John Carpay: How Many Court Rulings Does It Take to Prove Use of the Emergencies Act Was Wrong?

The federal government is appealing its Emergencies Act losses to the Supreme Court of Canada, in a Notice of Application that runs 503 pages.

After declaring a “national emergency” on Feb. 14, 2022, the federal government unleashed police force on peaceful Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa, and froze hundreds of bank accounts of Canadians from coast to coast.

GIESBRECHT: Canada once let Nazis in — are we about to repeat that mistake with Iran’s IRGC?

Canada has a largely honourable history, but we weren’t at our best after WWII, when it came to picking which of the millions of refugees displaced by the war should be admitted, and which we should refuse entry. Many Nazis were admitted, while many Jewish Holocaust survivors were refused. The phrase “One is too many” summarized the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi sympathies of too many Canadian officials and politicians at the time. The Deschênes Commission was established in 1985 to review Canada’s rather shameful attitude at the time, and the fact that many Nazi war criminals were living in Canada.


It is estimated that some 700 regime members may already be resident in Canada which leads me to suspect that the system is compromised by Islamists.

Canada’s Criminal Government Not Tracking Foreign Students After Visas Lapse, Audit Says

Canada’s foreign student program lacks integrity controls to verify ongoing visa compliance, and the government does not track whether students leave the country when their permits expire, the auditor general said.

Karen Hogan’s audit of the program released Monday found that the government was successful in reducing the number of study permits it issued each year but fell short on improving the integrity of the system.


Our government is nothing short of criminal.

Canada’s wait-and-see economy is in a very fragile state

In the past few weeks, news on the Canadian economic front has tilted negative overall.

Statistics Canada came out with a February jobs report that showed employment declined by a net 84,000, which came on top of a loss of 25,000 jobs in January. The cumulative decline makes it the worst start to a year employment-wise since 2009.

GDP figures released late last month showed that Canada’s economy contracted in the final quarter of 2025, capping the weakest year for growth since the pandemic.

They were injured in military service. Canada promised better rehab. Here’s why these veterans are still in pain

Though his tours in Afghanistan and Ukraine left their mark on his body and brain, Tristan Barkwell hoped to live a normal life beyond the base.

After his medical release last year, the 37-year-old sergeant enrolled in the military’s rehabilitation program with the goal of becoming a radiology technician.

“I was very motivated to heal,” he told the Star from his home in Edmonton.

But the publicly-funded program that was supposed to help demoralized him.

Why three byelections on April 13 could change the makeup of the House of Commons

OTTAWA – Three byelections are being held on April 13 and the results could have an impact on both the makeup of Parliament and how long it lasts.

Here’s a primer on how things could change.

Where are the byelections?

The votes are in two Liberal stronghold seats in the Toronto area and one contested riding in Quebec, north of Montreal.


I may never understand Toronto voters.

Will Canada unshackle itself in time? The global energy and minerals window of opportunity

“We are touchingly prone to mistaking our models of reality for reality itself, mistaking the strength of our certainty for the strength of the evidence, thus moving through a dream of our own making that we call life…we are simply not capable of processing the full scope of reality. Our minds cope by choosing fragments of it to the exclusion, and often to the erasure, of the rest.” – Maria Popova/The Marginalian

Great words, hey? All part of the human condition. All of us suck, in this regard, at some time or other. Best practice, as a human, is to just become cognizant of this trap we all fall into.

It is even easier to fall into the trap when surrounded by like-minded or sycophantic people, one’s that don’t challenge much. In other words, politics.

Children make up 33% of food bank visits in Canada.

Despite community efforts to feed the city’s youngest residents, the percentage of children using the Saskatoon Food Bank hasn’t declined in the last 18 years that Laurie O’Connor has worked there.

About 40 per cent of the food bank’s requests for hampers are made on behalf of children, according to O’Connor, the food bank’s executive director.

“That number really hasn’t fluctuated much in those two decades. So whether or not we can respond to the need hasn’t made that big of an impact on child poverty,” she told CTV News.

Human Rights Wasn’t ‘Proactively’ Raised During Carney’s China Visit: Privy Council

During Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to China in January, the issue of human rights wasn’t “proactively” raised during discussions with Chinese officials, according to the Privy Council Office (PCO).

“Topics of human rights and foreign interference were not brought up proactively by the Canadian Prime Minister,” says a document tabled in the House of Commons on March 13 by the PCO, which is sometimes referred to as the prime minister’s department.

As mayor of Vaughan, I’m urging Mark Carney to meet our Jewish community

I have an urgent request for Prime Minister Mark Carney: please come to Vaughan, Ont., to meet with our Jewish community.

As Vaughan’s mayor, I want you to know that Jews here feel angry, scared, defiant, tired, shocked and beleaguered. Who can blame them? I’ve lived my entire life in this country, but I have never before witnessed the shocking levels of antisemitism and Jew hatred we now see so regularly. I never imagined I would. Not here. Not in Canada.


Del Duca is lying.

He supported the Liberal Party and that means he supported their immigration policy that opened the floodgates to incompatible cultures like Islam.

I have no doubt he would smear anyone who opposed the death cult as an Islamophobe and a racist.

I hate that these pols are trying to wash their hands of responsibility.

Carney meets world: Is prime minister a more international job now?

In his first year as prime minister, Mark Carney was restless.

Two days after being sworn in at Rideau Hall, he made official visits to France and the United Kingdom. Shortly thereafter he went into a five-week election campaign, and a week after last spring’s vote he travelled to Washington.


I’m pretty sure he just hates Canada and Canadians.

Should Canada Support Cuba’s Ruthless Regime Asks Star?

As Cuba faces mounting crises, should Canada increase its foreign aid and should Ottawa support U.S. efforts to force a regime change?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Cuba — “friendly” or “not friendly” — have landed like a grenade in a debate Canadians thought they understood. For decades, Ottawa’s approach to Havana has been built on engagement, not confrontation. Now Washington is demanding a harder line, tightening sanctions, threatening tariffs on countries that ship oil to the island and dangling the prospect of regime change.

But within Canada, the choice is not simple. Most Canadians who follow Cuba closely agree the communist government has a dismal human-rights record and that ordinary Cubans are suffering. They disagree sharply on whether pressure and sanctions will liberate those Cubans — or bury them.


I doubt many Canadians are worrying about Cuba other than where to go for their next vacay.

GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney government all over the map on foreign interference by India

What in heaven’s name is going on in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government with regard to the threat posed to Canada’s national security by India?

It’s as if the Liberals have learned nothing from the foreign interference inquiry in which Justice Marie-Josee Hogue concluded, “the government has proven to be a poor communicator and insufficiently transparent when it comes to foreign interference.”
