negotiations to acquire six of the Swedish manufacturer’s early warning and control aircraft last spring, CBC News has learned.
Sources added that the most recent assessment of the GlobalEye came to the conclusion that the aircraft meets only a portion of the military’s requirements and that modifications will be needed to achieve operational readiness.
