Imagine being so close to a deal and then performing a stunt like this.
This is political grandstanding at its worst.
Politicians sure feel comfortable now a days telling people what they should be doing and how they should be feeling.
But I think the most worrying part is how many people listen to rhetoric like this and happily comply.

@brianlilley Two things which are speculation by him that may turn out to be completely wrong : “Trump is going to get slaughtered in the mid-terms, and tariffs will go.”In Washington a strongly held view is that the Dems are not going to do well and , secondly, tariffs are here to stay!

One of the most vicious antisemites in 🇨🇦 has been arrested on hate-related charges.
It has taken three years for @TorontoPolice and all levels of law enforcement to react. Why? Was the assessment of this case so complex? Or did someone in a senior political office decide that this is getting a little embarrassing…..what, with all the global attention and all.

@kinsellawarren Need to update this thing…

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

Well done, @IsraelinCanada

Aldo Di Felice is President of TLN Media, which puts together the Salsa festival. In his LinkedIn statement, he is very unhappy with Olivia Chow's administration and police brass. #topoli

CBC interrupted Pierre Poilievre’s press conference twice today

First interruption: legitimate live update on the earthquake in Venezuela. Fair enough

Second interruption: guest host Katie Nicholson drops a snarky remark, then Raffy Boudjukanian jumps in to CBCsplain how great Mark Carney is and how strong his polling numbers look

Raffy says Poilievre was doing "a lot of trying to paint the prime minister as someone who has failed to live up to those promises." What promises has he lived up to, Raffy?

Meanwhile, CBC carried Mark Carney’s full press conference completely uninterrupted

This isn’t an isolated mistake. It’s the same pattern we see constantly — cutting away from the Leader of the Opposition for dismissive comments (“last day of school energy,” anyone?) while giving others clean, uninterrupted airtime

Taxpayer-funded broadcaster. Real problem @brodiefenlon @CBCRaffy

Excellent news for Canada and Canada’s Army .

[LGen Michael Wright, CCA/CAC @Army_Comd_Armee]

When integrated with other modern capabilities—such as self-propelled artillery systems, sensors, and command and control—it will strengthen Canada’s ability to deter aggression, safeguard our sovereignty, and protect Canadians. (2/2)

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

I'm very sorry to hear it, @DahliaKurtz. When I was threatened in person whilst out walking with my son, the police refused to provide a line up to identity the perpetrator. They also said that I should call 911 if I were being attacked. In Canada, you cannot carry ANY protective weapons. You do not have the personal agency to defend your right to life. Your survival instinct is subcontracted to the state.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

Utter insanity.
And you are funding it.
Based on this and what they did to @FrancesWiddows1 there is an even greater reason to defund CBC.

[Unfiltered With Kels @unfilteredwkels]

I was called a “conspiracy theorist” in Parliament so I brought the receipts!

Yesterday in the BC Legislature the government was asked why the word Provincial is being quietly scrubbed from our park signs.

They called it a conspiracy theory and said they were just modernizing with a logo.

The truth is in their own manuals. I did the digging and here is what they aren’t telling you.

The official BC Writing Guide now labels the term British Columbians as exclusionary. Their new rule is to call yourselves people living in BC.

Internal BC Parks documents describe our park system as part of a colonial history.

By their logic Provincial is a colonial word that has to go.

Go to the BC Parks website and search for the word Provincial. You will get zero results. They are erasing the word before your very eyes.

I found the Renaming Checklist they are using to swap out park names. Removing Provincial from the sign is just step one.

They are spending $16,000 per sign to remove the name of our province while hiking camping fees by up to $25 per night to pay for it.

Don’t let them gaslight you. The theory is a fact and the receipts are right here. 🚩

Is this inclusion or an identity disappearance act? Let me know in the comments. 👇

'In what may mark a new milestone in the annals of race-based Canadian hiring, Newfoundland and Labrador’s only university currently has five academic job postings that are explicitly forbidden for straight white men'

Liberal DEI ideology on full display

[Dan Robertson @pdrobertson]

On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 800 (overwhelmingly “white heterosexual”) men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top.

68 answered roll call the next morning.

Now their male descendants can’t work at NL’s only university which was named in their honour.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

The sign said long haired hippy people need not apply...
Oh wait, it said white guys need not apply.

[Daily Mail @DailyMail]

Newfoundland's only university advertises five professor jobs that BAN straight white men from applying https://t.co/TArU8xeta0

[Rick Hillier @RickContact]

Fundamentally wrong. The MUN President, the Board of Regents or the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador needs to change it . This would mean that none of the men who sacrificed in WWI, represented in the name Memorial, should they be alive, would be allowed to apply !

[National Post @nationalpost]

'Five active job postings by Memorial University explicitly bar applications from heterosexual white men'

https://t.co/E5fGknlp8w

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

1% of the male population of Newfoundland was killed in the Great War.

Memorial University was given its name to be a living, permanent memorial to their sacrifice.

None of those men, or those who served with them, would now be eligible to teach at the university named in honour of their sacrifice.

DEI has gone too far for too long.

(BTW, I wonder if the same discriminatory hiring practices apply to janitorial, food services, and facility maintenance jobs. Or does the unjust treatment only apply to "elite" tenure track positions?)

[Brad Zubyk @Bzubyk]

Canadians have had the luxury of US security which has allowed us to call them vulgar, ignorant, violent and beneath us.

All the while they have built Microsoft, Apple, sent men to the moon, gave us Hollywood which gobbled up our talent, built the strongest military in history, built a society that attracted the best and brightest from around the world, spent more on alliances and aid than the world combined and created Silicon Valley, Ivy League schools and the best hospitals in the world.

This under different Presidents and parties.

While Canada debates a rail project that will never exist and bemoans what the Avro arrow could have been the US is sending a rocket to the moon and rescued an airman in a Hollywood style operation all in the same week.

Canada can't rest on Vimy ridge or Juno Beach any longer. We need to recapture what we once were. We can no longer afford our arrogance based on nothing tangible. Our superiority complex now comes off as insecurity and jealousy.

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

Two Synagogues shot up with high velocity weapons in Toronto last night.

Apart from some media coverage, silence. Much of Toronto's leadership can't even be bothered to condemn it. That's how commonplace antisemitic hate has become in Toronto and Canada in 2026.
