Freeland tells MPs she was ‘dismayed’ by BC Ferries’ Chinese ship deal

Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland told MPs Friday she was “dismayed” by BC Ferries’ decision to purchase four new electric-diesel ships from a Chinese shipbuilder using a $1 billion federal loan — but did not call for the loan’s cancellation.

The House of Commons transport committee launched a study of the Canada Infrastructure Bank loan on Friday.

At the meeting, committee members voted in favour of a motion calling on the Canada Infrastructure Bank, BC Ferries and the federal government to show the committee several documents — including the complete bond purchase agreement and records of all options for the acquisition of the new vessels — by the end of August.

Don’t be surprised if Canadians never find out someone was getting their palms greased.

Carney’s shift on Palestinian statehood would not have happened as quickly under Trudeau, insiders say

Just over a year ago, the Liberal caucus was in turmoil over the government’s responses to the war between Israel and Hamas. Factions broke publicly with then-prime minister Justin Trudeau and one MP even threatened to quit.

But the reaction has been far more tempered to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s announcement Wednesday that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state this fall, a major shift in government policy.

Insiders say that’s a reflection of the current scale of the crisis in Gaza, but also a different prime minister at a different political time.

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function

On July 30th 2025, Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, declared that “the peaceful co-existence of Israeli and Palestinian states [is] the only roadmap for a secure and prosperous future” and confirmed that “Canada will recognize a Palestinian state” at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that his decision is unequivocally appalling to any defenders of democracy, human rights, and The Good, Carney’s recent comments are not at all surprising or even unexpected.

CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s food chain just got tariff-slapped — again. Ottawa has only itself to blame.

As August 1 quietly slipped by, so did Canada’s last, best chance to avoid a sharp escalation in trade tensions with its most important economic partner. Unlike Mexico, which secured a temporary reprieve, Canada is now fully exposed to a 35% tariff imposed by the United States on a range of non-USMCA-covered goods. For the Canadian agri-food sector — and for consumers from coast to coast — this is less a policy adjustment and more a gut punch.

GIESBRECHT: Is Carney incompetent — or pushing a dangerous agenda?

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced this week that Canada would formally recognize a Palestinian state in September. Immediately, former U.S. president Donald Trump responded that Carney’s decision would make a deal with Canada “very hard.” His commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, called Carney’s two-state decision “tone deaf.”

Then Trump hiked tariffs on Canada to 35 per cent.

Days after its release, Ottawa calls report on lethal exports to Israel ‘flawed’

OTTAWA — Ottawa is insisting it hasn’t sent lethal weapons to Israel, days after the release of a report stating Israeli customs data indicates Canadian arms are still being exported there regularly.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says items that the Israel Tax Authority identified as “bullets” were actually “paintball-style projectiles” that cannot be used in combat, even though the bullets were identified by the authority as “munitions of war and parts thereof.”

Gary Anandasangaree must resign as Public Safety Minister

It would be tolerable – though just barely – if Gary Anandasangaree was, say, minister of Fisheries, or minister of Artificial Intelligence. One does not need to know about gun licensing, for example, to work on a transition plan away from open net-pen salmon farming on the West coast; a firewall preventing a minister from weighing in on matters involving listed terrorist organizations would not affect approvals for AI data centres. One requires good judgment to serve as any member of Cabinet, to be sure, but the stakes are decidedly higher when we’re talking about the safety and security of the country, as opposed to the safety and security of the Rocky Mountain ridged mussel.

Canada’s plan to recognize Palestinian statehood prompts swift, divided reaction

A national Muslim advocacy group called Wednesday a “historic day” after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada would formally recognize Palestinian statehood.

But a national Jewish organization said the decision was “deeply concerning” and would embolden the terrorist group Hamas.

With the announcement, Canada joins a growing list of countries around the world to formally recognize Palestinian statehood.

EISEN: Canada’s summer job market slump is bad news for young people in more ways than one

According to new data from Statistics Canada, young Canadians are facing a historically challenging job market. In June, the unemployment rate for young people (aged 15-24) was 14.2%, up from 13.5% in June 2024, which was already a bad year in historical terms. By comparison, in the pre-pandemic years from 2017 to 2019, the average youth unemployment rate in June averaged 10.9%.

Casey Babb: Canada doesn’t need an antisemitism or Islamophobia czar

On July 17, Deborah Lyons, Canada’s special envoy on preserving Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism, abruptly retired. Lyons, who served as Canada’s ambassador to Israel from 2016 to 2020, came into this role in October 2023 — just a week after Palestinian terrorists carried out their barbaric attacks in Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking over 250 hostages. While she was expected to hold the position for another few months, until October 2025, she decided “with a heavy heart,” to step down early.

With the position now vacant, the time has come to permanently dissolve the post — as well as the position of Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia. High paying jobs that don’t lead to results are bad. Ones that continue to divide people are even worse.

Carney will recognize Pallie State in September providing they maintain agreed upon charade

Canada plans to recognize Palestinian state in September, Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September if the West Bank’s governing body agrees to certain conditions.

The prime minister said the Palestinian Authority must hold an election in 2026 and commit to other democratic reforms.

Carney’s announcement came after he spoke to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier Wednesday — and follows similar commitments from other allied countries in the past week.

Canada weighing recognition of Palestinian statehood: source

The Canadian government is weighing whether to recognize Palestinian statehood, and whether that recognition would come with conditions, according to a government source.

No decision has been made yet, the source says, but Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to hold a virtual cabinet meeting Wednesday afternoon, at which time the situation in the Middle East will be discussed.

The International Court of Justice’s statement on fossil fuels puts Carney in a tough spot

Pay now, or pay more later. That’s the message sent by the International Court of Justice to fossil fuel-producing countries in an “advisory opinion” on climate change released last week. The opinion responds to a request for legal advice from all 193 United Nations member states.

“Failure of the state to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions including through fossil fuel production, fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licenses, or the provision of fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state,” the court wrote in its unanimous decision.

A normal PM would tell that Kangaroo Kourt to shove it. Carney welcomes it as yet another avenue to shut down the oil industry.

Political slogans can create a powerful movement, that can also backfire. Mark Carney be warned

In today’s political landscape, policies and politics alike are increasingly shaped and simplified by slogans. Prime Minister Mark Carney has introduced “Build, Baby, Build” as a rallying cry for his government’s infrastructure agenda, signalling urgency and determination.

While Carney is relatively new to the art of sloganeering, his adoption of this catchier vernacular shows an understanding of how powerfully these formulas land in modern politics.

Temporary Workers Amount to Nearly 19 Percent of Canada’s Private Sector Workforce

The number of foreign workers in Canada on temporary permits is equivalent to 18.5 percent of the country’s private sector workforce, according to newly released figures from Canada’s immigration department.

The department counted 3,049,277 non-permanent residents in Canada as of Jan. 1, including more than 129,000 with expired work permits, according to a briefing note first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter. The figure represents 18.5 percent of the private sector workforce, which totalled 16.4 million workers, including self-employed Canadians in January, according to the Labour Force Survey released by Statistics Canada.
