Many new Canadians are concerned that, under the Liberal government, Canada is increasingly heading in the direction of the suppressive countries they escaped from, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says.
Mr. Poilievre responded to a question during a March 22 Toronto press conference about immigrants escaping socialist and communist countries like China, searching for freedom in Canada but facing censorship here. He said the situation “is not an accident.”
For the third time in 18 months, a foreign head of government has made a rare visit to Canada with the stated intention of buying billions of dollars in natural gas.
And for the third consecutive time, the official answer from the Trudeau government appears to be “no.”
Trudeau is fine with Canada’s impoverishment so long as it feeds his Captain Planet fantasy.

It’s been a few years now since Canada was the moderate, sensible, dependable, and globally respected nation that it grew into during the 20th century.
What we have become instead is a country with the world’s most radical collection of social policies, that is mocked mercilessly by international media for its foolish extremism, is taunted for its unwillingness to defend itself, and no longer has any influence to speak of on the international stage. While we once had a voice that was respected, we now have one that solicits, if anything at all, condescending grins of amusement.
A new report suggests Canadians’ television viewing habits continue to shift toward streaming platforms at the expense of traditional cable and satellite subscriptions, at a time when the federal regulator is considering new rules to help level the playing field across the sector.
The annual Couch Potato Report released Monday by Convergence Research says 42 per cent of Canadian households did not have a TV subscription with a traditional provider by the end of last year. It forecasts that by the end of 2026, half of all households won’t be traditional TV watchers.
A sessional engineering lecturer is reportedly no longer teaching at the University of Guelph and the University of Waterloo after publishing a paper that argues the difficulties of dating from a male perspective with numerous sweeping claims, including that “girls” make “strange excuses for rejection” and feminism is “getting out of control,” Toronto Star reports.
During the debate on the NDP’s proposal to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state last week, Global Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said the government could not change foreign policy based on an opposition motion.
At the 11th hour, the Liberals reached a deal with the NDP to water down the proposal on Palestinian statehood to avoid a divisive public schism in their own ranks. A number of Liberal MPs had spoken in favour of the NDP motion and indicated they would vote for it.
OTTAWA—A federal election is likely more than a year away. It’s a sunny weekend afternoon, the first warmish day in well over a week. Across the city, spring recreational programs are starting up, it’s prime time for the seasonal Ottawa tradition of going to a maple syrup farm and the stores are packed with pre-Easter shoppers.
And yet, a convention centre a few minutes away from the Ottawa airport is packed to capacity with people eager to hear from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
As part of a surprise outlay of cash announced at a summit in South Korea, the Prime Minister’s Office has approved $8.4 million to study how autocracy thrives in warming temperatures.
“Today I’m announcing that Canada is investing $8.4 million on research across the global south to better understand how climate change interacts with democratic decline,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a video address to the third annual Summit on Democracy, a gathering orchestrated by the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden.
A major Canadian telecommunications company is calling upon the government for enhanced security protocols to address the growing problem of copper theft.

A military veteran who spent 20 years in uniform, Lieutenant Colonel Huajie Xu now lives on a quiet street in Winnipeg.
But he did not serve in Canada’s armed forces.
Instead, he was a member of China’s People’s Liberation Army, according to records obtained by Global News.
Before arriving in Canada in 2021, Xu worked at the military academy of the Chinese cyber warfare department that hacks Canadians and steals their secrets.
The giant Buddhas of Bamiyan were built in the fifth century. Those revered statues were blown up in 2001. Afghanistan’s Ministry of Virtue and Vice was instructed to destroy the Buddha statues “by any means available” and so they used dynamite. That destruction order spread out to hundreds of relics across the country. More than 2,700 artworks were destroyed at the National Museum.
Afghanistan’s religious leaders stated that the Buddhist objects had to be “smashed“ because they were ”contrary to Islam.“ One official explained that right-thinking Afghan people ”do not need these statues.”
Scroll back to the first week of March. In a single week, a record-setting 10,000 Ukrainians board airplanes heading to Canada to escape a brutal war that has no end in sight. And this surge of evacuees is expected to continue until the end of the month. After that; who knows.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, more than two years ago, 250,000 Ukrainians relocated to Canada under our country’s emergency visa program and an additional 700,000 Ukrainians hold similar visas due to expire on March 31.
Physicians in Ontario are sounding the alarm as new data shows more than 100 reserved for training new family doctors have gone unfilled.
Each year, medical school graduates decide what type of medicine they want to specialize in. The Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS) matches graduates with residency placements at medical schools in two rounds.
There were 108 unfilled family medicine spots out of a total of 560 in Ontario following the first round of this year’s match, up from 103 unclaimed spots last year, according to CaRMS data.
Everything is broken.
