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.

War On Beef
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.

Strict criminal trial deadlines imposed by the Supreme Court of Canada are derailing about 10,000 cases a year, a list that includes several alleged murders and hundreds of alleged sexual assaults, according to the latest Statistics Canada data.
The dire situation has led the federal government and the three biggest provinces to call on the Supreme Court to provide some leeway on the time limits, called Jordan deadlines, in a drug-trafficking case to be heard at the top court in Ottawa on Thursday.
The federal government is also planning to table legislative changes by mid-December to help address the problem of so many serious cases being tossed because of delays.
For decades, such delays have plagued Canada’s justice system. In a landmark decision in a 2016 case called Jordan, the Supreme Court tried to do something about them, citing a pervasive culture of complacency around the issue.
The top court created make-or-break deadlines. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, criminal trials must be completed in provincial courts within 18 months from the day a person is charged, and within 30 months in superior courts.
Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice; How many serious crimes in Ontario went un-prosecuted because of the resources that were expended on Tamara Lich and Chris Barber? There’s a precedent, here. Roughly $7M of court resources was spent, about 20 years ago now, prosecuting Wheat Board dissidents, while violent crime prosecutions withered on the vine.
Dispatches from the Maple Gulag Truckstop
Mark Carney is looking for a new Parliamentary Budget Officer who has more “tact and discretion” because Mark Carney is tired of Jason Jacques telling the truth.
But you don’t have to be the Parliamentary Budget Officer to spot discrepancies in Liberal math.
The job numbers for October were made to look good at a glance, but if you read past the first paragraph you will see that the increase in jobs are all temporary part time jobs and the Canada lost 18,500 full time jobs.
The October increase was driven entirely by part-time work (+85,000), while full-time positions actually fell (-18,500). Most of the gains were in Ontario, which added 55,000 jobs, and in industries including retail and wholesale trade, transportation, and information and recreation. BMO chief economist Douglas Porter notes that this provincial strength might have a temporary cause, suggesting Ontario’s gains—particularly in information, culture & recreation and accommodation & food—may have received a bump from the Blue Jays’ playoff run. Construction employment fell by 15,000.
If you look even further you will question the increase in transportation jobs. I’ve been in transportation for 34 years, the market has never been this slow for this long. EVER.
So how do you get an increase of 30,000 jobs in transportation when the industry is collapsing with bankruptcies everywhere? There are so many bankruptcies that the auctions are overrun with equipment for sale.
There were more people working in wholesale and retail trade (+41,000; +1.4%), transportation and warehousing (+30,000; +2.8%), information, culture, and recreation (+25,000; +3.0%), and utilities (+7,600; +4.6%). On the other hand, employment declined in construction (-15,000; -0.9%).
This fall things have slowed down even more due to the tariffs in the US and a lack of economic activity in Canada, so how did transportation and warehousing gain 30,000 jobs when trucking companies are laying off staff?
It can be argued that some of my number are from months ago, but there are no economic indicators showing any postive news that would cause a reversal of the trend.
It’s almost like the Liberals are spreading misinformation…

He Admires His Basic Dictatorship
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to let the Canada Revenue Agency automatically file millions of Canadians’ tax returns is facing backlash from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which says the month-long consultation preceding the rollout was a “sham” designed to rubber-stamp a power grab by bureaucrats.
The CRA’s consultation ran for only one month, from September 9 to October 9, ending just a day before Carney’s announcement on Friday. The consultation sought online feedback from individuals and organizations about expanding “automatic tax filing” services.
The government says the program, starting in 2026, will help up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians receive benefits they’re missing, such as the GST/HST credit and Canada Child Benefit.
Critics, however, say Ottawa’s timeline shows the outcome was pre-determined.
“Carney plans to give CRA more power with automatic tax filing,” said Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s Federal Director Franco Terrazzano. “Trusting the taxman to do your return is like trusting your dog to protect your burger. CRA acting as both tax filer and tax collector is a serious conflict of interest.”
Terrazzano mocked the idea that meaningful input was possible within hours of the consultation closing. “There’s no way bureaucrats pulled an all-nighter reading through thousands of submissions before sending Carney out to make an announcement the next morning,” he said. “Asking Canadians for their opinion and then ignoring them isn’t a good look. This was a sham consultation.”
The federation argues the plan will give unprecedented control to the same agency responsible for collecting taxes. “The CRA can barely answer the phone, so Carney shouldn’t be giving those bureaucrats more busy work,” Terrazzano said. “The CRA is a bloated mess, and Carney should be cutting the cost of bureaucracy, not scheming up ways to give it more power over taxpayers.”

New Governor, Same As The Old Governor
A new Canadian bill introduced by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has raised privacy concerns as it appears that, should it become law, it would give officials the power to ban anyone deemed a dissident from accessing the internet.
Bill C-8, which is now in its second reading in the House of Commons, was introduced in June by Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree and has a provision in which the federal government could stop “any specified person” from accessing the internet.
All that would be needed is the O.K. from Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly for an individual to be denied internet service.
The bill is titled “An Act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other Acts,” and it contains a clause that mandates all internet providers to pull internet services from anyone whom the government demands.
The bill would allow the industry minister to “prohibit a telecommunications service provider from providing any service to any specified person,” all without a warrant. The only recourse a banned person would have is after the order is given. They would have to get a federal court to look at the ban order for a judicial review.

It was 55 years ago this month that Pierre Elliot Trudeau invoked martial law in Canada to deal with the kidnapping of Pierre Laporte. Laporte was later murdered by the terrorist group the FLQ. Several members of the FLQ got only 2 years for their part in the kiddnapping and murder, some got more, while others were flown to Cuba. They would have gotten much more prison time had they been charged with mischief instead of kidnapping and murder…
