Mandatory military service and nuclear weapons may be new ideas for Canadians, but other friendly democracies have been using these strategies for decades.
It’s not enough to “buy Canadian”, we need to own it
The U.S. president is turning the world economy upside down, holding everyone hostage in the process. Canada’s position is especially precarious. After decades of the U.S. pursuing a neoliberal agenda with free trade, deregulation and privatization, Canada is deeply integrated into the U.S. economy...
[Ottawa – April 11, 2025] As the election passes the midpoint and the debate milestones, it appears to have stabilized in a new more competitive eight-point Liberal lead (although we register…
CANADA - A somewhat reclusive and middle-aged Canada admitted it is stuck between making new friends or sticking with the one friend they’ve had forever, despite them recently becoming noticeably more conservative.
Most Canadians feel as safe or safer than 10 years ago, Nanos poll finds. Conservative voters are another story
The majority of Canadians feel as safe or safer in their neighbourhoods than they did 10 years ago, according to the latest public issues polling from Nanos Research – but Conservative voters are a significant exception.
Canadian voters ranked climate change as a top issue — even during a pandemic. Has the U.S. trade war changed that?
Climate change has dropped in Canadians’ list of priorities this election — but that doesn’t mean climate issues are no longer relevant
Joe Seiders in custody following search of home, vehicle and phone, after allegedly attempting to film child in California restaurant restroom
Joe Seiders, the American drummer with Canadian indie rockers the New Pornographers, has been arrested for possession of child sexual abuse imagery.
A statement made by the sheriff’s office of Riverside county, California, alleged that evidence has implicated Seiders in two incidents. On Monday 7 April, an 11-year-old boy reported that a man attempted to film him in a restroom of a fast food restaurant, and on Wednesday 9 April, police officers received another report from the restaurant, that a man was “entering and exiting the restroom with juvenile males at the business”.
Officers arrested Seiders at the scene, and secured search warrants for his home, vehicle and phone: “Evidence was located implicating him in the two reported incidents, along with additional crimes, including possessing child pornography,” the statement reads. He was also charged with annoying/molesting a child, invasion of privacy, and attempted invasion of privacy.
Vote early, vote often. Keep out that Freedom Convoy ass kissing psychopath. Only takes ten minutes.
I hate strategic voting and I'm holding my nose and voting for Carney anyway to keep Polievre out. I wish the NDP wasn't such a mess. But I don't want Canada to get into bed with the orange rapist.
During both leaders' debates, Jagmeet Singh claimed that when Pierre Poilievre was housing minister, he only built six homes.
Pierre Poilievre says there is no need to reduce plastic packaging
Le chef Pierre Poilievre veut mettre un frein à l’interdiction des emballages en plastique à l’épicerie, une initiative des libéraux qui, selon lui, compliquera la vie et coûtera cher aux familles.
Watching this shit unfold from outside Canada is stunning.
I understand not all nations have the same political culture.
But in France, everyone is aware that we consume far too much plastic and it’s seriously harming both our health and environment. Claiming you support plastic packaging is political suicide.
With tariffs and other political threats, we must remember ‘Canada’ was built on a foundation of Indigenous title, write Jody Wilson-Raybould and Christine Boyle
Carney Is Proving To Be An Economic Juggernaut
The allegation came from a staunch supporter of Carney in Canada's upcoming federal election; Snopes contacted him and Carney for clarification.
C'mon guys this is such an easy win for us as a country. Justin went a little too far with his style of governing for a lot of you and now the liberals have voted this guy to be it's leader and new PM. This is who we want to lead us into the second half of the 20th century, this guy is so fucking smart. Pierre just sings slogans and simple pretty things that sound nice but in reality he's just going to sell us off to American interests and cut the things that help working people.
I don't want to say that Trump made you a favor, but I realized that I had completely forgot about Canada. Are you aware of this?
I mean, sure, it's not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).
And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not "Canada-aware" for most of my life.
I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.
Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.
I shall visit soon and I h
