WASHINGTON, D.C. — In recent weeks, we’ve learned that Canadian military leaders war-gamed U.S. military action against Canada earlier this year, with Prime Minister Mark Carney having described it as an “extreme tail risk,” in an interview last month with the New York Times.
It’s no secret the long-held Canadian consensus on immigration has fractured — pulled apart by a rapid increase in new arrivals post-pandemic and growing affordability challenges. Now, that fracture is starting to show up at the ballot box.
The Parti Québécois won a minority mandate in Quebec on a platform that included promises of tighter immigration controls, which the party linked to protecting French culture and easing pressure on public services and housing.
Recently the first Canada Investment Summit put 167 projects before global investors and set a target of $1 trillion in new capital over five years.
The pitch was for pipelines, mines, ports and data centres: large projects seeking big cheques. It is the right ambition for a country whose most important trading relationship has been put in a blender.
It is also incomplete.
Four days before the latest test of this 159-year-old Confederation — a nation that has given the world both insulin and Céline Dion — Mark Carney went to Calgary to make the case for carrying on.
“Canada isn’t perfect, but we are the best,” he said. “And we are getting better.”
A day before Carney arrived, Naheed Nenshi, the leader of Alberta NDP and the former mayor of Calgary, was asked what he wanted to hear from the prime minister. Nenshi said Carney needed to make the argument that “Canada works.”
Canada works for grifters not Canadians.
Federal immigration policy, and its effects on the ongoing housing and affordability crisis, is front and centre in Canadian politics once again.
First off, Prime Minister Mark Carney, while speaking outside of Canada to journalists at the New York Times on Sept. 23, suggested his Liberal government is looking to increase immigration following efforts to reduce numbers since forming government in 2025.
Who except a few twisted self-flagellants would vote for their own erasure?
No one.
This is a criminal act against the citizens of Canada.

Federal Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says the government will force a sale of Stelco’s Canadian operations if planned layoffs aren’t rescinded — and she didn’t rule out Ottawa taking a stake.
“They must keep the jobs in Canada or face the prospect of having to sell their Canadian assets,” Joly warned U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs in a speech to the Canadian Club in Toronto Friday.
OTTAWA — As Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers boost exports to Canada, the country’s former spy chief warned that everything you do in or around one of those cars will be acquired by China.
In a rare interview last month, former CSIS head David Vigneault did not mince his words: China’s theft of Western intellectual property amounts to a “lost generation of prosperity” for Canada. Furthermore, the Chinese government will use Chinese electric vehicles to further harvest data on Canadians and foreigners, he told the BBC’s The Interview.
Responding to the current global energy crisis, many Western leaders have declared that the way to remove geopolitical threats to energy security is to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. This is a grave error. It rests on the faulty assumption that renewable energy is riskless, immune to price volatility, and secure because it is produced at home.
Follow the renewable energy deals far enough, and they mostly lead back to Beijing.
Some moments in Canadian politics don’t need satire. You simply describe what the government is doing and let the absurdity speak for itself.
LNG Canada has announced a $33-billion Phase 2 expansion of its massive natural gas liquefaction plant at Kitimat, BC. This is exactly the kind of project Canada desperately needs: private investment, Canadian natural gas, thousands of construction jobs, and another major export route to Asia. The expansion will double LNG production from roughly 14 million to 28 million tonnes annually. That part should be celebrated.
Then we get to the steel.
OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Lena Diab is signalling immigration levels will be going up, as Canada’s population growth has seen a significant slowdown over the past two years.
In September, Prime Minister Mark Carney told The New York Times that Canada will eventually resume a “controlled increase” in its population once the immigration system remains fully under control.
Greedy bastards are happily destroying Canada to line their pockets.
I welcome a US invasion rather than being overrun by Carney’s 3rd World Mercenaries
OTTAWA — As a cross-party delegation of Canadian members of Parliament traveled to Taiwan this week, a coalition of Chinese Canadian “reunification” associations demanded that the federal government “restrain its members of parliament from inappropriate behavior related to Taiwan.”
World Food Day falls on Friday, Oct.16. For Canada, the occasion exposes an uncomfortable contradiction. We are an agricultural powerhouse, with productive farms, extensive trade networks and internationally respected research. Yet millions of Canadians struggle to afford the food our economy helps produce.
The global anti-Israel group Palestine Action has been listed as a terrorist group in the U.K and the U.S. for attempting to coerce governments by attacking businesses and defence infrastructure and for promoting violent terrorist acts. Since April, its Canadian branch has claimed responsibility for attacking four warehouses here. What is the federal government waiting for?
Palestine Action Canada claims responsibility for an overnight attack against GeoSpectrum Technologies in Peterborough, ON.
Has this been reported by any mainstream outlets?

Prime Minister Mark Carney told thousands rallying in Calgary on Thursday night that Albertans should vote to keep the province in Canada, arguing that failing to do so will cause “deep division and great uncertainty.”
Carney spoke at a Forever Canadian rally ahead of Monday’s referendum on the whether the province should stay in Confederation or hold a second, binding referendum on separation.
During her time as Canada’s unofficial first lady, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau said she never saw her “former partner as a prime minister.”
“I knew it was his job, but come on,” the soon-to-be 52-year-old told Talia Bronfman and Jessica Green, hosts of Canadian podcast Built For This, in a recent episode.
“Like snap out of every role you’re in, because if you believe it for half a second you’re doomed, and including celebrity.”
