The Carney government’s expanding power to identify Canadians online, access their data—and punish them

The Carney government’s expanding power to identify Canadians online, access their data—and punish them

The federal government is assembling more legal tools to identify who Canadians are online, track what they do there, and, in some cases, punish them for what they say than at any point in the country’s history.

That is the picture emerging from a cluster of bills advanced this spring, capped by Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, 2026, which the Liberals pushed through third reading June 18 after invoking a programming motion that curtailed committee study and shut down debate while amendments were forced through without debate—the motion barred any amendment not already submitted by a retroactive Monday deadline. The bill heads to the Senate when Parliament returns Sept. 21, but the manner of its passage has alarmed lawyers, civil liberties groups, technologists, and opposition MPs who say Parliament approved sweeping surveillance powers it never fully examined.

Anti-fur activists storm London Dior store in front of shocked families before being thrown out by heroic security guards

Anti-fur activists storm London Dior store in front of shocked families before being thrown out by heroic security guards

This is the moment anti-fur activists sparked chaos in a Dior store in London before being thrown out by a team of no-nonsense security guards.

Stunned shoppers watched on as blue-and-pink-haired protesters holding megaphones and signs marched into the luxury store inside Selfridges.

The group were protesting Dior’s use of fur and held placards that read ‘Fur is murder’ and ‘Fur kills’ as they charged through the Oxford Street store on Sunday.

Bronze or Gold

Bronze or Gold

Canada’s relatively fine performance to date in FIFA 2026 is a cultural anomaly. Historian Gerry Bowler, in an article for the Winnipeg Sun, deplores that our Olympic motto has always been “Go For The Bronze.” Perhaps our distinctly multicultural soccer team will give us something to cheer about as events proceed. Yet even in sports competition, aside from our national game, hockey, the results have almost inevitably been inferior. In most other respects, too, lowering the bar has become a Canadian institution.

Right-Wing Journalists Attacked During Anti-AfD Protests

Organisers of the left-wing radical alliance Widersetzen (‘Resist’) have refused to condemn attacks on right-wing journalists following large-scale demonstrations held during the Alternative für Deutschland’s (AfD) federal party congress in Erfurt.

More than 31,000 people took part in protests across the Thuringian capital on the weekend, which were organised to disrupt the AfD’s congress and block participants from attending.

HANNAFORD: Carney offered Canadians words — Trump offered Americans results

HANNAFORD: Carney offered Canadians words — Trump offered Americans results

Two national days of celebration, two different countries, two different leaders with two very different messages.

On Canada Day, Prime Minister Mark Carney offered a polished message of unity, courage, and conviction. He does this well. “We are strongest when we are united,” he told Canadians, praising diversity, kindness, and the national habit of building together.

Why they try communism

Why they try communism

Roger Kimball wrote, “Why socialism will fail,” a pretty nifty if overly intellectualized piece that encapsulates the common smug capitalist prediction of doom because “sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”

Hahaha, right?

Really? Well, Congress ran out of other people’s money in the 1980s. We have a national debt approaching $40 trillion—$40 million million. Maybe we’re the socialists but we just won’t admit it.

Defence expert says German submarine deal ‘unfortunate’ for Algoma Steel, Sault region

Defence expert says German submarine deal ‘unfortunate’ for Algoma Steel, Sault region

The bid for a major federal submarine contract that could have provided Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., with additional infrastructure and hundreds of new jobs was unsuccessful.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to announce this afternoon that German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) has won the right to build a multibillion-dollar fleet of 12 submarines for Canada’s defence.

Could Brookfield’s fingers be in this pie somewhere?

Vancouver Condo King’s Data: Sales at Generational Lows, Prices Falling — and a $3.2-Billion Rescue Designed To Halt the Correction Toward Affordability

Vancouver Condo King’s Data: Sales at Generational Lows, Prices Falling — and a $3.2-Billion Rescue Designed To Halt the Correction Toward Affordability

OTTAWA — Days before a parliamentary committee decides whether to investigate the Carney government’s multibillion-dollar Vancouver condo bailout, the market-intelligence unit of Bob Rennie, the Carney fundraiser at the center of the controversy, has published data suggesting Ottawa and Victoria would be catching a falling knife with public money — or, in the view of critics, halting a correction that would benefit generations of young homebuyers, before Vancouver’s market is allowed to approach standard measures of affordability.

The New Brownshirts?

The New Brownshirts?

In the 2015 film Look Who’s Back, Adolf Hitler, upon shooting himself, finds that he is not dead but transported 70 years into the future. As the Führer explores the new Germany, he becomes a popular sensation with everyone believing him to be a man trying to make a statement. When asked which of the current parties he would support, Hitler replies that it would be the Green Party, much to the audience’s amusement.

After a closely fought battle between Germany’s TKMS and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean to build the next generation of submarines for Canada, the federal government has selected a preferred bidder.

Ottawa has chosen TKMS, The Globe and Mail reported on Monday. Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to make the official announcement later in the day in Halifax.

The Real Reason the Palestinians Are Fighting to Save UNRWA

The Real Reason the Palestinians Are Fighting to Save UNRWA

The furious Palestinian reaction to the recent declaration by the so-called “Board of Peace” — that the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) “has no place in the new Gaza Strip” — has once again exposed a fundamental truth that many in the international community continue to ignore: for the Palestinians, UNRWA is not just a humanitarian agency. It is a political institution that keeps alive the dream of the so-called “right of return” — a demand that, by overwhelming Israel’s population of roughly 10 million with millions of supposed “refugees” — would effectively bring about the end of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

PBS Hosts Radical Prof Who Fled to Canada: Expelling Haitians Means Dawn of ‘Era of American Fascism’

Jason Stanley, left-wing professor and author of How Fascism Works, fled to Canada to escape President Trump, yet somehow feels compelled to appear on TV to bash his abandoned home. He made another appearance on PBS on Amanpour & Co just in time to mark America’s 250th anniversary, in order to declare his previous home is a Nazi state under Trump and Republican control.
