In case you’re not aware, a disastrous budget in Britain was recently announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves. Many reports suggest that it props up the welfare class by heavily taxing the working class.
Carl Benjamin and Dan Tubb discuss what has happened and what it might cause to happen at the next federal election.

On my list of things I wish were real, a growing economy in Canada is just above flying cars. But it’s just not in the cards…
Forecasters had predicted gross domestic product (GDP) would expand by a more modest 0.5 per cent. The momentum was driven by Canada’s strengthening trade balance, with a decrease in imports and an increase in exports during the quarter, Statistics Canada said on Friday. It was also driven by increased capital spending by governments, as business investment remained flat.
The trucking industry is always the first into and the first out of a recession and not even Mark Carney’s deficits can change that.
Blacklock’s- Feds Like $25K French Fines
Federally regulated transport employers must conduct business in French as well as English under threat of $25,000 fines, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault said yesterday. Penalties will be initially enforced on three corporations and major airports nationwide.
“People traveling in Canada should be able to receive services in French and English anywhere, anytime,” Guilbeault said in a statement. “These draft regulations reinforce the genuine equality between these two languages.”
The last time I checked, the NFU was down to a handful of members and were being led by “farmers” so far outside the mainstream that they hardly qualified as such. I don’t know what’s worse: that these clowns are demanding a form of UBI for farmers, or that a mainstream media outlet reports on it so uncritically.
Farmers want Ottawa to set up a 10-year pilot project that would ensure they receive an annual income of at least $50,000, a rate that would rise by inflation every year.
David Thompson, executive director of the union, says a guaranteed income would help stabilize farmers’ incomes, which are often unstable.
Now they’re channeling Zoran Mamdani and this nonsense gets breathlessly regurgitated by the same bunch of toadies.
One resolution calls for the union to lobby the federal government to introduce legislation that would put a cap on the profits of major grocery chains that control the lion’s share of the market.
Another resolution calls on union to create a national coalition pressing the federal government to purchase food directly from farmers to be sold at cost in a “network of national/provincial/municipal public grocery stores.”
What’s not to love about a sovereign wealth fund where others are forced to pony up the seed capital? It also helps to imagine that such a fund could not possibly make anything but the wisest investments.
Chief Joe Miskokomon said the fund would be a “critical step” forward in bolstering the economic capacity of First Nations.
“We’re not saying to take out the banks,” Miskokomon said in an interview.
“What we’re saying is the banks don’t need to have as much as a say as they do.”
Peter Menzies- Tens of thousands are dying on waiting lists following decades of media reluctance to debate healthcare
Better thousands of us die prematurely, apparently, than risk a grownup conversation that could challenge our national mythology and lead us down the path to “European-style” healthcare.
Every single institution with the words "human rights" in the title has been captured by extremists and terror-sympathizers. There are no exceptions I'm aware of and in hindsight we should have seen this coming. https://t.co/Wvi9WRnEfQ

The Cobra Effect – When Incentives Go Wrong
About the liberalization of narcotic use is the way it forced international drug cartels to leave their old ways behind to find honest work.
Seven Canadians with alleged ties to former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, who is considered one of the world’s most dangerous fugitives with a major drug-trafficking network operating across the Americas, have been arrested and will be extradited to the U.S. in connection to former Canadian
Wedding, who competed for Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics, is already on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. U.S. officials say he is allegedly responsible for dozens of murders abroad.
The 44-year-old has been charged with overseeing the operations of a criminal enterprise – including by engaging in witness intimidation tactics such as murder – and enriching himself with the enterprise’s laundered drug proceeds.
U.S. officials allege Wedding issued ordered the killing of a witness in a 2024 federal narcotics case against Wedding. The witness was shot to death in restaurant in Medellin in January 2025.

If you pony up enough money to the paleolithic set, maybe your project can go ahead.
Jonathan Wilkinson, a B.C. Liberal MP and a former federal environment minister, said today that “a number of things” would need to happen before the tanker ban could change, including discussions with the B.C. government and coastal First Nations.
Scroll down to see the Financial Post point out the errors in Eby’s arguments.
As the saying goes, you’re entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts. Premier Eby’s objections to another Alberta pipeline are rooted in fallacies, not fact. The Carney government should recognize that and decide soon whether or not another pipeline to B.C. tidewater is “in the national interest” — which apparently is how you get a permit to build major projects in Canada these days.
WATCH: Canadian doctors leads a dance and rap performance at the COP30 climate summit to warn about the health impact of rising global emissions.
I’m suspicious about the impact of these measures for a few reasons: voluntary departures come with severance; government retirement plans often require funding out of general revenue so early retirement just means more losses to cover; many eliminated jobs are potential positions as opposed to actual ones, and the timeline is an entire decade.
He said the company will use “attrition first” to downsize from the roughly 62,000 people it employed at the end of last year.
The company expects to shed 16,000 employees through retirement or voluntary departures by 2030, with an additional 14,000 leaving by 2035.
White people strum banjos, have fun. Fretting ensues at University of Sheffield:
Obviously, activities that are chiefly indulged in by white people – in this case, folk singing – must be deemed suspect and found problematic with great urgency, and then probed for hidden wrongness. At taxpayer expense. And all this scholarly rigour ain’t cheap, you know…
Behind this mannered waffle is the weird implication that devotees of folk music are somehow, simply by existing, excluding racial minorities. Shooing them away. Though, as so often, details on this point are neither obvious nor forthcoming.
Still, perhaps we can look forward to an academic interrogation of classic car shows in Nottinghamshire as some heinous bastion of “white-centricity.” Another item on the list of Things That Must Be Decolonised And Morally Corrected.
“Our aim,” say our tearful academics, “is to break down the barriers for people to get involved in folk music. Opening up the genre to different audiences.”
Different audiences. Not the audience that folk music actually has, mind, the one it attracts and which is arrived at via choice and musical inclination. And again, no actual barriers to participation are specified. But the audience is nonetheless all wrong, apparently.
That’s 600 billion, with a ‘B’. How much of the melt-up was driven by leverage, and who’s left holding the bag for those loans?
After topping $126,000 in October, Bitcoin has fallen sharply, briefly wiping out its 2025 gains before stabilizing on Monday.
With gold and stocks near all-time highs, Bitcoin is the “tip of the risk-assets iceberg and melting,” said Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. “I expect Bitcoin and most cryptos to keep falling.”

Or, The Difficulties of Satisfying Progressive Women:
It occurs to me that there’s something a little dissonant about the framing of affection and basic consideration – say, remembering your partner’s birthday – as “unpaid.” As “emotional labour.” As if being in a relationship or having any concern for those you supposedly care about were some onerous, crushing chore. As if you should be applauded – and financially compensated – for the thirty-second task of adding a birthday to the calendar on your phone.
The attitude implied by the above would, I think, explain many failures on the progressive partner-finding front and the consequent “stepping away from dating altogether.” Though possibly not in ways the author intended.
As if the concept of wanting to care, to help, to remember those birthdays, were somehow alien or offensive.
