Fugitive arrested at Toronto airport for crash that killed Manitoba mother, daughter: RCMP

A man who avoided Canadian authorities for more than nine months after being accused of driving a semi-trailer truck through a stop sign, causing a crash that killed a Manitoba mother and daughter, was arrested at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport on Thursday.

Navjeet Singh, 25, had been wanted since November for two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and one count of obstructing a police officer.

Carney says time is up for ‘elbows up’ as Canada drops many retaliatory tariffs on U.S.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said it’s no longer time for “elbows up” as he announced Friday that Canada will remove retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods covered by the existing trade agreement between the countries minus those on steel, aluminum and autos.

Carney said the move was designed to match the U.S. decision not to levy tariffs on goods that are compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), saying the countries had restored free trade on a “vast majority of our goods.”

Canadians got played.

8 months of fear, lies & elbows-up theatre manufactured to re-elect the Liberals.

Carney’s presser today exposed it all

43% voted Conservative & tried to warn the rest

Mark Carney was once ‘concerned’ about Trump. Now things have gotten worse than anyone could have guessed

In April, just days before he was elected prime minister, I asked Mark Carney whether Canadians ought to start worrying about the state of things down south.

“The U.S. system is one of checks and balances, famously,” Carney began. At the core of the American system of democracy, he went on, “is the rule of law.” He gave a small shrug: “I expect that to continue.” Without taking a beat, “yes,” the prime minister acknowledged, “I’m concerned.”

The Star is desperate to keep the Elbows Up fear mongering con alive.

Inside the Falkland Superlab: How RCMP Refusals to Cooperate With the DEA Fueled a Cross-Border Tariff Crisis

WASHINGTON — Canada’s federal police refused to investigate or cooperate with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration on a British Columbia fentanyl superlab probe tied to chemical-precursor shipments from China into Vancouver in late 2022, according to senior U.S. officials. More than a year later — only after the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Iranian-Canadian businessman Bahman Djebelibak and his Health Canada–licensed company Valerian Labs, naming them as part of a Chinese fentanyl trafficking syndicate that Washington sought to disrupt — did the RCMP finally open a siloed investigation. The force continued to refuse coordination or information sharing with the American agents who had initiated the case. In an exclusive interview, Derek Maltz, DEA Acting Administrator in 2025 with oversight of the matter, called the B.C. superlab case a “major disaster.”

Carney’s 100 days

Mark Carney changed Canada’s politics, quickly. He won a sudden Liberal leadership race, took power in five days and called a snap election – campaigning on a promise that he would change a lot more, fast.

His was a campaign built on a sense of a country in crisis, under threat from a U.S. president intent on levying punishing tariffs on Canada and undermining its sovereignty.

Mr. Carney argued that this crisis would require swift action. Comprehensive security-and-trade negotiations with Donald Trump. Sweeping away internal trade barriers. Launching major national projects. Redefining relations with the world. Building a stronger, more independent Canada.

Canada finally faces a basic question: how do we defend ourselves?

The second Trump administration has been worse than Canada’s worst nightmare. The largest military force in the history of the world, across a largely undefended border, is suddenly under the command of a president who has called for our annexation. Canada could not be less prepared. The possibility of American aggression has been so remote, for so long, that the idea has not been seriously considered in living memory. Donald Trump has focused on economic rather than military pressure, but the new tone in Washington is finally forcing Canada to ask itself the most basic question: how do we defend ourselves?

Dream on.

Crown to seek adult sentence for Montreal teen alleged to have planned terror attack on behalf of Islamic State

A 17-year-old male facing terrorism charges appeared in youth court Thursday, less than 24 hours after being arrested by 40 RCMP officers at his home in Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

He was flanked by three agents and held behind a barricade inside the courtroom at the Chambre de la jeunesse. He didn’t respond when spoken to and appeared aloof.

No reason to conceal the names of these little Darling.s

Carney government hires Democrats to learn how to speak to Republicans

If you need proof that the Liberal government doesn’t have a clue how to deal with the Trump administration, just look at this contract. Signed just over a week after Mark Carney became Liberal leader and days after he was sworn in as prime minister, it’s a complete waste of money.

Carney Liberals dropping countertariffs on U.S. goods covered by free trade deal

OTTAWA — Canada is dropping its countertariffs on the American goods that are covered by the free -trade agreement between the two countries, amid the ongoing trade war with the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday.

Carney made the announcement during a news conference Friday, following a virtual meeting of his cabinet, and the day after a discussion with U.S. President Donald Trump.

In a statement to CTV News on Friday, a White House official said the U.S. welcomes the move, calling it “long overdue.”

The official added they look forward to “continuing our discussions with Canada on the administration’s trade and national security concerns.”

Canada quietly admits what many suspected: Canada’s counter-tariffs hit CUSMA-exempt goods.

Today, Ottawa rolled them back—OJ, peanut butter, wine, etc.

If they were never allowed in the first place, why did Canadians pay higher prices for months?#cdnpoli #trade https://t.co/U8OE71uDbe

Canada joins call for Israel to halt settlement plan meant to crush Palestinian statehood

Canada and 21 other countries issued a joint statement on Thursday calling for the immediate halt of a recently approved Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank.

On Wednesday, the Israeli government gave its final approval of a 3,500 apartment expansion plan in a tract of land east of Jerusalem known as E1. The development has been under consideration for more than two decades, but was frozen due to U.S. pressure during previous administrations.

Doug Ford slams Stelco owner for supporting Donald Trump: ‘I got a problem with that guy’

As Premier Doug Ford rolled out $70 million to help steelworkers affected by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, he insisted “we aren’t going to kiss his backside.”

A feisty Ford also fired a salvo Wednesday at the head of Cleveland-Cliffs, the American parent company of Stelco, for endorsing Trump’s trade war against Canada.

“I love the workers, but their owner, I got a problem with that guy,” the premier said of Cleveland-Cliffs president and CEO Lourenco Goncalves.

Ford always knows the right thing to say.

Philip Cross: Why is youth unemployment so high? Government policies

Young people are struggling in the labour market for two main reasons: high immigration and high minimum wages

Young people have borne the brunt of the recent deterioration in Canada’s labour market. Youth unemployment usually runs at about twice the rate for adults, reflecting young workers’ lower productivity and inexperience at searching for a job. But now it’s nearly three times the rate for adults, which puts it at “crisis levels” according to some commentators.

The likely cause of this crisis? Government programs that have raised the minimum wage and sharply increased the supply of low-skilled foreign workers.

Our Titans of Industry, our so called “Business leaders” demanded and received more cheap foreign labour than was ever needed with no questions asked from the Liberal government.

They sold us out, all of us.

Facing Trump’s Threats, Mexico and Canada Draw Closer. Will It Last?

Mexico and Canada, pushed into a three-nation trade deal by their powerful neighbor in between, have for decades viewed each other with a mix of disinterest and distrust.

Now, their leaders, driven by President Trump’s extensive new tariffs and threats to their countries’ sovereignty, are talking about ways to team up.

“It’s very much an all-hands-on-deck approach to ensure that we are kick-starting” the relationship, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, Anita Anand, told reporters this month, alongside Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne.

Was Battle River-Crowfoot the last hurrah for the long ballot protest?

In attempting to give Monday’s federal byelection in Alberta the longest ballot in Canadian history, a group of electoral reform advocates may have instead created the shortest one — and with further policy changes possibly on the horizon, the future of such protests is unclear.

Elections Canada issued special write-in ballots — where voters simply fill in the name of their preferred candidate — after the group known as the Longest Ballot Committee organized over 200 candidates to run against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in Battle River-Crowfoot.

I’m sure it will be reborn next federal election and it will target conservatives.
