In 1995 Quebec nearly separated. We could soon relive that nightmare The “No” side nearly lost the Quebec independence referendum of 1995 because many Quebeckers rejected the federal government’s austerity policies.

Élisa P. Serret of Radio-Canada blames the pernicious Jewish influence from Hollywood and U.S. big cities for the U.S.'s support of the aggressive and dangerous regime in Israel. Has she heard of Hannah Einbinder, or Bernie Sanders, or the many Jews who support Mandami in NYC?

Government's border security bill draws heavy criticism from civil rights groups Mark Carney's Liberal government is 'showing itself to be the most anti-privacy government in Canada that we've seen in decades,' says UOttawa professor Michael Geist.

So-called stronger borders act makes Harper’s C-51 look like child’s play. C-2 is sweeping attack on Canadian civil liberties. It is about government overreach and Big Brother tactics, plain. It is a violation of our privacy, and it will be challenged in court. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Trump admin anti-trans snitch site targeted Canadian doctors ⋆ The Breach Canadian jurisdictions were included on a U.S. ‘whistleblower’ form targetting trans care providers—and then were quietly removed after media enquiries

Trump’s team built a snitch site targeting Canadian doctors.

Not US doctors. Ours.

It asks people to report gender-affirming care. Every province was listed.

That's not some code fluke. It's a political threat to scare Canadian health workers into silence.

One of Mark Carney's first priorities should be depolarizing our politics and protecting us from foreign-funded disinformation and other deliberate attempts at division.

The best way to do that? Electoral reform. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/30/o...
