🚨BREAKING: The Liberals just voted against Bill C-264, leaving their Liberal tanker ban in place and preventing the export of crude oil from Prince Rupert on B.C's north coast.
This shows that Prime Minister Mark Carney is not serious about making Canada an energy superpower.

🇧🇷🇺🇸 Four decoy cars, an Italian passport, a jet waiting across the Argentine border: how Flavio Bolsonaro slipped a Supreme Court travel ban and landed in Miami on a visa Trump signed off personally
The Wall Street Journal has the route.
Monday night his convoy left Brasília and split four ways while reporters chased the wrong cars; Tuesday his allies told the press he was already in Florida while he was still in Brazil, driving hundreds of miles to the triple frontier.
At 10:50 p.m. he crossed the bridge into Puerto Iguazú with his wife and daughters, Argentine airport police escorted him to a Gulfstream that Trump adviser Jason Miller had helped charter, Milei's top aide watched from the ground in contact with Eduardo Bolsonaro, and the plane lifted off at 12:21 a.m. with Flavio flying on his Italian passport, refueled in Ecuador, and landed at Opa-locka at 9:30, where officers shielded the family with umbrellas.
Trump approved the entry Tuesday, Rubio moved the visas, and the family came in on one-year humanitarian parole.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because María Corina Machado ran the same play ten months ago: a wig and a false identity through ten of Maduro’s checkpoints, a fishing boat to Curaçao with Navy F-18s circling the route, a private jet to Oslo, and a thank-you to Washington once she was safe.
Same machinery, same Trump circle, and the same kind of regime on the other end.
Maduro had a travel ban and a fugitive warning waiting for Machado; Lula has Moraes, a judge who jailed the father for 27 years, sentenced the brother in absentia, took the son’s passports the morning after he lost, and sits on a police dossier tying him to the very banker scandal he’s prosecuting... and that's not even the tip of the iceberg on this guy.
When a court like that orders you to stay home, leaving isn’t fleeing justice, it’s refusing to be the next Bolsonaro behind bars.
Trump says the family was “treated very unfairly” but he “won’t get involved.”
The plane says he already did, and that’s the right call.

‼️BREAKING: EU to Hit Canada with Carbon Tariffs
All is fair in love, war and trade!
In a stunning blow, the EU is imposing carbon border charges on Canadian steel, iron, and aluminum starting 2027.
-$2.8 billion in exports exposed — no exemption for Canada despite its own carbon price.
-Internal docs call it “effectively a carbon tariff.”
Quebec and Newfoundland hardest hit as Ottawa pushes EU trade diversification.
-Canadian producers face new compliance costs and higher prices on metals already slammed by U.S. tariffs.
-The EU is weaponizing climate policy into a direct trade hit on Canada.
The EU is applying its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to Canadian steel, iron and aluminum to stop “carbon leakage”.
Our new best friends dont even want our stuff! How brutal is this?

True
Lula packed Brazil’s Supreme Court with his own lawyer and justice minister and had them lock his rival up for 27 years.
Back in 2023, after taking power, he named Cristiano Zanin and Flávio Dino to the court. In 2025 both voted to convict Jair Bolsonaro of a coup plot and hand him the sentence.
That court had previously wiped Lula’s own corruption convictions in 2021 so he could run again.
On election day, Zanin ordered the polls kept open another 2 hours, 3 minutes before they were supposed to close. Both sides had asked, but the call came from Lula’s former defense lawyer.
Even after Bolsonaro was barred and jailed, Lula still trailed Flávio 45–47 in the first round and only scraped past him by under 4 points in the runoff.
Flávio still refuses to concede. Lula called the win a defeat for denialism and lies.
Two of the judges who put his rival away were the men he put on the court. Voters barely picked him. The court cleared the path.

Carney want Canadian taxpayers to pony up tens of billions for his Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank, the projected cost is 118 billion with Canada providing the biggest chunk spread over three years.
The Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank (DSRB) is a new, Canada-led multinational financial institution designed to provide low-cost, long-term financing for allied military, security, and resilience projects such as tampons in allies mens washrooms
Because Canada is the largest economy among the nine founding countries (following rejections from the UK Germany, France and Italy) its share of the upfront paid-in capital is expected to be significant.

I feel like crying when I see this Sikh, who runs a
really good restaurant, first being threatened by
Halal fans, and then finding the British police backing
the Halal fans instead of defending him
This should never be happening in our country
Vote Restore !
Have to go now, there's a knock at the door
Again, restaurant owner in London got arrested after being attacked by Pakistani goons who are backed by the Mayor of London. Remember him, he kept being abused by Muslims in London because he refused to serve halal food. London is ruled and run by Islam. This is what happens when you open your borders up to Muslim immigrants.

So you're telling me Flavio Bolsonaro went from winning the first round of the elections by a healthy margin, having 80-90% odds of winning the second round, to losing and having his passport confiscated
And you wanna convince me Brazil is a democracy?

Zelensky plainly admits that the Ukrainian military used Starlink for drone warfare, which is against its terms of services as a civilian platform. Anyone calling Elon Musk a liar is either a liar themselves or very blatantly obtuse.

In just 15 days, I found *two* separate instances in which a career criminal was sentenced for pimping out an Indigenous girl ... only to have his sentence reduced because he was black and "systemic racism" had made him do it. nationalpost.com/opinion/fir…
