VANCOUVER — A new civil forfeiture case in British Columbia has surfaced extraordinary details about a clandestine fentanyl production network that investigators say operated with academic-level expertise, imported laboratory equipment from overseas, and, significantly, relied predominantly on 4-Piperidone, a precursor chemical that Chinese suppliers moved to after the U.S. government cracked down on previous analogs.
“Let’s put our political stripes aside and start working together collectively on large infrastructure projects, on other areas that he can cooperate with the government,” he added, on his way out of a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford put the focus on making Canada globally competitive rather than securing a trade deal with the United States as they met in Ottawa on Monday.
Carney and Ford were meeting on Parliament Hill as trade talks with the United States show little signs of progressing.
Ford was asked by reporters after the meeting Monday what he felt the chances were for a tariff-free deal with the United States, but he said U.S. President Donald Trump’s behaviour was “unpredictable.”
OTTAWA — A leading free-market think tank is calling on Ottawa to stop playing landlord to major airports, arguing that exorbitant land rental fees are driving up the cost of domestic air travel.
“Using airports as cash cows instead of treating them as critical infrastructure hurts families, workers, and patients who depend on reliable air service for treatment access,” says Samantha Dagres, the communications manager at the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI).
They really do not want you to travel.
Moving to Canada no easy road for these people fleeing Trump’s America for political reasons
Robert Apgar-Taylor vividly remembers the day he and his husband, Robert Taylor, crossed the border into Canada, fleeing the changing political climate in their native United States in hopes of a safer life in Canada.
“We took a picture at the border. It was winter,” said Apgar-Taylor. “We wore our plaid shirts and hats, and showed our immigration papers with the moving truck behind us. We were so excited.”
To avoid confusion, this story refers to Apbar-Taylor’s husband as Rob.
We’re not exactly getting America’s best and brightest.
Roughly half of young renters and a third of tenants at all ages are spending the majority of their after-tax income on rent, according to a new report.
Experts say the survey, which was published by Rentals.ca this week, shows that the adage of limiting your rental expenses to one-third of your income is simply no longer possible for many Canadians – a situation that could threaten the ability of renters to adequately save for retirement.
I find it sickening that the Globe which advocates for continued mass immigration pretends to give a damn about anyone squeezed out of housing by corporate Canada’s imported scabs.
A Haitian family was separated at the Quebec-U.S. border this spring due to what an immigration lawyer calls a “legal glitch” some fear could become a wider problem as more migrants flee the United States into Canada.
The family attempted to enter Canada at the official land crossing in Lacolle, Que., in March, according to immigration documents.
They are not in danger in the United States, we have no obligation to accept any of them.
John Slipp took over his father’s duty-free store in 1994, which had been started more than a decade earlier.
This month, he closed the Woodstock Duty Free Shop Inc. as lower traffic at the U.S.-Canada border dealt the final blow to a business already weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, at 59, Slipp says he will have to find another source of income and is advocating for more government support for stores like his.
British Columbia, and much of the country, is confronting the consequences of an economic model that was never built to last. For years, we have been told a comforting story about growth — that as long as cranes dot the skyline and property values climb, prosperity will follow. But beneath that veneer lies a stark truth: our economy is not driven by value-added manufacturing, groundbreaking technology, innovation, or by unlocking our vast natural resource potential. It is built almost entirely on real estate and relentless population growth driven by mass immigration. And it relies on the building and selling of homes to the next wave of newcomers.
This is not diversification. This is dependency. And like all dependencies, it eventually demands a price.
In Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report, set in 2054, crime has been eliminated thanks to psychics who predict wrongdoing before it happens. “Pre-criminals” are arrested for “Pre-crimes” they haven’t committed. But the visions are flawed and open to manipulation. The dark side of “pre-crime” is totalitarianism disguised as public safety. The film is a timeless warning about the tension between liberty and security.
President Donald Trump has told Canada that if it recognizes Palestine as a state, it’s jeopardizing a trade pact with the U.S. The threat is more than leverage for talks. It’s a reminder that the West is giving up on civilization and needs to be rousted from its slumber.
“Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.”
OTTAWA – A lawyer for Canadian diplomats and their families says he believes the mysterious ailments they suffered in Cuba were caused by a foreign adversary, despite a federal government report that dismisses the theory.
Eight years after foreign service officials and their dependants began reporting such symptoms as headaches, memory loss, mood changes, vision problems, nausea and nosebleeds, a legal action against Ottawa over the health problems is still grinding along in Federal Court.
Air Canada flight attendants will defy the back-to-work order and remain on strike after the federal government ordered binding arbitration to end the work stoppage, the Canadian Union of Public Employees told Radio-Canada on Sunday.
The union, which represents the 10,000 flight attendants, has accused federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu of caving to Air Canada’s demands.
It’s a small change that risks cultivating a big debate.
On one side is the principle of farmer’s privilege — the traditional right of Canadian farmers to save seeds at the end of a growing season and reuse them the next year.
On the other is the principle of plant breeders’ rights — the right of those who develop new seeds and plants to protect and profit from their discoveries.
The issue has been dormant for a decade. Now, proposed changes to government rules regarding plant breeders’ rights are reviving that debate.
This week, the Toronto International Film Festival attempted to cancel, then reinstated, the screening of The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, a documentary on a retired Israeli general’s successful attempt to rescue his family during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks by Hamas.
The organizers of TIFF reportedly claimed they needed Hamas’s permission to show the footage of the extreme violence from October 7 found on the GoPros of Hamas terrorists.
Muslim hate will not be stopped by recognizing a Pallie State and it won’t be stopped even if Israel were were wiped off the map.
Islam is a murder cult and they will eventually come for you.
