Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
Carney’s public endorsement of Trump’s leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Prime Minister Mark Carney “revised” his first major Parliamentary bill as Canada’s leader on August 8, by mandating that industrial projects deemed fit for speedy approval “must” serve the interests of indigenous peoples.
This unilateral reinvention repudiates the legal text of Bill C-5, passed into law on June 26, which only states that indigenous interests “may” or “can” be considered.
In the wake of a stormy stretch in Canada-U.S. relations, the Canadian view of American leadership has plummeted.
Gallup’s latest survey of Canadian opinion, conducted in May and June, found approval of Washington slipping to 15 per cent, statistically in line with sentiment when Donald Trump was president the first time.
But they love Obama!
Politicians past and present from across Canada have responded to an invitation to be “adopted” by the United States with a resounding “no.”
Maine State Senator Joseph Martin suggested that British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba should become “full American states,” arguing that those who truly want “freedom” must look south of the 49th.
TULSA, OKLAHOMA — Over the past few weeks, my inbox has been flooded with frightened and heartbreaking messages from Canadian Jews. Many are scared and looking for ways out of Canada, telling deeply personal stories of fear, marginalization, and hopelessness.
I had shared in these pages my family’s reasons for choosing to leave Canada — Vancouver, specifically — to pursue opportunities in the U.S., and obviously hit a nerve with National Post readers
A judge of the British Columbia Supreme Court recently found that the Cowichan First Nation holds Aboriginal title over 800 acres of government land in Richmond, B.C. But that’s not all. Wherever Aboriginal title is found to exist, said the court, it is a “prior and senior right” to fee simple title, whether public or private. That means it trumps the property you have in your house, farm or factory.
A Crack Beneath the Rug
Canada’s reputation for unfailing politeness is like that neighbor you trust completely, the one you’d invite over to watch the game and have a beer, and you’d feel confident they wouldn’t take off with your favorite beer stein.
That same neighbor might harbor a secret, even him, that he might have a crack beneath his basement. Unseen, that is, until it opens up. That crack doesn’t disrespect your hospitality; it simply IS.
With the federal carbon tax dead and gone, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has found a new target among the Liberal government’s climate policies — the electric vehicle availability standard, otherwise known as the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
“We will legalize, into the future, your right to drive a gas or diesel-powered truck or car by repealing the Liberal EV mandate,” Poilievre said last week, while restating his desire to see a number of Liberal policies repealed.
The Canadian government asked an independent labour board to order more than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants back to work, less than 12 hours into a strike that caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled.
Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order parties to resume and continue operations and duties. She also asked the board to impose final and binding arbitration, and extend the terms of the parties’ existing contract until a new one can be determined.
OTTAWA – When Prime Minister Jean Chrétien got hit in the face with a pie 25 years ago, the only thing hurt was his pride.
A quarter-century later, Canada’s security landscape has changed radically. Threats of violence against politicians have become far more common. What seemed like a harmless prank then looks more like a warning now.
“There is this view that you’re a politician, it’s all fair game,” said Catherine McKenna — who was herself the target of multiple threats of violence while she served as a federal minister.
The Trudeau regime was the most vile Canada has ever endured so it should be no wonder that they found themselves the target of a justifiably intense public anger.
OTTAWA – Ottawa’s Indo-Pacific strategy has yet to give Canada adequate visibility or distinguish it from the U.S. in the region, experts have told researchers commissioned by the federal government.
The Liberals launched the strategy in late 2022 to make Canada a partner of choice for some of the fastest-growing economies on the planet. In releasing the strategy, Ottawa acknowledged that it is perceived locally as having engaged only intermittently in the region over the decades.
More than two years later, a report commissioned by Global Affairs Canada says regional experts see Canada as “a strategic but secondary player aligned with U.S. geopolitical priorities” that is “often perceived as an extension of U.S. foreign policy rather than an independent global actor.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Between the Edmonton Oilers making their second consecutive Stanley Cup appearance, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s well-publicized links to the region, and Premier Danielle Smith’s regular appearances on Fox News, Alberta has been on America’s mind a lot this year.
This ought to go over well.
The largest and oldest shipyard in Canada says it didn’t stand a chance in bidding against a Chinese company to build four new vessels for B.C. Ferries.
It’s the latest criticism levelled at the ferry operator following its decision to purchase the vessels from Chinese-state owned CMI Weihai Shipyards. That criticism and China’s punishing new tariffs on Canadian agriculture products have renewed calls for the contract to be cancelled.
This stinks.
A Charlottetown café owner says when she agreed to participate in a fundraising campaign run by the Confederation Centre of the Arts, she didn’t expect to be asked to distribute “problematic” imagery.
The State Department took issue with a stream of that initiative that prioritizes the hiring of diverse journalists, including those who are Indigenous, Black, have disabilities or are part of the LGBTQ community. The report claimed that discriminated “against journalists who fell outside of these favoured categories.”
OTTAWA – The U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada’s Online News Act in a human rights report that criticizes press freedom in Canada — which experts characterized Thursday as Orwellian.
The Online News Act, which requires Meta and Google to compensate news publishers for the use of their content, is cited in a section of the report covering freedom of the press.
“The U.S. is determined to crush two important pieces of Canadian legislation, the Online News Act and the Online Streaming Act. Their end game is clear,” said Fen Hampson, an international affairs professor at Carleton University.
The only Newspeak spoken is by the racists attempting to mask their blatant support for DEI and their hatred of White males.
And what “historical harms”? Correct spelling? Good Grammar? Coloring within the lines?
Oh look Hermida was with the bullshit BBC.
