The government is finally willing to admit that Canada Post is at the precipice. The Crown corporation is losing over $1 billion a year and the situation is simply unsustainable.
Unfortunately, those in government don’t seem to have the willingness to embrace a truly bold solution that will solve the financial crisis facing Canada Post: Privatization.
Did anyone notice they were on strike?
A Palestinian woman in Halifax, N.S., is making an impassioned plea for Ottawa to step up efforts to get people safely out of war-torn Gaza, about 20 months after applying to bring her family to Canada under a temporary visa program.
Najlaa Alzaanin, who hasn’t seen 23 family members since moving to Canada in 2019, is still waiting for news on her bid to bring them here under the federal government’s special measures program.
“Canada is not fulfilling the promise that they made and they are not helping our families to get to a safer place,” Alzaanin said in an interview.
All 23 have somehow survived the “Genocide”. Imagine the odds!
Now thank President Trump your relatives aren’t mince meat.
Canada are you paying attention???!!! https://t.co/SkvFye3Luu

Nothing will change with “peace”.
Hamas loyalists are shutting down traffic in Montreal on a Thursday night under approval & protection of @SPVM, despite a peace deal being signed by both Hamas & Israel.
When there is peace they want war, and when there is war they want a ceasefire.

Canada will be a police state by Christmas if Parliament passes Bills C-2, C-8, and C-9 in their current form, and even more so if the federal government reintroduces the former Bill C-63.
If Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, had become law prior to the April 2025 election, it would have given new censorship powers to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, with penalties up to $50,000, plus up to $20,000 payable to complainants, for offensive but non-criminal speech. A new army of bureaucrats working for the newly created Digital Safety Commission would now be enforcing censorship regulations passed by the federal cabinet. Canadians could be punished pre-emptively with house arrest, ankle bracelets, and curfews for speech crimes they might commit in the future. The maximum penalty for speech crimes would be life imprisonment.
OTTAWA — The authors of a new book, Canada Under Siege, allege that a religious group linked to the Chinese Communist Party has been involved in a pattern of suspicious land transactions across Prince Edward Island — Canada’s smallest province, which they say is increasingly a flashpoint for questions about national security, land control, and transparency.

Poor Captain Canada. He was once our nation’s hero, but the country seems less enamoured with his shtick now that his arch enemy, U.S. President Donald Trump, has retreated back to his lair to cultivate his malevolent schemes against various foes, and not simply Canada.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford began discovering his powers at the beginning of the year, when Canada was being governed by a lame-duck prime minister and a distinct absence of leadership at the federal level. With no one to counter Mr. Trump’s threats of punishing tariffs, our hero donned his uniform – a navy “Canada Is Not For Sale Hat – and bravely made idle threats about cutting off electricity to the Americans.
Four in five Canadians surveyed believe boycotting U.S.-made goods or avoiding travel to the United States could help strengthen Canada’s bargaining position with its southern neighbour, according to a new Nanos Research survey commissioned by CTV News.
The poll found 80 per cent of Canadians think such boycotts would be “helpful or somewhat helpful” in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. Fewer than one in five respondents, or 18 per cent, said they believe it would be not helpful or somewhat not helpful.
A lot of Canadians voted for Carney as well …

OTTAWA – Influencers had the “loudest voices” online in this spring’s federal election, overtaking news outlets and politicians, says a new report.
The report from the Canadian Digital Media Research Network, co-ordinated by the McGill University and University of Toronto-led Media Ecosystem Observatory, looked at the election information environment.
Influencers were the most active in terms of frequency and volume of online posts and received the most engagement, said Aengus Bridgman, director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory.
The U.S. Congress is being asked to adopt legislation that could lead to Canada and the United States further integrating their enforcement of the border — including allowing U.S. officers to more freely operate on Canadian soil.
House Resolution 5518, introduced by New York Republican Rep. Nicholas Langworthy, calls on U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “negotiate or amend existing agreements with the Government of Canada, as appropriate, for integrated cross-border aerial, maritime and land law enforcement operations.”
The bill also calls for U.S. officers to operate in Canada, and for Canadian officers to operate in the U.S., “for the purpose of enhancing border security or law enforcement co-operation or operations, including for the purposes of conducting operations in the land, air and maritime domain.”
The Elbow people will be incensed.
It seemed like a nice meeting, albeit with few tangible results, when Mark Carney met with Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. Yet, what may come of that meeting could be a major overhaul of the Canadian economy.
Apparently, Carney talked about reviving the Keystone XL pipeline as part of his discussions with Trump. He also raised the issue of critical minerals with the American president, but there is one industry feeling left out and concerned — the auto industry.
More telling than any potential trade deals emerging from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump Tuesday in his newly designed golden Oval Office was the fact the U.S. president was in total command of the proceedings.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is dismissing any prospect of a comprehensive auto deal with Canada, according to three sources in the room when he made the comments.
Lutnick made the comments during a discussion under Chatham House Rules at the Eurasia Group’s Canada-U.S. Summit in Toronto on Wednesday, one day after the second in-person meeting in Washington between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney.
According to the sources, Lutnick said the U.S. could continue buying parts from Canada, “but that’s about it.”
This will gut jobs in Ontario, how many may remain for parts mfg and export I do not know.
Trump told the US autoworkers he would bring back production during his election campaign.
I think that’s why he threw the race to Carney. Better optics to beat up on a Liberal than a Conservative.
Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner says it’s time for Canada to end automatic citizenship for children born to temporary or undocumented residents, arguing the country’s current policy is being exploited and erodes the meaning of citizenship.
In a detailed statement, Rempel Garner said a decade of Liberal “post-national” immigration policies has flooded Canada’s system, leading to housing, healthcare, and job shortages while undermining shared Canadian values.

If you wanted to show an oblivious outsider everything that was wrong with the culture of the Supreme Court of Canada, you could start with Monday’s session-opening ceremony that marked its 150th year of existence. It was essentially one long speaking panel about the importance of tradition and democracy by people who take great joy in discarding the former and overruling the latter.
U.S. President Donald Trump did not hold back during an in-person meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney today, openly blasting the “woke” extreme transgender ideology of men in women’s sports and genital mutilation surgery of minors.
“We have no men’s and women’s sports. I mean, basic things. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child,” he told Carney in the White House.
Unreal.
Does Trump even know Mark Carney’s daughter is trans? pic.twitter.com/x4saAl6Mzz

Two events this week tell us something’s gone wrong on Canadian university campuses and streets.
On Tuesday, the University of Toronto (U of T) Students’ Union will be organizing a rally titled “Honouring Our Martyrs.” This event will commemorate the second anniversary of the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel.
