Liberal Leader Mark Carney said on Friday that his government would provide an initial $150-million annual funding increase to CBC and Radio-Canada as part of a new mandate for the public broadcaster.
“When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded,” Carney said in French during a campaign stop in Montreal. “That has to change.”
That initial funding top-up could rise, Carney said.
It is the offer that Greenland cannot refuse — or will be too scared to say no to.
Donald Trump is reportedly costing up the price of taking over Greenland and planning to offer more cash than Denmark.
White House advisers are said to be working on an estimate of what it would cost to provide government services for the 58,000 residents on the autonomous territory within Denmark’s kingdom.
Bell: Smith slams those whipping up Canadians for a brawl with the U.S.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is not shutting up because people who call her a traitor want her to shut up.
On Thursday, Smith has something more to say to Albertans and the rest of Canada.
“Rhetoric that amps up Canadians to encourage a brawl with our biggest trading partner is irresponsible and will hurt Canadians and their businesses.”
More documents about the relationship between Prince Andrew and an alleged Chinese agent of influence are being released to BBC News on Friday.
The court papers about Yang Tengbo’s alleged activities in the UK are becoming public after a legal battle including other media outlets for more transparency in the semi-secret case.
Mr Yang has been banned from the UK on national security grounds after the home secretary concluded that he may have been trying to exert influence on the Duke of York.
Untangling Mark Carney’s father’s ties to Fort Smith, N.W.T., Indian day school
“Mr. Carney, at the teachers conference not long ago, you told about a program you have working at the Joseph B. Tyrrell (JBT) school in Fort Smith for culturally retarded children,” the host began. “First of all, would you define a culturally retarded child for me?”
The reply was unequivocal and direct.
“A culturally retarded child in the context of the Northwest Territories is a child from a Native background who for various reasons has not been in regular attendance in school,” said Carney.
President Trump was adamant Thursday that he wants Elon Musk to be a part of his administration for “as long as possible,” teasing that the tech mogul’s team of government cost-cutters recently uncovered something “horrible.”
“I want Elon to stay as long as possible,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, before rattling off a list of reasons why he likes having the billionaire X owner around the White House.
“Number one: I like him. Number two: He’s doing a great job. Number three: He is a patriot,” the president said.
BREAKING: Trump announced that DOGE will continue well after Elon departs and that the Secretaries will assume control.
He also announced that there is something BIG that was uncovered by DOGE and we will be learning about it soon!!!

Liberal MP Paul Chiang said something profoundly unpardonable. Liberal Leader Mark Carney was perfectly content to pardon him for it. But public outrage ensued, so Chiang fell on his sword and resigned. End of story.
Except it isn’t the end of the story. It’s only going to get darker from here on in, as China waits, hopes and plans for Canada to return to the Trudeau-era embrace of the motherland.
Chinese News (posting under 大中生活 on WeChat) releases a glowing endorsement of Mark Carney. It’s described as being headquartered in Toronto, with a Chinese Canadian audience of 800,000.
There’s only one issue. Its IP address shows the account is being run from Shandong,… pic.twitter.com/HFVSlMPVM8

Over the past decade Disney has made a fortune from giving its classic films a modern makeover, with fresh takes on Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast all grossing more than a billion dollars at the box office.
And yet far from a fairytale, last month’s release of Snow White — a remake of perhaps the company’s most beloved animated feature — was a disaster and by some estimates, the film could lose $115 million.
Stellantis—the carmaker behind brands like Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep—is pausing production at two major North American assembly plants in Canada and Mexico, resulting in temporary layoffs at five U.S. facilities that supply them, the automaker confirmed in an internal email obtained by The Epoch Times.
The company will halt production at its Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, for two weeks starting April 7. In addition, the Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico will be offline for the entire month of April, according to a message sent Thursday morning by Stellantis North America COO Antonio Filosa to all North American employees.
A flagship Labour council is telling staff to undergo a “privilege” test as part of its efforts to combat unconscious bias against ethnic minorities.
Westminster city council is also seeking to boost recruitment of “global majority” candidates for senior posts by giving them preferential treatment over equally qualified white applicants – and ensuring there is at least one ethnic minority candidate on shortlists for jobs.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the United States is no longer a reliable partner and has vowed that, if his party were to form the next government, he would revoke defence and market access agreements with Washington if it violated a renegotiated trade deal with Canada.
He also pledged during a campaign stop in Kingston that he would eliminate the 5-per-cent federal goods and services tax on purchases of new, Canadian-made automobiles and light trucks, for a $2,500 savings on vehicles that cost $50,000.
The far-left German Die Linke party has proposed abolishing homework as part of its ideological push to combat social inequality. Party leader Jan van Aken argues that homework augments disparities between students from academic backgrounds and those from lower-income families. “Homework is also a class issue,” van Aken stated.
Canadian Liberals performed a traditional dance of outrage on X this week, reminiscent of Twitter circa 2015. There was even a hashtag — #WomenAgainstPoilievre — despite the fact X owner Elon Musk told users hashtags had become irrelevant in December.
What was the apparent offence that caused legions of Liberals and social media commentators to post things like, “This is unbelievable in this day and age,” “Gilead Pierre wants to regulate ovaries” and “Imagine being a Woman and voting for this garbage. Ew!”
Canada’s universities and colleges risk losing their way as schools increasingly prioritize international recruitment over their core duty to educate Canadian students.
What began as a push for cultural exchange has morphed into a system described as a “visa-for-cash” model, sidelining domestic learners and straining school communities as third-world students try to impose their backward values.
The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth — and in some cases, flat out lying — to discredit and undermine President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. In the latest example, the media are painting an illegal alien — who is allegedly a gang member — as merely a “Maryland father” with “protected legal status” who was “mistakenly” swept up in a mass deportation.
On Monday, The Atlantic’s Nick Miroff wrote that the Trump administration “mistakenly” sent a “Maryland father with protected legal status” to a Salvadoran prison due to an “administrative error.”
