Canadians are now being warned to stay vigilant for bad actors that can exploit people’s personal data.
Former prime minister Jean Chrétien proudly affirmed recently, in the context of trade issues, that Canadians do not bow to anyone — so true, Monsieur. But au contraire, you support Canadians who bow to the Laurentian Elite (LE). Quebec is a charter LE member, as its interests prevail, regardless of the Constitution and those of other provinces.
Canada’s top soldier will find out on the weekend whether she has been selected to lead NATO’s military committee at a time when the defence alliance faces some of the most difficult challenges in its history.

But it will be a secret vote among the military leaders on Sept. 19 which will determine if Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan will be named as chair of the military committee (CMC) — NATO’s top military role.
A Canadian province’s experiment decriminalizing fentanyl in an effort to drive down overdose fatalities has failed, with the death toll unchanged by the pilot scheme.
Politicians in British Columbia (BC) believed that legalizing the synthetic opioid, along with other hard drugs including heroin, methamphetamine and crack cocaine, would be a ‘critical step’ towards allowing users to seek help without fear of being detained.
Under the program, which launched January 2023, people found carrying drugs below the 2.5-gram threshold would be guided by police to social support services instead of being arrested or charged.
Support for Canada deepening its relationship with Europe is growing, a new poll has found, as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to travel to Strasbourg, France, to strengthen ties with the European Union.
An Abacus Data survey, which was conducted from September 4 to 9, found that 80 per cent of Canadians say Canada should deepen strategic cooperation with the European Union on foreign policy, defence, and economic priorities — up six points since February.
A Montreal charity that helped bring Syrian refugees to Canada was fined $60,900 for providing “undue benefits” to a company owned by its president as part of its sponsorship program, according to documents recently made public.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) notified the Centre Canadien Islamique Al-Jamieh/Canadian Islamic Centre Al-Jamieh of the penalty in a Sept. 12, 2024 letter, which has now been made available through the IJF’s Open by Default database.
The notice says the mosque, a registered charity, paid $58,000 to a consulting company in March 2017. That company was wholly owned by the charity’s then-president, Ahmad Chaar.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday described the unfolding tension between Canada and the United States as a “strange” sight to behold, drawing a comparison to his own country’s fight with neighbouring Russia.
In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with CBC News, Zelenskyy described American threats to annex Canada as “dangerous” and said both countries have a duty to resolve their differences.
“Strange,” the president told CBC News chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault, speaking to the tension in North America.
I hope Trump cuts him off for this. Canada won’t because our politicians are in on the grift.
Conservative MPs became emotional during a public hearing as Canadians described deaths and serious health problems they attributed to COVID-19 vaccines, including the case of a longtime parliamentary aide who qualified for federal vaccine injury compensation before his death.
“I don’t think we have properly acknowledged the harm that was done to many people,” Conservative MP Blaine Calkins, who represents Ponoka-Didsbury, Alta., said at the hearing.
OTTAWA – In the escalating controversy over CBC News guidance directing journalists not to describe the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism, FBI personnel assigned to American diplomatic posts in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver were instructed to leave their workplaces and go home, according to a U.S. law-enforcement source with knowledge of interagency communications surrounding the incident.
The U.S. ambassador to Canada says his country needs their “allies on board” to counter terrorist threats that target Western democracies’ way of life.
Pete Hoekstra was in Gander, Nfld., on Friday to attend a memorial marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City. The people of Gander took in stranded passengers diverted to the province after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon disrupted air travel.
Good luck with that.

On the eve of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks committed by Islamists on the United States that murdered 2,977 innocent people, former federal special representative on “Islamophobia” Amira Elghawaby says the 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks have been a difficult period for Muslims. She feels now is a time to try and portray Islamists as victims and plead for sympathy.
Her timing is vile, as is the ideology she is running cover for, and I couldn’t care less if Islamists got blowback for committing one of the most horrific terrorist atrocities of modern times.
Back in 2017, I had been chatting with Financial Times columnist Edward Luce and he made an observation: Many people viewed U.S. President Donald Trump’s election as a temporary aberration, one that would end once he left office. Nearly a decade later, Canada is still grappling with the opposite reality, yet the perception that things are temporary persists.
The trade war is often discussed as a dispute to be negotiated away, measured in tariffs, retaliation and timelines. That framing misses the larger lesson.
On 9/11, the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed thousands of stranded Americans whose flights were redirected after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.
Twenty-five years later, residents of that very same Atlantic coast community are less enthusiastic about hosting the US ambassador to Canada for commemoration ceremonies on Friday.
Some are even demanding that his invite be rescinded.
