Conrad Black: Carney continues on a path of mindless globalism

It was a gracious gesture for King Charles III and Queen Camilla to come to Ottawa for 24 hours to open Parliament and symbolize Canada‘s close relations with the United Kingdom and other senior Commonwealth nations, but the speech from the throne was so general, we might have reserved the distinction of Their Majesties’ presence for a more substantive policymaking occasion. There was a pledge to make housing more affordable many years after what should have been the starting date for such a policy before millions of otherwise welcome immigrants were admitted to the country, furthering an acute housing shortage among Canadians of modest income. It was also good to hear the King state, on behalf of the federal government, the determination to protect and advance the rights of all Canadians. It would have been useful and pleasing to know if this included a departure from the federal government’s policy of passivity toward Quebec’s suppression of the English language in that province.

Carney’s thoughts on energy promise a difficult four years

After Justin Trudeau, we now have a new Liberal prime minister who is also ardently net zero, but more cunning and better connected to the global eco-zealotry establishment.

Former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon taxes, EV subsidies and net zero targets are without a doubt the key factor in Canada’s anemic GDP and doubling of the national debt.

Now we have a new Liberal prime minister who is also ardently net zero, but more cunning and better connected to the global eco-zealotry establishment.

Mark Carney has served as co-chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance.

BRIAN: A deeper look at Canada’s new leader, Mark Carney

‘We will miss Justin Trudeau.’

With new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now in charge of the Great White North, many around the world are looking more closely at his beliefs and pedigree.

An alum of Goldman Sachs and former head of the Bank of England, Carney has been heralded by Canada’s dominant centre-left voices in the media as a national saviour. If he were a black woman or transgender, one wouldn’t have been surprised to see shrines and worship services to the Great Leader take place during his campaign.

Gov’t Shill On Tax Payer Teat Says Keep Immigration Coming! That 100 Million Target is A Swell Idea!

Keep Immigration Coming

I’ve spent my entire life moving around the country. I grew up in a military family, and continued the habit of moving every few years into adulthood. At this point, I’ve lived or worked in eight of Canada’s 10 largest cities and every province west of the Maritimes. As a public policy generalist, I similarly move from one file to the next, whether that’s economic policy in the Prairies, housing policy in Canada’s big cities or industrial policy all over. No matter which area I’m working on, immigration is part of the conversation— and with good reason.

Canada is well on pace to hit 100 million Canadians by 2100; that’s a positive thing. Population growth allows for greater economies of scale to tap our natural resources. It attracts the best and the brightest from around the world to spur innovation and cultural diversity. And one increasingly relevant upside is that rapid growth affords smaller countries some much-needed geopolitical heft. At 41 million people, Canada is still a relatively modest country in a highly unstable world (for now, at least). And with America becoming a less reliable partner, we’ll have to stand on our own two feet. Having more people would give us a lot more clout in a world where it’s easy for the large to push around the small.


This is the sort of propaganda that Carney and his pal Mark “!00 Million Unvetted Immigrants” Wiseman are producing to convince you that turning Canada into a 3rd World Shithole for their profit is a swell idea.

All paid for with your tax dollars as both the Institute for Research on Public Policy and Maclean’s Magazine are on the public teat.

Lorne Gunter: PM Carney set to worsen Trudeau’s fiscal failures

Ever wonder how glamorous the life of a daily newspaper columnist is?

Well, here’s how I spent my Friday morning. First, I did a deep dive into government workforce statistics from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (via the Canadian Taxpayers Federation). Then I swam around in the luxurious pools of the federal government’s Main Spending Estimates. And finally, I bathed in an RBC Economics analysis of first-quarter GDP numbers.

Is An Energy Corridor the New National Dream or an Ottawa Mirage?

“Nationalism was a strange new word. Patriotism was derivative, racial cleavage was deep, culture was regional, provincial animosities savage, and the idea of unity ephemeral”. The writer goes on to say, “There are few Canadians yet who care deeply about it; most provincial politicians indeed, are ‘either indifferent or hostile’” to the project.

Frankie Champers: We need to build new ways to avoid military spending

Canada rethinks military spending as Trump turns up the pressure

OTTAWA — Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is signaling a bold shift in Canadian defense spending — one where the military is a national priority.

“We need to rebuild our armed forces. We need to rebuild infrastructure. We need to build new defense systems, but we need to do that where we support Canadian industry, Canadian workers and Canadian autonomy,” Champagne told POLITICO in a wide-ranging interview in his 18th-floor corner office.

Trudeau flunkies halted active CSIS operation in 2022 putting team at risk, watchdog says

A federal watchdog agency says an active overseas clandestine spy service operation was abruptly halted by a top adviser to former prime minister Justin Trudeau, a decision it says needlessly put CSIS officers in danger.

In a report released Thursday, the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, or NSIRA, said it had investigated a 2022 Canadian Security Intelligence Service operation that was suspended before later being authorized to proceed.

I’m guessing Beijing or some other ne’er do well nation got in touch with Junior.

Did King Charles go nuts on his Canada trip?

I like King Charles. I visited him at Windsor Castle recently as Mrs. Miller picked up a gong. The castle has been beautifully restored. It is full of treasures, looted from the Empire. There were no refreshments, only a porcelain water bowl for the service dog of one of the honorees.

The King was charming, looking a little the worse for wear, perhaps. He graciously laughed at Mrs. M’s joke. He’s a thoughtful guy. A little odd, which is no bad thing. But he seems to have gone completely nuts on his trip to Canada this week, where he opened Parliament with the most modern of empty gestures.

Followed, threatened and smeared — attacks by China against its critics in Canada are on the rise

For Yao Zhang, the news came as a shock.

Sexually explicit, deepfake images of her were circulating widely online — an attack that Ottawa blamed on the Chinese government.

It wasn’t the first time Zhang had been targeted by China. Shortly after the Quebec-based accountant-turned-influencer travelled to Taiwan in January 2024 to support its independence, China’s national police paid a visit to her aunt in Chifeng, in mainland China.

Today’s immigration scam …

Canada sees surge in temporary foreign workers applying to escape abusive employers

The number of temporary foreign workers applying for open work permits to escape abusive employers has jumped more than 800 per cent year over year in Ontario, a surge advocates say highlights a growing crisis of abuse as immigration cuts and economic uncertainty deepen migrant workers’ vulnerability.

To address exploitation, the federal government in 2019 introduced the Vulnerable Worker Open Work Permit, allowing temporary foreign workers — whose status in Canada is tied to a single employer — to leave abusive jobs and apply for an open permit.

To qualify for one of these permits, migrant workers must show evidence of abuse.


You just know this push came from the lawyers.

Liberals allowing 1 million foreign students costly to Canadians: Report

Bank of Canada research shows that the federal Liberals’ decision to allow one million foreign students into the country had a “significant” impact in some employment sectors and cost Canadians job and wages.

The latest study confirmed a 2022 employment department report that foreign labour led to Canadian workers being replaced, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
