Energy-hungry India tells Carney ‘we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering’

India wants to buy any energy product it can from Canada, and its officials are urging the federal government to streamline approvals for various projects so it can tap into new supplies to feed a rapidly growing country with relatively few natural resources of its own.

That’s the message India’s high commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, relayed in an interview with CBC News before Prime Minister Mark Carney left for a five-day visit to the country.

It’s a trip that will be laser-focused on cutting new business deals and getting negotiations for a free trade agreement underway as part of a push to diversify from the American market.

Indigenous man who cleaned up after murder bragged Gladue ‘discount’ would half his sentence

An Indigenous man who bragged to an undercover cop about the Gladue “discount” that would cut his penalty in half for helping to clean up after a Calgary murder has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, even though the Crown was looking for as much as 10.

A jury convicted Jason Leo Tait of being an accessory after the fact to murder in the death of Keenan Crane. He was acquitted of manslaughter.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Canada didn’t become poorer than Alabama ‘out of nowhere’

Some Canadians clutched their pearls so hard they nearly shattered last week, after The Globe and Mail published a deep dive into how, as its online headline read, “Out of Nowhere, Canada Became Poorer Than Alabama.”

There was some debate about whether analyses showing that our GDP per capita had recently fallen behind Alabama’s is enough to declare us poorer (GDP per capita is a nation’s economic output divided by the population, and is used to determine a country’s standard of living). But the real source of righteous indignation was far more revealing: the idea that Canada’s moral and social standing is so superior that such data can’t possibly reflect reality and, even if it does, it doesn’t matter.

Canada’s global performance rankings are in freefall

There is an ongoing debate over whether Canada is doing better economically than Alabama, based on their relative GDP per capita, with many on the Canadian Left arguing that our country’s economic performance and quality of life look much better when other factors are taken into account.

Unfortunately, this argument misses the mark. When we expand our comparisons beyond Alabama, it quickly becomes apparent that GDP per capita is, if anything, overstating the relative state of our economy and wellbeing relative to our global peers.

1 in 4 Canadians in long-term care were given anti-psychotic drugs without diagnosis, report finds

One in four Canadians living in long-term care homes were prescribed anti-psychotic medication without a diagnosis of psychosis, according to a new report that highlights serious risks associated with using the powerful drugs.

The report, released on Thursday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, examines the safety and well-being of residents in long-term care homes. It found the rate of anti-psychotic medication use in long-term care homes was higher in Canada compared to several other countries, including the United States, Australia and Sweden.

Why weren’t they given MAiD?

CSIS acting to prevent possible Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. targets in Canada, former spies say

Canada’s spy service will be alert to any Iranian attempts to direct its proxies in Canada to strike U.S. targets in this country if the United States attacks Iran, according to former top spies.

Two former assistant directors of operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service told The Globe and Mail Wednesday that Canada and other Western countries’ intelligence services have been working in concert to prevent Iranian attacks in Europe and North America.

HUNTER: Woke sex trafficking silence omits culprits

It goes where Islam goes.

At present, Canada has a very difficult time being honest with itself

How the silence was manifested was spectacular.

Standing along the rows of terraced homes in ramshackle former British industrial towns was a small army of newly woke social workers and local politicians, hands on hips, glasses poised on the tip of their noses.

And there was no mistaking their politically correct message: “If you know what’s good for you and don’t want to be labelled a racist, you will NOT mention those nice Muslim men gang-raping working-class white girls.”

U.S. Defeats Authoritarian Communists On The Ice, Again

The United States didn’t just win a hockey game this weekend; it had another miracle on ice. Forty-six years ago, exactly, the U.S. men’s hockey team beat the Soviet Union and went on to win the Olympic gold medal. This victory symbolized American resolve amid a prolonged Cold War and a decades-long ideological battle against communism. Nine years later, the Berlin Wall fell, and soon afterward, the Soviet Union collapsed.

While Canada is no Soviet Union, the United States under President Trump is once again demonstrating what freedom looks like. For decades, the Western elite, which includes Canada, has been on what F.A. Hayek referred to as the “Road to Serfdom.” According to Hayek, the more control the government has over the economy, the less liberty there will be. Like our Founding Fathers, Hayek believed that the government itself posed the greatest threat to individual liberty.

Identity, Action, and the Truth About the Massacre in Tumbler Ridge

The devastating fruit of Canada’s capitulation to hyper-left-wing ideology.

On Feb. 10, 2026, Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old transgender male, attacked the community of Tumbler Ridge and its Middle School, whereupon he brutally murdered 8 people and wounded 27 others, before he subsequently divorced himself from all existence in the “deadliest school shooting since 14 women were killed in the Ecole Polytechnique massacre in Montreal.”

Hockey Loss Should Awaken Canada To Its Long-Running Anti-American Decline

In a healthy nation, Canada’s loss to the United States in the 2026 Olympic gold medal game would be only a disappointment. In Canada today, it feels like a verdict.

When a people that has systematically emptied politics, culture, and education of any serious aspiration to excellence discovers that even its last unquestioned superiority, hockey, no longer belongs to it, the sting is not merely athletic; it is spiritual. The game revealed what we have been at pains to avoid: Reality has returned, and it has no patience for our stubborn ideology.

Of course the US has its share of loons.

Experts Warn Canada Is China’s “Prototype” for Democratic Infiltration

OTTAWA — In the wake of a groundbreaking Jamestown Foundation study mapping 2,294 CCP-linked organizations across four Western democracies — and finding that Canada, with 575 such groups, has nearly five times the per-capita penetration rate of the United States — experts including a former Chinese spy who defected to Australia are warning that Canada has become Beijing’s prototype for the kind of subversion that, in CCP doctrine, precedes kinetic warfare.
