Canadians’ patience with immigration mismanagement is wearing thin: 56 per cent believe that immigration levels are too high, and one-third believe immigration increases crime. Their growing fears about public safety have now been compounded by the Federal Court, which just released a ruling that threatens to make things worse.
Domestic auto manufacturers are calling on cabinet to permanently repeal Canada’s electric vehicle sales mandate, saying it penalizes the industry and threatens competitiveness.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Brian Kingston, CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, told the Commons industry committee the policy could be overturned immediately to benefit Canadian automakers.
Brian Kingston, CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, Monday asked the Commons industry committee to recommend scrapping the federal EV mandate for good, not just for 2026. In September, Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended the EV mandate for next year that would have dictated carmakers ensure at least 20% of the cars and light trucks sold next year were EVs.
OTTAWA — A new federal promise to spend more than $660 million on gender equality and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities — unveiled to great fanfare on Wednesday — still leaves a steep projected drop in funding in the coming years, as the Carney government previews “tough choices” ahead of its first budget next week.
At the same time, the government house leader said Wednesday that discussions continue with opposition parties, but it remains unclear how Prime Minister Mark Carney will pass the annual spending plan and avoid plunging Canada into its second federal election in less than a year.
Will a lack of support for the federal Liberal budget lead to an election next week? It’s possible, but then again, a snap election is always possible in a minority Parliament.
The budget will be tabled in the House of Commons next Tuesday, and the framing of that budget has been all over the map.
The problem with simply cramming never-before-seen volumes of students who can’t speak English into overcrowded classrooms is that, one day, the teachers will snap. And that’s kind of what we’re seeing in Alberta — though neither the government nor the teachers’ association has made a point of trying to solve the issue.
Most kids have been locked out of schools for a whole month because, we’re told, classes are reaching 40-plus students and because classroom needs are becoming more “complex,” a euphemism for kids with disabilities and/or low English capability. Teachers have been without pay in that time, as their union didn’t build a strike fund over the past 20 years. Alas, the strike ended Tuesday with the passing of back-to-work legislation reinforced by the notwithstanding clause.
Our criminal elites should be rotting in jail for the rest of their scummy lives for having unleashed a tsunami of incompatible cultures on unsuspecting Canadians.
It was an act of pure evil and I doubt Canada will ever recover.
If the goal was to balkanize the populace and undermine society prior to breakup they have succeeded.
Young Canadians are finding it increasingly difficult to land even minimum-wage jobs as the country’s youth unemployment rate climbs to its highest level in years.
According to Statistics Canada, the youth unemployment rate reached 15 per cent in September — the highest level since 2010, excluding the pandemic years.
Statistics Canada’s chief of labour force survey analysis, Andrew Fields, said young people are particularly affected by the tightening job market.
It took nine days for Nelson Getson to die.
The 38-year-old had been shot on Oct. 15 at his Ottawa rooming house, finally dying from his grievous injuries on Oct. 24. He went into the books as the capital’s 17th murder of 2025.
At a time when Canada’s economy is in crisis, leadership demands that the prime minister take charge.
But Canadians looking for leadership from Ottawa in dealing with the Trump administration’s barrage of tariffs have been left wanting.
OTTAWA—A new report suggests Mark Carney’s promised spending cuts could come from the expiry of billions in Trudeau-era programs, as it remains unclear how the Liberal government will pass its upcoming budget next week and avoid plunging the country into a sudden election.
In an analysis released Thursday, economists with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives identified short-term funding for disaster responses, fighting climate change, improving access to health care and programs for women, veterans and Indigenous Peoples as the bulk of federal spending that is set to expire in the next three years, shedding light on the potential “sacrifices” the prime minister has said would be necessary to transform the economy amid the trade crisis caused by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The ramifications of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) invading Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC, to seize its herd run far deeper than government goons hellbent on culling healthy ostriches.
The planned slaughter of 300-330 birds asymptomatic of avian flu (H5N1) — no matter how CFIA tries to justify it while rejecting other options — is distressing, unethical, cruel, and, experts say, unnecessary.

OTTAWA — Federal Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson says the question of whether there is a business case for a new bitumen pipeline in Canada will be up to the private sector to decide.
He also suggests the question of whether the country can, in fact, build a new oil pipeline to be an “overfocusing” on a “hypothetical.”
“I think Canada can build many things,” Hodgson told National Post in a wide-ranging interview on Monday.
Carney don’t want no pipeline.
Canada has provided more than $100 million in foreign aid to China since 2015, with the Department of Foreign Affairs saying the funding promoted “sustainable development.”
Blacklock’s Reporter says a briefing note for the Minister of International Development stated the money supported “key foreign policy priorities in China including human rights, gender equality, sustainable development and climate change.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise to boost defence could deliver massive profit gains for companies but the big question is, where will the money come from?
The Carney government recently announced plans to raise Canada’s military budget to $150 billion by 2035 to meet a new NATO target of five per cent of GDP, the country’s largest increase since the Second World War.
The current budget sits at $62.7 billion after Ottawa added $9 billion this year. Some economists are skeptical about Canada reaching its target.
I wonder. Is the media walking back Carney’s promises for him?
Deadbeats are us!
This past Tuesday I attended a discussion between former prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper sponsored by the C.D. Howe Institute in the annual Aaron Regent dinner, and moderated by its affable and well-informed president, Bill Robson. The issue was national unity. In the contemporary manner, guests were invited to indicate the level of their concern on that subject before the discussion started and after it had ended. The majority remained at least partially concerned at the end of the exchange but less so than at the beginning, so they found the words of these two men who between them were prime minister for nearly 20 years, somewhat encouraging.
