6 mistakenly released inmates still at large, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says | CBC News Six inmates who were mistakenly released from Ontario's jails remain at large, Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday.

And if one of them commits a crime while on the lam, I’m sure the CPC will blame the federal Liberals.

“Global News discovered through a freedom-of-information request that 157 inmates were improperly released from the province's jails between 2021 and September 2025.”

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

We asked Canada's premiers if they fly private. Here's what they said | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford has reversed course on the purchase of a $28.9-million private jet for his travel — a controversy that has raised questions about how often Canada's leaders fly on private ai...

Poor, poor Doug! Woe is he.

Canada’s chief negotiator predicts ‘some turbulence’ in USMCA talks Janice Charette repeated Carney’s caution that there may still be residual U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports at the end of the process

Ya think?

This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.

Not that Tulsi Gabbard isn’t utterly incompetent and a huge national security risk, but she would be the 4th high-level woman in the administration to be thrown out while even more incompetent male appointees appear to be untouchable.

Once again, if you believed the Conservatives, apparently Trump is rational and has been willing to negotiate but the problem is Carney.
This is risible. #QP

The Conservatives keep insisting Mexico is getting a deal while we’re not. #QP

Carney names broad team to advise on tense US-Canada trade talks Conservatives and former provincial premiers among those PM names to advisory committee on economic relations

"Howard Lutnick, called the current North American trade agreement – negotiated during Trump’s first term – a “bad deal” for Americans that may be allowed to “lapse” this summer."

The agreement does not automatically end, or "lapse", in 2026. It has a 16-year life span, scheduled to expire in 2036.

MPs approve Annette Ryan as next PBO in 164-153 vote Conservative, Bloc members cast ballots against the nomination

The CPC voted against the appointment because why?

Because they wanted the guy who used biased language in assessing the fiscal landscape in advance of Budget 2025—using words such as "stupefying", "shocking", and "unsustainable".

The PBO is supposed to be a non-partisan officer of parliament.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Not a President……a terrorist!

“I think if you just look at it more broadly, it suggests that there is very clearly an American-led attempt to normalize and amplify the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st state of the U.S. annexation. And the co-ordination effort is so obvious.”

Former Conservative leader explains why he joined Mark Carney’s trade advisory council Erin O'Toole said his decision was driven by his desire to bring his business and defence sector expertise to discussions on Canada's economic relationship with the United States.

“O’Toole gave his successor Pierre Poilievre a heads-up last week he would join Mark Carney’s Canada-U.S. trade advisory council because, he told the Star, he agrees with a lot of Carney’s approach to the U.S., and he wanted no surprises.”

Every accusation is a confession.

Notice right after Trump accuses Powell of taking a cut of the proceeds from the federal building renovations, he started talking about his ballroom? One of the projects he is taking proceeds from.
Every accusation is a confession.

A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views Flagged as a "potential covert influence operation" in a new report, those behind the network are tough to trace.

Researchers have been watching this network of YouTube accounts for awhile--the accounts post regularly, push a consistent message and if one goes down, another pops up. They've now turned attention to Alberta separation, and US annexation.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Bob Rae: "If [Canada-US ties] are damaged, it's not Mr. Carney who's damaged them."

Bob Rae: "I wouldn't talk about Mark Carney and Howard Lutnick in the same sentence if I were you. Mr. Carney's tone was respectful. And it was intelligent. I'll let Howard Lutnick’s comments stand for themselves."
