Report linking Alberta separatists to Americans sparks call for emergency debate

OTTAWA — The New Democrats have requested an emergency debate in Parliament about whether work by Republican party-affiliated operatives to help mobilize Alberta separatist votes amounts to foreign interference in the Alberta referendum campaign as Canada’s public safety minister deferred such questions Monday to the national spy service.

Responding to new concerns raised by a Globe and Mail story that detailed the connections between Alberta separatists and Republican party strategists who developed a voter mobilization app, and that detailed the Albertans’ pitch to U.S. State Department officials about future exports of Alberta resources like water and oil to the U.S., Gary Anandasangaree declined to say whether it is foreign influence or, worse, interference.

The Great Generational Rip-Off

The Great Generational Rip-Off

I had an epiphany the other day about life in Canada. It came to me, of all places, in a grocery store, holding an $11 carton of milk. The shop in question was Summerhill Market, an upscale store in an upscale part of Toronto, with prices to match: $10.49 for a dozen eggs, $14.36 for a single chicken breast, $20 for a small bag of rice. At 37 years old, I’m doing all right—I no longer worry about paying the rent every month—but I still only go to Summerhill to scan the aisles for clearance stickers. Otherwise, I retreat to the nearby No Frills. I used to marvel at how Summerhill stayed afloat during an affordability crisis—until I started paying attention to the other shoppers. Most are seniors, filling their baskets with $20 bags of potato chips and other little luxuries I could never imagine buying.


I get the feeling Carney’s LPC is softening us up to accept the elite’s enjoyment of communism while we enjoy the tyranny.

PM Mark Carney pledged to ‘Buy Canadian.’ Since then, $7.8 billion in contracts went to American corporations

PM Mark Carney pledged to ‘Buy Canadian.’ Since then, $7.8 billion in contracts went to American corporations

Since assuming office a year and a half ago, Prime Minister Mark Carney has repeatedly promised that his government would “build Canadian and buy Canadian.”

But American-controlled multinational corporations have dominated the most lucrative federal contracts under Carney’s leadership, a Toronto Star analysis of government data shows. The share of government contract dollars going to U.S. companies also increased.

Since Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister in March 2025 and up to the end of July 2026 — the latest available data — Ottawa awarded $25 billion in contracts to buy everything from cloud services to military vehicles and office furniture.


I never thought we would see another government so ready to lie about everything.

GUNTER: Despite Carney’s claims, Canada’s immigration numbers largely unchanged

GUNTER: Despite Carney’s claims, Canada’s immigration numbers largely unchanged

Earlier this year, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government announced — or rather boasted — that they had brought immigration under control after the open-floodgate Trudeau years. In 2025 the national population, they claimed, shrank by 102,000 people, the first decline since Confederation.

Joel Kotkin: Hating Trump is natural. Destroying Canada’s future to get back at him is borderline insane

Joel Kotkin: Hating Trump is natural. Destroying Canada’s future to get back at him is borderline insane

Donald Trump has clearly gotten into the heads of Canadians, leading the country towards a near insane alliance with a stagnating Europe and the Chinese authoritarian super state. This is a bad idea. Trump may strut like a would-be dictator, but he will be gone in two years and his imprint, if anything, will bring on a government that, if anything, will be much closer to Canadian values and norms.

MORGAN: Mark Carney’s mass immigration obsession will turn Canada into the EU

MORGAN: Mark Carney’s mass immigration obsession will turn Canada into the EU

Prime Minister Mark Carney recently told the New York Times that Canada’s immigration system is finally “under control.” He feels it’s time for Ottawa to resume a “controlled increase” in the population. “That will happen,” he said. “It’s the nature of Canada.”


The pause is over because Carney needs mass immigration to juice the economy’s numbers.

While France Burns, Driven by the Radical Left According to Intelligence, and Its Sovereign Debt Approaches Bailout Levels, Mark Carney Wants to Bind Canada to Europe

OTTAWA – On Thursday in Marseille, a woman told a group of youths to stop wrecking a bus shelter. One of them, masked, turned an aerosol can into a makeshift flamethrower and sprayed fire into her face. The video has gone around the world. A 15-year-old, identified through street cameras, is in pretrial detention, and prosecutors are pursuing a charge of “act of barbarism.”

Understanding Canada’s Europe Pivot

Understanding Canada’s Europe Pivot

Last month, after Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, and announced that Canada and the European Union would pursue a closer relationship, we asked for your questions about the topic.

In our recent one-hour interview with Mr. Carney, he spoke extensively about his vision for this new relationship. And Jeanna Smialek, our Brussels bureau chief, obtained a copy of the draft statement being prepared ahead of a summit in Montreal at the end of this month between the European Union and Canada.

So we return to the question of the European Union — one I’m excited to tackle as a former Brussels correspondent who dedicated nearly a decade to covering the bloc.

I fought for investment in Canada’s defence as international order eroded

I fought for investment in Canada’s defence as international order eroded

During my time as the chief of the defence staff, the global security situation changed profoundly, and not for the better. The confluence of security stressors – geopolitical order, climate change, acceleration of technological change and societal dynamics – presented challenges perhaps unique in the long arc of human history. The international order established at the end of the Second World War was eroding. Climate change was spurring conflict, human migration and natural disasters. Rapid technological advance was not only changing the character of war, but also how countries pursue national objectives. Social order was becoming fraught with division. By 2022, especially after Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, I came to believe that we were undergoing a turning point in global security affairs.

Why Canada is preparing for a (long shot) US invasion

Why Canada is preparing for a (long shot) US invasion

Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted last week that he has prepared for a once-unthinkable scenario – a US invasion.

Noting the risk was low and the likelihood highly improbable, he told the New York Times he had a responsibility to consider all possibilities as the US-Canada relationship is redefined under the Donald Trump presidency.

“That’s just risk management,” Carney said.

The population bust that wasn’t

The population bust that wasn’t

Preliminary numbers released by Ottawa earlier this year showed that Canada’s population was dropping for the first time since Confederation – but there was a small problem. The numbers weren’t accurate. When Statistics Canada released revised numbers last week, it showed that Canada’s population had actually increased in early 2026.

The shifting population numbers aren’t just a rounding error of interest to economists – they have big implications for assessing economic growth and immigration policy. The recent revision shows that Ottawa still doesn’t have a good handle on who is in the country. While the revisions are welcome, more needs to be done so the federal government can provide timely and accurate population information.


Carney and company regard truth as detrimental to their profits.

Wage suppression is a good thing in their circles. They will continue to lie.

Conrad Black: Carney’s invasion musings

Conrad Black: Carney’s invasion musings

The green shoots of rational thought may finally be surging out of the ground in the current imbroglio between Canada and the United States. In his recent interview with the New York Times, Prime Minister Carney made a good many appropriate conciliatory noises, without backing down an inch on the legitimate points of Canadian sovereignty that he has been making. It was perhaps foreordained that before this exchange reverted to reasonable civility between apparently responsible people, it was necessary that reference be made to the possibility of armed conflict between Canada and the United States.

Canada’s International Student Drop Offset By Domestic Surge

Canada’s International Student Drop Offset By Domestic Surge

Canada’s major international student shift hit schools hard, but not enrollment totals. Postsecondary enrollment hit a new high in 2024/2025, according to Statistics Canada (StatCan) data. International enrollment made its sharpest drop in over 30 years, as widely expected. However, a surge in domestic enrollment almost entirely offset the drop.


But of course we were being scammed.

The people in government who aided and abetted the foreign student scam need to be jailed and exiled.
