In rare move, Poilievre’s Conservatives offer to work with Trudeau Liberals to fight foreign meddling in elections

OTTAWA—Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are offering to fast track Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s legislation to shore up Canada’s defences against foreign interference during elections in a rare show of cross-partisan spirit, placing renewed pressure on the Liberals to convince Canadians they are serious about the problem.

The bill was unveiled to much fanfare earlier this month, but with its provisions not set to come into force until a year after the bill became law, and given the standard length of the legislative process, criticisms surfaced quickly that it would be too late to have new safeguards in place for the next federal election, scheduled for 2025.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Young people are taught to hate Canada. Mandatory service could fix that

Call it smart, call it a stunt, it’s what everyone in Britain is talking about — and what we should be talking about in Canada.

If Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party wins his national election on July 4, all 18-year-olds in the U.K, will be required to complete a year of national service, either military or civilian. Thirty thousand teens would serve in the military and the rest would work for charities and community services. The plan, costing 2.5 billion pounds annually, is intended to foster “a society where people mix with people outside their own communities, mix with people from different backgrounds, different religions, different income levels.”

Under Trudeau it would be a variant of RuPaul’s drag show, or worse.

Ontario mom pulls Jewish daughter out of high school after antisemitic ‘culture’ event

An Ontario mother has pulled her Jewish daughter out of high school fearing she is no longer safe, saying the school is allowing and encouraging pro-Palestinian activists to display and promote threatening antisemitic messages.

“I live in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, and my child is not in school because she’s Jewish. That’s insane,” said Anissa Hersh, after withdrawing her daughter from Burlington Central High School last week

Conrad Black: Call for Canada to Recognize Palestinian Statehood Is Both Ridiculous and Wrongheaded

The stampede in many Western countries to champion the Palestinian cause has been a thoroughly nauseating spectacle of misdirected righteousness, faddishness, and racist bigotry.

This past week, following the announcement that Ireland, Norway, and Spain proposed to recognize a yet-to-exist Palestinian state, Canada’s New Democratic Party proposed that this country do the same. This was just reflexive political opportunism by the NDP. It is a new variant on the cowardly Western practice of purporting to support both sides in a war of life and death that only one side can win.

CSIS and Trudeau’s adviser clashed on foreign interference threat in 2021: report

Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn’t make it to the prime minister’s desk in 2021 because Canada’s spy agency and the prime minister’s national security adviser didn’t always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada’s intelligence watchdogs.

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) released a report on Monday evening pointing to several schisms in the flow of information between Canada’s intelligence agencies and the federal government during the last two federal elections.

The latest unintended, inevitable consequence of Liberal immigration policy

Canada has always been an outlier on immigration. That was true long before the Trudeau government. Compared to other rich countries, we had a relatively wide and open door. But around the door were walls, which were also higher than those in Europe or the United States.

Canadians were always concerned about controlling the border, yet very welcoming of immigrants. That sounds like a contradiction. It isn’t. Walls don’t block a door, they support it. No walls? No door.

Hong Kong national-security police recently threatened a man from the city, who is seeking refuge in Canada, after he reneged on a deal to spy for China on prodemocracy activists living in Vancouver, according to an audio recording obtained by The Globe and Mail.

NDP, unions urge Trudeau to introduce program letting illegal alien invaders stay

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and his party’s MPs joined unions and community groups Monday to ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to introduce a broad program that would let thousands of migrants living in Canada without valid documents remain in the country.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller is preparing a plan to discuss with the cabinet, which meets Tuesday and again before Parliament breaks for the summer in June. It would propose that people living in Canada without legal status – including former international students whose study permits have expired – be given a chance to regularize their status and gain permanent residence.

Canada’s new defence policy isn’t winning America over, analysts say

OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s new defence policy has landed with a resounding thud in Washington and it could be a sign that U.S. politicians are losing patience with Canada’s stinginess on defence spending, analysts say. 

A letter released Thursday by 23 Democrat, Republican and independent United States senators took Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to task for Canada’s defence spending, demanding that Canada meet NATO benchmarks requiring members to commit at least two per cent of their GDP to defence spending.

Tory insiders say fear of a Pierre Poilievre victory has Doug Ford considering an early election call

Premier Doug Ford is considering an early election call before the scheduled 2026 vote over concerns about cuts a future federal Conservative government might impose, the Star has learned.

Sources say Ford is worried that if, as polls suggest, Pierre Poilievre wins an election expected in October 2025, there would be reduced transfer payments to the provinces, a scrapping of

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s electric-vehicle strategy that is a cornerstone of Ontario economic policy and other slashed spending that would hurt the Progressive Conservatives.

Canada pledges visas for 5,000 Gaza residents related to Canadians

Canada said on Monday it would grant temporary visas to 5,000 Gaza residents under a special program for Canadians’ relatives living in the war-torn enclave, a preparatory move in case they are able to leave in the future.

That figure is an increase from the 1,000 temporary resident visas allotted under a special program for Gaza announced in December, the immigration ministry said in a statement, adding that many people had expressed interest.

‘It’s depressing being a 40-year-old stuck at home’: Why the dream of homeownership is fading for many Calgarians

By 2021, Ryan Fehr had grown tired of renting.

Fehr, 40 and a single dad, had just broken up with his girlfriend. He found there was no limit on how much landlords could raise the rent in Calgary, and he yearned to put down some roots in a house, especially for his then-two-year-old son, whom he had with his previous partner. It was also the middle of a pandemic. House prices were falling. Fehr felt he had a shot at earning his place in the vaunted club of homeownership.

Boo Hoo: Immigration protesters enter 4th day of hunger strike in Charlottetown

Dozens of foreign workers protesting changes in P.E.I.’s immigration strategy have entered the fourth day of a hunger strike in downtown Charlottetown.

The provincial government is cutting back on the number of workers it is nominating for immigration this year, from about 2,100 to about 1,600 — with a big drop in the number of hospitality workers in particular. More than 800 were nominated last year, and the plan is to nominate just 200 this year.
