Canada’s Shadow Refugee Claim System: How Tens of Thousands Are Approved Without a Single Question

New report warns Canada’s paper-based refugee fast track may be prone to abuse by terror-linked and transnational fraud networks.

OTTAWA — A sweeping new border control investigation has revealed that since 2019, Canada’s refugee hearing board has been quietly accepting tens of thousands of asylum claims without ever questioning the migrants, effectively rubber-stamping applications from some of the most dangerous countries on earth — Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran — through a paper-based process that is wide open to fraud and bypasses the security screening architecture designed to protect the nation.

Iran threatens to send Trump’s aircraft carrier ‘to bottom of the sea’

Iran’s supreme leader threatened to send US aircraft carriers to the “bottom of the sea” while talks to avert a war began in Geneva.

Ali Khamenei dismissed the American military build-up in the Persian Gulf after Donald Trump ordered a second carrier to the region last week.

“They constantly say we have sent an aircraft carrier towards Iran,” the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader said. “Very well, an aircraft carrier is certainly a dangerous machine, but more dangerous than the carrier is the weapon that can send it to the bottom of the sea.”

GWYN MORGAN: Germany’s green energy gamble and open borders backfired, Canada should take note

Muslims in Germany: Caliphate is the solution

Germany was postwar Europe’s greatest economic success story. Today, it is a cautionary tale. Once the continent’s industrial engine, Germany has spent the past decade dismantling the foundations of its prosperity through energy and immigration policies driven more by ideology than evidence or good sense. The results have been rising costs, falling competitiveness, social disorder, and political backlash. Canada should study this record closely because we are pursuing many of the same policies.


Germany has one thing going for it Canada does not – The AfD.

Robot’s 10-mile frontline scramble to rescue Ukrainian soldier

When the soldier codenamed Blackbird was bundled into the back of the rescue robot, wrapped in a sleeping bag and bound with bloodied tourniquets, his life hung in the balance.

One leg was gone and the other was shattered, looking more like a burned branch than flesh and bone. His right arm, too, was smashed.

If his wounds did not kill him, the cold might have done so. It was minus 10C on the front line south of Kostiantynivka in the darkness of Sunday evening, even without the windchill. From time to time, gusts of snow blew across the robot’s camera.

Donald Trump may soon start to look weak. Will that prompt Mark Carney to make an early election call?

The opposition parties were all trumped, as it were, in last year’s election. They may well face the same fate again this year as talk of an election call in Canada grows. If an election does occur, Donald Trump’s continued raft of threats, insults and incoherent rants is a gift to the Liberals. His behaviour underlines the threat he represents — and the need for a strong and effective Canadian prime minister to challenge him. Barring unforeseeable events, Mark Carney owns that card.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Carney’s defence strategy is a plan to bloat the bureaucracy

Canada’s defence industry got a $6.6 billion boost Tuesday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney formally unveiled Ottawa’s new Defence Industrial Strategy. The plan promises to create 125,000 new jobs over 10 years and award 70 per cent of defence contracts to Canadian companies, through a “Build-Partner-Buy” framework that prioritizes domestic industry. It is part of the government’s plan to increase Canadian military spending to five per cent of GDP by 2035, in line with NATO targets.

Carney faces calls to send fuel to Cuba as U.S. widens blockade

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing mounting calls to speak out against the United States for widening its restrictions on fuel reaching Cuba, or to send aid to the country.

For more than a year, Global Affairs Canada has warned travellers of “shortages of basic necessities, including food, medicine and fuel” across most of Cuba. In January, the island lost its main source of fuel when the U.S. took control of Venezuela’s oil reserves.


Who’s making these calls? Justin and his brother?

John Ivison: Canada’s pivot to Europe for trade gains traction as Trump loses momentum

One of the most unheralded stories of last year was the increase in Canadian exports to the United Kingdom, to the point Britain has become this country’s second-largest export market, overtaking China.

In the first 11 months of 2025, exports to the U.K. hit $42.5 billion, compared to $31 billion to China. That is a nearly 60 per cent increase, in large measure because of a surge in gold shipments (Canada is a producer; Britain a global hub) but there were solid rises in agrifood, clean tech and aircraft.


Europe is pretty much Canada economically, over taxed, over regulated, hollowed out by mass migration, preyed upon by green scamming elites, criminalized by their governments. I do not see the upside.

Police still persist with the hate crime agenda

WHAT did I tell you? In December, Britain’s College of Policing revealed to the Telegraph that it would recommend to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood that ‘non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHIs) should no longer be recorded (12 years after the same organisation had recommended they should be recorded).

In response I warned that police would continue to record NCHIs while claiming they are just collecting intelligence.
