Liberal government misspending has left us ill-equipped to fight a tariff war with the U.S. – and one of the only alternatives the government has will be to increase taxes to do so.
But don’t take my word for it.
Those warnings came from Chrystia Freeland when she was finance minister and from parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux.
If Canadians wish to ensure the preservation of individual liberty and free speech, we must get back to first principles — and the medieval wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Online Harms Act died when Parliament was prorogued late last year. It would have broadened the definition of hate crimes, empowered the state to impose house arrest to forestall possible future hate crimes, established a Digital Safety Commissioner to enforce social media regulations, and raised the maximum penalty for any offence found to be motivated by hate to life imprisonment.
A Liberal candidate running in a Greater Toronto Area riding, whose candidacy has come under scrutiny for ties to pro-Beijing groups, accepted an invitation from China to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army victory over Japan in the Second World War.
Peter Yuen, who has also been linked to Toronto’s Chinese consulate, joined a group of about 70 Chinese Canadians for the Tiananmen Square celebration in September, 2015.
Mark Carney’s grand pronouncement that he will “reinvigorate the implementation of an efficient gun-buyback program for assault-style firearms” is laughable.
The Liberal government, via Bill Blair, has claimed they will impose their Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme for the past five years. They haven’t confiscated a single banned firearm from a licensed owner, despite wasting $67 million.
Another poll Saturday.
The needle doesn’t move. The Liberals are in the driver’s seat, out in front and steady and the clock ticks.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre hammers away at the issues. Hammers away at the Liberal record.
Some Conservatives tell him to be like the Liberals. Trump, Trump and more Trump. Forget about the rest.
Poilievre stays the course.
Ahead of the federal election, top executives in Canada’s oil and gas industry say they are pleased to hear support for building new export pipelines from the two leading parties. However, Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s stance on this issue has been branded “inconsistent” and “purposefully vague” by CEOs and leading industry figures.
Canada’s federal election is set for April 28. A Leger poll earlier this week found 52 per cent see Carney’s Liberals winning, compared to 27 per cent favouring Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
All the scrutiny and questions may be getting a bit too much for Mark Carney as he suspends his campaign for a third time.
Carney has clearly been irritated and put his “elbows up” after being questioned about a number of controversies swirling around him. Among the recent issues that have put Carney under a glaring spotlight have been: why Brookfield Asset Management used a Bermud a bike shop as a tax haven while he was an executive at the firm; whether his previous jobs create a conflict-of-interest for him and whether he met a pro-Beijing lobbying group in Toronto, as reported in the Globe and Mail on Thursday.
Saskatchewan is the province that wants to leave Canada the most if Liberals win the upcoming election in Canada, a new poll finds.
Around 33 per cent of residents from the central prairie province “say they would vote to leave federation, whether to form their own country or to join the United States,” if Liberals form the next government, according to the survey by nonprofit Angus Reid Institute.
You never used to find tents in Scarborough’s Collingwood Park.
The tiny oasis of greenspace tucked near Sheppard Avenue East and Kennedy Road is usually home to little more than grassy expanses, winding paths, a narrow creek and play equipment. But this spring, as outdoor homelessness has continued to surge across Toronto, 11 campsites were set up throughout the park.
Last spring, there was only one; in the three springs before, none at all.
On July 19, 2022, the Canadian government set up the National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools, Missing Children and Unmarked Burials to investigate the alleged abuse and murder of Indian children by Christian missionaries and school teachers between 1880 and 1996. National fury erupted in 2015 with the claim that 215 burial sites had been discovered at the Kamloops Indian Residential School by ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scans. The monostory of indigenous suffering and “settler” guilt had to be fixed in technical readouts and funerary stone. Predictably, the allegation proved to be false.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s former firm Brookfield has registered more than a dozen business entities to an infamous address in the Cayman Islands that former U.S. president Barack Obama once described as either “the largest building in the world or the largest tax scam in the world.”
CTV News reviewed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings between 2015 and 2024 that show the global investment firm registered limited companies and limited partnerships to a five-storey building in the capital of the self-governing British Overseas Territory.
That building is known as Ugland House, and is home to at least 18,000 corporate entities. The Cayman Islands charges no income or corporate taxes.
As Canadians flex their patriotic muscles and hold “elbows up” in response to punishing U.S. tariffs, many might be surprised that another economic crisis has been percolating here for years — from inside the country.
It effectively dropped Canada into recession months ago, has left us as poor as the residents of Alabama and is so dire, the usually circumspect Bank of Canada warned it’s time to “break the glass” and sound the emergency.
For this at least, U.S President Donald Trump can’t be blamed.
The Trudeau government pushed the carbon tax as the best way to help the environment and reduce emissions.
But it’s clear a carbon tax in Canada wouldn’t be effective at lowering global emissions. That’s because Canada only makes up 1.4 per cent of global emissions, a fact former prime minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged.
“Even if Canada stopped everything tomorrow, and the other countries didn’t have any solutions, it wouldn’t make a big difference,” Trudeau said in 2018.
Carney will be worse.

On Thursday, Liberal Leader Mark Carney announced he was pausing his campaign for the third time so he could deal with the Trump trade tariffs.
But Trump’s tariffs are the campaign.
Without the chaos created by the deranged trade policies of the Madman of Washington, the Libs would still be a distant second in voter preference.
A TDS purity test is mandatory for all Canadian columnists beyond that it’s not a bad piece.
Carney claims he is working to de-escalate the trade conflict with the Americans.
His fear mongering comments prove otherwise.
