Parliamentary Budget Officer Annette Ryan released her economic and fiscal outlook for October this week, based on the spending of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government.
Heading into the feds’ Nov. 5 budget, it’s not pretty.
The general tone was summed up by the first sentence in her press release: “Federal spending, borrowing and debt continue to rise amid weaker economic growth” and it gets worse from there.
Western governments have put themselves in mortal danger.
They are actively doing things that are destroying their countries: (1) replacing their native citizens with unassimilable foreigners; (2) centralizing government power in unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies; (3) censoring and criminalizing public dissent; (4) offshoring industrial and manufacturing jobs; (5) exacerbating energy costs and general inflation by demonizing hydrocarbons and pushing “global warming” delusions; (6) increasing taxes, government spending, and public welfare in unsustainable ways; (7) demolishing their nations’ historical identities, traditions, beliefs, and common cultures; (8) providing foreigners with “free” homes, food, and educations, while accusing native citizens of being “racists,” “xenophobes,” and “white supremacists”; (9) discouraging healthy marriages and stable families; and (10) indoctrinating the youngest generations to believe that war, “climate change,” overpopulation, and economic collapse will prevent them from ever having happy, hopeful, purposeful futures.
I would not go to war under a Carney government that is certain.
The Canadian Centre for Cybersecurity says it is preparing an alert for organizations regarding vulnerabilities in a programming language powering many of the world’s websites.

France is ablaze and we could be next, say the gloomsters; and they may be right. Unrest seems to be spreading across Europe with riots in Milan, Albania, Spain and Portugal in recent weeks.
This may all be coincidental or a sign of a deeper political malaise that is expressing itself in violent behaviour. If the politicians won’t listen, the French protesters say, what choice do we have? It is also the reason given by masked men who have turned up at south-coast ports when asylum seekers arrive.
The Liberal Left:-
“The riots in France are nothing to do with Muslims or immigrants”

While suspects in the Toronto airport gold heist were under intense, around-the-clock police surveillance, one of them franticly made increasingly angry and desperate phone calls chasing down money, feeling cheated and abandoned by his friends, court heard.
“It’s already falling apart,” a caller identified in court as Parmpal Sidhu said over the phone nine months after more than $22.5 million in gold bars and cash was stolen after arriving at Pearson airport on a flight from Switzerland.
A civil servant accused of pocketing wages from five full-time government jobs has said he failed to disclose his multiple roles because he was suffering from stress.

OTTAWA — The money was scammed from Canadian victims. The Romanian theft-gang operative sent to collect it, an Ontario fraud investigator said Tuesday, flew from Paris to Montreal and then crossed into the United States on a jet ski at Akwesasne, the Mohawk territory that straddles the borders of Ontario, Quebec and New York.
“Literally it was a two minute jet ski ride that this guy hopped on with a human trafficker,” said Detective Sergeant John Armit of the Ontario Provincial Police.
A new survey finds that nearly half of undergraduate students support censorship, shout-downs, and physical violence to suppress what they consider “hate speech” or offensive ideas.
Fox News reports that the 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey, released this month by the Buckley Institute, shows that 45 percent of undergraduate students surveyed believe physical violence can be justified to stop so-called hate speech. That number is up 6 points from 2025 and ties the all-time record set in 2023.

Buried in a report aimed at discrediting ongoing probes into Rep. Ilhan Omar, The Washington Post divulged fresh evidence suggesting her previous marriage to her alleged brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was a sham.
In recounting the first Trump administration’s ultimately inconclusive investigation into some of the same issues federal officials are examining anew concerning the congresswoman’s background, the Post reveals that Elmi once filed a petition to have his residency status, derived from his marriage-based green card, shifted from conditional to permanent. According to the newspaper, U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) “requested additional evidence due to concerns over the validity of his marriage,” at which point Elmi pulled his application.
The new Norm Macdonald documentary, Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald, directed by Judd Apatow, is excellent. That is partly because Macdonald, the Canadian comedian and actor, was such an extraordinary talent: a man with a distinctly novelistic personality, full of hidden depths, profundity, moral courage, pathos and wit. But also because the Nineties and early 2000s, when he was culturally prominent, were simply richer than today’s America. They were more fun, less paranoid, freer and, somehow, more human.
Not the new doc …
Former U.S. president Bill Clinton considers Mark Carney a longtime friend and called the prime minister “about the most well qualified leader in the world.”
