How, and at what cost, could Canada catch up to Poland’s defence spending?

There was a particularly striking moment last week in Warsaw as Prime Minister Mark Carney renewed his friendship with Poland’s Donald Tusk, a flash that subtly captured the stark choices Canada will likely face in the not-too-distant future.

Carney was genuine in his praise of the eastern European country’s wholehearted, enthusiastic embrace of NATO and the Western alliance’s defence spending targets.

“We learn much from the prime minister, from his government, including the importance of pulling our full weight in NATO,” Carney said.

How to catch up? We can ask Poland to annex us!

GOLDSTEIN: Liberals’ response to antisemitism has been mealy-mouthed and dismal

Since Canada’s ostensible support for the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism has become a farce, Prime Minister Mark Carney should be honest with Canadians and formally withdraw Canada’s endorsement of the document.

He can do it when he recognizes the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly next month, so that it will be clear to Canada’s 400,000 Jews where his government actually stands on the issue of protecting them from unprecedented hate and antisemitic violence.

How will we decide if Mark Carney is winning?

What, exactly, did the people of Canada elect Mark Carney to accomplish?

I think this is a question worth serious consideration as we round in on the prime minister’s first 100 days (or so) in office, and as he’s demonstrated that “elbows up” seems to consist of — rescinding taxes and counter-tariffs that have irked Donald Trump. Carney came to power on an understanding that he would assert Canada’s rights, and even dignity. He inherited an electorate entirely willing to suffer some economic pain in order to do so. And he came to his position with a general understanding that sometimes you have to punch a bully in the nose just to make a point — even if that bully is bigger, stronger and richer than you.

Those that voted for Carney did so to satisfy their smug anti-Americanism and through a tremendous feat of self induced amnesia bought the LPC grift hook, line and sinker.

The rest of us knew “Elbows Up” was an empty slogan and the LPC was and remains as corrupt as ever.

GUNTER: Enough with massive overspending at the CBC

As if there were any doubt of the ultra-cozy relationship between the federal Liberals and their in-house broadcaster, the CBC, it was reinforcced Friday morning.

Justin Trudeau offered to save migrants from Trump; 8 years later Canadians are still paying the price

Although officially ‘closed,’ the Roxham Road border crossing is bustling, thanks to human traffickers.

On January 28, 2017, in the immediate aftermath of President Trump’s first travel ban, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent out a tweet that would reverberate far beyond social media:

To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength. #WelcomeToCanada.”

Migrants and asylum-seekers in the United States took Trudeau at his word, and within weeks, illegal crossings over the Quebec-New York border surged, centered on a rural stretch known as Roxham Road.

Inspectors admit Canadians losing jobs to black market in migrant permits

Canadians are losing jobs and wages to a black market in migrant worker permits, federal inspectors have confirmed, admitting abuse is widespread and tied to illegal recruitment schemes.

A June 18 labour department briefing note said permits are being bought and sold while vulnerable foreign workers are exploited for profit. Officials warned the scheme involves “a range of players both domestically and internationally.”

Conrad Black: A fragile federation awaits Carney’s green assault

Prime Minister Mark Carney is enjoying a honeymoon in the polls, as all incoming leaders deserve. Less comprehensible are the celebrations that are quite audibly in progress about all that he is accomplishing. I have even seen adulatory references to his “first hundred days,” and favourable comparisons with the beginning of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 when he saved the collapsed financial system and reopened the banks and stock and commodity exchanges and set up the workfare programs that provided public works and conservation jobs for the 30 per cent of the population that was without work and received no federal assistance. Obviously, we do not have a similar state of urgency in Canada today. Nor do we have a government that as far as I can see has actually done anything except announce one or two good personnel appointments and proclaim a readiness in principle to expedite some large unspecified projects.

LILLEY: As Canada’s economy falters, we need action, not words from Carney

As news broke Friday morning that Canada’s economy was shrinking, perhaps headed for a recession, Mark Carney was boasting about the speed he was working at. Carney announced on social media that his government was creating the Major Projects Office and that it would be based out of Calgary.

Liberals delay release of secret CBC funding memo until after next budget

Canadians won’t see what cabinet is planning for a massive new CBC subsidy until after the next federal budget, as the Department of Canadian Heritage has pushed back disclosure of a key funding memo by five months.

The document, titled Elements Of A Renewed Approach To Strengthen Canada’s National Public Broadcaster, was prepared for Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault and dated May 30, just weeks after Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to boost the CBC’s $1.4 billion annual subsidy if Liberals were re-elected.

Mark Carney’s aspirations in Europe come with some hard truths

It’s a plot fit for a hit coming-of-age television series with a political twist, one featuring a relationship triangle with Prime Minister Mark Carney hopelessly caught between Donald Trump’s United States and the leaders of Europe.

With apologies to the Amazon Prime hit series — and those Canadians who have dutifully cancelled their American streaming subscriptions — call it, “The Summer Canada Turned Pretty.”

But with the nights turning cool and the kids headed back to school, there are no spoilers here.

I suspect Carney’s tenure at the Bank of England has rendered him suspect among his hoped for Euro allies.

LILLEY: Our asylum system is being abused and needs to change fast

If all of the people waiting for their asylum claim to be heard right now were gathered in one place, they would form a city bigger than Kitchener, Regina or Burnaby. It’s just another example of the mess the Liberals have created with our once well-functioning and well-respected immigration and refugee system.

There’s nothing broken about it.

The LPC and their cronies see it as just another stream in their mass immigration scam.

PBO report shows ballooning bureaucracy costs as Carney urged to cut spending

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to slash the size of the federal bureaucracy after a new Parliamentary Budget Officer report projected government labour costs will continue to surge.

“Taxpayers already pay too much for the bloated federal bureaucracy and this report shows those costs will continue to balloon unless the government finally cuts spending,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director.

Carney government has two duties to younger Canadians, and one is to offer real hope

TORONTO—The Carney government has big plans for a new and, it says, a more prosperous Canadian economy—but much of what it hopes to accomplish will take years before we see a material difference. In the meantime, support for big change may whither unless immediate threats are not addressed.

Two big challenges require careful monitoring. One is the rise of unemployment and the fall in opportunities for younger Canadians. The other is the huge volume of household mortgages that must be renewed this year or next, with higher interest rates and hence higher repayment levels, and at a time when the economy faces the prospect of higher unemployment and weaker wage gains to offset higher mortgage payments. Young home-owners who were first-time buyers at the height of the real estate bubble when mortgage rates were especially low are also especially vulnerable.

Carney won’t do squat. Mass immigration will leave us all impoverished and that’s what he and his cronies want – easy pickings.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney’s Liberals say Trudeau’s Liberals were incompetent

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is spending as much time attacking the previous Justin Trudeau Liberal government as it does criticizing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.

The latest example occurred this week when Energy and Resources Minister Tim Hodgson censured the Trudeau government for failing to pursue policies facilitating the sale of Canada’s vast natural gas resources to European markets during its decade in power.

David Oliver: Mark Carney’s European submarine hunt

Mark Carney’s visit Tuesday to the shipyard of ThyseenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) in Kiel Germany, confirmed it and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean Co. as the two leading bidders to fulfil the requirement of 12 submarines under Canada’s Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).

Carney’s visit to Ukraine, Poland and Germany comes as Canada seeks to signal its intent to rebuild an atrophied set or defence assets and defence industrial base. It also signals Canada’s desire for strategic autonomy from the U.S. as it builds hard and soft power links with other western allies.
