Government Bug Bet Bombs: Ottawa’s investment in world’s largest cricket farm couldn’t survive ‘yuck factor’

The business of insect farming was supposed to grow big and fast.

In London, Ont., that promise took shape in Aspire Food Group Canada. Billed as the world’s largest cricket farm, it was a 150,000-square-foot, fully automated facility designed to house billions of insects and produce millions of kilograms of protein each year.

Crickets are touted as a low-carbon protein source, requiring less farmland than traditional livestock and offering the potential to address world food insecurity.


No matter I’m sure Liberal party pals made money.

UN watchdog bashes Mark Carney’s ‘procedural theatre’ on Iran war

Few people can make tyrants look over their shoulder, but Hillel Neuer has built a career doing exactly that. The Montreal-born, Geneva-based lawyer and human rights crusader has become one of the most unrelenting watchdogs of the United Nations, exposing hypocrisy and defending the world’s dissidents in some of the globe’s most repressive regimes.

As executive director of UN Watch — the Geneva-based NGO known for holding dictatorships to account within the UN system — Neuer has been called “feared and dreaded by the world’s dictatorships” (Tribune de Genève) and “the most hated man at the UN” (Bild).

Christians warned to expected increased hostility, persecution after bill passes in Canada

Canada’s top pro-life group, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), is warning that the passage of a Liberal bill criminalizing religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the Bible, including about homosexuality and gender, will lead to the “actual persecution” of Christians.

In comments to LifeSiteNews, CLC said the passage of Bill C-9 earlier this week is a warning to Canadians of faith to prepare for increasing hostility.”

Federal memo links immigration policy to rising youth unemployment in Canada

A federal briefing memo is contradicting years of government messaging, acknowledging that immigration policies allowing foreign students expanded access to jobs — at the expense of Canadian youth employment.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the internal document from Employment and Social Development Canada cites an 18% unemployment rate among Canadian students and attributes worsening job prospects in part to a surge in non-permanent residents, including international students.

As International Condemnations Mount Over Liberal MP’s Forced Labour Attack, Carney Plans $1,775-a-Head Fundraiser Co-Hosted by Michael Ma

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney has gone to ground.

Two days after Liberal Member of Parliament Michael Ma used his time at the House of Commons industry committee to demand that a sanctioned China expert personally confirm she had witnessed forced labour before her evidence could be taken seriously — a performance celebrated by Chinese Communist Party state media as a propaganda victory and condemned by international Uyghur organizations as an affront to Canada’s own recognition of genocide — Carney has issued no public statement.

A small group of Canadians are living it up. The rest of us are struggling. Welcome to the K-shaped economy

Job Fair

Abdallah Aban is taking a quiet weekday moment in the food court at his local mall, munching on a breakfast sandwich, sipping his Tim Hortons.

His wife and two of his eight children are at work in the nearby Amazon warehouse. But Aban, 60, lost his job there last year and has had no luck finding a new one.

The family is getting by, even though they’re no longer receiving the Canada Child Benefit now that the kids are older, and they’re finding food and rent expensive.


Abdallah Aban, his wife and eight children? “Economic migrant” I’m betting.

Only the Star could find a writer who features a primary cause of Canada’s economic downfall as the victim.

It’s a certainty the author is an open borders scammer having been a VP of the Business Council of Canada which advocates for replacement scale mass immigration. For the benefit of the economy of course.

Liberals are tightening the noose around the necks of Christians in Canada

With the passage of Bill C-9 at Third Reading in Parliament on Wednesday, religious freedom in Canada feels incredibly fragile.

Since the Liberal Party took power under Justin Trudeau in 2015, progressive politicians and their LGBT allies have more or less free reign to implement their agenda, and they have taken full advantage of it. Conservatives tend to steward the status quo; revolutionaries run with the ball when they get it. Over the past decade, they have covered a lot of ground.

Carney’s mega anti-Trump alliance starts quest to save world trade

Nearly 40 nations are hatching a plan to save the World Trade Organization or, if it can’t be salvaged, to build a new order.

LONDON — The middle powers that Canada’s Mark Carney rallied in Davos will face a test this week against the “rupture” in global trade opened by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The nearly 40 nations in the EU and Indo-Pacific CPTPP trade blocs are on a quest to save the World Trade Organization at a pivotal meeting in the African nation of Cameroon.

Six years ago, Trump crippled the global trade body’s dispute court. His administration is now pressuring members to change the WTO’s core principles to get tough on China as the White House’s tariffs openly flout the rules, damaging global trade.

LILLEY: Michael Ma’s clarification on China questions doesn’t add up

Chicom 5th Columnist

Michael Ma is saying he was misunderstood, but you shouldn’t believe him. The Conservative MP who crossed the floor and joined the Liberals last December has not only had a change of heart politically, but he also now appears to be speaking up for China.

Tourist towns ‘desperate’ to depress wages for everyone in Alberta

Tourist towns ‘desperate’ for workers in Alberta

Canada’s tourism industry is struggling to find workers as employers face tighter rules on foreign labour and fewer Canadians stepping into the sector.

In Alberta’s mountain tourism hubs, those challenges are even more complex, with employers and job seekers pointing to a lack of affordable housing as a major barrier.

Just days after arriving in Banff, Gintare Dalmantaite is already looking for work.


If I see foreigners waiting tables and working in the kitchen my appetite is immediately suppressed and the risk makes my wallet snap shut.

Canada will cancel thousands of refugee claims under new retroactive law

Thousands of refugee claimants already in the system awaiting a hearing will have their asylum claims terminated under new eligibility criteria that are applied retroactively in a law that has just taken effect.

Under the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, which received royal assent Thursday night, anyone who first arrived in Canada after June 24, 2020, will not be allowed to make a refugee claim after one year, regardless of whether they left the country and returned.

Those who have come to Canada after that date and made their claims since June 3, 2025 — when the proposed eligibility rule was initially announced — will have their claims cancelled.

BARCLAY: Ten years of Liberal rule turned Canada into a failing state — the data proves it

On March 16, the renowned Study of the Canadian Consumer revealed that “Nearly half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque” and that “a growing number of Canadians say they’re barely staying afloat.”

Unfortunately, even though job markets and ‘life-chances’ have unequivocally collapsed and evaporated throughout all of Canada, it is evident that the degenerate state of the Canadian nation has expanded well beyond the looming outbreak of abject poverty.

Canada’s Identity Crisis Is Really a Cohesion Crisis

Canada does not have a diversity problem. It has a cohesion problem.

For the better part of a decade, the country was governed by an approach to identity that elevated difference, symbolism, and managed inclusion while treating any serious discussion of common culture with suspicion. Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada increasingly spoke of itself less as a nation with a shared inheritance and more as a platform for competing identities, grievances, and moral claims. The effect was not unity but drift. It weakened the language of citizenship and made the idea of a common national story seem faintly improper.

6 key moments from the Supreme Court challenge of Quebec’s secularism law

Seven judges of the Supreme Court of Canada are now considering the fate of Quebec’s controversial secularism law, Bill 21, which bans some civil servants, including teachers, from wearing religious symbols on the job.

A decision isn’t expected for at least several months.

Four days of arguments — exceptionally long for a Supreme Court case — dealt mostly with complex questions regarding the mechanics of Canada’s notwithstanding clause.
