OTTAWA — Hunter Biden says the ball is in Canada’s court when it comes to the state of the country’s relationship with the United States going forward.
Former U.S. president Joe Biden’s son is back in the spotlight, but this time, for his sometimes-brutal honesty and no-holds-barred social media presence, including social media posts about Canada.
Indigenous community members have encouraged federal officials to reflect on how the Order of Canada can overcome its “deep colonial symbolism and associations,” says an internal government presentation on efforts to modernize the Canadian honours system.
The April presentation, prepared for the Order of Canada Advisory Council, says recent feedback indicates that accepting the honour “could bring feelings of discomfort or shame” to some Indigenous people due to its colonial associations.

The backlash came fast and furious, and with greater velocity than perhaps at any other moment in Mark Carney‘s tenure as prime minister.
The Liberals’ proposal last week — to put up 10 per cent of roughly $1.45 billion for the acquisition of unsold B.C. condos which in turn would be sold at affordable rates on a rent-to-buy basis — was rapidly condemned by critics as a “bailout” — evidence not only of political perfidy, but also ideological gymnastics on the part of a former central banker who, once upon a time, cautioned against this kind of moral hazard. (Carney himself acknowledged the reveal was a case study in miscommunication)
Two of four reactors at Ontario’s Darlington Nuclear Generating Station have been out of service for prolonged outages, after the completion of a 10-year refurbishment that provincial officials have repeatedly characterized as an unqualified success.
The station’s reactors were refurbished between October, 2016, and early March, when the final unit returned to service. Ever since, station owner Ontario Power Generation and the provincial government have told the public that the project was completed four months ahead of schedule, and $150-million under its $12.8-billion budget.
The past few years of chaos at Oakville’s Canada Day event, where hundreds of teens gathered and set off fireworks at each other and bystanders, almost led to this year’s waterfront display being cancelled entirely.
“We’ve had people get hit with fireworks. I’ve been hit with fireworks,” said Oakville councillor Sean O’Meara. “Businesses have had fireworks shot into them. It’s, kind of, anarchy.”
We have bigger problems than fireworks.

A Mexican vigilante dubbed “Batman” is wanted by police for allegedly chasing down suspected motorbike thieves around town and taping them to lampposts, according to a report.
A Paris official has said she holds the US partially responsible for the record-breaking heatwave in France.
The comments were made as part of a scathing rebuke to American tourists, immigrants and expats who have been criticising France for its lack of air conditioning across the country.
The first Nova Scotian of African descent to be appointed to the province’s judiciary is joining the federal government’s newly formed Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion, after scathing criticism directed at Ottawa for its initial omission of a Black representative.
WTF? This makes no sense at all but the same could be said for all the appointments.
While acknowledging his Liberal government overshot post-pandemic admissions to Canada, Justin Trudeau defended immigration as essential and said successful integration depends not on common ancestry, but “shared values.”
The former prime minister shared his thoughts on immigration during a fireside-style chat with Finnish journalist Jaako Loikanna at the Sumoi Areena, an annual public debate and societal discussion forum in Pori, Finland, last Thursday.
I’ve been waiting to use “cockwomble”.

We all know the myth – to boil frogs, slowly increase the temperature so they won’t realize it until it’s too late to jump out of the pot and save themselves. This summer, it appears the frogs are starting to feel the heat. Along with the anger at open borders, this may finally presage the end of the green nonsense and the politicians who are destroying their countries by promoting this hogswallop.
🇪🇺 Europe go get some airconditioning oh my God!

An American woman denied permanent residency in Canada due to convictions for impaired driving and drug possession has won another shot at staying here because the immigration officer who made the decision ignored “the best interests of her children and her experience as an Indigenous person.”
