Fired B.C. teacher wins job back after pro-Freedom Convoy presentation

On Jan. 28, 2022, Richmond, B.C., teacher Nicole Kowal-Seafoot told a colleague before a class presentation that, “I might be losing my job today.”

More than four years after she lost her job, for a presentation that was in favour of the self-styled “Freedom Convoy,” which protested vaccine mandates at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a labour arbitrator ruled that the Richmond School District’s decision was excessive.

Kowal-Seafoot’s presentation to her Grade 6 and 7 students featured a caricature of former prime minister Justin Trudeau with his head on a chicken.

Conservatives blame Liberal EV strategy after Honda plant suspension report

Conservatives blame Liberal EV strategy after Honda plant suspension report

OTTAWA — Conservatives are blaming the federal government’s electric vehicle strategy after reports that Honda is indefinitely suspending plans for a $15 billion electric vehicle project in Ontario.

Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged Wednesday that Canada’s auto sector is facing pressure from U.S. tariffs, though he did not directly address the Honda reports.

Beryl Wajsman: Arbour’s appointment is a slap in the face for Jewish Canadians

Beryl Wajsman: Arbour’s appointment is a slap in the face for Jewish Canadians

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s appointment of Louise Arbour as governor general is not a neutral choice. It makes a statement — one that many Jewish Canadians will read with deep unease.

Arbour’s resumé is formidable: former justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, a figure of global stature. But Rideau Hall is not a lifetime achievement award. It is a test of judgment — and of the ability to embody fairness in the eyes of all Canadians.


She’s pissed off a lot of Canadians.

Canada’s Spy Agency Names Iranian Hacking Group But Omits the DOJ Case That Exposed Its Cartel Bounty on a Canadian Politician

OTTAWA/WASHINGTON — Canada’s intelligence service has, for the first time, named the Iranian-linked cyber operator at the center of a U.S. federal criminal case that exposed Iran’s issuing a $250,000 bounty death threat directing Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel to behead a high-profile former Ontario politician at her Ottawa home.

How Carney is trying to appeal to the men who were ‘alienated’ under Trudeau

How Carney is trying to appeal to the men who were ‘alienated’ under Trudeau

OTTAWA — When it comes to the federal government’s plan to recruit upwards of 100,000 more people into the trades, there stands one demographic likely to benefit the most.

Men, and more specifically, young men.

Those inside Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government say the pledge, announced last week as part of the spring economic update, reflects commitments he has made around building more homes and getting major infrastructure projects off the ground. It’s also coupled with the need to fill persistent labour gaps in key trades at the same time as the government cuts back on immigration and battles high youth unemployment.

White males? Bullshit.

Foreign actors targeting Alberta separatism to stoke discord, researchers say

Foreign actors targeting Alberta separatism to stoke discord, researchers say

Early this year, Canadian researchers who track online influence campaigns and foreign propaganda happened upon something peculiar. Using artificial intelligence to catalogue the activity of Russian websites and social-media accounts known to be spreading disinformation about the invasion of Ukraine, the researchers noticed a new topic suddenly garnering more attention than it ever had from those groups: Alberta.

My first suspect would be CBC.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Mark Carney, the European prime minister

If it’s Tuesday, this must be Belgium. If you’re old enough to remember this 1969 film, where a busload of hapless tourists barrel across Europe on an 18-day tour of nine cities, you probably voted Liberal in the past election, like most of Canada’s baby boomers. And you’re probably happy with the way things are going so far. But you may not have expected Prime Minister Mark Carney to rack up quite so much time across the pond.

John Ivison: Carney’s flimsy economic claims get ripped apart by his new parliamentary budget officer

It must have been tempting for Prime Minister Mark Carney to appoint an absolute blockhead as the new parliamentary budget officer.

Instead, in Annette Ryan, he has installed a 30-year public service veteran with Finance Department experience who has probably seen it all when it comes to juggling the numbers and concealing errors.

Louise Arbour is in The Club — you are not

Louise Arbour is in The Club — you are not

Mark Carney has named Louise Arbour as Canada’s 31st Governor General. She is 79 years old, a former Supreme Court justice, a former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a former chief prosecutor of international war crimes tribunals. She is bilingual, a Montrealer, credentialed beyond argument, and the most ideologically loaded appointment to Rideau Hall in living memory.


Arbour’s appointment is meant to be an insult.

Her toxic luxury beliefs and distaste for white people made her an ideal choice as the Royal Parasite in residence.

Will we  see a repeat performance of the Antisemitism Tsar’s tenure, a woman whose bubble was burst when she found out no one was buying the con her class has long propagated to keep the rest of us in line? That no one was going to rally to the defense of a government that has busied itself importing our death cult replacements and continues to abuse immigration policy for political and personal gain?

Arbour peddles the same globalist tripe on immigration, multiculturalism and diversity.

She is a dinosaur calling the comet racist.

BARCLAY: ‘Not American’ is now the sum total of Canada’s national identity

OTTAWA — Recently, Prime Minister Carney has publicly attacked and imploded every aspect of Canada’s historic relationship with the United States of America.

Unfortunately, Mark Carney’s incipient anti-American persona is a paradigm that the Liberal era has imposed upon all of Canada, and not merely the latest outpouring of Carney’s own personal vanity.

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Federal officials quietly tested public appetite for cutting funding to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Crown corporations, with internal focus group research showing Canadians are open to reductions as Ottawa looks for ways to rein in spending.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the research, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and conducted by The Strategic Counsel under a $1.6 million contract, found participants frequently pointed to Crown corporations like the CBC and Canada Post as areas where the federal government could scale back expenditures.


Bet the polling will mysteriously experience a sea-change.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada — the medical resort of the developing world

Medical tourism in the West is considered a luxury: you travel to a place with top-of-the-line doctors who can be seen faster than you’d ever expect at home, undertake a battery of tests more thorough than what’s generally done at home, and receive an assessment more all-encompassing than, again, would be expected at home.
