Is Canada’s legal weed tied to a smuggling epidemic abroad?

PARIS—There is a brisk and growing trade between Canada and Europe, and it has nothing to do with American tariffs or Donald Trump.

Canadian cannabis is increasingly washing up on the shores of this continent, landing in its airports and being sold on its streets. It is part of an illegal-smuggling trend that authorities believe is tied to Canada’s 2018 decision to legalize the sale and consumption of marijuana.

That law made Canada a leader — the first among industrialized nations to permit recreational cannabis use. Now, Canada has developed an international black eye as a top source nation for the drug, which remains illegal in much of the world.

Trudeau pushed legalization. I’m betting because China wanted it.

Carney reaffirms Canadian support for Ukraine in first meeting with Zelensky

ROME — Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed Canada’s “steadfast and unwavering support” for Ukraine in his first meeting with the country’s president on Saturday in Rome.

His meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy was one of several sitdowns with world leaders taking place in the Italian capital, where Carney — a devout Catholic — has travelled to attend the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV. The Prime Minister is making a concerted effort to meet with other G7 leaders ahead of the global summit Canada is hosting in Kananaskis, Alta., next month.

Donald Trump’s envoy suggests talks ‘over the next couple of weeks’ will address the Canada-U.S. relationship

OTTAWA — Donald Trump’s new emissary to Ottawa struck a friendly tone toward his Canadian hosts in a speech at a business summit on Friday, where he dodged any direct reference to the trade war his president launched and alluded to discussions about how Canada and the U.S. can “move forward” with their relationship.

In a speech at the B7 Summit of business groups from G7 countries — a private sector preview of next month’s political summit of wealthy democracies in Kananaskis, Alta. — U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra spoke of his family connections to Canada and noted how his Dutch parents were “liberated by Canadians” in the Netherlands during the Second World War.

KLEIN: Extremist politics have failed Canada — trading competence with conflict and theatre

Canada has always been a country of balance — steady, practical, reasonable. But in recent years, that balance has been lost. We’re not just off course — we’ve let our politics be overtaken by extremes, and it’s costing us.

I’m not here to rant. I’m not here to attack. I’m here to lay out the facts. Because when you strip away the noise, the evidence is clear: We are a divided country, and while politicians argue over slogans and ideology, the fundamentals that make a nation strong are slipping away.

Islamic Supremacist Students Plotting to Penetrate Canada’s Healthcare System Exposed on Discord

In May 2025, Dawson College launched an investigation into violent and aggressive social media posts that were created by Islamists and their enablers on the social media platform Discord.

The Discord channel, called “MedServeur,” had over 1,400 members and was originally established to assist prospective Quebec medical school students with the admissions process. However, the channel became a hub for violent imagery, Islamic supremacist commentary, and hateful content targeting various groups.

CHARLEBOIS: Elbows up, food prices up — until feds quietly backed down

Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Canada’s food industry is now facing fewer counter-tariffs when importing products from the United States, except for orange juice, coffee and alcohol. For many, this came as a surprise. According to the federal government’s own records, on April 16 — in the middle of the election campaign — Mark Carney, not yet elected, opted to eliminate most of the retaliatory tariffs imposed by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

‘Effectively Bankrupt’ Canada Post should end daily door-to-door delivery, allow part-time work on weekends, report recommends

As Canada Post and the union representing its workers inch closer to another potential strike, a report by the commission charged with examining the Crown corporation’s finances has called for the end of door-to-door mail delivery to homes — one of the main reasons for the previous work stoppage in November.

But the report, authored by industrial inquiry commissioner William Kaplan, also says that daily delivery to businesses should be maintained.

The service cut would help the corporation’s overall bleak financial picture, the report notes, a situation it highlights in great detail.

China emerging as top customer for Canadian oil shipped via Trans Mountain Pipeline

China has emerged as the top customer for Canadian oil shipped on the expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline, ship tracking data shows, as a U.S. trade war has shifted crude flows in the year since the pipeline started operating.

China’s new interest in Canadian oil comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war has strained relations between longtime allies Washington and Ottawa. It also reflects the impact of U.S. sanctions on crude from countries like Russia and Venezuela.

‘It’s Outrageous That You Banned American Products From Your Shelves’

OTTAWA — Pete Hoekstra thumbs through an imaginary document, and pauses for effect: “This is a serious proposal — pile one.” Then he raises a second document. “I can’t believe this,” he guffaws. “This is a joke.” Straight to the discard pile.

That, says President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada, is how it will go — one way or another — when newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney submits a proposal on a revamped economic and security agreement with the United States.

DEA assessment fingers Canada as major fentanyl source as guns flow freely across Northern border

Blame Canada.

In its latest National Drug Threat Assessment, the US Drug Enforcement Agency is blaming Canada for a blizzard of illicit fentanyl from so-called ‘super labs’ located on this side of the border.

In its latest assesment, Canada was mentioned seven times as a source of drugs and precursor chemicals despite the DEA not mentioning Canada once in its 2024 report.

Leaked Canadian military report shows many new recruits are quickly leaving

The Canadian military insists it’s getting a handle on its recruiting crisis, but a new leaked internal report obtained by CBC News suggests many of those who come through the door quickly leave in frustration over the inability to get trained and into the job they want.

In addition, the effort to retain experienced soldiers, sailors and aircrew was dealt an important blow recently when a Department of National Defence office — set up to find ways to keep people — was defunded.

The struggle to recruit new members to both the regular and the reserve force has been a major preoccupation as the Forces face a shortage of up to 14,000 qualified personnel.

US recruiting has rebounded under Trump. Can’t imagine why!

Vancouver streets are full of so much human waste they need ‘poop fairies’ to clean it up

Vancouver, renowned for its natural beauty and laid back lifestyle, has a human waste problem so bad that businesses have hired “poop fairies” to speed the cleanup on city sidewalks.

Dodging human and dog waste has become a real problem for pedestrians navigating the city’s sidewalks, and it’s not just a problem plaguing the Downtown Eastside. The city’s own feces removal response program can’t seem to keep up so business improvement districts have hired the “poop fairies.”

The premier of Alberta province has offered separatists the tantalising prospect of a referendum. Will Trump get his 51st state after all?

Not so Ron Robertson.

The retired police detective and leader of the Independence Party looks forward to the day Alberta, an energy powerhouse often compared to Texas, is unshackled from the rest of the nation.
