Spiking food bank usage is yet another indicator of Canada’s weakening economy

This week, Food Banks Canada graded the federal government a “D” for its efforts at addressing skyrocketing food insecurity and poverty among Canadians amidst a weakening economy. The 2025 Poverty Report Card indicates a growing number of employed Canadians are impoverished, and provides data that further suggests Canada may be veering into a recession, or already experiencing one.

Navy still struggling to fill recruitment gaps throughout the service: vice-admiral

OTTAWA – Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee says the Royal Canadian Navy is “not out of the woods” yet on its recruitment crisis and the next four to five years are going to be “really hard.”

It’s been two years since Topshee, commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, posted a video online warning that recruitment was in a “critical state” and the service was facing “very serious challenges” that “could mean we fail to meet our force posture and readiness commitments.”

When Trump came to town

Not even the twactivists of Led By Donkeys or the Stop Trump coalition could ruin the president’s state visit.

Donald Trump became the first sitting US president to enjoy a second full state visit to the UK. And by comparison with his first, way back in 2019, this time around was considerably less marred or, if you prefer, enlivened, by activist interventions.

What do we do with a generation that refuses to marry?

What will this country look like in twenty years?  Let’s take a look at a new poll of Gen Z explained by David Strom:

Gen Z voters who went for Harris, regardless of sex, value a fulfilling career as the most important thing they can achieve. That, and having enough money to have fun, are their top priorities. Marriage and family barely merit a mention.

Gen Z voters who went for Trump? They care more about families and financial security. And, in an interesting twist, it is men who voted for Trump who care most about having kids.

Gen Z men who voted for Trump placed having children as their most important marker for a good life; Gen Z women who voted for Harris placed it at #12.

Jimmy Kimmel Martyr Brigades Carries Out First Attack on TV Station

Politics is changing all the time. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll need a guide to explain why a retired teachers’ union legislative director is shooting up an ABC TV affiliate.

The short version is leftist politics is not only a mental illness, it’s a terrorist training pipeline. A month ago, the gentleman in question presumably would not have been thinking about shooting up his local ABC TV affiliate.

MORGAN: We can’t afford government-built housing

Mark Carney’s $13 billion housing initiative highlights everything that’s wrong with the Canadian system and why things won’t be improving under the Carney government.

To begin with, it proves Carney’s claims that he will streamline the government and reduce the bureaucracy to be hollow. The Trudeau government nearly doubled the civil service over 10 years. Carney has implied the growth was unsustainable and that he will get the bloat under control. Then he announces a new agency which will employ hundreds if not thousands of new civil servants. Not one of which will swing a hammer to help build a home.

Was Kirk ‘Divisive’—or Did He Simply Say What Millions Believe?

Charlie Kirk’s critics branded him “divisive,” but his defense of common-sense values made him a unifying voice for millions—until the Left sought to silence him.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is exercised that Charlie Kirk once said that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was “a mistake.”

Rep. Bennie Thompson sees AOC’s charge and raises it: “The fact is,” he said in an official statement, “Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive, disparaging, and too often rooted in grievance. The beliefs he evangelized normalized fringe views on race, sex, and immigration. Unfortunately, his rhetoric resurrected dangerous prejudices of a dark past.”

Université de Sherbrooke keeps medical student despite alleged antisemitic, homophobic posts

The Université de Sherbrooke is sticking to its decision to admit a student to its medical school despite mounting concerns by parents and Jewish doctors’ groups over social media posts he is alleged to have made that were antisemitic, homophobic and sexist — and despite the fact Quebec’s lieutenant-governor has now stripped him of a youth medal over the controversy.

Interest from U.S. doctors looking to work in Canada has spiked but few have made the move

The passing thought of moving to Canada from the United States because of its political climate became an active idea for physician Libby Fleming when, in 2022, the constitutional right to abortion was overturned south of the border.

She had a planned trip to Costa Rica later that summer but cancelled it, booking a plane ticket to Nova Scotia instead. The Atlantic province was a bucket-list destination for her. It was also actively recruiting foreign physicians to address a country-wide shortage of doctors.

Carney recognizes Palestinian state

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada’s formal recognition of a Palestinian state on Sunday, just ahead of his arrival in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Carney said in a statement that the Netanyahu government’s expansionist policies forced him to reverse Canada’s longstanding policy of waiting for a two-state solution to be achieved via a negotiated settlement.

“The current Israeli government is working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established … It is in this context that Canada recognises the State of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of a peaceful future for both the State of Palestine and the State of Israel,” wrote Carney.

GUNTER: Federal housing program reveals Carney government’s magical thinking

Last weekend, Ana Bailão, a longtime member of Toronto city council, took up her job as the first CEO of Build Canada Homes (BCH), the Carney government’s new bureaucracy tasked with doubling the number of homes built annually across the country.

Put aside for a minute the wisdom of appointing a longtime councillor from the city with the second-highest housing prices in the country, and forget for a second that Bailão chaired Toronto city council’s affordable housing committee during the years in which Toronto witnessed some of its worst inflation in housing prices.
