Audit finds widespread irregularities in federal indigenous contracting program
A long-awaited federal audit has uncovered serious irregularities in a program meant to give contracting preference to indigenous-owned businesses, revealing that most companies claiming indigenous status were never properly verified.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the probe into Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty’s department found that two-thirds of suppliers who said they were indigenous could not prove it.

Here’s What Amused Ukrainians About Joe Biden…It’s Pretty Damning
In the words of Michael Scott, “well, well, well…how the turn tables.” The Ukrainians thought Joe Biden’s leadership skills were subpar and were rather amused about his family’s allegedly corrupt ties to the country, particularly his son’s board seat on Burisma, which was widely perceived as a pipeline for government access for a handsome fee. All of this was going to be included in a 2016 report compiled by the CIA. It was an embarrassing review of Biden’s supposed stellar foreign policy bona fides, so the then-vice president and his office moved to have it squashed.
Can Canada Survive Donald Trump?
On a Thursday evening in early September, King Street West was crowded with fans and industry types attending the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Just down the street from the red carpets, at an event space upstairs from a bar, a markedly wonkier assemblage had convened. The Canadian Club Toronto was sponsoring a Q&A discussion with Canada’s Commissioner of Competition, Matthew Boswell. Despite the entertainment alternatives on offer just down the block, the room was packed.
The Competition Bureau seeks to bolster Canada’s economy and root out anti-competitive practices. It issues reports about the state of national competitiveness and casts a cold eye on threats to consumer interests. Boswell, smart and engaging with a self-deprecating measure of Canada nice, had just opened the floor to questions. More than 47 minutes into the evening’s discussion, Vass Bednar, the head of a Canadian think tank, rose to ask about “the elephant in the room” that had gone tactfully unmentioned.

John Ivison: The sober truth about all those promises provinces made to lower trade barriers
It’s a mark of how strongly Ron Kubek feels about the political mismanagement of Canada’s wine industry that he took time out from bringing in this year’s grape harvest to vent.
The owner of the Lightning Rock winery in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley said that he can export his award-winning Pinot Noir into Washington State tariff free under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement.
But if he wants to access Ontario’s LCBO or Quebec’s SAQ liquor stores, he is obliged to pay markups of 71 per cent and 130 per cent respectively. Lightning Rock has been ranked in the top 25 wineries in the country, but it is a small (3,500-case), relatively high-cost producer, making delicious, jammy pinots.
WTF?

It’s Good v. Evil. It’s Always Been Good v. Evil.
Today is the two-year anniversary of the October 7, 2023 slaughter of Israeli innocents which brought on the current war over the Gaza Strip that President Trump is earnestly attempting to end through negotiation, as opposed to his Israeli counterpart Bibi Netanyahu’s attempts to end it by flattening every building left standing in Gaza City in an effort to annihilate what Hamas fighters remain there and to finally rescue what hostages remain.
From Bombs to Tweets: How Left-Wing Extremism Has Evolved Since the 1960s and the Threat It Poses
On a cold November morning in 1984, the calm of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, was shattered as federal agents stormed a rented storage facility. Inside, they found Susan Rosenberg, a 29-year-old activist tied to the May 19th Communist Organization, alongside a cache of over 700 pounds of explosives and weapons meant for a campaign of bombings against United States government targets.
Her arrest and subsequent conviction alongside that of accomplice Timothy Blunk — resulting in a 58-year prison sentence for each of them, the most severe ever for such a crime — made her an emblem of the militant left, a reminder that even after the turbulence of the Vietnam era, radical currents still ran deep beneath the surface of American life.
Carson Jerema: Abolish the teachers’ unions
As much as teachers’ unions like to claim their members are essential to society, the Alberta teachers strike that cancelled classes for 740,000 students on Monday shows that the exercise of raw political power matters more to them than educating students. How else do you explain their rejection of a deal that included a 12 per cent raise and the hiring of 3,000 more teachers?
Is There Any Hope for South Africa?
Located at the tip of southern Africa and at a strategic junction of trade routes, South Africa has regressed into an ideologically-driven socialist-communist abyss of poverty, crime, corruption and systemic dysfunction at all levels: local, state and national – all in 30 years since the end of Apartheid.
Once the leading economic power in all of Africa, South Africa is now regarded as the most corrupt country on the continent. It resembles a typical “banana republic” in some ways — little different from other failed or collapsing states in the region, particularly its northern neighbour of Zimbabwe — a Marxist dictatorial hellhole.
DAGRES: Ontario is the new corporate welfare king
For decades, Quebec wore the dubious crown of Canada’s “corporate welfare” king. La belle province poured billions of dollars into corporate handouts, all while maintaining one of the highest corporate tax rates in North America.
The results have been predictable: Mediocre growth and favoured businesses dependent on, and feeling increasingly entitled to, taxpayers’ forced generosity.
Far-left professor Eman Abdelhadi charged with violent felonies after Chicago ICE facility riots
A far-left University of Chicago professor has been arrested and charged with violent felonies following riots at an ICE facility in the city, law enforcement has said.
Eman Abdelhadi, an Associate Professor of the university’s Department of Comparative Human Development, was arrested on Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated battery to a government employee, a Class 3 felony; and two counts of resisting/obstruction peace, a Class A misdemeanor, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News.
Aren’t they all …
Reminder: Eman Abdelhadi was hired at @UChicago through a DEI-oriented postgraduate fellowship that fastracked her into a faculty position despite a thin publication record in a fundamentally unserious discipline. https://t.co/w5ZVW3jI3T

Deport them both … problem solved
‘Sleepless nights’: Migrant worker says immigration lawyer owes him $24K
With the hope of starting a new life in Canada alongside his wife and children, Dattaray Avhad paid a lawyer over $24,000 to help him find a job as a cook in Newfoundland and Labrador and obtain permanent residency.
But more than a year later, he is on a work permit for vulnerable workers and is picking up shifts as a cab driver, with no clear path toward permanent residency.
He’s still fighting to get his money back.
Canada needs more 3rd world cooks buying citizenship according to CBC.
