Police in Richmond, B.C., are investigating after a series of meat thefts from retail stores that they say may be “organized” crime.

Blacklocks; Prime Minister Mark Carney misled media on his private meetings with Chinese Communist leaders, Privy Council records show. Documents written by cabinet aides directly contradicted Carney’s claims that he raised human rights and foreign interference with his Beijing hosts: “On human rights, with the President, yes, we did discuss human rights.”

I would suggest a headline change to “Carney buys votes in Quebec and Ontario“. That aside, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy 155 mm artillery shells from places that already make such a commonly available munition? It’s also worth asking if this is a case of governments getting ready to fight the last war.
Ottawa will pump more than $1 billion in public funds into new facilities in Ingersoll, Ont., and Repentigny, Que., for heavy munitions used in artillery.

This is not the kind of history that any level of government should be making. But I guess it’s okay, as long as we call the spending “investment”.
The New Brunswick government says its investments in health care have helped push the budget into a record deficit. Introduced on Tuesday, the budget’s $1.4-billion deficit is the largest in the province’s history, according to Finance Department staff.
Speaking of investments…
The federal government is putting $200 million toward a Canadian-owned launch pad so it can send satellites into orbit without the assistance of other nations or other foreign third parties.

At the start of the Ukraine war (2022), Canada’s carbon price was $40/tonne.
On April 1 2026, it reaches $110/tonne — more than double.
For a truck hauling food Toronto–Montreal weekly, that’s roughly $6,000 more per year vs 2018.

Strategic Partnering, Jan 16th
In a more divided and uncertain world, Canada is building a stronger, more independent, and more resilient economy. To that end, Canada’s new government is working with urgency and determination to diversify our trade partnerships and catalyse massive new levels of investment. As the world’s second-largest economy, China presents enormous opportunities for Canada in this mission.
Strategic Partnering, March 13th
Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.
But China owns the mine and shut it down in early 2023 — one year before Beijing imposed export controls blocking antimony sales to U.S. military end users, driving prices from about US$5,900 per tonne to more than US$50,000.

“Trust us, we’d never lie to you.”
More than 30 soldiers based in Petawawa suffered frostbite injuries during a recent exercise in Alaska, prompting concerns about the quality of equipment military personnel are issued.
Soldiers contacted the Ottawa Citizen to complain that the Canadian Army was trying to cover up details about frostbite injuries to more than 60 troops who took part in “Exercise Global Resolve” in February. A number of frostbite cases were extremely serious, the soldiers added.

Juxtapose time.
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed sharply in January as exports surged to a record high and imports fell, a trend that if sustained, could see trade contributing to economic growth in the first quarter.
Canada’s trade deficit widened in January as exports of motor vehicles and parts fell to the lowest level in more than four years. Canadian goods exports decreased by 4.7%, the biggest monthly decline since April 2025, Statistics Canada reported Thursday. That pushed the country’s trade shortfall to $3.65 billion.
Kill shot: Economists surveyed by Bloomberg were expecting Canada’s trade deficit to shrink to $1.1 billion January from $1.3 billion in December.
Her son who is Robin IDLOUT Robin Idlout is a 27-year-old man originally from Nunavut, specifically associated with Iqaluit. He has been living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as of late 2024. He has been the subject of a **multi-year** (meaning not A MINOR INVESTIGATION) investigation by Nunavut RCMP’s Specialized Investigative Team (SIT) into incidents of internet child exploitation, **starting in 2021**.

Update: Holly Doan answers the call.
The Federal Crown has stayed all charges against two Calgary residents who were arrested last year after nearly 8 kilograms — roughly 17.5 pounds — of fentanyl were found hidden in their vehicle during a traffic stop on the Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan.
Swati Narula, 27, and Kunwardeep Singh, 29, each faced one count of trafficking a controlled substance and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The Public Prosecution Service of Canada entered written stays of proceedings against Narula on February 24 and against Singh on February 27, Swift Current Online reported Monday.
There was no explanation for why the narco-suspects walked free, beyond the standard policy language the prosecution service has cited in a number of similar cases…

Canadian Slaughter Steer Prices (Week of March 7, 2026)
Alberta: Fed steer prices closed the week at approximately $315.28 per hundredweight (cwt). Dressed sales in Alberta were reported in the range of $520–$530 per cwt delivered, marking an increase of $5–$7 per cwt from the previous week.
Ontario: Steer and heifer prices were up $1–$3 per cwt from the previous week, with dressed sales reported at $530 per cwt delivered.
Canadian Natural defers oilsands mine expansion;
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. is deferring an oilsands mine expansion as it waits for Ottawa to finalize environmental policies.
The Calgary-based oil and gas giant had been planning to spend about $150 million this year on early engineering and design work for its $8.25-billion Jackpine mine expansion north of Fort McMurray, Alta., president Scott Stauth said Thursday.
But it’s putting that spending on hold until it gets more clarity around carbon pricing and methane emissions rules, which the company says have created an “economic burden for long-term growth investments.”

According to the National Post, Federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser recently rejected Alberta’s request for input into the selection of judges – including Supreme Court justices – explaining: “We need to rigorously adhere to the boundaries of the Constitution, including the need to protect the independence of the judiciary.”
Now it’s well known that the Province of Quebec already has significantly greater powers than Alberta is looking for. So it would seem obvious that the minister intentionally employed a false justification for his government’s policy.
Put plainly, seeing that upset me. But it also made me wonder how often our government uses disinformation when talking to us.
Well first of all, how often do they try to tell us stuff? An awful lot, it turns out. Through just 2025, Global Affairs Canada – for example – issued 411 information releases through their canada.ca page. Multiply that by the more than 100 departments and agencies that enjoy communicating in one way or another, and it’s clear that government produces a steady torrent of communications.
How many federal public sector workers are involved in the government’s messaging-industrial complex? Searching on the Government Electronic Directory Services (GEDS) page shows us that there are 1,660 individuals across government whose job descriptions include the word “communications”. Of those, 770 are Communications Advisors and 117 are Communications Assistants.
There are an additional 336 positions identified by terms like “engagement” (106), “marketing” (43), or “outreach” (58). That’s around 2,000 full-time positions that are officially advertised as messaging-related. But I’m sure there are countless more who are expected to devote only partial focus to communicating and others whose job titles aren’t caught by my simple search.
And that doesn’t include their paid shills in media.
