Elbows? Maybe. But Carney approval definitely down, vote intention returns to near tie

September 5, 2025 – Summer has come and mostly gone, and no trade deal has materialized between Canada and its largest trading partner – the United States. Amid this, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to drop counter tariffs, as well as high expectations on other major issues like housing affordability and “nation building” have contributed to a drop in his personal approval for the first time since assuming the office, and an electoral outlook that is now deadlocked with the Conservatives.

Even the Elbow people will have to admit they were sold a gimmicky slogan and nothing more.

‘Unemployment rate at its highest since ‘pandemic days’

Canadian economy bled 66,000 jobs in August as unemployment rate at its highest since ‘pandemic days’

Canada’s unemployment rate reached nearly its highest point since 2016 as the economy shed 66,000 jobs in August, according to new data from Statistics Canada.

The unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points in August to 7.1 per cent, a level last seen in May 2016 if the COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021 were excluded, the data agency said.

The unemployment rate, or the number of people unemployed out of the total population, has been rising consistently this year, up from a 6.6 per cent rate in January.

Trump Administration Announces Expansion of Crackdown at Canada’s Border

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday that the Justice Department will expand Joint Task Force (JTF) Alpha to cover the U.S. northern border with Canada and all maritime borders.

“We will receive more resources to prosecute these cases and key figures in cartel, human trafficking and transnational criminals,” Bondi said at a press conference. “We will strengthen our collaboration with foreign law enforcement throughout this world to protect not only their citizens but ours and return these criminals to American soil for prosecution.”

Hezbollah, other terror groups actively fundraising in Canada: government report

OTTAWA — Canada’s “open and accessible” financial sector is vulnerable to terror groups looking to finance their overseas operations, a new government report details.

The report, entitled 2025 Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Canada, was quietly released by the Department of Finance last week, indicating overseas terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah involved in Politically Motivated Violent Extremism (PVME) are actively raising funds in Canada.

Opinion: Strip Mohamad Fakih of Order of Canada membership

Justin Trudeau and Mohamad Fakih

Who Canada honours is a direct reflection on our country and our values, and nothing conveys that more profoundly than our nation’s highest civilian honour: the Order of Canada.

Its recipients are supposed to represent our very best by recognizing those who, through their life and conduct, embody the aspiration contained in the Order’s motto: “They desire a better country”.

Fakih is the ideal recipient of The Order Of  Canada, an immigrant whose loyalty is not to Canada but to a cult whose tenets demand our destruction. That’s why Justin loves him.

Geoff Russ: Yes Liberals, Canada is pretty much the Wild West today

Last Sunday, 46-year-old Abdul Aleem Farooqi was shot to death in his Vaughan home just after midnight. The shooter was part of a band of armed, masked intruders seeking to rob the house.

Farooqi was protecting his family when he died, and his children are now left without a father, and his wife without a husband.

On the same day in Welland, 25-year-old Daniel Senecal is alleged to have broken into another home and sexually abused a toddler while the parents slept. He was known to the police.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney keeps moving the goal posts on trade deal with U.S.

No doubt many Canadians will be surprised to learn that, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada has already achieved, “the best trade deal of any country in the world” with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The reason, Carney said on Wednesday, is that. “We have a team, a very senior team, the clerk of the Privy Council is there in Washington as we speak, that is meeting with U.S. counterparts”, plus his own constructive conversations with Trump, including, the PM revealed, their latest “at length” talk on Monday which he described as a “good” conversation.

Canada will thank U.S. President Donald Trump in 20 years: Charest

QUEBEC — Jean Charest says Canada will eventually thank U.S. President Donald Trump for providing the country with a much-needed economic shakeup.

The Quebec premier between 2003 and 2012 told business leaders in Quebec City on Tuesday that Trump is pulling Canada out of its “lethargy” and forcing its leaders to rethink the economy.

Charest is now a member of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s council on Canada-U.S. relations.

Crony Capitalism has taken a hit in the balls. But Canada being Canada they will remain an important part of our corrupt self serving political class.

Project 2025 mastermind invited to speak at Carney’s cabinet meeting

A prominent conservative figure in American politics and the mastermind behind Project 2025 — the infamous policy blueprint that proposed a drastic overhaul of the U.S. government — will speak to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet behind closed doors Thursday.

Carney and his ministers are in the Greater Toronto Area for two days of meetings ahead of the fall parliamentary sitting. According to the list of guest speakers, the Liberal team is hearing from Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank that has shaped Republican administrations since the 1980s.

It’s the group that spearheaded Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto meant to usher in a new ultra-conservative administration supported by more than 100 like-minded organizations.

Remember this the next time the CBC cries “foreign interference” or some such nonsense when the Conservatives invite a US speaker.

Chris Selley: The Order of Canada provides far more division than unity

It is hardly surprising, in the year 2025, to see a public figure strung up — figuratively, thank goodness — for something he didn’t quite say or mean. If cinema is “a machine that creates empathy,” as critic Roger Ebert once said, then social media is something like the opposite: a machine for grinding people into the radioactive dust of their own presumed worst intentions.

Jamie Sarkonak: Poilievre’s self-defence plan doesn’t go far enough

On Friday, Pierre Poilievre said he would change Canada’s self-defence laws so that “the use of force, including lethal force, is presumed reasonable against an individual who unlawfully enters a house and poses a threat to the safety of anyone inside.” It’s a reform that would nudge the needle to favour victims, but it probably wouldn’t change much.

Right now, the law of self-defence in Canada will absolve self-defenders who reasonably believe that force or the threat of force is being made against them, and who take defensive action that is found to be “reasonable in the circumstances.” This would include break-in victims.

Derek Burney: Action urgently needed as Canada-U.S. relations drift precariously

Does anyone really know where Canada’s tariff negotiations with the U.S. are headed? Despite a steady cavalcade of ministerial visits to Washington and efforts by individual premiers to engage, it is difficult to know what is being discussed, or whether anything has been agreed or rejected. We have been treated instead to airy platitudes: Talks are “progressing” or meetings “have been constructive,” etc. Messaging to the U.S. media has been obsequious, not crisp lest anything strong trigger an outburst by the unpredictable president.

I bet he did – Carney says he spoke with Trump in ‘good’ conversation on trade, geopolitics

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke at length with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday night.

Mr. Carney told reporters Wednesday on his way into a two-day meeting with his cabinet that it was a “good” conversation that touched on a range of issues including trade, geopolitics and labour.

I don’t think there’s an upside here. My impression is Trump is more than happy to let Carney wither on the vine.

CHARLEBOIS: Doug Ford’s pour decision a misguided one

Watching Ontario Premier Doug Ford theatrically dump a bottle of Crown Royal was one of the most misguided political gestures we’ve seen in some time — at least since the beginning of Canada’s recent trade dispute with the United States.
