A petition set to be presented in the House of Commons this fall calls on the government to declare the U.S. ambassador persona non grata and remove him from Canada.
The online petition accuses Pete Hoekstra of making statements that undermine the Canada-U.S. relationship and of intervening in Canadian political discourse in a manner inconsistent with diplomatic protocol.
In late July, a Canadian woman of Chinese descent was arrested in Belgium on serious charges of espionage for China while serving as an intern with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Canadian media have identified the woman as Biwei Zhang, also known professionally as Claire Zhang or Catina Zhang.
Reportedly born in China, she later became a naturalized Canadian citizen. Zhang has a background in systems engineering, computer science, and economics. Before starting her internship at NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Mons, Belgium, in July 2025, Zhang worked at the Canadian Space Agency and Statistics Canada.
It will not get better.
Canada has to purge the nation of incompatible cultures that have been embedded in sensitive positions and that won’t happen without annexation by the US.
The bodies of over 1,000 Quebecers went unclaimed last year. What’s going on?
Called in as the chaplain for a dying woman a few years ago, Father Rodney Clark recalls the harsh administrative reality that immediately followed her death.
The woman was homeless and had chosen medical assistance in dying at the Joliette, Que., hospital after her cancer metastasized.
But with no relatives around or financial resources, her body was essentially abandoned.
A medal awarded to a high-ranking Royal Canadian Air Force officer is raising questions about this country’s involvement in the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
Late last month, the Government of Canada announced that Col. David K. Turenne, a former CF-18 fighter pilot, had been approved for the Meritorious Service Cross. That medal recognizes military deeds “performed in an outstandingly professional manner, according to a rare high standard that brings considerable benefit or great honour to the Canadian Forces,” according to its official description.
Fake news – Canada has no working fighter jets
As you get older sometimes you realize how odd you are — or at least different. Take me and religion.
According to new polling by veteran sociologist Reginald Bibby, my spiritual trajectory has not been at all normal in North America.

Despite all the trade-war rhetoric and “51st state” comments from the White House, Americans on the whole still have positive feelings toward their neighbours to the north. But from this side of the border, it’s a different picture.
A poll by Canada’s Angus Reid asked people from both countries about their perceptions of the other. It found that almost half of Canadians hold a negative view of Americans, with 29 per cent choosing “unfavourable” and another 19 per cent “very unfavourable.”
Matt Ridley recently argued that the defining political struggle of our age is no longer simply Left against Right. It is top-down control against bottom-up freedom. Government should protect rights, enforce contracts, and set fair rules. It should also possess enough humility to let people solve their own problems.
That argument could have been written for Alberta.

A former informant for a Marxist-Leninist military junta that ruled Ethiopia for 17 years, and who acknowledged that people he reported on were arrested and imprisoned, with some of them subjected to interrogations, beatings, and torture, has won another chance at staying in Canada.
Two Saskatchewan men have been found guilty of human trafficking for exploiting a woman from Bangladesh who worked in their restaurants.
Mohammed Masum, 44, and Sohel Haider, 55, were taken into custody on Friday after Judge Miguel Martinez announced his verdict in Saskatoon provincial court.
“Both of the accused exploited [the woman’s] vulnerability for their respective material benefit,” Martinez said.
A large majority of Canadian parents did not vaccinate their kids against COVID-19 in the past year, according to a recent report by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Previous PHAC data indicate the trend has continued years after pandemic-era vaccination campaigns ended.
The latest survey report released in March, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter, found that 81.7 percent of parents or guardians of children (under 18) said their kids had not received a COVID-19 shot in the previous year.
Less than six weeks from now, Canada will have 24 hours to try to sway a captive audience of the world’s financial power brokers that the country is ripe for more investment.
The inaugural Canada Investment Summit, scheduled for Sept. 14 and 15 in Toronto, will be a rare moment for Canada. Led by Prime Minister Mark Carney and two of the country’s largest pension funds, it is expected to draw the kind of crowd that normally only gathers en masse in Davos, Switzerland or Los Angeles.
For generations, Canadians have viewed the Arctic as a distant wilderness defined by ice, isolation, and breathtaking landscapes. It has been a source of national pride, but rarely a source of urgency. Protected by geography and separated from the world’s major centres of power, we assumed the North would remain secure simply because of its remoteness.
Clad in a black bulletproof vest, a gun clasped to his hip, Tim Thayer gently pushes down the throttles of four 350-horsepower engines — and the 18,000-pound U.S. Customs and Border Protection boat jumps to life on the Detroit River.
Thayer is a marine interdiction agent, part of a team that patrols the waterways that make up the Canada-U.S. border in this part of the country.
He’s assigned to the Detroit sector, an area that encompasses Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The border with Canada here is entirely water — all 1,388 kilometres of it — which poses a unique challenge.
Garnet Harper passed away on May 22, 2026, but the story of his tragic death will now live on to save the lives of other Canadians who are being refused life-saving surgery if they happen to be unvaccinated by Pfizer’s mRNA’s still being distributed vaccine–which killed more people than the COVID-19 so-called ‘pandemic’.

Both Canada and the U.S. have been quietly shadowing two Chinese icebreaking research ships in Arctic waters off Alaska over the last couple of weeks.
The Xue Long (Snow Dragon) and Xue Long (Snow Dragon) 2 sailed north through the U.S. exclusive economic zone in the Bering Sea in July, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The appearance of Chinese research ships every summer in the Arctic Ocean over the last few years has been a subject of growing concern among security and defence officials.
