All paid for by sound to be wounded Canadian taxpayers.
Let them eat nothing while Prime Minister Mark Carney and his cabinet dine out on the finest the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel serves.
All paid for by sound to be wounded Canadian taxpayers.
The Elitist Media evening news continue their mission on trade, acting as spokespeople for the Canadian prime minister instead of reporting the full scope of US-Canada relations that led to the breakdown at the negotiating table. Over the weekend and through today, an alarming omission emerges.
The tariff war is on. The Trump administration hit us unjustifiably with tariffs, and, as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on the weekend, “All Canadians stand united in denouncing the president’s unacceptable tweets, trolling and tariffs…”
Trump’s tariffs, and our response, are going to hurt a lot of Canadians and Americans. The fight is mutually detrimental and will leave lasting scars of distrust between many Canadians and many Americans, which will take years to heal – if they ever do.
Carney kiboshed the negotiations because he wanted Chinese steel in Canadian manufactured trucks. Think about that.
Canada should take the hint.
On the eve of his decision this summer not to permanently extend CUSMA by another decade, U.S. President Donald Trump repeated a point he had made back in January 2025: “We don’t need their oil and gas.”
As 100 per cent of America’s natural-gas imports come from Canada (worth about $12 billion per year, all figures USD), along with 63 per cent ($125 billion per year) of its crude oil imports, our CUSMA negotiating team likely dismissed Trump’s comments as negotiating bluster.
Carney is not on Canada’s side.
The Canada–U.S. trade dispute has crossed another threshold. What began with tariffs moved to counter-tariffs and has now reached outright import bans on both sides of the border. The economic pain is no longer theoretical.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned Canadians that reducing our dependence on the United States will come at a cost. At least he was honest. But Canadians deserve to know how much pain, who will bear it and what economic outcome their sacrifice is expected to purchase.
Ottawa had no guarantees that Saab’s GlobalEye surveillance plane could meet military requirements when it began negotiations to acquire six of the Swedish manufacturer’s early warning and control aircraft last spring, CBC News has learned.
Sources added that the most recent assessment of the GlobalEye came to the conclusion that the aircraft meets only a portion of the military’s requirements and that modifications will be needed to achieve operational readiness.
The federal Liberals’ policy of joining allies in punishing Israel, without providing any constructive solutions for bringing peace to the Middle East, continued apace on Tuesday, when Foreign Minister Anita Anand, along with her counterparts from several European countries, issued a joint statement pledging to “bring forward national measures to ban trade” in goods originating from Israeli settlements.
The European Union and Canada are working toward a new, all-encompassing relationship that will range from trade to security, as the transatlantic partners seek to build a new alliance to offset the global power politics dominated by the US and China.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the top executive of the EU, is expected to announce the plans at her state of the union address in Strasbourg, France, Sept. 16, according to people familiar with the preparations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the speech then address European lawmakers the following day.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is warning Canadians that the country’s pivot away from the United States will come at a cost, but that the alternative would be far worse.
In a national video address set to be released Tuesday — hours after Canada’s retaliatory tariffs kicked in — Carney reiterated Canada’s plan to respond to the U.S. trade war by striking new trade deals with other countries to become less reliant on the U.S
Carney feels your pain. And he wishes more for you.
Carney: “This is about who we are as Canadians. It’s about our livelihoods and the country we leave to our kids. Adversity only makes us stronger. It always has. We are maîtres chez nous.” pic.twitter.com/L2u0vII0hz

OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for more transparency from the prime minister as Ottawa is set to impose counter tariffs on American goods on Tuesday.
U.S. President Donald Trump last month launched tariffs on goods ranging from hockey sticks and cement to honey, after trade talks between the two nations broke down.
Countervailing Canadian tariffs are set to affect American goods such as dairy products, plywood and sunscreen.
OTTAWA — Canada’s military reopened a formal channel to China’s People’s Liberation Army last Friday for the first time in eight years, and Canadians have learned of it only from Beijing.
China’s defence ministry says Canada and China revived their formal Defence Coordination Dialogue on September 4.
Canadians have learned of the meeting not from their own government, but from a terse statement issued by Beijing.

Not the first time Canadians have had to rely on foreign sources for important news. It’s a perfect snapshot of the LPC’s contempt of this country.

Last year, 23,000 people in Canada died while waiting for surgery, contributing to a total of 100,000 deaths since 2018. Over the past decade, 76,000 individuals in Canada have been euthanized, with concerns that babies may soon be targeted. Additionally, the Communist Carney government recently allocated $2 billion to Ukraine, and a Western Standard article revealed that $11 billion has been distributed globally for gender propaganda.
Canada’s Credit Crunch: Peak Homebuyer Defaults & Renter Insolvencies Soar
Canadian households are cracking under the pressure of supersized debt loads. New data from TransUnion shows household debt hit $2.64 trillion in Q2 2026, up 4.6% from last year. The credit agency warns this growth is driven by rising balances, not new loans. Rising risk has already become apparent in soaring insolvencies and mortgage delinquencies.
“Religion has played a central role in the development of Canada.”
So claimed John S. Moir, the late professor of religious history in Canada, in 1980.
But a lot has changed since then. Religious affiliation has declined precipitously in recent decades, and religious beliefs have been increasingly relegated from the public square in the same span of time.
