Renaming a Lake: A Surefire Way to Expose the Corrupt

Renaming a Lake: A Surefire Way to Expose the Corrupt

Watching the tussle between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump unfold — the former “Lake Ontario”/”Lake America,” ya know… Well, I’ve decided it’s about time I waded into this fight.

Carney rode into power in 2025 on a wave of manufactured Canadian nationalism, casting himself as the last line of defense against American economic influence — “elbows up,” as the slogan goes. Strip away the branding, though, and you find a man deeply, personally enmeshed in the very country he’s built his entire political persona around opposing. Grade-one hypocrisy, dressed up in a maple leaf.

Why Is the Trump Administration Determined to Arm Hostile Jihadist States That Will Outlast It?

Why Is the Trump Administration Determined to Arm Hostile Jihadist States That Will Outlast It?

An institution built around one person, such as the US President Donald J. Trump, carries the expiration date of that person’s term in office. The states that join it do not.

Nothing better explains the conduct of Turkey, Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia over the past eight months — and nothing in current American policy appears to be taking the countless danger signals from them seriously.

The real plan, as can be seen from Saudi Arabia’s recent moves, seems to be to avoid joining the Abraham Accords, and instead position themselves in Gaza, right on the border of Israel, to be able to attack it after Trump leaves office. No one will have his determination to make sure that any agreements are enforced.

WARMINGTON: As trade spat rages, alleged U.S. consulate shooter freed on bail

WARMINGTON: As trade spat rages, alleged U.S. consulate shooter freed on bail

If U.S. President Donald J. Trump was upset about Premier Doug Ford telling him to “kiss” his behind, there’s no telling how he may react to an Ontario judge saying the man charged in shooting up the American consulate in downtown Toronto does not have to sit in jail and is free to wait at home until his trial.


Canada’s justice system needs no incentive from Trump to make an ass of itself.

Abdul El-Sayed apologizes for comment about Michigan synagogue attack

Abdul El-Sayed apologizes for comment about Michigan synagogue attack

Michigan’s Democratic US senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed apologized to the state’s Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel’s actions in the Middle East.

“My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify,” El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. “To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry. That was not my intention.”

Immigrant groups say racism rising in Alberta as referendum looms

Immigrant groups say racism rising in Alberta as referendum looms

From her home in northeast Calgary, Saima Jamal scrolls through nearly a dozen hateful comments posted online ahead of a Muslim event in the city.

“One person said, ‘Hey, someone should plow into them.’ Another person is saying, ‘Please check their ID, arrest, deport,’” she said.

Jamal, the co-founder of the Calgary Immigrant Support Society — a group first created more than a decade ago to help Syrian refugees settle into life in Calgary — has lived in Alberta for almost 30 years.


Jamal should blame the people who brought her cult to Canada.

The Ukraine and Iran Wars Are a Wake Up Call

The Ukraine and Iran Wars Are a Wake Up Call

The two wars have both demonstrated the importance of unmanned systems in war and demolished the myths that have driven U.S. National Security polices for the last 25 years.

The late former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld created the most damaging myth by replacing traditional military threat planning with the delusion that pirates and terrorists would be America’s primary future threats. He rejected any concerns about a near peer opponent. That and Rumsfeld’s faith in promised new technologies, led to acquisition decisions that saddled the U.S. Navy with trouble-plagued warships that cannot be deployed safely into a combat zone. That is, the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS’s) and Zumwalt-class stealth “guided missile” destroyers (DDGs). Reportedly designed for “Littoral Warfare” like the U.S. Navy is currently fighting in the Strait of Hormuz, they are in fact not suitable for either “littoral” or broad ocean area warfare.

The fight for Alberta’s ‘soft separatists’ — the conservatives who want to send Carney a message

The fight for Alberta’s ‘soft separatists’ — the conservatives who want to send Carney a message

Monte Solberg is between a rock, a hard place and a divided conservative base.

The former Conservative MP and founder of Vote to Stay wants Albertans to believe their “future is stronger within a united Canada than outside of it.” Of all the players trying to sway the Oct. 19 vote — pro-separation and pro-Confederation — his path is the most treacherous.

GOLDSTEIN: Our economy? Now for the bad news

Let’s start with the good news.

Statistics Canada reported Friday that the Canadian economy grew by 3.3% on an annualized basis in the second quarter (April to June) of this year, its best performance since 2023 and highest in the G7.

The federal agency also revised an earlier finding that the economy contracted by 0.1% in the first quarter (January to March) to a 0.3% increase.

How a leftist network used by terrorists operated in plain sight for years

How a leftist network used by terrorists operated in plain sight for years

Leftists used a foreign technology group’s tools to encourage crimes in the United States across multiple presidencies with near impunity. Now, they have one month to stop or face legal consequences.

The State and Treasury Departments sanctioned the Italy-based Autistici Inventati Collective as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” on Wednesday for providing digital services such as NoBlogs, a blogging platform that hosts numerous radical leftist sites. NoBlogs users follow a long-standing anarchist tradition of posting anonymous articles — sometimes called communiques or report-backs — that openly take credit for violent attacks or call for further illegal behavior. The A/I Collective publicly offers NoBlogs, encrypted communication, and other tools only to “anti-fascism” activists to keep their data off-grid from traditional corporate platforms and inaccessible to law enforcement, the State Department noted.

It’s easier to support a trade war if you can afford one

It’s easier to support a trade war if you can afford one

New Ipsos research suggests that support for Canada’s position on trade is more conditional than the government’s current defiant stance may suggest.

For older Canadians and for those who can afford it, sovereignty is something they have the means to fight for. For younger Canadians and those with lower incomes, their finances take precedence. It isn’t necessarily that these Canadians do not want Canada to take a strong stand; they just don’t think they can take the hit.

Trump posts AI video of ‘Lake America’ being protected by an army of bequiffed ‘Donald Ducks’

President Donald Trump on Saturday posted an apparently AI-generated video depicting an army of buff, bequiffed and heavily-armed “Donald Ducks” patrolling the shores of “Lake America.”

Hours later, while he was at his Virginia golf course, the president posted another AI-generated video, this time showing himself knocking over a “Welcome to Lake Ontario” sign and installing a “Welcome to Lake America” one in its place. He then dances to the Village People’s “YMCA.”

I’ve been in hospitals around the world. Canada was the only place I slept in a hallway

I’ve been in hospitals around the world. Canada was the only place I slept in a hallway

When I woke up one morning in early July, I had no idea that day would end with me parked in a hospital bed in a hallway at Royal University Hospital (RUH) in Saskatoon, hearing the screams of other patients.

Of course, I had heard stories about the decline of health care and wait times in hospitals in Canada and in Saskatchewan. Stories about people spending days waiting for care in hospital hallways seemed unreal most of the time, because they weren’t happening to me — that is, until it was.


We are dying as a people and a state.

Inside Trump’s Plan to Give the Pentagon a Stake in Venezuela’s Oil Riches

Inside Trump’s Plan to Give the Pentagon a Stake in Venezuela’s Oil Riches

President Trump spent months declaring his ouster of Venezuela’s leader had secured the country’s oil for America. When U.S. energy companies resisted investing at the speed and scale he wanted, his administration devised an extraordinary solution to turn his vision into reality: make the U.S. government itself an investor.

The agreement announced Friday evening would transform the U.S. government from a broker of American oil investments in Venezuela to an investor itself.

It would give Washington a direct financial stake in a private company that would be granted centurylong rights to some of the world’s largest proven oil reserves—and tie the U.S. more closely to the unelected government that is granting those rights.


CANADA BEWARE – Trump’s Massive Venezuela Oil Gambit is Also Another Massive Wake-Up Call for Canadian Energy

If Washington secures access to 90 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil, Canadian producers could face a powerful new competitor in their most important market. Ottawa can no longer afford to delay pipelines, regulatory reform or the investment conditions needed to diversify Canadian energy exports.

Google maps changes Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ for U.S. users

People using Google Maps in the U.S. will see Lake America – but the rest of the world will still see Lake Ontario.

On Saturday, Google Maps announced that the update was made after U.S. Geographic Names Information Systems (GNIS) formally made the name change.

In a blog post, it stated that updates are made to reflect names changes in official government sources.

My hope is that one day we’ll laugh over all this.
