Literally, nobody voted for this.
Canada has had 14 prime ministers in its history who stood at the head of minority governments. Every one of them thought about weaseling their way to a majority. But the other 13 were blocked by a polity that wasn't yet as corrupt, ignorant and fearful as the Canadians of 2026.

They’re shopping for MPs like they’re filling a baseball team roster.
The Supreme Court is an apex appellate court; its function is to give the final word solely on points of law, and certainly not to conduct a de novo trial, repeating the evidence-gathering work of the court of first instance. So what exactly is the point of the week-long jamboree and its parade of interveners? Are there novel and pertinent social or legal facts to be studied?
It is almost, as Sarkonak observes, as though the court were taking the work of a parliamentary committee onto itself — as if it were revving up to legislate in an area with profound social and political implications, in precisely the way parliamentary deputies would be traditionally expected to.
The Government of Canada is encouraging the Supreme Court to, on its own motion, capture new and previously unimagined powers for itself. It proposes that the court should be able to block some uses of the notwithstanding clause because, if renewed by successive governments often enough, they might create “irreparable impairments” to the enumerated rights and freedoms suspended. (Look into your crystal balls!) The government also invites the court to allow idle “declarations of invalidity” on statutes that use the clause: it proposes, in fact, that the court should be permitted to do this for explicitly electoral purposes, because “voters and their representatives are not always necessarily in a position to determine for themselves whether a law respects Charter rights and freedoms.”

Related news from the Governor’s office: Carney is giving the Anti-Hate Network a say over what speech to restrict
A legal challenge to Quebec’s secularism law, known as Bill 21, will be heard at the Supreme Court of Canada beginning Monday, and legal experts say whatever the eventual ruling, it will have a profound effect on constitutional law in Canada.
The highly anticipated high court challenge to Bill 21 has been years in the making, but legal debate is likely to focus primarily on Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the provision known as the “notwithstanding clause,” which shields legislation from most court challenges over violations of fundamental rights.
François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec government pre-emptively invoked the provision into the law passed in June 2019.
The Quebec law, known as Act respecting the laicity of the state, sets out the principles of secularism in the province. Among its most controversial measures is the prohibition of civil servants who are considered in positions of power — such as police officers, teachers and judges — from wearing religious symbols at work.
“What lies at the heart of the challenge before the Supreme Court is far less the act on state secularism than the criteria for suspending the application of human rights and freedoms,” said Louis-Philippe Lampron, a professor at the Université Laval’s School of Law.
“That’s why the upcoming Supreme Court decision will be a true earthquake in constitutional law, no matter which way the Supreme Court rules.”

Tristan Hopper, National Post (paywalled);
The Liberals’ plan to “buy back” thousands of once-legal firearms has experienced so many cost overruns that it has so far more than $24,000 for every gun collected.
This means that for just three firearms turned over as part of the program, the federal government could have instead paid the starting salary of a full-time RCMP officer ($71,191).
For every two guns, the government could have purchased a new fully-equipped patrol car.[…]
As of the latest count from Public Safety Canada, “more than 32,000” firearms have been collected in the first six weeks of the program. But this is against the $779.8 million in costs that the program has incurred to date.
This works out to roughly $24,370 per firearm, most of which is sunk administrative costs that the original owner will never see.
Bruce Pardy, Fraser Institute;
The Canadian government has surrendered Vancouver. On Feb. 20, the federal government announced three agreements with the Musqueam Indian Band. One of those agreements recognizes Musqueam Aboriginal title within their traditional territory. That territory is located around the mouth of the Fraser River, including what is now Vancouver and neighbouring municipalities. The agreements were negotiated secretly without public input.
If the federal government wanted to calm the waters over the status of private property rights in British Columbia, this was not the way to do it. Which means that’s not what they wanted to do. They have chosen to pour oil on the fire. The Musqueam agreements are the latest edicts to pose existential risks to property interests in B.C. Let’s recap.

Yesterday afternoon around 430pm Alberta time, Tony Olienick walked out of Drumheller Institution, and re-united with the only family he has, his mother Tessie, after suffering nearly four years of incarceration as a political prisoner in the mass gulag camp once known as Canada.
The previous evening he was granted ‘bail on appeal’, something he was denied once already last year, and while he has to live with a number of strictly enforced conditions, somewhat similar to those imposed on Chris Barber and his ‘house arrest’, Tony is almost a free man. His conditions will be fully discharged in June of 2026, when he would have been statutorily released at the end of his sentence. ‘Sentence’ doing a lot of work here for a guy whose only crime was being a loudmouth at a protest…

It is no secret that JFK interfered with the 1963 Canadian Federal election.
But did you know why?
Kennedy was keen to draw Canada deeper into the American sphere. Diefenbaker, who held the more traditional attachment to Britain, balked at the invitation to join the Organization of American States.
Diefenbaker would not allow American nuclear warheads on Canadian soil and Pearson would.
The first US nuclear-armed missiles arrived in Canada on December 31, 1963. These were CIM-10 Bomarc surface-to-air interceptor missiles, which were equipped with nuclear warheads and deployed to Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) stations in North Bay, Ontario, and La Macaza, Quebec.
all U.S. nuclear weapons were removed from Canadian soil by 1984, …with the final nuclear-tipped Genie missiles leaving Canadian bases in July 1984…
The Liberals were willing to do anything to win the 1963 election, even sell out Canada’s sovereignty and security to a foreign nation. The placement of US nuclear warheads on Canadian soil made Canada a potential battleground in a Nuclear war between the United States and Russia.
It’s kind of amazing the way Liberal politicians live up to my headlines, if I do say so myself.
Last week, the Prime Minister’s Office announced that Canada and the People’s Republic of China will enhance law enforcement cooperation on drug trafficking, transnational and cybercrime, and money laundering. On paper, this sounds reasonable. Fentanyl is devastating communities. Cybercrime drains billions. Organized crime adapts faster than borders.
But experience teaches me that cooperation with the PRC is never just technical, never apolitical, and never insulated from the priorities of the Chinese Communist Party. Canadians deserve to understand the risks.
In Canada, policing is constrained by courts, disclosure rules, independent prosecutors, and an entrenched—if imperfect—commitment to individual rights. In the PRC, law enforcement is an extension of state security. Its primary function is not public safety as Canadians understand it, but regime stability.
Well, to be fair, regime stability is important to Ottawa as well.

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.

…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.
