Canada’s housing market is ‘cracking’ under Trump’s trade war: report

Canada’s housing market is “cracking” under the weight of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, with housing resales down in markets across the country, a new report said.

The Royal Bank of Canada report looked at the data from the MLS Home Price Index, which is essentially the median price of a house in a market.

The sharpest pullback in people getting into the housing markets has been in southern Ontario and British Columbia, RBC economist Robert Hogue said.


Not to worry they’ll just open the mass immigration floodgates wider to juice the housing shortage.

Is the promise of military icebreakers political theatre or sensible policy?

A former top naval commander and several defence experts have been left scratching their heads following the governing Liberals and Opposition Conservatives’ recent embrace of the notion of giving the Royal Canadian Navy heavy, armed icebreakers to defend the Arctic.

They question the military sensibility of building — possibly at a cost of billions of dollars — one, two or even three 10,000-tonne or more polar-class icebreakers with guns and missiles, vessels with possibly limited usefulness that would be vulnerable to both air and submarine attack.


Theatrics mixed with another LPC crony capitalist slush fund.

The Liberals torched their own agenda just to cling to power

To me, the most surreal moment came during Mark Carney’s speech on the night he won the Liberal leadership. Raucous cheers ensued when he declared the abolition of the consumer carbon tax and the retreat from the increase in capital gains inclusion rates. If you knew nothing about Canadian politics, you’d think this jubilation was in response to the assertion of long-cherished Liberal policies and principles.

But, of course, it was nothing of the sort.

The US should be worried about Canada’s foreign policy

Canada is no longer a serious country — at least not when it comes to foreign policy and moral fortitude.

Over the last several years, Ottawa has failed to articulate any meaningful strategy in response to major global events, while at the same time jeopardizing some of Canada’s most important diplomatic relations. This should set alarm bells off in Washington. If Canadian and U.S. foreign policy remain this misaligned, the consequences for America could be serious.

Federal Indigenous spending almost tripled to projected $32 billion under wastrel Liberal Party

A modest improvement in Indigenous living standards due to unrelated federal child benefit

Since 2015, the federal government has significantly increased spending on Indigenous Peoples.

The annual Indigenous budget has almost tripled from 2015 to 2025, growing (in nominal dollars) from roughly $11 billion to more than $32 billion.

Justin Trudeau was bad, but Mark Carney will be far worse

“… In a sense, Carney represents the logical next step after Trudeau’s demolition job. Trudeau destabilized Canada’s foundations. Carney is stepping in to rebuild it, not as a nation of free citizens, but as an administrative region within a larger, borderless system of corporate governance. A system where people are no longer protected by a social contract but managed like livestock: monitored, nudged and corrected under the pretext of global crises — climate, pandemics, inequality, disinformation — manufactured or manipulated to justify endless “emergency” rule. The message to Canadians is simple: You had your fun with elections. Now the grown-ups will take it from here…”

Hong Kong Police Detain Relatives of Canadian Candidate Targeted by Beijing Election Interference

HONG KONG / OTTAWA — In a striking escalation of Beijing’s interference in Canada’s Parliament and its global campaign to silence dissent, Hong Kong police have reportedly detained and questioned relatives of former Conservative election candidate Joe Tay—who was targeted by aggressive Chinese cyber and ground operations during the recent federal campaign, according to The Bureau’s intelligence sources.

Joe Rogan mocks Canada for re-electing Liberals, claims Pierre Poilievre turned down podcast offer

Joe Rogan is stupefied by the Liberals’ return to power last month after the party had fallen to historic lows under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Hunting podcaster Cameron Hanes brought up the government’s handling of the trucker protest in the nation’s capital back in 2022. The “Freedom Convoy” descended on the city on Jan. 22 to protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Big rigs blocked off major streets and drew thousands of supporters, both in real life and virtually.

SLOBODIAN: Secrets buried with COVID?

Early on in the COVID-19 ‘pandemic’ that terrified, traumatized and financially devastated so many Canadians, one priority weighed heavily on the federal Liberal government.

That was to protect itself from criticism or embarrassment… and also from legal liability surrounding the $8 billion that taxpayers paid for COVID-19 vaccines to seven pharmaceutical companies — including Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca.

Canada’s allies are wondering if they can still shelter under the U.S. nuclear umbrella

Gone, it seems, are the days when the phrase “going nuclear” was meant figuratively.

Since the beginning of the year and the inauguration of the second Trump administration, an increasing number of Washington’s closest allies have begun to throw quiet — and sometimes not so quiet — fits about whether they can still count on the decades-old nuclear deterrent capability of the United States.

Few places feel that uncertainty more keenly than South Korea.


It’s bad to have nuclear weapons. The US has nuclear weapons so the US is bad.

It’s OK if the US promises to defend us with them but we’re just too pure to ever acquire them in Canada’s defense.

Ottawa looking for ways to mend tears in Canada’s social fabric, document shows

OTTAWA — Senior federal officials have been looking quietly for ways to bring together Canadians who don’t see eye to eye on the economy, immigration and social issues.

With a general election looming, officials prepared to meet last November to brainstorm solutions to the problem of social fragmentation, according to an internal presentation drafted by the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The presentation called on session participants to come up with ideas to make Canadian society more cohesive by reversing the trend toward polarization, building trust in government agencies and fighting the swelling tide of misinformation and disinformation.

Young Canadians Voted Against Spending Orgy, But Their Insulated Parents Won

The most memorable meme of the recent Canadian election campaign emerged from the line outside an Ontario microbrewery, where an older Liberal Party supporter named Matt Janes flashed two middle fingers to protesters agitating against Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The obscenity went viral — with Janes becoming infamous as the Brantford Boomer — not just for its crass vulgarity, but for exposing the deep generational divide in Canada.

Names of media outlets that received millions in government-mandated funding released only days after election

Just two days following the federal election, the Canadian Journalism Collective (CJC), which oversees the distribution of government-mandated media funding from Google, released a list of outlets that received millions of dollars.

The decision to wait until after the election has raised concerns about transparency, given that the funds were distributed to media outlets during a campaign where recipient media organizations had a major financial stake in the election due to a reliance on subsidies distributed or mandated by the Liberal government.


This is Banana Republic stuff.

Canadian Journalism Collective Issues First Public Disclosure of Funding Recipients

The Canadian Journalism Collective-Collectif Canadien de Journalisme (CJC-CCJ), the independent administrator of funds under the Online News Act, is pleased to issue its first public disclosure of fund recipients today, reaffirming its commitment to transparency.

Today’s disclosure includes 108 news businesses that have received funding up until April 23, 2025, totalling $22,193,608.09, as part of CJC-CCJ’s mandate to support a vibrant, innovative and independent news ecosystem for all Canadians.
