With one press of a button on a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through Canada’s aerospace industry and raised questions about its very future.
It caught many by surprise – but not Unifor National President Lana Payne, who has warned Canadian workers are in the “fight” of their lives.

Big revenue, trade leverage, and industrial perks: Why Trump’s $264B tariff haul will be hard to give up
WASHINGTON, D.C. — “‘Tariffs’ is the most beautiful word to me in the dictionary,” President Donald Trump liked to say early last year, calling it his favourite word and promising they would help usher in a new “golden age” for America.
Bombardier is what’s wrong with Canada, a corporate welfare parasite like so many others whose main business is robbing the public treasury to enrich the elite.
Mass immigration? The elite engaged in a human trafficking scam on a grand scale to line their pockets without care for the profound harm ordinary Canadians would suffer.
Multiculturalism and diversity? Bludgeons used to beat your very existence into the ground.
The media? A bought and paid for elite megaphone serving up a daily dose of propaganda purposely designed to humiliate.
The China Pivot? A villainous effort to keep Canada the elite’s ATM.
I fear Trump far less than I do our “betters”.
In Ottawa, various cabinet ministers are praying that TACO – the “Trump always chickens out” theory – is still valid. Or largely so, or at least somewhat so, for they are on the verge of gambling big on the U.S. President’s rage factor.
TACO is high on their minds because Prime Minister Mark Carney and several of his cabinet ministers, including Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, are thought to be embracing the idea of Canada building the Saab Gripen fighter jet and Saab GlobalEye military surveillance plane. They are both Swedish creations whose construction in Canada would create 12,600 jobs, Saab has said.
It’s not much of a stretch to say that in terms of Canada-U.S. relations, we are — metaphorically speaking — at the point where we’d prefer to shoot the messenger, rather than listen to the message.
In the view of some experts, the political and economic discourse is so distorted, so angry, so mashed up that important points of strategic and defence policy that would have been mundane — even eye-glazing — less than a decade ago are lighting enormous rhetorical and political fires.
Should politicians be able to hike taxes without standing up to cast a vote?
Thanks to a 2017 policy implemented by Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, that’s exactly what happens every year with alcohol taxes.
Mark Carney’s Liberal government wants to control everything. With Bill C-9, they seek to remove the religious exemption for prosecutable hate speech; MP Marc Miller specifically cited Bible passages as examples. With Bill C-16, they could open the door to criminalizing conversations between family members after the fact.
The new Bill C-16 (not the 2017 bill of the same name, which prohibited “hate speech” on the grounds of “gender identity and expression” and made Dr. Jordan Peterson famous) has been titled the “Protecting Victims Act,” and was introduced by the Liberals in the 45th Parliament. It has not attracted much attention, but as MP Leslyn Lewis recently highlighted, it may have far-reaching effects.
New information from an informant in the case involving three men accused of facilitating terrorism in Quebec City revealed they were planning for a supposed zombie apocalypse.
The information, provided as part of an ongoing case still before the courts, comes from a former member of the group Hide & Stalk — an alleged anti-government Instagram group of current and former military members.
Mark Carney received worldwide praise for his speech at Davos, in which he threw down the gauntlet against Donald J. Trump’s destructive politics. His speech, a couple days later on Canadian unity at the Plains of Abraham will not receive such international attention, but it is far more revealing of the fundamental flaw of Carney as a politician. For all his intelligence and credentials, Carney simply doesn’t know much about the country he governs.
In their pursuit of a budget that prioritizes “capital spending,” the Liberals have adopted a definition of “capital” recognized by no other advanced economy on earth.
This was according to recent testimony by Jason Jacques, Canada’s interim Parliamentary Budget Officer.
Federal departments hired nearly 900 foreign students in a single year despite official warnings that Canadian students are struggling to find work and facing rising unemployment.
Blacklock’s Reporter says records tabled in Parliament show the federal government employed 889 foreign students in 2024, the most recent year with complete data, even as the Treasury Board acknowledged Ottawa is supposed to prioritize Canadians.
Records show feds hired 889 foreign students a year while lamenting high jobless rates for Canadian students. @TBS_Canada noted federal employers were supposed to hire Canadians first.https://t.co/Z6MA9oLp9Y@ESDC_GC @CitImmCanada @VincentHo #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/Tqrq7y1a8s

If this doesn’t make you despise the Liberal Party nothing will.
Earlier this month, the shocking video of a man shooting up a Brampton home while brandishing two pistols was the first time many had heard much about extortion rings.
Yet, in communities across Canada, especially those with a significant Indian immigrant population, extortion has been a rising concern for years now.
Carney wants the criminal alien vote bloc too much to enforce the law.
The vast majority of candidates on the ballot box for Canada’s 2025 election have stated they are certain that foreign agents were actively trying to sway people’s voting intentions one way or another.
According to data released from a Survey Of Candidates for the 45th General Election, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, nearly half of the candidates were also convinced that illegal funds were being used to interfere in the democratic process.
Most candidates, some 76 percent, said they were concerned with the spread of “false information online.”
Both companies competing to build Canada’s new fleet of submarines are engaged in a battle of deal-signing this week, looking to convince the federal government and the public they’re serious about creating jobs in this country.
Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) has signed an agreement with Vancouver’s Seaspan Shipyard to establish a maintenance facility for the new submarines should the federal government select its Type-212CD as the replacement for the navy’s aging Victoria-class boats.
Canada is set to open its automotive market to Chinese electric vehicles, as researchers and policymakers warn that a flood of Chinese products in markets such as Europe has come at the expense of domestic producers.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mark Carney struck a deal with China to allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into Canada annually at a 6.1 percent tariff, replacing the 100 percent tariff imposed in 2024 amid concerns over Beijing’s non-market practices.
Sharia police have caned a couple 140 times each in Indonesia’s Aceh province for having sex outside marriage and drinking alcohol, likely one of the severest such punishments since the deeply conservative region adopted Islamic law.
Sexual relations between an unmarried couple are strictly outlawed in Aceh, the only place in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, to impose sharia law.
