State Typist Andrew Coyne Defends Liberal Party’s Extravagant Healthcare Coverage For Fraudulent Asylum Seekers

Smith and Poilievre find someone to blame for their problems: immigrants

Danielle Smith has a problem. Her government is heading toward a deficit projected, before Thursday’s budget, at $10-billion. This is only partly because it overestimated oil revenues, with oil prices now projected at roughly $5 to $10 a barrel lower than forecast in last year’s budget. It is because the government set spending at levels that could only be sustained so long as the oil boom continued. She needs something, or someone, to blame for her excess spending.

Pierre Poilievre, too, has a problem…

POILIEVRE: Mass immigration ruined the quality of healthcare. Resources are going to illegals.

CARNEY: This isn't America. EVERYONE gets healthcare.

Canada’s global performance rankings are in freefall

There is an ongoing debate over whether Canada is doing better economically than Alabama, based on their relative GDP per capita, with many on the Canadian Left arguing that our country’s economic performance and quality of life look much better when other factors are taken into account.

Unfortunately, this argument misses the mark. When we expand our comparisons beyond Alabama, it quickly becomes apparent that GDP per capita is, if anything, overstating the relative state of our economy and wellbeing relative to our global peers.

China accused of using Buddhist monasteries in Canada for money laundering, intel operations

Regular readers of LifeSiteNews, and in fact those who read most independent media, most likely are already aware that the People’s Republic of China, through its Communist Chinese Party’s (CCP) many arms, has been meddling in Canada’s elections, as well as democracy in general, for years.

What may not be as well known is that in Canada’s smallest province, the picturesque Prince Edward Island (PEI), the CCP has been accused of using Buddhist monasteries as money laundering fronts to the tune of half a billion dollars.

Carney Economic Miracle: Insolvencies hit 16-year high while food bank use and cost of living continue to rise

The numbers aren’t dramatic at first glance — a 2.3 per cent annual increase in consumer insolvencies tempered by a 3.8 per cent dip in filings in the fourth quarter.

But taken together, they tell a story about pressure building quietly for many Canadian households.

Let’s just buy the F-35s and not cut off our nose to spite our face

Canadian anger toward U.S. President Donald Trump is understandable, but there is a real risk that this leads to poor policy choices. A case in point is the growing pressure to revisit the decision to buy a fleet of American F-35 fighter jets.

In economics, we think that governments should set policy goals, then decide how many workers to employ and how much capital equipment to use in order to achieve those goals at as low a cost as possible. A key goal underlying the decision to buy fighter jets is to protect Canada from military intervention by hostile countries. Swedish Gripen fighter jets are less costly, but also less militarily effective than the F-35s. Given this cost difference, the key question is whether the policy goal of keeping Canada safe from foreign aggression can be achieved using Gripens instead of F-35s.

High speed rail project called ‘sexy’ but $90 billion price tag raises red flags

The head of the Crown corporation behind Ottawa’s proposed high speed rail corridor admits the project is “sexy” — but concedes Canadians have reason to be wary of a venture that could cost as much as $90 billion.

Blacklock’s Reporter says appearing before the Senate national finance committee, Martin Imbleau, CEO of Alto — the renamed VIA High Frequency Rail corporation — acknowledged public skepticism over whether the federal government can deliver the massive infrastructure build on time and on budget.

Disaster is written all over this pipe dream.

Canada pledges $8 million in food aid for Cuba as U.S. fuel blockade continues

OTTAWA – Canada is sending $8 million in food aid to people in Cuba, where a U.S. oil blockade has triggered a humanitarian crisis.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and MP Randeep Sarai, secretary of state for international development, say the funding is aimed at addressing urgent needs.

The funding will be delivered through United Nations agencies instead of the Cuban government.

Where is Canada’s immigration minister? Community groups are asking

When Lena Diab was appointed head of Canada’s Immigration Department, community expectations were high.

The new minister is the daughter of immigrants, is trilingual and spent part of her childhood in Lebanon. Diab had also previously served in cabinet in her home province of Nova Scotia.

“It seemed like the perfect plan,” said Stephan Reichhold, executive director of the Quebec-based Table de concertation des organismes au service des personnes réfugiées et immigrantes.

Knives out. Someone wants a place at the trough.

Carney pledges sanctions, $2 billion for Ukraine

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney promised another $2 billion in military aid and more sanctions on Moscow on Tuesday, as Ukraine marked four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion

“Four years on, Russia is failing militarily, strategically and economically, and we are in it for the long term,” Carney told reporters before the weekly cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill.

“Russia is failing. The sooner they come to the table and actually participate in peace negotiations, the better it will be.”

Experts Warn Canada Is China’s “Prototype” for Democratic Infiltration

OTTAWA — In the wake of a groundbreaking Jamestown Foundation study mapping 2,294 CCP-linked organizations across four Western democracies — and finding that Canada, with 575 such groups, has nearly five times the per-capita penetration rate of the United States — experts including a former Chinese spy who defected to Australia are warning that Canada has become Beijing’s prototype for the kind of subversion that, in CCP doctrine, precedes kinetic warfare.

PINDER: Danielle Smith’s Alberta referendum is a strategic masterstroke and Ottawa should be worried

The focus in Alberta, less so in the country, has been on the forthcoming referendum regarding independence. But Premier Smith recently called for a different referendum, one that follows the Alberta Next Review Panel. Led by Smith, it toured the province, eliciting views about the role of the province and how to strengthen autonomy within the federation.

Eleven panellists were plucked from the UCP, business, academia, the judiciary (retired), and others from the community with experience regarding a range of social issues.

At many levels, this is brilliant.

The German army’s drones disaster

German politicians like to talk about Zeitenwende – the country’s great turning point in its defence policy since the invasion of Ukraine. And it has certainly turned: towards spending billions of taxpayer euros on drones that cannot fly in frontline situations, seemingly cannot hit their targets, and whose largest investors sit not in Berlin or Brussels, but in Silicon Valley boardrooms with direct lines to the White House and CIA. If this is European defence sovereignty, one could wonder what this dependency actually looks like. And if Europe really is serious about this change.

Seems there’s a lesson for Carney in this. But I’m sure his China pivot will smooth things out.

Good news: Canada will slash millions in spending on immigrants

The federal government is going to slash its immigrant settlement funding by $98.1 million this year, including a 17.3 per cent reduction for organizations that support newcomers in Ontario, the Star has learned.

The across-the-board funding reductions outside Quebec are expected to affect all services, including employment counselling, information and orientation, translation help for appointments and other supports to assist newcomer integration. Newcomer women and caregivers, survivors of trauma, people with disabilities and others who are likely to delay language and other programs are feared to be disproportionately affected, though refugee services won’t be affected by the cuts.

We should be demanding a higher standard of resourcefulness from those accepted into Canada or better yet close the border.

Tory MP Vows Daily Reminders on Confidential Police Deal With China Until Ottawa Discloses Details

Conservative MP and public safety critic Frank Caputo says he will keep asking the federal government to release its agreement with China on law enforcement cooperation until it discloses the document that so far has been kept confidential to the public.

Caputo sent a letter to Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree on Feb. 9, requesting a copy of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on cooperation in combating crimes between the RCMP and China’s ministry of public security, which Ottawa signed during Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to China in January.

Escaping Trudeau’s ‘lost decade’ — why Western self-determination is the only cure for Ottawa’s toxic elitism

From Mark Carney’s globalist agenda to the ‘climate crisis’ charade, the West is ready to choose dignity and prosperity over the growing mess of the Canadian state.

One of the pleasures of writing columns for the Western Standard is receiving feedback. A recent email from a former law school roommate posed some interesting and relevant questions that, while unable to answer, this column can perhaps provide some perspective and context.

One addressed geography — would independence be just Alberta or also include Saskatchewan and Manitoba? To that, I would include parts of British Columbia.
