Prime Minister Carney expresses his deepest condolences to the loved ones, fellow officers, and communities of Constable Marc Pinizzotto of the Toronto Police and OPP Constable Tarun Bali, who both tragically lost their lives in the line of duty this week.

👇 Not everyone gets this

Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw says a search warrant that led to the death of Const. Marc Pinizzotto was connected to an investigation into multiple shootings, including the March 2026 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Toronto. Last month, the FBI arrested Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, who U.S. authorities have identified as a senior member of Kata'ib Hizballah and an operative of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). According to U.S. court documents, Al-Saadi claimed responsibility for multiple attacks in Canada, including the shooting at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto. Toronto police are also searching for a second suspect, identified as 19-year-old Zara Jabbi.

.@FinanceCanada Minister misled Canadians on size of near-record 2025 deficit, according to new Budget Office figures. @FPChampagne predicted $65.4 billion deficit. True figure was $71.8 billion, said @PBO_DPB. blacklocks.ca/deficit-figure… #storytelling #cdnpoli

I was recently asked how I'm able to share information that many Canadians never hear about—stories that often receive little or no media coverage. The answer is simple: people trust us with information. Over the years, I've been fortunate to earn the confidence of individuals who have firsthand knowledge of what's really happening behind the scenes. Many of them take significant personal and professional risks by speaking out. Some could jeopardize their careers, their businesses, or their reputations. They trust us to protect their identities while helping Canadians better understand issues that may affect them directly. Years ago, these same people could often turn to the media to tell their stories and contribute to a more informed public debate. Today, that has become far more difficult. Many feel their perspectives are unwelcome unless they align with prevailing narratives. Whether one agrees with that assessment or not, it is a reality frequently expressed by those who contact me. Academia faces similar challenges. In my experience, many scholars are reluctant to engage publicly on controversial issues. Some prefer to remain silent, others avoid certain topics altogether, and some have simply grown tired of the hostility and professional risks that can come with expressing unpopular views. The result is fewer voices participating in important public conversations. That is why I continue to do what I do. A healthy democracy depends on citizens having access to information, competing viewpoints, and open debate. Canadians deserve to hear the full story—not just the parts that are convenient or politically acceptable. I am grateful for the people who continue to share information with us, and for the media organizations that still provide space for independent voices, including Postmedia and Les Affaires. I am also deeply thankful to my friend and co-host, Michael LeBlanc. The success of The Food Professor Podcast would not have been possible without his insight, professionalism, curiosity, and unwavering commitment to asking important questions. What began as an idea has grown into one of Canada's most listened-to management podcasts, and I am privileged to share that journey with him every week. The work is becoming more challenging, but it remains worthwhile. A free pen is far mightier than censorship. That belief is at the heart of everything I do.

A little micro story about federal government accountability: in 2022, the then-Trudeau government began publishing a data set on the administrative use of government aircraft, detailing flights made by the RCAF fleet of Challenger jets used by the PM, GG and cabinet. 1/

WATCH: Former NDP leader @ThomasMulcair argues there is no such thing as a "technical recession," saying two consecutive quarters of negative growth is simply a recession and that @PierrePoilievre is right to press the government hard on it

“Even foreign ambassadors posted in Ottawa are talking about it. When diplomats from other countries are quietly snickering at the weakness of the government’s front bench, we may have a serious problem.” winnipegsun.com/opinion/koop…

Advocacy group Canadian Taxpayers Federation found that almost $200,000 was spent feeding Carney and other government officials on just three out-of-country flights in 2025. The Prime Minister's in-flight menu included fine wine, braised beef and 'luxury' butter nationalpost.com/news/canada…

Every time Mark Carney goes to the UK he mentions how Canada is just like them… so, I’ve booked my trip and I’m ready to go see for myself. Not looking good so far, as this is on the travel advisory from Canada… “There is a threat of terrorism in Europe. Terrorists have carried out attacks in several European cities. In the United Kingdom, previous attacks have resulted in casualties. They have included random violent incidents in public areas, such as knife and vehicle attacks as well as explosions. These incidents have occurred mainly in the London area but have also happened elsewhere.”

Remember that Chinese-owned infant formula manufacturing plant in Kingston? Canada Royal Milk? Did Canadian taxpayers help finance a facility that is now exporting products made from quota-protected Canadian milk to China? Stay tuned.

Our mainstream media refused to accept that killing energy projects & adding “weather “ taxes/regulations would have a devastating effect on our economy. Yours truly was ostracized by many for having the courage and foresight to posit, resist and warn about the NetZero calamity

They really, really trust him (link in comments)

What's the difference between a technical recession and a recession? About $2 billion of taxpayer funding to media outlets.

The Canadian public has been told this agreement exists.  But we have not been told what it actually says — because the RCMP has stated it will not release the document without Beijing’s permission. That is not how a democracy operates. Canadians do not need a foreign government’s consent to know what their own police force has agreed to. We call on the Government of Canada to release all details of the RCMP–Ministry of Public Security MOU to Parliament and the Canadian public immediately. This agreement was not signed in a vacuum. It was signed against a backdrop of sustained, documented, and escalating interference by the People’s Republic of China against Canada and Canadians. @rcmpgrcpolice

#BREAKING A Canadian man has been sentenced to 33 years in federal prison for targeting over 100 children across the U.S. in one of FBI Houston's largest sextortion cases. For years, Ramanan Pathmanathan, 40, used multiple social media accounts to contact at least 145 girls and boys demanding them to engage in sexually explicit conduct. If they declined, he threatened to send compromising images to the children’s friends or family. This was a years-long investigation by FBI Houston's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force and @TXDPSsoutheast. ow.ly/WJyB50Z4RLk
