The federal government has dropped a new guide that, according to critics, deems it “racist” to criticize Palestinian advocacy or extremism.
The guide also defines both “sharia” and “jihad” as benign terms that are misrepresented by Westerners, with sharia defined as a means “to establish justice and peace in society.”
It’s contained in “The Canadian Guide to Understanding and Combatting Islamophobia,” a document published last week by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
As Canadians’ concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump rise, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative polling advantage appears to have evaporated, with the Liberals now just one point behind according to the latest Nanos numbers.
In new weekly tracking released Tuesday, the Conservatives are at 36 per cent support, the Liberals – now under the leadership of Mark Carney – have risen to 35 per cent support, and the NDP are at 15 per cent.
I literally just got out of the field in Ontario with 3000 completed surveys.
THREE THOUSAND, 25 MINUTE SURVEYS…
I have the CPC ahead of the LPC, not, *** Checks Frank’s post again***, NOT 22-points behind.

President Donald Trump knows better than to treat the “honeymoon” a president gets in his first months of office as a time to relax. He’s fighting as hard now as he did at the height of last year’s campaign.
He’s even started what critics call a trade war.
U.S. President Donald Trump fired new shots in the tariff war on Tuesday, vowing on social media to put an end to Canada’s auto industry amid a chaotic volley of trade threats that sent stock markets lower.
Mr. Trump has said a key goal of his protectionist trade policy is to persuade foreign manufacturers, especially automakers, to shift production to the United States. The President’s language has become increasingly menacing in recent weeks, turning outright hostile to the Canadian auto industry on Tuesday, after Ontario Premier Doug Ford briefly imposed a surcharge on electricity exports to the United States.
Wouldn’t it be great to have an all Canadian ICE 4WD that was robust and easy to maintain unhindered by chips or ludicrous government net-zero limitations etc …
‘Why don’t I become a circus clown?” That was Mark Carney’s sensible reply when asked in 2012 about ambitions to enter Canadian politics. On Sunday he was elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, soon to be sworn in as Prime Minister. Welcome to the circus.
Mr. Carney, a central banker who became a global face of “net-zero” and “ESG” environmental schemes, won 86% of the Liberal leadership vote. His big advantage: He was off in England, or globe-trotting as a United Nations climate envoy, or working for large U.S. firms rather than serving as a minister in Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government (2015-25).
The federal government announced a plan on Wednesday to slap tariffs on $29.8 billion worth of American goods to hit back against U.S. President Donald Trump after he imposed punishing tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum early this morning.
Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, the government’s point person on Canada-U.S. relations, said Trump’s attack on Canadian industry is “unjustified and unjustifiable” and the government must hit back as the U.S. inserts “disruption and disorder” into what was once one of the most successful trading relationships in the world.
President says charges on Canadian steel and aluminium will go ahead on Wednesday, and that Canada should consider becoming ‘our cherished 51st state’
President Trump dismissed the chaos his tariffs have unleashed on stock markets as a price worth paying to “rebuild our country” after another turbulent day fuelled by his on-off trade war with Canada.
The Canadian province of Ontario suspended its reprisal duties on electricity bound for several US states after Trump announced he would double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium from midnight.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Canadian man has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for shootings at an oil pipeline in South Dakota and an electrical substation in North Dakota that caused $1.7 million in damages after a judge found that his crimes met the definition of terrorism.
Cameron Smith, 50, was also ordered Monday to pay more than $2.1 million in restitution, the Bismarck Tribune reported, as well as fines totaling $250,000. He faces deportation after his release.
Environmentalist.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the “removal” of a convicted Canadian drug trafficker, who was caught transporting more than 125 lbs of cocaine across the country in 2022.
The government agency said Tuesday that Christopher Anthony Frater, 32, was returned to Canadian authorities last week after he was convicted of a drug-related charge in 2023.
In the past few months, I have not been alone in suggesting that the people responsible for reporting on President Donald Trump’s tariff threats should read his book about negotiation. If they merely read the second chapter of ‘Art of the Deal,’ there would be a lot less amazement, and a little more confident commentary.
Now that Mark Carney has become the Liberal offering to lead Canada, does he have any books of his own to offer as a window on what he really thinks, that might matter to us, but didn’t come up in a leadership campaign during which little of him was revealed anyway?
Dawn O’Leary misses Diet Coke the most. Her favourite pop is among the list of American goods and services she gave up even before U.S. President Donald Trump flip-flopped on his tariff threat last week. The 71-year-old has sold her U.S. stocks and dumped Netflix. She doesn’t only buy Canadian – she also refuses to purchase any product that’s made in Canada for a U.S. company.
“Unfortunately, I have to do the research for that on Google,” says Ms. O’Leary, the owner of Dragonluck Kennels in Stittsville, Ont., on feeling forced to use the American search engine. “I am not happy about that.”
The Government of Canada in efforts to “combat Islamophobia” is attempting to convince Canadians the term “jihad” doesn’t mean “war against non-Muslims.”
It’s controversial contents are published in a lengthy document entitled The Canadian Guide to Understanding and Combatting Islamophobia: For a more inclusive Canada.
One of the fundamental goals of Islam is to obliterate all non-Muslims, especially Jews, and permanently take over Israeli territory.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Jan. 6 that he would resign once the Liberal Party of Canada had concluded a leadership race. As of Sunday, March 9, the race has concluded, and the new leader of the party is Mark Carney.
As of March 10, 2025, Carney has not yet officially become the prime minister of Canada but has been elected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, making him the prime minister-designate.
How many weeks, or months, will the prime minister-designate, Mark Carney, be facing off with U.S. President Donald Trump in our current trade war? And how much damage could Carney do to Canada during this time? Does he know how to handle the whims of Trump’s ego-driven relationships with world leaders?
An Ontario town is considering bringing a statue of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald back out of storage after it was defaced in 2020 amid a heated debate over the legacy of Canada’s first prime minister.
