How the Iran War could cost Liberals 20+ seats: 3 political consequences of high oil prices

The conventional wisdom is that the Canadian economy should be a big winner from the surge in oil prices following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. Canada is the fourth-largest exporter of crude oil in the world: when prices rise, Canadian oil generates more revenue, corporate income, higher wages, and government royalties.

The OECD’s latest outlook points to a more complicated reality. Canada is no longer a petrostate; while the oil and gas sector is still large enough to cushion Canada from the worst macroeconomic consequences of the Iran war, the structure and geography of Canadian economic growth have added many more trade-offs to managing resource profits.

Immigration officers told not to judge credibility of asylum seekers, even if they doubt their stories

Immigration experts say the front-line officials charged with initially questioning refugee claimants do not have enough latitude to probe the details of claimants’ stories, even if there is reason to doubt them.

The issue of how and when claimants are questioned came to public attention late last month. That’s when figures provided to MPs on the Commons immigration committee revealed that the Immigration and Refugee Board, which adjudicates asylum claims, has since 2019 processed more than 45,000 refugee cases based on paperwork alone, without in-person hearings, as it deals with a backlog of claims.

Conservatives call for ethics probe of Frankie Champers as questions raised over high-speed rail

The Conservative Party is calling on the House of Commons ethics watchdog to launch an investigation into whether Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne breached ethics rules regarding his partner’s involvement in a federal government-funded high speed rail project.

In a letter to Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein, Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett made the case for an investigation, pointing out that the company heading the project, Alto, is to receive millions of dollars in funding from the budget that Champagne introduced last fall and has defended in both the House of Commons and committee.

Federal government polled Canadians on housing slogans as shortage worsened

CALGARY — Cabinet turned to marketing experts and focus groups to test slogans and logos as Canada’s housing shortage worsened, according to internal records that raise fresh questions about priorities in addressing affordability.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Privy Council Office commissioned nationwide focus groups to gauge which branding concepts would best convince Canadians the government had a plan to fix the crisis.

I bet “Blame it on Trump” was touted as a favourite to win.

John Ivison: Liberals shove Canada into China’s menacing embrace

Canada’s finance minister was in Beijing late last week looking to deepen financial sector ties with China. Francois-Philippe Champagne said he was building on the strategic partnership deal signed between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping “with eyes wide open.”

A more appropriate ophthalmological analogy would have been to say that Canada will henceforth turn a blind eye to Beijing’s excesses.

BARCLAY: Carney’s blarney and the collapse of Canada’s economy

On March 25, Prime Minister Mark Carney claimed that “affordability is the best that it’s been in over a decade.”

Unfortunately, Carney’s claims are simply untrue and merely another aspect of the Potemkin nation that Carney and his Liberal government have sought to substitute for Canadian society.

House prices dropping in Canada’s most expensive cities, but still out of reach for many

Housing prices are dipping in Canada’s priciest markets, but real estate experts say it’s not necessarily the break for which potential first-time homebuyers have been waiting — and that break may never come.

TD Economics said in a report last week that it expects home prices to slide 0.3 per cent across Canada this year, after a weak performance in the market over the last two quarters, with Ontario and B.C. facing the biggest drops.

Mark Milke: DEI has made society more racist

If there’s a buzzword that’s captured corporate Canada, government and academia over the past decade, it’s “diversity.” When patched together with “equity” and “inclusion,” or DEI for short, it’s assumed to be excellent policy that’s anchored in fairness and equality. For its proponents, it is seen as an extension of civil rights movements that began in the 1950s in Canada and the United States.

But nice-sounding words are not enough when it comes to treating people as equal in law and policy, or building a flourishing country with equal opportunity for all.

Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood

A row has broken out in one of Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhoods over plans to use an AI-powered surveillance system to create the country’s first “virtual gated community” to combat surging property crime.

Crime rates in Toronto as a whole are dropping but residents of Rosedale have been left on edge by a sustained rise in home invasions, with robbers targeting the tree-lined neighbourhood at a rate more than double the city average. Break-ins and thefts remain the third highest per capita in Toronto.

More …

Shaken by break-ins, an affluent Toronto neighbourhood takes action

The squad of private security cars fans out after nightfall, their little rooftop lights flashing yellow against the historic homes and manicured hedges of Rosedale. Their drivers patrol the streets slowly, stopping to inspect parked cars and following any suspicious drivers.

Other unmarked security vehicles idle nearby, their drivers wearing bulletproof vests under their shirts, ready to respond to break-ins in six minutes or less.

Inside those graceful homes, residents have prepared crude fortifications: door braces, newly installed alarms, hammer-proof glass.

How Canadian military members violated intelligence-gathering rules during COVID-19

Canadian Armed Forces members used their own personal social media accounts, computers and networks at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and gathered information about Canadians, violating intelligence-gathering rules, according to a newly released report.

The internal military report obtained by CBC News provides a new look behind the scenes at how a controversial military operation went so wrong.

“Everything you could imagine in a military operation went wrong in this case,” said national security expert Wesley Wark.

Frankie Champers recuses himself from Ottawa’s high-speed rail grift

OTTAWA — Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has been unable to participate in decisions related to the federal government’s proposed high-speed rail line after setting up an ethics screen last year due to his partner’s ties to the Crown corporation behind the project.

The screen means the finance minister has had to recuse himself from all discussions related to the Alto proposal for an electric rail line between Toronto and Quebec City — which the Carney government considers “transformative” — because his partner, Anne-Marie Gaudet, became the Crown corporation’s vice-president of environment last August.

Jamie Sarkonak: Bill C-3, the Liberal gateway to making Canada the 51st state

In December, the Liberals extended Canadian citizenship to everyone in the world over the age of three months who can prove that one of their ancestors was born here, no matter how far back.

This was the result of Bill C-3. It means that potentially millions of people with no natural democratic right to intervene in our politics will soon be able to vote in our elections. Millions who haven’t contributed a cent to our economy will become eligible for our social safety net. Among them will be organized criminals, terrorists spawned from parents who left Canada to engage in barbarism overseas, people who can’t speak English or French, scammers, drug dealers, and many more undesirables.

Canadian Confidence Hits 11-Month Low as Iran War Drags On

Canadian consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in almost a year as the war in Iran, which has sent energy prices soaring and stoked worries about persistent inflation, entered its sixth week.

The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Consumer Confidence Index fell to 46.93 in the week ended April 3, while the expectations index extended its four-week loss to almost 10 points. A reading below 50 indicates net negative views. It was the lowest reading for both indexes since May 2025, when consumers and businesses were still digesting the initial shock of US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.

Iran Shot Down a Plane Carrying 85 Canadians, and Now Strikes Canadian Forces and Civilian Targets in the Gulf. What Does Canada Call That, If Not State Terrorism?

OTTAWA – On the night of January 8, 2020, a Boeing 737 carrying 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents climbed out of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and was destroyed by two missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. One hundred and seventy-six people died. Iran denied it for three days, bulldozed the crash site, and then blamed a single soldier’s misidentification error.

Canada accepted that framing, more or less. It still does.
