OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is practising “counterfeit Conservatism.”
Poilievre says while Carney likes to copy his ideas — ending the consumer carbon price, for example — his government won’t do what it says it will.
Carney is widely seen to be moving the Liberals to the political centre after years of more centre-left policies under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
WASHINGTON — The FBI arrested five members of a far-left, pro-Palestinian extremist group on Friday in connection with an alleged plot to carry out coordinated bombings in and around Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.
The “credible, imminent terrorist threat” to five unidentified companies’ logistics centers in Los Angeles came from radical members of an offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), FBI Director Kash Patel and other law enforcement officials revealed Monday.
The people arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting a New Year’s attack are reportedly tied to the “Turtle Island Liberation Front.”
This member of the TILF thinks North American Indians knew the shape of the continent and that’s why they called it Turtle Island: https://t.co/5t9RPD2rSQ pic.twitter.com/BSbMnQ2Ybc

The horror of Bondi Beach could just as easily happen in Canada — because the conditions are the same: we have allowed antisemitism to grow unchecked and infect our society.
Jews in Canada were already living in a climate of fear, now Hanukkah celebrations will be overshadowed by terror.
Any place there are Muslims there will exist the possibility of mass murder, it’s hard wired into their cult beliefs.
Every government since 911 has aided and abetted their settlement in Canada.

It was my first personal experience with an Artificial Intelligence “hallucination” — the tendency of AI to just make things up.
When a Toronto homicide detective probing the unsolved murders of Toronto billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman revealed he had turned to AI for help, I figured, heck, I should try too.
I uploaded almost 4,000 pages of partially unsealed police documents, containing witness statements and police theories. On some pages, you can read everything police wrote to obtain various search warrants in the now eight-year-old case. Some pages are partially or completely blacked out. The Toronto Star’s court challenges over the past eight years have unsealed roughly 60 per cent of these documents.
Try explaining this to someone from the 1800s. They would have you sent to the insane asylum. pic.twitter.com/NRAnXlIbh0

One might expect researchers to have settled the question long ago of whether poverty causes crime. On the surface, the answer seems obvious. A correlation certainly exists: anyone working in the criminal-justice system—or simply walking through a low-income neighborhood—could observe that the poor are more prone to crime. But is the relationship causal? As the old Gershwin tune reminds us, it ain’t necessarily so.
We were poor by the day’s standards lower working class, K was raised by her single Mum. None of us imprisoned. So far.
If the just-published “National Security Strategy of the United States of America” was intended to infuriate the old line globalist elites in Europe and the United States, then it has succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of its authors. Take, for example, the essay this morning by Jacob Heilbrunn over at that “other” Spectator. Heilbrunn manages the not inconsiderable feat of dismissing the document as “incomprehensible” and “negligible,” while at the same time suggesting that it’s important enough to cause our key allies consternation and dismay.
Only four countries have seen a worse decline — Jordan, Venezuela, Lebanon and Afghanistan.
VANCOUVER — As a teen growing up in Toronto, Bhavik Sharma imagined what life would look like at 25.
He and his high school friends would be starting families. They’d be on six-figure salaries and living comfortably.
Now 27, he’s back living with his parents in Kitchener, Ont., driven out of Toronto by high rent and other costs.
“I think back then, in that generation, it was definitely a lot easier,” Sharma said of the path to adulthood for his parents, who moved to Canada from India about 30 years ago.
They’d probably be happier if you interviewed Canadians and not foreigners for this article.
Funny how mass immigration isn’t mentioned as if a generation’s problems appeared from nowhere.
I have faith young people are smart enough to recognize gaslighting. AKA Liberal Party Media/Academic propaganda.
As part of US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the Israel-Hamas war, international troops could be deployed in the Gaza Strip as early as next month, US officials told Reuters on December 12. According to the unnamed officials, the proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF) would not fight Hamas, the Palestinian terror group that sparked the war by invading Israel on October 7, 2023 and murdering more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals and wounding thousands more.
The new national-security strategy issued by the Trump administration has caused shock waves among the United States’ allies.
It contains a retreat by the United States from global leadership and an abandonment of any principled foreign policy. It fails to address threats posed by authoritarian regimes and castigates Europe as a continent in decline, which needs U.S.-style political change. It shows signs of weakening NATO commitments, lacks support for Ukraine and emphasizes U.S. dominance of the Western hemisphere. The Trump strategy presents an explosive mix of policies that give new substance to an unprecedented version of the doctrine of “America first.”
Apparently America is obligated to pick up the tab for everybody forever, 80 years wasn’t enough.
The Polish border guard has discovered a tunnel beneath the Poland-Belarus frontier, with officials confirming that more than 180 migrants entered Poland on Thursday, December 11th, through the underground passage. The tunnel, located near the village of Narewka in the northeastern region, is the fourth such structure detected along the border in 2025. Authorities report that over 130 people have been detained so far, while searches for the remaining migrants continue.
A Toronto man challenged the newly-opened Finch Light-Rail Transit to a race — and he won.
The Toronto Transit Commission’s Line 6 was riddled with service disruptions and disappointment from commuters during its opening week, particularly as advocates and councillors called for signal priority and faster trips.
Mac Bauer, who regularly races TTC vehicles, decided to take it upon himself to see if the new line truly was as slow as people described it to him.
The first victim of the deadly school shooting at Brown University has been identified as a sophomore student and vice president of the school’s college Republican club, Ella Cook, according to her Alabama parish and a former classmate.
The news of Cook’s death was shared during a service at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in her hometown of Birmingham.
Democrats incited their base to target Conservatives with political violence.
It’s open season on Conservatives now.
Will any Democrat leaders address the violence epidemic on their side?? https://t.co/4xflIqoCNK

The defence department has launched an investigation into the leak of a document now being used to undercut the government’s consideration of an alternative to the American-made F-35.
The leak of the four-year old document came in the midst of the ongoing process in which Prime Minister Mark Carney will have to decide whether to go with the F-35 or the Saab Gripen from Sweden.
