Prime Minister Mark Carney’s way of communicating and branding things is so distinct that some choice Carneyisms have crept into everyday Canadian speech over the year and a half he’s been a daily national presence.
We don’t have plans or policies in this country right now – everything is a strategy. Public money purportedly luring private investment is, of course, catalyzing.

The midnight arrest of Venezuelan Socialist dictator and drug kingpin Nicolás Maduro by U.S. Special Forces last Jan. 3 was supposed to open the way for a transition to political and economic normality in Venezuela. His vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, would work closely with the Trump administration towards holding new elections, restoring legal guarantees, and disconnecting the regime from drug cartels, Cuba, China, Russia, and Iran.

Over a million people descend on the Calgary Stampede every year to marvel at the iconic chuckwagon race, a sport invented in the Albertan city where carriage drivers race teams of horses around the track to the sound of pounding hooves, or be amazed by the speed of bareback riders racing in First Nations horse relays.
The ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’ is the marquee event on Alberta’s summer calendar, a distinctly western Canadian spectacle where political leaders also have to test their mettle, judged on the quality of their pancake flips at community Stampede breakfasts and their ability to pull off a cowboy hat.
How worried should Democrats be about the Democratic Socialists of America? In the wake of a series of DSA victories in New York City, Jonathan Chait raised the alarm in The Atlantic, writing that as the group has risen in power, it has also grown “more hostile to the [Democratic] party, more illiberal, and more dogmatic.” Long-time DSA members, including former staff member and thought leader David Duhalde and socialist magazine publisher Nathan J. Robinson, pushed back, dismissing Chait as someone who doesn’t know or understand the DSA.
Given that the Liberals long ago ditched Stephen Harper’s vision of transforming Canada into an “energy superpower,” Prime Minister Mark Carney has resorted to going cap-in-hand to actual energy superpowers to get some of their sweet, sweet oil money. The only problem: despite his promise to fast-track nation-building projects, Canada still doesn’t have anything to invest in.
For decades, Israel has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the United States against the Iranian regime, a hostile power that threatens regional stability, global security, and the very existence of democratic values in the world. Whether facing direct threats or terrorist groups and proxy militias, Israel has demonstrated unwavering and steadfast resolve, and a willingness to act when others in the world hesitated.

The crackdown on India-based organized crime continued on Friday as Canada’s immigration tribunal ordered the deportation of an accused member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Described as a “bottom-tier” associate of the Bishnoi gang in Edmonton, Jashandeep Singh is the latest Indian citizen to face deportation for his involvement in the violent crime group.
The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists after the newspaper reported on security concerns with the president’s new plane, according to the outlet.
The Times said its journalists were subpoenaed on Friday by the US justice department to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan five days later, marking the latest effort by the Trump White House to compel testimony from journalists under the threat of penalty. Agents delivered some of the subpoenas to the Times reporters at their homes, the paper added.
A US justice department statement responding to a request for comment about the subpoenas mentioned investigating “breaches of national security”.
The exodus to the U.S. continues for some Canadian-based businesses.
A new study by KPMG found that 40% or manufacturers in Canada have moved production south of the border or are considering the idea as they adapt to trade uncertainty and competitive pressure.
“Manufacturers have shown incredible resilience, adapting to tariffs and uncertainty to navigate this period of heightened volatility,” said Anamika Gadia, Partner and National Leader of Industrial Markets at KPMG Canada.
Carney’s call to arms has yielded less than 1% of the 50 Million needed for the restoration of 24 Sussex Drive.
I was just reading an essay on social media in which a Cuban woman calls the island nation a “concentration camp,” and she has a point. The humanitarian situation there is worse than it has ever been. Earlier this week, the country experienced yet another nationwide blackout. Food and potable water are becoming more and more scarce, as is medical care. Hundreds of political prisoners remain in detention centers. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are ready to fix these results of systematic oppression — that has lasted nearly seven decades — but the regime refuses to allow it. Instead, it does a lot of blaming and chest thumping, and promises major reforms in name only.
Lea Reambeault can walk to three discount supermarkets in minutes from her Toronto apartment above a Food Basics store. Still, grocery shopping is a chore she often leaves to her partner out of anxiety.
The 36-year-old mother of three has been out of work since the birth of her youngest daughter a year ago. Her family of five — squeezed into a two-bedroom unit — relies on her partner’s roughly $80,000 annual income and spends about $600 a week on groceries and household essentials. Sometimes the couple has to put off rent to keep food on the table.

President Trump on Friday night doubled down on his threat to “decimate and destroy” Iran should the regime succeed in assassinating him.
“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
