Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa Contrary to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe's eulogy here, Lowell wasn't proud of Canada – he wrote an entire book about how it wasn't white enough for him
Front cover of Lowell Green's book "Mayday! Mayday! Curb immigration. Stop multiculturalism. Or it's the end of the Canada we know!"From the back-cover of the book:

"CAUTION: This book must be read with an open mind!

Lowell Green presents a powerful, persuasive, well-documented and incredibly well researched argument for a substantial reduction in Canada's yearly intake of immigrants and refugees, and an immediate halt to multiculturalism.

Lowell minces no words in demonstrating how immigration has changed from the early 1990s—when about four European immigrants arrived here for every non-European—until today, when about four non-European immigrants arrive for every one of European descent."

King Charles will be opening Canada's parliament later this month — the first time the English monarch has done so in 50 years. He'll be delivering PM Carney's first speech from the throne. It's a clear bit of symbolism as Canada tries to re-orient back towards Europe and way from America.
Imagine of the King and Queen. Says they will "undertake a royal visit to Canada from Monday 26th to Tuesday 27th May"

Though Carney repealed the carbon tax, it was a relentless disinformation campaign by conservatives that made the policy political kryptonite. If Poilievre had won, the dismantling of Canada's environmental protections would have been job one.

I'm more cynical about Doug Ford's outburst on unelected judges. Poilievre and his minions, like Jamil Jivani, are trying to paint Ford as a closet Liberal. Ford needed to burnish his con credentials without burning any bridges with the PM. So he put on a little performance to rebalance perception.

Judge Crawford, summing up his finding on due process: "If the Government detained Mr. Mahdawi as punishment for his speech, that purpose is not legitimate, regardless of any alleged First Amendment violation. Immigration detention cannot be motivated by a punitive purpose."
The same evidence that supports Mr. Mahdawi's First Amendment claim supports his Fifth Amendment claim. If the Government detained Mr. Mahdawi as punishment for his speech, that purpose is not legitimate, regardless of any alleged First Amendment violation. Immigration detention cannot be motivated by a punitive purpose. Nor can it be motivated by the desire to deter others from speaking. The court is satisfied that Mr. Mahdawi has raised important issues concerning potential constitutional violations and that these questions satisfy the Mapp requirement of substantial questions.
