44 years ago today, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law. It laid the foundation for a stronger, more just Canada. It is up to us all to protect the values of freedom and equality enshrined in the Charter — to keep building a better Canada, for all.

In 2021, Canadian media and institutions basically hallucinated the discovery of 215 children’s bodies in a mass grave near a former Catholic residential school. The evidence: radar saw soil disturbances that could have been tree roots. A wave of church arsons ensued. People making the case for censorship often urge that destructive manias like this can be suppressed/soothed if we prevent people from communicating about them. And here was a perfect case: false information was being recklessly (or maliciously) amplified, leading to literal hate crimes. Shouldn’t the censors do something? But the mass-grave craze infected the censorship class, so opposition got targeted instead. At least one “disinformation” NGO categorized skepticism as “hate speech,” and Canada even saw efforts to criminalize so-called “denialism” (drawing an absurd comparison to the Holocaust). Good for the Globe and Mail to come clean.

More than 500 personnel of the State Emergency Service have been involved in dealing with the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attack on our cities and communities. The main strike was on Kyiv, where dozens of residential buildings and other purely civilian infrastructure were damaged again. Tragically, four people have been reported killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. At this moment, 38 people are in hospitals in the capital, and all of them are receiving the necessary care. In Dnipro, a search and rescue operation is ongoing at the site of a four-story apartment building. Part of the building was essentially demolished. Nine people were killed in this attack, including a child. Thirty-five people were injured in the city. The fate of six more people remains unknown. The search for them will continue for as long as necessary. The Russians also struck energy facilities in the Kharkiv region and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv. Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions also came under attack. In total, overnight Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types at our people – ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles. A large-scale attack and an absolutely clear statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these attacks will continue. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defense so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary. We are counting on the support of our partners and on effective responses to today’s attack. And I thank all Ukrainian men and women for not ignoring air raid alerts. Glory to Ukraine!

🇬🇧🇵🇸🇮🇱 Un cirujano británico que trabajó en Gaza relató. “Después de los bombardeos aéreos israelíes, llegaban los drones de las FDI… Apuntaban y disparaban deliberadamente a los heridos que yacían en el suelo. Incluso a niños. Los remataban en el sitio.” No contentos con masacrar desde el aire, los soldados israelíes usan drones para cazar y ejecutar a los sobrevivientes heridos. Una política sistemática de rematar civiles.Esto no es guerra. Esto es caza de seres humanos, asesinato a sangre fría de heridos y niños. El mundo entero debe escuchar este testimonio. No hay justificación posible. Testimonio estremecedor ante el Parlamento Británico

**Both, but domestic policies are the decisive factor.** Canada entered a technical recession (Q4 2025 Q1 2026 GDP contraction per StatCan). No other G7 country did, despite shared global pressures like US tariffs and Middle East shocks. Other G7 nations absorbed similar trade hits and maintained growth. Canada's weakness traces to years of weak business investment, carbon taxes, regulatory burdens, and per-capita stagnation that left the economy uniquely fragile. Global conditions exposed the vulnerabilities; domestic choices created them.

🇵🇸 La periodista palestina Abier Khatib lo dijo sin filtro. “Israel ha arrastrado a la humanidad hacia las profundidades más oscuras e inimaginables… un punto de no retorno.” No es solo una guerra. Es una degradación moral colectiva que estamos presenciando en tiempo real. Cuando el horror se normaliza, el silencio se vuelve complicidad. ¿Qué estamos dispuestos a aceptar como sociedad?

Geez, I'm getting a little sick of David Eby's constant whining, through the press. Whining about National Unity while calling Smith a separatist? Now I'm a centre left kinda gal from Toronto, but if he doesn't stop, I'll be rooting for BC Conservatives in the next election.
