Donald Trump reportedly described Justin Trudeau as a “behind-your-back guy,” after the two fell out over tariffs during the president-elect’s first term in office.
As Trudeau continues to languish in domestic opinion polls, he may be tempted to reprise his role as the “behind your back guy” by attempting to appease the president on trade and security to his face, while sub rosa, using him as a warning about what Canadians can expect if they elect the Conservatives.
Calgary Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie is accusing federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault of corruption related to the so-called “green slush fund.”
On Friday, Kusie (Calgary Midnapore) said Guilbeault invested $254 million into a company he owns.
“This government is failing to comply with parliament and hand over the documents pertaining to this potentially corrupt activity,” said Kusie in a social media post.
Steven Guilbeault invested $254 million dollars into a company that he owns and this government is failing to comply with Parliament and hand over the documents pertaining to this potentially corrupt activity!

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced voters in Cloverdale—Langley City will pick their next member of Parliament on Dec. 16.
The byelection in British Columbia will be a third test for the Liberals, who have already lost two long-held seats in the last several months.
The successive byelection losses and dismal poll numbers have inspired public calls from inside and outside of Trudeau’s caucus for him to resign as party leader.
In the last gasps of the 1930s, prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King made one last feeble attempt to keep Canada out of the Second World War. The policy would be called “limited liability.” Instead of supplying the soldiers needed to fight the coming war, Canada would instead provide grain to feed the Allies and train Commonwealth aircrews. While the policy was naïve it was at least understandable. In the First World War, Canada had lost 66,000 men and women. Out of a total population of nine million, this was no small thing. Everyone was connected. Everyone was impacted. And while we had fought valiantly, earning a seat at the peace talks in 1919, it hardly seemed worth the cost. Limited liability would be the last-ditch effort to avoid the gathering storm.
As two-thirds of Canadians have indicated that there are “too many” immigrants in the country, a new national survey highlights another aspect of the immigration issue: concerns about newcomers’ integration in Canada.
Conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS), the poll found that one-fourth of Canadians believe immigrants should give up their customs and traditions, a sentiment shared by one-third of Canadians over the age of 55. In Quebec, one-in-three respondents feel that immigrants should give up their cultural practices.
Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the U.S. presidential election will have profound consequences for international relations over the next four years and beyond.
While domestic issues were likely at the forefront of most voters’ minds when they cast their ballots, there is no denying that many Americans think that the world has become a more dangerous place during the tenure of the Biden administration.
Last weekend a foreign conflict spilled out onto Canadian streets as Khalistani activists, a small subset of the Sikh diaspora who want to see India’s Punjab region become an independent Sikh state, held rallies outside Hindu temples across the country. They were protesting Indian consular officials being hosted at their places of worship.
The demonstrations came amidst heightened tensions between Canada and India, following incredible allegations from the Canadian government involving interference and assassinations levelled against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.
Ever since coming to power in 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have fervently believed their climate change and carbon tax policies would make the Conservatives unelectable, as long as Canada’s official opposition party refused to come up with its own plan.
On Tuesday, the night of the U.S. election, David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s chief political strategist through two campaigns, told CNN that the Democrats lost so badly because they had lost touch with ordinary people.
“We approach working-class voters as though we were missionaries. And our message to them is ‘We want to help you become just like us.’”
A large majority of Canadians will be observing Remembrance Day this year, most by wearing a poppy, but Quebecers tend to be less likely to observe the national day of remembrance than Canadians in other provinces, says a new poll.
The Postmedia-Leger poll looked at Canadians’ pride in the military, treatment of veterans and Remembrance Day.
It’s pretty obvious Trudeau and his government despise Canada’s military and its history, they turned the armed forces into a haven for cross-dressers and racist DEI cranks.
This week my thoughts travelled back a few decades to a long drink of a man I knew well. Sam was rail thin with a shoe-leather face and big, working hands. The smile lines on his face were deep and gave a hint of a big heart and generous soul.
Sam was from Arkansas. He was a working man his whole life. Of course, he was a Democrat.
Ahead of Remembrance Day, poll suggests most Canadians don’t know much about their history
As people gather to remember those who fought and died to protect this country in past wars, a new poll suggests many Canadians know little about their country’s history.
That’s likely because high school students in most provinces and territories are not required to take a Canadian history class before graduating, experts say.
Many Canadians are in the dark about the people who helped build this country and the seminal moments that define its past and could inform its future, according to an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Historica Canada — the educational charity best known for producing the Heritage Minutes.
For the past year, Justin Trudeau has been foolishly attacking Donald Trump in an attempt to link Trump to Trudeau’s main rival Pierre Poilievre. It’s been a ridiculous campaign that has seen the Liberals invoke MAGA — Make America Great Again — more than 100 times in the last year during their attacks on Poilievre.
One in four parents report eating less so their children can have food, according to a report from The Salvation Army.
The report, 2024 Canadian Poverty and Socioeconomic Analysis, looks at Canadian’s behaviours and attitudes on issues such as housing, food, health care, and affordability from year to year.
In 2024, it found that Canadian parents are shouldering most of the burden of rising costs when it comes to food and housing.
Chinese-manufactured solar panels continue to enter Canada despite links to forced labour practices, according to recent Federal Court filings.
Blacklock’s Reporter says this comes just five months after Canada passed legislation requiring importers to ensure goods are not produced with slave labour.
