Is this the beginning of the end of the Doug Ford era in Ontario?

Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty was just one seat shy of securing a third majority mandate when he led his party to win the 2011 Ontario election. It wasn’t a great result – the Liberals won 18 fewer seats than they had the previous election – but it was still a win, and Mr. McGuinty’s approval rating was a respectable (for a third-time premier) 38 per cent by the end of the year.

But almost exactly one year later, Mr. McGuinty called an emergency caucus meeting to announce his resignation as Liberal leader and the prorogation of the legislature. “After nine years as premier, it’s time for renewal, it’s time for the next Liberal premier,” Mr. McGuinty said.

Nato prepares for the Battle of the Baltics

Nato prepares for the Battle of the Baltics

As sunbeams pierce the storm clouds over Latvia’s coastline, the US navy Seabees are building the boat ramps that may one day be needed to counter a Russian invasion.

“Run the tape, fellahs,” cries out Capt Allen Willey, the Seabees’ commanding officer, as his seamen measure up a wire grid inside the ramp. “It’s like a game of hopscotch.”

The veteran of four decades takes a closer look at the precise 11-degree incline of the ramp, used for offloading troops, vessels and military vehicles. His sailors brace for his verdict. Then his hard features break into a boyish smile. “Love it.”

Josh Dehaas: Ben Bankas keeps getting cancelled because he mocks politicians

Comedian Ben Bankas started to gain notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic when he parodied Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Theresa Tam. “You need to fall in line,” he says in one of his viral videos, using an exaggerated Chinese accent. “You need to listen to your woke white neighbour who wear a mask and make her five-year-old child wear a mask even though he don’t understand why. She’s a hero.”

Fresh footage shows violence at French music festival where women were injected with date-rape drugs amid carnage – as one woman describes being ‘attacked by North Africans’

Fresh videos circulating on social media show groups of young men smashing up cars and brawling in the streets, at a French music festival where women were injected with date-rape drugs and ‘attacked by North Africans.’

In one clip, a man appears to swing a barstool at a car and a group of men, while others nearby kick and stomp on another man as he lies in the street.

Another shows festivalgoers jumping on the shattered windscreen of a separate vehicle as music blares and people dance around it while piles of litter line the pavement.

Mark Carney sidelined from at least 17 government deliberations because of corporate conflicts

Mark Carney sidelined from at least 17 government deliberations because of corporate conflicts

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s corporate past has prevented him from participating in at least 17 “situations” involving his own government, including discussions of a payout of up to $3.1 billion to support housing loans, the possible export of electricity to the United States, and the creation of this week’s new nuclear energy plan.

The revelation is contained in letters that the Privy Council Office (PCO) — the branch of the bureaucracy that supports the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) — sent to a parliamentary committee that probed the “screens” that Carney set up last year to protect himself from conflicts of interest.

Remigration in 2027? Brussels Accelerates Deportation Centres

Remigration in 2027? Brussels Accelerates Deportation Centres

The European Union could have its first deportation centres operating outside its borders before the end of 2027 and could even begin establishing them as early as next year.

That was the message from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in an interview with the Financial Times, in which she said that several European governments are already working alongside the European Commission to turn into reality one of the most controversial migration proposals of recent years and one of the key priorities championed by patriotic movements seeking to reverse the damage caused by years of uncontrolled immigration.

Five-year sentence cut in half for armed carjacker because pre-trial custody was ‘harsh and demeaning’

Five-year sentence cut in half for armed carjacker because pre-trial custody was ‘harsh and demeaning’

A judge defended the one-day sentence he handed a carjacker who stole a Toronto driver’s Mercedes at gunpoint, blaming the man’s jailers for failing the community.

Jaiden Robinson, who spent 809 days (two years and 79 days) in pre-trial custody, pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice to robbery with a prohibited weapon for a March 2024, mid-afternoon carjacking at the Shops at Don Mills. Both the Crown and Robinson’s lawyer recommended he get the mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison.

UK Needs To Ditch Censorship And Mass Migration, Not Just Keir Starmer

UK Needs To Ditch Censorship And Mass Migration, Not Just Keir Starmer

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation Monday morning after less than two years of overseeing civilizational decline in Britain. But just because the country got rid of “the worst Prime Minister of the worst Government of the worst party,” as one member of Parliament said, does not mean it is very much closer to solving its anti-Western crises like censorship and mass migration.

The Climate Scenario Behind A Decade of Alarmism Is No Longer Considered Plausible

The Climate Scenario Behind A Decade of Alarmism Is No Longer Considered Plausible

For years, some of the most alarming projections of climate change were built upon a scenario known as RCP 8.5 and its successor, SSP5-8.5.

The public rarely heard those technical labels. Instead, they encountered the conclusions. Headlines warned of climate catastrophe. Studies projected severe economic losses, rising mortality, agricultural disruption, sea-level rise, and increasingly extreme weather. Governments cited such projections when developing policy. Courts referenced them in climate litigation. Businesses incorporated them into risk assessments.

The far-Right’s Polish love affair

Rafał came to England for an easy life. He was in his late twenties, his parents had just died, and he had little to keep him in Poland. So when his sister suggested he join her, he upped sticks from Kielce, an elegant old town not far from Kraków. His first port of call was Great Yarmouth. It was 2007, three years since the European Union had expanded to the east, granting the right to live and work in the UK to millions more people.

‘Islamophobia’ Makes a Texas Muslim Start Crying

‘Islamophobia’ Makes a Texas Muslim Start Crying

Texas is home to some serious anti-Sharia initiatives, and the establishment media is fighting back with everything it’s got, misrepresenting Sharia as private religious law that harms no one, and smearing opponents of Sharia as “far-right” mouth-breathers who are bent on opposing Sharia not out of any real principle, but because they hate “brown people,” and are unjustly suspicious of anything that ain’t Christian, ‘specially some furrin’ law that folks that don’t even talk like us is bringin’ here in the dark of night.

Terry Newman: Montreal shooter was a revolutionary communist

Terry Newman: Montreal shooter was a revolutionary communist

On Monday, in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood, 25-year-old Seth Hatfield of Lethbridge, Alta., is alleged to have carried out a shooting that resulted in the deaths of an officer and a civilian before he was fatally shot by police. Initial media reports described Hatfield as an “incel” who sought to target women. Yet his 104-page manifesto is unarguably pro-communist, anti-western and anti-Zionist. It blames what he sees as the displacement of monogamy not on women, but on capitalism and consumer culture.
