Canada’s federal employment department disciplined hundreds of workers last year for misconduct ranging from chronic absenteeism to fraud and theft, newly released records show, as Ottawa attempts to counter growing public skepticism about accountability in government.
Blacklock’s Reporter says according to the Department of Employment’s annual disclosure report, 629 employees were disciplined in 2024 for breaching the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector.
Canada’s Liberal government is pushing through sweeping new legislation targeting refugees that observers fear will usher in a new era of US-style border policies, fueling xenophobia and the scapegoating of immigrants.
Bill C-12, or Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, includes many changes around border security along with new ineligibility rules for refugee claimants.
It was fast-tracked and passed through a third reading in the House of Commons on 11 December before members of parliament rose for the holidays. If it receives Senate approval in February, the bill will become law.
The Ottawa-Alberta memorandum of understanding links approval of a pipeline to B.C.’s coast with the $16.5 billion Pathways Alliance carbon capture project, for which industry players are counting on significant government support. While the sum may seem substantial, it represents just a fraction of the vast pool of Canadian taxpayer funds being directed by all levels of government to net-zero-emissions-related initiatives across the country.
These funds include billions in domestic policies as well as a $5.3 billion “international climate finance commitment” that Ottawa announced in 2021 for multi-year funding dedicated to helping developing countries “combat climate change.”
In 2024 alone, federal spending on environmental protection increased by 35.6 percent to reach $24 billion, a significant chunk of which is earmarked for emissions reduction.
I recommend a strong Egg Nog.
Christmas came early this year. Pakistani Catholic Michael D’Souza and his eldest daughter Rochelle — who have suffered two decades of religious persecution and mistreatment from Muslim extremists, corrupt immigration authorities, and predatory human traffickers — arrived safely at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Dec. 10. With the White House and corporate media giving persecuted religious minorities across the world an unprecedented degree of attention, I’m grateful to be able to share this exciting story of answered prayers, which also offers lessons about the continued reality of global persecution of Christians, as well as legal (and illegal) immigration.
OTTAWA — For The Bureau’s 2025 Holiday Special, I sat down once again with Jason James for a long-form, two-hour conversation—our second holiday edition—to answer his questions about the elite networks surrounding Prime Minister Mark Carney and the China connections that have quietly defined his ascent.
During Canada’s first century, Christianity had a significant place in Canadian society and government. There were several explicitly Christian laws and policies, including prayer and Bible reading in many public schools.
Christianity’s role in Canadian public life is now essentially gone. The main reason for this change was the adoption of Pierre Trudeau’s Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.
OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is affirming Greenland’s sovereignty as Washington again says it wants to annex the self-governing territory of Denmark.
Anand spoke Tuesday with her Danish counterpart Lars Lokke Rasmussen and says she conveyed “Canada’s support for the fundamental importance of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

The racial reckoning of the COVID era saw Canada grapple with its checkered past — a process that led to statues of some foundational figures being removed, in some instances by force.
Five years on, there’s a growing movement to restore some of what was taken down in that tumultuous period. The campaign, led by politicians past and present, historians and members of the public, is focused on bringing back some of those monuments, in particular ones of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, which have all but disappeared from public spaces.
All his desecrated statues should be repaired and restored to their rightful places and to hell with the race baiting scum.
Are our values being so warped in the name of accommodation and diversity that we can no longer stand up for what is right?
Osman Azizov is out on bail, National Post has confirmed with police . Azizov is only 18 but he is one of three men charged with 79 offences , including kidnapping, conspiracy to commit sexual assault and hostage taking. They are accused of plotting to terrorize Jews and kidnap young women, according to the charges from Toronto police, following investigation by the RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Team. The alleged leader, Waleed Khan, has been linked to ISIS.
Despite recent attacks and escalating risks, Islamist extremism is largely absent from Carney’s national security agenda
Last Friday, three men were arrested in Toronto and charged with hate-motivated extremism targeting women and members of the Jewish community. One of them, 26-year-old Waleed Khan, also faces terrorism charges linked to ISIS, an exceptionally violent Sunni jihadist group also known as the Islamic State. According to the RCMP, Khan allegedly conspired with “persons known and unknown” in Toronto and elsewhere in Ontario to commit murder — a chilling indication that other extremist elements could be involved. It is the third ISIS-related arrest in Canada this year, following earlier cases in Montreal and Newmarket, bringing the total number of arrested suspects linked to the group since 2023 to 23.
Canadians are hurting this Christmas season. The London-based PwC reports findings from a mid-year survey that Canadians, in general, were planning to spend significantly less overall than last year on holidays. Gen Z, in particular, expects to cut holiday spending by 35%. Additionally, 45% of Canadians said they plan to shop more for used, upcycled, or resale items.

The number of medical assistance in dying cases in Canada has increased by 7% from 2023 to 2024.
When comparing the 2022 and 2024 numbers, MAID deaths increased by 24%.
But where are these MAID deaths concentrated?

Activists in Canada and elsewhere who want to “globalize the intifada” are effectively calling for the murder of Jews. There should be no doubt this is what the phrase means for many of those who would put it into action. To naively — or cynically — argue otherwise is to wilfully ignore reality and risk Canadian lives.
Good luck getting the law to accept that.
Osman Azizov is out on bail. It cannot be, and yet, apparently, it is. Among the 14 charges against the 18-year-old Toronto man, and two alleged accomplices, are sexual assault with a weapon, attempted kidnapping, impersonating a police officer and unauthorized possession of at least one firearm.
It’s a close race, but the kidnapping allegations are perhaps the most disturbing — because who knows what might have been in store for the victims afterwards?
A Toronto judge has granted bail to a former Ontario defence lawyer who American authorities say advised fugitive and drug kingpin Ryan Wedding to murder a federal witness.
Superior Court Justice Michael Bawden accepted Deepak Paradkar’s application for bail in a downtown Toronto courtroom on Tuesday, following a three-day hearing held earlier this month.
