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.

Ottawa accused of quietly steering public opinion with behavioural ‘nudge’ unit

A new report from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is sounding the alarm that Ottawa has quietly embedded psychological steering tactics into federal decision-making, turning what was sold as an “innovation hub” into a political tool for shaping how Canadians think and behave.

Carney government wins crucial confidence vote on budget

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority government budget passed a third and crucial confidence vote on Monday evening thanks to the support of the Green Party and multiple abstentions, averting the possibility of a federal election at the end of this year.

Tonight, I voted against generational debt.

I voted against Canadians being priced out of food, homes and life.

I voted against wasteful spending.

Canadians will continue to live an unaffordable life under these Liberals. #cdnpoli #budget2025 #unaffordability pic.twitter.com/vYwtZeTfd6

Federal refugee employment program faces ‘extremely long, ballooning wait times’

Instead of waiting months, a federal program is now taking years to process the applications of refugees who are living overseas and have a job waiting for them in Canada.

As a result, some Canadian businesses are unable to fill positions, while skilled refugees are also in limbo and risk exploitation, arrest or detention.

In 2018, the federal government launched the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) for employers facing skill shortages to recruit internationally from within refugee populations. If approved, the individual is given permanent residency and can immigrate to Canada with their spouse and children.

No Canadian citizens to train? BS. This is just another cheap foreign labour scam.

“Canadian Business’ should not be involved in setting immigration policy.

TAYLOR: Why does Ottawa want to put ca$h out of business?

St-Viateur Bagels is Montreal’s oldest bagel shop. Local foodies, celebrities and international tourists all flock to its famous shop in the city’s Mile End neighbourhood for its holey creations. “This is an artisanal product — hand-made and baked in a wood-fired oven,” said co-owner Vince Morena proudly. But once inside, there’s only one way for those hungry customers to get their hands on a firm, chewy wood-fired bagel. As Morena explained, “it is cash only.”

Mark Carney lost the battle over Brexit. Now he’s losing to Trump

The ‘high priest of Project Fear’ is struggling to shield Canada’s industrial heartlands from US tariffs

Mass lay-offs at Canada’s rail freight-carriage maker National Steel Car are expected to hit a little bit before Christmas.

After Donald Trump imposed tariffs on steel imports to the US in the spring, the manufacturing plant in Hamilton, Ontario, has had no new orders.

“The building I’m in is working on number 290 of a 300-car order. We’ll be done by the first week of December and then we will be laid off,” says Jonas Barry, 51, who has worked at the factory for the last eight years. “Probably most of the plant will be laid off.

‘Fury from Alberta and Saskatchewan’: Western patience wearing thin over lack of Alberta pipeline plan

Prime Minister Mark Carney rolled out a second wave of “nation-building projects” on Thursday and an oil pipeline from Alberta was not on the list.

Patience is wearing thin in western Canada, even as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government is “still working” with the Carney government to advance a bitumen pipeline to tidewater.

GUNTER: Carney’s major projects more PR than ‘nation building’

When Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the creation of his Major Projects Office (MPO) in August, he said it would unleash projects essential to the national economy “at speeds not seen in a generation.” The MPO would achieve this in two ways, by streamlining regulatory approval of new projects and unlocking private-sector investments in projects that would boost the country’s GDP and reduce our dependence on trade with the U.S.

McGuinty not ruling out fighter jet purchases from several companies with F-35 decision still pending

Defence Minister David McGuinty says Canada isn’t ruling out diversifying its fighter-jet purchases from more than one company in order to fulfil capability requirements.

“We’re grateful for any forthcoming offer that comes forward,” McGuinty told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday. “If anybody walks into Canada tomorrow from a sovereign wealth fund or with a joint venture in mind or is looking to set up a company in Canada to create 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,000 jobs, game on.”

What a load of BS.

Quebec immigration minister threatens to cut social assistance to benefit sponge asylum seekers and force them to TROC

Immigration minister reiterates threat to cut social assistance for asylum seekers

Due to the “sustained arrival of a significant number of asylum seekers” in Quebec, Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge is reiterating his threat to cut social assistance if Ottawa does not reimburse him for the associated expenses.

He refused to say when he would carry out the threat.

“When people have their work permits and months go by, they remain on social assistance, they don’t have jobs, they have trouble putting down roots here, and ultimately, the Quebec government will significantly reduce social assistance so that these people are encouraged to go to another province,” the minister explained at a news conference on Thursday morning.

Rest assured Chow and her puppet masters are licking their chops at the prospect of acquiring more bargaining chips.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney’s budget won’t fix decade of Trudeau’s economic mismanagement

Whether Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget is passed by the House of Commons on Monday or defeated – which would prompt another election and yet another distraction from Canada’s affordability crisis – it won’t make any difference to financially struggling Canadians.

Liberals’ cutting luxury tax on private jets, yachts, but not pickup trucks

Carney quietly removed the luxury tax on private jets and yachts in Budget 2025 while keeping the tax firmly in place on working Canadians’ tools like pickup trucks and farm equipment.

The good news is that EV Pickups will be hardest hit in my humble opinion.

Climate Climbdown: Sacrificing the Canadian Economy for Net Zero Goals Others Are Abandoning

In 2015 the newly elected Justin Trudeau government signed the Paris Climate Agreement, which commits signatory countries to “increasingly ambitious climate action” aimed at limiting the forecast increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C by the end of the century. The following year Trudeau’s Liberal government imposed the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, which included more than 50 measures aimed at “reducing carbon emissions and fostering clean technology solutions.” Key among them was economy-wide carbon “pricing” – Liberal-speak for taxes on Canada’s industries and every citizen.
