Welcome to January 2026, where the Canadian national pastime has shifted from hockey to the casual branding of fellow citizens as traitors. As federal leaders clutch their pearls in Ottawa this week, BC Premier David Eby has helpfully updated our national dictionary: apparently, when Albertans have a coffee with US State Department officials to discuss their economic future, it isn’t “diplomacy” — it’s a high crime against the Crown.
Earlier this month, the shocking video of a man shooting up a Brampton home while brandishing two pistols was the first time many had heard much about extortion rings.
Yet, in communities across Canada, especially those with a significant Indian immigrant population, extortion has been a rising concern for years now.
Carney wants the criminal alien vote bloc too much to enforce the law.
The vast majority of candidates on the ballot box for Canada’s 2025 election have stated they are certain that foreign agents were actively trying to sway people’s voting intentions one way or another.
According to data released from a Survey Of Candidates for the 45th General Election, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, nearly half of the candidates were also convinced that illegal funds were being used to interfere in the democratic process.
Most candidates, some 76 percent, said they were concerned with the spread of “false information online.”
As his flight departed from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport en route to Kuwait via Istanbul, Canadian crypto fugitive Andean Medjedovic was unaware that his globe-trotting lifestyle would soon be halted.
Just two weeks later, on Dec. 11, 2023, Dutch authorities issued a European arrest warrant for the then 21-year-old, alleging he had pulled off a “sophisticated hack” that netted him $48 million US in cryptocurrency.
… The fifth estate emailed Medjedovic to request a comment on the allegations against him.
He replied: “I have only one defence to the allegations: ‘I’m a racist.’ Please include that, that’s all, thanks.”
Another reason to avoid crypto.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and FBI Director Kash Patel have told differing accounts about the role of U.S. agents in the arrest of former Olympian Ryan Wedding
MEXICO CITY—Ryan Wedding was on the run.
Mexican security forces were closing in on the 44-year-old Canadian—a snowboarder who once competed for Canada in the Olympics but has since landed on America’s most-wanted list for allegedly running a vast cocaine-trafficking network—said Mexican and U.S. officials familiar with the operation.
Long protected by Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, Wedding suddenly had no options. By the time security forces caught up with him in Mexico last week, the officials said, members of the FBI’s Hostage
Rescue Team were also involved. Weeks earlier, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s elite, combat-trained unit participated in the capture of Venezuelan autocrat Nicolás Maduro in his heavily fortified Caracas compound.
An Indian man who attacked his girlfriend while living in Kamloops, B.C., on a work permit won’t be headed back to India thanks to a judge’s ruling.
Joyson Lewis pleaded guilty on Jan. 22 in Kamloops provincial court to one count of assault. According to prosecutors, the 25-year-old got into a physical altercation with his girlfriend in a vehicle on April 28, 2025.
Donald Trump said it was “very dangerous” for the UK to do business with China, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer arrived in Shanghai on the third day of his visit to the country.
…Beyond his brief comments, Trump did not say anything further about the UK’s engagement with China, pivoting instead to Canada and delivering a similar warning.
He said it was “even more dangerous, I think, for Canada”.
“Canada is not doing well. They’re doing very poorly, and you can’t look at China as the answer,” he added.
Odd language for a non-trade deal
BREAKING: Mark Carney confirmed Canada entered a NEW Trade Agreement with China.
This is after Mark Carney told the U.S. we did not — we only removed some tariffs.

Canadian conservative and political theorist William Barclay joins The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay to discuss the future of Venezuela, the relationship between Canada and the U.S., and the rising problems posed by progressive ideology and identity politics.
Sir Keir Starmer recently tried to take credit for his role in Donald Trump’s partial climbdown on tariffs relating to Greenland. Whether he played any meaningful part is debatable.
What is beyond doubt, however, is that Donald Trump will happily reach for the tariff weapon again whenever it suits him. Even against long-standing allies, and especially against those he believes are acting against US interests.
Just look at Canada and the increasingly heated rivalry between Trump and the country’s prime minister, Mark Carney. The president last week threatened eye-watering tariffs of 100pc on all goods and services entering the US.
Once again, without public notice or meaningful explanation, Health Canada has cleared a food technology that remains poorly understood by consumers. In recent days, the agency approved the sale of gene-edited pork in Canada—without any labelling requirements.
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura says the people of his state should consider leaving the United States. In an interview on the SpinSisters podcast that premiered Saturday, Ventura pitched his plan by saying that it’s clear President Donald Trump doesn’t want the state.
“How about since Trump dislikes Minnesota so bad and we’re so out of control, let’s join Canada. Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state of America and lose their healthcare…. I’d like to see Minnesota, all of us become Canadians,” Ventura said. Make this part of Canada, because it’s obvious Donald Trump don’t want us. It’s obviously he’s ready to fracture the whole country for his own folly.”
Minnesota has more commies than Canada.
I’m still processing how the world changed last week. President Trump’s wild threats against Greenland — and by extension against America’s NATO allies — crystallized for many leaders what they already believed but perhaps were too scared to say out loud: The rules-based international order is no more.
The man who said it out loud, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, became something of a hero in Davos. Today, I’m writing about what Canada’s efforts to pivot away from an increasingly volatile America can teach other countries.
The Canadian branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a global Islamist group, recently convened its annual conference, promoting a political project that sought the destruction of Western democracies and their replacement with a transnational Islamic caliphate. Themed “Khilafah Is Imminent: What Have You Prepared For It?,” the January 17, 2026, event was conducted online in a likely attempt to minimize scrutiny.
“Russia is without question a threat in the Arctic,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this month at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Without question, Russia does lots of horrible things.”
Russia, despite all the horrible things it does, is not able to challenge Canada without its partner. Carney was quick to name China as the biggest security threat to his country during a federal election debate last April. At Davos, however, he was not willing to talk about China posing a danger to his country.
Moreover, his foreign affairs minister was similarly reluctant. Anita Anand in Davos did not name names when reporters asked her to cite the top threat facing Canada.
