Canadians drastically downgrade climate as a priority, poll finds, as economic concerns escalate

OTTAWA — One of the key barriers that seemed to be facing the Carney government’s plans to fast-track big projects designed to boost the Canadian economy — namely, climate concerns — appears now to be not much of an obstacle at all when it comes to public opinion.

A new Leger poll released Friday asked Canadians about what they thought were the biggest challenges facing Canada. Trade and tariff issues and U.S. relations were No. 1, at 20 per cent. But climate change, one of the federal government’s key objections in recent years to building or expanding pipelines, ports and other big projects, was way down the list, a “third tier” issue, said Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns.

DOJ’s Epstein cover-up is a ‘civics test’ for Americans

It’s fairly rare that I agree with Glenn Beck on a political issue (he’s too much of a neocon for me), but he recently posted a brilliant thread on X detailing “five conclusions…for anyone who still cares about truth” on the latest chapter of the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, this development unfolding under the Trump administration. (For brevity’s sake I won’t include the whole thread, but the beginning of it can be found here.)

Now, I’ve seen a number of Republicans and conservatives declare that to some degree or another, they don’t really care about the Epstein saga—and if you don’t, then you’re not passing Beck’s “civics test.” I’d certainly agree. As Vince Coyner writes, this is “far bigger” than a pedophile and his crimes against children (which to me, should be reason enough to care about justice), and it’s a position that Beck articulately argues in his X thread.

Where All the Men Have Gone

In a recent New York Times article titled, “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back,” Rachel Drucker laments what she calls “a collective shift” in men, a “slow vanishing of presence.” So many single men, she writes, aren’t “sitting across from someone on a Saturday night, trying to connect.” Instead, they “have retreated from intimacy, hiding behind firewalls, filters and curated personas, dabbling and scrolling.” She adds, “We miss you.”

Quebec’s 25 richest people and the empires behind their billions

To break into Quebec’s wealthiest club, you’ll need more than a billion dollars. That’s the entry price for The Gazette’s inaugural Rich List, which ranks the province’s 25 wealthiest individuals and families.

Together, they hold nearly $87 billion in net worth, from a convenience-store empire and dairy dynasty, to a paper fortune and finance giant. This elite crowd has quietly stacked billions.

Some inherited it. Some built it. A few did both. But they all have one thing in common: they’re the richest people in the province.

New York Times admits migrant ‘conspiracy theory’ it scolded Donald Trump for is TRUE

Donald Trump has been vindicated after The New York Times accused him of pushing a false conspiracy theory about a migrant gang taking over a Colorado apartment building… only for the paper to now admit those same claims were true.

One article published last September scolded Trump for his ‘false’ claims that Aurora was overrun with Tren de Aragua goons.

But a recent investigation published by the esteemed paper now concedes the Denver suburb is indeed a hotspot for the Venezuelan gangsters.

CBC six-figure salaries soar

The number of staff at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation collecting six figure salaries has more than doubled since 2015, according to access-to-information records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“Taxpayers don’t need all these extra CBC employees taking six-figure salaries,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “The government should save money by taking air out of its highly paid bureaucracy and that includes Crown corporations like the CBC.”

JD Vance Artfully Connects Trump’s Immigration Policies to America’s Founding Vision

‘You cannot swap 10 million people from anywhere in the world and expect America to remain unchanged.’

Vice President JD Vance gave a speech last Saturday in which he tied together the Trump administration’s immigration policies to the core of American citizenship as envisioned in the country’s founding. Vance argued, “President Trump’s immigration policies are, I believe, the most important part of his successful first six months in the Oval Office.”

Vance addressed the topic of statesmanship and the meaning of American citizenship in the 21st century, emphasizing how principles of immigration policy are pivotal to understanding citizenship and national sovereignty.

Jamie Sarkonak: The CRTC is trying to tell local newsrooms what to report. It needs to stop

It shouldn’t be the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s job to regulate the demographic composition of the people we see on television. Nevertheless, it’s become a growing CRTC priority — and a critical threat to media independence in Canada.
