Gord Magill is posting live from the court room on the Lich/Barber sentencing.
Packed house here at Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa, waiting for Justice Heather Perkins-McVey to enter the courtroom.
I’ll be making a thread here, see how it goes, maybe Gonzo.
If you are the praying sort, they would be appreciated for Tamara and Chris, and Canada.

It was 55 years ago this month that Pierre Elliot Trudeau invoked martial law in Canada to deal with the kidnapping of Pierre Laporte. Laporte was later murdered by the terrorist group the FLQ. Several members of the FLQ got only 2 years for their part in the kiddnapping and murder, some got more, while others were flown to Cuba. They would have gotten much more prison time had they been charged with mischief instead of kidnapping and murder…

…pollster Frank Graves says he’s seeing the worst level of despair since he began polling in the 1990s and says the challenge for the government is to provide optimism, security, and prosperity.
Now if we can just get rid of the guy who launched this nonsense.
A global banking group that Prime Minister Mark Carney launched in 2021 to help fight climate change has voted to shut down.
As a result of the vote, the alliance is ending operations immediately.
Not to worry. I’m sure this thing will pay for itself.
Canada recorded a slightly higher C$7.79 billion ($5.59 billion) budget deficit for the first four months of the 2025/26 fiscal year as government expenditures grew faster than revenues, the finance ministry said on Friday.
By comparison, the deficit in the same period a year earlier had been C$7.30 billion, it said in a statement.

The gun confiscation plan is doomed that even the minister responsible knows it’ll fail. The PM has chosen to proceed, anyway. To please Quebec.

Youtube: Audio recordings of the Public Safety Minister talking about the “buyback” confiscation program:
▶️ launches Tuesday with pilot project in Cape Breton
▶️ money pot “capped” at $742M, after it’s exhausted you get nothing
▶️ admits if he had to start over they’d scrap it but it was a campaign promise
▶️ blames pressure from Quebec (electorate, caucus, Provost?)
▶️ implies it won’t be enforced?
▶️ admits gun owners will not get fair compensation
▶️ offers to pay constituent the difference lol
▶️ offers to pay bail for constituent if he practises non compliance and gets arrested

National Post- Carney invites the Supreme Court to rewrite the Constitution — at democracy’s peril
The Charter’s notwithstanding clause exists to keep judges from usurping elected legislators. The feds want to take that away
National Post- Ottawa and the provinces prepare to battle in constitutional combat over notwithstanding clause
With a short, 20-odd page Supreme Court submission on Wednesday, the federal government struck a match and threw it onto a pile of Constitutional gasoline that was growing for years and primed to blow.
In Ottawa they call it “arm’s-length.” Out in the real world, people call it duck-and-cover. At Meeting No. 6 of the House of Commons transport committee, MPs confronted a simple, damning timeline: Transport Canada’s top non-partisan official was warned six weeks before the public announcement that BC Ferries would award a four-ship contract to a Chinese state-owned yard. Yet the former transport minister, Chrystia Freeland, told Parliament she was “shocked.” Those two facts do not coexist in nature. One is true, or the other is.
There’s an even bigger betrayal hiding in plain sight. In the last election, this Liberal government campaigned on a Canada-first message—jobs here, supply chains here, steel here. And then, when it actually mattered, they watched a billion-dollar ferry order sail to a PRC state yard with no Canadian-content requirement attached to the federal financing. So much for “Canada first.” Turns out it was “Canada… eventually,” after the press release.
Conservatives put the revelation on the record and asked the only question that matters in a democracy: what did the minister know and when did she know it? The documents they cite don’t suggest confusion; they suggest choreography—ministerial staff emailing the Prime Minister’s Office on how to manage the announcement rather than stop the deal that offshored Canadian work to a Chinese state firm.
Follow the money and it gets worse. A federal Crown lender—the Canada Infrastructure Bank—underwrote $1 billion for BC Ferries and attached no Canadian-content requirement to the financing. In plain English: taxpayers took the risk, Beijing got the jobs. The paper trail presented to MPs is smothered in black ink—hundreds of pages of redactions—with one stray breadcrumb: a partially visible BC Hydro analysis suggesting roughly half a billion dollars in B.C. terminal upgrades to make the “green” ferry plan work. You’re not supposed to see that. You almost didn’t.
Dan Knight- Interest Rates Lowered Amid Weak Economy
With no budget and no plan, the Liberals turn again to cheap credit; the same trick that fueled inflation in the first place.
In a submission to the Supreme Court, the federal government is asking the court to neuter part of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The case before the court is a challenge to Quebec’s Bill 21, the law on secularism in the province.
The province has of course used the notwithstanding clause for the bill as they have done several times over the decades with other laws. The notwithstanding clause is also known as section 33 of the Charter, it was a key of the package that got the Charter and the constitutional changes of 1982 passed.
Now, the federal government under Mark Carney is going to ask the courts to limit, in some ways remove this power from elected legislatures while reserving this power for judges.
“The constitutional limits of the s. 33 power preclude it from being used to distort or annihilate the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Charter, or to reduce them to des peaux de chagrin, that is, to shrivel them beyond recognition, if not transform them into mere legal fictions,” reads the submission.
Section 1 of the Charter allows judges to override Charter rights with no checks and balances, no recourse for citizens. Section 33 allows legislatures to override rights in a limited way and the citizens can vote out governments that they find abusive.
None of the people you will hear from on this issue ,who support the Carney government’s move, will ever ask that judges have their ability to override rights curtailed in anyway.
Expect several provinces, if not all, to oppose this attempt to change the Charter via judicial decree.

@HansMahncke – This is just incredible when you recall that only a few years ago Donald Trump was a a canceled man, banned from TV, erased from social media, his videos scrubbed, and his name forbidden in polite society. And now here he is being honored at a state banquet in Windsor Castle.
Taxpayers have been billed almost $500 million just to run the Trudeau government’s Canada Dental Care Plan, with most of the money going to administration instead of patients.
Cabinet admitted in a Commons filing that as of March 31, 2025, the program’s overhead costs totaled $472.9 million, including payments to third-party administrators.
Blacklock’s Reporter said the disclosure came only after Conservative MP Dan Mazier (Riding Mountain, Man.) pressed for answers on what the program has actually cost since its inception.
BREAKING NEWS: Another Liberal Scandal
Chrystia Freeland stood in Parliament dismissing any federal role in BC Ferries’ $1-billion deal with a Chinese state-owned shipyard.
But leaked e-mails show the truth:
1. The Canada Infrastructure Bank (a federal Crown corporation) quietly financed the purchase.
2. Liberal staff scrambled behind the scenes to manage the optics instead of protecting Canadian jobs and security.
3. Even Liberal ministers admitted they were “dismayed” but still went along with it.
