Carney lays out security ‘guardrails’ for China as Canada looks to build up relationship

Prime Minister Mark Carney has begun to lay out publicly what he sees as boundaries when dealing with China, as his government wades into a new relationship with the economic giant.

Carney, who earlier this year called China one of Canada’s biggest security threats, has more recently spoken openly about resetting the relationship with Beijing as the Liberal government seeks more trading partners in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.

In a year-end interview with CBC News, he was asked by chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton if he sees risks in Canada aligning economically with China.

HANNAFORD: Canada, Australia, victims of their own illusions

‘We think religion is a private affair. But what happens when we accept immigrants from cultures where they think religion is not private but that actually it’s the only thing in politics that matters?’

Confronted at very short notice with the need to respond to an egregious hate crime – the slaughter in Sydney of 15 Jews by radical Islamists – Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese completely exposed the moral vacuum at the heart of Western democracy.

Instead of damning the perpetrators for what they were, he blathered on about a general confrontation with extremism — right-wing extremism, no less — and the need for harsher gun laws.

‘Non-Binary’ Teacher Refused to Teach 10-Year-Old Son of Conservative School Board Member

The teacher was concerned for ‘their’ personal safety.

In an outrageous demand that turns the concept of civil rights on its head, a fifth grade teacher in the Tumwater School District in Washington State rejected the placement of a 10-year-old child in ‘their’ class because the student is the son of a conservative school board member who rejects transgender ideology and objects to biological boys competing in girls’ sports.

Carney Floor Crossing Raises Counterintelligence Questions, Former Senior Mountie Argues

I spent years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police learning a simple rule. You assess risk based on capability, intent, and opportunity — not on hope or assumptions. When those three factors align, ignoring them is negligence.

That framework applies directly to Canada’s relationship with the People’s Republic of China — and to recent political events that deserve far more scrutiny than they have received.

These Afghan sex attacks cannot be ignored

Afghanistan is the most misogynistic nation on Earth. Now those attitudes have been brought to Britain.

What role are Afghan nationals playing in the recent spate of sexual offences carried out by illegal male migrants? This question is becoming more urgent than ever, with polling showing that most Britons now believe that the small-boats crisis poses a serious threat to the safety of women and girls.

Conrad Black: Americans ignoring us is to our peril

Last week I carefully read the statement of strategic purpose of the Trump administration, a document published by every recent incoming administration within a year of its inauguration. The strategic statement has been received with misgivings by members of the Fortress America school that holds that the United States should be ready at all times to repulse any initiative from any potential rival country or group of countries, and by Western Europeans always on the lookout for any softening commitment of the United States to the defence of Western Europe.

I will explain why I don’t share those concerns, but my principal reservation about the strategic statement is that the country, and indeed the word, Canada, is mentioned only once in this document. A number of other countries are also overlooked but none of them has as intimate a geographic, commercial, and cultural association with the United States as Canada does.

‘Donald Trump has given white South Africans hope’: Refugee fleeing the country for new life in US details horrific torture being inflicted in farm attacks

White South Africans have thanked US President Donald Trump for giving them ‘hope’ after he invited them to the US as refugees, with some saying ‘Trump definitely knows exactly what is going on’ in the Rainbow nation.

In October the Trump administration announced it would limit the number of those seeking international protection to 7,500, giving priority to Afrikaner and white South Africans.

This favouring is backdropped by the launch of the refugee programme U.S. Mission to South Africa.

Drug Violence Tightens Its Grip on Brussels

Brussels is experiencing a sharp rise in violence, with multiple explosions and shootings reported over just five days in the Saint-Gilles municipality. The latest incident occurred on Wednesday evening on Rue du Céleri, near Place de Bethléem—a known hotspot for drug activity. Authorities confirmed that the street was cordoned off and that only material damage occurred. The Belgian army’s bomb disposal unit (DOVO) and police attended the scene, and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the explosion.


Meanwhile the farmers are back …

RUBENSTEIN: Federal Islamophobia czar’s claims both exaggerated and fictitious

Blacklock’s Reporter recently revealed that the federal government’s Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, Amira Elghawaby, is using her office to advocate for Muslim prayer rooms in federal buildings, citing “Islamophobia in the workplace” when accommodations for religious practices are not made.

This initiative also exposes her as using her office to advocate for federal employees “speaking out on Palestinian issues.”

A shaken minority wonders what’s next

Jack Frieberg’s parents were Holocaust survivors.

Louis and Gerda Frieberg came to Toronto in the 1950s to start a new life in the New World. He worked as a carpenter, she as a seamstress, making 70 cents a dress in a Spadina Avenue sweatshop. As Toronto boomed in the postwar years, they saw an opportunity and started a construction company.


I don’t see things improving for anyone in Canada who questions Islam in virtually any context.

Our mainstream politicians are cowards, our police compromised, the judiciary complicit and our education system a vile parody of its intended purpose.

Remigration is the only solution we have.

The boys of ‘EMPz 4 Life’: How life, death and murder haunt the ‘hero’ of this acclaimed Toronto documentary

Is there a way out? That was the question“EMPz 4 Life” asked as it followed Brian Henry’s efforts to help a group of troubled Toronto boys.

Jordan Mendez doesn’t flinch as the jury foreperson reads the verdict.

Guilty of first-degree murder.

He stands, expression unreadable, as his co-accused lowers his head and the victim’s mother rocks in her seat, before rising and glaring at the two men who took her son’s life.

“I’ve been in this situation before,” says Mendez, smirking, as a court officer slips handcuffs around his wrists. It’s true — he has. Years ago, the verdict was manslaughter. And yet another murder trial still lies ahead for him.

Michael Higgins: Toronto terror charges reflect a country that let the evil of antisemitism go unchecked

Is it really any wonder that three Toronto men who allegedly hunted women and targeted the Jewish community were using the very same tactics as Hamas?

On Oct. 7, 2023, it was Hamas who hunted Israeli women, raped them and killed them in a sickening display of violence that left 1,200 people dead. Within hours, there were people in Canada who took to the streets to celebrate the brutality.
