An average of up to 50,000 jobs could be created in Canada over the next five years should the federal government opt to buy the German-made Type 212CD submarine, CBC News has learned.
Up until this point in the fierce competition over the navy’s new submarines, both the German and Norwegian governments and the builder, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), have been reluctant to reveal strict details of the potential economic benefits that could accrue from their proposal.
There are 17 of them accused in a widespread campaign of terror and extortion of South Asians in Brampton.
Instead, cops, prosecutors, the Canada Border Services Agency, and others will serve up their usual po-faced approach and start scolding you for suggesting there is a problem of foreign criminals in this country.
Announcing her referendum question last week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith invoked the last prime minister’s name four times.
“When I was first elected premier, I was very concerned that it would be almost impossible to restore provincial rights stolen from Alberta and other provinces by the Trudeau-Singh government in Ottawa,” she said, also referencing the former NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh, whose caucus supported the Trudeau government from 2022 to 2024.
OTTAWA — Google and Apple are warning that the Carney government’s effort to make it easier for police and spies to intercept private communications risks opening up “backdoors” in their products that would hinder Canadians’ privacy and make their data vulnerable to malicious hackers.
Officials from the multibillionaire tech giants railed against the legislation that Ottawa has argued would modernize police and spy powers as they testified in front of a parliamentary committee Tuesday, claiming the proposed reforms are overly broad and pose a risk to encryption in a way that could undermine user trust and goes further than other Western countries.
Carney wants to shut down the internet like Iran.
Shrinking families and tepid homebuilding is paving the way to a future where homes will increasingly be inherited assets in Canada, passed down from one generation to the next.
It would mark a major shift from family homes being bought and sold, entrenching inequality across generations, with a lucky few inheriting secure housing and appreciating land wealth while others are permanently locked out. Yet this issue remains absent from Canada’s housing policy discussions, even though it is one all of us should be concerned about.
Canadians continue to face an uncertain future as income fails to keep pace with food price increases.
New data released from Statistics Canada showed that 24% of Canadians were living in a food-insecure household last year.
In real numbers, the percentage works out to approximately 9.8 million people, including 2.4 million children, living in households that struggled to afford the food needed.
Mark Carney was asked Monday about his role in the forthcoming Alberta referendum campaign and the response was reassuring.
The prime minister wasn’t exactly Henry V at Agincourt on St. Crispin’s Day, rallying his outnumbered troops in a call to arms.
But he is a veteran of these campaigns from his time in the United Kingdom during the Brexit and Scottish independence referendums. He knows that when emotions run high, a positive appeal is needed to offset gloomy portents about the certain costs, and uncertain gains, of independence.
Canada has entered into negotiations with Saab to buy its GlobalEye airborne early warning aircraft, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday.
He revealed the plan at the opening of the annual arms trade show CANSEC in Ottawa.
“With a suite of advanced sensors and mission systems, Saab’s GlobalEye will be a key resource for the Canadian Armed Forces to detect and deter threats across the Arctic,” Carney told the audience of defence contractors and military officials.
There are tens of thousands of people in Canada who are getting taxpayer-funded health benefits from a program for refugees despite having their refugee claim denied. That’s one of the big headlines from a new report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
Earlier this year, the PBO revealed that the cost of the Interim Federal Health Program, which covers refugee and asylum claimants, had risen from $60 million a year to close to $1 billion annually.
This is evil at work.
In May 1980, with a Quebec sovereignty referendum five days away, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau made a bet. At the Paul Sauvé Arena, he staked his political credibility on a single phrase. “If the answer to the referendum question is NO,” he told the crowd, “we have all said that this NO will be interpreted as a mandate to change the Constitution, to renew federalism.” It was a last-minute brand for the federalist side — a rallying cry designed to give Quebec voters a reason to stay. The strategy worked.
A quarter of a century later, “renewed” federalism became “open” federalism. Stephen Harper’s version promised to respect provincial jurisdiction and resolve the fiscal imbalance. It was a different sales pitch, but with the same underlying move to rebrand the federation to make it seem responsive and worth defending.
Not sure how shitting on virtually all of Canada will unify us.
Canadians increasingly believe U.S. tariffs are here to stay despite repeated promises from Prime Minister Mark Carney that Ottawa can negotiate a better trade deal with Washington, according to newly released Privy Council research.
Blacklock’s Reporter says federal focus groups found little confidence the Liberal government would succeed in convincing the United States to eliminate tariffs on Canadian goods, with many participants saying the measures are now a permanent part of American economic policy.
I get the feeling that the LPC and their media are running a psyop attempting to convince Canadians they are upbeat about the future.
Record insolvencies, youth fleeing for the US where unlike Canada they have a shot at owning a home and building a future, a growing number of households with food and rent exceeding monthly income, criminal governance by a business and political elite that have used mass immigration for their own monetary gain and agendas, foreign criminals waltzing into our nation and receiving a slap on the wrist for their crimes so their immigration status isn’t compromised.
I could go on.
There is a reason the LPC wants to limit free speech.
India’s top diplomat in Canada says CSIS has been politically compromised and that the RCMP are investigating “fantasy” allegations that Indian officials are involved in crimes against Canadians.
In a sweeping interview with The Globe and Mail, High Commissioner Dinesh Patnaik went on the offensive, attacking the integrity of Canada’s national-security agencies, while pushing back against assertions from Canadian authorities that the Government of India has directed multiple homicide plots and foreign-interference campaigns on Canadian soil.
Mr. Patnaik asserted that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has been compromised by Sikh separatists using Canada as a base for their campaign to carve out a breakaway state in northwest India, which they call Khalistan.
Former CIA Officer John Kiriakou claims India was behind Air India attack? How common is this belief in Canada?

TORONTO — A new report from Equifax Canada says insolvency volumes have risen to the highest level since 2009 amid escalating financial strain on homeowners.
The firm’s first-quarter market pulse report on consumer credit trends says systemic risks persist even while Canadians are staying financially disciplined to cope with economic challenges.
Insolvency volumes for the quarter were up 18.8 per cent year-over-year, indicating that many consumers “may have reached a financial inflection point,” it said.
The president of Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party says he believes that a majority of UCP members will vote against remaining in Canada in a referendum this fall, despite Premier Danielle Smith’s campaign in favour of Confederation.
Rob Smith, who heads the UCP’s board of directors, said the party will not pick a side in the lead-up to the separation vote, in which Albertans will decide if the province should stay in Canada, or if it should start the legal process to hold a second, binding vote on secession.
As an October referendum on the future of Alberta separation looms, new polling finds three in five Albertans say they would vote to stay in Canada, while more than half of Albertans feel Premier Danielle Smith has handled the issue “poorly.”
On Thursday, Smith announced she is planning to put a question on the fall referendum ballot that will ask Albertans if they want the province to remain in Canada or if they want a future binding referendum on separation.
According to a poll from the Angus Reid Institute released Monday, 60 per cent of respondents would vote no to the official referendum question, compared to 35 per cent who would vote yes.
