GUNTER: Interim PBO’s refreshing frankness unlikely to win him full-time job

If you want to know whether the Carney government is serious about trimming the federal budget and being transparent, keep an eye on what happens to Jason Jacques.

Who is Jacques? Is he a senior economist whose advice everyone respects? A cunning investor whose every market move is mimicked by lesser investors? An opposition MP who might cross the floor to the Liberals?

Government seeks to retroactively change law, potentially avoiding paying veterans over federal error

The Carney government’s budget legislation contains an amendment that lawyers representing veterans say is a bid to cover up a decades-long error that led to overcharging for long-term care.

“Instead of owning up to their error, they are trying to change the rules after the fact,” said Malcolm Ruby, partner at Gowling WLG and co-counsel in a proposed class-action lawsuit seeking damages for an estimated tens of thousands of veterans.

“Retroactively changing legislation is like a thermonuclear weapon that the government has in litigation, that no other litigant has.”

Canada’s instructions to submarine contract bidders highlight ability to float, submerge at least once

Canada’s instructions to submarine contract bidders highlight sustainment, economic benefits

Canada has formally issued firm bidding instructions to the two companies vying to build the navy’s new submarines, CBC News has learned.

The document went out to ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) of Germany and Hanwha Ocean Co. Ltd. of South Korea last week.

James Rourke, an official in the newly established federal Defence Investment Agency, acknowledged the document, which specifically outlines the federal government’s expectations and how the decision will be weighted, was delivered to both qualified bidders.

If they go with the South Korea bid it’s got to include BBQ, and the German bid, lots of strudel and beer.

Carney government ‘analyzing the results’ of firearms buyback pilot project amid reports of low uptake

OTTAWA—The Liberal government refused Wednesday to say how many banned weapons have been collected in the trial for its contentious gun buyback program, as federal sources and local reports suggest minimal success, raising concerns about how the roughly $750-million scheme will unfold on a national scale.

The Liberals kickstarted the long-delayed program with Cape Breton, N.S. as its testing ground last month, hoping to collect 200 guns and evaluate its system, but the small-scale pilot has been met with pushback and little uptake from frustrated gun owners.

Mark Carney’s Failing Grade

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney recently presented his first budget. It follows nearly a decade of ruinous economic policy under Justin Trudeau, which resulted in Canada suffering by far the worst real GDP per capita change of any country in the G7 from 2015 to 2025 and a collapse in business investment so that in the second quarter of this year, machinery and equipment investment per worker in Canada was less than one-third of what it was in the United States.

Given the failures of the Trudeau decade, Carney signaled ahead of his budget that he was prepared to do some things differently. Unfortunately, not all of his changes were positive.

He is also Canadian.

You know your EV Strategy is an abject failure when you lose the Commies …

$50-bn in Subsidies has Failed to Secure EV Jobs, Investment or Future

n October 16, 2023, it was all smiles for the cameras in Loyalist Township where politicians and corporate executives gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony to build a new $2.761-billion Electric Vehicle battery parts plant. Loyalist Township, located next door to the Kingston, Ontario, is named after the Loyalists who, 250 years ago, sided with the British King against the American Revolution and crossed the St. Lawrence River to settle in Upper Canada.

The smiling politicians in Loyalist Township included Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his economic minister, Vic Fedeli, as well as Kingston’s Liberal Member of Parliament, Mark Gerretsen, and Trudeau’s federal industry minister, François-Philippe Champagne. Even the Belgian Ambassador was there. The politicians were boasting of 600 construction jobs, 700 permanent positions, and 700 student co-op placements.

Longish read but lots of good data …”communists make excellent critics but poor theorists”

Terry Newman: Carney should mend relations with the U.S. before cozying up to China

At the end of October, Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC summit in South Korea. The Prime Minister’s Office said the two leaders agreed that their meeting “marked a turning point” in the relationship between Canada and China, with both pledging to “resolve outstanding trade issues and irritants” and co-operate on a wide range of issues, from “clean and conventional energy, to agriculture, manufacturing, climate change and international finance.”

Canada’s highly skilled immigrants are leaving the fastest: report

At a time when Canada is defending itself in a trade war with the U.S., a new report casts doubt on whether the nation’s immigration policy is able to retain the global talent required to bolster the economy on the home front.

Highly educated and skilled immigrants are the most likely to leave Canada within five years of landing, according to a new report commissioned by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC).

In a report released Tuesday titled “The Leaky Bucket 2025,” the ICC found that one-in-five immigrants leave Canada within 25 years of being accepted as permanent residents. The trend, referred to as “onward migration,” peaks at the five-year mark.

Every last one of these of “panic” articles is a call for more cheap foreign labour nothing more.

All of the skilled immigrants brought here to date can’t have helped much given Canada’s obvious declining fortunes.

China’s New World Order: Michael Kovrig on how Beijing is trying to undermine the West

Kovrig is a senior advisor at the International Crisis Group and a former Canadian diplomat, but he is best known to Canadians as one of the “two Michaels” who were detained by Chinese authorities in 2018, in response to the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou at the Vancouver airport on a U.S. extradition request.

“I was detained by state security officers when I was coming back from dinner and they abducted me and held me hostage for 1,019 days,” said Kovrig. “I spent about nearly six months in solitary confinement, being relentlessly interrogated, and then another two years in a detention centre, confined to a single cell.

The idea of a mixed fleet of Canadian fighter jets should not take flight

Canada is apparently considering acquiring a mixed fleet of fighter jets. But this decision is being considered without any real strategic thinking.

Economic considerations seem to be taking precedence over military imperatives, even though several experts and military leaders strongly recommend a single fleet of F-35s, which is considered more consistent with continental defence needs.

Liberals survive crucial confidence vote on budget in win for Carney

The House of Commons narrowly voted to approve the federal budget Monday, ensuring Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government survives into the new year.

The confidence vote was a crucial test for Carney’s ability to hold onto power, as all opposition parties had expressed at least some displeasure with the spending plan.
