Organized burglary gangs blending sophistication with brute force are wintering in Canada from Latin America and Eastern Europe as “crime tourists,” coming to take advantage of early seasonal darkness and Canadian habits to ransack and loot homes.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Terry Newman: Carney did not protect Canadians from the 2008 financial crisis
Recently, Mark Carney sat back and failed to negate the claim that he deserved credit for having saved Canadian banks from the misadventures of our American neighbours during the 2008 financial crisis. Carney can claim no such credit. In actuality, there are historical reasons for Canada’s lack of vulnerability to such financial upsets, including a divergent institutional pathway and regulatory changes recommended by Canadian Supreme Court Judge Willard Estey that safeguarded Canada’s banking system from the financial crisis.
Billionaires line up to support Mark Carney in Liberal leadership race
Members of six of Canada’s billionaire families have donated the legal maximum to Mark Carney’s Liberal leadership campaign, according to an Investigative Journalism Foundation analysis of the first interim financial disclosures published by Elections Canada.
Carney raised $1.9 million overall, far more than any other leadership candidate. He is also dominating the polls and has 83 MPs supporting him compared to former finance minister Chrystia Freeland’s 26.

Liberal leadership candidates to face off in first of 2 debates Monday
Candidates vying to be the next leader of the federal Liberals and Canada’s prime minister will square off in a French-language debate in Montreal tonight.
Four contenders cleared their final financial hurdle last week and will be on the ballot to replace the outgoing leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
I don’t want to hear their BS in English let alone French.
The most telling indicator that the Liberals remain doomed
Despite a spate of new polls showing the Liberals as contenders in the next federal election, the party continues to flunk one of the more reliable Ottawa indicators of looming defeat: Their MPs are all leaving.
As of press time, 35 of the Liberals’ 153 MPs have announced their intention not to run for re-election.
That’s nearly a quarter of the caucus who have already thrown in the towel on their parliamentary career — and the list includes many of the most influential names of the Trudeau government.
Green-Scam Profiteer Mark Carney’s Firm Brookfield Buys Brit Net Zero Assets
Mark Carney’s investment company has bought National Grid’s renewables business as the former Bank of England governor runs for political high office.
The Canadian asset manager Brookfield, which is chaired by Mr Carney, is expected to complete the $1.7bn (£1.3bn) takeover of the National Grid operation by the end of September.
The deal comes as Mr Carney, who last year raised $10bn for the group’s eco-friendly investment fund, battles to succeed Justin Trudeau as the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party in a contest on March 9.
I do not want this Green-Scam profiteer as PM.
Crime Cartel activity in Canada grew to become very prevalent during Trudeau era
Cartel activity in Canada ‘very prevalent now,’ former Trudeau advisor says
Organized crime cartel activity is “very prevalent now” compared to at least a decade ago, says a former national security advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and listing those groups as terrorist organizations may help prevent a “national crisis.”
Jody Thomas says the government’s move to list seven transnational criminal organizations, including multiple drug cartels, as terrorist entities under the Criminal Code will give law enforcement more tools to go after cartel-affiliated criminal groups in Canada — particularly their finances — that will be “enormously helpful.”
Ottawa’s Affordable Housing Plan Has ‘Unrealistic’ Price Tag of More Than $1 Trillion: Fraser Institute
The federal government’s plan to achieve affordable housing levels through additional building is “completely unrealistic” and comes with a price tag of over $1 trillion, according to a new report.
The Fraser Institute report “Canada Needs to Save Much More to Finance an Ambitious Investment Agenda” looks at what Canada needs to do to improve housing affordability and attract more business investment.
This lawyer’s not just battling prorogation. He’s battling ‘corrupt’ Justin Trudeau
Liberals are magicians. Through sleights of hand and by proroguing Parliament, the Liberals could yet win another election with a new leader.
Not so fast, shout defenders of democracy. David MacKinnon and Aris Lavranos — both living in Nova Scotia, both lawyers — have asked the Federal Court to weigh in on whether Trudeau’s proroguing of Parliament was legal. Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a non-profit founded by John Carpay, offered up a legal team from Charter Advocates Canada. And on Feb. 13 and 14, Chief Justice Paul Crampton heard arguments for and against prorogation, and committed to rendering a swift decision before the issue becomes moot.
Jack Mintz: Will the real Liberal party please stand up?
“I don’t get it.” This phrase comes to mind as I listen to senior Liberal politicians proposing to reverse a decade’s worth of Justin Trudeau’s policies that they willingly pushed while in power. Now they’re signing on to new oil pipelines, internal trade reforms and reversal of carbon and capital gains taxes. When you peel off the onion’s skin, however, you realize it’s still a stinky onion.
LILLEY: Liberals claiming foreign interference on Ruby Dhalla laughable
Wait, the Trudeau Liberals are suddenly concerned about foreign interference?
That’s what they want you to think after they kicked Ruby Dhalla out of their leadership race, but it’s not believable.
As the Liberal Party broke the news, first leaking it to CBC before telling the public or the candidate, they made sure to include concerns about Dhalla and foreign interference.
BOBBY ORR: The Great One is a great Canadian who deserves our respect not criticism
The recent Four Nations Face-Off in hockey was, by any standard, an unbelievable success for the game of hockey.
Article content
The exposure it produced for our great game is a credit to all those individuals involved in its creation and implementation. Hats off to all the players who were so committed to their respective homelands and the game of hockey in general.
These were not mere exhibition games – these were games with great meaning. Congratulations one and all.
The people making a show of their patriotism for the most part are the same ones who shit all over Canada for the last ten years by supporting Trudeau and his useful idiot Singh.
No loyalty oaths here, no pseudo-patriots welcome.
Colby Cosh: A CBC head tax — the next big Liberal idea that no one asked for
On Thursday morning, the federal heritage minister, Pascale St-Onge, gave forth the outlines of her plan to reform the CBC and adapt it to the future. You might think such an exercise would involve asking questions about the CBC’s prior performance, or whether a state broadcaster is really necessary in the 21st century, or exactly what parts of it are essential.
GOLDSTEIN: Hiking carbon taxes during tariff war is economic madness
Increasing Canada’s national carbon tax (aka the consumer fuel charge) as scheduled on April 1 by almost 19% to $95 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions from the current $80 per tonne, when we may be in a full-scale tariff war with the U.S. by then, is economic insanity.
Liberal leadership candidates divided on question of cuts to key public service vote bloc
OTTAWA – Liberal leadership candidates have contrasting plans for Canada’s federal public service — with presumed front-runner Mark Carney taking the most aggressive stance so far.
Carney recently vowed to cap the size of the public service and rein in government spending.
While he hasn’t said where this cap would be set or how much he would reduce spending, Carney told a press conference on Wednesday he would review program budgets and use new technology like artificial intelligence to improve efficiency.
The public service runs in the millions.
They are well financed and organized. No Liberal is going to risk their vote.
