‘We have to be very cautious’: Former Tory leader Erin O’Toole’s advice to PM Carney on China

‘We have to be very cautious’: Former Tory leader Erin O’Toole’s advice to PM Carney on China

Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole is cautioning the prime minister that despite the need to diversify trade, China is not a substitute for the United States.

O’Toole has been tapped to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s 24-member Canada-U.S. Advisory Committee, unveiled this week as a formal review of the countries’ trilateral trade deal with Mexico fast approaches.

More than a year into a protracted trade war with the United States, meanwhile, Carney is once again emphasizing a shift in the relationship with Canada’s closest neighbour, describing Canada’s ties to the U.S. as a “weakness” in a social media video last Sunday.

Aboriginal title cases should take into account the taxpayer money paid to First Nations

Aboriginal title cases should take into account the taxpayer money paid to First Nations

In August 2025, after one of the longest trials in Canadian history, Justice Barbara Young of the British Columbia Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling declaring that the Cowichan Tribes hold “Aboriginal title” to 800 acres of land in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond.

The 800 acres includes government land and 150 “fee simple” properties, the most common form of residential land ownership in Canada. In other words, people’s homes and businesses.

Celebrity tag-a-long Justin Trudeau says U.S. economic coercion risks pushing Canada closer to China

Former prime minister Justin Trudeau is warning that U.S. tariffs threaten to drive Canada closer to China in the auto sector.

Speaking at a CNBC event in Singapore on Thursday, Trudeau said “economic pressures and coercion” nearly drove Canadian aerospace company Bombardier “into China’s arms” almost a decade ago.

An ethics report just called on Mark Carney to sell his investments. Here’s why it likely won’t happen

An ethics report just called on Mark Carney to sell his investments. Here’s why it likely won’t happen

OTTAWA — Lots of ink has been spilled this past year about the quandary of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s sprawling past business dealings, significant investments and his many potential conflicts of interest, and a parliamentary committee unveiled some possible solutions this week.

Yet, most of these solutions are very unlikely to see the light of day.

Trump dinner shooting was targeting administration officials, authorities believe

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday said that the man set to be charged with attacking the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is believed to have been targeting members of the Trump administration.

“It does appear that he did in fact set out to target folks who work in the administration, likely including the president,” Blanche told NBC’s Meet the Press in comments on the suspect, who has widely been identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of California.

Quebec EV owner’s 16-month repair nightmare exposes limits of Canada’s first ‘anti-lemon’ law

Quebec EV owner’s 16-month repair nightmare exposes limits of Canada’s first ‘anti-lemon’ law

A Quebec woman whose new electric vehicle was in and out of the shop for 16 months says the first-in-Canada anti-lemon law doesn’t go far enough.

“I find that it’s protecting more the companies than the actual consumer that’s buying the car,” said Natalina Recine.

Her ordeal began when she bought her new Chevrolet Equinox EV at Le Relais Chevrolet, Buick, GMC in Montreal in December 2024.

Aborted Pakistan Trip Leaves Trump With Tough Choices on Iran Talks

Aborted Pakistan Trip Leaves Trump With Tough Choices on Iran Talks

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—President Trump scrapped a trip by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with Iran, leaving himself tough choices over how to force Iran to make concessions the White House wants to strike a deal.

Trump said on Saturday that he had decided to cancel the trip after receiving an offer from Iran that fell short of the White House’s expectations. “We’re not going to spend 15 hours in airplanes all the time, going back and forth, to be given a document that was not good enough,” he said.

Why are veggies so expensive? Consumers crunched by climbing cucumber costs

Why are veggies so expensive? Consumers crunched by climbing cucumber costs

Bad news if you recently decided to eat more greens because meat is so expensive.

It’s the produce section of your local grocery store that may trigger a double-take these days. Fresh veggies cost 7.8 per cent more year over year in March, according to Statistics Canada’s most recent inflation numbers. After prices increased 0.5 per cent in February, March’s increase is the largest since August 2023.

Washington hotel shooting raises questions about Trump security

Washington hotel shooting raises questions about Trump security

“I can’t imagine that there’s any profession that is more dangerous,” President Donald Trump told reporters, just hours after he was at the centre of yet another major security incident.

While a small army of Secret Service agents make the president arguably the world’s most protected person, keeping him safe is proving to be no easy task.

First there was the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 2024 in which a bullet grazed his ear. Just 64 days later, Trump was again the target of a would-be assassin as he played a round on his Florida golf course.

OLDCORN: Ottawa should fund deportations, not health benefits for rejected asylum claimants

OLDCORN: Ottawa should fund deportations, not health benefits for rejected asylum claimants

Ottawa has a strange idea of fairness.

Federal figures reported by Blacklock’s Reporter show taxpayers spent more than $43 million last year on healthcare benefits for rejected asylum claimants and illegal immigrants. That included basic healthcare, prescriptions, counselling, physiotherapy, vision care, transportation to appointments, and translation supports.

That is not a rounding error. It is a policy choice.

Growing Personnel Shortage Threatens Ukraine’s Front Lines

Growing Personnel Shortage Threatens Ukraine’s Front Lines

Ukraine has found itself in a paradoxical situation: while its “Army of Drones” has achieved unprecedented technical feats—including capturing Russian positions using only autonomous robots—the human foundation of the military is fracturing.

A sobering report from Dutch military intelligence warns that the casualty ratio, once heavily skewed against Russia, has leveled out. For a nation with a significantly smaller population, this parity is a slow-motion disaster.
