Viva Quebec! Muslim leaders say Quebec report on secularism is discriminatory

A government committee’s 50 recommendations to Quebec, including extending the province’s religious symbols ban to subsidized daycares and requiring people to uncover their faces when receiving public services, are drawing criticism from some community leaders.

“We really have to ask some serious questions about the legitimacy of this report,” said Stephen Brown, president of the National Council of Canadian Muslims.

He said the nearly 300-page report released on Tuesday offering recommendations to strengthen secularism in Quebec is not suggesting that the government “proceed in the spectrum of neutrality.”

That is one very demanding death cult.

Majority of Canadians say Canada is more dangerous than five years ago: CSIS poll

OTTAWA — Nearly six in 10 Canadians feel their country is more dangerous than five years ago, before Russia invaded Ukraine, India was linked to the murder of a Sikh-Canadian and Canada reckoned with the scourge of foreign interference.

In fact, only a paltry three per cent of Canadians believe Canada is a safer place now than it was five years, according to a January Ekos poll done on behalf of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and recently published online.

Funny how the Hamas support rallies don’t merit a mention.

Poilievre says temporary foreign workers taking jobs from young Canadians

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says temporary foreign workers are taking jobs from young Canadians while youth unemployment is high.

Poilievre made the comment today during a press conference in Charlottetown, several days after the government released mid-year immigration data.

On Monday, Poilievre said on social media the government had exceeded caps it set for temporary worker visas, and accused the government of being “out of control” on immigration.

GREEN: U.S. rejection of climate-alarmist worldview has major implications for Canada

The United States Department of Energy recently published a report, which essentially summarizes the U.S. government’s rejection of the 30-year-old, United Nations-centric, climate-alarmed consensus worldview.

Carney and his whole family are eco-nuts, especially when there’s profit to be had.

Profit that always translates to your loss without discernible benefit to anything or anyone beyond the connected.

LILLEY: Time for Carney to dump our ambassador in Washington

As Mark Carney visited Germany and Latvia on Tuesday, his point man on Canada-U.S. relations was in Washington trying to mend fences.

It’s a tall task even after last week’s decision to put the elbows down and rescind Canada’s counter-tariffs on American goods outside of the steel, aluminum and auto sectors. Carney still needs to change up his team.

Specifically, as I’ve said before, Ambassador Kirsten Hillman has to be replaced because source after source continues to describe her as an impediment.

Ford to maintain U.S. booze ban in Ontario until tariffs removed or new trade deal reached

Doug Ford’s Basement

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will maintain his ban on American booze despite Canada dropping some retaliatory tariffs in the ongoing trade war with the United States.

Ford says he will drop the ban on selling U.S. alcohol at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario when U.S. President Donald Trump removes tariffs placed on Canadian goods or when the two countries strike a new free trade deal.

Kneecap keeps Canadian tour dates, cancels U.S. shows due to court hearing

The Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, whose performance at Coachella earlier this year sparked controversy for projected messages against the Israeli government’s war in Gaza, is cancelling 15 of its shows in the United States but says four scheduled shows in Vancouver and Toronto will go on.

In an Instagram post this week, the group announced it was cancelling the U.S. shows due to Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh’s upcoming court hearing in London scheduled for Sept. 26.

Ó Hannaidh is a rapper and group co-founder who performs under the name Mo Chara. He faces terrorism charges in the United Kingdom after videos emerged appearing to show him wearing a Hezbollah flag over his head. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are designated terror groups in Britain and Canada.

Canada Post lost $407M in 2nd quarter, says customers seeking out other parcel carriers

Canada Post continues to hemorrhage money, losing $407 million in the second quarter of 2025, the beleaguered Crown corporation announced Tuesday.

It’s the largest quarterly loss as parcel revenue plummets, the postal service said.

Canada Post attributed the before-tax loss to uncertainty stemming from lengthy contract negotiations between it and its union.

Put it out of its misery.

‘Who let her in??!’ Minister’s staff accidentally text deliberations about 15 per cent spending cut to reporter

OTTAWA — With ministers due to present their proposals for a 15 per cent spending review, deciding where to cut carries inescapable “political consequences,” according to the staff of Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin.

A rare glimpse into the internal deliberations was offered to National Post — when one of her staff accidentally added a reporter to a group chat.

Kelly McParland: Carney’s agenda stopped dead by industries addicted to Ottawa’s largess

Prime Minister Mark Carney spent part of this month on a less-hectic work schedule. He was even spotted walking along a street in Ottawa with his wife, just like a normal human being. After months of intense activity he presumably saw a need to pause, assess progress and reflect on the past year. His conclusion may well have been: what was I thinking?

The message of his new non-Trudeau government was one of action: it was time to move fast, do big things and revitalize the country. Six months in, he’s already being criticized for failing to deliver. We still have tariffs! U.S. President Donald Trump’s still harassing us! Houses still cost too much! Where’s the new pipeline and all those big projects?

Ontario has no plans to sell U.S. booze amid call from group to return American liquor to Canadian store shelves

The Ontario government has no plans to put U.S. booze back on LCBO shelves amid calls from a group representing U.S. distillers to return American spirits back to Canadian liquor stores.

In a statement released on Monday, Distilled Spirits Council President and CEO Chris Swonger called Canada’s decision to remove a 25 per cent tariff on American spirits a “very positive sign,” but noted it will not have much of an impact as long as provinces refuse to sell U.S. liquor.

“The unfortunate decision to remove American spirits from Canadian retail shelves is not only harming U.S. distillers, but it’s also needlessly reducing revenues for the provinces, and placing unnecessary burdens on Canadian consumers and hospitality businesses,” the statement read.

Mark Carney had no choice but to go ‘elbows down’ – all our allies already have

Prime Minister Mark Carney loves to reach for hockey metaphors. He doesn’t always catch the right one.

Explaining why he was ditching most of the retaliatory tariffs against the United States, the PM said on Friday that “there is a time in the game when you drop the gloves,” to “send a message,” and a time when you “want to put the puck in the net.”

Elbows Up was just an empty slogan all along.

WARMINGTON: With ‘elbows up’ era over, it’s wonderful time for another election

We’re just four months removed from a federal election and Kevin O’Leary thinks it’s a wonderful time to call another one.

“Now everybody realizes that ‘elbows up’ is stupid,” said the Shark Tank star in an interview. “It’s stupid. We want trade, not ‘elbows up’ with Americans. Americans don’t hate Canadians and Canadians don’t hate Americans. That’s all BS.”
