We’re now in the 20th consecutive year of freedom’s retreat around the world, says the venerable American institution Freedom House, and the current backsliding has lasted longer than the descent into fascism during the 1930s. Established in 1941 to persuade Americans to join the fight against the Nazis, Freedom House has been closely tracking democracy’s ebbs and flows since 1973. Among the findings in its latest annual report …
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Floor-crossing Liberal MP Michael Ma casts doubt on reports of forced labour in China
OTTAWA – An MP who left the Conservatives to join the Liberals is casting doubt on reports of human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang region.
MP Michael Ma asked an expert during a parliamentary committee hearing Thursday whether she’d seen forced labour with her own eyes.
“Have you witnessed forced labour in Xinjiang? Have you witnessed forced labour? Just a short answer — have you witnessed forced labour in Xinjiang, yes or no?” Ma said while questioning Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa.

Carney blows Xi.
Update: Michael Ma says his comments came across as ‘dismissive of the serious issue of forced labour’
Gun charges stayed against Canadian Sikh Khalistani leader
Inderjeet Singh Gosal, who leads the Sikhs for Justice movement in Canada following the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, has had gun possession charges against him stayed in an Ontario court.
Gosal was charged in September 2025, when Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) stopped his car in Whitby, Ont. Police alleged they found a loaded handgun in a car, and charged Gosal along with two companions.
Charges against Arman Singh of Ontario and Jagdeep Singh of New York were dropped two months later, but continued against Gosal.
Canada meets NATO defence target, but opposition says it’s ‘creative accounting’
OTTAWA — The North Atlantic Treaty Organization confirmed on Thursday that Canada’s defence spending has reached the target of two per cent of gross domestic product, a commitment that has been 20 years in the making.
“We control our destiny,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in Halifax. “I am pleased to announce today that we have kept that ambitious promise.”

Beijing’s “Two-State” Strategy Targets Indigenous Land Claims and Resources to Undermine Canada’s National Sovereignty, and Mark Carney’s PRC Pivot Makes It More Dangerous
VANCOUVER — At a moment when Canada is reassessing its economic sovereignty and Prime Minister Mark Carney is charting what he describes as a deeper strategic partnership with China, a long-running but poorly understood vulnerability is quietly advancing — one that cuts across the most sensitive fault lines in Canadian public life: Indigenous land rights, natural resource development, and Beijing’s patient, methodical campaign to secure the commodities it needs without ever having to negotiate with Ottawa.
The strategy, as intelligence documents obtained exclusively by The Bureau reveal, is not new. It is simply becoming more consequential.
Canada might help oil tankers cross Strait of Hormuz if there is a ceasefire, Carney says
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada might join efforts to ensure freedom of navigation in the Middle East if there is a ceasefire.
Reporters asked Carney on Thursday how Ottawa might get involved in efforts to reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has blockaded in response to the U.S. and Israel launching a war on Iran a month ago.
Carney says Canada is talking to allies about how it could help restore the movement of vessels in the strait, offering the clearest scenario yet of how it might get involved.
Carney says apology needed for Indigenous spying program
The prime minister said there should be a public apology for a spying operation targeting hundreds of Indigenous people that had the support of the federal government.
“Yes, there should be an apology,” Mark Carney said during a news conference in Halifax on Thursday. “It’s a reprehensible practice. Never should’ve happened.”
Carney was responding to reporting from CBC Indigenous, which revealed extensive RCMP surveillance activities dating back to the late 1960s against Indigenous leaders and organizations.
He panders as much as Junior.
War is the worst time to find Canada — still — without a national oil reserve
Can Canada insulate itself from oil volatility caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s illegal bombing of Iran? Experts say no. History says yes.
Iran’s retaliation against American attacks has disrupted oil supplies. Gasoline prices have spiked and left shocked Canadian motorists to wonder why their lives should be so affected by events in the Persian Gulf. Doesn’t Canada produce enough oil to supply all its provinces?
Yes — and it can supply them quickly, without waiting 10 years to approve and build a 4,600-kilometre pipeline from Alberta to New Brunswick.

With hindsight, incompetent former immigration minister says he would have capped international students sooner
Justice Minister Sean Fraser, who was in charge of immigration during some of the years Auditor General Karen Hogan found instances of fraud in Canada’s international student program, said with hindsight, he would have acted sooner to fundamentally change it.
The Opposition Conservatives have been calling for his resignation, along with that of current Immigration Minister Lena Diab and Fraser’s immediate successor Marc Miller, from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet.
John Ivison: Supply management set to spoil another huge trade opportunity
Just as turkeys don’t vote for Christmas, it would be unreasonable to expect Canada’s chicken farmers to elect for more open trade with the world’s major poultry exporter.
The chicken sector is, after all, one of this country’s supply-managed industries. It’s protected from most foreign competition, ostensibly in the name of domestic food security but also, whisper it, to ensure extremely healthy returns for producers.
UNRWA About to Collapse?
With so much news—especially Middle East news—it was easy to miss this.
According to the outgoing CEO of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for the Palestinian People, Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA is on the verge of collapse.
Of course the Liberal Party lavishes our cash on them … Since fully restoring funding in 2016 (after a temporary cut), total pledges have exceeded $200 million CAD
Perennial laggard Canada now the equal of Albania after clearing NATO’s 2% bar
Canada crossed the politically significant threshold of meeting NATO’s defence spending benchmark of two per cent of gross domestic product, according to the Western alliance’s annual secretary general’s report and compilation of statistics released on Thursday.
It is the first time since the late 1980s — toward the end of the Cold War — that the country has met the target, which has in recent years taken on enormous political and symbolic significance.
GOLDSTEIN: Wishful thinking by the Liberals damaged our economy
When it comes to energy policy, Canada is under duress from two decades of Liberal governments that — to reverse the popular phrase from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos speech — treated the world “as they wished it to be, not as it is.”
The Liberals wished for the world to run on wind, solar power and biomass, while in the real world it runs on oil, natural gas and coal.
