Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has signed new agreements on trade and defence cooperation with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Parliament Hill.
The trade deal is comprehensive, meaning it opens up trade in multiple industries with the world’s fourth most populous country.
Carney said the “game-changing” agreement is the first-ever bilateral trade pact signed with a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
Mark Carney is no doubt aware that when he uses the word “rupture” about Canada-U.S. relations, it grates on the nerves of some in Donald Trump’s circle.
So it was interesting to see the prime minister doubling down on the rupture language in his numerous appearances at the United Nations this week. Now Carney is even using it to say how Canada will use the disruption with the U.S. to its advantage.
“In every moment where there’s a crack, where there’s a rupture, there is possibility,” Carney said at a news conference in New York on Tuesday evening.
I guess we’ll all have to get used to being poorer now. Not Carney of course.
Lithium Americas stock soared Wednesday as the Trump administration is seeking an equity stake in the mining company, which is based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The White House proposed the equity stake as Lithium Americas renegotiates the terms of a $2.2 billion loan from the Department of Energy for its Thacker Pass mine, a Trump administration official told CNBC. Reuters first reported the equity stake proposal.

Most Canadians say they’ll never trust the United States the way they once did, according to a new poll.
Conducted by Ipsos for Global News, the poll found that 60 per cent of those surveyed believe Canada won’t ever be able to rely on their southern neighbour the same way, while 71 per cent feel the trade dispute that upended the countries’ long-standing friendship will continue for years.
These results have no doubt perplexed and angered some Americans, including the current U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra.
Given that we have the best tariff deal anywhere and have spent years freeloading under the USA’s protective wing I suggest the Elbow People tone it down.
For the seventh consecutive month, Canadians took their tourism dollars elsewhere in July 2025 and said no to heading south of the border.
In July, the number of Canadian residents returning from the United States was down to 2.6 million, marking a 32.4 per cent decrease compared with July 2024, Statistics Canada said in a new report Tuesday.
Canada just announced consultations for the Canada-United States-Mexico (CUSMA) trade agreement, copying America’s homework while forgetting we don’t have the same tools to complete the assignment. It’s like showing up to a gunfight with a strongly-worded letter.
Here’s the stark reality: The United States has over 700 trade experts on standby, ready to defend their interests. Canada? Zero. We dismantled our Sectoral Advisory Groups on International Trade (SAGITs) in 2013 to save pennies. Now we’re paying in billions.
Hamas performed a public execution on a Gaza City street on Sunday night. Three men in blindfolds, who had been accused of collaborating with Israel, were lowered to their knees in front of hundreds of onlookers. While members of the crowd cheered, jeered and took videos on their phones, the men were shot at point-blank range.
Just hours earlier, a dispatch had come from Ottawa: Canada was officially recognizing a Palestinian state.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney defended on Tuesday his government’s decision to recognize the State of Palestine despite fierce criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, Republican lawmakers and the Conservative opposition in Ottawa.
Earlier in the day, Trump accused allied nations — which include Canada — of encouraging “continued conflict” in the Middle East by seemingly rewarding terrorist group Hamas.
Canada has values. Carney and his Liberals do not.
Canada’s restaurant sector is at a turning point. Rising costs are pushing more people away from eating out and back into their kitchens. Three out of four Canadians now say they dine out less often because of the cost of living.
Last week, Concordia student union undergraduate council member Anastasia Zorchinsky took to social media to voice her concerns about the school’s 2025-26 student handbook.
Such handbooks are supposed to include calendars and other useful information for students. But according to Zorchinsky, this year’s agenda doesn’t look like anything that should be handed out at a Canadian university.
The Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre are pulling ahead of Mark Carney and the Liberals in the latest poll from the Angus Reid Institute. The poll finds the Conservatives with a slight lead nationally as they close the gap with Carney in Ontario.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND in Ukraine.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND in Gaza.Except Canada has NO boots.
We can’t recruit. We can’t train. We can’t even equip the troops we have.Carney is sending GHOST SOLDIERS to war.

The Nova Scotia government, prompted by patriotic Halifax high school students, is reinforcing Canadian pride through its education system with a new policy that mandates playing the national anthem as each school day begins and a petition that calls for the same.
Well if that isn’t a hate crime this most certainly is!
Hey what happened to the transgender crosswalk!!!
OTTAWA — A group of U.S. Republicans warned Prime Minister Mark Carney and allied nations on Friday that recognizing the Palestinian state may invite “punitive measures in response” for being “at odds” with longstanding U.S. foreign policy.
In an open letter, 25 Republican members of Congress and Senators called on Carney to “reconsider” his government’s decision. Carney formally recognized the Palestinian state on Sunday, ahead of his arrival in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Canadian authorities have arrested Inderjit Singh Gosal, a 36-year-old prominent organizer for the banned Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) group and close aide to designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, on multiple charges related to the possession of unlicensed firearms.
The arrest took place in Ottawa on September 22. Gosal, a resident of Brampton, Ontario, was arrested by the Peel Police along with two associates while traveling from Brampton to Ottawa, for possession of unlicensed firearms. All three individuals remain in custody and are expected to face formal charges and possible jail time.
Earlier this month ... As Carney resumes diplomatic ties, India accused of renewed threats to Canadians
The RCMP has warned a prominent Sikh activist that his life is in danger, fuelling concerns that India is continuing to target Canadians while Ottawa seeks improved trade ties with the South Asian power.
Inderjeet Singh Gosal told Global News in an interview on Thursday that RCMP national security officers had formally cautioned him last month that he may be killed within weeks.
So the RCMP IS running cover for Khalistanis? I doubt Canadians receive such attention.
A delighted Hamas terrorist organization acknowledged the recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia in a Sunday statement, applauding the appeasement move as “an important step” and reward for its murderous anti-Israel activities.
