Torrent Of Crickets

If a Tory government ever did what the Liberals just did with those unsold condominiums, the torrent of criticism would be more like a tsunami with the mainstream media pulling out all the stops to pile on the government. Just sayin’…

Prime Minister Mark Carney has faced a torrent of criticism since June 18, when he announced a plan to work with the B.C. government that he said would help homebuyers struggling to save for a down payment.

Carney has since said his government did not explain the program well.

Way too late for that: Beijing offers a poisoned chalice. Carney shouldn’t drink from it

Burton says Canada is a “bellwether” country in Beijing’s subversion of developed economies. Before Carney’s election, Canada was already the most deeply compromised member of the G7, and since January’s Canada-China strategic partnership was declared, the Chinese Communist Party’s influence operations in this country have expanded exponentially, Burton told me. “By exploiting Canadians’ natural anger over Washington’s betrayal, the CCP have successfully overseen a campaign of calculated deceit. It’s a classic deflection tactic: by keeping the public’s focus squarely on American betrayal, they effectively defuse and neutralize mainstream concerns about the PRC’s own escalating campaign of subversion, espionage, and transnational repression in Canada.

Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

Sam Cooper;

The container arrived carrying twenty industrial rolls of paper, and concealed inside ten of them was 520.6 kilograms of opium — the raw material of the Big Circle Boys’ heroin trade that drove Vancouver’s overdose deaths for decades, before fentanyl exploded in the Downtown Eastside around 2012.

Canada Border Services Agency officers made the find at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility, five kilometers from the Deltaport terminal, after intelligence from the agency’s National Targeting Centre and U.S. Customs and Border Protection flagged the shipment in January.

The disclosure came late, as it had before: officers intercepted the container in January but the agency announced it only this week — the same months-long lag that preceded its October disclosure of a May 2025 seizure of 4,300 liters of Chinese precursor chemicals bound for Calgary. The number carries political weight on its own. A single container held more opium than the 329 kilograms of opioids border officers seized across all of British Columbia in 2025.

“Vigilamus pro te”

A CAF juxtapose of sorts.

Brian Lilley: This wasn’t respectful to the troops, don’t think it followed protocol. Problem is, Carney doesn’t know this.

More military mystery…

The officer commanding one of the Canadian Army’s leading regular force battalions and the unit’s top non-commissioned officer have been removed from their position. Lt.-Col. Jason Hudson and Chief Warrant Officer Kim Doerr, of the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton, were apparently forced to step aside over the weekend, several military sources said Tuesday.

The Department of National Defence, in a written statement, confirmed to CBC News that action had taken place, but refused to explain why.

Some Unmarked Graves Are More Equal Than Others

Oh, so now they want to dig.

After purchasing a property in Port Colborne, Ontario and beginning construction of their future home, the Reios discovered ancient human remains on the site. Since then, they have been ordered to fund an archaeological investigation that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even exceed $1 million.

Despite legislation that allows the government to step in when compliance would impose an undue financial burden, provincial officials refused to provide assistance.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation is supporting their court challenge, toss a few bucks their way if you can afford to.

Circling The Drain

Say goodbye to rate cuts from the Bank Of Canada, at least for the time being.

According to Statistics Canada data, gasoline prices were up by 33.2 per cent year-over-year in May following a 28.6 per cent rise in April. These are the biggest increases since July 2022, officials said.

Food inflation also accelerated in May, rising to 4.3 per cent year-over-year compared with 3.8 per cent in April, driven mainly by higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

The Libranos: Call The Bookkeeper

It’s a 3B$ bailout of BC developers, and even the CBC is mad about it.

B.C. is facing a glut of empty condos. Thousands of Metro Vancouver units are sitting empty and some developers are facing insolvency.

Now, some housing experts are questioning a plan by the federal and provincial governments to buy some of those vacant units and turn them into affordable housing.

They say it amounts to a multi-billion dollar bail out for developers who refuse to lower prices to reflect a sluggish real estate market.[…]

Yan has a lot of questions about the plan by Mark Carney and David Eby to spend up to $3 billion to buy vacant condos in “priority growth areas” and turn them into affordable housing.

Recent data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation shows that as of last month, there were 4,376 completed condos sitting empty in Metro Vancouver, a 76 per cent increase from the year before.

Yan has crunched the numbers, with his analysis showing that a third of all condos without owners in Metro Vancouver cost over $1 million.

He questions how deep a discount the governments can get to make those units truly affordable.

Wrong question.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

The Bureau;

A chill is roiling Ottawa’s bureaucracy after the woman who crafted Canada’s policy to defend the North with American allies was fired, she alleges, after criticizing the government’s anti-American rhetoric — and shortly after Mark Carney’s government declared Beijing a strategic partner, The Bureau has been informed.

Raquel Garbers spent 28 years in Canada’s public service and helped write the country’s current defence policy. On October 15, 2025, she published an opinion piece warning that Ottawa’s growing anti-American rhetoric was splitting the Western alliance and handing a gift to the country’s real adversaries, Beijing and Moscow. Two days later, according to the statement of claim in her wrongful-dismissal suit, Canada’s foreign minister stood in Beijing and signaled a shift toward a “strategic partnership” with China — a sharp reversal of Ottawa’s own recent posture toward Beijing. Weeks after that, she was fired.

Garbers, 57, filed her claim this month in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa, seeking about $2 million from the federal government. She is not a junior official, and her stature, and questions about whether Mark Carney’s government is trying to enforce a silence over the public service as Ottawa pivots closer to Beijing, are topics of conversation in Ottawa, Garbers’s legal team told The Bureau today.
