Conservatives demand answers after details of Iranian missile attack on Canadian base in Kuwait emerge

OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives are demanding to know why the public was kept in the dark for nearly two weeks after an Iranian missile slammed into a Canadian airbase in Kuwait on March 1.

Conservative defence critic James Bezan said on Thursday that it was a “failure” of government communications and transparency for this information to be withheld for more than 11 days, pointing the finger directly at Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Children of some of Iran’s most outspoken regime leaders live in West

Eshagh Ghalibaf studied at an Australian university and vacationed in Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Dubai and Istanbul before setting his sights on Canada.

He is also the son of a hardline member of the Iranian regime, which has killed thousands of protesters and is now attacking its neighbours with missiles.

Although his father, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, has said the Islamic republic would defend itself “until the last breath,” his son appears to have avoided compulsory military service.

More than 30 Petawawa troops suffer frostbite during Arctic exercise

More than 30 soldiers based in Petawawa suffered frostbite injuries during a recent exercise in Alaska, prompting concerns about the quality of equipment military personnel are issued.

Soldiers contacted the Ottawa Citizen to complain that the Canadian Army was trying to cover up details about frostbite injuries to more than 60 troops who took part in “Exercise Global Resolve” in February. A number of frostbite cases were extremely serious, the soldiers added.

LILLEY: There’s no reason why we should allow IRGC members to stay in Canada

When Canada was a serious country, we used to deport dangerous people even if there was a war on. We didn’t care if we were sending someone who was a danger to Canada back to a war zone; the main concern of our government was that the person being kicked out was a danger to Canada.


Just another example of elite corruption and decay in Canada.

Charges are being dropped against Canadian anti-Israel thuggery at an astonishing rate

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement on Saturday, in response to yet more gunfire aimed at Canadian synagogues — this time in Toronto and Thornhill, just north of the city — was notable for one reason: It did not aver that “there is no place in Canada” for what had happened, or use any similar verbiage. It was a tiny mercy in a very unnerving time. At this point, the phrase has transcended cliché and entered the realm of the offensively meaningless. Yet somehow politicians’ communication advisers still keep churning it out.


Nothing is being done because the elites who created this mess would have to implicate themselves.

Once they find a way to blame it on the proles well look out!

And believe me their trying …

Canadians Back Stricter Immigration Measures and Spending Restraint, Leger Poll Finds

As debates intensify in Ottawa and across the provinces, new data show that public opinion on key Canada politics issues is hardening.

A new national survey conducted by Leger between February 27 and March 2, 2026, highlights strong support for tighter immigration-related measures, widespread concern over record-setting deficits, and majority backing for a stricter return-to-office policy for federal employees.

  • 72% support requiring temporary residents to live in a province for at least 12 months before accessing provincially funded social programs;
  • 69% support charging reasonable fees to temporary residents for public health care and education;
  • 73% support ending supplemental health benefits for unapproved

What happens if — or when — Mark Carney and the Liberals get to a majority?

If or when Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals succeed in cobbling together a majority in the House of Commons, it will surely be one of the most unique majorities in Canadian political history — cobbled together from 166 MPs elected as Liberals last spring, at least four floor-crossers and perhaps two or three byelection victories.

Those four party-switchers are remarkable enough. But they have now come from two different parties — the Conservatives and the NDP — that are, for the most part, diametrically opposed. Until today, it might have been hard to imagine that Matt Jeneroux, elected four times as a Conservative in Edmonton, and Lori Idlout, elected twice as the NDP MP for Nunavut, could sit in the same party caucus.

LILLEY: With NDP floor crosser, Carney effectively has a majority now

Mark Carney moved one step closer to a majority government overnight as another MP crossed the floor to join the Liberals. This time it was a New Democrat, not a Conservative, who decided to join as Nunavut MP Lori Idlout changed teams.

CBC refuses to release alleged blacklist as former host tells MPs about banned interview guests

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is refusing to release an internal document that allegedly outlines which public figures its journalists are discouraged from interviewing, even after a former host told MPs the network maintained a blacklist of dozens of names.

During testimony before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, former CBC-TV host Travis Dhanraj said newsroom staff relied on an internal guide titled Parameters For Political Guests that restricted who could appear on certain programs.

Byelections could tip Liberals to a majority — will it matter in dealing with Trump?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney announced byelections scheduled for April 13 in three ridings on Sunday, and if his party wins all three, the Liberals will secure a one-seat majority in Parliament.

Two Ontario seats, in Scarborough Southwest and University–Rosedale, are vacant due to the resignations of Liberal MPs Bill Blair and Chrystia Freeland, while the seat in Terrebonne, Quebec, is empty because the 2025 vote result was annulled by the Supreme Court.

Conservatives Call to Expel an Estimated 700 Iranian Regime Agents From Canada

Conservative MPs are calling on the federal government to do more to evict Iranian regime agents and officials from Canadian soil, amid hostilities in the Middle East and acts of violence on Canadian streets.

Tories said on March 9 they will table a motion in the House of Commons immigration committee calling on Ottawa to ensure individuals linked to Iran’s regime or Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) are swiftly removed from the country.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Carney’s coveted majority remains just out of reach

Has the war in Iran torpedoed a federal election in Canada? Just two weeks ago, speculation abounded that Prime Minister Mark Carney might call a vote to capitalize on sky-high polling numbers and his desire for a majority mandate. But 10 days into Operation Epic Fury, the likelihood of Canadians going to the polls this spring has radically diminished.

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout crosses floor from NDP to Liberals

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout is leaving the NDP to join the Liberal caucus, adding another floor-crosser to the government ranks as the Liberals inch closer to a majority government.

NDP interim Leader Don Davies issued a statement late Tuesday saying the party has a long-standing view that floor crossers should step down and run in a by-election.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney told MPs in the House of Commons Tuesday that Canada is not involved in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and “will never participate in it.”

Mark Carney’s government may feel new, but poll suggests Canadians still have Trudeau-era worries

Mark Carney repeatedly says he is prime minister of a new government, not simply a continuation of Justin Trudeau’s decade leading Liberals in power.

New polling from the Pollara Strategic Insights firm suggests that more Canadians are buying the “new” title than those who don’t, especially among those who voted Liberal last year. Pollara shared the results exclusively with the Star before their wider release this week to coincide with Carney’s first anniversary in power.
