Joly credits immigrants for Terrebonne victory as Liberals targets African immigrants

OTTAWA — Liberal Industry Minister Mélanie Joly pointed to changing demographics following her party’s performance in the Terrebonne byelection, as new figures show Ottawa has spent millions promoting immigration from French-speaking countries abroad.

“Very important community from Haiti, also from northern Africa… things are changing across the country,” Joly said when asked about the result.

Will all of Europe soon be a no-go wasteland?

Will all of Europe soon be a no-go wasteland?

Artificial intelligence is not necessary. Just turn on French TV.

Interviewer on street: “Is this neighborhood of Marseille peaceful?”

A left-wing woman: “Yes, peaceful and diverse, we live in peace.”

Suddenly a guy appears on the street threatening a French man because he is smoking during Ramadan, saying that “it is haram and provocative.”

A scene like this live on TV cannot be invented.

Trudeau can live his post-political life however he wants, but it will invariably reflect on his time in office

Trudeau can live his post-political life however he wants, but it will invariably reflect on his time in office

George W. Bush took up painting when he left the Oval Office in 2009. In 2014, he unveiled his first public exhibit, entitled “The Art of Leadership: A President’s Personal Diplomacy,” which featured portraits of world leaders he met during his time in office.

The whole thing was sort of … odd.

It’s Time to Rethink NATO

It’s Time to Rethink NATO

NATO won the Cold War—but clinging to it now drains U.S. power from the Indo-Pacific, where the real contest for the future is unfolding.

It has been nearly 80 years since the guns fell silent in World War II. In that long arc of peace, the United States helped rebuild a shattered Europe, deter Soviet expansion, and anchor what we now call the transatlantic alliance. Those were noble achievements. They mattered. They still echo in the prosperity and stability of the Western world today.

But history is not a life sentence. And gratitude, while virtuous, is not a strategy.

How Canada’s economy is choking from federal regulations: 7 graphs

How Canada’s economy is choking from federal regulations: 7 graphs

Regulatory reform is a rare common ground in Canadian politics. The Carney government launched a red tape review last year and reversed several Trudeau-era regulatory policies. Cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc has publicly criticized how red tape holds back the economy, while Pierre Poilievre has made cutting it a centrepiece of his economic pitch.

A recent survey by the Business Council of Canada found that nearly half of CEOs identify the domestic regulatory burden as the single most important factor influencing their investment decisions—higher than CUSMA uncertainty—topping the list in every survey wave since 2023.

California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens

California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens

Last month, we received a report from a whistleblower who claimed that illegal aliens were staying in San Francisco’s homeless shelters. Following up on the tip, we visited numerous publicly funded shelters in San Francisco, and spoke to employees and residents about their policies, sometimes through a translator.

We discovered not only that the shelters were housing illegal immigrants but also that they were apparently housing a population of male-to-female “transgender” illegal aliens, who had hoped to obtain “gender-affirming care.” And, to our shock, state and local governments apparently are providing it.

Why Does the European Commission Support the Muslim Brotherhood?

Why Does the European Commission Support the Muslim Brotherhood?

The European Commission, the unelected executive arm of the European Union, assured Europeans in 2019 that it was not spending their hard-earned taxpayer money on supporting the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). In response to a question by Charlie Weimers, a Swedish Member of European Parliament, about the Commission’s funding of the MB, European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas said:

“[T]he European Commission does not finance extremists. On the contrary, we have very strong oversight and audit of our financing… and if you have evidence to the contrary, I would be very interested to have it.”

Conservatives call on Carney not to ‘stack the deck’ by using majority to shut opposition out of committees

OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives are calling on the Liberals not to overhaul the makeup of parliamentary committees, which Prime Minister Mark Carney signalled would be coming in the wake of securing a majority.

Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer appeared before reporters on Thursday to underscore how the membership of committees — bodies where MPs can launch studies into issues and where legislation is sent to be dissected and amended — has up until now been decided through negotiations between the parties based on the most recent election results.

The Electric Bus Bust Mayhem Continues

The Electric Bus Bust Mayhem Continues

I do like to follow up and keep you all on top of where things stand with some of the previous stories I’ve covered. Sometimes, it’s true, there’s not much to write about because whatever happened happened and then they lie there like a dead bug until they shrivel and go away of their own accord.

In other cases, there can be happier resolutions, which is always cheerful news, but those are admittedly rare.


Keeping an eye on …

Ford vows to ‘get down to the bottom’ of how over 150 inmates were improperly released

Ford vows to ‘get down to the bottom’ of how over 150 inmates were improperly released

More than 150 inmates have been improperly released from Ontario’s jails over several years, a problem that Premier Doug Ford called “unacceptable” on Wednesday.

Global News unearthed government documents through freedom-of-information laws that show the province mistakenly released 157 inmates between 2021 and 2025.

Those documents say the majority of errors were made at the jails and in court, some were administrative while others were human error.

Greg Dolezal’s Blunt Warning About Sharia Law Is Turning Heads in Georgia

Greg Dolezal’s Blunt Warning About Sharia Law Is Turning Heads in Georgia

It’s no secret that radical Islam is an insidious ideology that threatens the Judeo-Christian societal order. Not only are we dealing with an Islamist foe in Iran, but we can also see what is happening in places like the UK and other parts of Europe, where Muslims are running roughshod over society.

The Islamists have their sights set on the U.S. as well. Witness Minnesota and Michigan, where pockets of Muslims are transforming their neighborhoods and cities. About a year and a half ago, I drove to Milledgeville, Ga., near the center of the state, for a concert. On one of the sidewalks in this quiet, quintessentially Southern college town, I saw a Muslim family whose mother wore the full burqa. All you could see were her eyes.

Toronto World Cup economic projections called into question as FIFA cancels hotel reservations

Toronto World Cup economic projections called into question as FIFA cancels hotel reservations

With Toronto set to host six World Cup games this summer, it’s still unclear just how much the city’s and country’s economies will benefit from FIFA’s flagship tournament, say economists and critics.

That concern has grown even more since FIFA “released” thousands of hotel rooms it had blocked off in host cities across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. As well, the city backtracked on a plan to charge for all entries into fan zones as a way to recoup some of the escalating costs.
