Canada Had Largest Debt Increase Among G7 Countries Over Last Decade: Fraser Institute

Canada’s total government debt has grown substantially since 2014 and has outpaced nearly every other advanced country’s around the world, according to a new study from the Fraser Institute.

The study, “The Deterioration of Canada’s Finances Internationally” released May 15, compared Canada’s finances during the last 10 years to that of 40 other advanced countries internationally, including G7 countries. The authors found that Canada experienced one of the largest increases in government size over the last decade and now has one of the highest debt burdens of any advanced economy country.

This is how Canada is being run under the LPC.

UK, Canada, France Gang Up On Israel, Demand Ending IDF Operation as Hamas Stalls Hostage Talks

The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada ganged up on Israel, telling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the military operation in Gaza as the terror group Hamas rejects one ceasefire offer after another.

Our Elites allowed the Barbarians through our gates and have now granted them victory.

Carney’s window of political opportunity for pipelines is short

The Quebec government is open to an oil pipeline.

More than that: In a podcast interview last week, Premier François Legault mused about building a pipeline to an export terminal in Sept-Iles, on Quebec’s North Shore.

“Could we imagine having a pipeline that goes through northern Quebec which could end, for example, in the port of Sept-Iles?” Mr. Legault said in the interview.

I doubt we will see a pipeline built during WEF Boy’s tenure.

Big streamers argue at CRTC hearing they shouldn’t have Canadian content obligations

A group representing major foreign streaming companies told a hearing held by Canada’s broadcasting regulator on Friday that those companies shouldn’t be expected to fulfil the same responsibilities as traditional broadcasters when it comes to Canadian content.

The Motion Picture Association-Canada, which represents large streamers like Netflix, Paramount, Disney and Amazon, said the regulator should be flexible in modernizing its definition of Canadian content.

Mark Carney is ignoring the cartels – and Donald Trump

The cartels have switched from the Mexican border to the Canadian border

Donald Trump has declared war on the cartels. The southern border is now patrolled by the military, the wall is rapidly expanding and US intelligence is helping to target crime bosses on Mexican soil. Illegal crossings and drug seizures at key points have dropped by more than 70 percent in the last year.

But, contrary to appearances, the cartels have not surrendered – instead, they have pivoted, applying Sun Tzu’s principle: attack your enemy’s weaknesses, not his strengths.

Led by the blood-soaked and ultra violent Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartel they are exploiting the soft 5,525-mile long northern border with Canada and its sparse surveillance, dense forests, inadequately staffed crossings and neglected checkpoints.

The usual suspects will be making profit from policy no doubt.

Canada wants to join Golden Dome missile-defence program, Trump says

Donald Trump says Canada has asked to join the missile-defence program his administration is building, adding a new chapter to a long-running cross-border saga.

The U.S. president dropped that news in the Oval Office on Tuesday as he unveiled the initial plans for a three-year, $175 billion US project to build a multi-purpose missile shield he’s calling the Golden Dome.

“Canada has called us and they want to be a part of it,” Trump said. “They want to hook in and they want to be a part of it.”

Canada should rid itself of all weaponry and disband its armed forces to protest Israel’s Gaza incursion!

BRADLEY: The ostriches in the coal mine

If you want a litmus test for how broken Canada’s institutions are, look no further than British Columbia’s latest disgrace: the impending state-sanctioned slaughter of hundreds of ostriches.

In a stunning act of bureaucratic brutality, the B.C. government — with the blessing of the courts — has decided that mass extermination is preferable to negotiation, relocation, or even basic common sense. Their justification? A single bird tested positive for avian flu. Their method? Shotguns. Their message? Obey, or be erased.

Peter Menzies: With mainstream media in bed with the Liberals, Canada needs independent journalism more than ever

If not for independent media, Canadians would have no insight whatsoever into the increasing codependence between the nation’s news organizations and the Liberal Party of Canada.

What began as what was billed as a harmless and temporary little tax credit to help major publishers through a period of digital transition has grown so minaciously that major titles are now openly displaying concern for their financial sustainability should the Liberals lose an election.

CHARLEBOIS: How the feds made your groceries more expensive

It was expected, but still jarring. In April, food inflation in Canada surged to 3.8% — a full 2.1 percentage points above the national inflation rate, and nearly double the U.S. rate of 2%. Once again, food is the primary driver behind Canada’s headline inflation, amplifying affordability concerns from coast to coast.

Smith calls Quebec’s new openness to pipeline projects ‘a massive breakthrough’

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith believes the conversation around pipelines is shifting, following recent comments by Quebec Premier François Legault sharing an openness to develop projects in his province.

Speaking on her weekend morning radio program, Your Province, Your Premier, on Saturday, Smith said she has been trying to lobby Legault to further develop Quebec’s natural gas resources.

“Every time I saw him, he said, ‘There’s no social acceptability for it,’ until recently,” Smith said.

Canadians have no appetite for another election, want parties to work together: poll

Canadians have no appetite for another election within the next year, and want the Liberals and opposition parties to work together to ensure voters don‘t have to go back to the polls soon, a new poll has found.

Eight out of 10 respondents to the survey, conducted for The Globe and Mail by Nanos Research, said they would prefer that the minority government and opposition parties work together so Canada does not have another federal election for at least a year.

Netanyahu blasts London, Ottawa, Paris for demanding end to war

(May 19, 2025 / JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday criticized the leaders of France, the United Kingdom and Canada after they warned of “concrete actions” unless Jerusalem halts its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“By asking Israel to end a defensive war for our survival before Hamas terrorists on our border are destroyed, and by demanding a Palestinian state, the leaders in London, Ottawa, and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on Oct. 7, while inviting more such atrocities,” he said according to a statement from his office.

Canadians Fear Trump’s Tariffs Will Create a ‘Ghost Town’ in Ontario

When asked what their city would be without auto-parts makers, Pauline Ridley and Colleen Barrette, two union officials, quickly replied, “A ghost town.”

President Trump’s tariff war against Canada has unleashed widespread anxiety in Windsor, Ontario, the country’s auto-making capital. Much of it has focused on the fate of large vehicle assembly plants.

But the concern is just as high, or higher, throughout the roughly 100 smaller auto-parts plants in Windsor and the surrounding county that employ some 9,000 workers. By comparison, about 5,400 people work for the three auto factories in Windsor.
