His critics call him Prime Minister Zoolander after the vacuous male model in the movie of the same name. But Canada’s Justin Trudeau is someone much more sinister. That’s been obvious ever since the PM turned the federal government’s power on the COVID-mandate-protesting truckers of Canada’s Freedom Convoy in 2022, jailing them, seizing their rigs and even shutting down their bank accounts (“debanking,” as it’s known) — though that last came to a swift end when enough Canadians withdrew their money to threaten a bank run. We were told the truckers were “right-wing extremists,” probably racist and possibly agents for...

This must be something akin to diversity being our strength or something along these lines. I mean vibrancy in 2023 is something else, we’re vibing. To combat a growing issue of human feces in public areas, parks in Canada are starting to place human poo bags and signs in English, French, and Hindi reminding people to pick up after themselves. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/wag-bag-program-squamish-1.6964938 Why do they need to be in english and french? I can’t imagine english and french speakers are sh*tting in public that much. Whatever.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections. “I will say by the way I wish Trump was spending some of his money,” Cruz said. “Trump’s got $100 million and he’s spending almost none of it to support these candidates.” Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from “pro-Trump” candidates, while funneling money into races where “moderates” and Trump critics are running. “It would be nice if Trump would spend...

U.S. drivers are allowed across the border right now if they're headed to Alaska, but the Canadian Pandemic Act says they'd better not dawdle on the way up. John Pennington, from Walton, Kentucky, was recently arrested in Banff for violating Canada's Quarantine Act... Pennington was allowed through the border thanks to a loophole of sorts that lets Americans drive from the Lower 48 through Canada and into Alaska (and vice versa), as long as they drive straight through, i.e., they can't go looking at the majestic Banff mountains. Canada's rules give drivers "a reasonable period" to make the drive and...

Full Title: Canadian single father who 'canceled the babysitter when he discovered it was a 28-year-old man on the website' is sued for breaching his human rights A single Canadian father has been accused of violating his province’s human rights act by questioning a prospective babysitter about his gender and age, according to court documents. The father-of-two, identified only as ‘Todd F.’, is being investigated by the Alberta Human Rights Commission after a complaint was filed against him in 2017 by the babysitter, James Crynowski.

The Trudeau government will ban single-use plastics as early as 2021, CBC News has learned from a government source. Plastic straws, cotton swabs, drink stirrers, plates, cutlery and balloon sticks are just some of the single-use plastics that will be banned in Canada, according to the source. This is part of a larger strategy to tackle the plastic pollution problem that the government is expected to announce Monday.

The opening matchup of the 2019 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors made history last night, in more ways than one. Played before a sellout crowd in The 6, including one former Prime Minister and a very passionate Drake, Game 1 of this year’s championship series was the first to been played outside the U.S. and the first NBA Finals game to see a non-American team win. The Raptors’ 118-109 victory over the reigning champs showed that this battle for the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy isn’t going to be a walk for Steph Curry and...

As people around the globe celebrate the New Year, for me 2019 is beginning just the way 2018 did — with a threat against me. Leading up to 2018, the threats against me were quite blatant, leading last year to the arrest of two would-be assassins in India. Even in Toronto, a Muslim cab driver pointed his fist at me in pistol fashion saying, “I have a special gun for you,” as he sped away. Yet towards the end of 2018, a much more subtler death threat was addressed to me, this time by the head of Canada’s newest aspiring...

Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change is urging environmental activists to address the “gendered impacts” of climate change, especially its effects on women and girls. In a recent post on Twitter, Catherine McKenna, the 47-year-old Trudeau appointee from Canada’s Liberal Party, called on followers to “consider the gendered impacts of climate change on women, girls and children” while praising Canada’s leadership in training “women negotiators” in the fight against manmade global warming. Apparently, at least in the minister’s mind, the weather is now waging its own “war on women.”

It's interesting that every Halloween we have to hear from rabid race purists about how our toddlers will offend the sensibilities of minorities if they wear culturally insensitive costumes. These same people adore Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fawn over his every move. #TrudeauInIndia is trending on Twitter, showing the Trudeaus in crazy get-ups they think are an Indian custom, which apparently they are not. I don't know, I'm not Indian, but neither is he. Is anyone concerned about the "cultural appropriation" he appears to be engaging in? If my kid can't be Pocahontas without some pink-haired harridan pointing...

Despite what you may have heard or read, Donald Trump has never filed for bankruptcy. His companies have, four times, but Donald Trump never has.  The purpose of corporations is for investors to put a limited amount of capital at risk in exchange for the opportunity to earn money in any one of a myriad of legal ways. Investor use the corporate structure to ensure that if their bets go south, the most they can lose is the capital they invested in the first place. Corporate bankruptcy laws can give a company an opportunity to restructure its business in a...

After the Washington Times quickly disassociated from him "for saying a scandal may be true", Johnson seemed to still be a class act. He tweeted that he respected them and had enjoyed working with them. He did not understand though why they would do this via Twitter instead of a phone call or even an email. However, now there are attempts to smear and discredit him, claiming they have not had a relationship with him in over a year which he soon replied to providing proof of being paid just last month.

<p>When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, arrived at the White House this week for the first state dinner given for a Canadian in two decades, it was on a wave of international attention not accorded a Canadian politician in, well, maybe ever.</p>

People close to Cruz privately fear that a big loss in South Carolina to Donald Trump could signal more defeats to come in the so-called SEC states that are the lynchpin of Cruz's strategy 'If Trump gets 38 or 40 -- and Cruz is second with 22 or something like that -- it's going to be very ominous,' a pro-Cruz fundraiser

Adult film star Amy Lindsay, an actress featured in what became a controversial Ted Cruz presidential campaign ad, has serious disdain for the Clintons. In a new tell-all interview with the Daily Caller, Lindsay explained her sentiment and went after former President Bill Clinton for his history of sexual baggage, saying he "destroyed real lives." "Bill Clinton had real sex with real people, it destroyed real lives," she said, adding that what she did on camera was different, because she participated in consensual, simulated acts. But the fact that Hillary is even being considered a legitimate candidate for president is...

On Thursday, the battle became especially pitched between Cruz and Rubio, whose campaign cried foul over a Cruz campaign website that paints Rubio as a "Republican Obama" too willing to partner with Democrats. The website, TheRealRubioRecord.com, shows a photo of the Florida senator shaking hands with President Barack Obama that the Rubio campaign claims was digitally altered. On a conference call with reporters, U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, a Rubio supporter, said the photo is part of a "pattern of personal destruction" that also includes a fake Facebook page that claimed another Rubio backer, U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy of...

My best guess, based upon the issues that Scalia held near and dear to his heart, Scalia would have voted for Ted Cruz, or at least greatly supported him. Here are some reasons why...
