National Post- The wild overreach contained in the Liberals’ new border control bill
It outlaws paying cash for anything costing more than $10,000
But wait there’s more…
In short, Bill C-2 would allow law enforcement to force internet companies to turn over user data without a warrant.
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.
Now that the Ontario government has conceded the moral high ground to the enemies of progress, one can expect these critical projects to flounder endlessly. If any protests arise, don’t expect any bank accounts to get frozen either.
Road, rail and mine blockades could be on the horizon, First Nations leaders said Monday, as they ratchet up pressure on the Ontario government to kill a proposed bill that seeks to speed up large mining projects in the north.
Provincial ministers, meanwhile, said they heard the outcry and will make improvements to Bill 5, but stopped short of suggesting they would eliminate it outright.
National Post- Closures of B.C. parks to non-Indigenous visitors a sign of things to come
A year ago in these pages, I criticized land acknowledgements for implying that non-Indigenous Canadians are “uninvited guests” in their own country. Now, the B.C. government has embraced these labels.
To the applause of her colleagues, NDP MLA Rohini Arora stood in the legislature earlier this month, encouraging non-Indigenous British Columbians to describe themselves as a “settler,” “colonizer” and “uninvited guest” living on “Indigenous land.”
It’s not surprising that Quebecers want lower gas prices too. What is also not surprising is this bizarre statement from Francois Legault on the subject of pipelines. It is safe to assume that in a more “dogmatic” world, Quebec would be okay with losing money? Why would a culture think that way in the first place?
“We’re not dogmatic. We’re OK with Quebec making money,” he said. “The world has changed.”
For some reason I don’t feel any safer.

In the coming months, everyone should prepare themselves for a massive expansion of what constitutes a “nation building” project.
At a meeting in March with the premiers, Carney asked them to identify “nation-building projects.” Ford’s letter sets out his list of areas he wants the federal government to prioritize “that would be transformational for Canada’s economy.”
But the “nation-building” project drawing the most attention is a driver and transit tunnel expressway under Highway 401.
Sun- Carney betting we can spend ourselves rich
Carney intends to increase government spending by $130 billion over the next four years, in the wake of the previous Liberal government headed by Justin Trudeau, which overshot its deficit target for the 2023-24 fiscal year of $40.1 billion by 54%, coming in at $61.9 billion.
Philip Pilkington- What we see in Canada is the collapse of global liberalism cranking into high gear.
The “proud Canadian” liberal who will “never submit” to the Orange Overlord is basically just an American liberal channelling American liberal politics into Canadian electoral politics.
Alberta exported over $161B worth of products to the US in 2024.
Alberta and Ontario had $15.5B in two way trade in 2022
Saskatchewan exported $29B worth of products and commodities to the US in 2023
No clear data available for Saskatchewan trade numbers with Ontario, but suffice to say trade with the US exceeds trade within Canada.
British Columbia has 19 border crossings with the United States, Alberta has 6, Saskatchewan has 12, and Manitoba has 16. There is just 1 narrow 2 lane road through 1,000 miles of wilderness connecting all of Western Canada with Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, yet the East rules the lives of Western Canada?
Ontario and Quebec won’t buy oil from Western Canada, preferring to buy from the US, or Saudi Arabia. Even Russian oil is preferred to Canadian oil.
Ottawa will not allow Western Canada to export LNG to other countries, forcing Europe to rely on Russian LNG.
The Liberal government won’t even fight the 100% tariff on Canadian canola.
The only thing Eastern Canada wants from the West are tax dollars which they give to provinces dealing with insolvency.
So why do we stay? What advantage is it to stay part of a government that hobbles us at every level? It’s time Western Canada breaks free from the Stockholm Syndrome that has held us back for over a century. I don’t know exactly what that will look like, but I do know it will be better than what we have now.
Special thanks to Quebec for paving the way forward.
…they’re building a database of churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples — tracking which ones are “affirming” enough.
A government-funded religious registry.
Western Standard- About 1,000 chickens could be killed as Alberta farmer battles egg ‘cartel’
Henk Van Essen, a 61-year-old egg farmer near Lethbridge, says he faces a court-ordered cull of 1,000 laying hens after his arrest on Wednesday for allegedly selling eggs outside the quota system regulated by the Egg Farmers of Alberta (EFA).
Again. Pretty please. With sugar on top.
Globe and Mail- Measles is spreading quickly in Canada. Where is the public-health response?
Ontario’s total reached 1,020 measles cases last week, almost 100 more than the previous week. Alberta reported 137 cases, up from 105. That seems to be the sum total of the public-health response: counting new cases.
Until it’s theirs.

BC Rental Project- Vancouver Breaks Its Own Rules to Build Middle-Income Housing—A Sign of a Broken Market
In a striking demonstration of how dysfunctional Vancouver’s rental market has become, the city is being forced to break its own regulations just to make a middle-income housing project viable. This raises serious concerns about government interference in housing development and its role in exacerbating the affordability crisis.

If proof was ever needed that the Liberals could not care less about the oil patch, this is it.
…oilfield service companies have been hit hard by Ottawa’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products — including 25 per cent tariffs on imports of steel and sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations…
[Fracking operations] require operators to import millions of tonnes of high-silica frac sand, primarily from mines in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
When a bank agrees to finance your mortgage, it’s a loan, not aid. Investors don’t loan you their capital because they think you are deserving of some “help”. While it’s legitimate to question whether or not governments should finance a pipeline, to call this “aid” is quite the stretch.
“Oil and gas companies – emboldened by their influence over President Trump – are exploiting the current economic uncertainty to call on governments to double down on fossil fuels by expanding pipelines and other projects and finding new export markets,” Julia Levin, associate director of national climate at Environmental Defence, stated in a news release on Thursday.
“This push ignores the fact that fossil fuels come at a high price — not just at the pump, but through rising costs of groceries, worsening health outcomes, damage to property, and huge government handouts,” she added.
“It also ignores the rapid energy transition towards renewable energy that is happening globally.”
For discovering something that was always there to begin with.
Globe and Mail- Mark Carney will not make Canada more prosperous
Dan Knight: B.C. Credit Downgrade
S&P cut B.C.’s rating from ‘AA-’ to ‘A+’. Moody’s dropped it from ‘aa1’ to ‘aa2’. That’s the fourth downgrade in four years. Four. This is a province that used to hold AAA status—the financial gold standard. That means British Columbia was once considered one of the most fiscally stable jurisdictions not just in Canada, but globally. Not anymore.
Even more alarming? S&P didn’t just hit their long-term rating—they downgraded the short-term rating too, from ‘A-1+’ to ‘A-1’. Why? Because even in the short term, B.C. is starting to look like a risk. A liquidity risk. That means the money might not be there when it’s needed. That’s a red flag for anyone with a calculator and a memory longer than five minutes.
This is not some vague bureaucratic move. This is a direct indictment of the NDP’s economic policies in British Columbia. This is what happens when you treat taxpayers like an ATM machine and the economy like a social experiment. And now, international financial institutions are officially saying what a lot of people have been screaming for years: B.C. is in serious fiscal trouble.
