With a Liberal cabinet shuffle looming over the sitting MPs, several of Trudeau’s old guard are looking for a new cushy position in an ambassador or figurehead role to fall back on after they’re ousted.
It’s the kind of behaviour Canadians have come to expect from this government: when the public mood sours and the polls tighten, the Liberals don’t roll up their sleeves, they roll out their exit strategy.
Tens of thousands of international students who were granted postgraduate work permits will see their visas expire this year, casting doubt on their futures in Canada and leading economists to wonder if some will stay in the country as undocumented residents.
There were 31,610 people with valid postgraduate work permits in the country as of Sept. 30, and those visas will expire by Dec. 31, according to data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provided to The Globe and Mail.
Those numbers have recently come under scrutiny by economists and immigration experts because it’s unclear how many temporary residents remain in the country after their visas expire, adding to the undocumented population.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is scrapping plans for a major national climate policy and immediately suspending another in Alberta alone, as part of a wide-ranging accord that softens federal measures for the oil-rich province and sees Ottawa throw its support behind a controversial new pipeline proposal.
It marks a significant shift in the federal government’s approach, placing peace with Alberta over imposing national regulations that were favoured under Carney’s predecessor as prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
No pipeline will be built.
Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault has quit cabinet over the federal government signing Thursday’s memorandum of understanding with Alberta, which jointly agrees on a path forward for a new bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast.
“I chose to enter politics to champion the fight against climate change and the protection of the environment,” Guilbeault wrote in a lengthy statement on social media.
The Quebec MP had been serving as official languages minister, the minister of Canadian identity and culture — and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Quebec lieutenant.
This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec.

When five independent examinations of the federal Liberal government’s industrial greenhouse gas emission targets conclude they are unachievable, when does it become acceptable to state the painfully obvious — that the targets are a farce?
Ottawa would have to report to Parliament every month on the number of foreign nationals who have been deported, including those with criminal convictions, under changes to the government’s border bill pushed through by the Conservatives.
A slew of amendments to Bill C-12, including boosts to immigration enforcement, passed in a marathon meeting of the Commons public safety meeting on Tuesday evening, where MPs scrutinized the bill until midnight.
We can hope the number will not be zero …

There is every indication that Carney is as anti-oil as his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, despite all his talk of building an energy superpower
The federal government will do nothing to get a pipeline built. That much is clear from the advanced reports about what is in the MOU (memorandum of understanding) that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are expected to sign Thursday in Calgary.
Once Alberta has everything in place (constitutional, Indigenous, environmental, regulatory and financial), then the Carney government will consider giving the pipeline to their Major Projects Office (MPO).
The federal government has paid out at least $530 million in incentives to NextStar Energy, the company behind a major battery plant in Windsor, Ont., records show.
It’s a relatively small portion of the billion-dollar funding deals with NextStar, which is a joint venture between global automaker Stellantis and South Korean battery firm LG Energy Solution. The federal government is providing up to $10.5 billion, while the province has pledged up to $5.5 billion.
Still, the figure provides fresh insight into the financial and contractual relationships between the federal government and NextStar — relationships that have been the focus of intense scrutiny since Stellantis announced it’s moving production of a Jeep model from its Brampton facility to the U.S.
When he was about 22, a Jamaican national and Canadian permanent resident impregnated his 13-year-old stepsister. She said he forced himself onto her, he said he didn’t remember; you be the judge. She had a child. This happened in 2007, and in 2008 he was convicted of sexual interference and sentenced to five-and-a-half months.
Douglas Todd: Low-skill guest workers toil longer hours, with fewer absences, for less pay than Canadian domestic workers, which means wages go down for everyone, says a peer-reviewed study.
Rarely a week goes by without a small or large Canadian company declaring how desperate it is to hire foreign guest workers.
The country’s “labour shortage” is brutal, they say. Business survival is impossible without willing workers from offshore, complain the owners of hotels, fast-food restaurants, security firms, supermarket chains and construction companies.
Fact: Canada’s corporate class was given license by the Liberal government to flood the nation with cheap foreign labour.
They did so without care or concern that they were destroying your economic and social well being and that of your children.
All to satisfy their greed but Elbows Up eh?

The competition focused on each fighter jet’s capabilities in defending the North American continent and the likelihood of success in various missions against modern military forces.
The F-35 got a score of 95 per cent on military capabilities, with a total of 57.1 points out of 60.
By contrast, the Gripen-E finished with a score of 33 per cent, netting 19.8 points out of 60, according to the Department of National Defence (DND) ranking obtained by Radio-Canada.
Elbow People hardest hit.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday his recent reply to a question about the state of trade talks with the U.S. — “Who cares?” — amounted to “a poor choice of words.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hammered the prime minister over his comment during question period in the House of Commons Tuesday.
“Before the election he promised ‘elbows up.’ After, it was, ‘Who cares?’ Before the election, he said the tariffs were an ‘existential crisis.’ Now he says they’re not a burning issue,” Poilievre said.
He says stupid crap for the Elbow People who consider this sort of thing a mighty victory.
Members of Parliament from multiple parties slammed Stellantis on Tuesday for failing to show up to a committee hearing about the federal government’s multimillion-dollar funding deals with the global automaker.
“I am incredibly annoyed that Stellantis has not been able to join us,” said Vince Gasparro, the Liberal MP for Eglinton—Lawrence. “This is incredibly frustrating and […] at this point, unacceptable.”
A company executive was scheduled to appear by videoconference before the House of Commons’ government operations and estimates committee on Tuesday morning. But that executive, Teresa Piruzza, never showed up over the course of the nearly two-hour public meeting.
Is the Liberal party’s foreign policy no longer feminist? People have been asking the question all week, ever since Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday that, “We have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy. Those are different points, but related.”
He subsequently clarified that gender equality remains a priority for Canada, but that things like gender-based violence are “an issue of justice,” and that, “Different countries put a different priority on it.… But by discussing strategies and approaches, my experience is that I think that’s part of our policy, as well.”
A deficit, disdain, and deception — unmasking the true cost of Carney’s leadership.
Our Prime Minister, a citizen of three countries, squeezed time from his many planet saving roles to return to Canada and fulfill his manifest destiny of leading the country in which he was born. Many recognized the dilemma — on one hand, a globalist propagating the fantasy of net zero — in his words — “will require a whole economy transition — every company, every bank, every insurer, and investor will have to adjust their business models.” His affinities, as Director of the World Economic Forum and several important roles with the United Nations, driven by a belief in net zero, are anathema to his “build Canada” theme.
Funny that his long held beliefs and objectives were mostly unmentioned during the leadership and general election campaigns. But he has now played his hand, and the examples abound.
