Labour pains: Why Canada’s reliance on temporary foreign workers may be hurting growth

When University of Waterloo economist Mikal Skuterud ponders the triangular relationship between immigration, technology and productivity, he finds himself thinking about Norway, where his family is from. It’s a place that doesn’t import low-skilled workers to do jobs Norwegians don’t want to do. That kind of work is mainly done by technology. The country’s fish processing industry is famously and thoroughly automated, as are places like supermarkets. “Low-wage jobs like you see in Canada literally don’t exist,” he says. “Even cashiers. The grocery store is completely self-checkout. It’s almost like there’s no employees in a lot of the stores.”

Terry Newman: Shopify CEO calls out Liberals’ ‘toxic’ foreign tech subsidies

Tobias Lutke, the CEO of Canadian tech giant Shopify, says the federal government should stop bribing foreign companies with taxpayer money to create jobs in Canada.

He was responding to Industry Minister Mélanie Joly’s X post celebrating foreign tech giant Nokia’s heavily government-funded Ottawa campus, which is now under construction.

Alberta vows to defy federal gun laws as Smith unveils sweeping pushback

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government will move next week to block enforcement of Ottawa’s new firearm legislation, marking one of the strongest sovereignty-based challenges her United Conservative Party has launched against federal authority to date.

Speaking to supporters more than an hour late at the UCP AGM in Edmonton, Smith said her government will table a motion under the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act ordering all provincial agencies — including municipalities and police services — to refuse to enforce or prosecute the federal gun grab program.

Pipeline deal is not a ‘baked cake,’ Canada’s energy minister says

OTTAWA — One day after a pipeline plan for Alberta sparked backlash and a Cabinet defection, Canada’s energy minister emphasized the project is far from a done deal.

“We’re baking the cake,” Tim Hodgson told POLITICO on Friday from British Columbia. “We’re just buying the ingredients right now. Let’s not opine on how the cake tastes till it’s a little bit further baked.”

SMOL: Prime Minister Mark Carney’s war on veterans goes beyond budget cuts

What might be your course of action if you wished to dilute and ultimately eliminate the government’s duty of care for disabled veterans without making it seem so obvious?

First, appoint a complete neophyte as minister of Veterans Affairs – one who has no Parliamentary or cabinet experience. A minister who would be expected to kowtow to the policy will of the Prime Minister’s Office and who can be expected to happily repeat, with sincerity, any canned talking points they receive from the man in charge.

Environment minister insists Ottawa not rolling back climate policy in wake of Alberta MOU

Following the historic signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Ottawa and Alberta to lay the groundwork for a new oil pipeline — and the resignation of longtime cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault over the issue — Environment and Climate and Change Minister Julie Dabrusin insists the federal government is not rolling back its climate policy.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith committed to a series of measures aimed at strengthening cooperation on major projects and outlining the conditions that need to be met before a new oil pipeline to the Pacific to proceed.

Just hours later, Guilbeault — who served as environment minister for nearly four years under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, resigned from the prime minister’s cabinet declaring his strong opposition to the MOU.

Steven Guilbeault was never going to last in Mark Carney’s cabinet

The news that Steven Guilbeault quit Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet shouldn’t shock anyone who has followed the Quebec environmentalist’s long, combustible relationship with realpolitik. If anything, the only surprise is that the ending wasn’t scripted months ago.

During the last federal campaign, I noticed two posters standing only a few feet apart in the Montreal riding of Laurier–Sainte-Marie. One belonged to Guilbeault. The other to the local Green Party hopeful, Dylan Perceval-Maxwell. His sign carried an unusual footnote: “P.S. Voting for Steven Guilbeault is also voting green.”

The Carney-Smith agreement surely won’t make pipelines ‘boring again’

Shortly after Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith formally signed their memorandum of understanding on Thursday, Smith joked to reporters in Calgary that she would love for “pipelines to be boring again.”

It’s not clear that pipelines have ever been boring — they have been associated with political tumult in Canada for at least 70 years. And given the great questions that are still tied up in both the idea and the reality of an interprovincial pipe — the unresolved work of reconciliation, the lack of a complete answer to the present and future threat of climate change, the fear for national unity — it is difficult to imagine that a pipeline could easily be made boring in this moment.

Failing to Expel Chinese Spies Tells China, US That Canada Is ‘Open Territory’ for Chinese Infiltration: Scholar

When Canada does not expel Chinese spies operating within the country, it signals to China and the United States that Canada is “open territory” for Chinese infiltration, says Charles Burton, a China scholar and senior fellow of the Sinopsis think tank.

“We’re not expelling people that I believe CSIS knows are espionage agents,” Burton told MPs as he testified before the House of Commons procedure and house affairs committee on Nov. 27.

Most Liberals believe Poilievre’s their ticket to remain in government

OTTAWA–The drama of a budget vote had every political animal in the country on the edge of their seat.

And in the end, it was a cliffhanger. But in reality, the outcome should not have been a surprise to anyone.

Having just come off an election this past spring, there was zero appetite to go back to the polls for most political parties.

The only leader who could have benefited from an election is Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. A ‘no’ vote would have meant that his mandated January 2026 party review would be cancelled.

Canada is climbing out of Trump’s frying pan and into Xi’s fire

If Aesop was right that “a man is known by the company he keeps,” then Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government may be due for severe judgment.

Late last month, Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in South Korea, and accepted an invitation to visit China. Carney called the moment a “turning point” in the relationship. This follows the announcement that Beijing and Ottawa agreed to revive a “strategic partnership,” as Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand described it, after meeting with her counterpart in China earlier in October. The Canada-China relationship is heating up quickly.

Donald Trump’s fingerprints are all over Mark Carney’s Alberta deal

Basking in the glow of new-found friendship between Ottawa and Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith declared that this day would never have arrived if Justin Trudeau was still prime minister.

“I can tell you 100 per cent that the former prime minister would never have moved this far on these issues,” Smith said, after she and Mark Carney unveiled a whole new energy-and-environment deal between Canada and Alberta.

Immigration minister denies knowledge of U.S. diplomatic directive to get Canada, allies to lower immigration

Federal Immigration Minister Lena Diab says she’s unaware of a directive that was reportedly sent to the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa from the Trump administration ordering its envoy to press Canada to lower most immigration levels.

Asked if Canada takes advice from the U.S. when setting Canada’s immigration levels, Diab said she consulted for months with economists, department officials and stakeholders across the country when deciding Canada’s immigration levels going forward.

Who in their right mind would discuss immigration with the evil morons governing Canada, a nation they deliberately ruined by mass migration.

U.S. to Press Europe and Other Allies on ‘Mass Migration,’ Document Says

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered American diplomats in Europe and in Canada, Australia and New Zealand to press their host governments to restrict most immigration and to file reports if the governments appear to be overly supportive of immigrants, according to a document sent to U.S. embassies and consulates.

Mr. Rubio told the diplomats to emphasize the effects of criminal acts by immigrants to encourage greater entry restrictions, according to the document, which is a diplomatic cable dated Nov. 21. The text of the cable, which was obtained by The New York Times, has not been previously reported.
