Jesse Kline: Carney’s $4B cultural subsidies will overproduce trash no one wants

Given the extent to which former prime minister Justin Trudeau denigrated our history and tried to snuff out any sense of national pride, it makes some sense that his successor would attempt to rekindle Canadian patriotism by putting money into Canada’s 160th anniversary celebrations and museums that tell our history. But last week’s budget earmarks an eye-watering $4 billion, largely to subsidize cultural industries, at a time when Canadians’ sense of self is more robust than ever before.

This is who now gets upto a $45,000 tax credit in a Carney Canada https://t.co/7oAKSisJKK

Trump threatens to double Mexico tariffs if migrant caravan reaches US

President Trump vowed Thursday that he would double all current US tariffs on Mexico if America’s southern neighbor allowed a caravan of more than 1,000 migrants to reach the border.

“Here we go again!” Trump began a lengthy post on Truth Social. “With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms – I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico. Many of the people in these Caravans are those that various countries don’t want – “Send them to America,” they say – But they will not be accepted!

Carney’s pledge to end homelessness ripped on social media

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s nearly $30-billion plan to end homelessness in less than a decade is being met with online pushback.

Last Friday, a day after unveiling the Liberal government’s 2026 budget, Carney flew to Winnipeg to announce his plan to tackle homelessness. The federal government inked a partnership with Manitoba that will see more than $1 billion in federal funding to help build more than 2,000 new supportive and transitional homes and a new Winnipeg Centre for Mental Health and Addictions.

The Spread of Cheaper Ballistic Missiles Rips Up Decades of Military Thinking

MANAMA, Bahrain—Technological advances making ballistic missiles cheaper and more precise have allowed Iran and the Houthis of Yemen to strike foes across the Middle East.

The development and spread of these weapons, once the preserve of nuclear superpowers, mean that military doctrines around the globe will need profound change—fast.

Along with the drone revolution unfolding in Ukraine, this transformation has strategic implications worldwide, including for the U.S. military posture in Europe and Asia as key military and infrastructure assets become increasingly vulnerable.

Canadians and Americans are frustrated by the cost of living. The political fallout is very different

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadians and Americans are frustrated with the high cost of groceries, electricity, and gas, but political fallout from that anxiety looks very different on either side of the border.

Nearly two-thirds of Canadians surveyed recently by Abacus Data — 63 per cent — said the rising cost of living was among the top three issues facing the country, making it the single highest-ranked concern. In the United States, 89 per cent — nearly 9 in 10 voters — said the cost of living had a crucial or major impact on their midterm vote, according to an NBC exit poll.

The standoff between the gunman and police occurred after he shot somebody inside a gym at Logan Circle in Washington, D.C, and injured at least four others during the rampage, according to D.C. Metro Police and sources.

During the barricade, while communicating with the suspect, police heard a gunshot in the apartment he was locked inside, D.C. MPD’s interim chief of police Jeffery W. Carroll said during a Thursday morning press conference.

BREAKING: The suspect believed to be behind this morning’s deadly shooting in Washington, D.C., has shot himself after spending more than an hour talking with police negotiators.

Officials spent more than an hour talking with the suspect while he barricaded himself inside an apartment building.

“Just moments ago, while communicating with that individual, officers heard a gunshot. As a response to that, officers forced entry into the apartment.”

“When they did that, they located the suspect suffering from a gunshot wound.”

GOLDSTEIN: Under Carney, our ‘biggest security threat’ is now our ‘strategic’ partner

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will privately raise Canada’s concerns about China’s interference in our democracy during his next meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but Canadians have every right to be skeptical about what he will say.

Carney is working for Beijing.

Hey Carney, WE ALL HEARD what you said about the United States being a bigger threat than China.

We heard it.

And I will make sure nobody forgets.

You have caused Canada to become a national security threat to the Unites States of America. https://t.co/4CgIFTafpE

A Quebec town was once preparing for a big EV battery boost. Will it still come?

BECANCOUR, QUE.- Much of the heavy machinery at the Nemaska Lithium plant site in Quebec, is at a standstill after majority owner Rio Tinto issued dozens of layoff notices. Workers were not the only thing effected, construction on an EV battery chain that was nearly 80 per cent complete is now forced to pause.

This marks the latest sign for the town of Bécancour, located in a region known as “Battery Valley,” that plans for the area to become a hub of an EV manufacturing boom may not come to fruition.

That Carney! He can do anything!

Carney And Joly Lied: They had been aware of Stellantis-Roshel talks for months, source says

The federal government had been made aware for months about the possibility that Stellantis would sell its Brampton, Ont., assembly plant to a light armoured vehicle manufacturer, a source has told CBC News.

The automaker announced on Monday that it plans to sell the plant to Roshel Inc., a move Prime Minister Mark Carney characterized as a “betrayal of the workers as it is a betrayal of the obligations to Canada.”

Carney is like some sort of Superman!

🇺🇸🇨🇦 CANADA’S INDUSTRIAL COLLAPSE under @MarkJCarney

— Updated with new receipts 🧾

📍 Honda Alliston, ON → $15B EV/battery plan INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED; now $867M retool (govt-backed) for hybrids/gas only, keeping ~4,000 existing jobs
📍 Stellantis Brampton, ON → SOLD to defence firm Roshel (undisclosed price, closes end-2026). Jeep Compass already moved to Illinois; >3,000 auto jobs gone. Unifor calls it betrayal. Ottawa took hundreds of millions in support tied to keeping production here — clawbacks still empty theatre.
📍 Stellantis Windsor battery → stake sold for ~$100; NextStar continues under LG
📍 Stellantis Windsor Assembly → repeated idles
📍 GM CAMI Ingersoll, ON → CLOSED (BrightDrop ended)
📍 Ford Oakville, ON → EV plan dropped; retooled for Super Duty
📍 Northvolt Quebec → BANKRUPT
📍 Umicore Loyalist, ON → SUSPENDED
📍 Stelco Hamilton/Nanticoke, ON → up to ~500 layoffs proceeding despite Investment Canada Act commitments and Joly’s ultimatums/legal threats
📍 Algoma Sault Ste. Marie, ON → integrated steelmaking ending, >1,000 layoffs
📍 ArcelorMittal Hamilton, ON → wire mill closed
📍 PowerCo St. Thomas, ON → delayed to 2029

Pierre Poilievre is now demanding Carney fire Industry Minister Mélanie Joly over the recent Stellantis and Stelco failures.

Ottawa’s response remains the same: press releases, photo ops, threats, then more layoffs and plant sales.

This is managed decline with a price tag.

Group of Veterans Launching Class Action Lawsuit Alleging Improper Euthanasia Offers by Veterans Affairs

A group of veterans is preparing a class-action lawsuit against the federal government alleging that Veterans Affairs Canada inappropriately offered or directed them toward medical assistance in dying (MAID).

Lawyer Catherine Christensen is spearheading the proposed class action amid growing reports from veterans who say Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) personnel suggested MAID in calls or written communications while they were seeking support or treatment for unrelated issues including PTSD and traumatic brain injuries.
