Canadian researchers are calling for a more coordinated response by G7 countries to counter “systemic” Chinese foreign interference, particularly as technology and tactics evolve and Beijing’s agents embed themselves further into societies.
Wednesday’s report by the Montreal Institute for Global Security comes a day before Canada is set to welcome China’s foreign minister to Ottawa for the first time in a decade.
Hmmmmm someone make Xi angry!
Is Canada on track to meet its climate goals? The honest answer is “no” — and the really honest answer is that Canada’s climate goals will never be reached. They are folly and were designed by climate ideologues who had no concept of consequence, economic reality or understanding of how Canada was founded and thrived before and after we became a nation. This way of thinking has damaged the country.
The debate is increasingly polarized with positions hardened on all sides. Yet the economic implications of net-zero policies cannot be ignored. In an increasingly unstable world, energy security is no longer theoretical — it is strategic. Climate policy that outpaces economic reality will not succeed.

Prime Minister Mark Carney told a crowd of New York industry titans and financiers on Thursday that Canada and the U.S. need to pursue a new partnership — a bilateral relationship premised not on how things were done in the past but one where a stronger, more independent Canada can selectively help “make America great again.”
Carney said as U.S. President Donald Trump prompts “tectonic shifts” in trade, and as the world becomes “more divided and dangerous,” Canada must focus more on “taking care of ourselves” and building up at home by embracing its status as an energy superpower.
But that doesn’t mean Canada wants to close itself off from the U.S., Carney said in lunchtime remarks to about 200 attendees at the city’s Yale Club.
The reality is that many Albertans — and not just those already convinced that separation is the only answer — are legitimately frustrated with their province’s status in Canada.
Gratuitously insulting them over the next five months, at least, as Albertans debate their future role in or outside of Confederation, serves no purpose.
The CBC. Absolute arsehole of journalism in Canada.
The United States has informed its European allies of its plan to significantly cut its military contribution to NATO, the German news outlet Spiegel reported on Tuesday.
The Europeans are scuttling to fill the gaps that will be left by departing American warships and fighter jets.
But the ripple effects may be felt far beyond Eastern Europe.
Should the Liberal government decide to go with the ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) bid, the German shipbuilder has now pledged to deliver four Type 212-CD submarines to the Canadian Navy by 2036, the country’s defence minister tells CBC News.
Boris Pistorius said Wednesday that he has every confidence that the company will meet the delivery goal, which emerged early on as one of the major competitive differences between TKMS and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean shipyard.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and his entourage billed taxpayers $195,400 for gourmet in-flight meals during three international trips in 2025, according to records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
The documents show Carney’s flights to London, Rome and Brussels featured luxury meals including veal escalope, beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce, Scottish salmon fillet and “slow simmered beef with red wine reduction sauce.”
As prices for just about everything skyrocket and an untold number of Canadians are going deeper into debt trying to keep up, the Fraser Institute’s latest study is a reminder that Canada and the provinces have been hurdling their own roads of indebtedness since the 2008 recession.
In its latest research bulletin on the growing debt burden for Canadians, the public policy organization found that the combined federal and provincial net debt, adjusted for inflation, has nearly doubled from $1.24 trillion in 2007-08 to a projected $2.44 trillion this fiscal year, a growth of 97.7 per cent.
An average of up to 50,000 jobs could be created in Canada over the next five years should the federal government opt to buy the German-made Type 212CD submarine, CBC News has learned.
Up until this point in the fierce competition over the navy’s new submarines, both the German and Norwegian governments and the builder, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), have been reluctant to reveal strict details of the potential economic benefits that could accrue from their proposal.
There are 17 of them accused in a widespread campaign of terror and extortion of South Asians in Brampton.
Instead, cops, prosecutors, the Canada Border Services Agency, and others will serve up their usual po-faced approach and start scolding you for suggesting there is a problem of foreign criminals in this country.
Announcing her referendum question last week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith invoked the last prime minister’s name four times.
“When I was first elected premier, I was very concerned that it would be almost impossible to restore provincial rights stolen from Alberta and other provinces by the Trudeau-Singh government in Ottawa,” she said, also referencing the former NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh, whose caucus supported the Trudeau government from 2022 to 2024.
OTTAWA — Google and Apple are warning that the Carney government’s effort to make it easier for police and spies to intercept private communications risks opening up “backdoors” in their products that would hinder Canadians’ privacy and make their data vulnerable to malicious hackers.
Officials from the multibillionaire tech giants railed against the legislation that Ottawa has argued would modernize police and spy powers as they testified in front of a parliamentary committee Tuesday, claiming the proposed reforms are overly broad and pose a risk to encryption in a way that could undermine user trust and goes further than other Western countries.
Carney wants to shut down the internet like Iran.
Shrinking families and tepid homebuilding is paving the way to a future where homes will increasingly be inherited assets in Canada, passed down from one generation to the next.
It would mark a major shift from family homes being bought and sold, entrenching inequality across generations, with a lucky few inheriting secure housing and appreciating land wealth while others are permanently locked out. Yet this issue remains absent from Canada’s housing policy discussions, even though it is one all of us should be concerned about.
Canadians continue to face an uncertain future as income fails to keep pace with food price increases.
New data released from Statistics Canada showed that 24% of Canadians were living in a food-insecure household last year.
In real numbers, the percentage works out to approximately 9.8 million people, including 2.4 million children, living in households that struggled to afford the food needed.
Mark Carney was asked Monday about his role in the forthcoming Alberta referendum campaign and the response was reassuring.
The prime minister wasn’t exactly Henry V at Agincourt on St. Crispin’s Day, rallying his outnumbered troops in a call to arms.
But he is a veteran of these campaigns from his time in the United Kingdom during the Brexit and Scottish independence referendums. He knows that when emotions run high, a positive appeal is needed to offset gloomy portents about the certain costs, and uncertain gains, of independence.
