Surrey, of course.

Three men arrested after what police alleged was an extortion-related shooting in Surrey over the weekend have been charged, and authorities have released their photos in an attempt to further the investigation.

All three are foreign nationals and have been reported to Canada Border Services Agency, according to the Surrey Police Service—which deferred any inquiries about the trio’s immigration status to federal officials.

Twenty-one-year-old Harjot Singh, 19-year-old Taranveer Singh, and 21-year-old Dayajeet Singh Billing have each been charged with one count of discharging a firearm into a place, a Monday statement from police said.

Gradually, Then Suddenly


Race to the bottom: Glencore said on Tuesday it has suspended nearly $1 billion of planned investments at Horne Smelter, Canada’s largest copper metal-producing operation, after failing to secure regulatory certainty from the provincial government of Quebec.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

CPAC has scrubbed this.

@grok The two media spokespeople in the video are Reynolds Mastin, President and CEO of the Canadian Media Producers Association, and Kyle Irving, Chair of the CMPA Board. They addressed Prime Minister Mark Carney at the Prime Time conference on January 29, 2026.

That Sinking Feeling

My advice to the Conservative Party of Canada: just be patient. Your time in the sun may be coming.

Statistics Canada says the economy stalled in November and early estimates suggest a decline in real gross domestic product for the final quarter of 2025.

November saw manufacturing of durable goods hit its lowest levels since 2011, outside the COVID-19 pandemic.

Update: Even the mainstream financial media is noticing that something is not right.

Canada’s main stock index fell 1,092.61 points or 3.3 per cent on Friday.

Unity In Disunity

The cheery facade belies the deep divide that actually exists within “Team Canada”.

Eby said later that Alberta has yet to identify sites where a pipeline would exit, it has not yet identified a proponent who would fund it, nor engaged with coastal First Nations.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has also protested Ford’s plans to pull Crown Royal whisky from government-run liquor store shelves. The product is made in Gimli, Man.

Ford said he understands Kinew is “doing what any other premier would do, try to protect his jobs,” while Ontario is doing the same.

That Sinking Feeling

If Carney’s polling numbers hold up, a spring election is a distinct possibility, and a Liberal majority would be the likely outcome. The reason is simple enough: once again, NDP and Bloc voters are stampeding to the Liberals. Inevitably, some will suggest that the Tories reinvent themselves to appeal to the left, but a string of electoral defeats with Red Tories at the helm points to the futility of that gambit. If that’s the best conservatives could do, why have a conservative party at all?

From coast to coast, Léger finds Mark Carney’s Liberals at 47% support among decided voters, up four points since Léger’s previous poll back in December. And this newfound support for the Liberals does not come at the expense of the Conservatives, who sit at 38%, themselves up two points.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

Trouble at head office.

The weekend delivered a jolt from Beijing that underscores a theme Chris Meyer and I have explored across multiple podcast discussions: Xi Jinping’s regime can look strong yet be brittle.

China’s Defence Ministry says it has opened investigations into senior military figures including Gen. Zhang Youxia, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission—an escalation that is shaking the top ranks of the People’s Liberation Army and fuelling fresh questions, inside and outside China, about whether this is an anti-corruption purge, a political power struggle, or both. […]

Chris and I also discuss the obvious: Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new strategic engagement with Beijing, already questionable to many critics of China’s hybrid warfare efforts in the West and especially targeting Canada, now looks increasingly dubious as questions hover over the stability of Xi’s regime.

More: China just took over a Canadian gold mining company in a $5.5 BILLION deal.

Is This Elevator Going Down?

I’m not so sure that central banks have much of a choice when it comes to cutting interest rates, given the dynamics of fiat currencies with an exponentially growing debt load, but the fact that the mainstream financial media is even publishing Pelletier’s analysis is, in itself, a warning sign.

The issue now is that central banks appear close to implementing yet another round of QE, not to stabilize markets but simply to absorb the massive issuance of government debt. That’s where the real danger emerges: currency debasement. When a central bank prints money to finance deficits, the purchasing power of that currency erodes rapidly.

Now is an ideal time to revisit your portfolio. Start by examining your government bond exposure, especially in jurisdictions such as Canada, where the federal government holds no gold reserves and where 10‑year yields near three per cent offer little compensation for the level of risk.
