Shameless Plug for Gord Magill’s new book ‘End of the Road’. Buy a copy and upset Mark Carney’s New World Order.
And of course the we need to hear from Tamara and Big Red on the only Canadian news source with any integrity.
Canada’s spiraling extortion crisis targeting Indo-Canadian communities is being driven by international organized crime that has exploited a whole industry of designated learning institutes and immigration consultant shops through massive fraud, coercing vulnerable student migrants into serving in extortion squads that are terrorizing families and businesses, with brazen shootings now occurring on a near daily basis in Surrey, B.C., the epicenter of a national security threat now spreading through communities in Toronto, Edmonton, and Winnipeg, The Bureau’s investigations have revealed.
Blacklock’s- Act Quicker To Hide Records
Federal managers have issued new guidelines for concealing records effective January 26 including permanent deletion of chat posts within 15 days. The policy follows Prime Minister Mark Carney’s election pledge that Access To Information was “quite important.”
“What’s changing?” read a notice issued by managers in one department, Veterans Affairs. “Teams channels including private messages deleted after one year. Teams chats including Copilot messages deleted after 15 days, currently deleted after 30 days. Outlook deleted items: emails permanently deleted after 30 days in the deleted items folder.”
Don’t think they won’t do it again.

The Department of Canadian Heritage briefing for Minister Marc Miller describes certain population segments as disengaged from federal communications, positioning the CBC as a vital pillar for fostering social cohesion and promoting approved themes. Critics, including the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and conservative voices, call it proof of the broadcaster acting as a taxpayer-funded propaganda tool, with nearly $2 billion in annual support. While polls show majority support for keeping the CBC, trust lags among conservatives amid low viewership and bias claims; the CBC recently added 33 local journalists across 77 communities.

[…] No progress on tariffs imposed on Canadian pork, canola, and seafood exports to China, according to @CTVNews
Serious question: Did PM Carney actually meet with China’s President Xi?
I haven’t seen any footage during this trip showing both leaders in the same room.
@RobertFife – China propaganda mouthpiece tells @MarkJCarney to be subservient to Beijing
I like Jeff Snider’s podcasts and in this one he spends the first half talking about Canadian real estate investment funds that are starting to restrict payouts. Given that Canadian real estate values are crashing, if they don’t halt outflows the funds could quickly become insolvent. The Bloomberg article he quotes is behind a paywall, but he conveniently scrolls through it so you can read the whole thing.

Blacklock’s- Cuts Are Five Percent, Not 10
Federal agencies yesterday outlined payroll cuts that were half the 10 percent stated by Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Budget Office had sought the figure for months.
“There is a lack of detail regarding the impact on individual programs within each organization including the reduction in personnel and potential service level impacts,” said a Budget Office report. “It is unclear if or when the government plans to publish this information or how it will report on the progress and results of the exercise.”
Dan Knight- Canada’s Labour Market Starts to Crack
The most important number isn’t jobs created. It’s people who couldn’t find work. In December, the number of unemployed Canadians jumped by 73,000 in a single month. The unemployment rate rose from 6.5 per cent in November to 6.8 per cent. That move alone wipes out much of the progress made in the fall and tells you the labour market isn’t tightening. It’s loosening.
More evidence of Canadian exceptionalism. But not something to cheer about.
The unemployment rate rose to 6.8 per cent in December, StatCan said, up from 6.5 per cent in November.
What’s really notable is where the losses are occurring:
The professional, scientific and technical services sector meanwhile shed 18,000 positions to end the year, and the accommodation and food services industry also faced losses.
You will live in a pod and eat bugs.
…the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is moving forward with expanded identification and traceability regulations that will require farmers and ranchers to report livestock movements in significantly greater detail. These rules were first proposed in 2023. Conservatives opposed them then, and they oppose them now, because they add new regulatory costs at a moment when households are already being asked to absorb higher food prices and producers are operating under documented financial strain.
(A point repeatedly missed by commentators who write on food prices: commercial beef is sold at auction. Like most western Canadian commodities, there’s no mechanism for producers to recover expenses because they don’t set the price, and their regulatory costs aren’t passed along to the consumer directly.)
John Barlow, the Conservative agriculture critic, released a statement warning that these regulations add yet another layer of red tape onto producers who are already being crushed by higher fuel costs, higher energy prices, labour shortages, drought, and regulatory overload. These aren’t large multinational corporations. These are family farms, ranchers, and community-based agricultural groups trying to survive.[…]
Indeed: The same dysfunctional @liberal_party that has ‘misplaced’ millions of TFW’s, Int’l students, uninvited immigrants etc., and DON’T CARE about finding & sending them home …. Now wants to pinpoint & track EVERY f*kin cow in the food chain??
Farmers would be required to track and report routine livestock movements that were previously informal or community-based, including movements tied to agricultural fairs, 4-H events, rodeos, and local exhibitions.
Those groups have been very clear about what this means. It means more paperwork, more compliance costs, more liability, and fewer events. It threatens youth programs, rural traditions, and the local economies that depend on them. This isn’t theory, these organizations told regulators directly that they may not be able to continue operating under the new rules.

Dan Knight- New StatsCan Survey Shows Canadians Losing Faith in Parliament and Media
…just 28.3% of Canadians say they have high confidence (ratings of 4 or 5 out of 5) in Federal Parliament. That’s not a typo. Fewer than three in ten Canadians trust the institution that claims to represent them. Even worse, 40% report low confidence—the highest level of distrust recorded for any major institution measured.
Only 36.2% of Canadians say they have high confidence in the media, while nearly 30% express outright low confidence. Among men, distrust is even sharper, reflecting a growing perception that legacy outlets function less as watchdogs and more as enforcement arms for a narrow ideological consensus. Canadians see the bias. They see the omissions. And they are no longer buying what’s being sold.
National Post- Federal government confirms 25 guns collected in ‘buyback’ pilot,
Public Safety Canada, the department overseeing the program, had, up until Wednesday, only signed two agreements with local jurisdictions whose police agreed to collect firearms to be turned over by gun owners under the controversial program. Those services were in Winnipeg and Cape Breton, the latter of which helped the federal government pilot a test-run of the program, set to be rolled out nationally sometime this month.
