2026 Canadian Political Thread

Carney's Flash and Dance epic....
Create deals with Europe and the Pacific Rim (including China).... (these things will take time like 2 to 5 years to happen)....

Carney's process against the Trump led tariff to Canadian goods, seem to be to wait it out to after Trump's Term is over...

.Anything he (Carney) has done to revamp the Canadian economy after Trudeau killed the Canadian economy (following principles in Carney's book), still hasn't taken effect yet or is still waiting to get started, even though Carney says that things are started...

Which means nothing is really happening.... except the status quo....

Anything that is related to CO2 production (cement, steel, iron ore) are not going into production, cause Carney is depending on "Carbon Credits" , which won't restart any type of manufacturing in Canada at all...

Canada has a problem since its inception, and that is it needs to trade by Sea.... It needs to build ships... It needs to build large Container ships so its manufacturing can reach other places, otherwise we depend on shipping from Europe, China, or the USA.

My prediction is all those Federal environmental projects he is oking, (not saying those projects are related to his friends and family and brookfield ), are not going to start before Trump leaves office, and will probally be cancelled then... overbudget or some other stupid excuse....environmentally disaster.

Is there gonna be a Royal Commission into how much profit was made from companies filling contracts with Aboriginal Affairs/Northern Affairs.

Since the interruption of the supply chain of goods from China during the Covid outbreak; the cost of food and inflation has steeply risen, that even the middle class is feeling the pressures of the increased cost of living.
Since the rise of ebay, amazon and other order for stuff online, inception some 20 years ago, the standard departmental store sales have steadily decreased and now store fronts are used as the pick up point for when you order online at any store that has felt the pinch to be competitive.
This has caused a lack of basic supplies at the base level of any industry. eg you don't have the stuff to do your job, unless you yourself order the product you need, instead of going to the local store to pick it up (which was at the local store, but now has to be ordered in to save on space and storage)...

Canada governments owe the land, not the Aboriginals... they were conquered, not colonized... They are less than 3% of all Canadians, they vote in Canadian elections, but still maintain they are separate countries on their reservations.... So why are we paying foreign countries money to maintain them...

This is Canada now...

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/othe...S&cvid=dd221afd5edf4c19ac5c6fc7bddf0ce6&ei=62

Countries have to apologize and pay retributions of things that happened over 100 years ago... Canada is following rules, made up by people outside of Canada, and Canada has to follow these rules... pure BS... that is what it is... Canada should determine its own way!

When are Canadians gonna wake up and smell the coffee of the woke shit that is happening in Canada ( in its Federal and Provincial departments), its colleges and universities and high schools that is being fed to us...

People need to go forward in their lives, not dwell on the past... We can't make up for what happened in the past, but some people think that government should pay because the tax payer will pay for government misuse of its own tax funds.

Ever see a government employees signature block on an email.... its all about putting words into people mouths , in what they don't believe in.... "Unseeded Land claims".... Trudeau and provincial governments have said that is what has to go into their employees signature block...

Here a good fact to know.... White men learned how to scalp from the Aboriginals.... This is a good anology of "Do unto other, as they do unto you".....


Here is the biggest gamble of the Trudeau/Carney liberal alliance.... If they can make the majority of Canadians role over (and give up your rights) and not protest about how Aboriginals Rights are more protected than the rest of the Canadians rights, they will continue to apply this BS notions to keep winning elections and further fuck you over and control your kids and your opinions too.

No one rights should ever trump over your rights and freedoms...

All you have to do is look how they put words into all the civil servants mouths through email signature blocks... and ask yourself are these civil servant are truly free??

Well said 80watts. You can thank them for DRIPA

The Alberta referendum....
I want Alberta to stay in Canada.
I think that the rest of Canada gets to vote on whether Alberta should stay in Canada. After all they are saying fuck you to all Canadians outside of Alberta.

Yes Alberta been the "have province" that has held Canada together for the last 40 years. And they are tired of it...watching the money pour out of Alberta to keep the reast of Canada happy (Quebec)....

But in perspective:
Albertans have fucked up royally by not being good budget holders...
They wasted what money they did have on roads and contracts that went nowhere....Slush fund contracts and all...
They voted not to have sales tax, which has hit their budgets hard for the last 20 years... If they separate, they will still need a GST around 9-12%, to maintain services (police, hospitals, schools).
The US will still demand cheap oil from Alberta, even thro Crude oil is sold undervalue to the states.
The cost of exporting through BC or US will double or even quadruple... Again the Albertan government does not know the results of any financial ventures through another country (Canada or US) should they separate... they are just done with by being fucked over by Ottawa and Liberals in general..
Again to have money in their budget they will tax gas at the pump still, so nothing will change there...
They will fuck over the Aboriginals by taxing them... after all majority rules and rules should apply to everyone equally...
They will need a new banking system.
They will need a new foreign investment system, but all the oil has already been discovered, and the companies that own it are Chinese.....

The biggest problem is that Alberta is land locked... It is easier for Vancouver Island to separate from Canada, then Alberta due to geography. The majority of transportation in the world is done by ships... no port of calls in Alberta..

Ottawa has maybe pissed off Alberta for the last time.
Butt fucking by Ottawa....
Alberta sells it crude at lower prices (to the US) than Iran sells to Asia at.... Now compared to 10.00 higher for the rest of the world...

A Chinese national studying at a Canadian university has been charged with lying to American officials to conceal that he took photographs at a Chicago airport cargo facility at the direction of a suspected Chinese official, according to a federal complaint filed in Detroit on Aug. 26.

An undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, Zeng was issued a visitor visa in October 2022 and has entered the United States 24 times since then.

Authorities stopped Zeng Weiheng for an initial screening on Aug. 23 at the Ambassador Bridge border crossing in Detroit, after linking his vehicle to a security incident at a FedEx cargo facility at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on April 21.

Zeng also told the FBI that he suspected his Chinese contact was a Chinese regime official working for one of China's security departments, in part because the contact had provided him with "videos of scenes that only security officials would have access to."

For his communication with the Chinese contact, Zeng Weiheng said he was mailed SIM cards from China's state-run China Telecom, which allowed him to "by-pass Canadian cellular network and connect directly with the Chinese provider network" to send text messages, according to the affidavit.

Zeng was instructed to use the SIM cards only in a Huawei-made phone, swapping in a new card every few months and destroying the old one. He was also told never to bring the phone with him on trips to the United States.

Checking out the strength of somebody elses security system only looks useful for something entirely more nefarious. Zeng will miss enrolling at Waterloo U. for a fall term and needs deporting. Thank you very much, America.

Canada’s defence minister says the federal government is still assessing all available options as it weighs whether to proceed with the planned purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the United States.

“Canada has a responsibility to obtain an appropriate fighter jet fleet for our own responsibilities, to acquit ourselves of our responsibilities domestically, continentally, and internationally,” McGuinty said Tuesday.

AI:
Canada is militarily responsible for collective defense commitments, continental aerospace security, and international peacekeeping or stability operations through formal treaties and alliances.


Minister says we acquit ourselves of responsibility. Continentally we're signed on to Norad. The Gripen E proven in Arctic environment and interoperability proven in Iceland recently with Danish F-35. Internationally Canada needs to reduce responsibilities and avoid intervening in conflict found resembling Libya 2011 and Serbia 1999. In Libya an unarmed population accustomed to health care and education become destitute and joined a throng of illegal migration inflicting Europe. Serbia forced to surrender Kosovo as a homeland for Nato allies from Afghanistan, itself a questionable adventure in a world undecided about the origins of 9/11. Canada exercised no say in events leading up to World War I and World War II. Britain entered WWI over Belgium's humiliation with German troops transiting. Before the fact of any atrocity Britain committed itself to WWII with Germany heading to fight a vicious dictator. Canada and allies effectively legalised Communist atrocities in eastern Europe, and the rise of nuclear weapons.

Biwei Zhang, a Canadian intern at NATO military's headquarters in Mons, Belgium, was arrested by Belgian authorities in July on suspicion of espionage and communicating with a foreign crime entity. She has been held in pretrial detention since being taken into custody and was this week denied an appeal for release.

Zhang apparently worked as an economist for Statistics Canada, a systems engineer in satellite operations for the Canadian Space Agency and held positions at the European Space Agency in Italy and the World Trade Organization in Switzerland.

In the immediate aftermath of her arrest, NATO said none of its critical systems were compromised.

Chinese overseas police stations are also a known source of intelligence liaison. While none exist in Belgium, France recently dismantled a chain of nine of them.

The idea is to either implant malware in critical infrastructure systems for activation at a later date, perhaps during a crisis or war. Or, establish "a beachhead" for an outside hacker. "The best way has always been having a human on the inside working with external hackers on the outside."

A counterintelligence investigation at SHAPE involving Zhang was triggered by her allegedly loitering around restricted military command buildings and consistently asking personnel highly specific, "hypothetical questions" regarding security protocol breaches.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-china-spy-nato-intelligence-9.7331493

Zhang's job hopping suggests she might have been successful in planting malware and planned to keep moving on. Or if she made any excursions to France before the dismantled Chinese police stations. Her asking repeated hypothetical questions about security protocol and loitering looks suicidal as she may have run out of liaison sources.

Stephen Fuhr was mocked for opposing purchase of F-35s. Now he's in charge of Canada's defence procurement

Ex-fighter pilot who has long been critical of U.S. jets could oversee dramatic increase in defence budget.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stephen-fuhr-canada-defence-procurement-rcaf-f35-9.7333073

Canada's secretary of state for defence procurement, Stephen Fuhr opposes F-35 purchase. Still the Canadian commitment looks to be 16 and now cash laid out for components of a further 14. The stealth isn't required in North American airspace. Only an added expense to maintain. Already immersed in costly supply chain issues and not designed specifically for Arctic environment. Forcing an Arctic build-out with planes requiring elaborate forward maintenance facilities isn't cost effective procurement. Money better spent on Arctic adapted Canadian built Saab Gripen E meant for the job and civilian infrastructure in the Arctic. The US General commanding Norad admits the F-35 isn't necessarily the best.

The provincial budget back in February contained an error—it massively miscalculated natural gas royalties.

While financial planning is often complex and everyone makes mistakes, the government made things worse with contradictory explanations and a lack of transparency, claiming it made an “administrative error” connected to “unit and currency conversions.”

Canada’s publicly-traded companies must publish their annual financial statements within 90 days of their fiscal year-end. Many companies, even large and financially complex ones, take far fewer than 90 days. For example, Canada’s large- and mid-sized publicly-traded banks have an October 31 fiscal year-end and publish their annual results in the first week of December. If they can report their financial results in just over a month, there’s no reason the provincial government should take more than four months.

The broader fiscal mess being DRIPA and nobody to build refinary for Alberta bitumen.

Ottawa had no guarantees that Saab's GlobalEye surveillance plane could meet military requirements when it began negotiations to acquire six of the Swedish manufacturer's early warning and control aircraft last spring, CBC News has learned.

At the time of the announcement, the air force had yet to inform potential bidders of its exact technical and operational needs for a new fleet of airborne surveillance aircraft.

In an interview, Ottawa's point person on military procurement said that the government must also weigh factors such as cost, jobs and geopolitics in major military purchases.

It was only in late June — more than three weeks after the announcement — that Canadian military officials met with Saab to go over the specific kinds of features the plane needs.

The military is also seeking a radar plane that can be refuelled in flight to cover the vast expanses of the Arctic, a feature that is not currently included on the GlobalEye.

Experts doubt the United States will allow a high-tech data link used exclusively on F-35 fighters to be installed on either the early warning aircraft or the Gripen-E — if Canada chooses to buy that warplane.

"I think that's the challenge, right? Who wears the operational risks that we're asking the Canadian Armed Forces to accept?"


https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/global-eye-saab-rcaf-surveillance-9.7336138

The Saab radar unit on top of the repurposed Bombardier business jet only scans 300 degrees leaving 2 blind spots foreward and aft. Saab offers to put more radar units in the nose and tail and to reconfigure for air-to-air refueling.

Initial procurement procedure looks rudimentary. Doubt you're going to cram both a refuelling assembly and a radar unit into the nose where needed in the reconfigured Bombardier business jet in the picture.

The high-tech data link isn't exclusive to F-35. The Link 16 high-tech encryption enabling Nato and Norad aircraft to communicate navigation and targeting positions with nearby Allied fighter aircraft underwent testing between Danish F-35s and Icelandic Gripen-Es in a recent exercise. If America doesn't want to share the Link 16 encrypted communication, navigation and identification with Canadian Gripen-Es I think Canadians seriously have to ask whether Canada has any real role to play in an integrated continental air defence system beyond tracking orbiting spent rocket boosters.

The operational risk Canadian aircrew have to think about principality entails whether you want to go into any of the types of military adventures Americans currently suffer for Zion requiring stealth and in past decades Britain. For me emphatically, no.

Prime Minister Mark Carney talks about making Canada an energy superpower. He has promised “intense discussions” this fall on an even deeper economic and security partnership with the European Union (EU). In a few weeks, he is also to address the European Parliament and sit in on Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union speech as the honoured guest of a bloc that Iceland and Norway keep refusing to join. Both already have the market access Carney wants, and have rejected closer integration. Canadians should understand why.

On 29 August 2026, Iceland voted 52.8 per cent against even restarting accession talks abandoned more than a decade ago. The turnout was high at 82.5 per cent. The question was not about membership but whether just to reopen negotiations and Icelanders said no.

Norway has rejected EU membership twice, in 1972 and 1994, but is part of the Schengen trade zone and has adopted some of the EU rules and regulations.

Despite Iceland and Norway rejecting closer integration with the EU, Ottawa is acting as if Iceland’s vote never happened.

EU President Ursula von der Leyen is expected to sketch a closer, “all-encompassing” Canada-EU partnership in her 16 September State of the Union address, with Carney in the gallery as honoured guest.

Closer ties to the EU at this stage, when the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is already in place, is about regulation not trade. Canada would be a rule-taker, surrendering the policy space that actually matters: how we develop oil, gas, hydro, and critical minerals; how we manage Atlantic and Arctic fisheries; how we set agricultural and forestry rules; how we tax and regulate our own industries.

Canada’s core industries, oil and gas, mining, fisheries, agriculture, forestry, are exactly the activities Brussels wants to classify, control, constrain, or phase out. A closer association would attach European criteria to how those resources are developed, financed and sold, without giving Canadians any say in writing the criteria because it has already been written.

The sound response is not to entertain or negotiate closer relations but to reject the premise that CETA and the existing partnerships are insufficient, and that private capital and national resource policy require an official European hierarchy to function.

https://www.todayville.com/iceland-...orway-refuses-eu-ottawa-should-take-the-hint/

The Schrengen, the core of the European idea. Internal free movement of citizens and trade enjoyed by Norway looks enticing. A Rothschild once said to the effect "With control of the money I can defeat any military." After stints as central bank governor for Canada and Britain if anybody in Canada looks qualified for the role certainly Carney fits the mould. What anybody like Carney could do would eventually be replaced by somebody without the financial acumen. Ottawa would effectively relinquish duties and Canada would suddenly be 13 separate countries. Just so you know.

Things to consider. The uncontrolled mass migrations. Inherent corruption of centralized authority. An "unsustainable reality" of €360 billion trade deficit in the China slave trade.

Also even MORE shit Donnie doesn't know:

Canada is the largest supplier of nickel to the United States, providing roughly 44% of US primary nickel imports (2021–2024, USGS). In 2024, Canada exported ~98,200 tonnes of unwrought nickel worth $2.4 billion, with 43% by volume going to the US — making the US its single biggest nickel market.

Key numbers

Structural dependency
The US has a critical gap: its only mine, Eagle Mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (~10,000 t/yr), ships its concentrate to Sudbury, Ontario for smelting and refining, and the refined nickel is sold back to US firms. The US has no completed nickel refinery of its own, making Canada's processing capacity (centred in Sudbury) a strategic dependency for defence, aerospace, and EV battery supply chains.

Trade tensions (2025–2026)

• In early 2025, US tariff threats prompted Ontario to threaten cutting off critical minerals, including nickel.
• Canada Nickel Company CEO Mark Selby noted Canada could redirect exports "anywhere in the world" if needed, though the US is still the primary buyer.
• As of September 2026, analysts continue to flag the US strategic vulnerability — a The Hill op-ed published two days ago argues the US "faces a strategic vulnerability in its lack of nickel smelting capacity and reliance on Canadian imports."
• A 25% tariff on Canadian nickel would have cost US firms an estimated $260M+ annually.

Bottom line
The relationship is deeply intertwined and somewhat asymmetric: the US needs Canada for refining, and Canada needs the US as its largest buyer. Any prolonged disruption would force the US toward suppliers like Indonesia (dominated by Chinese firms) or Norway, neither of which is a straightforward substitute in the short term.

When it comes to nickel pricing, the industry has to thank Donald. Things looked grim this year as Indonesia with its HPAL plants was producing nickel from laterites at a cheap cost. Then Trump comes along and decides to have a conflict with Iran. So the Strait of Hormuz becomes essentially closed. Why does did impact nickel. Well, you need a lot of sulfur from the Gulf to make sulfuric acid to make cheap nickel. But now..........

The federal government has been actively exploring the privatization and alternative ownership models of its major airports, which currently run under a not-for-profit model where local airport authorities manage federally owned land via long-term leases.
