Carney bets on more critical minerals mining, electricity and liquified natural gas in latest batch of major projects

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Thursday that his government is sending more critical minerals mining, clean electricity, and a liquefied natural gas project to a new federal office designed to streamline the regulatory approvals process.

Speaking in Terrance, B.C., he announced that six more projects would be forwarded to the Major Projects Office, saying they met the government’s criteria of what constituted “nation-building” efforts to spur development and attract billions more in private investment, which the prime minister said would lead to new jobs.

McTEAGUE: Liberal’s green spending putting Canada on a road to ruin

Once upon a time, Canadians were known for our prudence and good sense to such an extent that even our Liberal Party wore the mantle of fiscal responsibility.

Whatever else you might want to say about the party in the era of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, it recognized the country’s dire financial situation — back when The Wall Street Journal was referring to Canada as “an honorary member of the Third World” — as a national crisis.

Relative of Muammar Gaddafi given a new chance to stay in Canada due to uncle’s close bond with dead Libyan dictator

A relative of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has been given another chance to remain in Canada by arguing he was much closer to the brutal authoritarian regime than immigration officials thought he was.

Seraj Essaadi El Ferjani Ahmed, a citizen of Libya, has been in Canada since 2017 and appears to be the nephew of a notorious member of Gaddafi’s inner circle, a man so loyal he was fleeing with Gaddafi when the leader was caught by rebels in 2011 and killed.

Internal Emails Show Immigration Officials Cautioned Against Mentioning ‘Free’ Health Care in Controversial Post

Immigration department staff have been cautioned against describing Canada’s health-care system as “free” in social media posts encouraging people to immigrate to Canada, according to internal emails.

October social media posts from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) read, “Thinking about moving to Canada? Did you know Canada has public health care? Learn how it works, who can get it and what services are covered.”

Geoff Russ: Canada desperately needs to find its ‘we’ again

The classical liberal John Stuart Mill once warned that “free institutions are next to impossible in a country made up of different nationalities.” He wrote that, without a “united public opinion,” representative government lacked the common sympathies and culture required for it to work properly. He added that even entities like the army would cease to identify with the people and become another branch of the state.

Liberty’s better theorists have always presumed a “we,” and Canada needs to find its “we” again.


There can be no “we” in a nation subjected to the abuse of it’s culture, values and heritage by the heinous immigration scam orchestrated by Canada’s so called “elites”.

Creating a Youth Climate Corps could be Carney’s FDR moment … or not

Being raised in Canada taught me two enduring lessons: To care for the environment, and to contribute meaningfully to public life.

That’s why in 2023, when an unexpected call from the White House came in, I stepped forward. I was appointed by president Joe Biden, and within months began work on the historic American Climate Corps program.

In his first budget, Prime Minister Mark Carney has proposed a similar climate corps for Canada – a bold, consequential, nation-building program with deep roots and a rich legacy dating back nearly 100 years. This is exactly the kind of generational investment that young people need.


Sounds like a job application.

Carney gov’t committed to Trudeau’s economy killing eco-loon policies

These children were jailed for coal scavenging under the Carney government’s eco-laws.

Canada’s new environment minister and Environment and Climate Change officials confirmed that the federal government is standing by the national climate targets previously set under Justin Trudeau.

On several occasions, Environment and Climate Change Minister Julie Dabrusin was asked about whether the current Liberal government was still committed to working toward the near-term targets set under the previous prime minister, particularly the 2035 emissions target.

Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 45 per cent below 2005 by that timeline.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Don’t fall for Carney’s ‘Buy Canadian’ fallacy

Protectionists, start your engines. On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a “Buy Canadian” procurement policy that prioritizes Canadian suppliers for all manner of federal spending, including a second set of national “major projects” he’s announcing on Thursday. “We will build Canadian, by becoming our own best customer,” Carney intoned. Ottawa will allocate nearly $186 million in new funding to the policy, including “streamlined support for Canadian small and medium-sized businesses trying to break into the federal market.”

BERNARDO: Carney’s firearms fiasco: Punish the law-abiding while criminals run wild

In the last two weeks of October 2025, criminal violence with illegal guns has reached a fever pitch, which exposes (yet again) the stark hypocrisy of federal Liberal firearms policy.

While Mark Carney’s Liberal government pours hundreds of millions into a useless Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme that only targets licenced owners — hunters, sport shooters, and rural residents — violent crime involving smuggled illegal guns surges unchecked.

Mark Carney is already struggling with Justin Trudeau’s immigration legacy

The queue to immigrate to Canada has always been long.

Like a competitive university, Canada has always had more applicants than places. Like a competitive university, Canada developed processes, notably the points system, to decide which applicants to prioritize, and which to sideline.

And like a competitive university, the applicants queued up and competed for admission from outside the fence. Applicants to Harvard aren’t already at Harvard. Applicants to immigrate to Canada were not already in Canada.

Canada issued 9,995 permits to Indian students from Jan-Aug — compared to 76,930 last year

Data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) shows that the number of international student permits issued to Indian applicants has fallen by more than 93 per cent in the last two years.

According to data received by National Post, there were a total of 9,955 permits approved for applicants from India between January and the end of August this year. That compares to 149,875 in the same period in 2023, and 76,930 in that period last year.


We have an unwanted surplus making the correct number of permits issued ZERO.

Mark Carney’s promise on housing was to build build build. What happened?

This week’s federal Budget sends a signal to Canadians that the government’s thinking on housing has evolved. Instead of trying to increase housing supply, it is placing greater emphasis on reducing housing demand.

The promises made in the Liberal platform to build more have been watered down: housing targets are being softened, and the government has adopted a hard line on immigration, making a direct linkage between population growth and housing shortages.


Immigration remains unsustainably high and while a downturn in housing demand is occurring a pronounced shortage is expected in 2 years or so.

Mark Carney is flooding the zone. This is what he could be trying to distract us from

MAGA strategist Stephen K. Bannon calls it “flooding the zone.” U.S. President Donald Trump demonstrated it in his first weeks back in office, when he introduced over 100 Executive Orders. Regardless of their legal viability, the sheer volume of policy changes is the point. It is a political strategy to overwhelm institutions, courts and social groups, preventing effective opposition.

In Canada, we are witnessing our own version of “flooding the zone” from new Prime Minister Mark Carney, in coordination with provincial and territorial premiers.


The Star is harsh.

Wraychel Gilmore: A Carney budget for everyone? Not this group – and they are key to our future

Our 2025 federal budget is 493 pages long. The word ‘youth’ appears only eight times. The term ‘child’ appears only six. More than seven million Canadians under the age of 18 who access government services across multiple sectors such as justice, policing, education, national training initiatives, and health care, have somehow been forgotten about in Ottawa.

References to children and youth in this budget are limited to the most extreme efforts of protection or survival. Or, they are mentioned in terms of being the third-party catalyst to dollars that incentivize or assist adults.


Wraychel Gilmore??!!??

The Star is not happy. Carney don’t care about no kids no how anyway.
