47: McMahon v. State of New York
Via Instapundit: “The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Education Department to fire half of its workforce on Monday, a move that advances President Donald Trump’s plans to dismantle the department. The high court’s decision in McMahon v. State of New York was issued 6-3 along ideological lines.”
Let Me Be The First To Welcome Our New Chinese Overlords
Globe and Mail- Let’s free ourselves of the U.S. and forge closer ties with China
To achieve economic sovereignty, Canada must break free from the made-in-Washington narrative that China is an unreliable trading partner bent on world domination. Instead, Canada must forge its own relationship with China – a relationship anchored in Canadian, not U.S., interests.
Elbows Up, Rates Down!
A recent addition to the news category of No Surprise There. Average Joe Voter would happily choose lower debt service costs and more free stuff from the government over unaffordable housing any day, since he cannot grasp the connection between those two phenomena in the first place.
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians (64 per cent) say they desperately need interest rates to fall, given the financial constraints they’re under. Over one-third (36 percent) report feeling anxious or stressed about their financial situation, while one-quarter say they’ve had to stall life plans (26 per cent) or are constantly putting out financial fires due to an endless stream of unexpected costs (24 per cent).

We already have a Soviet style government. I wonder if Comrade Chow attends their meetings in a funny costume.

Manitoba vs Alberta
Sun- Kinew stalls as Manitoba leans on federal cash and ignores untapped mineral wealth
Manitoba has that opportunity — and it’s buried in the ground.
Our province is home to some of the most valuable critical minerals in the world. Lithium, nickel, copper, cesium, and rare earth elements are all present in commercially viable quantities, especially in regions like Snow Lake, Lynn Lake, and the Thompson Nickel Belt. These are not just rocks in the ground. These are the building blocks of everything from electric vehicle batteries to wind turbines to advanced electronics. And the global demand for them is rising fast.
Great Success!
More than 750 people claimed asylum in the first six days of July, compared to 638 in all of May. That’s an average of 125 people per day. The CBSA tells CityNews Haitians are the nationality that have made the most asylum claims, as of July 6.

National Post- Carney to recuse himself from dealings with over 100 companies in sprawling government conflict screen
“That’s the largest scope I’ve ever heard of,” commented Ian Stedman, a government ethics specialist who previously worked for Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner.
“I think that they’re going to have to get creative to make administration of this screen efficient,” added Stedman, now an associate professor at York University.

HOW CAN YOU BE CANADA FIRST IF YOU HAVE ZERO SKIN IN THE GAME IN CANADA
Dan Knight- 103 Conflicts and Counting Unprecedented Ethics Web of Prime Minister Mark Carney
We’re told it’s all perfectly legal. We’re told Carney has “recused himself.” But what this disclosure actually shows is something much bigger: a government captured by finance, a prime minister with deep, ongoing entanglements in the very sectors his policies now enrich, and a climate agenda that’s beginning to look a whole lot like a money-printing operation for the global elite.
Has AI Been Overhyped?
Turns out that AI may not be the replacement to mankind that we’ve been told it is:
The buzz about AI coding tools is unrelenting. To listen to the reports, startups are launching with tiny engineering teams, non-programmers are “vibe-coding” entire apps, and the job market for entry-level programmers is crashing. But according to a METR experiment conducted in the spring of 2025, there’s at least one cohort that AI tools still aren’t serving.
METR performed a rigorous study (blog post, full paper) to measure the productivity gain provided by AI tools for experienced developers working on mature projects. The results are surprising everyone: a 19 percent decrease in productivity. Even the study participants themselves were surprised: they estimated that AI had increased their productivity by 20 percent. If you take away just one thing from this study, it should probably be this: when people report that AI has accelerated their work, they might be wrong!

Things You Won’t See On CBC
Sun- Cherry sets record straight on MacLean’s claim ‘Poppygate’ was TV exit strategy
The one thing Don Cherry learned this summer is his longtime television sidekick is no longer in the Coach’s Corner. And Ron MacLean hasn’t been since he abandoned on a Saturday night in 2019, leaving Grapes to take the full force of woke Canada while saving his own skin. But, still, the legendary former Boston Bruins coach was shocked with what he read on Friday.

Victims of Communism
While American Democrats and Canadian Liberals & NDP’ers haven’t yet reached the same degree of evil, their policies are clearly pointed in the same direction.
“Communism: A system of centralized political power in which a single party dictatorship abolishes private property and controls the means of production and the distribution of goods and services.
Under the pretense of a classless, egalitarian society, Communist regimes in practice rely on force, use brutality, and repress speech, religion, assembly, and all other rights and freedoms.”
