Canadians face food insecurity as 120% of income for some goes to food, rent

Canadians from coast to coast to coast are continuing to face food insecurity as income fails to keep pace with food price increases and advocates say the country is “failing” to meet some people’s human right to food.

Data from Statistics Canada showed about one in four Canadians was living in a food-insecure household last year.

The numbers were released the same month data showed food prices had increased 3.5 per cent year-over-year.

MACLEOD: Alberta can’t survive five years of globalist Carney’s centralized control

MACLEOD: Alberta can’t survive five years of globalist Carney’s centralized control

Mark Carney is not some accidental politician who wandered into Ottawa from Bay Street. He is a product of the modern global financial establishment. Former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, long-time participant at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, and a prominent voice in global climate finance and centralized economic coordination, Carney has spent nearly two decades operating inside elite international circles.

Remarks from Conservative MP Michael Chong on his recent Taiwan visit should not have required saying.

“Canada is an independent, sovereign country. We do not take direction from foreign governments on where MPs can travel internationally,” stated Chong on May 17, a day prior to his departure.

Carney warns that push for Alberta separatism referendum could be ‘dangerous bluff’

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Alberta separatists who think a referendum will provide the province more leverage are risking a “very dangerous bluff” and argued that it is “not helpful” to ask people to vote over secession.

Speaking to reporters from a residential construction site in Ottawa, Carney had a stark warning for Albertans ahead of Smith’s referendum question on provincial sovereignty in the fall: be wary of what you’re voting for.

She Exposed Beijing’s Secret Police. Now Its AI Porn Deepfakes Smear Her — as Ottawa Signs a Pact With the Same Chinese Ministry

OTTAWA — Laura Harth helped expose Beijing’s “overseas police service centers” as a global architecture of transnational repression — clandestine outposts that Harth and Safeguard Defenders linked to China’s Ministry of Public Security, triggering investigations from Europe to North America.

Now, Harth says, the machinery she helped reveal has turned on her with an AI-generated sexualized deepfake smear campaign that her organization identifies as part of the same Chinese police-linked repression ecosystem documented by the U.S. Justice Department and other security researchers.

The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) found a whopping 324 asylum claims to be unfounded out of 107,000 refugee applications made in 2025

The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) found a whopping 324 asylum claims to be unfounded out of 107,000 refugee applications made in 2025

A federal tribunal declared a record number of refugee claims in 2025 to be fraudulent amid an unprecedented number of people claiming asylum.

In the first 11 months of 2025, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) declared 324 asylum claims to be “manifestly unfounded,” more than any year since at least 2015.

That finding means that not only were the claims rejected, but the IRB’s staff concluded they were so baseless that applicants are precluded from appealing the board’s decision.

Canadian court ruling will make it easier for drug traffickers to win asylum

Canadian court ruling will make it easier for drug traffickers to win asylum

For the safety of their family, Nini Johana Rodriguez Anzola and her husband said they had no choice but to ingest the cocaine-filled pouches, swallowing them along with some oat oil.

The Colombian couple were intercepted at the Bogota airport before they boarded the flight to Spain. They later pled guilty to drug-related charges because they said they felt pressured to remain silent in court about the involvement of the feared trafficking and guerrilla group known as the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC.


The tribunal says they don’t have to believe nothing they don’t wanna believe.

MCTEAGUE: Carney’s pipeline permission slip doesn’t address our deeper problems

MCTEAGUE: Carney’s pipeline permission slip doesn’t address our deeper problems

There was a striking story which was buried in the news cycle in Canada by reports of the new Carney-Smith Memorandum of Understanding. While Canadians were being told to celebrate an agreement that might — might — allow a pipeline to begin construction in the fall of 2027, the United Arab Emirates announced plans for a new pipeline that will be fully operational around the same time.

Let that land for a moment. A desert nation with roughly a quarter of our GDP is completing pipeline infrastructure on a timeline that Canada can only hope to begin breaking ground on.

Canadian unity suddenly needs a hero. Can Mark Carney be that guy?

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says hope is not a strategy when confronting global economic and security turmoil.

It also won’t work to confront the twin national unity challenges in Alberta and Quebec that are fomenting.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, cornered by separatists in her party’s ranks, will host a referendum on whether the province should remain in Canada or begin the process of splitting the country apart.

Conrad Black: Canada better hope Alberta doesn’t leave with its wealth

It is painful to reflect on this, but I think we are disserving ourselves if we do not recognize how absurd this country appears to many well-disposed and intelligent foreign onlookers. We are now seen as the most absurdly woke and politically correct (and therefore foolish) country in the world, and the country with the highest suicide rate in the world because our crumbling health-care system now champions the virtues of early death, as well as being one of the most unsafe advanced countries for Jews to live in, because of widespread antisemitic bigotry.

South Korea’s Hanwha showcases submarine as Ottawa mulls multibillion-dollar contract

The South Korean submarine ROKS Dosan Ahn Chang-ho arrived off British Columbia’s coast on Saturday in a flashy showcase of Hanwha Ocean’s bid to secure Canada’s multibillion-dollar submarine contract.

The vessel is visiting Victoria and will take part in joint anti-submarine exercises with the Royal Canadian Navy.

The newly built 3,000-ton KSS-III submarine made the historic 14,000-kilometre trans-Pacific voyage to demonstrate its long-endurance capabilities to Canadian decision-makers.

Carney defends $22.6 billion Ukraine aid package as ‘Canadian values’

Prime Minister Mark Carney defended billions in Canadian aid and military support for Ukraine, calling the spending an expression of “Canadian values” despite growing public skepticism over the prolonged conflict.

“We’re going to be on the right side of history,” Carney told reporters while reaffirming Ottawa’s commitment to Ukraine and NATO allies.

Blacklock’s Reporter said official figures show Canada has committed $22.6 billion in aid to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.

Carney failed to give a credible response to US proposal for a collective North American defence pact says Pentagon official

Carney failed to give a credible response to US proposal for a collective North American defence pact says Pentagon official

WASHINGTON – A high-ranking U.S. defence official says the Pentagon gave Ottawa a classified paper laying out priorities for a collective North American defence pact with Canada, but that Ottawa did not deliver a “credible” response.

That lack of response is just one of several irritants the senior Pentagon official said is creating a rift in North American defence co-operation. Canada’s delayed decision around the procurement of F-35 fighter jets was also cited as a source of frustration.

The official from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration briefed a small group of mostly Canadian journalists this week on background in order to speak more candidly about Canada-U.S. relations.


Carney’s negotiating strategy seems to be about making Canada a pariah state to all but China and perhaps North Korea.

Carpay: ‘Grave Threat to Privacy’: Resistance to Lawful Access Bill Mounts

Carpay: ‘Grave Threat to Privacy’: Resistance to Lawful Access Bill Mounts

Why do Canadians cherish privacy in the first place? If a person has nothing to hide, why should they care if the authorities can read their emails, texts, or AI conversations? Why does Section 8 of the Charter expressly protect Canadians against unreasonable search and seizure?

Even completely innocent people who have nothing to hide rightfully cherish their ability to think, speak, explore ideas, and meet with others, without the state silently observing their every move. If we are not comfortable with a nosy neighbour (or even a close friend!) knowing everything about us, why should we accept the state knowing all kinds of things about our personal lives?
