Beijing’s Hidden Army: How 2,294 United Front Cells Advance China’s Interests in Four Leading Democracies

WASHINGTON/OTTAWA – A groundbreaking study has mapped 2,294 organizations with proven links to the Chinese Communist Party’s “united front” influence apparatus across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany—with Canada exhibiting nearly five times the per-capita penetration rate of the U.S. and the highest density of CCP-linked organizations among all four democracies.

Geoff Russ: Do not try to humanize the Tumbler Ridge shooter

Tumbler Ridge will never be the same.

As a small town of less than 2500 people, places like the local high school are a daily gathering place for a community in which everyone knows each other. Both teachers and parents can see the future on the faces of their students and children.

What are Canada’s gun ownership laws?

A deadly mass shooting at a school in British Columbia is likely to increase scrutiny of whether Canada’s gun laws should be toughened to prevent further attacks.

Nine people were killed and another 25 injured in the attack at Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday, in a remote part of the country that’s about 415 miles (667km) north of Vancouver. The suspect was also found dead with a self-inflicted injury, authorities said.

Currently, gun ownership in the Canadian provinces is largely federally regulated by the government in Ottawa, and there are stricter laws in place than in most US states.

Poor child.

Canada’s Mark Carney Can’t Even Challenge American Hegemony Without American Help

Sometimes a punchline arrives a few weeks after the joke.

A little less than three weeks ago, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the globalist media swoon by standing on a stage in Davos and declaring the sudden new limits of American power. For years, Carney said, American hegemony was a stabilizing force in the world, so other countries tolerated America’s many failures to live up to its declared ideals — in Carney’s words, “the gaps between rhetoric and reality.”

Germany’s Decline Is a Warning Canada Should Heed Now

The results of Germany’s energy and immigration failures have been rising costs, falling competitiveness, social disorder, and political backlash.

Germany was postwar Europe’s greatest economic success story. Today it is a cautionary tale. Once the continent’s industrial engine, Germany has spent the past decade dismantling the foundations of its prosperity through energy and immigration policies driven more by ideology than evidence or good sense. The results have been rising costs, falling competitiveness, social disorder, and political backlash.

Canada should study this record closely—because we are pursuing many of the same policies.

An era of ‘wrecking ball’ politics: What the Munich Security Report says about Canada’s moment of reckoning

Almost every foreign diplomat you run across lately simply gushes about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos speech, and how his remarks about middle powers banding together went viral in Europe.

As much as the speech represented a wake-up call for Canada and its allies, a new report that sets up the annual Munich Security Conference extends and sharpens Carney’s argument and delivers a series of stark warnings.

One of them is fairly straightforward — if not somewhat uncomfortable — for Canadians.

Where allies are concerned, it’s not enough to just show up. You’ve got to bring something useful.

Breakdown of ISIS detention centres in Syria poses serious threat to Canada

The rapid changes sweeping northeastern Syria have produced a troubling result: the escape of hardened Islamic State (ISIS) fighters from detention facilities previously secured by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This development, unfolding amid a fragile ceasefire, poses a serious security threat, including to Canada.

‘Get their act together’: Freeland on U.S. relationship with others on world stage

Former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland says when it comes to the U.S. and its relationships with other countries on the world stage, it needs to “get their act together.”

Since his 2025 inauguration, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened several countries, including Canada, with annexation and tariffs on goods, creating an ongoing trade war.

Freeland, fresh off her January resignation as a member of Parliament, appeared Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Freeland resigned after being appointed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as an adviser on economic development for Ukraine.

Even Full-Time Workers Struggle to Afford Food in Canada: Study

A quarter of Canadian families are facing food insecurity even when most have a breadwinner working a permanent, full-time job, new research suggests.

Researchers from the University of Toronto’s food insecurity research program analyzed Statistics Canada income data to better understand how Canadians’ jobs affect their access to food.

Their study, published last December in the journal Canadian Public Policy, found that the main earner in two-thirds of all households experiencing food insecurity held a permanent, full-time job.

Divisive identity politics risk fragmenting Canada further

Canada finds itself listing in stormy waters, split between several solitudes. We are no longer just divided between French and English. Now we are torn along national identity, media ecosystems, class, and basic beliefs about Canadian values and culture. It is doubtful that Canada will be able to remain a unified country if we continue under an incompetent skipper, Mr. Carney, at the helm.

The heartbreak is that Canada, our beloved Canada, has enormous potential. Tragically, however, we have been governed for years by people who, whether for personal gain or due to ineptitude, failed to do the hard work of nation‑building. Instead, they fueled the destruction of our national identity and values, and the degradation of our economy.

BURTON: Canada and the perils of denialism — are Canadians prepared for the fallout?

Canada is not in crisis because it is under siege from hostile foreign powers. Nor is it a victim of some unavoidable global conspiracy or historical inevitability. Canada’s predicament is far more unsettling as it is largely self‑inflicted. The country is struggling because too many of its leaders — and too many citizens — are trapped in an acute and dangerous form of denialism about the nation’s vulnerabilities, its declining institutional capacity, and the cumulative consequences of decades of misguided political, economic, and social decisions.

Canada is no stranger to separatism but push for Alberta to join US is a new peril

While Quebec parties have long sought independence, the secret meetings by unelected Albertans with US officials have been branded treasonous by some

A separatist push for a referendum on independence from Canada. Meetings with foreign officials perceived to be sympathetic to their cause. Accusations of treason and sedition.

Ahead of a 1995 referendum, leaders of Quebec’s independence movement made a string of provocative overtures to foreign governments, including a trip by the province’s premier to France. In a move that outraged anglophone Canada, the mayor of Paris gave Quebec’s Jacques Parizeau a welcome befitting a national leader.
