This is not an overnight development that just happened in the past two weeks, after the Trump administration and Israel launched attacks on Iran.
Reports were emerging in January that even while Iranian citizens fed an uprising that led to the murder of roughly 40,000 of them at the hands of the Iranian regime, members of the regime have been quietly relocating to Canada.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once wrote: “No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.”
He was speaking of the citizen in relation to his community, but the situation for political leaders is rather different. They are compelled to wear more than one face when addressing the multitude – especially in democracies, which are made up of different constituencies with differing interests. Things get more complicated, however, when two different public faces are in tension with one another, as has been the case for Mark Carney since he assumed the premiership of Canada a year ago this week.
Iran fired missiles at a military base housing members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Carney government said nothing for almost two weeks.
When they finally did say something it was only because Montreal newspaper La Presse had reported on the matter.
Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to enjoy an extended honeymoon with certain segments of the public with his popularity at near-record highs.
This, despite having made some glaringly rookie mistakes since taking office a year ago.
In the rugged interior of Newfoundland, an hour’s drive west from the Canadian Forces Base in Gander, sits a dormant mine with profound implications for the nation’s security and prosperity. Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.
OTTAWA — Canada’s $35-billion plan to strengthen defence along its northern frontier is getting mixed reviews.
While Canada has a history of making lofty plans — especially when it comes to its underfunded and under-equipped military — the devil always ends up showing itself in the details.
One year ago this week, Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s prime minister. It happened at a moment when my polling indicated that the mood of the country was well into a major shift. The past few years had been marked by what many now call a period of permacrisis. Pandemic recovery, climate emergencies, rising living costs, geopolitical instability and technological disruption all arrived at once. At Abacus Data we have described the public mood that emerged from this as a precarity mindset.
OTTAWA — Canada lost 84,000 jobs last month as unemployment inches higher, the latest jobs report from the government says.
And the number of full-time workers experiencing chronic, long-term unemployment is now higher than during the pandemic.
Taking jobs away from urban youth isn’t enough. They need to get the rurals, too. https://t.co/Zcm4sdwY4H

I am writing as a concerned citizen to express my profound concern over the federal government’s March 9, 2026, move to close debate on Bill C-9, Ottawa’s anti-hate bill.
As recently reported by the National Post, Khaled Al-Qazzaz, executive director of the Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council, said he and other Muslim groups representing hundreds of Muslim organizations opposed the bill and felt “ambushed” by the government’s decision to limit further debate.
Racism is built into Canada’s system says law professor Bruce Pardy.
Universities, tribunals, even governments favour some races over others. This isn’t opinion. It’s policy. And most Canadians have no idea.

Ottawa is rewarding a filmmaker who proudly blends pornography, political provocation, and public funding. Canadians should ask why their money and one of the country’s top cultural honours are being used to elevate explicit ideological smut.

After years of record-high immigration to Canada, significantly fewer immigrants were accepted into the country last year, a rare non-pandemic drop since 2015 when Justin Trudeau was elected prime minister.
There were 19 per cent fewer immigrants to Canada in 2025 than in 2024; that reflects a total of 393,530 new immigrants compared to 483,655 the year before, according to the latest federal government data.
The Liberal government lies about everything. The decline is likely overstated.
OTTAWA — The Carney government is promising more than $37 million in humanitarian aid for civilians in Lebanon caught in the crossfire between Israel and Hezbollah.
“We call on all actors to immediately de-escalate the situation and engage in constructive dialogue to prevent further suffering,” said Randeep Sarai, secretary of state for international development.

The Liberal government has unveiled a detailed, multibillion-dollar proposal to modernize and expand Canada’s military footprint in the country’s Far North.
The comprehensive $35-billion plan, which also includes improvements to civilian infrastructure, is expected to see northern base upgrades, including runway improvements and expansions, as well as hangar and road construction, in a number of locations across the Arctic.
Most of the investment — approximately $32 billion — is being drawn from a pool of money set aside almost four years ago by former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government to modernize NORAD, the binational North American air defence command shared with the United States.
So Carney the liar is announcing spending already announced 4 years ago.
The Israeli ambassador to Canada called the country “one of the centres of antisemitism globally” during a visit to a Thornhill, Ont., synagogue that was shot at last week.
While Ambassador Iddo Moed noticed “a rising trend in antisemitism” following his arrival in Canada in August 2023, it was after the October 7 terror attacks on Israel that a “dramatic spike” occurred, he said.
