Did Carney go too far in offering ‘support’ for U.S. strikes against Iran?

Every prime minister is called upon, at one point or another, to comment on the actions of an American president. For Mark Carney, still less than a year on the job, there have already been several such moments.

The latest moment of necessity arrived this past weekend, when the United States and Israel launched new attacks on Iran.

The response, a six-paragraph statement in the names of Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, has raised questions with which the prime minister may have to wrestle.

Oh yes CBC Carney was far too harsh on the murderous Mullah regime!

HUNTER: Sex torture killer Darren Scott Ray murdered boy, 14. Now, he’s out

Darren Pepin’s mother was happy that Darren Scott Ray got what was coming to him.

A life sentence for the heinous 1986 Toronto sex slaying of Darren, who was just 14. The less charitable among us would suggest the end of a rope would be a more fitting conclusion.

Alberta and Quebec are going in very different directions on MAID

OTTAWA — Alberta announced last week that it will be following Quebec’s lead in asserting provincial control over medical assistance in dying (MAID), but it will be taking a much different direction.

Quebec has taken steps to expand access to MAID, including via so-called “advance requests” allowing some residents to get pre-approval for assisted dying, but Alberta has signalled that restrictions are coming.

Nobody wants to host the Olympics: Calgary balking at 2026 bid is emblematic of wider trend

Paris Olympics

CALGARY – The sun hangs low in the southern sky on a frigid Thursday in January, shining through the cloud cover, visible just above the peak of the big ski hill at WinSport Canada Olympic Park.

School-age kids on ski day field trips troop toward the lifts that will shuttle them up the slope. By 10 a.m. the big hill is buzzing with activity, but the park, which attracts roughly 1.2 million visitors a year, will be even busier tonight, when kids get out of school and adults finish work.

Same goes for the World Cup which Toronto slipped past voters when they weren’t looking.

Defence minister says Khamenei was a ‘force for evil,’ as divisions emerge among Liberals over backing of U.S. strikes

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — Canada’s defence minister says the Liberal party is a “big tent” as divisions emerge over its decision to back the U.S. strikes against Iran, calling its supreme leader who was killed in the assaults a “force for evil.”

David McGuinty travelled to Australia alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney on the second part of a three-part trip to India, Australia and Japan to drum up new investments into Canada. Carney is set over the next few days to meet with Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who also offered his support for the strikes.

Liberal MP criticizes Mark Carney’s support for U.S. attack on Iran

OTTAWA — A Liberal MP has broken ranks with Prime Minister Mark Carney over his support for deadly U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, arguing Canada “cannot endorse the unilateral and illegal use of military force” while insisting its own sovereignty must be respected.

Who???

In a weekend social media video that was “liked” by a handful of other Liberal MPs, rookie Victoria MP Will Greaves said Carney’s support for the strikes, which killed Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and sparked an escalated Middle East conflict, “feels different” from the prime minister’s Davos declaration of a Canadian foreign policy rooted in “independence, consistency and principled pragmatism.”

I like how the Star picks a lone White guy when you know the LPC’s Muslim caucus is what drives the “dissent”

Toronto’s mayor promised to help these tenants. Months later, conditions are so bad Canada Post won’t deliver their mail

When Mayor Olivia Chow visited 500 Dawes Rd. last July, she assured tenants of the 14-storey East York residential building notorious for property standards violations that the city would take action.

The following month, the mayor took to Facebook to share her grievances, highlighting that “when landlords refuse to act over and over, the city can step in, take on the repairs directly, and charge it back to the landlord.

“It’s time to fix what’s broken,” she added.

When it comes to the U.S., here is why Doug Ford should let others do the talking

“I’m going to be on the phone full steam, and later on, do a U.S. trip,” Premier Doug Ford told reporters at Queen’s Park on Monday. The Toronto Sun responded with its trademark headline treatment: “Doug, you’re not helping,” warning his CNN appearance risked inflaming an already bad situation.

There’s no doubt Premier Ford’s plain speaking makes for good television. But he must walk a fine line: advocate for Ontario’s interests, yes, but without handing U.S. politicians an excuse to dismiss Canada’s case as foreign meddling. On Monday, on Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room, he crossed that line.

The cruelty of the Hollywood race hypocrites

AT THIS year’s Bafta awards, a moment of pure neurological chaos unfolded. John Davidson, the Tourette syndrome campaigner and subject of the film I Swear, let out an involuntary shout of the N-word while the black actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award. Davidson has coprolalia, a severe form of the disorder that forces out taboo words without warning or consent. He did not choose it. He did not mean it. Yet the backlash was swift, vicious and revealing.
