In another time, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s talk of steep government spending cuts would be the talk of the town. But these aren’t other times.
We now live in the age of Trump, and the U.S. President’s ongoing trade war with the world is a story that is able to erase much of most other countries’ domestic news agenda. And so it is with Canada and its need to reduce spending after years of Trudeau-era bloat.
A pro-Trump and Christian singer whose events on his East Coast Canadian tour have had to be moved to alternate venues after being cancelled is slated to play at the Alberta legislature grounds in August.
U.S. musician Sean Feucht has faced protests and cancellations this week on the first leg of his cross-country tour, which is slated to stop on Aug. 22 in Edmonton for a performance at the grounds’ south bandshell.
I’m not Feucht’s fan but I hate CBC and our Ugly Canadians even more.
The decline in wellbeing among young people is an all-too-familiar trend. Less understood is that the situation is significantly worse in the Anglosphere — Britain, Ireland, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — than in Western Europe. The contrast is documented, chart by chart, in a new report for the Financial Times. Drawing on data from the World Happiness Report, John Burn-Murdoch argues that the “worsening in young adult mental health over the past decade is primarily, if not exclusively, an Anglosphere phenomenon”.
“The horrific killing of Kashif Masih is not just a tragedy—it is a damning indictment of the justice system in Pakistan. That a man could be tortured to death under false allegations, and that the police failed to act promptly or conduct a proper investigation, shows the systemic discrimination Christians face daily. The failure to collect crucial evidence and the reluctance to pursue justice….” — britishasianchristians.org, June 2, 2025.
Mark Carney has been prime minister of Canada since March. He’s been called many things by many people in this short time period. It never came to mind that he would be described as a “progressive conservative” along the lines of Brian Mulroney.
This, in a nutshell, is the nonsense that the Globe and Mail’s editorial board is currently peddling.
I’m not a fan of either.
Team Obama is panicking.
You can see it in every flailing move, every desperate media blitz, and every attempt to deflect from the deep, unresolved questions about the origins of Russiagate. The architects of the infamous hoax—Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey—have all been exposed, thanks to the tenacity of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who recently dropped declassified documents implicating the Obama-era intelligence cabal in concocting and perpetuating the false Russia narrative that hounded President Donald Trump throughout his first term.
Donald Trump is visiting Europe. Upon arriving there, when asked about migration, he had a blunt response, which is that unlimited immigration is killing Europe. The elites were outraged, but I suspect that the common man in Europe had the same response that the dissidents did in 1983, when Ronald Reagan bucked the sophisticated elites and accurately called the Soviet Union an “evil empire.”
Months after a knee surgery, June Francis booked a business-class flight from Vancouver for a conference in Toronto, the first leg of a work trip that would also include the U.S. and Peru.
Having waited in the “exceptionally long line” at check-in for business passengers, the 62-year-old Jamaican Canadian said she approached the economy area and attempted to ask an Air Canada staffer for help, out of concern about standing too long on her replaced knees.
But what happened next would lead to a complaint that is believed to be the first case of “flying while Black” that reaches a full hearing before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.

Paytas, 37, who is already mother to daughters Malibu Barbie and Elvis, decided to name her first son Aquaman – after the DC superhero.

Federal officials pushed to approve Islamic-compliant home loans despite repeated internal warnings that the proposal was unworkable, according to newly released Access To Information records.
Blacklock’s Reporter says emails reveal the Department of Finance wanted to move “extremely fast” on Sharia-compliant mortgages in the months leading up to the April 28 election, despite concerns from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) that the financial structure conflicted with tax laws, liability rules, and existing mortgage insurance policies.
The country is a NATO ally and G7 member. While the U.S.-U.K. relationship is often touted as Washington’s most “special,” the Canadian relationship is arguably the most critical to the future of the U.S. economy and soft power. The projection of U.S. hard power abroad depends in part on positive global public perception of Washington’s leadership. This stems from the United States being a beacon of freedom and arsenal of democracy in World War I, World War II, crises across the Taiwan Strait, the Korean war, and others. If after all of that, we now treat Canada with a lack of foresight for short-term trade interests, we lose at least some of our moral high ground, which negatively affects our soft power, and as well our long-term national interests.
ICE raid at major pot operation clouds picture for legal cannabis in California
Camarillo — Ever since federal immigration agents raided one of the largest licensed cannabis operators in the state this month, the phones of cannabis industry insiders have been blazing with messages of fear, sadness and confusion.
“It sent shock waves through the community,” said Hirsh Jain, the founder of Ananda Strategy, which advises cannabis businesses. “Everyone is on text threads.”
Glass House Brands, whose cannabis operations have helped make Santa Barbara and Ventura counties the new cannabis capitals of California, has long been among the most prominent companies in the state’s wild frontier of legal cannabis. Some call it the “Walmart of Weed” for its streamlined, low-cost production methods, its gargantuan market share and its phalanx of wealthy investors and powerful lobbyists.
Ottawa is quietly working on launching a new entity it hopes will be key to housing affordability
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has been quiet since the federal election about the housing crisis, the same issue that contributed to the Liberals’ fading popularity under their previous leader.
Behind the scenes, however, housing stakeholders are fielding a flurry of calls from government officials seeking their advice on the creation of Build Canada Homes, a new federal entity that Mr. Carney has said will get the government back in the business of homebuilding.
