As America's 250th Anniversary approaches, we reflect on one of the greatest pillars our Founding Fathers instilled in this nation: freedom. It's not just a word — it's the constitutional cornerstone that has fueled our country's enduring success for 250 years.
The Chinese Communist Party sees it differently. Their leaders have made clear that freedom is something to be feared and suppressed — and their actions prove it.
This is horrible journalism on an even worse study.
Studies like these are made to look official and academic, they are activist papers used to push an agenda.
We were sold safe injection sites as a way to save lives, a path to treatment.
They aren't that. They never were.
Very unfortunate decision. The facts have shown again and again that UNRWA is part of the problem, NOT the solution. Its staff and facilities have been compromised to serve the genocidal HAMAS attacks on Israel before, during and after October 7, 2023. Its textbooks bred and spread hatred against Jews and Israel since this organisation’s misguided founding.
Currently virtually no aid is delivered by UNRWA in Gaza.
It’s a bad day to be a major pharmaceutical company doing clinical trials with the PLA.
Chairman @RepMoolenaar joins @CNBC demanding answers from American drug companies conducting clinical trials at Chinese military hospitals and in Xinjiang. These trials risk handing the CCP critical intellectual property while deepening America's dependence on China's biotech and pharmaceutical sectors.
The govt doesn’t ‘build’ business or ‘create’ housing. It is a bureaucracy. Its role is to cut taxes and streamline regulation so Canadas entrepreneurs can compete globally. When it doesn’t - the smartest people and capital leave. @KirkLubimov is always on it.
My heart is with Venezuela. 🇻🇪💔
I have been trying to find the right words, but there are moments when words simply do not feel big enough.
Lives have been lost. Children and families have been displaced and left without homes or basic necessities. Some are grieving, while others are desperately searching for the people they love, enduring the unbearable uncertainty of not knowing whether they are safe or whether they will ever see them again.
Yes, my family is safe, and I am deeply grateful. Venezuela is where I was born. It is part of my story, my roots and my identity, even though Canada is the country that raised me and became my home.
To witness this tragedy from far away is heartbreaking. Yet, in the middle of so much devastation, I am overwhelmed by the courage, humanity and extraordinary work of the Venezuelan people inside the country. They are searching for the missing, helping the injured, opening their homes, sharing what little they have and doing everything they can to protect and save one another.
For years, the Venezuelan regime has failed its people. But Venezuelans have always shown that we are greater than those who have failed us.
When institutions abandon people, our people find one another. We feed strangers. We shelter families. We comfort those who are grieving. We carry one another through fear, loss and uncertainty. Once again, Venezuelans are showing the world what it means to remain courageous, generous and deeply human in the most painful circumstances.
To everyone in Venezuela helping, searching, rescuing, comforting and refusing to give up: you are not forgotten, and you are not alone.
Many of us who live outside Venezuela carry a deep and complicated guilt. We have watched you remain there, fighting battle after battle for the country we all love. We have witnessed your sacrifices, your courage and your determination to keep going.
Now, as this tragedy brings even more pain, that guilt feels even heavier. It is difficult to express how much I love my people and how painful it feels to be far away when Venezuela needs so much.
But please know this: Venezuelans and friends of Venezuela around the world are mobilizing. People are organizing collections, raising funds and working to bring help to those who need it. Distance has never made us forget you. We carry Venezuela with us everywhere.
We will continue standing with our people and fighting for our country, always. Today, more than ever.

Build Canada Homes shouldn’t exist. Full stop. We don’t need another taxpayer-funded housing bureaucracy pretending it can outbuild the private sector. We need governments to get out of the way: cut red tape, fix approvals, reduce costs, and let builders build. More programs won’t solve housing. Removing the barriers just might. That’s where the focus belongs.

“Relief that I wasn’t going to have to play another 30 mins (laughs)….its a strange feeling. It’s not dissimilar to what fans were probably feeling. It’s a moment of magic..a moment you’ll never forget where you were.” #WorldCup

CBC refused to include a comment from Pierre Poilievre to balance their coverage of Carney’s press conference.
Pierre spoke and took questions for 56 minutes. (Video below)
The CBC included 0% of it.
The CBC is the state broadcaster and only exists because Canadians are forced to pay for it through their taxes.
The very least it can do is cover all sides of the issues.
Mark Carney knows how to show up when he wants to.
Question Period attendance: 26%.
Canadian World Cup match attendance: 67%.
When Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, crime, and a weakening economy, the Prime Minister should be in the House answering questions, not ducking accountability.
He asked Canadians to trust him.
Now he can’t even be bothered to show up.
As global demand for Israeli defense innovation continues to grow, investors are increasingly looking to Israel for the technologies shaping today's security challenges. 🚀🇮🇱
The Canadian dollar is in big trouble. This, combined with run away government spending, will make life very painful for regular Canadians. How can people not see that this is the direct result of complete policy failure by the Canadian government?
I know I shouldn’t keep commenting on this, but it really blows my mind.
$1.45M per unit for 2,200 units that would have already been on the market, and at likely sold at lower prices than we’re buying them, had we not intervened.
It’s a an absolutely wild trade off.
With $3.2B, we could be capitalizing 6,000+ new “affordable builds”. More if we fixed how our housing system works.
This would have added even more affordable supply, helping more people while leading to more affordable market for everyone in general.
Given the scale of the homelessness/addictions issues we’re seeing in urban centers across the country, it’s just an unbelievable prioritization of public money.
If I had that money for Ontario, I’d be dedicating it to housing and treating those suffering on our streets, and giving people of this province their urban centers back. And I think the vast majority of people would prefer this use of money over a developer bailout.
It really tells us that this decision was not about creating affordable housing… because it is doing the opposite.
