Immigration fraud has overwhelmed Canada’s international student program, the Auditor General found Monday, with 153,000 students flagged as potentially non-compliant, funding to investigate only 2,000 potential fraud cases per year, and nearly all of 800 individuals who fraudulently entered Canada later approved for permanent status or immigration extensions.
One number above all others defines the scale of the failure: of 153,000 international students flagged as potentially non-compliant with Canadian study permit conditions, the federal government investigated fewer than 4,100 — laying bare an enforcement system so overwhelmed it cannot meaningfully police the program it is mandated to protect.

Can you imagine the trouble we’d be in had the Liberals kept the not-smart Governor?
November 17, 2025: Algoma Steel Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTL; TSX: ASTL) (“Algoma” or “the Company”), a leading Canadian producer of hot and cold rolled steel sheet and plate products, today announced that it has completed its $500 million financing transaction with the Governments of Canada and Ontario, consistent with the binding term sheets announced on September 29, 2025.
March 23, 2026: One of the largest rounds of layoffs in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., history is officially happening today. Hundreds of employees with Algoma Steel have worked their final shift at the plant as the company transitions from its blast furnace and coke production to electric steelmaking.

Elbow Up Canadians are NOT Nice People
Traveling around America, I constantly hear the following: “Oh, you’re Canadian? All Canadians are so nice!” I pause and then politely explain that this simply isn’t true any more amongst many Canadians.
I’ve found something online that perfectly illustrates this. Take a look at this photo:
I love this photo, and we love Japan!

Do you feel an immediate sense of red hot anger and hate? You probably don’t, because you’re not a lunatic. Here is a woman in Ontario whose tagline is: “A Secular Humanist Defending Democracy who will never Obey in Advance💙I have Severe TDS and Proud of it💙The only good Nazi is a dead Nazis💙WokeAF”
Imagine being so arrogant that, as a blonde white woman, you see fit to tell the Prime Minister of Japan that she has a lack of moral principles. Why? Because your brain is infected with severe TDS and any moral bearings you may have once had are completely gone.
What Canadian Conservatives are Up Against
What Exactly Has Mark Carney Done for Canadians So Far?
Yesterday, I received a call from a longtime friend in Vancouver. He has a medium level TDS infection, unlike his brother, who has full blown TDS. This fellow is the King of Middle of the Road. His constant refrain is to not be too extreme in either direction. I would generally applaud this except for one thing: He is conveniently ignorant about the Radical Left constantly moving the Overton Window in their direction. Because he and his ilk don’t have a spine to ever push back (it would be too extreme in his mind), Vancouver and B.C. continue to drift leftward into oblivion.
We got to a point in the conversation where he pronounced that Trump is horrible and Carney is doing fine. I started getting nauseous from this blathering so I interrupted his rant and said: “Please name just one thing that Mark Carney has done in the best interest of the Canadian people.” He couldn’t name anything. He went on with a series of “ifs” that will take a year or two from now to determine if Carney has succeeded. I agreed that if all of those positive things he mentioned come to fruition, Carney will have done great things for Canada. Until then, I view Carney as chief blowhard and word salad maestro of Canada, very reminiscent of Obama.
But, in fairness, I did ask Grok to list Carney’s accomplishments as Canadian PM and it returned this.
What is your take on Carney’s tenure as PM so far?
P.S. It’s not clear how my friend would react to the comments about Carney here.
You Don’t Hate the Media Nearly Enough
If you ever thought that CBC News was the only propaganda arm of the Lieberals, let me introduce you to CTV’s Marcia MacMillan:
Imagine a reality where Tom Mulcaire is the one helping a CTV anchor from going full retard.
CTV:
"But Tom, Pierre keeps complaining about Carney taking trips. First the UK and now the USA… How do you square that circle?"Mulcaire:

A Meaty Problem
On a recent trip to Golf Town I noticed that new clubs are now locked in place so you have to get a clerk to get one out for you to examine. How long will it be before grocery stores are doing the same thing for steaks and roasts?
Police in Richmond, B.C., are investigating after a series of meat thefts from retail stores that they say may be “organized” crime.
RCMP say that there have been 39 cases of reported theft of meat from stores across the city since December.
Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa
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.

Making History
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.

Is Trump To Blame For Ridiculously High Gas Prices in Canada?
If you’re Canadian and don’t understand why gasoline prices are high, you haven’t been paying attention … for at 30 years.

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.
And that doesn’t include higher fuel prices… pic.twitter.com/xVvKkACoz4

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.
