Kelly McParland: Carney thinks Canada is too weak to survive without the CBC

The 2025 federal election already has one big winner. Congratulations, CBC!

Barring a reversal of fortune, Liberal Leader Mark Carney saved the bacon of Canada’s natural broadcasting corporation when he announced that, should he remain prime minister after April 28, his government would not only keep the Crown corporation alive, it would raise its allowance until it reaches levels similar to those in Britain, Germany and France.

Liberal government’s high immigration policy created housing crisis: report

The federal Liberal government is belatedly trying to fix a housing affordability crisis it created though immigration policies which caused population growth to far exceed Canada’s capacity to build new homes to accommodate it, according to a new Fraser Institute study.

“Despite unprecedented levels of immigration-driven population growth following the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has failed to ramp up homebuilding sufficiently to meet housing demand,” said Steven Globerman, co-author of the study, “The Crisis in Housing Affordability: Population Growth and Housing Starts 1972-2024.”

Growth in Canadian food banks under Liberal gov’t prompts calls for it to be a top federal election issue

Demand for the services of local food banks has never been higher, and Carolyn McLeod-McCarthy of the Guelph Food Bank says she’s worried about the impact U.S. tariffs will have on the local economy and workers.

“We’re quite nervous about what that’s going to mean for being able to provide food to people in need,” McLeod-McCarthy told CBC News.

She said the southern Ontario food bank is seeing more people needing help than ever before.

Why Progressives Increasingly Support Violence

A new survey finds more than half of left-wing respondents believe assassinating Donald Trump could be justified.

Political violence in America is not just a relic of the past. From the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to the burning of Teslas in protest of Elon Musk, political violence is a present-day reality. More than 9,000 threats have been made against members of Congress this year—a “huge increase,” according to officials.

Are these events aberrations or do they reflect a national problem? Are they connected? And does the public support them?

The Canadian government froze my bank account just in time for the election

As most of my followers know, I left Canada in January 2021 out of genuine concern that if I didn’t, I would never be able to leave. I predicted I would be targeted by the government on account of my political dissidence—specifically due to my criticisms of Covid mandates, increasing authoritarianism, and attacks on free speech by the government, as well as on account of the fact I have been the most prominent and vocal critic of gender identity ideology and legislation in Canada for over a decade now.

China’s Cybersecurity ‘Pearl Harbor’ Against America: ‘Everything, Everywhere, All at Once’

China’s multidimensional war against US interests is already underway and well-documented. One underappreciated dimension of its attack on American primacy, however, is the arena of cybersecurity.

For decades, Communist China’s spies, hackers and businessmen have feasted on the forced transfer of technology from vulnerable US corporate enterprises drawn to the vast Chinese market. Little has been accomplished to reduce this massive theft of intellectual property. US businesses seem to have resigned themselves to such unfair practices as the price of doing business in China.

CHARLEBOIS: Childhood obesity gets a prescription — and the food sector a warning

Canada has released its first major update to pediatric obesity guidelines in nearly two decades, and the recommendations represent a dramatic departure from past approaches.

In addition to emphasizing traditional strategies such as healthy eating, physical activity, and behavioural support, the new guidelines now encourage physicians to consider prescribing GLP-1 receptor agonists — such as Ozempic and Wegovy — to children as young as 12. They also support the option of bariatric surgery for teenagers starting at age 13, even before exhausting lifestyle-based interventions.

Pizza should be a Holy food group.

Live facial recognition would enhance UK justice, says Tony Blair

Innovations such as digital identities and live facial recognition should shape the future of the criminal justice system, Tony Blair has said.

Proposals for technological advancement such as the establishment of a unique digital identifier to connect a person’s data, such as health and tax records, have been included in The Times Crime and Justice Commission’s full report and recommendations, which were released on Monday.

Blair was always a creep.

Danielle Kubes: Government cannot spend its way out of the fertility crisis

Michelle Sabari always wanted to have six children. She started dating her husband in university and told him her plan — and he was game. By age 30, they were both finally done with school, had jobs and felt stable enough to start a family. Three kids came in four years, and they took a pause to regain their footing. But she didn’t feel “done” — not even close.


The comments on the Tweet are as you’d expect …

Do You Know Why the Beatified MS-13 ‘Maryland Father’ Was ‘Mistakenly’ Deported?

MS 13 DACA Dreamer

It’s worth reminding readers of the reasons the man being described as the innocent “Maryland father” was “mistakenly” deported from Los Estados Unidos.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is now cooling his heels in the most famous El Salvadoran prison in the world. He’s gotten more love from America’s left than, say, the 14-year-old girl MS-13 hacked up with machetes in 2019 in Maryland. It’s strange, isn’t it? Ariana Funes-Diaz was hacked with a machete and hit with a baseball bat, and her lifeless and bloodied body was left in a ditch, but nobody seems to remember or care.

Would a Mark Carney win push Western separatism into the mainstream?

Earlier this month, former Reform Party leader Preston Manning sparked controversy with a Globe and Mail op-ed warning that electing a Liberal government headed by Mark Carney would pose a serious threat to Canada’s national unity.

“Voters, particularly in central and Atlantic Canada, need to recognize that a vote for the Carney Liberals is a vote for Western secession—a vote for the breakup of Canada as we know it,” he wrote. “The next prime minister of Canada, if it remains Mark Carney, would then be identified in the history books, tragically and needlessly, as the last prime minister of a united Canada.”
