Is high-speed rail the best way to spend $90-billion?

On Monday, federal Transportation Minister Steven MacKinnon announced that he’d like to see a change in the proposed route for Toronto-to-Quebec City high-speed rail. He called for a detour through, and stop in, Kingston.

It would only add a few minutes to the journey, he told The Globe and Mail.

The chief executive officer of Alto, the Crown corporation planning the line, echoed his political master. “It may add a couple of minutes,” Martin Imbleau told the Ottawa Citizen. “It would be marginal.”

FERGUSON: Canadians should reject the attempt to minimize their history and culture

Recent statements by Canadian politicians show that the Canadian political class wishes for Canadians to apologize for their history and minimize the qualities of their culture. Contrary to those statements, Canadians have little to apologize for and much to be proud of. Former prime minister Justin Trudeau famously remarked that Canada is a “post-national state without an identity.” Current Prime Minister Mark Carney recently remarked while in Ireland for the G7 summit that Canada is “a mosaic of cultures, not a melting pot.” In 2025, BC New Democratic MLA Rohini Arora said that Canadians should consider themselves to be “colonizers.” When Trudeau says that Canada does not have an identity, it minimizes the historical exceptionalism and qualities Canada has. As the current Prime Minister is attending an international event peddling Canada as a middle power, he is making the case that all cultures are compatible with Canadian culture. The comments from the New Democratic MLA in BC attempt to ensure that Canadians think their culture is so inferior to other cultures that Canadians should only consider themselves to be colonizers.

Michael Higgins: Carney’s so-called ‘major projects’ mired in endless environmental review

When Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to build at speeds not seen in generations, Canadians could be forgiven for thinking he meant to actually accelerate projects.

Friday marks the one-year-anniversary of the Building Canada Act receiving Royal Assent and since that time not one “nation-building” project has been approved under the legislation.

Carney says donor list for 24 Sussex restoration will be public

Prime Minister Mark Carney said the national fundraising campaign for the refurbishment of the prime minister’s official residence will place a limit on donations and make the list of donors public to ensure transparency in the project.

Carney said the Rideau Hall Foundation, which is running the fundraising campaign, will make a final decision on donation limits, but his “thinking is the limit would be 10 per cent of the overall amount raised or a specific cap.”

The donations will only be accepted if they are from individual Canadian citizens, permanent residents or philanthropic organizations. Corporations will not be allowed to participate.

Terry Newman: Israel expressed concern about ‘Nakba’ exhibit. Carney didn’t even bother responding

The National Post has learned that Prime Minister Mark Carney has not responded to a letter sent more than a week ago by Israel’s ambassador to Canada, outlining his concerns about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ “Nakba” exhibit, which is slated to open on Saturday.

Ambassador Iddo Moed said he wrote the letter because he was “greatly concerned” following the publication of several reports about the upcoming exhibit.

Terry Glavin: Beijing offers a poisoned chalice. Carney shouldn’t drink from it

It’s a war that’s underway everywhere, all the time. It’s being waged by Beijing and Moscow. It’s a hybrid war that confounds western intelligence agencies and transcends borders. Like conventional warfare, it involves mobilizations and sophisticated operations and devastating weaponry that lays waste to entire industries.

Mark Carney might be used to being the smartest guy in the room. That’s no guarantee of success in politics

I imagine Mark Carney was something of an autocrat even in the cradle, issuing directives and insulting subordinates from the earliest age. “Yeah, I’m not feeling this WubbaNub. Got any others?” “This is not a helpful suggestion. Go back and rework it to a different nap time.”

Certainly his has been a lifetime spent in preparation for, or the active enjoyment of, executive power: Harvard. Oxford. Goldman Sachs. As governor of the Bank of Canada, he would have been used to making all the final decisions, in consultation with a small group of senior advisers.

CHARLEBOIS: You can’t negotiate CUSMA with contradictions and false narratives

On July 1, Canada, the United States and Mexico begin the first formal review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). For most Canadians, it may seem like another bureaucratic milestone. For the agri-food sector, however, it could shape investment, food prices and trade flows for years to come.

‘Not acceptable in this country’: Food Banks Canada warns of rising visits by children in summer months

While many children look forward to having the time off during summer break, some lose access to food provided through at-school programs.

More than 700,000 visits were made to food banks by children in March 2025 – 340,000 more than the visits recorded in 2020 – accounting for one-third of all clients.

Erin Filey-Wronecki, chief development and partnerships officer at Food Banks Canada, said “that’s not acceptable in this country.”

NB: Newcomers (people in Canada for 10 years or less) made up nearly 34% of food bank clients in March 2025. This figure has been stable recently but rose sharply from 13% in 2019, amid broader growth in food bank visits (nearly 2.2 million in one month, roughly double 2019 levels).

I am suspicious of an infrastructure allegedly devoted to Foodbanks that is able to support a “chief development and partnerships officer” just as I was when foodbank overseas rice imports were claimed to be in jeopardy due to the the Iran war: Rice shipment heading for Toronto food banks struck near Iran, CEO says

CEO says? If you build it they will come.

Carney’s ridiculous, myopic plan to bail out condo developers

It is patently unfair that the Carney government has announced plans to bail out condo developers in British Columbia, without even a mention of the struggling venture capitalists in Ontario, the hedge fund managers in Quebec, and the corporate CEOs in Alberta.

Do they not have mouths to feed on their private yachts? Are they not also feeling pressure at the pumps (it’s not like you can put regular unleaded in a McLaren)? And what of the telco giants, who are struggling with sluggish growth and investment opportunities? Where is their billion dollars?

It’s good to see the Elbow people get what they voted for.

Amy Hamm: Remember when Katy Perry’s boyfriend tanked our economy?

I cannot take any more of Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry’s public romance. Yes, I know that by writing about it I am only drawing more attention to the matter — but please allow me to indulge in some catharsis, here. I’m certain that swathes of us Canadians are feeling the same revulsion towards the pair’s very public displays of affection, which include Trudeau staring Perry down like a famished tiger. (Shudder.)

BURTON: The trained seals in the House of Commons

Prime Minister Mark Carney recently said what many Canadians have suspected for years. Caught on a hot microphone during a meeting with Croatia’s Prime Minister, Carney remarked that Members of Parliament are “just useful for votes.”

The controversy is not that he said it. The controversy is that he may have been telling the truth.

Canada now eligible to take part in Eurovision song contest

OTTAWA — Canada is cleared to participate in the Eurovision song contest after CBC/Radio-Canada became a full member of the European Broadcasting Union on Thursday.

In last fall’s federal budget, the government said it was looking at getting Canada into the popular international song contest.

Eurovision, which has been running for decades, features performers from various countries and is co-ordinated by the European Broadcasting Union.

Your tax dollars were spent on this crap.

The Western Surrender: How New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern aped Trudeau’s nation shaming

WELLINGTON — When news reports first tumbled out about the “unmarked graves” of 215 youngsters that were said to have been found at the former Kamloops residential school in British Columbia, the story ricocheted far beyond Canada.

Here in New Zealand, which is about as geographically far-flung as you can get, the still-unconfirmed details landed with understandable force.

Small wonder. In 2021, this nation of 5.3 million was in the throes of a royal commission of inquiry into the historical abuse of children in state care, many of them Māori, with much of the attention given to the same era.

Carney’s National Condo Rescue: 4,400 Empty Units, Two Cities, and One Question Nobody Will Answer — Who Pays?

VANCOUVER — A national plan to absorb Canada’s unsold condos is unfolding in two very different shapes — one already called a bailout by some analysts but drawing little of the outrage, the other announced last week by Mark Carney and instantly setting the public on fire. Two cities, more than 4,400 unsold condos held on the books of wealthy private companies, both outcomes hard to predict — but Vancouver’s is already being cast by critics as a handout to well-connected Liberal insiders.

This is, first, a national story.

This sounds like weasel words … Carney admits he did poor job rolling out $1.45 billion B.C. program panned as ‘condo bailout’
