Alberta and Ottawa strike sweeping deal to boost oil exports, scrap federal caps and push oil to Asia

Alberta and Ottawa have signed a sweeping new energy accord that Premier Danielle Smith says marks a “new starting point for nation building,” including a pledge from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government to shelve its oil and gas emissions cap, suspend clean power rules, and back a major indigenous-owned pipeline to get oil to Asian markets.

The agreement, signed Wednesday, clears the way for a privately financed, indigenous co-owned bitumen pipeline capable of moving more than one million barrels per day to a deep-water port on the Pacific coast.

Even before it’s made public, the Ottawa-Alberta deal is taking heat from all sides

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is pretty sure that backbench Liberal MPs from British Columbia are really worried.

Why? “They’ll lose their seats,” she told reporters. “And they like their seats.”

The Ottawa-Alberta memorandum of understanding that has not yet been released − to be signed Thursday by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith − is that bad for the political fortunes of Liberal MPs, Ms. May said on her way into the House of Commons on Tuesday.

Jamie Sarkonak: Foreign criminals keep getting their deportations cancelled

When he was about 22, a Jamaican national and Canadian permanent resident impregnated his 13-year-old stepsister. She said he forced himself onto her, he said he didn’t remember; you be the judge. She had a child. This happened in 2007, and in 2008 he was convicted of sexual interference and sentenced to five-and-a-half months.

Why Canadian bosses love hiring foreign workers

Douglas Todd: Low-skill guest workers toil longer hours, with fewer absences, for less pay than Canadian domestic workers, which means wages go down for everyone, says a peer-reviewed study.

Rarely a week goes by without a small or large Canadian company declaring how desperate it is to hire foreign guest workers.

The country’s “labour shortage” is brutal, they say. Business survival is impossible without willing workers from offshore, complain the owners of hotels, fast-food restaurants, security firms, supermarket chains and construction companies.

Fact: Canada’s corporate class was given license by the Liberal government to flood the nation with cheap foreign labour.

They did so without care or concern that they were destroying your economic and social well being and that of your children.

All to satisfy their greed but Elbows Up eh?

Illegal alien tries to self-deport from US to Canada ends up in jail

She Tried to Leave America. She Entered an Immigration Hall of Mirrors.

Rahel Negassi squeezed her 11-year-old son’s hand as they turned their backs on Buffalo and faced the Peace Bridge. In the distance, they saw the Canadian flag waving from the building ahead.

An ICE agent bent down to remove her ankle monitor. “Good luck!” he said. “We would love for you to stay in the United States — but legally,” she recalled him saying.

“You will never see me again,” she replied.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Did Carney really ditch Canada’s feminist foreign policy?

Is the Liberal party’s foreign policy no longer feminist? People have been asking the question all week, ever since Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday that, “We have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy. Those are different points, but related.”

He subsequently clarified that gender equality remains a priority for Canada, but that things like gender-based violence are “an issue of justice,” and that, “Different countries put a different priority on it.… But by discussing strategies and approaches, my experience is that I think that’s part of our policy, as well.”

Quebec to extend religious symbols ban, outlaw university prayer rooms in new bill

MONTREAL – The Quebec government will table a new bill this week to strengthen secularism rules in the province, including a ban on prayer rooms in colleges and universities.

The bill, to be tabled Thursday, will deliver on the government’s promises to prohibit prayer in public places, and to extend the province’s religious symbols ban to daycare workers.

It would also impose conditions for government funding of private religious schools, including that they not teach religion during classroom hours.

US State Department Directs Embassies in Canada, Other Countries to Scrutinize Impacts of Mass Immigration

The U.S. State Department has directed its Canadian embassy, as well as its other embassies in the West, to scrutinize the impacts of mass immigration.

The department sent a dispatch to U.S. embassies in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe last week directing them to report on the effects of mass immigration on public safety and human rights.

A senior State Department official speaking on background to The Canadian Press said the United States is not trying to tell other countries how to govern, but rather is cautioning them about importing people from “radically different” cultures.

PINDER: The real Carney is emerging

A deficit, disdain, and deception — unmasking the true cost of Carney’s leadership.

Our Prime Minister, a citizen of three countries, squeezed time from his many planet saving roles to return to Canada and fulfill his manifest destiny of leading the country in which he was born. Many recognized the dilemma — on one hand, a globalist propagating the fantasy of net zero — in his words — “will require a whole economy transition — every company, every bank, every insurer, and investor will have to adjust their business models.” His affinities, as Director of the World Economic Forum and several important roles with the United Nations, driven by a belief in net zero, are anathema to his “build Canada” theme.

Funny that his long held beliefs and objectives were mostly unmentioned during the leadership and general election campaigns. But he has now played his hand, and the examples abound.

Youth arrested in Ontario for posting ISIS videos, seeking firearms

The arrest occurred on Nov. 4 but was only announced on Tuesday in an RCMP news release that revealed he had been charged with two terrorism offences.

The future fighter debate

OTTAWA—For the senior brass at the Royal Canadian Air Force, there is no question whatsoever that they want the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning as the replacement for their aging fleet of CF-18 Hornet fighter planes.

They have wanted the F-35, and only the F-35, since this fifth-generation stealth strike fighter was first on the drawing board in 1997.

In 2010, Stephen Harper’s Conservative government announced a sole-source deal to purchase 65 F-35s for the Air Force at a cost of $9-billion for the aircraft, and a total program cost of $16-billion. However, as the F-35 experienced technical teething trouble, and the costs soared, Harper pushed the reset button on the entire controversial procurement.

Not sure Elbows Up TDS is the best mindset when evaluating fighter jets.

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa wants fewer cow farts, but farmers not blowing hot air

Canada’s approval of Bovaer earlier in 2024 was hailed as a climate breakthrough. The additive, designed to reduce methane emissions from dairy and beef cattle, was endorsed by Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) after extensive review. For many, it symbolized progress: a clean, simple intervention promising climate benefits without compromising productivity.

Send him back problem solved …

This Canadian immigrant says he was traumatized by five years of separation from his family. He has launched a lawsuit against the government

For more than five years, Thomas Ndayiragije could only remotely parent his children — refugees in limbo in South Africa — while he lived alone in exile in Canada.

The Burundian human rights activist had fled without his family because they did not have passports or a Canadian visa. Even after he was granted protection in Canada, Ottawa would not issue his dependants a travel document until their permanent residence application was approved.
