It’s hard to pick the most twisted story about MAID, Canada’s euthanasia program.
Maybe it’s the man who got counselling in a Tim Hortons parking lot and then drove to a funeral home for his MAID death. Or maybe it’s the distraught families who claim their loved one was wrongly approved for MAID. Or perhaps it’s the military veterans who were given MAID counselling.
Supply management is sold to Canadians as a promise: stable farms, reliable supply and predictable prices. But stability should never mean protection from scrutiny. Canadians paying for groceries deserve to know whose interests the rules actually serve.
Canada’s chicken import quotas are a good place to start.
Canada has received its first pair of new F-35 fighter jets, with Ottawa still deliberating over how many of the American planes it will buy.
The Royal Canadian Air Force announced Friday on social media that it received the two Lockheed Martin jets, sharing a photo from Phoenix, Ariz., showing one plane with a maple leaf roundel.
Another triumph for the Master Negotiator!
U.K. opts against joining Canada-led defence bank, pledges co-operation
While in Istanbul this past week, Prime Minister Mark Carney struggled for a moment when asked to describe how he felt about limits that had been placed on Ukraine’s access to the Starshield military-grade satellite network.
When he found his voice, he spoke about the “immense human suffering” of missile strikes on Kyiv and elsewhere.
“I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision, or a group of people took this decision, against a country — and it’s against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression.”
So why no condemnation of Zelensky?
Musk accuses Ukraine of violating Starlink’s terms of service following dispute over coverage
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has accused Ukraine’s military of violating Starlink’s terms of service, after Kyiv said that access to the service had been restored.
In a post on X Saturday, Musk said that Ukraine’s armed forces had “violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people.”
No one will miss Donald Trump’s inevitable departure more than Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney. Carney, the ultimate globalist, who previously also held Irish and UK citizenship, has skilfully employed a strident nationalism that has proved a big winner among Canadians.
Ahead of this week’s Canada-European Union summit in Montreal, Prime Minister Mark Carney said both parties are hammering out a “new, ambitious alliance,” after pledging deeper ties with Europe last month.
“An alliance that builds resilience for what it allows us to do for our citizens, and our citizens to do for themselves,” Carney said in a written statement on Sunday. “An alliance strong enough so that no one can dictate our choices, and an alliance open enough that others can join.”
Conservatives went to Parliament Hill Thursday morning with a blunt charge: Mark Carney’s Liberals are running Canada’s immigration system for corporate lobbyists. By the afternoon, Liberal MPs on the immigration committee had shut down debate twice.
“The official opposition, the Conservative Party of Canada, believes immigration levels should be going down, not up,” Michelle Rempel Garner, the Conservative shadow minister for immigration, told reporters.
On a crisp fall day in 2022, I sat in a meeting room at the Château Laurier in Ottawa with executives from some of Canada’s largest apartment companies. We were there to discuss what could be done for tenants facing rising rents and evictions in some of their buildings. They were clear: Their job was to make a profit and uphold the interests of their investors. They called it their fiduciary duty. With respect to tenants struggling to pay the rent increases these same companies were imposing? We are not social services, they said. They were being honest, and we should take them at their word.
It’s a good piece that explains the transformation of housing into a corporate asset.
And Mr. Carney accidentally let us see it with our own lying eyes.
What drags it down is that weaponized mass immigration is never mentioned as a cause of the housing shortage.
I guess it’s the best we can expect from a former UN Special Rapporteur on housing.
On Oct. 5, Quebec voters returned the separatist Parti Québécois to power after more than a decade in the wilderness. Its leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, has promised a third referendum on sovereignty during his first mandate. On Monday, Albertans voted on whether to take the first step toward a referendum on separation.
If Mark Carney is going to keep gallivanting around the world making trade deals with the world’s worst dictatorships and downplaying their atrocities, could he please stop lecturing Israel about human rights?
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s threat to hold the Palestinian Authority “to account” for not holding elections this year is not a joke, but it’s certainly laughable.
Just what is Carney and his Liberal government going to do? Unrecognize Palestine? Ask for our many millions of dollars back? Call Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and tell him he’s being a very naughty boy?
At one point, Canada welcomed private investment, encouraged companies to build things, and understood that governments should create the conditions for prosperity rather than own the businesses that produce it. Currently, Ottawa is celebrating a government-controlled, government-financed oil pipeline while threatening legal action that could force Stelco’s American owner to sell its Canadian assets.
Canada’s Parliament is debating a massive expansion of surveillance powers that will threaten the privacy and security of millions of people. Bill C-22, also called the Lawful Access Act, has already passed the House of Commons, and is now before the Canadian Senate.

“How do you avoid a Nazi Germany? You didn’t,” Toronto employment lawyer Howard Levitt told The Hub. “It’s becoming like that here. And I mean, that would have seemed a ludicrous statement even a year ago… But it’s not a ludicrous statement anymore.”
Mark Carney’s government was perhaps an hour old when he first laid out an intimate shared narrative of Canada and Europe that he has returned to and refined, again and again.
“The ceremony we just witnessed reflects the wonder of a country built on the bedrock of three peoples: Indigenous, French and British,” he said as he began his first press conference as Prime Minister in front of Rideau Hall after the swearing-in ceremony.
