A Quebec man accused of threatening Prime Minister Mark Carney over social media was declared not criminally responsible during a hearing Monday morning.
Ousmane Bah, 45, was arrested in September after he made several Facebook posts threatening to kill Carney, as well as King Charles, U.S. President Donald Trump, and the Supreme Court’s top judge Richard Wagner.
Bah was charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm to a person, and promoting hatred against an identifiable group.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ottawa has made progress on a trade irritant with the European Union — a carbon tariff on energy-intensive Canadian exports.
At the closing news conference for the Canada-EU summit in Montreal, Carney said there are “common solutions” to resolving the carbon import levy on Canadian products such as iron ore, steel, aluminum, cement and other goods.
The Great Negotiator huh.
Why are centrist dads so obsessed with getting closer to the European Union? Not only is Andy Burnham at it, but even Canada, which lies thousands of miles from the Continent, is having a go.
Last week, its prime minister, Mark Carney – denizen of Davos, erstwhile central bank governor and champion of centrist daddyness everywhere – confirmed Ottawa’s interest in becoming an “associate member”. It was like the death rattle of a doomed elite.

The federal government has acknowledged its goal of building 500,000 homes annually is unlikely to be achieved this decade, with internal documents pointing to immigration-driven population growth and declining construction activity as major obstacles.
Blacklock’s Reporter says a June 17 briefing note prepared for Housing Minister Gregor Robertson warns that housing construction is expected to fall over the next several years, leaving Canada well short of the levels the Liberals previously said were necessary to restore affordability.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget in 2025 tilted the scales at a fleshy 406 pages. If you’re economically fascinated and the pundit parade, breaking news and deep dive features aren’t in-the-trenches enough for you, we present a video guide to reading this year’s Budget 2026. Up until last year, these things arrived in the Spring like tulips. But this one is due to be released on Nov. 5. What can we expect from it? Let’s spell it out.
The 21st Canada-European Union Summit kicked off in Montreal this week, and so far, it looks like Prime Minister Mark Carney and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen forgot to compare notes.
In her speech, Von der Leyen, once again, used the term “associate member” and said that Canada and the EU could “build a partnership that comes closer to membership than anything we’ve done before.”
What is that supposed to mean?
Prime Minister Mark Carney has called byelections for a total of six ridings located in Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan — races that will give the Liberals a chance to strengthen their thin majority in the House of Commons.
The byelections will be held on Dec. 7, according to a news release sent out Sunday morning.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said he had a “good conversation” with U.S. President Donald Trump on trade relations.
In an X post on Sunday, Carney said the talk builds on “recent constructive discussions” on a prospective Canada-U.S. trade deal.
Good conversation with President @realDonaldTrump on the future of Canada-U.S. trade.
This builds on our recent constructive discussions on the outlines of a mutually beneficial trade deal that would create jobs for our workers, boost affordability for families, and fully respect Canada’s languages, culture, and sovereignty.
Our teams will now be working in the coming weeks to deliver that outcome.

There’s a well-known phrase in the trucking industry. It started with the Teamsters Union but eventually became the catchphrase of trucking industry associations around the continent: “If you got it, a truck brought it.”
We have a trucking economy. Many goods may start on container ships and move to trains, but at some point in the supply chain, most goods are put on a truck.
A leading China analyst is raising concerns over the absence of any direct mention of China in Ottawa’s new national security strategy, saying the omission may reflect the government’s reluctance to speak critically about Beijing.
University of Ottawa researcher Margaret McCuaig-Johnston said leaving China out of the document, which outlines national security threats such as foreign interference and espionage, appears to be “an indication that the government doesn’t seem to want to mention China in a negative light in any way whatsoever.”
“I think it is interesting that the word China, Russia—those words do not appear in the strategy,” McCuaig-Johnston said on Oct. 29 at an appearance before the House committee on science and research.
How about we stop pretending Prime Minister Mark Carney’s foreign policy has anything to do with his famous Davos speech that Canada’s path would be a “principled and pragmatic” alliance of like-minded middle powers?
It’s one thing to make a deal with the European Union, whatever he and EU President Ursula von der Leyen want to call it.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to DW on Friday after talks in Montreal with European Union leaders seeking to hammer out details of a new, closer partnership between Canada and the EU.
Amid difficult negotiations with US President Donald Trump, representing Canada’s biggest trading partner, Carney said that he and his compatriots had come to realize the country was too dependent on the economic powerhouse to the south.

Canada’s new Ocean Envoy Diana Fox Carney, spouse of Prime Minister Mark Carney, talked marine conservation and economic opportunity with Qikiqtani Inuit Association representatives during a 24-hour visit to Iqaluit this week.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada is working to become the European Union’s first associate member, his most definitive statement on the issue to date after hosting the bloc’s leaders in Montreal this week.
It still remains unclear what that would look like and cost.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday that if his government could not successfully negotiate a suitable trade pact with the Trump administration, he was prepared to wait for a new American president to close the deal.
In an interview with POLITICO in Montreal, Carney also said Canadians were fed up with diplomatic provocations from the United States and described President Donald Trump’s wavering policy toward the Russia-Ukraine war as “unhelpful.”
Carney doesn’t care about you.
