Canada’s premiers have sent a letter to the prime minister demanding a thorough review of the bail system after the homicide of a Surrey, B.C., woman.
Tori Dunn, 30, was killed in her home on June 16. Her death prompted an outpouring of grief in the Metro Vancouver suburb.
The man who has been arrested in the killing, Adam Troy Mann, was released from jail just days before the fatal assault despite a lengthy criminal history and current criminal charges for an unrelated robbery.
OTTAWA—Inconsistencies in how Meta is implementing its Canadian news ban, and gaps in the Liberal law that spurred it, are creating loopholes that are hurting news businesses, some media executives say.
Chuck Lapointe, the CEO of the Narcity Media Group, says his team has spent the past several months collecting hundreds of posts from entertainment accounts on Facebook and Instagram that repackage news content from more legitimate sources — which can’t reap the benefits of posting that content themselves because of Meta’s ban.
One of the Royal Canadian Navy’s newest ships is sitting in a U.S. port awaiting repairs because of flooding and mechanical problems.
HMCS Max Bernays, one of the new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS), is now in Pearl Harbor as specialists try to figure out how long it will take to be repaired, sailors have told this newspaper.
The ship was delivered in 2022 to the navy by Irving Shipbuilding.
We’ve already admitted more foreign students into Canada than we did in the same time period last year.
In the middle of a housing crisis.
At a time when health systems across the country struggle to hire enough doctors and nurses to care for the population that is already here.
The Canada Summer Jobs program is currently undergoing a performance review by the Auditor General and the findings are scheduled to be reported by year’s end, according to a federal government memo.
It is the first audit since those administering the government program were accused of discrimination by Christian employers applying for Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) grants.
While Canadians have watched in disbelief as European Union members such as Ireland considers culling 200,000 cows to save the climate from farts, our Federal Liberal government upped their proposed methane emission cuts for Canada’s oil and gas sector to 75% below 2012 levels by 2030.
It’s a circle that can’t be easily squared.
On the one hand, there’s the spectacle of Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly happily abasing herself at the feet of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Friday after being summoned to China to take instruction on how Canada should behave itself as Xi Jinping persists in flouting international trade rules, accelerates his encirclement of Taiwan and pours ever greater resources into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
You might not know much about Steven MacKinnon, but for the past six months, his job in the House of Commons has been to take the questions the Prime Minister would rather avoid. Those are the ones without easy answers where the government wants to deflect blame, drown debate, or stall.
As the government’s acting House Leader, filling in during the maternity leave of Karina Gould, Mr. MacKinnon fielded all manner of uncomfortable questions. And right after he was sworn in as Labour Minister on Friday, he was doing the same thing outside Rideau Hall.
The new interim director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service authored a report maligning concerns about gender ideology as a domestic security threat.
Even as federal Liberal government is pledging to cap the number of international study permits, its own data show Canada is approving permits at a pace faster than last year, which saw a record number of approvals.
According to numbers curated online by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada handed out 216,620 international study permits in the first five months of 2024.
The little prick is currently on vacation.
There is no denying that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rescued Canada’s Liberals from a looming annihilation in 2015.
His political achievement was quite extraordinary. He moved the Liberals from third-party position in the House to a majority government in 2015.
Everyone with a brain cell knew he was unqualified, but no one could have predicted the disaster he would prove to be for Canada.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she didn’t soft-pedal Beijing’s interference in Canadian affairs or its human-rights record during blunt talks with her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi last week, a one-day visit aimed at reopening channels of dialogue after six years of a deep freeze in bilateral relations.
Ms. Joly met with the Chinese foreign minister for three and a half hours at the Diaoyutai State Guest House in Beijing on Friday but the two ministers did not break any significant ground in strained bilateral relations. A major reset is unlikely in part because of unfavourable perceptions of China among Canadians, she said.
Uh, what is Joly talking about? It’s not “the government” that has a problem with China interfering in our elections, threatening our citizens etc. but “Canadian perceptions”? …What? https://t.co/3uvO0fke47 pic.twitter.com/tbm7v6S5bp

Like clockwork, in the months before each federal election is called, a number of MPs from each party will announce they are not running for re-election, each with his or her own particular reason. This time around, the numbers tell an interesting story.
The previous two elections saw 59 MPs in 2019 and 34 MPs in 2021 quitting or not seeking re-election by the time the writ was dropped. Of these, in 2019, 24 were from the governing Liberals, 21 were Conservatives, and 14 were NDP, and in 2021, 19 were Liberals, nine were Conservatives, and the other six were NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Independent.
In April, PM Justin Trudeau announced more funding for infrastructure to further his housing program. A program that is hoped will accomplish two things both not usually mentioned.
The first is to sway young voters to stick with the Liberal Party because they are fleeing. The second is to help urbanize as much of Canada as possible. The second goal is justified because of environmental concerns, but also includes vote buying. City dwellers require more government supported services such as public transportation and this often drives votes to the Liberal party. There is also money to get people to use public transit in the 2024 budget. Much of this is also a coverup of the disaster Trudeau’s immigration policy has wrought.
The toxic effects of the Hamas’ October 7 massacre in Israel have spilled over into Canada in the form of a sharp intensification of antisemitic incidents.
As Deborah Lyons, Canada’s former ambassador to Israel and now its special envoy on preserving Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism, said recently, “It’s clear from the data we’re seeing, particularly coming from police units across Canada, that there’s a huge increase in antisemitism in terms of hate crimes happening. I would say the level of antisemitism now in Canada is at an all-time high. It’s unprecedented.”
Maybe we shouldn’t have imported an Islamist 5th Column after all!
Maybe we shouldn’t have allowed our universities to become racist Marxist shitholes!
Maybe we shouldn’t have declared open season on White People under the guise of DEI and CRT!
