OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said a deal on CUSMA will ultimately happen between him and U.S. President Donald Trump, despite teams of negotiators on both sides working through trade issues.
“Ultimately… a breakthrough, if you will, on this will…be at that level,” Carney told reporters on Thursday, in answer to a question about whether a deal will ultimately be secured at the leadership level of both countries.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to use nuclear power and natural gas to cement Canada’s status as a global clean energy superpower should have started a decade ago under Justin Trudeau.
The question now is whether Canada can make that plan a reality at “speeds not seen in generations,” given the 10-year delay in starting it.
OTTAWA — As the country mourned the eight killed and others injured by a shooter who attacked a secondary school in interior British Columbia, more than 10,000 anti-LGBTQ posts expressing hate and calling for violence were made the next day by Canadians online, according to an intelligence brief.
I recall a lot of anti-trans tweets many involving the number of mass shooters and violence in general found among that “community” and the concerns many have with grooming children to think it’s normal.
It’s a weird mania that while fading world wide remains well entrenched in Canada.
It is still pushed upon their own children by the so called elites.
Trans kids are a fashion statement of progressive values in that crowd.
OTTAWA — Broadcasters and online streaming giants will still have to pay a fee to support Canadian media production despite the Carney government’s declaration it would reverse course on the so-called “Netflix tax,” the Star has learned.
Amid ongoing Canada-U.S. trade tensions, Prime Minister Mark Carney said three weeks ago his government would order Canada’s broadcast regulator to review its decision this spring to require major broadcasters and online streaming giants to pay 15 per cent, up from five per cent, of their Canadian revenues toward supporting Canadian content production.
It’s been a year since Prime Minister Mark Carney said the cost of living was a key priority for his Liberal government — and every month since food prices have gone through the roof.
The Liberals will put the blame on Ukraine, or Donald Trump or tariffs or climate change or just about anything, but what they won’t do is accept responsibility for a crisis that they most certainly have control over.
Last Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney stood alongside B.C. Premier David Eby in Vancouver, and made a major announcement: the federal and B.C. provincial governments would step in to absorb thousands of vacant condominium units and repurpose them as affordable housing for Canadians. It was, his government declared in the press release, “one of the fastest and most efficient ways to increase housing supply.”
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is going to be doing much more this summer than flipping burgers and pancakes.
With the looming deadline of Alberta’s pipeline application, a referendum on the horizon, trade discussions to decide the future of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and several MP resignations in the coming weeks which will lead to byelections, he is bound to have a lot on his plate.
In March, the Israeli ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, characterized Canada as “one of the centres of antisemitism globally.” Also, Toronto Rabbi Daniel Korobkin of Beth Avraham Yoseph synagogue (which had its front doors shattered from gunfire) stated: “What our message needs to be to our leaders is that if nothing is done, then you’re sending a message: ‘They can go ahead and go to the next level.’”
In 1965, Pierre Trudeau joined the Liberal Party of Canada, became a candidate, and won a Montreal seat in the federal election that year. Canada would never be the same.
His run as a Liberal came as a surprise for many people because until that time, Trudeau had openly identified as a socialist and supporter of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and its successor, the New Democratic Party (NDP). Trudeau’s political evolution and eventual membership in the Liberal Party are described by University of Winnipeg political scientist Allen Mills in his important 2016 book, Citizen Trudeau, 1944-1965: An Intellectual Biography.
Most terrorist financing stays hidden — moving through shell companies, informal transfer networks, and charities existing only on paper. There is, however, a category of terrorist financing that operates in the open, written into legislation and funded through public budgets. These are the structured payment programs known colloquially as “pay-for-slay” programs.
Mohammadreza Pakatchian said he chose to study aerospace engineering at Carleton University because it was a “great opportunity” to further his skills and knowledge.
In its acceptance letter to the Iranian, Carleton University offered him a scholarship, while an MP’s office spoke with immigration officials about his student visa.
But Canada’s national security agencies aren’t so keen on the 41-year-old doctoral student.
To be a successful leader in politics, you need a few things: a vision for the country, a plan to realize it and an ability to articulate why you are the right person to lead the journey.
British prime minister Keir Starmer possesses none of these things. That’s why he’s been forced to resign his post. It’s expected he’ll be replaced by soon-to-be-former mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham, who possesses only one of them.
I think the greater risk is to Carney.
He will implode as the public becomes aware of his grifting ways, ugly personality and economy wrecking schemes.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s corporate past has prevented him from participating in at least 17 “situations” involving his own government, including discussions of a payout of up to $3.1 billion to support housing loans, the possible export of electricity to the United States, and the creation of this week’s new nuclear energy plan.
The revelation is contained in letters that the Privy Council Office (PCO) — the branch of the bureaucracy that supports the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) — sent to a parliamentary committee that probed the “screens” that Carney set up last year to protect himself from conflicts of interest.
New in-house federal research shows that Canadians see China as a bigger threat than Iran, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
The poll by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said that 70% saw Russia and 66% saw China as “significant threats” compared to only 34% who felt that way about Iran.
OTTAWA — Canadian auto industry leaders panned Industry Minister Melanie Joly’s claim Monday that Chinese carmakers are interested in forming joint ventures to make electric vehicles with Canadian labour, parts and standards, and said Ottawa’s China push threatens Canada’s chances at getting a deal at the trade table with the United States.
As the July 1 deadline for renewal of the deal looms, and Ottawa is in the midst of a delicate dance with the Trump administration over how closely it is aligning with China, a trip in the past week by Joly to China accompanied by several mining, investment and business executives, but no Canadian carmakers, was seen as cause for concern.
Carney has to know what Joly is up to.
