Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has survived a second non-confidence motion in parliament in as many weeks. The motion, brought by the opposition Conservatives, was aimed at bringing down his minority Liberal government and triggering a federal election.

Poilievre tabled this second non-confidence motion the day after his last one failed. This motion accused the government of failing Canadians on affordable housing, the cost of living, and crime - key issues that the Conservatives have been...

Speaker Greg Fergus kicked Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre out of question period Tuesday after a particularly nasty exchange with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Poilievre's day-long removal from the House of Commons came after he called Trudeau a "wacko" for supporting B.C.'s past policy of decriminalizing some hard drugs in an attempt to reduce the number of overdose-related deaths. Poilievre said it was a "wacko policy" backed by "this wacko prime minister." Fergus asked him to withdraw the "unparliamentary language." Poilievre refused, saying only that he agreed to replace "wacko" with "extremist" or "radical." Poilievre's refusal prompted Fergus to remove him....

The headline in Sunday’s Ottawa Citizen was strange: “‘The ordeal’ is not over for Hassan Diab after French court sentences him to life in prison.” Clearly, the Citizen’s sympathy is with Diab, despite the fact that he must have been convicted of something extremely serious to warrant being given life in prison. And the Citizen is not alone.Hassan Diab is a darling of the Leftist political and media establishment, despite the fact that the crime he was convicted of committing was the bombing of the Rue Copernic synagogue in Paris during Shabbat services on Oct. 3, 1980. Four people were...

From the White House to 10 Downing Street, political leaders live in some of the world's most iconic official residences. But in Canada, the fate of 24 Sussex Drive, home to the country's prime ministers for more than 70 years, is up in the air after it was allowed to fall into uninhabitable disrepair. The list of problems would turn away even the most ambitious buyer looking for a fixer-upper. The home that has welcomed the world's elite - from John F Kennedy to Princess Diana and Mikhail Gorbachev - now sits empty, a fire trap rife with asbestos, lead,...

VIDEOAs yet more proof that liberals live in a make-believe world of their own fantasies check out this Canadian Liberal MP who fantasizes about weapons in the trucks that lined the streets of Ottawa during the protests there last winter. Although he seems absolutely sure such weapons existed, he gets brutally fact checked by the interim police chief of Ottawa who very very reluctantly admitted that no weapons in those trucks were ever found. However, as you can see, finally getting that answer from that highly evasive police chief was like trying to painfully extract his tooth.

Canada’s federal government will likely drop its COVID-19 vaccine requirement for people entering Canada at the end of the month, a government source said on Tuesday.

LifeSiteNews reported on June 29 that Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have made the rare decision to waive cabinet confidentiality and “release the evidence it used to justify invoking the Emergencies Act to crush the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa earlier this year.”I believe this recent revelation will ultimately lead to Trudeau’s resignation. (snip)Like I said, he will never willingly enter into a battle he does not believe he can win – he is a coward. Therefore, he has two likely ways out.He will call another election and step down as party leader in the process, or he will simply step down...

Rates of tickets issued per 100,000 residents show that the city's Hasidic Jewish community faced severe curfew enforcement by Montreal police. For five months during Quebec's COVID curfew, Rebel News was out sounding the alarm about the targeted harassment from Montreal police towards the city's Hasidic Jewish population. Organizations that claim to stick up for Jews were silent. The only time the public heard from these so-called Jewish groups was when they decided to condemn Jews for calling a police officer a Nazi as he was harassing Hasidic Jews at a synagogue, targeting them for observing their religious obligations.
