Should politicians be able to hike taxes without standing up to cast a vote?
Thanks to a 2017 policy implemented by Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, that’s exactly what happens every year with alcohol taxes.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Carney Liberals push Bill C-16 that could criminalize normal family conversations
Mark Carney’s Liberal government wants to control everything. With Bill C-9, they seek to remove the religious exemption for prosecutable hate speech; MP Marc Miller specifically cited Bible passages as examples. With Bill C-16, they could open the door to criminalizing conversations between family members after the fact.
The new Bill C-16 (not the 2017 bill of the same name, which prohibited “hate speech” on the grounds of “gender identity and expression” and made Dr. Jordan Peterson famous) has been titled the “Protecting Victims Act,” and was introduced by the Liberals in the 45th Parliament. It has not attracted much attention, but as MP Leslyn Lewis recently highlighted, it may have far-reaching effects.
Military men facing terrorism charges prepared for zombie apocalypse, informant alleges
New information from an informant in the case involving three men accused of facilitating terrorism in Quebec City revealed they were planning for a supposed zombie apocalypse.
The information, provided as part of an ongoing case still before the courts, comes from a former member of the group Hide & Stalk — an alleged anti-government Instagram group of current and former military members.
Yuan Yi Zhu: Face it, Carney just doesn’t know much about Canada
Mark Carney received worldwide praise for his speech at Davos, in which he threw down the gauntlet against Donald J. Trump’s destructive politics. His speech, a couple days later on Canadian unity at the Plains of Abraham will not receive such international attention, but it is far more revealing of the fundamental flaw of Carney as a politician. For all his intelligence and credentials, Carney simply doesn’t know much about the country he governs.
Carney definition of ‘capital’ recognized by nobody else on earth, says budget watchdog
In their pursuit of a budget that prioritizes “capital spending,” the Liberals have adopted a definition of “capital” recognized by no other advanced economy on earth.
This was according to recent testimony by Jason Jacques, Canada’s interim Parliamentary Budget Officer.
Ottawa hires hundreds of foreign students as Canadian youth unemployment climbs
Federal departments hired nearly 900 foreign students in a single year despite official warnings that Canadian students are struggling to find work and facing rising unemployment.
Blacklock’s Reporter says records tabled in Parliament show the federal government employed 889 foreign students in 2024, the most recent year with complete data, even as the Treasury Board acknowledged Ottawa is supposed to prioritize Canadians.
Records show feds hired 889 foreign students a year while lamenting high jobless rates for Canadian students. @TBS_Canada noted federal employers were supposed to hire Canadians first.https://t.co/Z6MA9oLp9Y@ESDC_GC @CitImmCanada @VincentHo #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/Tqrq7y1a8s

If this doesn’t make you despise the Liberal Party nothing will.
LILLEY: Carney Liberals must wake up and deal with Canada’s growing extortion problem
Earlier this month, the shocking video of a man shooting up a Brampton home while brandishing two pistols was the first time many had heard much about extortion rings.
Yet, in communities across Canada, especially those with a significant Indian immigrant population, extortion has been a rising concern for years now.
Carney wants the criminal alien vote bloc too much to enforce the law.
Most candidates from Canada’s 2025 election say they are concerned about foreign influence on voters
The vast majority of candidates on the ballot box for Canada’s 2025 election have stated they are certain that foreign agents were actively trying to sway people’s voting intentions one way or another.
According to data released from a Survey Of Candidates for the 45th General Election, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, nearly half of the candidates were also convinced that illegal funds were being used to interfere in the democratic process.
Most candidates, some 76 percent, said they were concerned with the spread of “false information online.”
German, South Korean firms scramble to outbid each other on benefits of submarine deal
Both companies competing to build Canada’s new fleet of submarines are engaged in a battle of deal-signing this week, looking to convince the federal government and the public they’re serious about creating jobs in this country.
Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) has signed an agreement with Vancouver’s Seaspan Shipyard to establish a maintenance facility for the new submarines should the federal government select its Type-212CD as the replacement for the navy’s aging Victoria-class boats.
How Chinese EVs Have Impacted Global Markets—and What It Means for Canada as It Opens Its Market
Canada is set to open its automotive market to Chinese electric vehicles, as researchers and policymakers warn that a flood of Chinese products in markets such as Europe has come at the expense of domestic producers.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mark Carney struck a deal with China to allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into Canada annually at a 6.1 percent tariff, replacing the 100 percent tariff imposed in 2024 amid concerns over Beijing’s non-market practices.
Woman faints after being caned 140 times under Indonesian province’s sharia law
Sharia police have caned a couple 140 times each in Indonesia’s Aceh province for having sex outside marriage and drinking alcohol, likely one of the severest such punishments since the deeply conservative region adopted Islamic law.
Sexual relations between an unmarried couple are strictly outlawed in Aceh, the only place in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, to impose sharia law.
Asylum rulings made without a hearing raise security and fraud concerns, C.D. Howe Institute report says
The federal refugee tribunal’s practice of assessing some asylum claims without first questioning applicants could heighten the risk of fraud and weaken security screening, a report by a former director of policy at the Immigration Department says.
The report, to be published on Thursday by the C.D. Howe Institute, expresses concern that the Immigration and Refugee Board’s assessment of asylum claims from certain countries without hearings removes an important layer of scrutiny.
An access to information request by the report’s author, James Yousif, found that between Jan. 1, 2019 and Feb. 28, 2023, the IRB accepted 24,599 asylum claims into Canada without personally questioning the applicants in hearings.
Our country is run by criminals.
Half of Canadians say it would be unethical for Carney to get majority with floor crossers: poll
OTTAWA — Half of Canadians believe it would be unethical for Mark Carney’s Liberal government to achieve a majority by attracting opposition MP floor crossers, according to a new poll.
And, two months after two Conservative MPs crossed the floor to the governing Liberals, new data from a Postmedia-Leger poll suggest that voters’ feelings about party defectors are a political Rorschach test.
Exploring Venezuela’s Crisis and Canada’s Chinese Influence
Canadian conservative and political theorist William Barclay joins The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay to discuss the future of Venezuela, the relationship between Canada and the U.S., and the rising problems posed by progressive ideology and identity politics.
Message to Mark Carney: Europe without America doesn’t work
Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of England and now Canadian prime minister, was the toast of Davos last week for a speech that seemed to perfectly capture the moment with its talk of a “permanent rupture” and its supposed master plan for responding to the “Trumpquake” in global affairs.
But how realistic was his vision of a coalition of “middle powers” – by which he seemed to mean mainly Canada, Europe, the UK and Japan – to keep the torch of the old liberal order burning bright?
"PM Carney’s Davos speech may go down in history as one of the most poorly interpreted by Canadians. Many central bankers openly disagreed with both the language and the message, but the backlash barely surfaced in Canadian media. Meanwhile, the speech has clearly made many… pic.twitter.com/krCyHwtxx3
