Mark Carney supports the latest attacks on Iran. Don’t expect the Canadian public to share that view

As I write this late Saturday morning, news is still coming in about the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The targets reportedly included senior regime figures and missile infrastructure. Iran has responded. World leaders are trading statements. The situation feels fluid and dangerous.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has reacted in a way that is far different than how former prime minister Justin Trudeau likely would have responded. Carney reaffirmed that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, reiterated Canada’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself, and backed U.S. action aimed at preventing further regional destabilization. At the same time, he urged protection for civilians and emphasized the need for stability.

I think annexation of the willing is looking better and better. I don’t want to share air with Mullah Regime supporters.

WARMINGTON: Iranian-Canadian activist’s gym shot up hours after ayatollah’s demise

The overnight shooting at a boxing gym run by a well-known activist for Iranian freedom is being investigated by York Regional Police.

But since it occurred just hours after the announced death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following military strikes by the United States and Israel on Tehran, a call to the federal government and CSIS as well would seem to be appropriate.

America Has Occupied Canada, in the Creative Mind of a Toronto Artist …

A speculative public art series that began in alleyways and on buildings and a tennis court fence is opening as a chilling new show at Western University.

Last winter, as Canada was becoming the persistent target of economic, verbal and social media attacks from President Trump, the Toronto multimedia artist Dara Vandor got to work imagining a nightmarish scenario — the annexation of Canada by the United States.

She hung the result — an aluminum plaque, 18 by 24 inches, memorializing a fictitious surrender on Aug. 11, 2031 — in an alley near her home. She did not expect to be continuing the narrative in the continuing series “Pax Americana” a year later.

For nine months Ms. Vandor produced and posted 18 historical plaques in stairwells and a forest, and on buildings, telephone poles and chain-link fences in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Tofino, British Columbia. The signs recounted disturbing scenarios: an invasion by U.S. troops, a Canadian resistance and then a quick surrender in straightforward, chronological detail. Each plaque can stand alone, but taken together they tell a whole story.

A Paint by Numbers effort using her elbows would be more creative than this tedious exercise in Knee-Jerk Anti-Americanism.

I doubt Trump has much interest in acquiring the dumpster fire that is southern Ontario or yet another TDS suffering “creative”.

Why are MAiD deaths so high among white Canadians?

In Health Canada’s most recent annual Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) report of 2024, of the 15,927 patients who disclosed their race, 96% were white — so, one has to wonder, is this some sort of trend?

And if it is, what’s causing it?

This is what Peter Frost, an independent researcher with a PhD in anthropology, tried to find.

Drug use and overdoses run rampant in Canada’s public libraries

The Central Library at Hamilton, Ont., is home to six sprawling floors of literature and learning, with a mission statement that includes innovation, respect and inclusion. Though delivering on those values is becoming increasingly more challenging according to the library’s CEO.

“Ultimately, it’s been the drug consumption that has been really problematic and really disrupting our ability to be a public library,” says Hamilton Public Library CEO Paul Takala.

Since December, paramedics have been called to the Hamilton Central Library 105 times. Security have administered life saving naloxone to individuals who’ve been overdosing on 44 separate occasions.

This Is Not a Drill: China Is Building a Base in Canada (and Possibly the Catskills)

As we are distracted, fecklessly try to convince the liberal mental bellyflops on Facebook that, anyway they slice it, Trump wasn’t one of Jeffrey Epstein’s pedos, the Chinese are taking advantage of our botheration and have been creating, quite successfully, a forward operating base (FOB) in Canada, and it’s less than 500 miles from the United States. Even worse, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Canadian government is in on the commie caper to hand Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) over to the filthy Chinese communists who seek to, with Islam, take over the world.

Vast majority of residents would vote to remain in Canada if referendum held in their province: poll

The vast majority of Canadians say they would vote for their province to remain in Canada if a referendum were held, but support for sovereignty is, unsurprisingly, the highest in Quebec and Alberta, according to a new poll.

The poll for CityNews, conducted by Canada Pulse Insights, found that 87 per cent would prefer to remain part of Canada. However, in Quebec and Alberta, nearly one in four people said they would vote for sovereignty.

Pakistani refugee who returned to his homeland six times wins chance to keep Canadian status

A Federal Court judge set aside a ruling by Canada’s Refugee Protection Division (RPD), saying it failed “to engage with a critical piece of evidence” when it revoked a Pakistani man’s refugee status after he returned to the country on multiple occasions.

Irfan Ahmad arrived in Canada under the “convention refugee abroad” program in 2014, citing his status as a member of the Ahmadi community, a persecuted Muslim minority group in Pakistan.

Energy-hungry India tells Carney ‘we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering’

India wants to buy any energy product it can from Canada, and its officials are urging the federal government to streamline approvals for various projects so it can tap into new supplies to feed a rapidly growing country with relatively few natural resources of its own.

That’s the message India’s high commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, relayed in an interview with CBC News before Prime Minister Mark Carney left for a five-day visit to the country.

It’s a trip that will be laser-focused on cutting new business deals and getting negotiations for a free trade agreement underway as part of a push to diversify from the American market.

Indigenous man who cleaned up after murder bragged Gladue ‘discount’ would half his sentence

An Indigenous man who bragged to an undercover cop about the Gladue “discount” that would cut his penalty in half for helping to clean up after a Calgary murder has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, even though the Crown was looking for as much as 10.

A jury convicted Jason Leo Tait of being an accessory after the fact to murder in the death of Keenan Crane. He was acquitted of manslaughter.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Canada didn’t become poorer than Alabama ‘out of nowhere’

Some Canadians clutched their pearls so hard they nearly shattered last week, after The Globe and Mail published a deep dive into how, as its online headline read, “Out of Nowhere, Canada Became Poorer Than Alabama.”

There was some debate about whether analyses showing that our GDP per capita had recently fallen behind Alabama’s is enough to declare us poorer (GDP per capita is a nation’s economic output divided by the population, and is used to determine a country’s standard of living). But the real source of righteous indignation was far more revealing: the idea that Canada’s moral and social standing is so superior that such data can’t possibly reflect reality and, even if it does, it doesn’t matter.

Canada’s global performance rankings are in freefall

There is an ongoing debate over whether Canada is doing better economically than Alabama, based on their relative GDP per capita, with many on the Canadian Left arguing that our country’s economic performance and quality of life look much better when other factors are taken into account.

Unfortunately, this argument misses the mark. When we expand our comparisons beyond Alabama, it quickly becomes apparent that GDP per capita is, if anything, overstating the relative state of our economy and wellbeing relative to our global peers.
