Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Canada, prepare for a decade of thrift and lower living standards
We are poorer than we think. Canadians running their retirement numbers are shining light in the dark corners of household finances in this country. The sums leave many “anxious, fearful and sad about their finances,” according to a Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan survey recently reported in these pages.
Fifty-two per cent of us worry a lot about our personal finances. Fifty per cent feel frustrated, 47 per cent feel emotionally drained and 43 per cent feel depressed. There is not one survey indicator to suggest Canadians have made financial progress in 2025 compared with 2024.
Federal officials managing conflict concerns tied to Carney’s private sector ties
Federal bureaucrats are working behind the scenes to manage potential conflicts of interest involving Prime Minister Mark Carney’s former private business ties, senior officials confirmed this week, amid renewed scrutiny of his financial connections and past roles with major corporations.
Christiane Fox, deputy clerk of the Privy Council Office, told MPs that public servants are coordinating with the Prime Minister’s Office to address any declared conflicts.
Statscan denies political motive behind misinformation study … just a right wing conspiracy theory
Statistics Canada is rejecting claims that a recent study on internet misinformation was politically motivated or intended to support the government’s push to regulate online content.
“The report was not requested by any public authority,” said agency spokesperson Annick Irakoze, who explained the findings were based on public questionnaires.
Carney heads to Europe with military spending on the agenda
Prime Minister Mark Carney departs Sunday to meet with European and NATO allies amid heightened tension in the Middle East and mere hours after the United States joined Israel’s war with Iran.
The first stop will be in Brussels on Monday, where the prime minister is expected to sign a comprehensive security and defence partnership with the European Union.
U.S. President Donald Trump bailed early on last week’s G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., saying he was needed at the White House to deal with the evolving war where Israel is attempting to not only destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but to instigate regime change.
Carney comes bearing grifts for his EU and WEF pals.
I suspect the talk of adopting Trump’s desired goal of a 5% NATO spend is just hot air.
GUNTER: Carney Liberals stubbornly holding onto EV lost cause
This week, the Carney Liberals announced they had no intention of changing the Trudeau government’s planned ban on gasoline-powered cars, trucks and vans beginning next year. Whether you want an EV, you’ll be forced to buy one if you buy any new vehicle by 2035.
Mark Carney’s minority government has an unexpected partner in the Conservatives — for now
OTTAWA—There’s a new coalition in town.
If the last Parliament was dominated by the Conservatives’ insistence that the Liberal-NDP alliance had spun the country into an irreversible state of disarray, the opening weeks of the latest session has put a new pact on the map.
“It appears to me, and it remains to be seen, that (Prime Minister) Carney’s new majority coalition is Liberal-Conservative, delivering Pierre Poilievre’s policies with a more friendly face,” said the Green Party’s Elizabeth May on Monday, as she raised the alarm over C-5, the Liberals’ major projects bill.
GOLDSTEIN: Prepare for more billion-dollar boondoggles
What happens when Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise of massive new federal spending on public infrastructure and speedy approval of “nation building projects” runs into the fact the federal public service routinely ignores the rules for spending public money and approving such projects?
Rick Ekstein: A question for Mark Carney — what’s the future for Canada’s Jews?
On a recent mission to Israel, it broke my heart to hear a young Jewish Canadian question whether he had a future in Canada. One participant responded: “Only the Prime Minister of Canada can answer that.”
So, Prime Minister Mark Carney, I ask you plainly: Do Canadian Jews have a safe and secure future in this country? Because if the answer is yes — and I hope it is — then you need to start showing it. Now.
It will not get better.
Vivian Bercovici: Iran could fall any day, and Carney could not be more irrelevant
SDEROT, Israel — On Feb. 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, stood at the top of the stairs of an Air France jet that had just landed in Tehran. This stern, robed man had been whisked from his country villa provided by the French government (then led by President Valery Giscard d’Estaing) to a waiting jet. During his 14 years in exile, Ayatollah Khomeini was treated reverentially by the French. Before descending the stairs, the 40 year old cleric paused, triumphantly.
I think Carney is where he wants to be.
Shoring up the Muslim vote and waiting for profitable opportunities to arise.
Israel will become less viable for business as it becomes increasingly isolated and subject to additional sanctions while the Islamic world will open to their new BFF Carney.

McTEAGUE: Carney’s exercise in stupidity
This past Tuesday, the Conservative Party put forward a motion in parliament calling on the Liberal government to immediately end their ban on gas-and-diesel driven Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, which will take full effect in 2035.
Arguing for the motion, Melissa Lantsman rightly said, “Nobody is denying people the choice to drive an electric car. There is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the government mandating that everybody drive an electric car.”
Unfortunately for all of us, MPs voted 194-141 to keep the EV mandate in place.
Foreign ministry criticizes CBC for changing Taiwan reference from country to ‘self-ruled island’
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday criticized CBC News for changing its description of Taiwan from a country to a “self-ruled island.”
On June 14, Canada’s largest news broadcaster posted an article on the alleged ties between Bliss and Wisdom, a Buddhist group with operations on Prince Edward Island, and the CCP. The piece originally described a high-ranking monk from Taiwan as traveling “between his home country, Prince Edward Island, and China” in 2023 at the invitation of a Buddhist group that reports to the United Front Work Department.

As the U.S. trade war drags, CBC is instructed to plant the seed that Canada should improve ties with China
As the U.S. trade war drags, calls grow for Canada to cautiously improve ties with China
As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government works to reshape its economic policies amid an unpredictable administration south of the border, Canadian businesses that trade with China say Ottawa needs to find ways to expand exports there — and fast.
While the Canada-China relationship has been stymied in recent years, there are signals of relations improving.
Policy for profit every time.
I served in Justin Trudeau’s PMO. This is what I think of Mark Carney’s first big mistake
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 has generated a lot of chatter. Unfortunately, there’s a lot that has been missing in the conversation.
For starters, the Indian government’s belief that Canada is soft on extremists seeking to establish an independent Sikh state known as Khalistan isn’t exactly new. In fact, despite the fact I have now entered middle age, it’s about as old as I am. But as India-Canada relations appear to be entering a new phase under Prime Minister Carney, it’s worth considering what we are giving up by welcoming the Modi government back into our good graces.
We are a nation of Fifth Columns forever divided without hope of regaining a unifying identity.
Canada Slashes Forecast for Making Housing More Affordable
“Restoring affordability to levels last seen two decades ago isn’t realistic, especially after the post-pandemic price surge,” CMHC said. The change in forecast “highlights how widespread the housing affordability challenge has become across Canada.”
