A growing gap is emerging between financially secure Canadians benefiting from rising asset values and those struggling to keep up with everyday expenses, according to a new Angus Reid Institute survey.
The poll found 70% of Canadians describe their household finances as either “good” or “very good,” but more than one-quarter (27%) say they are in poor or very poor financial condition.
HE Canadian parliament has passed Bill C-9, known as the Combating Hate Act; it received Royal Assent on June 18 and the provisions come into force on July 18. Mark Carney, the liberal Prime Minister, considers that the legislation is ‘a huge step forward in our mission to build a stronger, safer country’.
Bill C-9 will usher in a ‘dark day’ for Canadians of faith. Conservative MP Brad Redekopp described the Bill as ‘a tool to enforce liberal DEI ideology while leaving fundamental freedoms dangerously exposed’. Such is the danger to the church that the legislation been dubbed the ‘Bible Ban’ Bill.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Parliament to probe Ottawa’s proposal to convert unsold condominium units in British Columbia into affordable housing.
In a letter to the House ethics committee, Poilievre says a program to possibly help finance the purchase of 2,200 vacant condos amounts to a “condo bailout” for developers, bankers and investors.
OTTAWA — China keeps finding inventive ways to burrow into the West, and Canada’s new appetite for Chinese electric vehicles may be the most consequential opening yet.
That is the warning at the center of a report published this week by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and written by Brenda Shaffer, an energy and national-security specialist who teaches at the United States Naval Postgraduate School.
Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto several weeks ago and denounced antisemitism and stated that, “Unity is not uniformity … our differences are strengths to be nurtured, not risks to be managed.” All Canadians of at least the age of seven have heard similar remarks by public figures, but they do not address the requirement of the comprehensive defence of minorities, and in particular the Jewish population. Carney flattered himself and his government for introducing Bill C-9, the Combating Hate Act, which has been described in this column before and has raised more concerns about the curtailment of freedom of expression than comfort for threatened minorities.
With Prime Minister Mark Carney floating the idea Canada should restore diplomatic relations with Iran, could he at least set some pre-conditions, since this would be a huge propaganda victory for its murderous Islamic dictatorship?
The good news is the US invasion will be quick and near bloodless.
On Saturday night in Kyiv, you could hear the beat of techno music coming from behind the thick line of trees along a busy road as an air-raid siren wailed, warning of a possible attack.
A path winding through the wooded area led to an open-air industrial site where people danced in the fog of artificial smoke to a DJ performing on a stage that flashed red and gold lights. It was only 6:30 p.m. − the whole party being held under a bright blue sky.
So your tax dollars are being used to make the world safe for Ukraine’s Drag Queens. That’s just swell.

Canadians can be forgiven for feeling smug when they look across the pond at the disarray in British politics. The United Kingdom has had six prime ministers in 10 years and, if things go as expected, will soon have a seventh.
What a mess. The Canadian political scene is so much calmer, more settled, more stable. But is our way of doing things really so superior?
Public unrest is usually treated as a problem the government must solve. Disorder appears, the public grows anxious, politicians step forward, and the state promises to restore calm. On the surface, it sounds reasonable. Isn’t that what government is supposed to do?
But what if unrest is not merely a problem for the government, but an opportunity? What if fear, anger, and division become the raw material from which governments manufacture more power?
After years of criminal justice reform that included a lighter touch for some offenders, the federal Liberal government has done an about-face and enacted stricter policies to tamp down on crime rates that have become a political liability in some vote-rich parts of the country.
While much of the public’s attention has been focused on the U.S. trade dispute and persistent affordability concerns, the Liberal government’s legislative agenda in the most recent parliamentary sitting was heavily weighted toward a crime crackdown.
Justice Minister Sean Fraser restored some mandatory minimum sentences, mostly targeting firearms and child sex crimes, and tightened bail laws designed to keep more repeat, violent offenders locked up for longer.
Law and order? As in a surveillance state with two tiered justice.
OTTAWA — For a fifth consecutive record-breaking year, the number of new immigration cases pouring into Canada’s Federal Court has surged and may exceed 30,000 files in 2026 — nearly five times the volume handled before the pandemic. Among the steepest increases is one that exposes the systemic crisis and illuminates a legal backlash against border enforcement efforts.
Urgent motions to halt deportations have jumped 54 percent in a single year, the court says.
Carney is flooding the zone with crisis after crisis.
Healthcare, food insecurity, the housing shortage, absence of official accountability, policing, foreign influence, Islamist entryism, the unwillingness to protect our borders, with almost all having their root cause linked in whole or in part to the LPC’s criminally exploitive mass immigration scam.
Immigration is supposed to benefit the host nation, in Canada it is used as a weapon by Carney and his profiteers to keep us under heel.
OTTAWA – U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says when it comes to Canada’s ongoing F-35 fighter jet review, a potential mixed fleet will not put Norad in jeopardy.
“One decision will not kill Norad,” Hoekstra said in an exclusive broadcast interview with CTV News chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos.
“What we’re always going to look for is what is the total capability that we believe we need to keep America safe, that we need to keep North America safe, the Western Hemisphere safe from the threats that are out there,” he later added.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised to reboot Canada’s economy, building it into the “strongest in the G7”.
He has spent weeks travelling overseas in the last year seeking to drum up business interest in Canada as an investment destination.
But there is no doubt the country’s economy is struggling, and from tariffs on certain industries to younger Canadians struggling to find work or buy a home, some Canadians are feeling the pain more than others.
Earlier this month, Cenovus Energy CEO Jon McKenzie sharply criticized the federal-Alberta agreement that links support for a West Coast oil sands pipeline to carbon capture and storage (CCS) and industrial carbon pricing.
He described the industrial carbon tax as “insidious” and said industry has been clear that it should be revoked. He also noted that the Pathways Alliance CCS project itself carries an estimated cost as high as $30 billion.
