Ottawa’s national dental program is chewing through far more cash than expected, with federal officials admitting the scheme is now on track to cost 50% more than budgeted as millions of Canadians rush to book long-delayed appointments.

Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Most Liberals believe Poilievre’s their ticket to remain in government
OTTAWA–The drama of a budget vote had every political animal in the country on the edge of their seat.
And in the end, it was a cliffhanger. But in reality, the outcome should not have been a surprise to anyone.
Having just come off an election this past spring, there was zero appetite to go back to the polls for most political parties.
The only leader who could have benefited from an election is Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. A ‘no’ vote would have meant that his mandated January 2026 party review would be cancelled.
Canada is climbing out of Trump’s frying pan and into Xi’s fire
If Aesop was right that “a man is known by the company he keeps,” then Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government may be due for severe judgment.
Late last month, Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in South Korea, and accepted an invitation to visit China. Carney called the moment a “turning point” in the relationship. This follows the announcement that Beijing and Ottawa agreed to revive a “strategic partnership,” as Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand described it, after meeting with her counterpart in China earlier in October. The Canada-China relationship is heating up quickly.
Donald Trump’s fingerprints are all over Mark Carney’s Alberta deal
Basking in the glow of new-found friendship between Ottawa and Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith declared that this day would never have arrived if Justin Trudeau was still prime minister.
“I can tell you 100 per cent that the former prime minister would never have moved this far on these issues,” Smith said, after she and Mark Carney unveiled a whole new energy-and-environment deal between Canada and Alberta.
Immigration minister denies knowledge of U.S. diplomatic directive to get Canada, allies to lower immigration
Federal Immigration Minister Lena Diab says she’s unaware of a directive that was reportedly sent to the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa from the Trump administration ordering its envoy to press Canada to lower most immigration levels.
Asked if Canada takes advice from the U.S. when setting Canada’s immigration levels, Diab said she consulted for months with economists, department officials and stakeholders across the country when deciding Canada’s immigration levels going forward.
Who in their right mind would discuss immigration with the evil morons governing Canada, a nation they deliberately ruined by mass migration.

U.S. to Press Europe and Other Allies on ‘Mass Migration,’ Document Says
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered American diplomats in Europe and in Canada, Australia and New Zealand to press their host governments to restrict most immigration and to file reports if the governments appear to be overly supportive of immigrants, according to a document sent to U.S. embassies and consulates.
Mr. Rubio told the diplomats to emphasize the effects of criminal acts by immigrants to encourage greater entry restrictions, according to the document, which is a diplomatic cable dated Nov. 21. The text of the cable, which was obtained by The New York Times, has not been previously reported.
BORG: Lame duck Liberal MPs looking for international positions with cabinet shuffle coming
With a Liberal cabinet shuffle looming over the sitting MPs, several of Trudeau’s old guard are looking for a new cushy position in an ambassador or figurehead role to fall back on after they’re ousted.
It’s the kind of behaviour Canadians have come to expect from this government: when the public mood sours and the polls tighten, the Liberals don’t roll up their sleeves, they roll out their exit strategy.
Thousands of former international students’ visas will expire soon. What happens next is murky
Tens of thousands of international students who were granted postgraduate work permits will see their visas expire this year, casting doubt on their futures in Canada and leading economists to wonder if some will stay in the country as undocumented residents.
There were 31,610 people with valid postgraduate work permits in the country as of Sept. 30, and those visas will expire by Dec. 31, according to data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provided to The Globe and Mail.
Those numbers have recently come under scrutiny by economists and immigration experts because it’s unclear how many temporary residents remain in the country after their visas expire, adding to the undocumented population.
Mark Carney drops Trudeau-era climate measures in energy deal with Alberta
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is scrapping plans for a major national climate policy and immediately suspending another in Alberta alone, as part of a wide-ranging accord that softens federal measures for the oil-rich province and sees Ottawa throw its support behind a controversial new pipeline proposal.
It marks a significant shift in the federal government’s approach, placing peace with Alberta over imposing national regulations that were favoured under Carney’s predecessor as prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
No pipeline will be built.
Guilbeault quits Carney’s cabinet over energy deal with Alberta
Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault has quit cabinet over the federal government signing Thursday’s memorandum of understanding with Alberta, which jointly agrees on a path forward for a new bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast.
“I chose to enter politics to champion the fight against climate change and the protection of the environment,” Guilbeault wrote in a lengthy statement on social media.
The Quebec MP had been serving as official languages minister, the minister of Canadian identity and culture — and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Quebec lieutenant.
This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec.

GOLDSTEIN: Our climate emperors have no clothes
When five independent examinations of the federal Liberal government’s industrial greenhouse gas emission targets conclude they are unachievable, when does it become acceptable to state the painfully obvious — that the targets are a farce?
Deportations to be reported to Parliament each month under Conservative changes to border bill
Ottawa would have to report to Parliament every month on the number of foreign nationals who have been deported, including those with criminal convictions, under changes to the government’s border bill pushed through by the Conservatives.
A slew of amendments to Bill C-12, including boosts to immigration enforcement, passed in a marathon meeting of the Commons public safety meeting on Tuesday evening, where MPs scrutinized the bill until midnight.
We can hope the number will not be zero …

Lorne Gunter: Despite MOU, Carney sets up West Coast pipeline push to fail
There is every indication that Carney is as anti-oil as his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, despite all his talk of building an energy superpower
The federal government will do nothing to get a pipeline built. That much is clear from the advanced reports about what is in the MOU (memorandum of understanding) that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are expected to sign Thursday in Calgary.
Once Alberta has everything in place (constitutional, Indigenous, environmental, regulatory and financial), then the Carney government will consider giving the pipeline to their Major Projects Office (MPO).
Liberal government spent at least $530 million on NextStar battery plant: documents
The federal government has paid out at least $530 million in incentives to NextStar Energy, the company behind a major battery plant in Windsor, Ont., records show.
It’s a relatively small portion of the billion-dollar funding deals with NextStar, which is a joint venture between global automaker Stellantis and South Korean battery firm LG Energy Solution. The federal government is providing up to $10.5 billion, while the province has pledged up to $5.5 billion.
Still, the figure provides fresh insight into the financial and contractual relationships between the federal government and NextStar — relationships that have been the focus of intense scrutiny since Stellantis announced it’s moving production of a Jeep model from its Brampton facility to the U.S.
Jamie Sarkonak: Foreign criminals keep getting their deportations cancelled
When he was about 22, a Jamaican national and Canadian permanent resident impregnated his 13-year-old stepsister. She said he forced himself onto her, he said he didn’t remember; you be the judge. She had a child. This happened in 2007, and in 2008 he was convicted of sexual interference and sentenced to five-and-a-half months.
Why Canadian bosses love hiring foreign workers
Douglas Todd: Low-skill guest workers toil longer hours, with fewer absences, for less pay than Canadian domestic workers, which means wages go down for everyone, says a peer-reviewed study.
Rarely a week goes by without a small or large Canadian company declaring how desperate it is to hire foreign guest workers.
The country’s “labour shortage” is brutal, they say. Business survival is impossible without willing workers from offshore, complain the owners of hotels, fast-food restaurants, security firms, supermarket chains and construction companies.
Fact: Canada’s corporate class was given license by the Liberal government to flood the nation with cheap foreign labour.
They did so without care or concern that they were destroying your economic and social well being and that of your children.
All to satisfy their greed but Elbows Up eh?
