The day Elon Musk told X advertisers to "go fck yourselves" he was worth $220 billion Today he's worth $1.1 trillion

The most overrated band of all time?

*** BC Conservative Leadership 2026 - Results, Transfers and Model Review *** ~ Images provided ~ Kerry-Lynne Findlay won the BC Conservative Party leadership on May 30, 2026, defeating Caroline Elliott 51% to 49% in the fourth and final round under the party's 93-riding weighted point system. The majority threshold was 4,605.5 points from a total of 9,211 points available. Findlay's winning margin was 182.02 points, with an estimated vote margin of approximately 455 to 510 votes (illustrative only, pending official per-riding data) from an estimated 25,000 to 25,500 valid ballots cast. 26,249 members successfully completed identity verification and received voting credentials. 336 ballots were disqualified. Round 1 produced the following first-choice standings: Findlay 30.5% (2,806.42 pts), Elliott 25.8% (2,374.14 pts), Black 20.3% (1,865.82 pts), Fulmer 13.0% (1,193.27 pts), Milobar 10.5% (971.34 pts). Milobar was eliminated. Round 2 redistributed Milobar's 971.34 points. Black received 47.6% (462.39 pts), Elliott 27.2% (264.60 pts), Findlay 16.0% (155.11 pts), and Fulmer 9.2% (89.25 pts). Ballot exhaustion was approximately zero. Standings after Round 2: Findlay 32.2% (2,961.53 pts), Elliott 28.6% (2,638.74 pts), Black 25.3% (2,328.21 pts), Fulmer 13.9% (1,282.52 pts). Fulmer was eliminated. Round 3 redistributed Fulmer's 1,282.52 points. Findlay received 46.7% (598.25 pts), Black 34.3% (439.30 pts), and Elliott 19.1% (244.97 pts). Ballot exhaustion was approximately zero. Standings after Round 3: Findlay 38.6% (3,559.78 pts), Elliott 31.3% (2,883.71 pts), Black 30.0% (2,767.51 pts). Black was eliminated. Round 4 redistributed Black's 2,767.51 points. Elliott received 58.9% (1,630.78 pts) and Findlay 41.1% (1,136.73 pts). Ballot exhaustion was approximately zero. Final standings: Findlay 51% (4,696.51 pts), Elliott 49% (4,514.49 pts). Model review. A pre-vote IRV wild card model using the Milobar-eliminated-first scenario correctly identified the elimination order across all four rounds and correctly called Findlay as the winner. Round standing percentages were accurate throughout, with Elliott R2 off by 0.4 points, Black R2 off by 1.3 points, Findlay R3 off by 2.6 points, and Elliott R3 off by 1.3 points. The model's two primary departures from actual results were the Fulmer-to-Findlay transfer concentration, predicted at approximately 70% versus actual 46.7%, and ballot exhaustion, predicted at 19 to 43% across rounds versus approximately 0% actual. The model offered two Round 4 scenarios: 4A projected an approximately 15-point Findlay win assuming Black transfers leaned toward Findlay, and 4B projected approximately a 1-point Findlay win assuming Black transfers leaned toward Elliott per the Pallas poll. The actual Black transfer split of 58.9% to Elliott and 41.1% to Findlay aligned with the 4B direction, though near-zero exhaustion across all rounds produced a final margin of 2 points rather than the modelled outcomes under either scenario. Vote estimates are illustrative only, derived from the 25,000 to 25,500 estimated valid vote range applied proportionally to confirmed point totals.

Well after tonight's little stunt at the Canada 2020 conference with Obama and Soros in attendance I think Carney has finally crossed the line. The Monroe Doctrine and Logan Act will be put in effect by Trump and he is going to come down hard on Carney's attempt to overthrow the US. Trump could invade Canada and would be well within his International rights. The Monroe Doctrine is a cornerstone U.S. foreign policy established on December 2, 1823, by President James Monroe, declaring that the Western Hemisphere was off-limits to further European colonization and interference. It established separate spheres of influence, asserting that the Americas and Europe were distinct, and that any European intervention in the Americas would be seen as a threat to U.S. safety The Logan Act (1799) is a US federal law that prohibits unauthorized private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments that are in a dispute with the United States. It aims to prevent individuals from undermining the government's position

Unbelievable new RBC report: Between 2015-2024, more than $1 trillion in investment exited Canada, making it the largest capital exodus in Canadian history. This is the record of the Liberal government under Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney.

Carney declares END TO 70% DEFENSE SPEND FLOWING TO US — crowd erupts in STANDING OVATION

Avi Lewis: "We have a very clear plan to cut grocery prices by 30-40% for Canadians at a cost to the federal government ... We'd subsidize it. It costs $350m to launch and $300m a year, which is one-half of 1% of the current defence budget."

Bernie Farber, founder of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, has been appointed to the federal government’s “online safety” advisory panel. The panel is stacked with academics and activists pushing for more censorship on digital platforms, focusing on “extremism” and “misinformation.”

There’s a lot of misinformation being shared on social media regarding our work with Indigenous Peoples. That misinformation has even made it’s way into the Legislature.

🚨BREAKING: Over 70,000 pro-Trump and pro Israel Iranian patriots just stormed a pro-IRGC rally in central London. The Islamists got chased OUT of the streets of London. The Islamists, the communists and the left wing ideologies are losing.

We must do everything possible to prevent a tragedy like the one that happened in Tumbler Ridge, from occurring again. This afternoon, Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka and I met with the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman. (1/2)
