The competition focused on each fighter jet’s capabilities in defending the North American continent and the likelihood of success in various missions against modern military forces.
The F-35 got a score of 95 per cent on military capabilities, with a total of 57.1 points out of 60.
By contrast, the Gripen-E finished with a score of 33 per cent, netting 19.8 points out of 60, according to the Department of National Defence (DND) ranking obtained by Radio-Canada.
Elbow People hardest hit.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday his recent reply to a question about the state of trade talks with the U.S. — “Who cares?” — amounted to “a poor choice of words.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hammered the prime minister over his comment during question period in the House of Commons Tuesday.
“Before the election he promised ‘elbows up.’ After, it was, ‘Who cares?’ Before the election, he said the tariffs were an ‘existential crisis.’ Now he says they’re not a burning issue,” Poilievre said.
He says stupid crap for the Elbow People who consider this sort of thing a mighty victory.
Members of Parliament from multiple parties slammed Stellantis on Tuesday for failing to show up to a committee hearing about the federal government’s multimillion-dollar funding deals with the global automaker.
“I am incredibly annoyed that Stellantis has not been able to join us,” said Vince Gasparro, the Liberal MP for Eglinton—Lawrence. “This is incredibly frustrating and […] at this point, unacceptable.”
A company executive was scheduled to appear by videoconference before the House of Commons’ government operations and estimates committee on Tuesday morning. But that executive, Teresa Piruzza, never showed up over the course of the nearly two-hour public meeting.
Is the Liberal party’s foreign policy no longer feminist? People have been asking the question all week, ever since Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday that, “We have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy. Those are different points, but related.”
He subsequently clarified that gender equality remains a priority for Canada, but that things like gender-based violence are “an issue of justice,” and that, “Different countries put a different priority on it.… But by discussing strategies and approaches, my experience is that I think that’s part of our policy, as well.”
A deficit, disdain, and deception — unmasking the true cost of Carney’s leadership.
Our Prime Minister, a citizen of three countries, squeezed time from his many planet saving roles to return to Canada and fulfill his manifest destiny of leading the country in which he was born. Many recognized the dilemma — on one hand, a globalist propagating the fantasy of net zero — in his words — “will require a whole economy transition — every company, every bank, every insurer, and investor will have to adjust their business models.” His affinities, as Director of the World Economic Forum and several important roles with the United Nations, driven by a belief in net zero, are anathema to his “build Canada” theme.
Funny that his long held beliefs and objectives were mostly unmentioned during the leadership and general election campaigns. But he has now played his hand, and the examples abound.
So, farewell then, Chrystia Freeland, former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Canuckistan and protégée of Blackie McBlackface, who was PM until la Freeland stuck a shiv between his shoulder blades about an hour before she was due to deliver a budget last December.
At the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, over the weekend, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would no longer be conducting a “feminist foreign policy.”
Carney said that feminism would continue to be an “aspect” of Canadian diplomacy, but not the overarching mission.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are set to announce a memorandum of understanding on energy in Calgary Thursday, over the objections of B.C. Premier David Eby.
Mr. Eby said he spoke privately with Mr. Carney Monday, laying out three specific concerns about a heavy oil pipeline running from Alberta to his province’s northwest coast, but received no commitment that Ottawa would heed his objections.
OTTAWA — As the United States prepares to declare a contentious Islamic group a terrorist entity, pressure is growing here at home for Canada to follow suit.
On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump reinstated his administration’s intention to declare the Muslim Brotherhood — an Islamist organization founded in Egypt nearly a century ago — a terrorist organization.
Carney loves the Muslim vote nothing will be done in Canada.
Migrants’ rights groups call on Carney government to withdraw border security bill
The federal government’s border security bill is an open door to violate the rights of migrants and should be dropped, advocacy groups said on Monday on Parliament Hill.
Representatives of the Migrant Rights Network, the Canadian Council for Refugees and other groups held a news conference on Parliament Hill after failing to get on the witness lists for Commons committees studying Bill C-12.
“Bill C-12 proposes changes to nine pieces of legislation, is 70 pages long and yet has only been given three weeks of study,” said Karen Cocq, spokesperson for the Migrant Rights Network.
You can bet your tax dollars are funding these trough feeding parasites and of course the CBC platforms them.
Speculation out of Ottawa is that Melanie Joly could leave cabinet in a matter of weeks if the right appointment comes along.
According to multiple sources, Liberal and otherwise, Joly is looking to be appointed Canada’s Ambassador to France.
HALIFAX — Republican lawmaker Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina says it’s all good and well that Canada is finally meeting its NATO defense spending commitments, but Canada should make up for two decades of back dues — to the tune of $300 billion.
“Can we do a makeup payment for the 20 years of shortfalls as well?” Tillis told a Saturday panel at the Halifax International Security Forum, a international gathering of defense officials and security professionals.
The only money spent will be used to fortify Festung Ottawa against anticipated popular uprisings.
Chrystia Freeland may still hold a seat in the House of Commons, but politically and geographically, she appears already gone. With her new appointment as CEO of the Rhodes Trust in Oxford beginning in July 2026, Freeland is positioning herself for a future far outside Canadian public life while continuing to occupy a taxpayer-funded parliamentary seat she no longer intends to defend or actively represent.
It is a move that feels less like public service and more like a carefully timed exit from accountability.
“… The Senate of Canada allowed its space to be used for what was described as a tribunal on “Canadian responsibility.” In practice, it became a platform for speakers who have promoted antisemitic claims, defended terrorist violence, and spread bizarre, evidence-free accusations such as “rape by animals.” These are not fringe comments from an obscure website. They were spoken inside one of the most respected democratic institutions in our country. The room was booked by a senator appointed by the Prime Minister. Other senators were invited to join.”
Pitched as a great compromise for the environmentally conscious yet road-tripping driver, plug-in hybrids — or PHEVs — have a few problems.
For one, people aren’t plugging them in.
Study after study show these vehicles — which boast an electric motor for emission-free rides and a gas engine for longer range — are actually being used more in gas mode. This means they’re polluting a lot more than a customer might think.
The CBC continues to push the LPC’s EV lie.
