In Carney’s world, Canada is more powerful than Trump thinks

U.S. President Donald Trump has reacted harshly to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s acclaimed speech at Davos. First Mr. Trump claimed Canada was a small-power satellite dependent on the U.S. Then Mr. Trump threatened 100-per-cent tariffs if Canada made a deal with China.

Till this day, we are still feeling the aftershock of the speech. Some observers have criticized Mr. Carney for provoking Mr. Trump. McGill University’s Andrew Potter called Mr. Carney “reckless.”


I bet the author of this love letter caught the clap from Carney.

The British should have their holy places

I think by now most of us can spot a double standard when we see one. So let me try two out on you. In what situation is it acceptable to denounce an MP or parliamentary candidate as ‘not very British’ or even someone who ‘doesn’t get our values, our culture, or our history’. When it is said by a Reform candidate about an MP from an ethnic minority? Or when Jeevun Sandher MP says it about Matt Goodwin, the Reform party candidate for Gorton and Denton?

Doubtless you have already guessed the correct answer. The above phrase was used this week by Labour’s Sandher to denounce Goodwin, and as a result it has passed without any serious comment. By contrast, if Goodwin had described Sandher in similar terms I think we can all agree that the news cycle would have stopped (even Jeffrey Epstein would have fallen off the front pages) and Labour MPs would be gearing up to talk about Enoch Powell again.

Joel Kotkin: Carney is turning Canada into China’s vassal state

 

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the recent Davos conference — where he called for decoupling from the U.S. while entering a “strategic partnership” with China — was greeted rapturously abroad. His tough on Trump rhetoric is certainly winning political points at home as well.

Yet, in listing towards China, Carney is not only ignoring geography, but embracing an authoritarian regime far more dangerous than anything coming from MAGA. China’s clear intention is to seek global hegemony based on trade with an array of vassal states. All are then expected to follow Beijing’s party line.

Europe’s left wants to replace the white working class with migrants

Granting citizenship to hordes of illegal immigrants coming from Africa and the Middle East is a threat to the whole of Europe, but it makes the left happy.

We live in strange and interesting times, in which leaders of the left hope that migrants (who, of course, will not be Cuban, Ukrainian, or Venezuelan) replace, literally, white people.

The Spanish MEP and leader of Podemos, Irene Montero, celebrated the dramatic regularization of illegal immigrants wanted by Pedro Sánchez’s government as a “victory”. The measure will benefit at least half a million illegal immigrants. An enormous figure for a very old population of 49 million Spaniards, who in fact do not approve of the demographic invasion.

Canada’s Massive ‘Voluntary’ Gun Buyback Program Comes With Prison Time

The Gun Buyback was made to order for Mark Carney’s China Pivot.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians could face prison time if they do not turn in their newly prohibited guns under a supposedly “voluntary” gun buyback program that is testing the strength of Canada’s bureaucratic regime.

Since May 2020, the Canadian government has attempted to institute a massive “assault-style firearms compensation program” that will purportedly trade cash for prohibited guns. If Canadians do not turn in a prohibited gun by October 2026, they could face up to five years in prison. The program has faced massive pushback from provincial leaders and gun rights organizations who say it will only disarm law-abiding Canadians.

Feminism: The ‘Shadow Church’ Replacing Christianity

A Catholic scholar warns that feminist ideology is a religion destroying women for generations to come.

“Feminism has created a Shadow Church,” author Carrie Gress stated at the Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., last week. She said the movement functions as a sinister moral system intent on replacing Christianity, as it offers its own authority, rituals, and theological principles in direct opposition to Christianity and its influence on Western society. She contends that this framework explains why debates over gender roles, abortion, and transgenderism continue to intensify after decades of feminist influence over our culture.

Quebec’s demographic decline looms large in sovereignty debate

The first time the Parti Québécois came to power promising to hold a referendum on sovereignty, in 1976, Quebec accounted for 27.2 per cent of Canada’s population. More than 100,000 anglophones left the province during the PQ’s first term in office alone. The exodus continued after the 1980 referendum that saw Quebeckers vote to stay in Canada.

By the time of the second referendum – in 1995, following the PQ’s return to power the previous year – Quebec’s share of the Canadian population had declined to 24.7 per cent. While fewer anglophones left the province in the wake of that plebiscite, lower immigration levels than in the rest of Canada meant that Quebec’s population grew much more slowly than the populations of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia during the subsequent three decades.

Blue States’ Demographic Nightmare

The Democratic Party has come a long way from 1996, when President Bill Clinton’s reelection campaign declared that America “cannot tolerate illegal immigration” and added, “We continue to firmly oppose welfare benefits for illegal immigrants.”

When we seek explanations for why today’s Democrats refuse to call those here without permission “illegal,” oppose lawful deportations, and seek government benefits for those who’ve snuck into the country, we probably need to look no further than the population woes of Democratic states. At a time when states are governed increasingly by one party or another, the latest migration trends, released last week, show Americans continuing to move heavily away from states with politics dominated by Democrats, and toward Republican locales—significantly shifting population, political power, and economic resources.

Parliament Can Say ‘No’ to MAID for Mental Illness

By age 40, around half of Canadians will suffer or have suffered from mental illness, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The other half will have someone close to them who has.

Canada’s MAID (medical assistance in dying) law is scheduled to expand to make people who suffer solely from mental illness eligible for MAID on March 17, 2027. While Canada’s approach to mental illness importantly focuses on mental health care, the expansion of MAID threatens to significantly alter that approach.

First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for youth

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has issued a broad recommendation against gender transition surgeries for youths, becoming the first major medical association in the United States to narrow its guidance on pediatric gender care amid a crackdown by the Trump administration.

A statement sent Tuesday to the group’s 11,000 members and obtained by The Washington Post recommends surgeons delay gender-related chest, genital and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old. Fewer than 1,000 minors in the United States receive such surgeries every year, according to research published in JAMA, the American Medical Association’s journal, and the vast majority of the procedures are mastectomies, not genital surgeries.

3 accused in Ontario explosives investigation were developing anti-drone weapons system

The three Ontario men accused of storing materials that could be made into explosives had been looking for money to back the production of a military system designed to prevent drone attacks.

The accused, Jerry Tong, Zekun Wang, and Fei (Frank) Han, had created videos to pitch the project, which include footage of a device that could be transported in the back of a pickup truck. The most recent video, viewed by CBC News, was uploaded on Oct. 25, 2025.
