A new report from the charity Food Banks Canada says food insecurity continues to climb, but new government programs could ease financial strain.
The organization’s 2025 “Poverty Report Card” gives Canada a failing grade on food insecurity and unemployment, but a slightly more palatable “C” for legislative progress, making the overall mark a “D”.
Longtime Liberal cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland is stepping down from cabinet, sources tell CBC News.
Those sources, who spoke on the condition they not be named, said the Transport minister is taking up an envoy role related to Ukraine.
It’s a cliché in Canadian politics to say the Liberals campaign from the left and govern from the right. But the growing discrepancies between what Mark Carney said during the election and how he’s handling things six months into his prime ministership are leaving more and more progressive swing voters scratching their heads.
Sure, most Canadians assumed Carney would be to the right of his predecessor. He’s a blue Liberal. He hangs out in corporate board rooms. He looks like the epitome of the one per cent.
Ottawa’s Strong Borders Act has been sold as a bill to strengthen the border and keep Canadians safe, but experts say a hidden — and crucial — objective is to slash ballooning immigration backlogs and processing times.
In tabling Bill C-2 in June, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree scratched the surface of why immigration officials needed the powers to “cancel, suspend or vary” immigration documents and processing of new applications “en masse for reasons determined to be in the public interest.”
Great idea but I’ll believe it when I see results.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is warning Prime Minister Mark Carney that relying on attrition to reduce the federal workforce is not enough and is demanding immediate cuts to the size of the bureaucracy.
“After adding about 100,000 bureaucrats in a decade, attrition doesn’t go nearly far enough,” said Franco Terrazzano, the CTF’s federal director.
Carney lied?!!?? I never would have bet on it!
OTTAWA — In 2017, Brookfield, the investment giant that would later launch Prime Minister Mark Carney’s global business and political reach, bought control of Teekay Offshore Partners — a shipping deal that now casts a long geopolitical shadow.
On the surface, it looked like just another Brookfield deal. But behind it lies a complicated backstory, one that deepens concerns about the global-security risks lurking beneath Carney’s sprawling portfolio of more than 550 corporate holdings.
Though involvement has diminished in recent decades, Canada has traditionally portrayed itself and operated as a peacekeeping nation since the Second World War.
Whether due to the Canadian Forces’ efforts in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, or even going back to Lester B. Pearson’s instrumental and Nobel Peace Prize-winning role in de-escalating the 1956 Suez Crisis, the peacekeeper role became a core component of Canadians’ self-image.
I don’t expect much by way of civic mindedness, patriotism or empathy from a generation of young people whose dreams have been crushed by the evil actions of Canada’s Liberal government and our Corporate Welfare parasites: Think runaway immigration is being fixed? Think again: Full Comment podcast
PPC leader Maxime Bernier has called for US Secretary of Transportation to talk to Doug Ford and Christya Freeland about how drivers from Punjab are “taking over” the Canadian trucking industry.
“US secretary of transportation @SecDuffy should ask @fordnation and @cafreeland about the takeover of the Canadian trucking industry by reckless drivers from Punjab. This is a threat to road safety on both sides of the border. How many Canadians and Americans have to die before we put an end to it?” Bernier tweeted on Sunday.
As Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland was in the House of Commons distancing Ottawa from BC Ferries’ plan to buy four new ships from a Chinese state-owned shipyard, senior Liberal advisers were debating how to manage a looming announcement that there was in fact a connection.
Canada Infrastructure Bank, a federal Crown corporation, had provided $1-billion in financing for the purchase.
The Globe and Mail has obtained internal e-mails involving senior Liberal political aides, including one sent at 2:17 p.m. on June 18 just as the daily Question Period was about to start.
She’s only a little corrupt. I wonder what her cut was? What was Carney’s take?

Will be big in the Punjab they say.
When your puppy makes a mess on the carpet, you don’t sit around for 60 days consulting. It’s a rapid reaction situation.
Remove the “deposit.” Apply soapy water. Move on and play fetch.
There are parallels between politics and puppies.
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau left a huge mess for Prime Minister Mark Carney to clean up.
A trade war with its largest economic partner, a faltering economy – and a lot of promises to deliver on.
These are only some of the high-stake tests facing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as parliament returns for the autumn sitting on Monday.
Here is a look at some of the political pressures on his Liberal government’s horizon.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Sunday afternoon the launch of Build Canada Homes, the federal government’s new agency that will oversee federal housing programs.
The agency was part of the Liberals’ election promise to double housing construction.
The government is touting Build Canada Homes as a centralized agency to oversee new affordable housing programs initiated at the federal level.
Whether he’s pressuring Ukraine for backpay or speculating about Greenland’s riches, when Donald Trump mentions critical minerals, he’s ultimately concerned with one thing and one thing only: defence.
According to the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) definition of a “critical mineral,” that makes perfect sense. In concert with the USGS, the US government is clearly focused on how vulnerable supply chains of critical minerals affect their national security.
