$100 Million For Indian Students

Daily Hive;

Some international students could be eligible for up to $100 million in scholarships from the University of Toronto, the Canadian government announced on Monday.

Prime Minister Mark Carney met with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the weekend, securing an “ambitious new partnership” with the country that focuses on energy, talent and technology.

“India is the fastest-growing major economy and a powerhouse of global commerce and technology. In a rapidly changing world, Canada and India are transforming their economies to be more diversified, more independent, and more resilient,” said Carney in a statement.

…and C3 for their grandmas.

So, yes – he’s done the math: In a recent interview with CBC News, [India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh K. Patnaik] suggested that because of our “complementary economies,” Canada should be eager to welcome an additional 60 million Indians.

We Are All Treaty People

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.

One step forward, Xi steps back.

Canada’s government is sending mixed signals on Iran just days after US-Israel strikes targeted the country’s military leadership. Prime Minister Mark Carney initially supported the mission to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand has called for a diplomatic solution, and Defence Minister David McGuinty has urged for a ceasefire.

Former defence and foreign affairs minister Peter MacKay joins Marc Patrone to break down Canada’s shifting stance and its impact on the country’s relationship with the United States. He cautions that stopping now could let Iran’s leadership regroup and stresses the importance of clear, consistent messaging from Ottawa.

Somebody got a call from Party headquarters.

I Want A New Country

$9,000 for every single Canadian family of four across the country”

Construction of regional high speed rail is a $90 billion catastrophe for taxpayers, says an MP whose constituency is on the route. Conservative MP Scott Reid (Lanark-Frontenac, Ont.) yesterday warned of “ruined lives” and wasted billions as the Commons passed the High Speed Rail Network Act: ‘Why on earth should people in British Columbia, Alberta or Newfoundland pay for this?’

Sure, South Korea may be on the fast track to communist dictatorship, but no matter.

Canada and South Korea have signed a new defence agreement, roughly a month after Prime Minister Mark Carney urged middle powers to band together in the face of “great power” economic coercion.

Following negotiations that concluded in October, the two countries signed a deal Wednesday related to the exchange and protection of classified military and defence information.

In October, Ottawa said the agreement would be a legal basis to improve collaboration on everything from defence procurement and industrial security to research.

Chinese approval of the deal is a slam dunk.

Money For Nothing

If Carney’s defense “plan” doesn’t fit the definition of a slush fund designed to line the pockets of Liberal cronies, I don’t know what would.

Carney’s strategy in making sure this actually gets done is a familiar one: create a new agency (in this case, the Defense Investment Agency) headed by a suit (investment banker Doug Guzman) whose job it will be to streamline processes and deliver results. That’s in addition to the existing entities charged with the work of defense (the Department of National Defense), subsidizing defense (the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development) and purchasing the tools necessary for defense (Public Services and Procurement Canada).

The Libranos: Chump Change

This will teach them dirty Liberals;

A former campaign manager and longtime political aide to Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (Beaches-East York, Ont.) has been cited for multiple violations of the Elections Act. Breaches included falsifying records: ‘He was the official agent.’

“The initial amount of the AMP set out in the Notice of Violation was $500. The final amount, upon the Commissioner’s review, was reduced to $300. A mitigating factor was applied taking into account Andrew Goodridge’s ability to pay the amount of the penalty.

Elbows Up, Comrades

We sure were lucky to get this new Governor.

Think food inflation in Canada is high? You haven’t seen anything yet.

New food inflation data will be released Tuesday, February 17. Early signals suggest January’s rate could come in around 6.2% — a significant acceleration.

Meanwhile, in the United States, despite tariff pressures and ongoing trade tensions, food inflation eased to 2.9%, down from 3.1% in January.

That gap matters.

He uses up a lot of words to say, “Yes, just like China.”

It’s his nature.

As the foreign interference inquiry found:

“The People’s Republic of China (PRC) targets members of Chinese Canadian diaspora communities for the purposes of repression, influence and forced return of targeted individuals to the PRC.

“It deploys a wide range of tradecraft to carry out its activities, one of which is to use a person’s family and friends living in the PRC as leverage against them.

“The PRC uses its diplomatic missions, PRC international students, community organizations and private individuals, among others, to carry out its transnational repression activities.”

Given that, why does the recent trade deal between Canada and China lifting some tariffs on EVs, canola and other products include a joint statement to strengthen law enforcement cooperation between us in the name of “public safety and security”?
