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?
Foreign tourists to pay $100 ‘America-first’ fee for national parks
Millions of tourists from around the world flock to Arizona every year to see the Grand Canyon’s red rock formations. But from January, international visitors will have to cash out an extra $100 to tour the Unesco world heritage site.

The Sudden Danger of Sanctuary City Policies
So, for several years now, cities such as Chicago have been leaning quite a bit on sanctuary policies, in an effort to keep undocumented immigrants safe from deportation based on their immigration status.

Deportations to be reported to Parliament each month under Conservative changes to border bill
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.

Boo Hoo! Here’s how much the cuts to Canada’s international students have hurt Ontario colleges and universities
Ontario colleges and universities have been hit with more than $4.6 billion in lost revenues amid the drastic cuts to international students, new post-secondary figures obtained by the Star show.
And with Ottawa just announcing even fewer foreign students for 2026, for universities alone the impact is expected to increase from the $2.1 billion blow they are already dealing with.
The new numbers have the province’s universities now warning they “cannot cut their way out of these growing fiscal challenges.”
Boo Hoo. The bill for greed and incompetence has come due.
Alberta and Ottawa strike sweeping deal to boost oil exports, scrap federal caps and push oil to Asia
Alberta and Ottawa have signed a sweeping new energy accord that Premier Danielle Smith says marks a “new starting point for nation building,” including a pledge from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government to shelve its oil and gas emissions cap, suspend clean power rules, and back a major indigenous-owned pipeline to get oil to Asian markets.
The agreement, signed Wednesday, clears the way for a privately financed, indigenous co-owned bitumen pipeline capable of moving more than one million barrels per day to a deep-water port on the Pacific coast.
