Ezra Levant is live blogging the second day of the sentencing hearing for Chris Barber and Tamara Lich.
Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa
@RealAndyLeeShow – You can import a hundred kilos of synthetic narcotic precursor chemicals as a Chinese scientist working under Xi Jinping’s Thousand Talents plan in Canada and still walk free, but god help you if you tell protestors to remain peacefully in place and to “Hold the line.”
Honk! Honk!
Ezra is live blogging the sentencing hearing of Tamara Lich & Chris Barber. Follow it on this thread: the prosecutors are seeking seven years in prison for Tamara, eight years for Chris (and the seizure of his truck). There is literally not a single precedent in Canadian legal history that justifies that. The prosecutors look rabid and unhinged, because they are.
Update: afternoon session thread
I'm outside courtroom 5 in the Ottawa courthouse. The judge is inside, hearing another matter. There are more than 50 people waiting at the door to go in for the sentencing hearing. As usual, the course of justice is slow and punitive. Which seems to be the whole point of it.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
Meet the Press.
MacFarlane and Todd were discussing the discipline doled out in recent days to multiple Secret Service agents over their response to the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The CBS reporter somehow found a way to make the trauma his own…
But Glenn Beck Is The Crazy One
Including (21 minutes in): Douglass Mackey, the man sentenced to 7 months in prison by the Biden administration for posting an election meme, joins to discuss his conviction being recently overturned. Mackey also details how he was targeted, the obscure law used against him, and how much money this political targeting cost him.
Canada Day
Peter Menzies- CTV, Global and others celebrate Canadians’ recovery from the trauma of realizing not everyone is a Liberal
It was a beautiful day. Little did I know that, this year, July 1 was actually all about taking back the Maple Leaf from the undesirables among us.

Safe from the clutches of those deplorable Conservatives, CBC are feeling their oats again.
$4.975 Million Settlement of Ashli Babbitt Wrongful Death
Judicial Watch announced a $4.975 million settlement today in the wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government filed on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Ashli Babbitt was the only January 6 homicide victim.
“This fair settlement is a historic and necessary step for justice for Ashli Babbitt’s family. Ashli should never have been killed, and this settlement destroys the evil, partisan narrative that justified her outrageous killing and protected her killer,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Judicial Watch’s team spent years investigating, litigating, and exposing the truth about Ashli’s homicide. And credit goes to the hundreds of thousands of Judicial Watch members who supported this cause! President Trump was an absolute rock in supporting Ashli’s family and advocating for justice!”

National Post- Carney’s Canada will devolve into feudalism
Carney’s election places power in the hands of the “ultimate Davos man,” a habitue and beneficiary of the elite financial and real estate. He is a reliable advocate for the kinds of strenuous climate, tax and regulatory policies undermining Canada’s middle class.

A basket of deplorables handmaidens.
Wow. Hillary Clinton just called Republican women "Handmaidens for the patriarchy."
Black people aren’t black if they don’t vote Democrat. Latinos are stupid. Whites are racist. Women are handmaidens. It never ends. 🙄

Toronto Star- Inside the 905 — the ridings that helped deny Mark Carney a majority
Canada’s political polarization is acutely visible in the Greater Toronto Area’s suburban and rural ring — a diverse and fast-growing area of roughly 4 million people that spans Durham to Halton and has long been seen as a crucial, vote-rich battleground and bellwether for which way the country is politically moving.

Western Canada Secession: Why Does the West stay in Canada?
Alberta exported over $161B worth of products to the US in 2024.
Alberta and Ontario had $15.5B in two way trade in 2022
Saskatchewan exported $29B worth of products and commodities to the US in 2023
No clear data available for Saskatchewan trade numbers with Ontario, but suffice to say trade with the US exceeds trade within Canada.
British Columbia has 19 border crossings with the United States, Alberta has 6, Saskatchewan has 12, and Manitoba has 16. There is just 1 narrow 2 lane road through 1,000 miles of wilderness connecting all of Western Canada with Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, yet the East rules the lives of Western Canada?
Ontario and Quebec won’t buy oil from Western Canada, preferring to buy from the US, or Saudi Arabia. Even Russian oil is preferred to Canadian oil.
Ottawa will not allow Western Canada to export LNG to other countries, forcing Europe to rely on Russian LNG.
The Liberal government won’t even fight the 100% tariff on Canadian canola.
The only thing Eastern Canada wants from the West are tax dollars which they give to provinces dealing with insolvency.
So why do we stay? What advantage is it to stay part of a government that hobbles us at every level? It’s time Western Canada breaks free from the Stockholm Syndrome that has held us back for over a century. I don’t know exactly what that will look like, but I do know it will be better than what we have now.
Special thanks to Quebec for paving the way forward.
“I’m getting really tired of rich, comfortable people telling me that the country’s problems are a lie…”

Oh, and by the way.
Cold Bedauernswerte Hands
Members and supporters of the right-leaning Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party are now facing mass gun license revocations. The reason? The German government has labeled the AfD a “right-wing extremist” group—a political designation that suddenly makes its members “unreliable” under the country’s gun laws. And just like that, firearms must be surrendered or destroyed.
The Obsolete Media
Peter Stockland- Canada’s media aristocracy remains puzzled by the refusal of the great unwashed to accept its majesty
British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge wrote long ago that there is nothing more pathetic than a ruling class on the run.
“Burn it all Down”
…a serial trade and human rights violator that with the help of decades of corrupt politicians from both parties polluted, price-dumped, and stole its way to a generation of American jobs and revenue, now owns so much of our debt that we must put up with its shit indefinitely. That’s the point of view of our own federal news agency. We have officially cucked ourselves past the point of no return.
Trump or no Trump, the international trade system needs to be blown to hell…
