At his request, I met with Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney today. We had a very frank discussion in which I made it clear that Albertans will no longer tolerate the way we've been treated by the federal Liberals over the past 10 years. I provided a specific list of demands the next Prime Minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis. This includes:....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States, according to a Federal Register notice on Friday, the latest expansion of his crackdown on immigration. It will be effective April 24. The move cuts short a two-year "parole" granted to the migrants under former President Joe Biden that allowed them to enter the country by air if they had U.S. sponsors. Trump, a Republican, took steps to ramp up immigration enforcement after taking office, including a push to deport record numbers of migrants in the...

Fair proceedings free from any suggestion of impartiality are essential to the integrity ofour country’s judiciary and the need to curtail ongoing improper encroachments of President Trump’s Executive Power playing out across the country. In this case, reasonable observers may well view this Court as insufficiently impartial to adjudicate the meritless challenges to President Trump’s efforts to implement the agenda that the American people elected him to carry out. In fact, this Court has repeatedly demonstrated partiality against and animus towards the President. Examples include this Court enabling the improper efforts of disgraced former prosecutor Jack Smith despite a readily...

A Startling AdmissionThe study was meant to debunk "Russian disinformation" by testing how the Ukrainian public perceives certain claims, including the presence of Nazi ideology in Ukraine. But instead of proving such claims to be "false," the survey found that a significant portion of the Ukrainian population itself believes that Nazism is a real and widespread issue in their country.A recent study conducted by VoxUkraine, with support from the International Renaissance Foundation, sought to analyze the Ukrainian public's ability to identify "Russian propaganda narratives." However, in doing so, the survey inadvertently revealed a striking reality: 33% of Ukrainians in cities...

WASHINGTON — Former aides to Joe Biden and other Democratic flacks were aghast Friday following a report that the 46th president recently met with party bosses to offer to put himself back in the spotlight and boost the ailing party’s image and fundraising. Biden, 82, and wife Jill sat down with newly elected Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin last month to pitch themselves for a revamped campaigning effort, according to NBC News. Recent public polling shows Democrats’ support has cratered, with less than one-third of Americans approving of the party’s performance since President Trump returned to the White House...

A new bill requires parents to report themselves to their local school district, and parents who do not will be considered truant.. Homeschool parents would face fines, misdemeanor charges and even jail time if they do not report themselves to local public school officials, under a new proposal from Illinois Democrats. Parents also would be required to provide public school officials with a “portfolio” of their children’s work at any time, at any interval and frequency, until that portfolio meets the public school’s satisfaction. The bill, dubbed the “Homeschool Act,” requires parents to report themselves in writing to local school...

After making a show of deference to Donald Trump in the wake of deadly Los Angeles County wildfires earlier this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom appears to be back to challenging the federal government on climate change policies. Newsom announced Friday that his administration will launch satellite-mounted sensors to track emissions of methane, an odorless gas pollutant that is a major contribution to global warming, making good on a promise originally made by former Gov. Jerry Brown.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared Canada “the most European” nation outside the continent and has identified three foundational “peoples” for Canada — Indigenous, French and British. Carney chose to make his first trip as prime minister to Europe, seeking to strengthen ties with traditional allies, including France and the United Kingdom, amidst rising tensions between Canada and the United States. “I want to ensure that France and the whole of Europe works enthusiastically with Canada, the most European of non-European countries,” Carney said Monday. “Canada is a reliable, trustworthy and strong partner for France.” Carney met with French President...

Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s second term was an “existential crisis.” According to Hostin, Democrats need to stop playing by the rules. When asked about politicians skipping town halls, Hostin said, “It’s very un-American, and it’s cowardly. If you are just, you know, stepping in line the way Republicans generally do behind a candidate that is harming the economy, I mean, you need to listen to the people that put you in office. Instead of being so concerned about maintaining power, why not be more concerned with helping people? That’s the...

The Central and Northern Missouri chapter of Catholic Charities will end its resettlement program March 31. In an email to supporters, Executive Director Litz Main said the nonprofit had to end the program due to the lack of federal funding. …. Although the executive order was blocked by a federal judge in February, local resettlement programs still face a lack of federal funds. There is no indication when the program will resume, and the case is expected to face an appeal from the Trump administration.

Every passengers worst nightmare is a plane crash, especially in the final moments of a flight. At Toronto's Lester B Pearson airport, a CRJ crashed and flipped upside down during a routine landing. We have all been waiting for answers. Was the plane broken? Were the pilots at fault? Were there other external factors? The preliminary report finally sheds some light on some of these questions.

New parents in New Jersey are receiving shocking documents from a health network — and it is not the hospital bill. A form from Inspira Health went viral as it asks parents about their newborn’s sexual orientation and gender identity. Now, Republican New Jersey State Sen. Holly Schepisi is introducing legislation to exempt minors from these types of questions. Schepisi — also a mother of two — told Fox News Digital that when she first saw the form being circulated on social media, she was "skeptical" because of the "outrageous" and "nonsensical" nature of the forms. However, her staff were...

VIDEOA TDS Karen on a subway was triggered by the sight of a MAGA hat as you can see. Her rage knew no bounds to the extent that it led to YUUUUUUUGE belly flop Karma. What has to hurt worse now? The Karmatic Big Flop or the humiliating knowledge that her TDS antics and the hilarious final result will now be viewed by millions on the Web? No matter what TDS Karen does or where she goes her memory will be forever branded with her worldwide public humiliation caused by extreme TDS.

The Trump administration is evaluating plans for the Pentagon to take control of a buffer zone along a sprawling stretch of the southern border (the Roosevelt Reservation - the first sixty feet from Mexico, in California, Arizona and New Mexico) and empower active-duty U.S. troops to temporarily hold migrants who cross into the United States illegally... ...In effect, the move would turn the buffer zone into an expansive satellite military installation.

Columbia University is getting close to yielding to President Trump’s demands in negotiations to restore $400 million in federal funding, according to people close to the discussions. The Trump administration has extended Columbia’s deadline until Friday to agree to nine far-reaching demands. The government earlier this month canceled the grants and contracts over allegations of antisemitism on the New York City campus but gave the university a review period. The demands include banning masks, empowering campus police and putting the school’s department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies under “academic receivership,” which means it would no longer be...

The great recurring theme of the five-year anniversary — you know which one I mean — was about the way all the bad actors escaped punishment. All the lies, all the abuse, all the destructive behavior, and no one has paid for any of it. Emily Oster’s infamous call for a “pandemic amnesty” seems to have been completely unnecessary, since no accountability was ever on the table in the first place. Why? The New York Times recently went so far as to acknowledge that we were misled, us and the New York Times, equally: But all of this misses the...

Woke capitalism is alive and well. Don’t be fooled by American companies’ public statements suggesting they’re abandoning identity-based diversity, equity and inclusion policies in favor of merit and diversity of thought. I’m here to prove it: I’ve been canceled. Again. This time, bounced from a conference boasting a theme of “breaking down walls.” Five months ago, Peer 150, a networking group for top human resources executives, asked me to speak at one of its events. I was pleasantly surprised: I’m pretty well known at this point as being aggressively non-woke. In 2020, I was the only C-suite executive in a...
