OTTAWA — The federal Liberals are announcing nearly $100 million in humanitarian relief and governance support for Palestinians, days before a widely expected election.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, who took on the file of international development last week, is announcing funding for major agencies working in the occupied Palestinian territories.
As Canada heads toward its next federal election, voters are being asked to trust Mark Carney — a man who spent a decade defending and shaping Justin Trudeau’s disastrous economic agenda — to lead them into the future. But Carney isn’t the answer to Canada’s problems. He is the problem. He was one of Trudeau’s top economic advisors, a cheerleader for every major policy failure of the last decade and an outspoken advocate for the tax-and-spend policies that have crushed affordability for millions of Canadians.
Emergence of the New Right and their interest in tariffs was an open secret
Why have Canadian business leaders, policy makers and analysts invariably been on their back feet making miscalculation after miscalculation in dealing with the second Trump administration?
It’s not as if we haven’t been here before. And more to the point, it’s not as if what is now occurring was not clearly telegraphed months if not years in advance.
Why would our “Super Patriot Captains Of Industry” change anything?
They got to flood Canada with cheap foreign labour to depress wages and profit off the ensuing shortages in housing etc.
They got to orchestrate “free trade” deals that shipped your jobs offshore to low wage states making it impossible for domestic competition to succeed.
They got to profit off your back on the “Green Energy Transition” scam which was just a way to siphon your tax dollars into their wallets.
Do you really think our Oligarchs are ready to give up the protection racket that lines their pockets?
That’s why “Orange Man Bad“
Canadians Turn on Tesla, and It Becomes Physical
Elon Musk has said that “Canada is not a real country,” just one of his social media jabs at the U.S. neighbor.
But people in Canada have done real damage to the vehicles and dealerships belonging to his electric car company, Tesla, according to the police.
More than 80 Teslas had their tires punctured and bodies scratched at a lot in Hamilton, Ontario, the police said on Thursday. Several acts of vandalism against Tesla property have also been committed in the United States.
These pre-fab patriots seize any excuse to raise havoc, for the most part they’re the same useful idiots you see parading with the Mohammedans.
OTTAWA — A Mark Carney government will maintain the cap on emissions from the production of oil and gas, Environment Minister Terry Duguid said in a recent interview.
Under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, the Liberals promised in the 2021 election to cap emissions from oil and gas and began the process to regulate the cap a year later.
Danielle Smith has something to say…
At his request, I met with Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney today. We had a very frank discussion in which I made it clear that Albertans will no longer tolerate the way we’ve been treated by the federal Liberals over the past 10 years.

And … Energy CEOs Ask Party Leaders to Declare ‘Energy Crisis’, Reduce Oil and Gas Regulations
A group of 14 energy CEOs have written a letter to all major federal parties urging them to declare an “energy crisis” in Canada and use emergency powers to relax regulations within the industry and increase production levels.
The CEOs, who represent the 10 largest oil and gas companies and four largest pipeline companies in Canada, suggest several measures to support oil and natural gas investment and “remove the barriers we have imposed on ourselves over time.”

Mark Carney is the freshly anointed Prime Minister of Canada. He has stepped before the press, hyper guarded, unpolished, and — perhaps most revealingly — unprepared for scrutiny. A man who has spent decades basking in the adulation of elite banking circles along with Vatican and United Nations gatherings, now faces a different beast: democratic accountability.
The ruling Liberal Party has cynically reinvented itself as a patriotic protector of the people.
Once again, Canada is in an emergency. The situation is dire. This will be a difficult time. Canadians are going to suffer enormously. This is because we are at war. We will need to band together and fight back against this unforeseen threat.
This, at least, is what our elected officials have been telling us after Canada began retaliating in the trade war with the US. The same message has been repeated in various ways by leaders across the political spectrum, from Canada’s newly anointed prime minister, the Liberal Party’s Mark Carney, to his main rival, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre.
The picture of Mark Carney with French President Emmanuel Macron showed him with his left hand draped around Macron’s left shoulder, his right held by both Macron’s. The wattage of their collective smiles could light up a coal mine. Clearly, they are best buds.
Carney had the same grin on his face when he met the King. The monarch, however, had an ironic smile when looking down his nose at his former servant, the governor of the Bank of England. Carney did crack a joke: “bit of a disaster today, sir. My Order of Canada pin broke.” Poor Mark. Charles then quipped: “do you want mine?”
If the Liberals win a majority government based solely on the faint hope Prime Minister Mark Carney will be a better tariff negotiator with U.S. President Donald Trump than Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, then we’re going to get everything we deserve.
This week, a Canadian conservative news outlet, True North, reported on an essay written by the daughter of Canada’s new prime minister for Yale University’s feminist magazine. The woman, Sophia Carney, who is now going by Sasha, is 24 years old, graduated from Yale two years ago, and stylizes herself as an activist and writer.
Yet Canada’s journalists are up in arms over True North’s revelations. They are refusing to report True North’s findings and are slamming those who even speak of them.
Why might that be? Why, of course, it’s because True North’s reporting, which discusses Sasha Carney’s (public) transgender identity, touches upon the topic of child “gender transitions.”
Canada’s trade war with the United States has some economists pondering whether the federal government should ease or lift its 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, a move some say could spur EV purchases and deliver a blow to Elon Musk’s Tesla.
Automakers, however, say the tariffs are critical to protecting this country’s nascent EV industry.
Canada followed the U.S. in slapping the tariffs on Chinese EVs last fall, while also putting a 25 per cent surtax on imports of steel and aluminum products from China.
Tell me Brookfield and Canada’s China class aren’t salivating.
“The upside is a likely invasion by the USA.”
OTTAWA — In an effort to pivot away from Canada’s overreliance on the U.S., Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking to Europe to build new security alliances and a new defence industrial strategy that could see European-designed fighter jets built in this country.
But two Canadian sources told the Star that prospect is only a possible implication of what Carney has set in motion after he ordered a review of the F-35 purchase plan, and travelled to Paris and London after discussing with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen his goal to see Canada be a player in the new drive to “rearm Europe.”
EU shuts Britain out of €150bn rearmament fund
A defense commitment to Brussels seems to be the price of admission.
This sounds like the first move in preparation of the end of NATO and US participation in Europe’s defense?
The thing is Canada doesn’t have much by way of armed forces. No European country does, collectively they could be a reasonably formidable force assuming the will to fight exists.
But it makes no sense for a lightweight like Canada to be signing up to defend Brussels absent the protection of the US umbrella.
I bet Brookfield is scoping opportunities however.
OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith fired a shot across the bow of new Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday, vowing to beef up a provincial law shielding oil and gas production from federal meddling.
Smith said at a press conference that new amendments to Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defence Act would put a firewall around Alberta’s energy sector by declaring oil and gas production sites and facilities housing emissions data and records as essential infrastructure.
‘A Liberal win might be the wake-up call necessary to drive Alberta — followed by Saskatchewan — towards greater sovereignty.’
So, out with the old and in with the new as a replacement figurehead is installed on the old rotten ship, the HMCS Liberal Party. With such changes afoot it may be worth a closer examination of the track record left by the outgoing prime minister, as well as at his shiny new replacement.
Having left his gig as UN Special Envoy for Climate and Finance to lead the federal Liberal government, Mark Carney is now in a position to focus his and Greta Thunberg’s global climate crusade squarely on Canada. The crusade, Carney boasted back in 2021 while in his previous role, is worth many trillions of dollars. As he told CBC News at that year’s UN climate conference, “We have banks, asset managers, pension funds, insurance companies from around the world — more than 45 countries — and their total resources, totalling US$130 trillion” dedicated to transitioning the world’s economy away from fossil fuels. That dollar figure is higher than global GDP.
