Prime Minister Mark Carney will name a new cabinet on Tuesday. He has said his cabinet ministers will be an equal number of men and women.
The cabinet will be sworn in at 10:30 a.m. at Rideau Hall in Ottawa by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon.
Carney won the Liberal leadership March 9, and he and his first slimmed-down cabinet were sworn in five days later. His first cabinet had just 24 members, compared to former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s last 39-member cabinet.
Various Indigenous leaders have complained vocally about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s roundabout way of engaging with the province’s separatist movement by making it easier for organized citizens to arrange for referendums.
But the moment they have me nodding along in understanding, they pull their own sovereigntist card: arguing that the numbered treaties situated in Alberta are a higher, purer form of authority; that secession talk violates treaty rights; and that treaty land is literally their property and thus untransferable.
A new report released by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms outlines the extensive and lasting damage caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in Canada, citing a dramatic decline in mental health, a rise in non-COVID deaths, strained healthcare services, economic fallout, and increased crime.
The report, Five Years On: Tracing the Costs of Lockdowns, criticizes federal and provincial governments for implementing sweeping restrictions without transparent, evidence-based analysis.
Mere weeks after Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that bilateral relations with the U.S. were “over,” he’s leaned into a pro-American stance that is almost entirely at odds with the position he took during the federal election campaign.
In a video posted to Carney’s social media accounts on Wednesday, he featured smiling images of himself and U.S. President Donald Trump, and of U.S. Marines holding the Canadian flag. “Canada and the United States are stronger when we work together,” Carney says in a narration.

Interim NDP Leader Don Davies says the Liberals are making phone calls to NDP members of parliament to see if they will join the Liberal Party in an effort to reach a majority government.
Davies told Global News he’s not worried about his six other NDP MP colleagues switching political teams.
Canada lost more than 30,000 manufacturing jobs last month while Windsor saw a jump in its unemployment rate as U.S. tariffs take aim at the automotive sector and feed into economic uncertainty.
Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey on Friday said employment increased by 7,400 nationally, though that figure was padded by an increase in election-related hiring. The overall unemployment rate rose to 6.9 per cent, up from 6.7 per cent in April.
The April jobs figures illustrate how tariffs are beginning to squeeze the Canadian economy, affecting regions and industries most exposed to trade with the United States.
I feel for anyone who has lost their job except for the Liberal Party’s job stealing, medical services swamping, housing shortage causing migrants.
OTTAWA – As U.S. President Donald Trump continues to cast doubt on the future of the NATO military alliance, Canada is looking to partner with the European Union on defence.
Here’s a closer look at what’s driving this major shift in transatlantic relations.
What problem is Europe trying to solve?
I see a Big Liberal Slush Fund ahead.
Tipping fatigue is real — and it’s spreading. What was once a gesture of appreciation has become an increasingly opaque and frustrating part of dining out.
In our cashless, digital economy, Canadians are now routinely nudged — or guilted — into tipping more, often through emotionally manipulative interfaces. Sad emojis for selecting a 15% tip? Prompts for 20% on a $6 latte? This phenomenon, known as tip creeping, has become a serious irritant for consumers.
I’ll be honest dining out or ordering in are things of the past for me unless I trust an establishment from long experience.
The risk of food tampering is yet another feature of mass immigration.

Canada’s housing market is “cracking” under the weight of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, with housing resales down in markets across the country, a new report said.
The Royal Bank of Canada report looked at the data from the MLS Home Price Index, which is essentially the median price of a house in a market.
The sharpest pullback in people getting into the housing markets has been in southern Ontario and British Columbia, RBC economist Robert Hogue said.
Not to worry they’ll just open the mass immigration floodgates wider to juice the housing shortage.
The missing kids can wait – the land and cultural acknowledgements were the RCMP’s priority.
Most agree, the most important thing to the Nova Scotia RCMP should have been the search and whereabouts of six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack Sullivan.

I am so tired of the constant, deliberate stream of insults by our “betters”.
A former top naval commander and several defence experts have been left scratching their heads following the governing Liberals and Opposition Conservatives’ recent embrace of the notion of giving the Royal Canadian Navy heavy, armed icebreakers to defend the Arctic.
They question the military sensibility of building — possibly at a cost of billions of dollars — one, two or even three 10,000-tonne or more polar-class icebreakers with guns and missiles, vessels with possibly limited usefulness that would be vulnerable to both air and submarine attack.
Theatrics mixed with another LPC crony capitalist slush fund.
Canada is no longer a serious country — at least not when it comes to foreign policy and moral fortitude.
Over the last several years, Ottawa has failed to articulate any meaningful strategy in response to major global events, while at the same time jeopardizing some of Canada’s most important diplomatic relations. This should set alarm bells off in Washington. If Canadian and U.S. foreign policy remain this misaligned, the consequences for America could be serious.
The days of exclusionary signs at golf clubs have been replaced by open calls for jihad in Jewish neighborhoods. This will not end well.
Late last year I sat down to breakfast in Ottawa, Ontario, with Dr. Einat Wilf, one of the world’s foremost experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She had come to Canada’s capital to speak about the war in Israel, what Palestinians really want, and the future of a possible two-state solution. Near the end of our chat, I asked if she had seen any of the “pro-Palestinian” rallies that had become a weekly occurrence in the city. “One of them went by my hotel last night,” Wilf said. “There’s a very dark energy to them. Serious pre-pogrom vibes.”
The word pogrom is the Yiddish word for “devastation” or “destruction.” What it refers to, historically, are the mob attacks that were a regular feature of life for Jews in the 19th and early 20th centuries—attacks that most often were passively or openly supported by the state.
The Canadian state has chosen to side with the Islamists for good reason.
It was the state that enabled Muslim immigration and now it has blown up in their faces.
The bureaucrats and politicians responsible for this fiasco fear having to face accountability for their heinous act of social engineering.
So they chose to double down and support these latter day Storm Troopers because they fear them more than they fear the Jews and anyone else for that matter.
In a just world they would be in shackles and they know it.
The stakes for Western alienation were raised this week when Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she would allow a question on separation to go to a referendum if it meets the requirements. While Smith made it clear she doesn’t support separation herself, she said Albertans holding such views should not be called “traitors.”
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe also hasn’t ruled out allowing a vote on separation if residents triggered legislation for a plebiscite, though he said he still hopes Saskatchewan can continue to be part of Canada.
Despite campaign promises by Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada can dodge U.S. tariffs with an “all in Canada” auto sector, a new C.D. Howe Institute report claims that the only realistic future for Canadian auto manufacturing is to make nice with the Americans.
“To maintain our manufacturing base, Canada must either exponentially expand its share of the domestic market or achieve healthy sales across the larger North American market,” reads the new report written by Stephen Beatty, the recently retired corporate secretary of Toyota Canada.
I am not hopeful.
