“A new era begins today in Argentina”
In his first act, newly sworn President of Argentina, Javier Milei, signs an executive order reducing the Argentine government from 21 Departments to 9. A major reduction of bureaucracy and overhead. Impressive.
Milei’s inauguration speech.
I Want A New Country
The recent 30-hour marathon session in the House of Commons, a Conservative-led protest against the carbon tax, has been downplayed by the Liberals as mere formalities. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
This session was far from a mere formality. It was a vital demonstration of resistance against a government that’s running rampant with its spending and elitist policies. The Conservatives, under Pierre Poilievre, knew they were unlikely to stop any of these bills with the Bloc and NDP in lockstep with the Liberals. But that wasn’t the point. The point was to make the Liberals work for their decisions, to make them physically present in the House to face the consequences of their actions.
Let’s cut through the spin and face the stark reality of Justin Trudeau’s Canada. We’re witnessing a food inflation rate that’s estimated to be a staggering 32.7% from 2021 to 2024. Think about that – nearly one-third of your buying power has evaporated under this government. Every trip to the grocery store is now a financial struggle for the average Canadian. Your dollar just doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, and families across the nation are feeling the pinch.
The root of this economic hardship? Look no further than the Liberal government’s inflationary budgets and policies. Take the carbon tax, for instance. It’s not just an environmental measure; it’s a direct contributor to the rising cost of living that’s making life increasingly unaffordable for millions of Canadians.

Earthquake In Argentina
Argentina elected libertarian outsider Javier Milei as its new president on Sunday, rolling the dice on an outsider with radical views to fix an economy battered by triple-digit inflation, a looming recession and rising poverty.
Official results have not been released, but his rival, Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, conceded in a speech. His candidacy was hampered by the country’s worst economic crisis in two decades while he has been at the helm.
Milei is pledging economic shock therapy. His plans include shutting the central bank, ditching the peso, and slashing spending, potentially painful reforms that resonated with voters angry at the economic malaise, but sparked fears of austerity in others.[…]
Milei is also staunchly anti-abortion, favors looser gun laws and has called Argentine Pope Francis a socialist “son of a bitch”. He used to carry a chainsaw in a symbol of his planned cuts but shelved it in recent weeks to help boost his moderate image.

Rise Of The Deplorables
Populist right tops Swiss elections
The SVP’s election campaign focused on its favourite theme: the fight against “mass immigration” and the prospect of the Swiss population reaching 10 million.
Its “New normal?” social media adverts, spotlighting criminal cases perpetrated by foreigners, plunged into a world of bloodied knives, hooded criminals, fists, bruised faces and frightened women.
It also launched a war on “cancel culture” and what it calls “gender terror and woke madness”.
“The situation in Switzerland is serious: we have mass immigration, we have big problems with people seeking asylum. The security situation is no longer the same as before,” Thomas Aeschi, head of the SVP parliamentary group, told AFP.
“There are many people in Switzerland who fear the situation will get worse.”
The SVP — which is strongly anti-EU — fiercely defends Switzerland’s long-standing military neutrality and feels Bern pushed the principle too far by matching EU sanctions on Russia over its war in Ukraine.
Aeschi said the SVP “wants good relations with the European Union but what we don’t want is an agreement where Switzerland must do what the EU says”.
Enjoy!

Three links from the National Post to get you started: 12 to watch on Canada’s rapidly rising right; an op-ed from John Ivison, for whatever he’s worth and Chris Selley: Conservative policy conventions are where the media stock up on ammo.
If you’re at the convention, your observations and reactions are particularly welcomed.

The Honourable Member From Air India
Because you can’t raise a Rolex on one income.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is under fire on social media after a government asset review showed that his wife owns a rental property in Burnaby, British Columbia, that is earning income.
This comes as Singh blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for favouring “rich investors” in the housing market. […]
True North reached out to Singh’s office to ask how much his wife was charging for rent and how many people lived on the property but did not receive a response by the deadline given.
The Libranos: Man The Lifeboats
The odds are shortening on Trudeau calling a Fall election. Cabinet shuffle tomorrow, Ministers announcing they will not be running, Trudeau storming through the Liberal backyards of the nation.
I expect Trudeau will use his usual tactic of running against something. Last time it was the unvaccinated. This time my bet is that he’ll run against “Alberta and Big Oil”, “American Tech Giants” and the unCanadian protestors showing up to heckle him.
The Liberal war room will run what amounts to a 150 seat campaign. Metro Toronto, Ilse de Montreal, very select Lower Mainland seats. It won’t be running to gain a majority, rather the focus will be on maximizing the efficiency of its vote.
There will be a serious attempt to “monster” @PierrePoilievre as the heir to Harper and as Trucker and Trump adjacent. That won’t come directly from Lib-HQ, rather it will emerge from the various “activist” communities the Libs have cultivated.
Because his economy turning is not yet done.
Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC
For six months, Trudeau’s CBC lied about Danielle Smith. There is simply no other explanation, other than it was Trudeau interfering in Alberta’s provincial election.
And it almost worked…

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia
I just drove out of Lumsden, where they’re legalizing pedophilia. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.
I’m getting word that this document was shared with a grade 9 class in Lumsden Saskatchewan by a Regina Planned Parenthood. Can anyone confirm this?
If this is true, it’s horrifying!! Will post screenshot in comments.https://t.co/0qVDDDzeLH

Yes, it’s true.
