Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is once again calling for Ottawa to overturn its electric vehicle (EV) mandate, echoing a letter five automobile CEOs sent to the prime minister in May that was recently released.
“Automakers have warned Mr. Carney of the job losses and rising costs from his ban on gas-powered vehicles. We must allow people the freedom to choose,” the Tory leader said on Aug. 7.
Is it an exaggeration to say Canada’s Liberal government uses newspaper subsidies and internet regulation to control what Canadians read and say?
Host Nigel Hannaford puts the question to former CRTC commissioner and one-time Calgary Herald publisher Peter Menzies: “I don’t think you’re overstating the situation at all,” says Menzies.

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside Joly’s home, raising security concerns
A pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the home of Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has sparked calls for the government to consider security measures to protect politicians from protests at their residences.
A group of up to 60 protesters chanted slogans, rang bells, banged pots and projected messages onto Ms. Joly’s house in Montreal on Wednesday evening, in an escalation of protest activity over the situation in Gaza.
But they’re her constituents!
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly implied that the 7,000 or so Arabs in her Montreal riding influence her positions on Israel
Prime Minister Mark Carney told Métis leaders on Thursday their voices will be heard and rights respected as the Liberal government implements its legislation to fast-track major projects deemed to be in the national interest.
As he opened a small summit in Ottawa, Carney said for too long economic and public policy decisions were made without listening to Métis voices. But “we’re listening now,” he added.
“Respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples is at the core of the Building Canada Act. It’s embedded in the law itself,” Carney said inside the Centre for Geography and Exploration at 50 Sussex Drive, along the Ottawa River.
At the end of the 1880s, reports Desmond Morton in “A Short History of Canada,” the United States was booming while Canada stagnated. Even Friedrich Engels, during a visit to the U.S. and Canada in 1888, recognized “how necessary the feverish speculative spirit of the Americans is for the rapid development of a new country.” However, the situation was so bad in Canada that opposition leader Wilfrid Laurier, who became prime minister in 1896, ruefully stated, “We have come to a period in the history of this young country when premature dissolution seems to be at hand.”
How do Canadian officials detect plagiarized refugee claims?
A failed refugee claimant came to Amandeep Singh in May for help after he was refused because his claim was “nearly word for word” identical to others before the refugee board.
While the Edmonton-based immigration consultant had heard for a long time that some claimants and their counsel have plagiarized claims to game the system, what struck him was what tool the refugee board and immigration officials use to flag these cases, which he says seems to have happened more often.

Century Initiative co-founder Mark Wiseman says “a lot of the screening” of immigrants is “a waste of time”.

OTTAWA — Less than two weeks after the Liberal cabinet was sworn in, the presidents of the five major automakers appealed directly to Prime Minister Mark Carney, requesting him to “urgently” repeal the federal zero-emission vehicle sales mandate, warning of industry-wide repercussions if it is not.
More than two months later, and with no public indication as to whether the government will listen, frustration is only building, says Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, which sent the May 26 letter and represents Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.
Carney is as bad as Junior and possibly as twisted as his wife when it comes to evangelical eco-nuttery.
Ottawa has exponentially hiked the number of low-wage migrants it brings into the country, creating more competition for job-seeking young people.
The search for a summer job is a rite of passage.
Filled with anxiety and reward, the quest in Canada offers young people an introduction to the marketplace, where they will spend a large portion of their lives, hopefully leading to independence and self-confidence.
But this summer in Canada, opportunities for people between the ages of 15 and 24 are abysmal. Their hunt is full of dead ends and discouragement. Talk about making hope-filled young people feel unwanted.
The Liberal government and their Corporate cronies should be jailed for the ruin they have visited upon Canada with their hateful mass immigration policy.
The latest call for the creation of a Palestinian state by Prime Minister Mark Carney and the leaders of many other countries is a classic example of politicians believing they have to say something and this is something.
The political fraud inherent in this call, however, is the implication that creating a Palestinian state will end the suffering of the Palestinians and ensure Israel’s security.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is standing by his promise to double home construction to 500,000 units a year, even as federal data shows the target is far beyond the country’s current building capacity.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Carney offered no explanation for how his government plans to overcome the well-documented obstacles.
Last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state in September. This would be a dangerous, highly premature decision — and a foreign policy blunder that could embarrass Canada while compounding the crisis in the Middle East instead of bringing Israelis and Palestinians anywhere closer to a lasting peace.
If it means winning the Muslim-Left vote bloc then Carney is happy.
Canada’s reputation was destroyed under Trudeau’s reign.
There are no eggs left to break so Carney may as well go along to get along with whoever he might strike a deal with.
When a senior Hamas terrorist praises your country by name, it’s not a diplomatic gesture. It’s not a political milestone. It is a stain. A warning. An indictment of a nation that has lost its moral compass, its democratic voice, and perhaps even its future.
Carney knows. He just doesn’t care.
Mark Carney showed up at Gorman’s Mill in West Kelowna, B.C., on Tuesday promising to change Canada’s trading relationship. If we judged that promise based off his promise to strike a deal with Donald Trump, he’d get an automatic fail.
Still, he wants us to believe that he’s going to turn things around and magically not make us reliant on the United States.
Conservative MPs are calling on the federal government to scrap its electric vehicle (EV) sales mandate, accusing the Liberals of ignoring consumer demand and pushing forward with policies that are unaffordable and impractical for most Canadians.
In a joint statement released Tuesday, Raquel Dancho, Shadow Minister for Industry, and Ellis Ross, Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change, criticized the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate as “flawed” and “ideological,” arguing it will hurt jobs, investment, and consumer choice.
Prime Minister Mark Carney surprised revellers at Vancouver’s Pride Parade over the weekend.
While his attendance wasn’t announced, Carney was in the city to meet with Vancouver Fraser Port Authority president and CEO Peter Xotta and DP World Canada chief operating officer Joel Werner in the morning for a photo op after visiting the port facility.
