Margareta Dovgal: Liberals twisted themselves into pretzels over their own pipeline MOU

The plan isn’t designed to succeed

Playing politics with pipelines is a time-honored Canadian tradition. Tuesday’s events in the House of Commons offered a delightful twist on the genre.

The Conservatives introduced a motion quoting the Liberals’ own pipeline promises laid out in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Alberta, nearly verbatim. The Liberals, true to form, killed it 196–139 with enthusiastic help from the NDP, Bloc, and Greens.

Canadian hate speech law ‘would criminalise biblical passages’

Planned changes to Canada’s hate speech law would criminalise biblical passages, critics have claimed.

Under Canada’s criminal code, anyone found guilty of “wilful promotion of hatred” faces up to two years in jail.

But it also says that prosecution should not apply to a statement made in “good faith” and “based on belief in a religious text”.


Carney’s kid is a tranny so you know where his sympathies lie.

Donald Trump has a plan for America’s place in the world. What is Mark Carney’s vision for Canada?

The promise of a new and long-awaited national security strategy would be laughable if it were not so late in coming

OTTAWA — The promise, yet again, that Canada will soon produce a new and long-awaited national security strategy would be laughable if it were not so late in coming, a perennial work in progress, not to mention fairly relevant right now.

The latest word is that sometime in the new year, weeks after the U.S. threw down its own aggressive America First plan on the desks of global leaders, the Liberal government will present Canada’s vision of the main threats to national sovereignty and security, and how best to tackle them.

Too Close for Comfort: Carney Floor Crosser Comes From a Riding Tainted by PRC Interference

OTTAWA — Mark Carney’s minority government is now one seat shy of a House of Commons majority—not because Canadians changed their minds in an election, but because a newly elected Conservative member of Parliament, Michael Ma, has crossed the floor to join the Liberal caucus.

Floor crossing is legal. It is also one of those Westminster quirks that can be permissible while still corroding public trust—especially when it is used to rewire the meaning of an election after the ballots are counted.

Common sense hasn’t won on climate file yet

Ten years ago, then-governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney gave a speech at Lloyd’s of London titled “Breaking the tragedy of the horizon.” It outlined his plan for the global financial system to internalize the “catastrophic impacts of climate change.” It was the first time Carney had publicly identified climate change as a threat to the stability of global financial markets — one that governments and regulators had to combat. Carney called on banks, insurance companies, public pension plans and other institutional investors to align their financing with their climate commitments by restricting oil and gas companies’ access to capital and investing instead in companies that would help the transition to the “net-zero world of the future.”

Carney’s pipeline deal with Alberta will move us a little closer to climate Armageddon

Whether Mark Carney’s sweetheart deal with Alberta will lead to the defeat of his minority government is, admittedly, an interesting question.

But arguably even more interesting (not to mention important) is this question: Will Carney’s deal move us — and the rest of the world — a little closer to climate Armageddon?

Sadly, the answer is, unequivocably, yes.

LILLEY: Carney looks to tap friend and fundraiser for Washington

Opposition parties howled with anger over reports that Prime Minister Mark Carney will appoint his friend and fundraiser Mark Wiseman as Canada’s next ambassador to Washington. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Wiseman a “corporate crony” and an “elite” — two things that actually might help him in Washington and with the Trump administration.


He’s one of the scumsucking slimeballs behind the Century 100 initiative.

Jamie Sarkonak: When your food bank donations subsidize fraud and video games

Food banks are struggling, but it’s hard to feel charitable when some people treat them like an immigration perk

The struggling food bank has been a recurring motif in the news in recent weeks. Food aid agencies across the country are presenting various regional hunger reports to the public, and the results are consistently depressing: usage is higher than ever, donations are down and “we don’t know how we’re going to keep up.”

On the other hand, food bank abuse seems to be a recurring problem. What’s being done to prevent it from happening? It’s not all that clear.


From Grok – What percentage of foodbank users in the GTA are not Canadian citizens?

43% of food bank users in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are not Canadian citizens, according to the most recent data from the Daily Bread Food Bank’s Who’s Hungry Report 2024. This report, based on surveys of over 1,300 clients across 79 food banks in Toronto (a core part of the GTA) and intake data from the city’s Link2Feed system, covers the period from April 2023 to March 2024. It shows that among all surveyed clients, 57% are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, while the remaining 43% include temporary residents (22%, such as international students and work visa holders), refugee claimants (12%), those under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program (6%), and undocumented individuals (1%).

This figure reflects a slight increase in non-citizens compared to 2023 (when 49% were non-citizens). Among new clients—those visiting for the first time, who make up 57% of total visits—the share is higher at 73%, with 80% of them being newcomers to Canada (less than 5 years in the country). Overall visits reached a record 3.49 million, up 38% from the previous year, highlighting rising food insecurity amid economic pressures like housing costs and inflation.

For context, this aligns with national trends from Food Banks Canada’s HungerCount 2024, where 34% of clients nationwide are recent newcomers (in Canada 10 years or less), but GTA data shows a higher concentration of non-citizens due to the region’s diverse immigrant population.


Like locusts.

Donations subsidize the ruin of our society.

Canada’s defence minister responds to Trump’s new National Security Strategy

The weaponization of trade to “strengthen American power and pre-eminence” is entrenched in the new U.S. National Security Strategy recently released by the White House.

In the prologue, U.S. President Donald Trump writes that the U.S. “will continue to develop every dimension of our national strength, and we will make America safer, richer, freer, greater and more powerful than ever before.”

The Trump doctrine raises new concerns that Canada’s sovereignty will come under even greater economic and political pressure.


The US “Weaponizes Trade” to strengthen American power in Canada trade is managed to strengthen the Laurentian elite and Carney’s Brookfield payout.

‘Come North!’ Canada Makes Play for H1-B Visa Holders With New Talent Drive

H1-B candidates head for Canada

Canada is making an aggressive effort to attract highly-skilled researchers from around the world, including H1-B visa holders in the United States who are coming under growing pressure because of the Trump administration’s restrictive immigration policies and cuts to research funding.

The Canadian government on Tuesday said it would spend more than $1 billion over the next few years to attract and retain scientists from around the world, including those at major hospitals and universities.

It also said that in coming months it would create an “accelerated pathway” for U.S. H1-B visa holders. H1-B visas are issued to highly skilled people working for American companies and are concentrated in major industries that compete for global talent, such as technology and medicine.


H1-B visas in the USA are just another way to hire cheap labour and otherwise skirt immigration scrutiny.

Imagine bragging about this – The University of Toronto, Canada’s top academic institution and one of the world’s highest-ranked universities, lured several top humanities and social sciences professors from Ivy League schools during the year.

Federally funded study to probe how to provide ‘culturally preferred food’ to immigrants

Just as the Liberals were announcing their budgetary plans to cut the size of government, a Vancouver-area researcher was granted $600,000 in federal monies to figure out how to ensure more African food is made available in Canada’s major cities to serve growing populations of African immigrants.


Just say no to bugs.

Liberals back Bloc’s proposal to attack the religious with hate speech laws

Liberal MPs on the House justice committee backed a Bloc Québécois proposal to remove a religious exemption from Canada’s hate speech laws — after the suggestion initially appeared to halt the government’s anti-hate legislation.

The Criminal Code currently includes an exemption for hate speech, “if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”

On Tuesday evening, the justice committee added a Bloc amendment to the Liberals’ Bill C-9 — dubbed the Combatting Hate Act — that would remove the religious exemption.


Start counting the number of attacks against Christians as opposed to Islam.

Cost of Carney’s Egypt summit flight ballooned to $736K with no air force plane available

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s last-minute trip to October’s Gaza peace summit in Egypt cost Canadian taxpayers more than $736,466 — more than three times higher than it would have been if the Royal Canadian Air Force had been able to supply a plane.

While the government chartered a Bombardier Global 5000 jet from the Chartright Air Group, in an answer tabled in the House of Commons, the Department of National Defence estimates using a government-owned Challenger aircraft would have cost $198,800.
