RCMP charges CAF members with trying to create ‘anti-government militia’ and seize land

Three men face a terrorism charge for allegedly planning to create an anti-government militia and seize land in Quebec, according to the RCMP.

Looking Beyond the U.S. for Trade, Canada Begins Shipping Natural Gas to Asia

The voyage of a tanker loaded with liquefied natural gas and headed to South Korea from British Columbia is a pivotal moment in Canadian trade, the government says.

It is the first natural gas shipment from a major Canadian plant to Asia as Canada looks to diversify its export markets in the aftermath of President Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.

The shipment on the Gaslog Glasgow comes a decade after a gas line project in Kitimat, British Columbia, was approved. Prime Minister Mark Carney has trumpeted the project, LNG Canada, whose plant, pipeline, gas fields, docks and other assets are worth 48 billion Canadian dollars (about $35 billion).

MacKINNON: The nation-state and the Canadian crisis of legitimacy

Either the nation-state is a viable form of political organisation, or it is not. There is no third option. It cannot be both the foundation of modern civic order and an outdated remnant to be discarded at the whim of a global managerial class. Its legitimacy must be judged not by the latest political trends, but by its historical roots and lasting importance in safeguarding human freedom, political accountability, and national sovereignty.

Parks Canada staffers annoyed over activists pushing for CPR commemoration changes

OTTAWA — Persistent emails from activists pestering Parks Canada to rewrite a commemoration of Canada’s transcontinental railway through a revisionist lens spurned annoyance among agency staffers.

In a report published by Blacklock’s Reporter, Parks Canada staffers complained in emails about the revisionists, demanding changes to a commemoration of the Canadian Pacific Railway, taking exception to descriptions of the transcontinental railway’s last spike driven on Nov. 7, 1885 at Craigellachie, B.C. — about 40 km west of Revelstoke — as being “the moment when national unity was realized.”

Breaking! Politicians Lie!

Politicians overstating benefits of scrapping internal trade barriers: Think tank

OTTAWA — A new report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is dismissing moves by the federal government and Canada’s premiers to break down internal trade barriers as little more than “political theatre.”

It lands just ahead of the country’s internal trade ministers meeting in Quebec City this week, where they are expected to talk about their next steps as they rush to remove rules hampering cross-provincial trade.

A breakthrough drug could slow Alzheimer’s. Here’s why many Canadians may not be able to access it

Amherstburg, ONT. — When he was 64, Mike Kessler retired from his job in the auto industry because he felt like his brain wasn’t working as it should. He kept forgetting things like what day it was and the word he was looking for.

His wife, Karen, pushed their doctor for a referral to a neurologist. It took a year to see the specialist and another eight months for testing, but finally, in 2021, they had an answer: Mike had vascular dementia and mild Alzheimer’s.

Their family doctor told them that for now, there was nothing more to be done.


WHAT? Didn’t they offer him MAID?

Palestinians celebrate Jew Killing

Palestinian students say visa delays have stranded them despite admission to Canadian schools

With two of their peers killed last year, more than 70 Palestinian students are raising the alarm over stalled immigration to Canada despite admissions and scholarships at universities across the country, stranding them in Gaza or nearby Egypt and Jordan as they wait out a war.

“The situation in Gaza is getting hard day by day, they are targeting many crowded and random places,” said Meera, an industrial engineering student who has been accepted to the University of Regina on scholarships to pursue a master’s degree, but is stuck waiting in Gaza City, where she’s unable to submit a completed visa application to the federal Immigration Department.

“Like so many other students, I become trapped with my dreams,” she told CBC News in an interview.


We have more than our share send them to North Korea.

GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s retaliatory tariffs having little impact on U.S.

The practical problem Prime Minister Mark Carney faces in negotiating a new trade and security deal with President Donald Trump is that Canada is firing blanks with its retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.

The issue, as Carney noted in explaining why “dollar-for-dollar” tariffs against the U.S. won’t work — after he initially supported them while running for the Liberal leadership — is that the U.S. economy is 10 times the size of Canada’s.
