B.C.’s David Eby proposes draconian legislation to respond to Donald Trump
Globe and Mail- Premier Eby, please practise democracy
British Columbia’s NDP government tabled legislation last week that, if enacted as is, would give it sweeping powers to pass regulations without having to bother with the tedious obligation of asking for the blessing of the provincial legislature.
Sam Cooper- CSIS report says China infiltrated Provincial and Federal Party leadership races in 2022
Looking ahead to the impending federal election, there is evidence suggesting Pierre Poilievre was disfavored during the Conservatives’ 2022 leadership contest, owing to Beijing’s perception of him as hostile to Chinese interests. Meanwhile, Chinese media outlets have signaled Mark Carney was favored by Beijing’s networks in that recently concluded race, while Chrystia Freeland—Carney’s main opponent—was attacked on WeChat, a crucial vector of Chinese interference, according to The Bureau’s reporting yesterday.

Sylvain Charlebois- Farmers pay the price for Ottawa’s electric vehicle obsession
Betting billions on a speculative EV industry while leaving Canadian farmers and seafood harvesters to pay the price is proof that in this trade war, agriculture is just collateral damage
Last night, I got a close-up view of how deeply some Canadians hate Americans. It started with a B.C. woman sharing this video with me. I told her that I hadn’t been following the story closely, but had been observing the back & forth about it between a Vancouver friend and a San Francisco friend. The latter is very based and did a deep dive into the story. She feels there is something very suspect about how the news crews covering this story seemed to always be in the right place, at the right time.
I also shared these thoughts with this B.C woman:
I am fully aware of the anti-Trump, anti-Musk, anti-American sentiment in Canada these days. You’re free to think whatever you want, of course, but I can assure from the MANY Americans friends & acquaintances I have, on both sides of the political aisle, that a strong majority of them:
1. Support the deportation of criminals who are illegally in this country.
2. Support the cleanup of corruption in the federal government.
3. Are very tired of being the world’s policeman and seemingly funding every single other country … while so many Americans are homeless.
We are clearly going through a major historical change, one that is changing the world order from what was set in place in 1945, after WW2.
She then unleashed with a tirade about how much she hates America, hates Trump, and hates Americans generally:
So this young lady had exited the USA to re-enter to renew her temporary visa. Something that goes on in most countries, not sure how that works or worked in the USA, you are probably well versed in that than I but it all seems a little radical to react that way to her… all I know is I won’t be going south while that lunatic is in power… how dare he try to Annex Canada! We have always been there friendly neighbor… I am still in disbelief that he got back in… we just have to ride this out till he is gone…
The Canadian government is telling Canadians to not cross as they can’t guarantee how they will be treated. I know my snow bird friends all left Arizona for fear of what was coming down… people that would leave their RVs there year round pulled them out and brought them home… Arizona is already an openly gun toting state with their giant Trump flags… we were stunned when we were down there 2 years ago.
I just hope all those lovely people that you know in SF are ok because a lot are Latino and the Republican turd is definitely targeting the minority population…
There is a lot of government waste but it is usually very top heavy no joe blow worker…
I can speak from my own experience working for Island Health, it is very top heavy…
All I know is that here in Canada people are really pissed off and are opting out of all things American.
I thought about responding that someone who so deeply loathes everything about America, clearly should never, ever visit. But I’m tired of stating the obvious.
The fellows from the popular All-In Podcast interview the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent. It’s well worth a watch. You’ll feel better about the future, but realize that it’s going to take time to fix the mess left by Biden & Harris.

With all the ongoing talk about how Canada needs to bolster the security of the Arctic, maybe we could just try completing the last project that was supposed to do that.
The Nanisivik Naval Facility, Harper’s deep-sea port meant to support the AOPS, is still not finished. It has become the white elephant in Canada’s north.
Now a part-time, summer-only maritime gas station, the significantly stripped-back Nanisivik port project is mired in construction delays, cost overruns and serious questions about its long-term viability.
And now, Global News can reveal the construction company building the facility went into receivership a year ago — leaving the Department of National Defence to backtrack on its earlier plans for a long-awaited 2025 opening date.
Spectator- Britain has become a pioneer in Artificial Unintelligence
AU is the means by which people of perfectly adequate natural intelligence are transformed by policies, procedures and protocols into animate but inflexible cogs. They speak and behave, but do not think or decide. They are always only carrying out orders and stick to them through thick and thin.

Dan Knight- Mark Carney’s European Delegation Was a Total Disaster
No trade deal, no answers on his financial conflicts, no real plan on Trump’s tariffs—just more lies, gaslighting, and excuses.
National Post- Inside Canada’s shockingly violent hospitals
Who or what is to blame? There are many factors. An increasingly hostile and toxic world. A distressed, overcrowded and understaffed medical system that’s led to dangerous waits for care and boiling frustrations. Violent patient behaviours driven by drugs, psychosis and dementia. And inconsistent or inadequate security in hospitals, with no real accountability for the laxity.
We must worship Great Leader not ask him questions. Carney lashes out at journalists.
Conman Carney’s Canada: Islamophobia running rampant on Turtle Island. More help for Zelensky. Cancelling the carbon tax. The Hamilton police. Carney’s carbon tax. Revive old heroes. Carney’s daughter.
