Ahead of the federal election, top executives in Canada’s oil and gas industry say they are pleased to hear support for building new export pipelines from the two leading parties. However, Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s stance on this issue has been branded “inconsistent” and “purposefully vague” by CEOs and leading industry figures.
Canada’s federal election is set for April 28. A Leger poll earlier this week found 52 per cent see Carney’s Liberals winning, compared to 27 per cent favouring Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
Almost 20 years ago, Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper asserted Canada was an energy superpower. Under Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government, the narrative was not about flexing our energy muscles, but on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and shifting to green energy.
And then along came Donald Trump. The U.S. President has driven home to Canadians the importance of Canada’s oil-and-gas sector. His administration has implemented tariffs on aluminum, steel and the automotive sector, but oil and gas was left alone. This drove home to Canadians the importance of the oil and gas sector – not just to the Canadian economy, but to the American economy, as well.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is making a plea to Canadians today to give his party an influential role in Parliament and not reward either the Conservatives or Liberals with a majority government where they hold all the power.
“Ottawa works best when there’s someone there to hold the powerful to account,” Singh said Friday at the Broadbent Institute’s annual conference.
The institute is a social democratic think tank formed by former federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent and its annual Progress Summit is falling this year in the third week of the federal election campaign.
A new poll shows Jagmeet Singh losing his seat by MASSIVE margins to the Conservatives
All the scrutiny and questions may be getting a bit too much for Mark Carney as he suspends his campaign for a third time.
Carney has clearly been irritated and put his “elbows up” after being questioned about a number of controversies swirling around him. Among the recent issues that have put Carney under a glaring spotlight have been: why Brookfield Asset Management used a Bermud a bike shop as a tax haven while he was an executive at the firm; whether his previous jobs create a conflict-of-interest for him and whether he met a pro-Beijing lobbying group in Toronto, as reported in the Globe and Mail on Thursday.
Saskatchewan is the province that wants to leave Canada the most if Liberals win the upcoming election in Canada, a new poll finds.
Around 33 per cent of residents from the central prairie province “say they would vote to leave federation, whether to form their own country or to join the United States,” if Liberals form the next government, according to the survey by nonprofit Angus Reid Institute.
On July 19, 2022, the Canadian government set up the National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools, Missing Children and Unmarked Burials to investigate the alleged abuse and murder of Indian children by Christian missionaries and school teachers between 1880 and 1996. National fury erupted in 2015 with the claim that 215 burial sites had been discovered at the Kamloops Indian Residential School by ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scans. The monostory of indigenous suffering and “settler” guilt had to be fixed in technical readouts and funerary stone. Predictably, the allegation proved to be false.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s former firm Brookfield has registered more than a dozen business entities to an infamous address in the Cayman Islands that former U.S. president Barack Obama once described as either “the largest building in the world or the largest tax scam in the world.”
CTV News reviewed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings between 2015 and 2024 that show the global investment firm registered limited companies and limited partnerships to a five-storey building in the capital of the self-governing British Overseas Territory.
That building is known as Ugland House, and is home to at least 18,000 corporate entities. The Cayman Islands charges no income or corporate taxes.
As Canadians flex their patriotic muscles and hold “elbows up” in response to punishing U.S. tariffs, many might be surprised that another economic crisis has been percolating here for years — from inside the country.
It effectively dropped Canada into recession months ago, has left us as poor as the residents of Alabama and is so dire, the usually circumspect Bank of Canada warned it’s time to “break the glass” and sound the emergency.
For this at least, U.S President Donald Trump can’t be blamed.
The team from the National Citizens Coalition is in Ottawa this week at the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference, the largest conservative gathering of its kind east of the Calgary Stampede, and to describe the mood as tense might be an understatement.
With less than three weeks until Election Day, the more trustworthy polls dead-locked, and the Liberal-paid push-polls showing them lapping the field, business leaders, broadcasters, third-party advocates, and energy champions such as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe have made the trip to put in vital advocacy and organizing hours, to ensure the clock is able to strike midnight on a lost Liberal decade.
The Trudeau government pushed the carbon tax as the best way to help the environment and reduce emissions.
But it’s clear a carbon tax in Canada wouldn’t be effective at lowering global emissions. That’s because Canada only makes up 1.4 per cent of global emissions, a fact former prime minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged.
“Even if Canada stopped everything tomorrow, and the other countries didn’t have any solutions, it wouldn’t make a big difference,” Trudeau said in 2018.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says a re-elected Liberal government will move forward with new regulations targeting harmful online content, marking a third attempt to legislate internet speech in Canada.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Carney made the comments during a campaign rally in Hamilton, after being interrupted by hecklers.

On Wednesday, I appeared in a segment on CBC’s The National about a trend I’ve been tracking closely for the past year: the noticeable shift of young Canadian men toward conservative politics. The piece, titled “They’re young, male and swinging conservative,” dives into the changing political preferences among young men and explores what’s driving them.
During the interview, I shared recent Abacus Data polling showing how young men—especially those under 35—are increasingly skeptical of progressive politics and more open to the messages coming from Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party. Economic anxiety, frustration with housing affordability, and a feeling that progressive discourse doesn’t include or even welcomes them—these are recurring themes in our data.
Young people in general do not turn out to vote maybe this time will be different but I would not hold my breath.
There is no question that the Liberal party through mass immigration and pernicious economic policy have destroyed any hope for a generation of Canadians.
