CHARLEBOIS: Carney’s nation-building vision forgot food

When Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his government’s first five “nation-building” projects this week, the focus was on scale and ambition. The LNG expansion in Kitimat, a small modular reactor at Darlington, the Contrecoeur container terminal in Montreal, and critical mineral developments in British Columbia and Saskatchewan demonstrate that Ottawa is ready to fast-track major projects that strengthen the country’s competitiveness. Energy, infrastructure, and mining are the building blocks of growth, and Carney is signalling he intends to put them at the centre of his economic strategy.

Toronto police arrest 10 at Christie Pits anti-immigration protest marred by the usual Astro-turfed suspects

Astro-Turfed antifa counter protester arrested

Toronto police arrest 10 people at Christie Pits during duelling rallies

Toronto police say they arrested six people at Christie Pits Park where a large anti-immigration rally and counter demonstration took place Saturday afternoon.

Police said one man was arrested for assault at an ongoing demonstration in the Bloor Street West and Christie Street area at around 12:40 p.m. in a social media post. In an update posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly after 3 p.m., Toronto Police Service said six people were arrested at the demonstration


The MSM version of today’s anti-immigration protest would have you believe that the pro-immigration counter rally was a spontaneous grass-roots assembly. It wasn’t & you can rest assured your tax dollars funded the so called counter protesters.

Check out Caryma Sa’d’s channel, she has more rally video and also provides excellent insight into the political connections of the astro-turfed protesters.

Why Is the Media Downplaying the Annunciation Shooter’s Motive?

Transgenderism and anti-Catholicism drove the recent killing in Minneapolis.

Last month in Minneapolis, Robin Westman, a 23-year-old man who had identified as a transgender woman, drove to the Annunciation Catholic Church with a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. He fired more than 100 rounds through the windows during the back-to-school Mass, leaving two children dead and nearly 20 people injured.

Poilievre demands ‘tearful apology’ from former liberal ministers over immigration

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians deserve a “tearful apology” from former Liberal immigration ministers for wrecking the immigration system and driving up pressure on housing, jobs and social services.

“Sean Fraser and Marc Miller, they should give a tearful apology,” Poilievre told reporters. “That’s the only thing they have left to do on the immigration file.”

The Authoritarian Quartet, China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran: A New World Order in the Making?

The spectacle that unfolded in Beijing recently was unlike any other military parade the world has seen. China, to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, staged its most elaborate display of military might, showcasing hypersonic missiles, advanced drones, cyberwarfare divisions, and an arsenal that left no doubt about its ambitions to be seen as a global military superpower.

Union demands Canada Post return to bargaining or it will ‘consider stronger actions’

The union representing Canada’s 55,000 postal workers says it wants Canada Post to return to the bargaining table and commit to a “fair, ratifiable” contract with its employees or the union will “consider stronger actions” to move labour negotiations along.

“We ask when will it end? When will Canada Post stop stalling, ignoring results of the votes and start bargaining?” Jan Simpson, Canada Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) national president, asked on Friday.

The Union is suicidal.

I have cued the above to the moment with Erika Kirk starts speaking. Please sit down and watch it. The courage of this woman is off the charts. Her message is an important one to hear. If you can get through the part at the end where she recounts their three year old daughter running up to her yesterday asking, “Where’s Daddy?” without weeping, you are a stronger person than I.

Sex offender charged in attack on Welland, Ont., toddler denied transfer to women’s jail

Ontario corrections officials have denied a request to transfer registered child sex offender Daniel Senecal to a women’s jail as the 25-year-old awaits a bail hearing in another case, this one involving an attack on a girl in Welland.

Senecal was released earlier this year after serving time for the sexual assault of a 12-year-old in the Niagara Region city. The latest charges involve a three-year-old over the Labour Day weekend. Niagara police said the girl was sexually assaulted after someone broke into the family home.

The Left Doesn’t Want You to Know the Truth About Charlie Kirk’s Killer

Tyler Robinson Proud Leftist & Murderer

Whenever a crime hits the national headlines, the left seems to leap straight to politicizing it. A mass shooting? Must be a white Christian nationalist. When Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman and was shot, the media literally called Zimmerman a “white Hispanic.” Why? Because the narrative demanded it. The left is always obsessed with the race, gender, religion, and ideology of both the victim and the perpetrator—and if the facts don’t fit their preferred narrative, the incident gets buried or twisted.

Carney says there’s been a ‘rupture.’ What’s he going to do about it this fall?

Even while Mark Carney has been accused of lowering his elbows in regards to American tariffs, he continues to frame the larger challenge facing this country in stark terms.

“What’s going on is not a transition,” Carney said last week in Mississauga, Ont., while announcing an array of measures for industries impacted by the American administration’s actions. “It’s a rupture. And its effect will be profound.”

He saw the arrival of a “new age of economic nationalism and mercantilism” and described the current moment as an “age of adversity.” He invoked major nation-building infrastructure projects of the past and the national mobilization that took place in Canada during and after the Second World War.

Donald Trump has said he is ready to impose sanctions on Moscow, but on the condition that all Nato allies agree to completely halt purchases of Russian oil and implement their own sanctions.

He also suggested members of the transatlantic alliance consider imposing tariffs of 50% to 100% on China for its purchases of Russian petroleum as a way to help end the war.

J.D. Tuccille: Charlie Kirk was a private citizen. His assassination puts us all in peril

Recent years have seen then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and members of Congress targeted for assassination, Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson murdered, and destructive attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners, among other politically motivated violence in the United States. But the killing of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk somehow seems more dangerous, because it is.

Poilievre says he worries for his family as political violence concerns grow in Canada, U.S.

Pierre Poilievre says he worries for his family as political violence concerns grow in the U.S. and Canada following the fatal shooting of an American right-wing activist — and the Conservative leader believes all of Canada’s top politicians should have protection.

“We have had very serious threats to the point where the RCMP decided that it merited protection for my family and I for a prolonged period of time,” Poilievre said in a sit-down interview with CBC’s The House.

“I think all the political leaders and ministers who face real threats, according to the RCMP’s assessment, they should have protection so that something like this does not happen on our turf.”
