It was frigid and snowy when Kimberly landed in Toronto from Uganda, seeking asylum with her four-year-old daughter.
They only had enough money to stay at an Airbnb for three days. The single mother kept calling the city’s emergency hotline, but all shelters were full.
When Kimberly finally mentioned that her child couldn’t bear the cold outside, the person on the phone said the best they could do was to bus her and her daughter to a hotel in Niagara Falls.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mark Carney granted Bloomberg News an “exclusive one-on-one” sit-down interview. On Wednesday, he sat down with the New York Times at its Manhattan headquarters to discuss his vision for diversifying Canada’s trade. In both interviews, failed trade negotiations with the U.S. were discussed.
Notably, the same opportunity has not been provided to Canadian media. Instead, outlets here have only been given the opportunity to ask harried questions at short press conferences, and like our fellow Canadians, were recently spoon-fed a pre-recorded “Forward Guidance” video meant to reassure us, without specifics, that our PM had made the right choice.
Much of the US press is even more infected with TDS that Canada’s MSM.
This guarantees the kid gloves treatment and makes him look like an international man of mystery to his Elbow people.
WASHINGTON — With just hours to go before import bans on certain Canadian goods were set to take effect, U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he thinks he can make a trade deal with Canada in the coming weeks.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he thinks the Canadian side will contact him in the next three or four weeks and the United States will “win everything.”
"They're going to come in and they're going to say, 'Sir, we are sorry.'"

Keep Dec. 14 in mind for a possible federal election.
It sounds crazy given that Mark Carney’s Liberals have a majority government, one they could expand with upcoming byelections. Yet there are a number of reasons, real and political, that make an early election feasible.
I was 18 when I moved to Canada as a Nepalese international student, carrying two suitcases and a simple dream: to study, build a career and eventually call this country home. However, I didn’t fully understand when I first arrived how uncertain and emotionally exhausting the journey to permanent residency could be.
While I studied psychology and international relations at the University of British Columbia, I interned at the Canadian Cancer Society and worked as a research assistant in a lab. I said yes to opportunities, built connections and slowly started to feel like I belonged here.
I didn’t know Canada had a crisis level shortage of psychology and international relations majors.

Canada’s former top military commander considered resigning “several times” during his tenure in battles with the former Trudeau government over the sexual misconduct scandal, and the lack of commitment towards defence spending.
Retired general Wayne Eyre’s new memoir, Into the Breach: A Soldier’s Journey, also peels back the curtain on the internal debate that took place over how to end the convoy occupation of downtown Ottawa in early 2022.
Neil Herland has worked for the CBC, Canada’s state-owned media corporation, for 29 years. He is also Jewish. And today, for the first time in his 29-year career, his employer has taken him off the air, seemingly at the behest of a Muslim advocacy organization. What the hell is going on with freedom of speech in Canada?

From the very start of the Quebec election campaign, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon made it clear that immigration would once again be one of the defining issues. By proposing to cut the number of temporary immigrants in the province by half and reduce permanent immigration to roughly 35,000 people a year, the PQ leader has reignited a debate that, predictably, quickly became polarized.
It took only a few days for the discussion to move away from the proposed levels and from Quebec’s actual capacity to welcome and integrate newcomers. Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal was quick to ask the PQ leader to define “what is a Quebecer?” Liberal leader Charles Milliard, for his part, accused PSPP of operating in a “gray zone” when discussing immigration.
More than 1,000 people stood outside for hours waiting for job interviews for the new east Windsor Costco on Wednesday.
The lengthy and ever-growing line began at the front door of the Serbian Centre, where the job fair was held, and snaked along two sides of the venue’s large parking lot and up hundreds of metres of sidewalk on Catherine Street.
Canadians are still leaving in near record volumes. Statistics Canada (StatCan) data shows emigration—citizens and PRs leaving permanently—rose in Q2 2026. In fact, it was the third highest outflow for the second quarter ever reported. Even fewer Canadians are returning, mirroring the country’s peak “Brain Drain” era. Except this time the numbers show this rise wasn’t a shock, but a trend with few signs of slowing anytime soon.
Hell, Carney barely lives here.
Spending. Then covering it up.
They will spend an added $38 billion this year over last.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) calculates the federal government will spend $594.8 billion in 2026-27 And much of that — nearly $65 billion — will be borrowed money.
Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that pivoting our economy away from the U.S. would come at a cost to Canadians and the latest numbers show that’s true.
An Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report released last week downgraded Canada’s expected economic growth by 25% for this year and by almost the same amount in 2027 – 23.53% – compared to its last report in June.

Canada is reducing its economic reliance on the United States by diversifying its ties, including renewed partnerships with China and India, under a policy of “values-based realism,” because
Ottawa “can no longer afford to be overly reliant on any one partner,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand told the United Nations on Saturday.
The Foreign Minister’s speech to the UN General Assembly reflects Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government’s efforts over the past 18 months to rebuild ties with Beijing and New Delhi after years of diplomatic disputes.
Anand works for India and China not Canada.
I bet no more than 5 people were in the audience.
