For more than four decades, I have sat across the table from financially distressed Canadians. For most of that time, the people who came through our doors had a debt problem. Something had gone wrong. A divorce, an illness, a layoff, a stretch of poor decisions. We could usually name the event that put them in the chair.
That is changing. More and more of the people we meet cannot point to an event at all. Nothing went wrong. Their budget simply no longer works.
REGINA — Canada’s establishment has spent years telling Christians to keep their faith private.
Don’t pray here. Don’t mention Jesus there. Rename the Christmas concert. Drop the Lord’s Prayer. Tone down the Christian language. Make everything “inclusive.”
Yet a Regina mosque has been permitted to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers in the heart of the city.
On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court of Canada delivered a little surprise package: it has agreed to entertain the Alberta government’s appeal of Wirring v. Law Society of Alberta, a 2025 decision in which the province’s appeal court struck down the requirement for prospective lawyers to take an oath of allegiance to the sovereign.
Canadians have had a front-row seat to Donald Trump’s daily assault on the rule of law. We’ve watched as Mr. Trump unleashes ICE and Border Patrol agents as his own private paramilitary force, ripping people of colour off city streets, unlawfully detaining citizens and leading to multiple deaths, including those of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
We’ve seen Mr. Trump politicize the Justice Department, interfere in prosecutions to persecute his enemies and immunize his friends and supporters.
A Saskatchewan member of the legislative assembly takes home about $46,000 more than the average Saskatchewanian who pays the bill.
But taxpayers don’t need to shell out six-figure salaries to provincial politicians to have a functioning government.
Mark Carney’s dramatic escalation of military spending will change Canada — far more than has been acknowledged.
Without any clear assessment of our military needs, the prime minister has embarked on a massive military spending spree, which has suddenly immersed us in plans to spend $100 billion on submarines, and billions more on fighter jets.
All this has redrawn the boundaries of our national ambitions, redirecting vast resources into military firepower, forcing us to shrink our dreams of other things we could achieve together as a nation.
I guess we’ll be OK if we sing “Imagine” as the ChiCom tanks roll down Yonge St.
The owners of Nöam, a kosher restaurant in Montreal that was extensively damaged by fire in the early hours of Saturday morning, are urging the public not to jump to the conclusion that it was an act of antisemitism.
Montreal police are investigating the fire as a suspected arson and have not yet publicly established a motive, said co-owners Ynon Cohen and Meir Azerad in a statement emailed to National Post.
Those assuming that things will magically become better for Canada if, as expected, the Democrats recapture the House of Representatives in the midterm elections should think again.
The Democrats are protectionists on trade and on many issues, are opposed to Canadian interests.
The lefty Canadian illegal immigrant who slapped a teenage girl at the Jersey Shore wearing pro-Trump clothing embarrassingly failed to raise half the money requested for her legal fund.
An online fundraiser for Kaitlyn Tracey’s legal expenses in her immigration case only raised $4,857 of its $10,000 goal — a final, humiliating blow as she was ordered to be deported back to her home country on Tuesday.
Canadian provincial politicians are vastly overpaid compared to their U.S. counterparts, but their electors have little to show for it, according to a new report released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
The Subnational Politician Pay Report looks at average salaries for provincial and state politicians across Canada and the United States.
After decades of waiting, political debates, and construction delays starting back in June 2018, the Gordie Howe International Bridge officially opened on July 26, 2026. Connecting Michigan’s Interstate 75 directly with Ontario’s Highway 401, this modern engineering marvel was supposed to revolutionize cross-border shipping between the US and Canada. There is just one tiny, hilariously corporate catch: if you drive a semi-truck for Stellantis’ logistics arm, FCA Transport, touching that shiny new asphalt could cost you your job.

OTTAWA — A former Ontario man and a Conservative U.S. think tank are encouraging the Trump administration to offer refugee status to Jewish Canadians who feel threatened by rising antisemitism here.
“With the urgency around the challenges and the inaction we see in Canada, an asylum pathway makes sense,” said Joe Roberts, the executive director of Jewish Tulsa, a group that has helped welcome Jews like himself to the Oklahoma city.
Roberts said thousands of Canadian Jews are seeking to escape constant fear over the firebombing of Jewish schools, temples and businesses.
REMIGRATION.
The federal government is advancing the process to designate Alberta’s proposed oil pipeline to the West Coast as a project of national interest.
A notice published in the Canada Gazette on Aug. 1 marks the start of a notice period to designate the potential pipeline as a project of national interest under Bill C-5.
That law requires the government to launch the 30-day notice period and consult with the government of the province or territory in which the project will be carried out before listing it under Schedule 1 as a project of national interest.
Lloyd Robertson, the stoic and “trusted” voice of CTV National News for 35 years, has died at the age of 92.
Sometimes, you can get a little too “Elbows Up.”
Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, the Canadian mega-wokie who attacked an American teen girl decked out in pro-Trump gear on July 3 on a New Jersey boardwalk, will be deported back to Canada. A Texas immigration judge ordered Tracey to go home on Tuesday, after she entered a guilty plea to misdemeanor simple assault — part of a deal she made after she was arrested for her involvement in a caught-on-camera fracas with four teens.
How the plot thickens… Kaitlyn Tracey—the Canadian who attacked an underage girl celebrating the 4th of the July, while on an expired visa and in the USA illegally—is clearly seen on video here striking the girl wearing what appears to be an America 250 shirt and blue shorts. pic.twitter.com/hakGGCMtnj
