"31 per cent of respondents who voted NDP in 2025 now intended to vote for Carney. Although, notably, this NDP exodus was cancelled out by a tide of disaffected Liberal voters heading in the other direction; 15 per cent of 2025 Liberal voters are now expressing an intention to vote NDP. This is predominantly why the NDP is back to polling at 12 per cent. Still catastrophic for a party that has spent much of the past 20 years polling at around 20 per cent."

"Prime Minister Mark Carney’s sustained surge in the polls is coming predominantly from former Conservative[ voters], according to new figures published by the Angus Reid Institute. According to a new poll published on Thursday, 13 per cent of respondents who voted Conservative in 2025 would now vote for a Carney-led Liberal party if given the chance."

Far-right AfD wins German state election with best-ever result
https://nationalpost.com/news/far-right-afd-wins-german-state-election-this-is-democracy"That has isolated it in Europe, even among far-right peers. France’s Marine Le Pen ended cooperation with the party in 2024 after an AfD lawmaker said in an interview that not every Nazi SS member should be considered a criminal. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whose Brothers of Italy has embraced transatlantic ties, has kept her distance given the AfD’s closeness to Russia."

Why are the #Habsburg jewels in #Québec?
"Zita chose Quebec City for three reasons. Of supreme importance to her and Karl was their Catholic faith, and she wanted a strong Catholic culture where she could easily attend daily Mass. Second, her children had already begun their education in French and, while her household was conversant in a half-dozen languages, she preferred them to continue in French. Third, there were some relatives in the area."

"[T]he danger in times like the moment we are living in right now where passions are high is to create a binary where unless you are blindly uncritical of the government you are disloyal. This is wrong, but conservatives must guard against the impulse to go further and sink into a national form of self-loathing that leads you to siding with a foreign president insulting and demeaning our country."

Parts of 1986 report on Nazis in Canada must be made public: judge
https://nationalpost.com/news/nazis-canada-report-declassifiedIt all seems mysterious to me: Did Canada allow Nazis to settle here after #WWII out of carelessness? Or was there some scheme, like favouring anti-Communists, regardless of what they did before 1945? And why is there still secrecy about the Deschênes Commission?

"When Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King reacted by immediately recalling Parliament, which was not due to sit for another months, and ask for its blessing before declaring war on Germany."
Carney's contemptuous jaunt to EU Parliament before Canada's
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/yuan-yi-zhu-carneys-contemptuous-jaunt-to-eu-parliament-before-canadasProf. Zhu is right. Prime Minister #MarkCarney's low regard for Parliament is a failing.

@evdelen Here's a recent article claiming Premier Ford vetoed the deal: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/john-ivison-doug-fords-veto-of-a-u-s-trade-deal-cannot-stand
I've read other articles saying that Mr. Ford went silent because he was privately telling #MarkCarney the deal wasn't good enough; I can look for them if you like.

"That is the opportunity for Duhaime. A party that can connect the desire to protect Quebec’s identity and way of life with frustration over taxation, government inefficiency and an increasingly intrusive state could appeal to voters who have never thought of themselves as conservatives at all."

Dolly Parton, the 'songteller,' had a heart as big as her fame

Diane Francis discusses measures Canada could take against US in response to the #TrumpTariffs . Nothing too original, but I'm surprised to see this from her.
-
"Trump is an easy target, a man who is little more than a cartoon villain. The tougher task for Ford is getting super-popular Carney to stand up for Ontario. Carney is being hailed as a hero for not giving the Americans everything they want, but the deal he was reportedly prepared to accept would have been a serious blow to Canada’s largest province."

Adam Pankratz: The B.C. Conservatives are dissolving before our eyes

More of the view of the median US voter: "No doubt one day the Stars and Stripes really will fly everywhere under heaven, and beyond. Trump’s not really wrong, you see, just impolitely early."

The growing problem of settler violence in the West Bank
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/the-growing-problem-of-settler-violence-in-the-west-bank"That such prominent Israelis, whose commitment to Israel is beyond question, would condemn the Jewish violence in their midst is a sign that these settlers are not the true face of Israel. But they are one of the masks that the Netanyahu government is content to wear to preserve its electoral coalition."

[CPC] lose the plot with pitch for higher Old Age Security
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/sabrina-maddeaux-conservatives-lose-the-plot-with-pitch-for-higher-old-age-security"[Seniors] are currently, by far, Canada’s wealthiest demographic and also, by far, the federal budget’s single largest line item. Seniors benefits represent approximately one in five federal dollars spent each year, beating out spending on housing, national defense, and even health care."
Absolutely right. We should be cutting spending on OAS by means-testing, not increasing it.

From the unanimous Court of Appeal ruling on the Toronto bike lanes case: “But the temptation [for judges to comment on matters of policy] must be resisted. It is not just that courts have no expertise in policy making — no expertise in making the sorts of polycentric decisions that legislatures make routinely. It is illegitimate for courts to involve themselves in matters of legislative policy. Policy is for politics.”

Ontario Line should begin the the end of our infrastructure nightmare
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/chris-selley-ontario-line-should-be-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-canadas-infrastructure-surcharge-nightmare"Thirty-four billion Canadian dollars; $2.2 billion per kilometre. Three times more than projected, with more increases possible, we are warned, which is to say certain."
"London opened the Elizabeth Line in 2022, featuring 21 kilometres of new twin-bore tunnels [...] through 2,000-odd years of city history, for something like $1.7 billion per kilometre".

Quebec bill exempting legislators from swearing oath to the King to face constitutional challenge

If they can't, then the acts of the next government in #Québec may be illegitimate. We need the courts to decide, and quickly.

"While we may not always agree on Quebec’s constitutional future [...] [W]e’ve gone through one of the worst regressions in quality of life in Quebec’s recent history. Quebecers know it, and they see it in their daily lives. Their purchasing power has vanished, home ownership has become an increasingly distant dream for too many young people. Our health-care and education systems are struggling [...]"
I'm delighted to see #PSPP addressing Anglo-Quebeckers.

When I read the stories about Prof. Arday, my first thought is not about the sorry state of academia, or the victims of his lies — my first thought is that he must have the gift of the gab to a superhuman degree, charm oozing out of his every pore, a fascinating story to answer every question, the self-assurance of a demi-god. I expect that his students loved him.

"The owners of Nöam, a kosher restaurant in Montreal that was extensively damaged by fire in the early hours of Saturday morning, are urging the public not to jump to the conclusion that it was an act of antisemitism."
Jumping to conclusions that are later found to be incorrect results in loss of public confidence. The truth will out, eventually.
*Update:* The NP earlier published an article speculating that this arson had antisemitic motives.

Forcing religious neutrality on CAF chaplains robs troops of support
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/brian-dijkema-forcing-religious-neutrality-on-caf-chaplains-robs-troops-of-support"The federal government is once again presenting this change as a more inclusive measure while achieving the exact opposite. As my colleagues said in 2023, prayers across different faith lines are not interchangeable. A spiritual reflection that applies to all ultimately applies to none. Trying to appease everyone actually makes no one happy."

One of the #OttawaConvoy organisers has had his acquittal for intimidation overturned: "It wouldn’t do for your National Post to overlook the Court of Appeal’s firm and unanimous response, which includes dozens of quotes from past Canadian caselaw to the effect that, hey, you can’t do something illegal just because you’re a protester protesting."

The so-called “woke” narrative, much as the culture war, is the sound of one hand clapping (the right) without the hope of enlightenment.
