In the same week Ottawa revealed that immigration numbers weren’t contracting nearly as much as they’d said, Prime Minister Mark Carney mused about raising them back to never-before-seen highs.
Earlier this year, Government of Canada figures showed that, for the first time, Canada’s population had contracted over the course of a calendar year. In 2025, according to those estimates, the Canadian population had gone down by about 102,000.
The Canadian Armed Forces is not just facing a recruitment crisis—it’s facing a rebellion. A damning confidential report obtained by Wiretap Media from a confidential source reveals that middle management and troops are mounting what can only be described as a revolt against upper management’s DEI agenda. At the same time, senior officials cover up the catastrophic failure of their diversity initiatives by blaming “white supremacy” and “extremism.”
The pitch began with a prayer.
On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta’s most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.
It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.
And Carney has hired his pal Maia Johnson who just happens to be an ex Democrat party operative.
AND SO IT CAME TO PASS that after years of liberal overreach, identity politics, open borders and international timidity, a non-politician was swept to power promising to make his country great again, restore its global prestige and put the economy first.
Yes, Mark Carney and Donald Trump have more in common than either of them would thank you for pointing out. The relationship between their two nations will dominate Canada’s domestic political landscape long after the present incumbent of the White House has left the scene.
It’s bad form, in writing, to mix your metaphors. But this summer, speaking to an array of people in and around the Carney government, there were two I kept hearing used to describe how things work in Ottawa these days, both of them apt.
One is the ancient parable of the blind men and the elephant. Each man touches a part of the pachyderm, and each comes to a different conclusion about what the mysterious object really is. The man who grabs the trunk think it’s a snake, the one holding a tusk thinks it’s a spear and so on.
TORONTO—Weeks before a referendum on Alberta’s future in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday sought to strengthen ties with the province by designating a proposed oil pipeline to the Pacific coast a “project of national interest,” a move that speeds its regulatory approval process.
Separatists in the oil-rich prairie province have pointed to longstanding disaffection with the federal government’s energy and climate policies, which they say have constrained the oil-and-gas industry, as a key reason they champion independence. The province will vote on Oct. 19 on whether to stay in Canada or to start the process of holding a second, binding referendum on leaving.
Canadian senators are costing taxpayers extensive amounts for overseas trips even though Members of Parliament are regularly representing Canada on the same trips, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
A national overview of province-by-province senator overseas travel, released by the CTF this week, states that international trips undertaken between Jan. 16, 2023 and March 17, 2026 by 65 senators cost Canadian taxpayers $1,850,420. Overall, says the CTF, senators have nearly doubled their international travel spending in the last two years, with the costs climbing 88 per cent from $391,095 in 2023 to $736,165 in 2025, according to its analysis of parliamentary financial disclosures.
It’s “Loot The Treasury Time” in Canada.
Internal federal documents offer insights into how Ottawa is assessing the economic fallout from the possibility of Alberta separating from Canada and becoming an independent state.
The documents from Finance Canada and the Justice Department also shed light on the consequences being considered from the uncertainty caused by Alberta separatism.
Finance Canada briefing notes, released to CBC News through access to information legislation, detail the federal government has been quietly studying the impact of a possible $18-billion fiscal shock, corporate head office flight and a mass exodus of Albertans to neighbouring provinces if Alberta exits the federation.
Based on their record, Canadians should get very nervous whenever the federal Liberals start talking about increasing Canada’s immigration levels, again.
Particularly so when Prime Minister Mark Carney casually signals the Liberals are about to do it not in Parliament, but in an interview with the New York Times .
Back when he was running for Liberal leader, Carney said excessive immigration under his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, was one of the reasons the Canadian economy was in bad shape before U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff war.
All Carney wants is to depress wages and falsify the GDP.
The great negotiator has served up a decrepit economy.
OTTAWA — A newly revealed leaders’ statement pre-written for next month’s Canada-EU summit does not use “associate member” for the escalating love affair between the Carney government and the European Union.
That term, floated by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s apparent surprise two weeks ago in Strasbourg, is nowhere to be seen in the proposed declaration, labelled “as received from Canada,” that was circulated to EU ambassadors by the European secretariat in charge of talks.
Obtained by Politico’s Brussels-based reporters and published Wednesday, the Sept. 22 document reveals that the EU chief and the Canadian prime minister plan instead to formally launch a “Canada-EU Alliance for the Future” when the summit concludes on Oct. 30.
Full document below.
Prime Minister Mark Carney appealed to common values like democracy and reliability when he called for deeper trade and defence ties at the European Parliament earlier this month.
But some experts say with the rise of far-right parties on the continent, key European allies may not always share those values — and Canada should keep that possibility in mind as it crafts its alliances.
Canada is diversifying its trade relationships around the world amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade war. But many far-right politicians in Europe share Trump’s views on migration, isolationism and minority groups, say political scientists.
Typical far left CBC Fear Mongering Drivel.
There was a time when I thought Canada’s immigration policies were superior to the United States’.
For decades, we have placed far too much weight on things like family reunification, and far too little on recruiting talent. For decades, Canada had more selective policies, and it benefited greatly.
Canadians are skeptical of the federal government’s proposed plan to privatize some of the country’s major airports, according to a new Nanos Research survey for CTV News.
According to the data, more Canadians oppose allowing private investors to operate Canada’s four largest airports than support it.
“Very cautious. It’s a mixed bag,” said Nik Nanos, founder and chief data scientist at Nanos Research.
Building another oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast has always been in the national interest – on Thursday, it became official.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, standing in Fort McMurray with Premier Danielle Smith, declared that the West Coast Oil Pipeline, now known as Pacific Link, would become the first project deemed in the national interest under the Building Canada Act.
Canadians are feeling relatively “jaunty” in the face of a trade war with a country they now view as an adversary and no friend, even while saying they feel worse off than they did a year ago, according to a new poll of more than 10,000 Canadian adults.
Most believe Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government are best suited to handle trade negotiations and American designs on Canada, and most voters overall feel the Liberals are making headway and “doing some good things” — or they’re at least giving them the benefit of the doubt that they will.
