The return of Trump has Poilievre talking about a crackdown beyond the U.S. border

… On Sunday, he called for a crackdown on people coming to Canada – tightening visa requirements to make it harder to visit and setting a cap on the number of asylum-seekers.

For a long time, Mr. Poilievre didn’t go there. His party wanted MPs and candidates to steer clear of anything that suggested tough talk on immigration. It’s only in the last few months that

Mr. Poilievre has ramped up criticism of the Liberal government’s failure to control a surge of temporary residents.
Now, he’s talking about cracking down on “false refugees” and warning “our Canadian jobs are being taken.”


A good start but he better learn how to pronounce the words “mass deportation” because Trudeau has literally allowed millions of illegal alien scammers to remain in Canada.

Trump’s fentanyl ultimatum puts Canada’s ‘super labs’ under microscope

The growth of illegal Canadian fentanyl production came into focus over the weekend after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump reportedly gave Canadian government leaders a clear impression that the runaway drug problem is his top priority, even in Canada-U.S. relations.

Canada’s China class must be concerned.

Despite humiliating dinner with Trump, Trudeau is showing leadership

I’m glad Justin Trudeau managed to get face to face with Donald Trump and make the case that Canada shouldn’t be socked with tariffs that would send our economy into a recessionary spin.

Obviously it’s better to talk directly to the Great Khan in his stately Mar-a-Lago pleasure dome than to be left on the outside peeking in. If you’re invited for dinner, of course you go, and you make the very best of it. On the face of it, it must mean something positive that Trump agreed to see the PM so quickly after dropping his tariff bombshell. Doesn’t it?

PINDER: Trudeau the weak link in dealing with Trump tariff threat

Howard Lutnick is Trump’s appointment as the next Secretary of Commerce, a cabinet role to manage economic growth and trade relationships. In a recent interview on NBC’s Squawk Box, he frankly stated “the tariffs are a bargaining chip that should not be put in place across the board.” He also revealed one of Trump’s tactics by stating that “when you’re running for office, you make broad statements so that people understand you”.

As well, recently named Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was quoted in a Financial Times interview that “my general view is that at the end of the day he [Trump] is a free trader”.

KOOP: Singh could lose NDP leadership with risky gambit

The world seems like a more dangerous and uncertain place for Canada. Incoming President Donald Trump’s threat of slapping a 25% tariff on Canadian goods has jangled nerves from sea to sea.

Are Justin Trudeau and his government up to meeting the challenges appearing on the horizon? Increasingly, the prime minister seems to be clinging to power, which is not a position of power.

Something’s Burning in Trudeau’s Canada

The 70th annual session of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, held Nov. 22-25 in Montreal, hit a snag on its first evening when violent activists tried to disrupt the event.

Metropolitan police were unprepared for the organized assault. So was Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who seems to have had no inkling of the possible security risks that a NATO summit in his country might present. No, the Canadian leader wasn’t out to lunch. He was at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.

Trudeau’s lunatic electricity regulations would burden Ontario residents with $35B in costs

Ontario says federal clean electricity regulations would add $35B in costs

TORONTO – Ontario is urging the federal government to amend proposed electricity regulations after an analysis by the province’s system operator concluded the rules would mean $35 billion in additional costs by 2050.

A new analysis by the Independent Electricity System Operator looking at upcoming regulations around restrictions on emissions from electricity generation found that Ontario would have to add twice as much new generation as it is already planning, which is “not feasible” in that time frame.

But if the province were to somehow do so, building enough new electricity generation to make up for restrictions on natural gas would add $35 billion in costs by 2050, increasing residential bills by $132 to $168 per year starting in 2033, the IESO said.

Layoffs could be on the table for public servants. Here’s everything you need to know

The federal government is currently looking for ways to tighten its budget and curb the size of the public service. In order to do that, it’s undertaking a multi-billion dollar spending review.


The LPC has been on a civil servant hiring spree, in many quarters job growth in the public service outpaces the private sector.

There’s a reason for that besides the economy sucking, the public service is a valued vote bloc for the LPC.

Canada launches global ad campaign warning asylum-seekers that making a claim is difficult

Once presenting itself as one of the world’s most welcoming countries to refugees and immigrants, Canada is launching a global online ad campaign cautioning asylum-seekers that making a claim is hard.

The $250,000 in advertisements will run through March in 11 languages, including Spanish, Urdu, Ukrainian, Hindi and Tamil, the immigration department told Reuters.

They are part of a broader shift in tone by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unpopular government on immigration and an effort to clamp down on refugee claims.

Trudeau’s Canada: Ontario food banks cutting back amid ‘unprecedented surge in demand’

About 40 per cent of food banks in the province have scaled back the amount of food they provide each visit amid “record-high demand,” according to a new report by Feed Ontario.

The report, which was released Monday, reveals that usage has “surpassed the capacity and resources” of Ontario’s food bank network, adding that provincial food banks were accessed by more than a million people between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024. This marks a 25 per cent increase over the previous year. About 43 per cent of those visitors had never used a food bank before, the report states.


A message from the CEO combined with a land acknowledgement in a hunger report. Tell me this isn’t an industry designed to take advantage of rather than alleviate the problem.

How much of foodbank usage is due to Trudeau’s migrants?

Last year, 97.6 per cent of population growth in Canada was due to immigration,  however, the increase in people who have “been in Canada for 10 years or less” has contributed to only a third of the growth in food bank visitors in Ontario. This is inclusive of temporary workers, students, refugees, and immigrants who have lived in Canada for up to a decade and are struggling with the cost of living.

So 33% of food bank usage is due to migrants, but in the same breath the report calls that a myth.

That cost of living is exasperated by the extreme rise in rents and costs of home ownership created by a housing shortage fueled by … Trudeau’s migrants.

Poilievre accuses Trudeau of coming home empty-handed after Trump, PM hail ‘productive’ Florida meeting

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. president-elect Donald Trump hail their surprise meeting in Florida on Friday night as “productive,” federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Trudeau came home empty-handed for Canada.

Poilievre made the comment Sunday in response to a reporter’s question about the Trudeau-Trump three-hour dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. The pair talked cross-border issues including Trump’s threat to slap massive 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian products being imported into the U.S.

PM Trudeau ‘surprised’ provinces unanimous on accelerated defence spending: Ford

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his fellow provincial leaders are united in pushing for Canada to meet its NATO defence spending targets ahead of schedule, and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was “surprised” to hear it.

Ford — currently chair of the Council of the Federation of Canada’s Premiers — told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an exclusive Canadian broadcast interview airing Sunday that the premiers are making the ask amid U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threats of new tariffs, and conveyed it to the prime minister in his meeting with the premiers last week.

Trudeau’s people don’t want to say how much they overspent

Last week, Yves Giroux, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, raised a rarely-talked-about issue with the federal government — that is, the release of important fiscal documents is being delayed further and further each year. While at first glance this may not seem like a big deal, it’s a sign of declining transparency — an issue all Canadians should care about.

MORGAN: Canada can’t afford more Trudeau

Canada needs a serious leader and it hasn’t had one for a decade.

When the world mocked Justin Trudeau dancing the night away with pubescent girls while Montreal burned, the issue wasn’t that people don’t feel he has the right to enjoy a night out with his daughter. It was just that it provided a perfect metaphor for his entire term in office. Whenever large, complicated and important issues challenge Canada, Trudeau steps out and pulls some infantile stunt.
