The Forever War Grift paid for with Canadian Tax Dollars.
Why should we foot the bill for a war that even Ukrainians don’t want to fight?

Canadians are about to see what Prime Minister Mark Carney is really made of now that Parliament is back.
Many voters may not have warm, fuzzy feelings about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre or think he would make a better prime minister than the Liberal leader. But Poilievre is a masterful performer in the House of Commons — well prepared, quick with a quip, skilled at thinking on his feet.
Taxpayers have been billed almost $500 million just to run the Trudeau government’s Canada Dental Care Plan, with most of the money going to administration instead of patients.
Cabinet admitted in a Commons filing that as of March 31, 2025, the program’s overhead costs totaled $472.9 million, including payments to third-party administrators.
Canada’s recognition of Palestine will be a ‘step-by-step process,’ Anita Anand says
OTTAWA—Canada will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations later this month, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says, but will hold off fully normalizing diplomatic relations until there is real democratic progress from the Palestinian Authority.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada’s intention to recognize a Palestinian state in July, on the conditions that the Palestinian Authority commit to governance reforms, hold general elections in 2026 and demilitarize. He also said Hamas cannot be part of any future Palestinian government.
The Palestinian Authority, which controls the government in the West Bank, has promised elections but no dates have been set, and it has not yet met any of the other conditions.
Heartening to see the adults in the room are easing into their embrace of a murder cult.
People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier has criticized the appointment of Chrystia Freeland as Canada’s new Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, arguing that Ottawa has already spent too much supporting the war-torn country.
In a post on X, Bernier claimed that Canada has committed $22 billion to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, alleging that such funding has “unnecessarily prolonged the war” and “destroyed Ukraine.”
Ukraine has a corruption problem and forever wars are grifter nirvana. Look no further than Afghanistan.
When your fighting age men flee the country in droves it’s time to seek peace.
I fully expect to see Zelensky bugging out via helicopter one day with Freeland clinging to the struts.
OTTAWA—The Ontario Provincial Police is refusing to participate in the Carney government’s upcoming gun buyback program, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said Wednesday, as he vowed the federal government will still have a “robust” ability to collect banned weapons in the province.
The OPP’s refusal comes after months of negotiations and throws a wrench in Ottawa’s plans, with the provincial force responsible for more than a quarter of the policing in Ontario. It means the federal government will have to reach agreements with municipal police forces such as Toronto Police, Peel Police and others, while finding a solution to cover areas without a local force.
Has the OPP made any additional progress on the Sikh Shooter file? I know they arrested the genius who filmed his own vehicle but since then?
Mactier Ontario:
Punjabi Sikhs show no respect for Canadian firearms laws, fellow land users, and the environment.

Monday’s first session of Question Period opened with Prime Minister Mark Carney and Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre displaying common courtesy toward each other, and a bit of humour from Poilievre, who, after thanking the constituents of his new riding, Battle River-Crowfoot, also thanked Carney for calling a prompt byelection, playfully quipping, “I wonder if one day he might regret that decision.”
The release of the Canadian military’s review of the F-35 fighter jet is expected shortly but the U.S. has already signalled this country could face serious consequences if the Liberal government decides not to proceed with the arms deal.
Defence Minister David McGuinty has committed to the public release of the review which will come by the end of the summer.
Chrystia Freeland’s exit from cabinet, while not expected, is no great surprise.
The job of transport minister is unglamorous, dominated by regulation of railway rolling stock and of passenger bills of rights. The minister’s path is potholed with potentially career-limiting port, railway or airline strikes.
Former Conservative transport minister John Crosbie expressed his frustration in 1986 when he said no one understands how air fares work. “Why I should be expected to understand them is beyond me,” he said.
For someone with Freeland’s vaulting ambition, being parked in the backwater of transport, albeit with the additional nominal responsibility for internal trade, must have felt like those aspirations were being thwarted.
“Elbows Up,” a hockey phrase, became the campaign rallying cry of Canada’s Liberal Party this spring, whipping up a swell of patriotism in the face of President Trump’s menacing posture toward America’s neighbor.
In April, the sentiment lifted Mark Carney, a prominent economist but neophyte politician, to one of the most stunning electoral victories in Canada’s history. He promised to fight back against American tariffs and stand up for Canadian sovereignty.
But, after just a few months on the job, Mr. Carney is facing early signs of trouble as he discovers that being elected on an anti-Trump message does not mean you can govern on one, too.
The pivot to Charlie Kirk derangement is not working and the elbow people are adrift.
The KGB once lauded Chrystia Freeland as someone who was “inventive” in achieving her goals.
The ex-Soviet spy agency’s insightful analysis is in need of an update to include the fact that she never achieved her ultimate goal of becoming prime minister despite an artful public letter that slipped a stiletto between the shoulder blades of Justin Trudeau.
She was an accomplice not a victim and deserves no praise.
She wanted to succeed Junior as leader.
In pursuing that wish dream she robbed Canada of a unifying moment.
Voting the Trudeau gov’t out of office was what virtually all Canadians dreamed of.
More than 10,000 young Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 22 crossed into Poland within a week after Kyiv relaxed border restrictions, Polish authorities said, in a surge that has raised fresh questions over public support for the war against Russia.
This represents a tenfold increase and reflects concerns among Ukrainians about forced conscription as fighting with Russia drags on. Families have been encouraging sons to leave the country, fearing forced conscription into an army stretched thin across a largely static front line.
No worries Chrystia is on the way! – Chrystia Freeland resigns from cabinet, appointed as special envoy to Ukraine
OTTAWA — Chrystia Freeland is quitting Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet and taking on a new role as Canada’s special envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Was this appointment Freeland’s payment for the China Ferries Grift?
Canada’s immigration policy is still moving in the “wrong” direction and needs a course correction to achieve long-term prosperity instead of short-term labour market solutions, says a new report by C.D. Howe Institute.
The Liberal government will table the federal budget — the first under Prime Minister Mark Carney — in early November.
During Tuesday’s question period, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the federal finances will be introduced on Nov. 4.
The early November date is later than the government had initially indicated. Carney said as early as May that the budget would come in October, and a number of ministers had stuck to that date when talking about the budget in recent days.
