Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a scathing critique of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government on Tuesday, accusing the Liberals of worsening Canada’s housing crisis, driving away investment, and failing to address rising crime across the country.
Speaking in Surrey, BC, Poilievre argued that life has become “increasingly expensive, increasingly dangerous, and less pleasant” since Carney took office, arguing that the Prime Minister has doubled down on failed Liberal policies.
When globalism was hot, then-prime minister Justin Trudeau tried to be hotter by deciding that Canada has “no core identity, no mainstream,” and suggesting Canada had become a “post-national state.” Now that nationalism is back in vogue, Prime Minister Mark Carney, unwilling or unable to counter U.S. President Donald Trump’s taunts and tariff barrage, has become an odd recipient of Canada’s quest for a U.S.-like national identity. Even as he rails against America’s temperamental chief executive, he has shown little interest in curbing his country’s own protectionist policies.
Young people are struggling in the labour market for two main reasons: high immigration and high minimum wages
Young people have borne the brunt of the recent deterioration in Canada’s labour market. Youth unemployment usually runs at about twice the rate for adults, reflecting young workers’ lower productivity and inexperience at searching for a job. But now it’s nearly three times the rate for adults, which puts it at “crisis levels” according to some commentators.
The likely cause of this crisis? Government programs that have raised the minimum wage and sharply increased the supply of low-skilled foreign workers.
Our Titans of Industry, our so called “Business leaders” demanded and received more cheap foreign labour than was ever needed with no questions asked from the Liberal government.
They sold us out, all of us.
Pierre Poilievre says Mark Carney has fallen short on defending Canadian interests on the global stage because the Prime Minister is not effectively dealing with the United States and China.
Mr. Poilievre, the federal Conservative Leader, made the comments Wednesday during his first news conference since a by-election victory in Alberta this week that will allow him to return to the House of Commons as a member of Parliament.
Canada’s union leaders want the Liberals to stop using a contentious piece of the country’s labour code and are prepared to back Air Canada’s flight attendants in their illegal strike to draw a “line in the concrete’” with the Carney government.
A tentative deal was reached early Tuesday between Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), but not before the federal government had invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to force flight attendants back to work. That section allows the jobs minister to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order parties into arbitration or end strikes to “secure industrial peace.” The Liberal government has used it eight times since 2024 to end strikes or lockouts, including work stoppages at railways and port strikes.
On June 16, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney surprised all of North America by releasing an official statement declaring that he and Trump had “agreed to pursue negotiations toward a deal within the coming 30 days.”
He raised expectations to beat Trump’s August 1 deadline by a solid two weeks and sign a trade deal with the US.
Canada’s immigration approach is becoming more exclusionary. It’s not the direction we should be heading
In 2023, Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, a law that explicitly banned nearly all Chinese immigrants for nearly a quarter century. Many see it as a black mark in Canadian history because it deliberately targeted and expelled the very Chinese labourers who had done the dangerous, back-breaking work of building the Canadian Pacific Railway, only to be cast aside once their labour was no longer needed.
The centenary was a moment of reflection. But since then, Canada has become more restrictive, not less. Rising immigration refusal rates, while not racially explicit, are carrying the pattern of exclusion forward.

On Monday afternoon, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived at the White House to meet with Donald Trump. Zelenskyy wasn’t there alone this time; he was joined by a long list of European and NATO allies all looking to help move towards a peace deal with Russia.
OTTAWA — A leading free-market think tank is calling on Ottawa to stop playing landlord to major airports, arguing that exorbitant land rental fees are driving up the cost of domestic air travel.
“Using airports as cash cows instead of treating them as critical infrastructure hurts families, workers, and patients who depend on reliable air service for treatment access,” says Samantha Dagres, the communications manager at the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI).
They really do not want you to travel.
Roughly half of young renters and a third of tenants at all ages are spending the majority of their after-tax income on rent, according to a new report.
Experts say the survey, which was published by Rentals.ca this week, shows that the adage of limiting your rental expenses to one-third of your income is simply no longer possible for many Canadians – a situation that could threaten the ability of renters to adequately save for retirement.
I find it sickening that the Globe which advocates for continued mass immigration pretends to give a damn about anyone squeezed out of housing by corporate Canada’s imported scabs.
“Elbows Up” hasn’t been Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach to dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump on tariffs ever since he won the April election and it’s time to consign the phrase to the dustbin of history.
While Carney advocated dollar-for-dollar tariffs against the U.S. during the Liberal leadership race, he quickly jettisoned the idea on becoming prime minister.
This week, the Toronto International Film Festival attempted to cancel, then reinstated, the screening of The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, a documentary on a retired Israeli general’s successful attempt to rescue his family during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks by Hamas.
The organizers of TIFF reportedly claimed they needed Hamas’s permission to show the footage of the extreme violence from October 7 found on the GoPros of Hamas terrorists.

After almost four decades of Canadian governments setting and failing to hit eight consecutive targets for reducing Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions, surely it’s time to admit the targets are meaningless.
Far from being “aspirational” as supporters claim, they in fact deceive Canadians about the effectiveness of federal spending of more than $200 billion of taxpayers’ money on climate change (as of 2023) on 149 federal programs administered by 13 government departments, since the Liberal government came to power in 2015.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Prime Minister Mark Carney “revised” his first major Parliamentary bill as Canada’s leader on August 8, by mandating that industrial projects deemed fit for speedy approval “must” serve the interests of indigenous peoples.
This unilateral reinvention repudiates the legal text of Bill C-5, passed into law on June 26, which only states that indigenous interests “may” or “can” be considered.
The Conservative Party is calling for the parliamentary public safety committee to investigate the federal government’s expenditure of at least $170,000 on repatriating from Syria Canadian women who had joined the ISIS terrorist group.
The letter signed by Conservative MPs asks the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security to convene immediately and investigate Global News’ reporting showing that Ottawa spent more than $170,000 for returning the eight women who had previously travelled to Syria to join ISIS.
