CBC keeps coming to taxpayers with cap in hand, looking for more money. Why should we give it to them without clear steps to get their own house in order first. The cash doesn’t go to production or talent, it goes to the execs. Hard pass.
CBC hands out record-breaking raises to offset loss of executive bonuses Canada's national broadcaster paid $37.7 million in salary raises in 2024-25 to 6,295 employees — significantly more than previous years torontosun.com/news/national/…
.@jconricus is an absolute beast.
Jonathan Conricus SILENCES Bassem Yousef. “Why doesn’t your government, the Egyptian government, help Palestinians?”
Oh please. 🙄 Plenty of people are making the same point, including none other than Paul Champ. It’s an indictment of our justice system, not support for Lich/Barber.

Amal Clooney, Where’s your condemnation of the rape and slaughter of your own Druze people by Syrian Islamists? The Druze genocide is being filmed and posted online. Where’s your ICC warrant for Abu Muhammed Al Jolani? 🤔
The Supreme Court of Canada is planning to hold hearings across the country to educate Canadians on what it does. Maybe Parliament should hold a hearing at the Supreme Court to educate the Court on what it does.
By making it even harder to sentence the most violent of young offenders as adults, the SCC is giving gangs a greater incentive to recruit minors for dirty work. Almost like this is a policy issue that should be left to Parliament!
No words. Actually, many words, none of which I feel comfortable uttering in public.
A man convicted in the 2005 Boxing Day shooting of 15-year-old Jane Creba was granted full parole in January despite a parole board report that said he had a 76 per cent chance of reoffending. He is now facing a murder charge in Montreal. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/07/18/tor…
Western democracies, including Canada, that claim to be defenders of human rights and the rule of law, must call this is out for what is: textbook gaslighting by an authoritarian regime that jails its critics and silences the truth. #JimmyLai

Call me crazy but might I suggest that if you’re looking for privacy, you get a hotel room instead of attending a concert with tens of thousands of other people.
You couldn’t condemn Syrian regime for massacring the Druze, but wasted no opportunity in condemning Israel for actually trying to stop it. Your moral cowardice and bankruptcy, knows no depths.
I’ll never forget first meeting him when I arrived in the Senate. I sat in his office, across his desk from him, and I instantly liked him. For some reason, I’ve been speaking about him several times lately. Funny how that happens. 😞
I’m deeply saddened by the passing of former caucus colleague, The Honourable Kelvin Ogilvie. A brilliant mind in science and academia, his contributions were remarkable. He was a principled man and a great Canadian who served with integrity and purpose. But I’ll remember him…
Day 3 of trying to renew my passport online. The system resets at 7am. Less than 20 minutes later, they’ve supposedly already reached their limit for the day Hey @CitImmCanada @PassportCan let’s just admit that you don’t actually offer online renewal, right?
Exactly this. The fact that he had so much on the line and it wasn’t a deterrent? Heaven forbid the judge make that connection.
This judge has his head screwed on backwards. Just apply the law. If anything, a non-citizen whose presence is a privilege should be held to a *higher* standard. And a conviction of this kind should automatically cancel his PR anyway. Put him on the next plane home.
Trump's tariff tempest is creating the reverse of Mao's "Hundred Flowers" movement in erstwhile US allies. The panda-huggers are coming out to play, thinking they finally have an excuse to bash America and express their love of the Chinese Communist Party. Prediction: It's not…

So you're telling me a Canadian MP twice wrote letters in support of a suspected terrorist moving to Canada, which CBSA recommended against? And that that MP is now the Minister of Public Safety, responsible for CBSA? globalnews.ca/news/11287613/…
What just happened in Suwayda is not a battle. It's ethnic cleansing. Islamist militias kidnapped Druze civilians, humiliated their spiritual leaders, cut their beards and mustaches like the Nazis did to the Jews, and threw turbans on the ground like ISIS. And the world watched…
Just so we are clear, the portal for online passport renewal has only been open for 43 minutes and they’re saying they’re already at their capacity for the day. What is their capacity? 10? Again, this is for online renewal of a passport for a Canadian citizen. @CitImmCanada
