VANCOUVER, Canada — In a sweeping new effort to map elite influence and Beijing’s corrosive political incursions in Canada, two human rights advocacy groups from Hong Kong and mainland China immigrant communities have published a series of striking visual charts connecting decades of Canadian prime ministers and business leaders to entities linked with the Chinese Communist Party, including its powerful United Front apparatus.
President Donald Trump’s tariff bomb blew up Wall Street like the 1987 Black Monday crash — but what if there’s a method to the madness?
I’m not talking 9-D Vulcan laser chess here, but maybe an escape hatch from a sinking ship. Even if the escape itself is on fire.
It was the end of a long day, but Pierre Poilievre had more energy in the evening than in the morning.
“Wow, what a wonderful crowd,” the Conservative Leader said in Oshawa, Ont., as he quickly stepped onto a two-foot-high platform in an airplane hangar and went into his slogans.
“Who’s ready to axe some taxes?” he said at the Thursday rally. “Who’s ready to put Canada first for a change?”
A professional women’s pool tournament has been hit by protests after the final was contested by two transgender players.
Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith faced off in the Ultimate Pool Women’s Pro Series Event 2 at Robin Park Leisure Centre in Wigan on Sunday, having each beaten four female-born opponents.
You could describe this election as a battle between the angry millennials and the anxious boomers. Two generations voting in the same election, on different issues, and both going against type.
In most elections in Canada, older voters cast their ballots for more conservative-leaning parties while younger voters traditionally cast their ballots for parties with liberal sensibilities.
The 2025 election looks like it will be one that flips that on its head.
Fearing legal repercussions, online harassment and professional consequences, student journalists are retracting their names from published articles amid intensifying repression by the Trump administration targeting students perceived to be associated with the pro-Palestinian movement.
Editors at university newspapers say that anxiety among writers has risen since the arrest of Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, who is currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention fighting efforts to deport her. While the government has not pointed to evidence supporting its decision to revoke her visa, she wrote an op-ed last year in a student newspaper critical of Israel, spurring fears that simply expressing views in writing is now viewed as sufficient grounds for deportation.
I’m all busted up about this.
Premier Doug Ford has unveiled $11 billion in tax deferment and rebate measures to offset damage caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.
“In the face of President Trump’s attacks on Ontario’s economy, our government will do whatever it takes to protect Ontario workers and businesses,” Ford said in a statement Monday.
“Today’s measures will help give workers and businesses the support they need in the face of growing economic uncertainty,” the premier said.
Isolated young British Muslims ‘becoming national security risk’
Isolated young British Muslims are becoming “a national security risk”, a senior Islamic figure has said.
The Gaza conflict has deepened divisions between Muslims and non-Muslims, which could allow extremism to grow on both sides, according to Sheikh Dr Muhammad bin Abdulkarim al-Issa, the Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL).
What Bullshit. Islam does not do integration.
Why are younger Canadians more susceptible to Trump and the lure of the 51st state?
What started as a joke is no laughing matter now. U.S. President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again threats to impose tariffs on Canadian exports are more than a warning shot across the national bow. They also mask something far more ominous.
The “Make America Great Again” movement has been exposed as a bellicose and surreal new version of American imperialism. Tightening border controls on drugs and migrants may turn out to be little more than appeasement if his real agenda is continental economic dominance and making Canada the 51st state.
New vulnerabilities are surfacing. While most polls suggest the vast majority of Canadian adults are resolute in resisting any such takeover, the younger generation (18-35) is much more inclined – given certain favourable terms – to join the United States. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be susceptible to Trump and his appeals.
Can’t buy a home or rent one, cheap foreign labour cuts your wages, can’t see a doctor because our healthcare system is overwhelmed by a 3rd world migrant tidal wave.
Mark Carney promises to continue the Liberal Party’s reign of abuse. Why has the media gone radio silent about Carney’s Mass-Immigration henchman Mark Wiseman?

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre was discharged from a hospital Monday — nearly a week after saying she had just days to live after a crash with a school bus.
The 41-year-old mom was released following a six-day stint at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, the West Australian reported.
Under Mark Carney’s leadership, global investment firm Brookfield was accused of breaching Indigenous rights or harming the environment in at least four countries, CBC Indigenous has found.
Carney, who is running for prime minister as Liberal leader, spent more than four years as vice chair and then chair at Brookfield Asset Management, where he focused on green investing and renewable energy.
During that period from 2020 to 2024, Brookfield businesses faced reports of serious human rights abuses in Brazil, Indigenous resistance in Colombia, a First Nation’s $100-million lawsuit in Ontario and an environmental dispute in Maine.
US President Donald Trump has defended sweeping tariffs on imports that sent shockwaves through global stock markets, saying “sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something”.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One late on Sunday, he said jobs and investment would return to the US to make it “wealthy like never before”.
Trump’s top officials stressed that the tariffs – announced last week – would be implemented as planned, playing down recession fears.
I see the so-called stock market meltdown as nothing more than an orchestrated temper tantrum by our threatened elites.
German MEP Christine Anderson recently shared her perspective on the hidden forces shaping global governance. “I don’t know who’s truly behind it,” she admitted. “It’s not Ursula von der Leyen—she isn’t making decisions.

Amid the turbulent Donald Trump presidency, many American scholars are considering relocating abroad, including to Canada. Some here view this potential influx as a “brain gain” for the country, but others worry it could exacerbate existing problems in the post-secondary system.
Critics argue that the arrival of U.S. talent could limit job opportunities for Canadian academics and intensify challenges like underfunding, program cuts and faculty layoffs. They warn that while attracting top scholars may be beneficial, it could hinder the development of Canada’s own academic and research capacities.
It means they get worse. Hard as it is to believe that’s even possible.
US President Donald Trump’s advisers have defended sweeping tariffs on imports and vowed to stay the course, despite market turmoil and calls to avoid a trade war.
In a series of television interviews, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent played down recent stock market falls and Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, insisted reciprocal tariffs would be implemented as planned.
Bessent said there was “no reason” to expect a recession as a result of the turmoil. “This is an adjustment process,” he said.
Here is Carney admitting he’s a carpetbagger.

Should Canada build a spy service to gather foreign intelligence via human sources?
It’s a question worth asking as the country faces an increasingly unstable relationship with its next-door neighbour, from which Canada has long relied upon to glean key intelligence.
Stephanie Carvin, a former national security analyst for the federal government, says it’s “something we should consider,” or at least have a debate on — and she’s not alone in advocating for Canada to assess how it can boost its foreign-intelligence efforts.
