Carney Lied: LNG Canada to use Chinese steel on $33-billion expansion project in Kitimat, B.C.

LNG Canada will once again use Chinese steel for the “specialized fabrication capability” it says it requires for its $33-billion Phase 2 expansion project in Kitimat, B.C.

When the proposed expansion led the list of early projects referred to the new federal Major Projects Office in September 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters these ambitious building projects would be “at the heart of our new, comprehensive Buy Canadian policy.”

In fact, the joint venture will buy more components from the state-owned China Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd. (COOEC), which also manufactured its first two liquified natural gas processing units, known as trains, now in operation.

West Coast oil pipeline becomes 1st project designated in national interest

A proposed pipeline carrying one million barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the B.C. coast has become the first project designated in the national interest, the federal and Alberta governments have announced.

Listing the West Coast Pacific Link oil pipeline on Schedule 1 of the Building Canada Act means the federal government has moved from considering whether it should be built to how it will be built by fast-tracking and consolidating the approval process, including environmental assessments.

High-speed rail costs could reach $113 billion, 25% more than estimated for slush fund, PBO warns

OTTAWA — A new report by Ottawa’s fiscal watchdog warns that the planned high-speed rail project from Toronto to Quebec city could cost as much as 25 per cent more than the Carney government’s highest estimates.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) estimated in a report released Thursday that the project’s costs would run between $75-billion and $113-billion, compared to the government’s estimated range of $60 billion to $90 billion. The upper end of the PBO’s estimated range is 25.6 per cent higher than the government’s.

Ottawa sends a message to Canada’s military: The days of automatically buying U.S. gear are over

In May, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the Swedish company Saab would be Canada’s preferred supplier for its surveillance aircraft. Last week, the government signed a preliminary agreement to purchase six of Saab’s GlobalEye planes, using Canadian-supplied Bombardier jets as the base.

The GlobalEye was one of three contenders for the multibillion-dollar contract. The other two were American.

Jamie Sarkonak: Commons report recommends DEI by stealth

This month, the House of Commons committee on science and research recommended a ban on diversity quotas in federal research programs, along with all references to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the granting process. But you should probably hold your cheers: that very same committee has also suggested an even tighter embrace of DEI.

Carney signals plan to crank up Canada’s immigration intake

Carney signals plan to crank up Canada’s immigration intake

OTTAWA — Time to re-open the gates.

That’s what Prime Minister Mark Carney implied during a recent interview with the New York Times, suggesting that Canada’s immigration system is ready to start ramping up intake.

“We’ve taken measures to get that under control and we have it under control,” Carney said during his sit-down last week with 10 New York Times reporters.


Carney is damn liar.

Ottawa is shifting its stance on ‘anti-Zionism’ — and the reactions so far are mixed

OTTAWA – The federal government has identified “anti-Zionism” as a driver of anti-Jewish hate — a major policy shift that has prompted a range of reactions.

The change took place on Sept. 24 when Public Safety Canada published a progress report on federal efforts promised in January to combat antisemitism.

The report said Ottawa sought to do a better job of recognizing and responding to “contemporary manifestations of antisemitism, including anti-Zionism.”

Tory MP Says Steel Layoffs Raise Questions About Closer Beijing Ties and China’s Steel Dumping

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Is Mark Carney Preparing for an American Invasion?

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. I am going to mention Canada again. I know we’re getting tired of this subject because, after all, Canada is our closest ally, closest friend, the country that is most like the United States, or so we’ve been told. But [Prime Minister] Mark Carney is doing things that we have never seen or heard before in Canada.

Truth and Reconciliation Day is built on unproven claims and anti-Christian bigotry

Truth and Reconciliation Day is built on unproven claims and anti-Christian bigotry

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation has become a state-enforced hoax that targets Christianity. The full force of government messaging, media, and public institutions now blames the Christian faith for a uniquely evil crime. A set of unproven accusations has been used to justify hostility toward an entire religious community, resulting in vandalism and church arson. What does the evidence show?

Michael Higgins: Carney Liberals grudgingly admit antisemitism is a problem

The Carney Liberals are to be commended on finally taking concrete action to tackle the scourge of antisemitism, but as recent fatal and terrifying events have shown, the lateness of their initiative has allowed the ancient hatred to flourish. 

We must also wait to see if the new tools will be adequate for police who will have the difficult job of enforcing the law. 

The federal government recently released a progress report on its National Commitments to Combat Antisemitism. In its introduction, the report makes clear just how deeply entrenched antisemitism is in Canada.

My advice to Mark Carney? Beware of Europeans bearing gifts. It doesn’t always end well

My advice to Mark Carney? Beware of Europeans bearing gifts. It doesn’t always end well

Have you ever had a really good friend, maybe a few years older, with whom you did everything together? You did each other’s hair. Did each other’s nails. Fought fascist militaristic governments together. Negotiated free trade deals with each other. And then, something happens. Your bestie develops a new set of priorities, and you aren’t one of them. And they become quite bizarrely bitchy about it. For reasons unknown, they take their soft wood lumber and go home in a huff.

Only at the Star.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced $1.2 billion in federal funding for ocean protections Tuesday, as the country moves toward decisions on a new pipeline to the West Coast and the expansion of a major port in Metro Vancouver.

The major projects would mean “more ships on the water and more pressure on the habitats that we are all working to protect,” Carney said.

“We must scale up our systems to protect marine life in the event that something goes wrong,” he said.
