As we enter 2026, Canada’s federal government is quietly but surely transforming Canada’s centuries-old traditions of free speech and privacy rights into something revocable at the pleasure of the CRTC, politicians and bureaucrats.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Cabinet advisor praised pro-Palestine researcher who called Canada a ‘racist settler state’
A federal cabinet advisor personally approved a taxpayer-funded research assignment on pro-Palestine reports by a York University scholar who has publicly described Canada as a “racist settler colonial state,” according to Access To Information records.
Emails show Amira Elghawaby, now the government’s Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, thanked researcher Salmaan Khan for his work, calling it “critical.”

Canada can no longer ignore its violent jihadist extremism problem
Recent arrests in the Greater Toronto Area of Waleed Khan, Osman Azizov, and Fahad Sadaat lay bare a disturbing truth that Canadians can no longer ignore: violent jihadist extremism is being cultivated and operationalized here.
What began as two armed attempts to abduct women from public streets in Toronto and Mississauga escalated into one of the most serious terrorism and hate-crime cases in recent memory. The three men now face dozens of charges involving firearms offences, hostage-taking conspiracies and sexual assault with weapons. Police said that the alleged criminals targeted women and members of the Jewish community and that the alleged crimes were motivated by antisemitism.
No country that appoints the likes of Amira Elghawaby as its Islamophobia Tsar can ever be considered “serious about jihad”.
In fact the Liberal Party is a Jihad enabler.
Remigration of all Islamists is the best choice.
Harley Finkelstein: Canadian Jews are being targeted simply because they are Jewish
My name is Harley Finkelstein. I am a proud Jewish-Canadian, an entrepreneur and the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
I am also the son of immigrants who came to Canada more than half a century ago after fleeing Hungary following the 1956 revolution. They came here to escape persecution. They came because Canada promised safety, opportunity and the freedom to live openly.
John Ivison: Mark Carney’s conceivable tragic fall will come from hubris
It has been curious to watch Prime Minister Mark Carney’s parade of year-end interviews while reading Paul Litt’s excellent 2011 biography of former prime minister John Turner: Elusive Destiny.
Many of Turner’s qualities, as noted by journalist Ron Graham in a Saturday Night magazine profile ahead of the 1984 Liberal leadership election, could equally be said of Carney.
‘Elbows Up’ was year’s dumbest slogan
While it helped Prime Minister Mark Carney win this year’s federal election, “Elbows Up” was a Liberal slogan masquerading as a serious economic strategy that turned into a fiasco.
Toronto hate crime suspect denied refugee status in 2018
One of the Toronto men recently charged with alleged hate and extremism-motivated crimes targeting women and Jews was denied refugee status more than seven years ago, according to court records.
Government records obtained by Global News show that Osman Azizov is an Azerbaijani citizen who, accompanied by his parents, crossed into Canada between official border points near Lacolle, Que., in 2017.
Jamie Sarkonak: Liberals admit their own plastics ban is a disastrous sham
We’re never going to get an apology from the Liberals for their failed single-use plastics ban — but on Dec. 20, we got the next best thing: an admission that it was all a costly mistake.
It’s buried in the government’s proposal to cancel the export ban on plastic straws, cutlery, grocery bags, ring carriers, stir sticks and other food packaging, which took effect earlier this month. A draft amendment to the federal plastics regulations to that effect is open for public comment until Feb. 28, and will likely become law soon afterward.
Organizers of West Bank delegation blocked by Israel call for steeper sanctions
Members of a Canadian delegation that was denied entry to the West Bank earlier this month are calling on Ottawa to tighten sanctions targeting new Israeli settlements in occupied territory.
A group that included six Canadian MPs on a mission to meet with displaced Palestinians was turned away at the Allenby border crossing into the West Bank on Dec. 16.
Multiple witnesses from the group said Ontario MP Iqra Khalid was shoved by an Israeli border guard during the confrontation.
Oh No!!!!
Treasury Board minister silent on details of plan to shrink federal public service
OTTAWA – Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali says the federal government hasn’t worked out details of planned public service cuts and efforts to boost the amount of time public servants spend in the office.
Ali said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press the government is still finalizing the workforce adjustment and return-to-office plans.
Hundreds of federal employees have been warned they may lose their jobs as the government moves to shrink the public service, and many departments have told staff news on job cuts will come in the new year.
Carney won’t do anything to antagonize the civil service voting bloc.
Why a one-seat majority might be the worst-case scenario for federal Liberals
OTTAWA — During the Liberals’ Dec. 11 Christmas party just hours after Conservative MP Michael Ma crossed the floor to the government, soirée hosts James Maloney and Mona Fortier joked to ecstatic attendees that their favourite number was “172”.
That’s the minimum number of MPs a party needs to get a simple majority in the House of Commons. With Ma’s crossing, the Liberals suddenly find themselves one seat away from their favourite number.
Carney’s foreign policy shift to trade, security prompts questions about human rights
OTTAWA – As Prime Minister Mark Carney puts trade and security at the centre of Canada’s foreign policy, observers say Ottawa is also shifting how it asserts its values on the world stage.
The Liberals insist they are still standing up for human rights globally while seeking investment from China, India and Gulf countries. But a change in priorities is prompting some criticism — and changing how Canada trains its diplomats.
Mélanie Joly likes to talk tough. Now she has to deliver
OTTAWA—Mélanie Joly — the lawyer and former foreign affairs minister now industry minister on the economic front lines of a trade war — talked tough all fall.
She threatened to sue Stellantis after it halted Canadian auto production plans in Brampton. She warned a British mining giant poised to take over one of Canada’s last big diversified mining companies that its offer on Teck Resources wasn’t good enough. And she declared that Lockheed Martin, the American jet maker building the F-35 fighter plane, must up its pitch because Canada is not getting enough economic benefit and is weighing the purchase of Swedish planes instead.
TERRAZZANO: Canada needs some serious tax cuts in 2026
What Prime Minister Mark Carney gives with his left hand, he takes away with his right hand.
Canadians are already overtaxed and need significant tax cuts to make life more affordable and improve our economy’s competitiveness. But at best, the New Year will bring a mixed bag for Canadian taxpayers.
Ottawa facing scrutiny after admitting $170‑million stockpile of expired medical supplies headed for landfill
The Public Health Agency of Canada is under renewed fire after confirming it wasted more than $170 million on medical supplies that have since expired and are now bound for the dump.
The revelation has MPs demanding to know why no senior officials have been dismissed over years of inventory mismanagement.
