With no sign of Justin Trudeau leaving, some Liberal MPs want major changes in his cabinet: ‘Clearly, what’s happening is not working’

OTTAWA—Last week’s tiny cabinet change did nothing to appease those in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s caucus who think a broader shuffle of key government ministers would help save the Liberal party from electoral defeat.

Several MPs who spoke to the Star in recent days said they still want to see a cabinet shuffle before Parliament returns for the fall session. Some shared specific ideas for who should be moved, with four Liberal sources naming Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Some also welcomed the idea of former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney joining Trudeau’s team.

Matthew Lau: Finally, an audit is coming of Trudeau’s national daycare disaster

In May, the Association of Day Care Operators of Ontario asked the Auditor General of Canada to audit the Liberal government’s national $10-per-day daycare program. According to the letter, co-signed by the executive director of the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators, chair of the Alberta Association of Childcare Entrepreneurs and executive director of the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools, the Liberals have failed to deliver universal childcare, the failures to date are more than just growing pains, and many families risk losing their childcare access.

The rich world revolts against sky-high immigration

Immigrants are increasingly unwelcome. Over half of Americans favour “deporting all immigrants living in the us illegally back to their home country”, up from a third in 2016. Just 10% of Australians favour more immigration, a sharp fall from a few years ago. Sir Keir Starmer, Britain’s new centre-left prime minister, wants Britain to be “less reliant on migration by training more uk workers”. Anthony Albanese, Australia’s slightly longer-serving centre-left prime minister, recently said his country’s migration system “wasn’t working properly” and wants to cut net migration in half. And that is before you get to Donald Trump, who pledges mass deportations if he wins America’s presidential election—an example populist parties across Europe hope to follow.


We do not require masses of immigrants to open up an unsettled land nor are we in the midst of an “Industrial revolution” and there are no more continental railways to be built.

Mass immigration serves only to line the pockets of the greed driven corporate class and earn the good will of ethnic vote blocs for our slimy politicos.

Our elites care nothing for you and your family they are destroying Canada for their own vile ends.

Trudeau demands Israeli response to ICJ advice on occupied Palestinian territory

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for Israel to “respond substantively” to the top United Nations court’s recent advisory opinion that Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful and that it should end.

The court’s non-binding opinion released last week was an unprecedented, sweeping condemnation of Israel’s rule over the lands it captured 57 years ago.

Trudeau responded to the court’s advice as part of a joint statement from Canada, Australia and New Zealand today, calling for the reversal of settlements in the West Bank.

Taxpayer-funded guidebook on preventing hate calls out Conservatives

Access To Information records show that a taxpayer-funded guidebook suggested the Conservative Party might have bigots and young white nationalists trying to join its ranks, reports Blacklock’s Reporter.

“They sometimes attempt to infiltrate mainstream Conservative political parties,” states the guidebook called Confronting And Preventing Hate In Canadian Schools that was approved by former diversity minister Ahmed Hussen’s office.

Matthew Lau: Torontonians’ truly awful travel options — taking the car or public transit

Everyone who relies on the Toronto Transit Commission to get to work or school knows “TTC” really stands for “Take The Car.” But given the horrendous traffic drivers must deal with, that’s not a great option either. An Ipsos poll for the Toronto Region Board of Trade finds 86 per cent of respondents agree either strongly (45 per cent) or somewhat (41 per cent) that “there is a traffic and congestion crisis in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).” Similarly, 85 per cent agree that “traffic and congestion have a negative impact on the economy in the GTA.”

Vancouver’s Langara College among those bracing for drastic plunge in foreign students

Langara College is preparing for drastic cuts in enrolment, particularly of high-fee-paying international students.

Langara president Paula Burns has told faculty there has been a 79 per cent drop in foreign student applications for the spring of 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Good. I hope they’re forced to close.

Canada revoking JNF Canada charitable status, JNF says motive antisemitic

The Canadian Revenue Agency notified the Jewish National Fund Canada that it was revoking the organization’s charitable status because the government body did find its original 1967 main charitable object unacceptable, the JNF said in a statement and newsletter on Thursday.

JNF Canada national president Nathan Disenhouse and CEO Lance Davis announced in a statement dated Wednesday and published Thursday that they had launched a legal challenge against CRA with the Federal Court of Appeal.

Poilievre says Ontario teenager’s killing shows Liberal, NDP policies are wacko

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre blamed a national rise in crime and the recent killing of an Ontario teenager on what he calls failed Liberal and NDP policies.

Poilievre delivered a stump speech in London, Ont., Thursday, just one day after the community held a vigil for Breanna Broadfoot, 17, who police say was a victim of intimate partner violence.


Latest Abacus Poll

For the sixth survey in a row, the gap between the Conservatives and the Liberals remains consistent.

If an election were held today, 42% of committed voters would vote Conservative, while 23% would vote for the Liberals, 20% for the NDP, and 4% for the Greens. The BQ continues to hold 38% in Quebec.

Deborah Lyons: Courageous leadership is needed to combat antisemitism in Canada

On October 7, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust — murdering over 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking hundreds of hostages. Just nine days later, I was appointed as Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism.

Some might say that I consistently find myself in difficult jobs, during especially excruciating times, having most recently led the United Nations’ efforts in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in 2021. But this role is different. As a diplomat, I dealt with issues that impacted Canada’s relationship with other countries, but as Special Envoy, I’m dealing with an issue that is challenging Canada’s very own relationship with itself, its social cohesion, democratic values, and national security.


This is really sad. Lyons advocates for interfaith dialogue and all the usual Kumbaya nonsense. No one buys this crap save out of touch white guilt suffering bozos like her. The Islamists are laughing at us. Pity they didn’t allow comments.

Liberals’ emissions reduction plan will impose massive costs on Canadians

Many Canadians are unhappy about the carbon tax. Its proponents argue it’s the cheapest way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is true. But the government’s problem is that even as the tax hits the upper limit of what people are willing to pay, emissions haven’t fallen nearly enough to meet the federal target of at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Indeed, since the temporary 2020 COVID-era drop, national GHG emissions have been rising, in part due to rapid population growth.

Bank of Canada warns high volume of immigrants driving up cost of rent

Bank of Canada (BoC) analysts on Wednesday disputed cabinet claims immigration is an immediate net benefit to the country, and warned the rapidly increasing population is costing Canadians.

Immigrants typically drive up rents, are slow to get a job and contribute “to inflationary pressures in some sectors,” said BoC in a monetary policy report, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

Canada Has Third-Worst GDP Growth per Capita Among 30 Top Economies

Canada is one of the worst performing advanced economies when it comes to GDP growth per person, a new study suggests.

Canada had the third-lowest growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per person from 2014 to 2022, coming 28th out of 30 other countries, according to a report published by the Fraser Institute.

“In terms of GDP per person, a broad measure of living standards, Canada’s performance has weakened substantially in recent years,” Fraser Institute director Alex Whalen said in a July 23 press release.

Colby Cosh: The bankers’ revolt against Canada’s tidal wave of immigration

I continue to be weirded out by the unfamiliar, almost uncanny nature of what I think we can call Canada’s immigration crisis — i.e., the apparent effects on labour markets, housing, services and infrastructure of an ill-managed and virtually unprecedented deluge of humanity. (And, no, I don’t think the super-immigration of the homesteading era qualifies as a precedent.) What’s unfamiliar about this is that critiques of government immigration policy have been led, in Canada, almost exclusively by economists. There is as yet no sign of widespread populist revolt against very high immigration; it is the bean-counters, the nerdy jugglers of abstractions, who are losing their patience with Liberal heedlessness.

Michael Higgins: Trudeau deserves a vacation. It’s in his power to make it permanent

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to be commended for the way he dealt with an intrusive journalist while on a beach in Tofino this week.

It would have been easy for Trudeau’s security detail to prevent Keean Bexte, editor-in-chief of the conservative news outlet The Counter Signal, from asking questions or getting near the prime minister.
