Danielle Smith says Bill 33 would ban Alberta public institutions from hiring based on "race, religious beliefs, gender or gender identity" and end "mandatory diversity, equity and inclusion training in provincial bodies."

Canada's anti-immigrant sentiment softening, according to new poll nationalpost.com/news/canada…

The Federal Liberals Want To Restart Full Blown Immigration SOON Which is the WORST possible outcome for Canada It's so ridiculously obvious that the only people who benefit from mass Immigration are Big Business & the Rich The Psyop begins, news items & "experts" commenting

This is who and what the recklessly inept Liberal bureaucracy is competing against - abusing Canadian tax dollars and moving Canada backwards economically and technologically. - already lost burning through $50 billion we could have spent on hospitals and schools but they wanted to bet against Tesla on EVs. Total failure. - now giving Telesat billions of taxpayer dollars to ‘compete’ with StarLink and SpaceX. Telesat is a US hedge fund company so badly managed for so long it has a negative price to earnings ratio. But it has a Liberal donor CEO Who hasn’t met a single timeline or target - ever - while Musk is making a car fly. We need to end this horrible - and deeply politicized - capital allocation and start partnering with the best firms in the world instead of creating fake govt funded imitations that burn taxpayers.

The rise in white nationalist activity and other hate-motivated behaviour is alarming. We need to take action to make sure Ottawa remains a safe and welcoming city for everyone. At the beginning of the next term of council, I will bring faith and community leaders together to find specific ways to stand up against hate, stop the recruiting of youth in schools, and ensure everyone is safe and feels safe in Ottawa. I’ll work with the Ottawa Police Service to double the resources in their Hate Crime Unit. There is no place for hatred and racism in our city, and there never will be. marksutcliffe.ca/media/2026/…

Ottawa's attempt to sidestep the Constitution has been defeated once again. For the second time, the courts have rejected the federal government's attempt to claim powers that belong to the provinces. This is a major victory for Canadian federalism and a powerful affirmation of the constitutional limits on government power.

We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US. With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → spacex.com/updates#starlink-…

James Burnham – The Trotskyist Who Saw How It Would End. He was a Trotskyist first. In the 1930s he was one of the leading Marxist intellectuals in America – building the movement, debating Trotsky himself by letter, believing in the revolution. But he was also an American. A practical mind, trained to look at what actually happens rather than what the theory promises. So he understood what it was really about – and explained to us how it would work out. 1. In 1940 he broke with Trotsky over one question: what was the Soviet Union? Trotsky said a workers’ state, temporarily deformed. Burnham looked at it and saw something else: a new ruling class. The workers owned nothing. The capitalists were gone. Someone else was in charge – the people who ran the machine. Trotsky spent much of his last year writing against him. Burnham was right. 2. In 1941 he generalized it in The Managerial Revolution. The future would belong neither to the capitalists nor to the workers, but to the managers – the administrators, technicians and bureaucrats who control things without owning them. Capitalism would fall, he wrote – but not to the working class. To the managers. The capitalist, who risks his own fortune, would be replaced by the manager, who risks nothing, owns nothing and runs everything. That is the whole difference. The capitalist pays for his own mistakes. The manager’s mistakes are always paid by someone else – the shareholder, the taxpayer, the citizen. Burnham saw the same class rising in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany and New Deal America. Different flags, the same new masters. And he said what it meant: the end of capitalism and of freedom – even if the façade stayed standing. 3. Orwell read it, argued with it – and borrowed from it. The three superstates of 1984 come from Burnham. So does its ruling class, which owns everything collectively and nothing personally. 4. In 1943 came The Machiavellians. Burnham studied the realists – Machiavelli and his modern heirs, like Pareto – and drew the lesson idealists never want to hear: every society is run by an elite. The only question is whether there is more than one. Freedom does not come from the absence of elites. It comes from their competition – rival powers that check each other, a free press, an opposition that can actually win. A single elite with no rival is tyranny, whatever it calls itself. 5. Now look at what the long march actually produced. Not the rule of the workers. The rule of the managers – the administrators of the ministries, the regulators in Brussels, the HR departments, the editorial boards. The façade of capitalism still stands – but who actually rules? Corporate boards spending other people’s money on other people’s ideologies. Officials in Brussels. Directors of foundations and NGOs. No voter elected them. The revolution succeeded. Only the managers won it. Gramsci designed the march. Burnham told us who would be waiting at the end of it. A class that owns nothing, answers to no voter, pays for none of its mistakes, and runs almost everything. 6. In 1964 he wrote Suicide of the West. Its verdict: liberalism – the modern progressive kind, not the classical one – is "the ideology of Western suicide." It lets a civilization accept its own retreat and feel good about it. Every loss becomes a sign of progress. Sixty years later, it reads like a description of Brussels. 7. The ex-Trotskyist ended up a founding editor of National Review, and in 1983 Ronald Reagan gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. From Trotsky’s comrade to Reagan’s medal. He knew the left from the inside, and he had the American instinct to ask the only question that matters: not what the theory promises, but who ends up in charge. In 1941 his answer was the managers. It still is – unless a rival elite rises. For the first time in decades, one has: builders, not administrators. Burnham would have recognized the moment. Not a revolution – a rotation.

As a sports card collector, I owned some very high-end Ovechkin cards. I sold every single one of them because of his support for Putin. I did the exact same thing with my Gretzky cards after his support for Trump. For me, collecting isn’t just about value or greatness on the ice. If I lose respect for the person, I lose interest in owning their cards.

Industry Minister Melanie Joly has written to the President of Stelco, warning them that the up to 500 layoffs in Hamilton constitutes a breach of their 2024 agreement with the federal government to maintain unionized employment until 2029. She is giving the company five days to present a plan or potentially face “an application to the superior court for orders that may include directing compliance, divestiture, or monetary penalties” #cdnpoli
