Number of new submarines still undecided as Canada begins talks with German builder

OTTAWA — Canada might not buy a full slate of 12 submarines through its new partnership with Germany and Norway because of factors like advancing technology in autonomous underwater machines, says the government’s secretary of state for defence procurement.

In an interview with the Star on Wednesday, Stephen Fuhr said the government has not settled on how many 212CD submarines it will ultimately buy as negotiations begin on the purchase of “up to” 12 of the modern diesel-electric craft from German-based shipbuilder TKMS.

Canada Tells US There’s ‘No Basis’ for Forced Labour Tariffs

Ottawa told Washington its safeguards against imports made with forced labour are robust enough as the threat of additional U.S. tariffs looms.

The Canadian government filed an official response with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on July 6, the deadline for doing so.

“Canada respectfully submits that there is no basis for the imposition of additional Section 301 duties on Canadian goods,” says the document. It argues Canada has an existing prohibition against forced labour goods and has introduced new legislative measures to reinforce the regime.

Margareta Dovgal: Canada’s tumbling dollar is a symptom of Liberal mismanagement

As a university student in Vancouver a decade ago, I’d regularly hit up the Warehouse, an ultra-budget pub because they offered an enticing $5 burger or plate of pasta. I went back recently, and when I saw that the same items today run around $12, I felt something between shock and bereavement.

The average wages of Canadians certainly didn’t double. Canadians are earning about $1,300 a week, up roughly a third since 2016. That bump has been swallowed up, as everything has become more expensive — groceries alone have risen just as much. The asking rent on a Vancouver one-bedroom has, just like the burger, more than doubled. I do love to reminisce about the $800/month rent I landed for a two-bedroom back in 2013, split with a roommate. And then, I look at the $3,000 I pay today, and I can only grimace.

Trump has ‘won the argument’ on NATO defence spending, Carney says at summit

NATO countries are bolstering their militaries after U.S. President Donald Trump “won the argument” on defence spending, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday.

Trump has long said allies don’t spend enough on defence and that the U.S. has carried more than its fair share of NATO’s defence spending burden.

Carney told reporters in Turkey on the last day of the summit that Trump is looking to shift that burden – something former U.S. president Barack Obama had sought as well.

🚨 UPDATE: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has just stunned the world, telling all allies to "ADMIT TRUMP WAS RIGHT"

"The alliance that has leaned TOO HEAVILY on U.S. muscle is building its own — and buying American."

Priced at Zero: What Beijing Pays for Operating in Canada

OTTAWA — In late June Taiwan authorities arrested three tech executives over the alleged diversion of roughly $22 million in Nvidia AI servers bound for China. Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te put forward new national security laws and created a new website where citizens can safely report PRC spies to authorities. Recently a Taiwan court sentenced a former spy named Lu Chi-hsien to more than 12 years in prison for leaking top-secret information to China.

Mark Carney pitches Canada as a northern NATO power: ‘The Arctic is a front’

Canada will help lead a NATO defence force along the Arctic “front” as part of the military alliance’s efforts to expand security and protect against Russia in the High North.

But the announcement, by Prime Minister Mark Carney, comes as the fate of another ice-covered territory — Greenland — is once again cast into doubt by U.S. President Donald Trump.

We have a lot of announcements, that should get us to Moscow I bet.

WIECHNIK: Canadians were promised ‘diversity’ — instead received civilization decline

Another day, another example of Canada continuing its downward spiral.

This time we’ve got machete-wielding thugs slashing at women at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, BC.

Look at photos from the incident and, surprise, it’s the usual suspects.

A lot of “elite” people should be jailed for a very long time.

Carney’s Davos speech written at 4 a.m., Trump’s volatile call with Trudeau, and other things we learned from a WSJ article

This week, the Wall Street Journal published a two-part series, with the first part titled “There Is No Going Back: The Inside Story of Europe’s Rupture With America.” While it looked at the general situation in Europe, the second was all about Canada’s role, and specifically that of Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Its headline was “The Canadian Who Steered Europe Away From the U.S.,” with the subhead: “Facing threats from Trump, Mark Carney emerged as a central figure in a project to reshape the Western alliance.”

Why is Canada spending tens of billions on new submarines?

Canada is looking to spend tens of billions of dollars on a contract with German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) to replace Canada’s aging fleet of submarines with up to a dozen new vessels.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called it the biggest defence procurement project in Canada’s history.

Here’s why the purchase could stack up to a major price tag of $100 billion or more over the lifetime of the deal.

A lot of money sloshing around, some of it will land near to Carney’s feet.

They Broke Public Trust. Now They Want to Police Public Speech.

The crisis in the West is not that people stopped trusting institutions. It’s that the institutions continually give us reasons to stop.

According to a recent access to information memo, the federal government of Canada is now contemplating “legal action” against users on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media sites suspected of spreading “false and misleading information.” The censored 35-page document said, “This strategy seeks to uphold the integrity of—and public trust in—government information.

Ottawa sidelines foreign firms in $4.9B army vehicle competition

The Carney government quietly cancelled the second phase of a long-standing competition to provide the army with light utility vehicles and intends to “invite a limited number of Canadian suppliers” to bid directly, CBC News has learned.

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) issued a notice late Friday that says the federal government intends to “transition to an updated procurement approach.”

Whichever firm is most closely linked to Brookfield wins.

Carney backs latest U.S. strikes on Iran as Trump slams NATO allies

Prime Minister Mark Carney has backed the latest U.S. strikes on Iran, calling it an appropriate response to ceasefire violations.

The remarks were made on the way into the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, where U.S. President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over.

Trump again bashed the Western military alliance for not joining the U.S. and Israel in the war.

LILLEY: United Arab Emirates unlikely to walk away from plan to invest $70B in Canada

When Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the United Arab Emirates last November, he was looking to expand trade. What he didn’t expect was an offer by the U.A.E. to invest $70 billion in Canada over the coming years.

Jean Charest, the former Quebec premier and current co-chair of the Canada-U.A.E. Business Council, was there when the Emiratis made the offer.

U.S. Indictment Alleges Canada Border Agency Insider Sold Inspection Schedules to Indo-Mexican Cartel Network Moving Hundreds of Kilograms Weekly Into British Columbia

VANCOUVER — A sweeping American investigation into transnational Indian narcotics traffickers — the same case that names the political assassination of a Sikh separatist leader in Vancouver — alleges that a joined network of Indian and Mexican cartel operatives corrupted British Columbia’s border defenses, obtaining the Canada Border Services Agency’s truck-inspection schedules so that semi-loads of cocaine and methamphetamine collected in California could cross into Canada precisely where, and when, the inspectors were not.

Three Canadians named in international crackdown on ‘thugs’ running Indian prison-based crime group

Three arrests have been made in Canada as part of a sweeping international crackdown on an organized crime group — one U.S. authorities say was linked to the killing of a B.C. Sikh activist, a crime that sparked an international uproar.

The Lawrence Bishnoi group was hit with a combined 24 arrests during what authorities called “Operation Hard Ball,” based in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, authorities announced on Tuesday.

Some of the alleged crimes involved shipping drugs into Ontario and the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency have identified Peel region alongside B.C. as primary hubs for Bishnoi’s violence.

Another mess our so called elites created.
