How Canada’s economy is choking from federal regulations: 7 graphs

Regulatory reform is a rare common ground in Canadian politics. The Carney government launched a red tape review last year and reversed several Trudeau-era regulatory policies. Cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc has publicly criticized how red tape holds back the economy, while Pierre Poilievre has made cutting it a centrepiece of his economic pitch.

A recent survey by the Business Council of Canada found that nearly half of CEOs identify the domestic regulatory burden as the single most important factor influencing their investment decisions—higher than CUSMA uncertainty—topping the list in every survey wave since 2023.

Why the massive Liberal poll leads might be an illusion

As the Liberals enjoy some of the most explosive polling leads in Canadian history, a leading pollster is suggesting that it’s mostly a product of mathematical error.

This week, Abacus Data CEO David Coletto suggested that many of his peers are chronically undercounting Conservative voters, presenting a “distorted version” of the electorate to the public.

Young woman says Canadian university banned her for listening to a conversation about Iran war

A Canadian woman says she has been banned for life from the University of Guelph in a violation of her Charter rights because she overheard a private conversation that her father had about the Iran war with some Muslims.

Sarah Dotzert, a young conservative activist, posted a YouTube video about her ordeal through her organization, Unify Action. She explains just how far the university went in political correctness by banning both her and her father.

Avi Lewis demands Mark Carney ban stores from using personal info to set prices

OTTAWA—Taking aim at major corporations in his Parliament Hill debut, new NDP Leader Avi Lewis demanded Monday that Prime Minister Mark Carney ban what he called an “unfair” and “downright creepy” practice of “surveillance pricing,” where retailers use data to tailor prices to individual consumers.

With emerging digital tools already under scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators across the U.S., businesses have reportedly been able to hike prices and maximize profits by using artificial intelligence and algorithms to personalize prices based on things like a customer’s search history and demographic information.

Globe wants masked Death Cultists to teach your children

The two teachers

Nadia Naqvi, the oldest and fiercest in a family of five children, was born in 1981 in Montreal. Her father, who emigrated from Pakistan in the 1970s, instilled in his children that he was the immigrant in the family.

You are just Canadian, he would tell them, and if anybody asks, you’re Canadian-Pakistani. Always put the Canadian in front, he’d say. But growing up in Montreal’s suburban West Island, Ms. Naqvi never felt fully Canadian. She was bullied more times than she could count, called a “Paki” and “smelly.”

Doug Ford says Mark Carney’s majority means ‘a stronger hand’ against Trump

Premier Doug Ford says a majority federal government means Prime Minister Mark Carney “has a stronger hand to deal with President (Donald) Trump and the tariffs that we’re facing.”

Speaking to reporters at Queen’s Park, the Progressive Conservative premier said the three Liberal byelection victories on Monday would help Carney in the upcoming review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and in the ongoing trade war with the U.S.

With a record-low 1.25 children per Canadian woman, stop dismissing falling fertility rates as a choice

Whenever we speak on our podcast about the falling fertility rate, inevitably we hear from viewers saying that the cause is simple: people are choosing to have fewer kids. They point out that countries all over the world are dealing with this collapse, and there is no solution. It’s a nice, tidy explanation that takes away the need for action. If people are choosing fewer kids, that must be their preference, and we can’t do anything about it.

We don’t think it’s that simple.

As Eric Lombardi recently argued, young Canadians are living through what he called a “milestone recession,” as traditional markers of adulthood, such as stable careers, homeownership, and family formation, are delayed—if ever reached at all.

Can’t bomb your way out of a logistical bottleneck

When officials from the United States and Iran walked away from negotiations in Pakistan this weekend with no deal on the Strait of Hormuz, markets didn’t wait for clarity. They reacted. The subsequent announcement by United States Central Command of a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports was meant to reassure. Instead, it raised more questions than answers.

Markets, as they often do, may be reading this correctly.

Canada must stop being a safe haven for Iran’s enforcers

On March 6, the body of Masood Majoody, a mathematics professor at Simon Fraser University and a vocal critic of the theocratic Iranian regime, was found in Mission, B.C. He went missing on Feb. 2, a victim of suspected foul play.

Police have now arrested and charged two individuals, Mehdi Razavi and Arezou Soltani, alleged to have ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a branch of Iran’s military responsible for internal repression and overseas operations, with his murder.

Democrats Aren’t Far Behind Canada In Efforts To Ban Christian Speech

Canada’s dominant Liberal Party has introduced legislation that may soon make Christian speech illegal.

In March, the Canadian House of Commons passed Bill C-9, also known as the “Combatting Hate Act.” The bill was introduced under the guise of mitigating antisemitic attacks in the wake of Hamas’ violent attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Liberals claimed it was developed to protect religious communities, but C-9 eagerly expanded to prohibit public displays of “hate,” including “Islamophobia, homophobia, and transphobia.” The Canadian Liberals have used so-called hate speech as a Trojan horse to enact censorship laws — the same thing American Democrats are trying to do here.

Panama Canal Shows Cold War Playing Out in Slow Motion

The struggle over Panama is not a trade dispute. It is a pre-kinetic tug-of-war between Beijing and Washington — and Canada should be watching.

OTTAWA — The Panama Canal is one of the great arteries of the world economy, a narrow thread of water through which roughly five percent of global maritime trade passes each year. For three decades, the ports at each end of it — Balboa on the Pacific, Cristobal on the Atlantic — were operated by a subsidiary of CK Hutchison, the Hong Kong conglomerate controlled by the family of billionaire Li Ka-shing. That arrangement ended this year when Panama’s Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, the government physically seized the terminals, and Beijing erupted in fury, threatening that Panama would “pay a heavy price.”

On patrol with Canadian forces securing the Arctic as global threats grow

A simple row of spruce trees marked the finish line for Canadian army reservists and combat members after a marathon two months pushing through one of the harshest environments on Earth: Canada’s vast Arctic.

The patrol, which ended on Friday in Churchill, Manitoba, was the largest northern mission in the history of the Canadian Rangers – a branch of the Canadian Armed Forces responsible for monitoring the country’s remote regions. For 5,200km (3,200 miles), they moved across the Arctic, following a route that had not been attempted in 80 years.

They drove snowmobiles across ice-covered terrain, navigating blizzards and high winds as they travelled for hours between remote northern communities. Some nights, they camped on the ice in tents as temperatures plunged to -60C (-76F).

LILLEY: Tories can thank Donald Trump with Mark Carney on verge of majority

By the time Mark Carney turns off the light and heads to bed Monday night, he will know for certain that he is presiding over a majority government.

Carney and his Liberals currently have 171 seats in the House of Commons; the three byelections taking place Monday should give them 174 seats. That is still a tight majority, but it’s a majority nonetheless.
