Liberals, Conservatives pass major projects legislation in House of Commons

Separated at birth.

Conservative members of Parliament voted with the minority Liberal government to pass its marquee major projects legislation Friday evening, setting it up to become law before Canada Day.

The legislation, also known as the one Canadian economy act, would allow the government to green-light a list of projects that have been deemed to be in the national interest, fast-tracking their approvals.

The Liberals have called it the core of the government’s domestic economic response to U.S. tariffs.

Vivian Bercovici: Iran could fall any day, and Carney could not be more irrelevant

SDEROT, Israel — On Feb. 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, stood at the top of the stairs of an Air France jet that had just landed in Tehran. This stern, robed man had been whisked from his country villa provided by the French government (then led by President Valery Giscard d’Estaing) to a waiting jet. During his 14 years in exile, Ayatollah Khomeini was treated reverentially by the French. Before descending the stairs, the 40 year old cleric paused, triumphantly.


I think Carney is where he wants to be.

Shoring up the Muslim vote and waiting for profitable opportunities to arise.

Israel will become less viable for business as it becomes increasingly isolated and subject to additional sanctions while the Islamic world will open to their new BFF Carney.

73 Percent of Canadians Support Cross-Country Pipeline Project: Survey

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians would back a national energy corridor and pipeline extending from Alberta to Eastern Canada, a new survey suggests.

Fifty-one percent of the 1,120 Canadian adults surveyed by Nanos between June 1 and June 3 “support” a cross-country pipeline, while 22 percent indicated they “somewhat support” the concept.

Twelve percent of respondents said they “oppose” the idea of a pipeline while another 12 percent were “somewhat opposed” to the idea, the survey found. Three percent of Canadians polled said they were “unsure.”

Vermont lawmaker resigns to move to Canada, citing financial insecurity and political fears

Sports a “She Persisted” tattoo when clearly she did not.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — When Mari Cordes discovered Vermont during a bike trip in 1982, the Michigan native thought she’d never leave.

“Vermont was the first place that felt like home,” she said. “And it still does.”

But Cordes, a Democrat who has served for seven years in the Vermont House of Representatives, resigned Thursday ahead of a planned move to Canada on July 4 — what she’s taken to calling her own Independence Day. A cardiovascular critical care nurse, Cordes has secured a job at a hospital in rural Nova Scotia.


Financial insecurity? You mean she’s looking forward to it?

Think tank warns indigenous claims are “out-of-control”

Indian Money Dance

A new report from the Fraser Institute has raised alarms about the escalating costs and inefficiencies of Canada’s specific claims process.

Specific Claims: An Out-of-Control Program, penned by Tom Flanagan, Professor Emeritus at the University of Calgary, details how the federal government’s handling of Indigenous claims has led to a surge in settlements, with $7.1 billion paid out in fiscal year 2024/25 alone.

Flanagan argues that the process has become a “perpetual motion machine” generating ever-larger claims with little transparency.

Burlington Vermont Renames Church Street to Canada Street in Anti-Trump Snub

Woke Vermonters attempt to entice Canadians with a feeble overture meant to whitewash years of poor, Marxist management that increased crime and decreased economic vitality.

In a virtue-signaling display of institutional Trump Derangement Syndrome, the city of Burlington, Vermont, passed a resolution to spend $3,000 to rename its main shopping corridor from Church Street to Canada Street. The silly effort is premised on the goal of attracting more shoppers to the progressive Gotham’s dying commercial sector in a spiteful swipe at President Trump. Burlington is cutting off its nose on its path to self-destruction.

How Canada’s dairy cartel keeps fumbling our foreign trade negotiations

As Canada is actively trying to expand its trade with the non-U.S. world, Parliament has just entrenched the one thing that has scuppered more trade negotiations than anything else.

This week, the first bill passed by the 45th Parliament ended up being a Bloc Québécois-championed proposal to shield the Canadian supply management system from any foreign trade negotiations.

I served in Justin Trudeau’s PMO. This is what I think of Mark Carney’s first big mistake

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 has generated a lot of chatter. Unfortunately, there’s a lot that has been missing in the conversation.

For starters, the Indian government’s belief that Canada is soft on extremists seeking to establish an independent Sikh state known as Khalistan isn’t exactly new. In fact, despite the fact I have now entered middle age, it’s about as old as I am. But as India-Canada relations appear to be entering a new phase under Prime Minister Carney, it’s worth considering what we are giving up by welcoming the Modi government back into our good graces.

We are a nation of Fifth Columns forever divided without hope of regaining a unifying identity.

Trump’s trade war is hammering Canada much harder than Mexico

It’s often said that no one wins in a trade war, but not everyone loses equally, either.

As U.S. President Donald Trump hammers his country’s two closest trading partners with tariffs, the blows are landing much harder on Canada than Mexico.

The number of commercial trucks entering the U.S. from Canada fell 10.5 per cent in May from the year before, according to new data on border traffic released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Canada’s Spy Chief Says Social Cohesion ‘Weakening’ Amid Threats Like Terrorism, Foreign Interference

The director of Canada’s spy agency is warning about the state of social cohesion in the country.

Daniel Rogers, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency (CSIS), made the comment in the agency’s annual report for 2024, which was publicly released on June 18.

“Our social cohesion has been weakening in recent years, creating cleavages in our social fabric that threat actors seek to exploit,” wrote Rogers, who took the helm of the agency in October 2024, replacing David Vigneault.

Mass immigration has made Canada into a balkanized nation of Fifth Columns and that’s exactly what Carney and his pals want.

BARBER: PM Carney tells a tale or two to justify his pro-European leaning

In a foreign and defence policy speech on June 9, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that U.S. predominance in global security is a “thing of the past.”

That is factually incorrect.

Carney wants to hitch our wagon to Eurowagons whose people won’t fight to defend themselves.

Canadian Charity with Alleged Terror Ties Builds $6.5M Islamic Center Amid Financial Mismanagement Concerns

The opening of an Islamic center associated with the Canadian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood front group, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), has been delayed due to a funding shortfall of about $1 million.

Located in Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, the long-awaited Islamic Centre of Yellowknife (ICYK) was expected to open in March 2025, but it is now unlikely to open until later this year.

Canada to limit foreign steel imports to help producers hit by U.S. tariffs

Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking some action to crack down on the dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada to help the country’s big three steel producers reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s 50-per-cent tariffs.

Mr. Carney in a press conference in Ottawa on Thursday said the government will limit steel imports from countries that don’t have a free trade agreement with Canada to 2024 levels.
