In recent interviews with Joe Rogan and Fox News, FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that Vancouver has become a global hub for fentanyl production and export—part of a transnational network linking Chinese Communist Party-associated suppliers and Mexican drug cartels, and exploiting systemic weaknesses in Canada’s border enforcement. “What they’re doing now … is they’re shipping that stuff not straight [into the United States],” Patel told Rogan, citing classified intelligence. “They’re having the Mexican cartels now make this fentanyl down in Mexico still, but instead of going right up the southern border and into America, they’re flying it into Vancouver. They’re taking the precursors up to Canada, manufacturing it up there, and doing their global distribution routes from up there because we’ve been so effective down south.”
His comments prompted a public response from B.C. Premier David Eby’s top cop, Solicitor General Garry Begg, who disputed the scale of the allegations.[…]
But a diplomatic letter obtained exclusively by The Bureau supports the view that high-level U.S. concerns—nearly identical to Patel’s—were privately raised by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken two years earlier.
[…]
According to The Bureau’s reporting, Blinken described growing frustration among U.S. federal agencies over Canada’s legal and enforcement deficiencies. He pointed to what American officials saw as systemic obstacles in Canadian law that made it difficult to act on intelligence involving fentanyl production, chemical precursor shipments, and laundering operations tied to cartel and CCP-linked actors.
West told The Bureau that the U.S. government was alarmed that a major money laundering investigation in British Columbia—targeting the notorious Sam Gor synthetic narcotics syndicate, which collaborates with Mexican cartels in Western Hemisphere fentanyl trafficking and money laundering, according to U.S. experts—had collapsed in Canadian court proceedings. The Bureau has confirmed with a Canadian police veteran that this investigation originated from U.S. government intelligence.
West, a vocal critic of Canada’s handling of transnational organized crime, said U.S. agencies had begun withholding sensitive intelligence, citing a lack of confidence in Canada’s ability—or willingness—to act on it.

Want to build anything in Canada?
Better check with the climate gods first.Under the Liberals, Net Zero comes before energy, jobs, or common sense.
Canada won’t lead in anything but decline unless this ends.
Call a non-confidence vote NOW.

Just send the referendum to the printers already.
In mid-May, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would support “just doing one pipe,” but only if there was “consensus.”
When he was asked this week in Saskatoon about whether his vision for “nation-building projects” included an oil pipeline, he said that any such project would need to be filled with “decarbonized” barrels of oil — a term that seemed to confuse environmentalists and oil advocates alike.”

Dan Knight- Debt Costs Now Outpace Canada’s Core Services
The federal government is planning to spend $486.9 billion this year. Nearly half a trillion dollars. Of that, $222.9 billion needs Parliament’s approval. The rest? $264 billion is already baked in. It’s called “statutory spending,” and it’s automatic. No debate. No vote. No accountability. Ottawa wrote itself a blank cheque—and keeps cashing it, year after year.
Now here’s the headline no one wants to talk about: $49.1 billion of that spending goes just to service the debt.

ArriveCan Has Now Been Confirmed to be ArriveScam
Company that worked on ArriveCan app barred from government contracts for 7 years:
Ottawa says it has banned the largest contractor that worked on the ArriveCan app from entering into contracts or real property agreements with the government for seven years.
Public Services and Procurement Canada has announced that GC Strategies Inc. has been deemed “ineligible” after an assessment of the supplier’s conduct.
Last year, the department suspended the security status of GC Strategies, which the auditor general says was awarded more than $19 million for the project.
For those not aware, the first ArriveCan contract was initially valued at just $2.35 million, but then ballooned to $60 million. And the elbows-up crowd gleefully voted for more of the same!

“The foreign registry was something all MPs in the previous Parliament across party lines worked to expedite,” said New Democrat MP Jenny Kwan. “But to date that Act has not yet been enacted.

“It is essential not to contribute to increased oil and coal production and to focus on renewable and transition energies.” – Marc André Blanchard, Mark Carney’s new Chief of Staff
New Governor, Same As The Old Governor
Liberal Leader Mark Carney says it’s not necessary to protect Canada’s supply management system through binding legislation.
The stance puts him at odds with his party’s position less than two years ago, when the vast majority of Liberal MPs voted for a bill that would have protected the supply-managed dairy, egg and poultry markets from future trade concessions.
May 30, 2025: Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday endorsed a Bloc Québécois dairy bill opposed by free trade farmers as protectionist.
Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa
A federal watchdog agency says an active overseas clandestine spy service operation was abruptly halted by a top adviser to former prime minister Justin Trudeau, a decision it says needlessly put CSIS officers in danger.
In a report released Thursday, the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, or NSIRA, said it had investigated a 2022 Canadian Security Intelligence Service operation that was suspended before later being authorized to proceed.
NSIRA said the national security and intelligence adviser to the prime minister at the time stopped the “active operation,” a measure that “created unnecessary danger for the CSIS team,” according to its heavily redacted report.
The 43-page report from NSIRA, an independent body that oversees federal intelligence agencies, provides a rare glimpse inside the political oversight of intelligence operations.
Jody Thomas, a former deputy minister of national defence, was national security adviser in 2022.
NSIRA said the decision to halt the operation was not made by then-CSIS director David Vigneault, and there was no written record that then-public safety minister Marco Mendicino had stopped it. Those two would have been the only ones with statutory authority to approve, reject or halt operations. […]
Ms. Thomas told The Globe and Mail on Thursday that NSIRA had not reached out to get her side of what had transpired. She said she was asking questions about the operation on behalf of many parts of government, including the departments of Global Affairs and Public Safety.
She said she didn’t personally halt the operation.

National Post- The first Carney spending numbers are out, and they’re as bad Trudeau’s
The Main Estimates suggest that message of restraint fell on deaf ears in Ottawa: total budgeted spending is scheduled to rise 7.75 per cent to $486.9 billion this fiscal year across 130 federal organizations (compared to last year’s Main Estimates). The government will ask Parliament to vote on $222.9 billion of spending measures, a 14 per cent increase on last year’s estimates.
The most egregious spending appears to be on consultants.
