Carney says U.S.-Russia diesel supply deal hurts Ukraine  ̷p̷e̷a̷c̷e̷  grift cause: PMO

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today about U.S. President Donald Trump’s new diesel fuel supply agreement with Russia.

The Prime Minister’s Office says the two leaders discussed the new agreement for Russia to supply millions of tonnes of diesel fuel to the United States, which Trump announced on Friday.

The PMO says Carney made clear this agreement runs against the efforts of Canada and its allies to end the war in Europe by providing Russia with new revenue.

Envoy says France admires Carney’s U.S. stance

OTTAWA – France’s new ambassador to Canada says her country admires the Carney government’s response to “extremely radical” American demands and is calling for swift action to boost Canada’s strategic ties with Europe.

“My mission is very clear. It’s to work toward making France one of Canada’s closest allies in Europe, in each field, in every sector,” French Ambassador Hélène Farnaud-Defromont told The Canadian Press on Friday.


France is an economic and social basket case currently beset by migrant lead civil unrest.

Good choice Carney.

Geoff Russ: Don’t compare today’s immigrants to the Loyalists of early Canada

Geoff Russ: Don’t compare today’s immigrants to the Loyalists of early Canada

“Our Loyalist ancestors were immigrants,” wrote journalist Stephen Maher on X earlier this week. He was defending the possibility of ramping up immigration into Canada, imploring his counterparts to understand that Canada’s standard of living will suffer without a drastic increase in the population.

Considering that the decline in Canadians’ standard of living has been commensurate with creeping mass immigration, his proposition invites suspicion.

Ottawa declassifies new details about CIA’s role in resettling Nazi war criminals in Canada

The government has declassified portions of a report on the resettlement of Nazi war criminals that reveal new details of how dozens of people, including those suspected of collaboration with the Third Reich, were helped to come to Canada after the Second World War through a secret CIA program.

The newly declassified information sheds more light on the role American intelligence agencies played in facilitating the settlement of Nazi collaborators in Canada, in some cases by providing false identity papers. Sections of the report kept secret for decades also reveal new specifics about the number of people thought to have entered the country with U.S. covert help.

Trump may be gearing up to blame Canada for GOP midterm losses

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The political pendulum appears to be swinging left south of the border, with November’s midterm elections expected to give Democrats a House majority. Depending on how a few toss-up races go, Democrats may also have a credible path to winning control of the Senate.

Some Republicans, meanwhile, are already wondering how the party might respond to those losses.

When the Evidence Changes, the Threat Assessment Must Change Too

When the Evidence Changes, the Threat Assessment Must Change Too

OTTAWA — New information does not simply add detail to an assessment.

It can change the assessment itself. An initial report may contain little more than a communication alleged to contain a threat. Investigators may not yet know whether the material is authentic, who sent it, whether the sender possesses meaningful capability, what their intent may be, whether they have access to the target or how likely the threatened action is to occur.

Block after block of death and despair. This is Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where all hope is now lost

They are rolling a dying man on a stretcher out of the Maple Hotel. He looks to be about 60 years old, unshaven, wild grey curls, filthy white socks. Electrodes are patched to a hairless chest and a monitor seismographs the agonal beatings of a beaten-down heart. The tattoo on the patient’s right forearm reads KILL TO LIVE.

“What have you got here?” I ask one of the EMTs as he sheds his antiviral poncho to reveal a crisp blue uniform beneath. “This is the Downtown Eastside,” he replies. “What do you think we’ve got?”

Prices on the Rise: Thanksgiving Meal Will Cost You 10% More This Year

Preparing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this weekend may require Canadians to dig deeper into their wallets than last year, a new study suggests.

A traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner for four is estimated to cost 10 percent more this year than in 2025, according to a report from food professor Sylvain Charlebois and the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.

Last year, the cost of cooking turkey dinner for four rose 18 cents, from $32.30 in 2024 to $32.48. This year, though, the cost is up 10 percent at $35.72.

Canada drops sponsorship of conference that talks of U.S. as foreign interference actor

The Canadian government has withdrawn its sponsorship of an anti-disinformation conference in Lithuania that feature panels talking about the United States as a foreign interference threat.

Samantha Lafleur, a spokesperson for Global Affairs, said the government wasn’t comfortable with the framing of some of the panels and Canadian officials will still take part in the conference but will not chair any discussions.

“Following changes to the framing of several panel discussions, Global Affairs decided to revise its participation in those sessions at the EU DisinfoLab 2026 conference,” Ms. Lafleur said in an e-mailed statement.


A rare outbreak of common sense.
