‘WE ARE going to have fun,’ writes Jeffrey Epstein on December 7, 2009. This phrase is his reply to an email from Boris Nikolic, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s science adviser and scientific adviser to Bill Gates, who is making a list of ‘raising stars’, many of them scientists, that they ‘should visit together’.
First of all, let’s put the latest Angus Reid Institute survey on Alberta independence into perspective.
When the pollsters found just 29 per cent of Albertans support separation, the response by a lot of commentators was, “See, we told you Albertans don’t want to leave.”
But keep in mind that 29 per cent support from Albertans for leaving Confederation is exactly the same amount (29 per cent) as a poll earlier this month found in Quebec.
Western and other intelligence agencies last week told the United Nations that Al-Qaeda now has 25,000 members globally. Much of the ensuing press coverage has seized on the contrast: on 11 September 2001, the organisation was thought to have numbered just 500. The not-so-subtle implication here — that the Global War on Terror was worse than useless — must be resisted.
The figures themselves should be treated with scepticism. Assessing the size of militant groups, even non-clandestine ones, is fraught. Intelligence agencies presumably have sources researchers do not. Reliable or not, though, visibility is not the main issue.
OTTAWA/TORONTO — In this episode, I catch up with columnist Brian Lilley to unpack Prime Minister Mark Carney’s emerging trade and cooperation agenda with the People’s Republic of China — and why I argue these agreements could accelerate Canada’s decline on multiple fronts.
Before we get into Ottawa’s electric vehicle deal — which I argue risks introducing foreign surveillance platforms onto Canadian roads while aggravating our most important trade partner, the United States — we step back and ask: what is Carney really trying to accomplish?
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif became notorious at the Paris Olympics in 2024, winning gold in the women’s welterweight division despite allegations that Khelif was biologically male. Well, Khelif made an astonishing admission last week.
Liberals and Conservatives are working out a path that could keep the government in power, sources tell CBC News, while Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to downplay the likelihood of a spring election.
Asked on Monday whether an election was coming, Carney demurred.
“It’s time to do a lot more work. We’ve got a lot of work to do,” he told CBC News on his way into West Block.
But behind the scenes, Liberals and Conservatives have been working on potential deals that could end a parliamentary gridlock and potentially avoid a second federal election in 12 months, three senior Liberal and Conservative sources said.
Someone is lying. Sorry misinformed.
LILLEY: Carney is asking Ford for election advice because Poilievre won’t
Conservatives angry over prime minister and premier talking about an early election should be asking why their leader isn’t doing the same
Going to an early election worked for Doug Ford, will it work for Mark Carney? The two have been talking about this issue with Carney asking questions and Ford offering up his opinions in conversations over the past several weeks.
An aide to New York City’s socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani boasted her hatred of ‘white woman behavior’ on social media after she received a dirty look for taking a 40 minute phone call on the train.
Drashti Brahmbhatt, an advisor for Mamdani’s 100-Day Planning and Implementation period, detailed the awkward encounter in November 2021 in a series of since-deleted tweets.
Brahmbhatt claimed she was riding the Metro-North Railroad when she received an ‘important’ call that ‘could not wait’, she wrote in tweets unearthed by Washington Free Beacon reporter Jon Levine.
Do you believe Mark Carney’s Liberal government will compensate you fairly for your confiscated firearms?
We don’t, because this scheme only pays compensation in narrowly defined circumstances.

Hollywood as we know it is sick — not the kind of sick you might usually think of with the woke agenda pushing, child-actor grooming, and all the rest — but the “sick and dying” kind of sick.
Netflix’s Chief Global Affairs Officer warned Monday that Hollywood will suffer billions of dollars worth of job losses if rival Paramount Skydance succeeds in buying Warner Bros. Discovery out from under the streaming giant’s buyout bid.

Here is a prime example of the Weimarization of America — to be specific, what is driving an already unstable polity closer to the brink.

Sometimes a punchline arrives a few weeks after the joke.
A little less than three weeks ago, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the globalist media swoon by standing on a stage in Davos and declaring the sudden new limits of American power. For years, Carney said, American hegemony was a stabilizing force in the world, so other countries tolerated America’s many failures to live up to its declared ideals — in Carney’s words, “the gaps between rhetoric and reality.”

Trump’s realists are reorienting American power from Europe to the Indo-Pacific.
Government bureaucracies change very slowly. There is a tendency among governments — call it bureaucratic inertia — to keep doing what you have been doing for decades, even in the face of changed conditions. The United States emerged from the Second World War with a globalist outlook because, alone among the world’s great powers, it escaped the worst consequences of that war and faced a global ideological and geopolitical challenge from the Soviet Union. Those circumstances created in the United States an Atlanticist outlook that prioritized Europe over Asia with the Marshall Plan and the formation of NATO.
Seventy-one per cent of Canadians agree with B.C. Premier David Eby’s recent statement that “to go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there’s an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason,” according to a new poll from Canada Pulse Insights.
