Carney’s next big test is solving immigration concerns

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is contemplating its immigration targets for the next three years. It should heed the wishes of most Canadians and make drastic cuts.

In its first failure to take Canadians’ immigration concerns seriously, Carney’s government has already exceeded this year’s targets for temporary foreign workers. But another test rapidly approaches. Immigration Minister Lena Diab is expected to announce the government’s immigration targets for the next three years. Most Canadians — native-born and immigrant alike — want less immigration. The government needs to make a sharp U-turn now and heed the public’s wishes.

An ‘important minority’ of young Canadians believe terrorism can be justified: poll

An “important minority” of young Canadians say terrorism can be justified, according to a new poll tied to the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The poll, conducted by Leger for Association for Canadian Studies (ACS), revealed this ideology held by one in five Canadians under the age of 25. They likely “believe that the architects of terrorist attacks are themselves victims, and as such, they may conclude that the ends justify the means in pursuing the objective, however they choose to interpret it,” ACS president and CEO Jack Jedwab told National Post over email.

Sounds like Muslim Yutes!

Half of Canadians think Poilievre’s chances of beating Carney are ‘poor,’ while PM’s honeymoon erodes: poll

OTTAWA — Half of Canadians believe Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s chances of beating Prime Minister Mark Carney are poor at best even as Carney’s approval ratings show the first signs of slipping, according to a new Leger poll.

“Mr. Poilievre still has work to do… to broaden his appeal to the greater electorate,” Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns said in an interview.

‘Steep decline’ continues: Canada-U.S. travel data down again in August

New preliminary data shows that trips between Canada and the United States are down once again in August, in what Statistics Canada notes is the seventh straight month of declining international travel.

Last month, 1.8 million U.S. residents entered Canada by automobile and just shy of 590,000 did so by air, down 4.5 and 3.6 per cent, respectively, from August 2024.

Canadian travellers, meanwhile, showed a “steep decline” in trips to the United States, with U.S. automobile travel down roughly 34 per cent and air travel down more than 25 per cent from 12 months prior.

‘Palestine’ can’t just be ‘conjured up’: Douglas Murray blasts Mark Carney

Outspoken British journalist Douglas Murray has a blunt take on Israel’s strikes in Qatar, targeting Hamas’s leadership. “The scandal is not that Israel acted, but that it had to.” In an interview in Montreal with National Post, Murray, the bestselling author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, offered a sharp and unapologetic view on Israel’s decision to target Hamas leaders in Doha.

We now support Hamas? What a stupid statement by Carney. h/t Mauser

‘Allah will burn them’: What pro-Palestinian students and allies say when they think no one is watching

In the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, a group of Jewish students at Western University infiltrated two private group chats, belonging to Palestinian students and their allies in the London, Ont., community.

The students’ discoveries shine a light on what some opponents of Israel are saying to one another when they think no one’s watching. What they found in the chat histories is unsettling: a stream of Hitler memes, pro-Hamas videos and antisemitic cartoons. More alarming is the advice group chat members give each other on escaping detection. There are even tips on bringing knives to peaceful protests.

I’m shocked.

Could Canadian LNG ambitions put Washington on edge?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadian and American leaders have long touted the idea of North American energy dominance, building one of the world’s most deeply integrated energy markets, complete with cross-border pipelines and power grids.

In recent years, however, left-leaning politicians on both sides have worked to reduce fossil fuel dependence and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

Ottawa considered monetary penalties and ‘binding legislation’ to lower grocery prices

The federal government considered using “binding legislation” and monetary penalties to make grocery giants stabilize prices, a sign the government was at one point willing to take sweeping action to address public anger over soaring grocery costs and rising corporate profits.

A 2024 document obtained by the IJF through its Open By Default database reveals public servants in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada proposed legislation forcing grocers to adopt a “code of conduct” meant to reduce food inflation.

Canada’s War on Racist Cameras

As I reported yesterday, DEI Mayor Vi of Charlotte, N.C., praised the city’s “media partners” for not showing the video of the brutal murder of a 23-year-old young woman at the hands of a career criminal on public transit, on the grounds that depicting reality would potentially create awareness of said reality, which the governing authorities find inconvenient. “I want to thank our media partners and community members who have chosen not to repost or share the footage out of respect for Iryna’s family,” stated Vi.

The B.C. shipbuilding controversy exposes Canada’s shortcomings as a country

When we last left the decision by BC Ferries to award a contract to build four new vessels in its fleet to a Chinese shipbuilder, politicians of all persuasions couldn’t denounce the move vigorously enough.

It was a scandal, we were assured. The federal Conservatives decried the fact we were off-shoring jobs to an adversary. (Who is going to tell them that China is our second-largest trading partner and our exports help feed their people?)

44% of Canadians Want to End Temporary Foreign Worker Program, 30% Disagree: Poll

Canadians are divided on whether Ottawa should eliminate its temporary foreign worker program, although the scales tip in favour of scrapping the program, a new survey suggests.

Forty-four percent of Canadians said they support a recent proposal by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to phase out the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP) while 30 percent are opposed to such a move, a survey from Abacus Data found. An additional 18 percent of those polled said they were either neutral or undecided on the subject.

SMOL: Iconic War of 1812 battle site deteriorates due to government neglect.

The Battle of Queenston Heights occurred on October 13th, 1812, on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the Niagara River, within easy shouting and shooting distance from the U.S. shore. It was the first significant engagement in British Canada’s desperate fight for survival against the expansionist United States between 1812 and 1815 — an America intent on forcibly incorporating the British Canadian colonies into its republican experiment.

Canada and America can’t break up – but we do need a trial separation

For as long as Canada and the United States have been neighbours, some people have advocated for a more open border – for fewer restrictions on the flow of goods, services and people between the two countries. I have long been one of those advocates.

No more. For the sake of our country’s survival, Canada must distance itself as much as possible from the United States: economically, culturally, militarily.

Though it breaks my heart to say it, the Canada-U.S. relationship, at least for now, must enter a period of separation.

The Muslim Brotherhood poses an insidious threat to Canadian society

“The Ikhwan (Arabic for “brethren”) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers (Muslims) so that it is eliminated and God’s religion (Islam) is made victorious over all other religions.”

This disturbing excerpt formed part of a 1991 strategic memo that outlined the Muslim Brotherhood’s plans to conquer North America. It was produced as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation case, the largest terror-financing trial in United States history.
