As mayor of Vaughan, I’m urging Mark Carney to meet our Jewish community

I have an urgent request for Prime Minister Mark Carney: please come to Vaughan, Ont., to meet with our Jewish community.

As Vaughan’s mayor, I want you to know that Jews here feel angry, scared, defiant, tired, shocked and beleaguered. Who can blame them? I’ve lived my entire life in this country, but I have never before witnessed the shocking levels of antisemitism and Jew hatred we now see so regularly. I never imagined I would. Not here. Not in Canada.


Del Duca is lying.

He supported the Liberal Party and that means he supported their immigration policy that opened the floodgates to incompatible cultures like Islam.

I have no doubt he would smear anyone who opposed the death cult as an Islamophobe and a racist.

I hate that these pols are trying to wash their hands of responsibility.

Carney meets world: Is prime minister a more international job now?

In his first year as prime minister, Mark Carney was restless.

Two days after being sworn in at Rideau Hall, he made official visits to France and the United Kingdom. Shortly thereafter he went into a five-week election campaign, and a week after last spring’s vote he travelled to Washington.


I’m pretty sure he just hates Canada and Canadians.

Should Canada Support Cuba’s Ruthless Regime Asks Star?

As Cuba faces mounting crises, should Canada increase its foreign aid and should Ottawa support U.S. efforts to force a regime change?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Cuba — “friendly” or “not friendly” — have landed like a grenade in a debate Canadians thought they understood. For decades, Ottawa’s approach to Havana has been built on engagement, not confrontation. Now Washington is demanding a harder line, tightening sanctions, threatening tariffs on countries that ship oil to the island and dangling the prospect of regime change.

But within Canada, the choice is not simple. Most Canadians who follow Cuba closely agree the communist government has a dismal human-rights record and that ordinary Cubans are suffering. They disagree sharply on whether pressure and sanctions will liberate those Cubans — or bury them.


I doubt many Canadians are worrying about Cuba other than where to go for their next vacay.

GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney government all over the map on foreign interference by India

What in heaven’s name is going on in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government with regard to the threat posed to Canada’s national security by India?

It’s as if the Liberals have learned nothing from the foreign interference inquiry in which Justice Marie-Josee Hogue concluded, “the government has proven to be a poor communicator and insufficiently transparent when it comes to foreign interference.”

Europe is eyeing France’s nuclear shield. Should Canada follow?

A very quiet queue has formed in Europe where some of Canada’s long-standing, closest allies are seeking shelter under France’s small but robust nuclear umbrella.

The initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, who declared the next 50 years to be the “era of nuclear weapons,” is — on paper — intended to add another layer of deterrence to NATO’s American-backed security guarantees.

Once again — on paper — Russia is the adversary that needs deterring.

Why Canada’s GDP per capita crisis is real

The Globe and Mail sparked a debate when it reported that Canada’s GDP per capita has fallen behind Alabama’s. The comparison rattled Canadians and triggered a wave of criticism about the validity of using GDP per capita as a measure of national prosperity.

Critics argue that GDP is a flawed metric, pointing to legitimate measurement challenges. But these measurement issues affect every country. The question is not whether GDP per capita is perfect but whether Canada’s trend relative to our peers signals deeper problems.

The evidence suggests it does.

Randy Hillier’s convoy case back on after stay of charges overturned

The criminal case against former Ontario politician Randy Hillier over his participation in 2022’s convoy protest in Ottawa is back on after the province’s top court overturned a decision to stay the charges.

The charges were stayed in late 2024 after a lower court judge ruled the case had dragged on too long, past the mandatory time limits set by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Canada should ‘absolutely’ match Poland’s Chinese EV ban at military bases: Expert

OTTAWA — Intelligence and cybersecurity experts are warning the Liberal government about national security risks posed by allowing Chinese electric vehicles onto Canadian military bases.

Critics and some experts are even calling on Ottawa to ban the cars from Canadian Armed Forces bases and other sensitive sites due to onboard sensors they say could collect and transmit sensitive information to the Chinese government.

Zero Population Growth From Immigration Is a Welcome Breather for Canada

A new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer projects that Canada’s population growth will be flat this year due to immigration cutbacks and major outflows of temporary residents. For the average Canadian, this is good news.

The report analyzes the “demographic implications” of the Carney government’s first Immigration Levels Plan, released alongside the federal budget in November 2025, finding that Canada’s population growth “will remain flat in 2026” and only inch up to 0.3 percent in 2027.

John Carpay: Liberals have Canada leading the West in state surveillance

Among the western democratic powers, Canada is quickly emerging as a leader in internet regulation and state surveillance.

The federal government, whose efforts are encouraged by a mostly compliant public, is driving more and more of the human experience into a digital realm. This digital realm is a vast infrastructure of legislation, law enforcement and corporate partnerships in which people are becoming the objects of government analysis, modelling and manipulation.
