With the federal carbon tax dead and gone, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has found a new target among the Liberal government’s climate policies — the electric vehicle availability standard, otherwise known as the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
“We will legalize, into the future, your right to drive a gas or diesel-powered truck or car by repealing the Liberal EV mandate,” Poilievre said last week, while restating his desire to see a number of Liberal policies repealed.
OTTAWA – When Prime Minister Jean Chrétien got hit in the face with a pie 25 years ago, the only thing hurt was his pride.
A quarter-century later, Canada’s security landscape has changed radically. Threats of violence against politicians have become far more common. What seemed like a harmless prank then looks more like a warning now.
“There is this view that you’re a politician, it’s all fair game,” said Catherine McKenna — who was herself the target of multiple threats of violence while she served as a federal minister.
The Trudeau regime was the most vile Canada has ever endured so it should be no wonder that they found themselves the target of a justifiably intense public anger.
Mark Carney has been Canada’s Prime Minister for slightly over 100 days. Yet, he still hasn’t done the one thing his predecessors did in short order: open a constituency office.
MPs of different parties often don’t have constituency offices for short periods of time. The reasons are usually straightforward and completely understandable, including moving locations and hiring new staff members. The matter is typically resolved quickly.
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the Liberal government’s electric vehicle sales mandate is akin to “banning rural life” as he promised a nationwide pressure campaign to scrap the policy.
Poilievre took a pause from his Albertan byelection campaign Thursday for a press event in Saskatchewan in which he lambasted the Liberal policy — colloquially known as the EV mandate — as an attack on farmers and rural Canada.
A plurality of Canadians believe Canada’s move to recognize a Palestinian state is a good idea, while nearly one-third of Canadians are against it, according to recent polling.
The polling by Leger for Postmedia found that 41 per cent of poll respondents support Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to recognize a state of Palestine. In late July, Carney’s office announced that if certain conditions were met, Canada would recognize such a state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
It was an online survey.
The Liberals’ devotion to their EV (electric vehicle) mandate borders on the cultish. They are certain, as all True Believers are, that if only they believe passionately enough (and spend enough taxpayers’ money), they will be able to convince all Canadians to buy EVs.
Or they’ll force us to.
OTTAWA — An increasing majority of Canadians view the federal government’s goal of seeing all new vehicle sales be zero-emission by 2035 as “unrealistic” and believe the rule ought to the scrapped, a new survey suggests.
The polling firm Leger surveyed 1,617 respondents on their thoughts about the federal sales mandate for electric vehicles at the same time as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government faces pressure from industry to abandon the policy.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is launching a national campaign to stop what he calls Prime Minister Mark Carney’s law to end gas and diesel powered cars in Canada, warning it will drive up costs and end rural life.
Speaking at a Prairie farm today, Poilievre said Conservatives will table motions in Parliament, stage events at dealerships, pressure Liberal MPs in their ridings, and circulate petitions.
Federal Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson says he “knows there are buyers” for Canada’s liquified natural gas (LNG) globally, quite the change in emphasis from former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s argument there was no business case for such projects.
Trudeau is a monster, putting his ego before people. Carney is no different an eco-nut.
China’s announcement this week of a 75.8% tariff on Canadian canola seed, effective Thursday, is not an isolated policy shift — it’s the latest escalation in a trade conflict that Ottawa itself helped set in motion.
Earlier this year, on March 20, Beijing imposed 100% tariffs on Canadian canola oil, canola meal, and peas, along with an additional 25% on lobster and pork. These measures were already weighing on our agri-food exports.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has seen a whirlwind of activity in his first few months in the role, from dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump to announcing huge spending increases for the military, as well as implementing tax cuts and passing legislation to expedite the construction of major projects, while fielding criticism from Opposition and some provinces for maintaining some of the energy-related legislation.
Here’s a look at some of the most important happenings since Carney’s April 28 election victory.
Interesting comments on CUSMA. Makes sense if Carney’s goal is to strip mine Canada for his WEF buddies, a theory looking more substantial every day.

Federal officials spent at least $170,000 bringing Canadian ISIS women home from Syria, according to internal government documents that show expenses for ice cream, candy and wine.
The money was for costs incurred when eight women who had traveled to the Middle East to join the Islamic State returned to Canada with their children in 2022 and 2023.
OMG! The Islamophobia! You will wonder why the cops didn’t tase her just for fun.

If Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking for ways to save money, he can start by shooting fish in a barrel: He can scrap the gun confiscation program that law enforcement leaders and academic experts say won’t work.
Carney’s government says it’s working super hard on a spending review. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the rest of cabinet to come up with “ambitious savings proposals” to control government outlay.
Economists are urging the government to factor in the estimated 500,000 undocumented residents in Canada as it consults on its forthcoming immigration levels plan.
Immigration Minister Lena Diab is consulting on targets for the number of temporary and permanent residents Canada plans to allow in the next three years, in what some consider a litmus test of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s position on immigration.
The immigration levels are annually presented in October or November to help planning for housing, schools, health care and infrastructure.
First erect walls encircling the city then ship them all to Ottawa.
Farking lying bastards.
Numbers update.
Immigration levels in first third of the year outpaced @MarkJCarney promised cap on quotas.
Figures released by @CitImmCanada for first 120 days set a pace that would see nearly 400,000 new landed immigrants in 2025.https://t.co/oiom76oPHa@LenaMetlegeDiab… pic.twitter.com/pk3nltzwcY— Holly Doan (@hollyanndoan) August 13, 2025
From Torontology – When did everyone in the GTA turn Indian?
“So I just came back to Canada after being out of the country for a couple years, an after searching for a few months I landed a forklift warehouse job in the GTA, paying about $23/hour.
Whole crew? Indian.
Managers? Indian.
I was literally the only non-Indian guy there.
They all speaking Punjabi or Hindi or something the whole time I didn’t understand a thing
The lunchroom absolutely smelled like ass I couldn’t even my meal in there so I went and ate it in my car.
Then after my shift I hit McDonald’s to grab a drink… same thing. Staff, customers everyone there was Indian too.
Not tryna be rude or weird or nothing, I was just shook. Like when did this happen?? Was there some big immigration wave recently or is this just how it’s been in Ontario now?
Genuinely curious haven’t been around in a few years and it feels like the GTA changed heavy. What the fuck happened?”
