A new report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer says Prime Minister Mark Carney can define his annual federal deficits any way he likes, but the fact is they’re going to be higher for the next five years than the Liberals predicted in their spring mini-budget just 37 days ago.
OTTAWA — Some Liberals are defending Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership style, saying he can be tough when needed but has always stayed respectful in their experience.
Carney’s caucus management has been under close scrutiny ever since a report by the Toronto Star came out alleging he has lashed out at caucus members — with one saying he’s yelled at them — or made them feel like he is not interested in their concerns.
OTTAWA — Fearing the move could trigger a massive price spike, the federal government is directing Canada’s broadcast regulator to review its contentious plan to regulate and tax foreign streaming platforms.
Canada’s Identity and Culture Minister Marc Miller made the announcement on Wednesday, a reaction to the contentious May 21 decision by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commissions (CRTC) requiring streaming giants such as Spotify and Netflix to spend some of their Canadian-sourced revenue to acquire or produce Canadian programming.
Something weird is happening in the fevered little beaver brains of the Canadian collective. The world is going to pot, yet here we are feeling more chipper than we have in years.
Oil costs a fortune, no one can afford houses and don’t even get me started about health care. Food costs are through the roof. Tech bosses are blithely unleashing algorithms hardly anyone understands and apparently no one can control.
Canada has an antisemitism problem, but listening to our politicians, government agencies and some in the media, it’s easy to get the impression that no one really knows where the hatred is coming from or who is committing attacks against Jews.
In his much-discussed speech Monday at a Toronto synagogue, Prime Minister Mark Carney called out Jew-hate as a “crisis” that is testing the very “nature” of our country. He tacitly admitted that some immigrants are bringing old-world hatreds with them when he said, “When you come to Canada, you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story. You leave behind your wars and your animosities.”
Islamic extremism is enthusiastically supported by our so called “elites” in government, the academy, the justice system, the media, policing and unions.
I won’t even hazard a guess on how much our political class spends on KY Jelly per Islamist vote.

OTTAWA — On the evening of June 1, at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney told an audience of Jewish leaders something no Canadian prime minister had said so plainly: that the country’s “civic compact is failing Jewish Canadians.” Antisemitism, he said, had surged to levels not seen since the postwar period.
To mark the moment, he unveiled the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion, with the former senator Marc Gold, a past chair of the Jewish Federations of Canada, among its members.
Within a single day the gesture was already coming apart.
Jewish groups dismiss as ineffectual the appointment of @CdnHeritage committee to investigate anti-Semitism. “Canada is not facing an anti-Semitism awareness problem. The country has been poisoned with Jew hatred and we need a remedy.”

Miller is a stupid magnet.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he isn’t surprised by the Trump administration’s plan to slap import levies on goods allegedly made with forced labour.
A report released from U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer’s office on Tuesday listed dozens of countries, including Canada, as having varying degrees of ineffective enforcement rules around goods made with forced labour.
The report accused Canada and a handful of other countries of failing to “effectively enforce” import bans on such items. As a result, the U.S. government will hit goods not compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement with a 10 per cent levy.
Canadians pay a premium for dairy products because they have been told that supply management protects Canadian farmers, strengthens domestic production, and safeguards our food sovereignty. Whether one supports the system or not, that has always been the bargain: Consumers pay more in exchange for stability, predictability, and a secure domestic food supply.
That is why newly released government records related to Canada Royal Milk in Kingston, Ont. deserve far more attention than they have received.
Five years ago, a moral panic gripped Canada over a story that was obviously fake but that so perfectly confirmed the biases of anti-Catholic liberals, no one in the media or the political establishment bothered to check its veracity.
This of course was the hoax about the purported discovery of “mass graves” of indigenous children at what was once a government boarding school run by the Catholic Church. In late May 2021, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation claimed that ground-penetrating radar had revealed hundreds of graves near the site of a former school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Tribal leaders cited the radar survey as proof that scores of indigenous Canadian children had been buried in unmarked mass graves at the school.
In response to rising antisemitism in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a new racism advisory board on Monday and tasked it with assessing antisemitism in the country.
However, the board included among its members a politician who had previously rejected describing the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades as a terrorist organization, along with a lawyer who had represented anti-Israel encampment activists.
US President Donald Trump’s administration is proposing additional tariffs of 10% or more to be imposed on its trading partners following a probe into countries importing goods allegedly made with forced labor.
In a report released Wednesday, the US Trade Representative (USTR) said it had found that 60 economies had failed to “impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor,” calling it a “burden” to US commerce.
… An additional 10% tariff will be imposed on imports from Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Pakistan, the UK and EU nations. These are countries which, according to Washington’s investigation, impose a forced labor import prohibition, that have undertaken commitments on forced labor or have partially prevented the import of forced labor goods.
OTTAWA — Conservatives are pushing the government to abolish the Temporary Foreign Worker program after newly released government figures showed the program cost Ottawa $1.6 billion over the past five years.
The figures were released through an Order Paper question submitted by Conservative MP Brad Vis.
Year after year, Toronto police have allowed Muslim pro-terrorist mobs to invade and harass the Jewish community. Now, PM Mark Carney has declared that there is a “scourge of antisemitism” and plans to combat it with a DEI council.
As MPs gathered in the House of Commons at 2 p.m. Monday for daily question period, Prime Minister Mark Carney was 20 minutes away, posing for a photo op in front of a housing development in his riding.
The Leader of the Official Opposition, Pierre Poilievre, had hoped the prime minister would be present in the House of Commons to answer questions about the economy, given that, on Friday, Statistics Canada noted that gross domestic product output shrank during the quarter ending March 31, the second consecutive quarter in which the economy contracted.
OTTAWA — On May 6, Guangming Daily — not just an official Chinese Communist Party newspaper, but allegedly the favored mouthpiece of the world’s largest intelligence agency — published an admiring essay under a headline that reads “From dependence to autonomy: how the Carney government is reimagining Canada–U.S. relations.” The piece, which approvingly amplified Carney’s odd choice to flourish a figurine of the British general Isaac Brock, famed for repelling an American invasion in 1812, does not report on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s rupture with Washington so much as celebrate it.
