"This decision now stands as binding precedent. It places real legal constraints on future governments and ensures that the Emergencies Act cannot be repurposed as a political convenience. It restores the act to what Parliament intended: a narrow, exceptional tool, not a blunt instrument against dissent. The government spent millions defending the indefensible. It lost completely. And in doing so, it handed Canadians one of the most important civil liberties rulings in a generation. That is worth celebrating.” @cvangeyn nationalpost.com/opinion/chr…

I don’t believe this source was unauthorized. I just don’t “A Canadian government official said there are continuing communications with Washington, but no formal negotiations right now. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.” theglobeandmail.com/politics…

Canada Has Re-Emerged: "I think Canada as an attractive place to deploy capital has re-emerged." "Lots of interesting oil reserves all over the country, and a very high quality, technical workforce who know the industry." "We've always viewed it that way at TPH, and I think increasingly a lot of US companies are too." •Bobby Tudor - CEO, Artemis Energy Partners

Quebec City landlord on Louay Angoud, 24, charged in an alleged ISIS chemical-weapon plot: Guillaume Ratté-Côté says the RCMP called Wednesday night for access to the apartment He told CBC Angoud often said he was a “militant Muslim.” “He told me some things like he was celebrating the 11th of September. Once he told me that Muslim people were invading the west and specifically that Quebec was an easy place for that.” To La Presse he described him as a young Muslim who was “very, very fundamentalist” and said he would “celebrate” 9/11. “He was left here by his family. He’s Tunisian. His family came here, then they left and left him here. I tried to help him a bit at first.” “I even talked about him on the radio! Why? Among other things because one day he told me he couldn’t work because he was celebrating September 11th.” “I wouldn’t fall off my chair if he’d been influenced by others. I’d have a hard time believing he was the leader of anything.” Police say h's not a citizen, no legal status in Canada, no prior record, no chemicals found, no imminent attack. Detained. Bail Monday... Allegations unproven in court (H/T to @BSocial_CCFR)

"The filings trace the money through seven numbered companies, a Calgary bullion dealer and personal accounts at all five of Canada's largest banks, held by more than 20 people with Chinese names, and to a string of addresses across the Toronto suburbs of Markham, Scarborough, Richmond Hill and North York. The structure they describe closely matches the Chinese professional money laundering methods that Canada’s financial intelligence agency described in a 2023 alert on underground banking networks tied to China and Hong Kong, and it points toward global money movements far larger than one fraud. Westshore alleges that fraudsters impersonating employees of its contractor, Kingston Construction Ltd., diverted $6,218,200 into a TD Bank account in Markham held by 17549041 Canada Inc., a federal numbered company incorporated in December 2025."

Dominic LeBlanc "So I took note of Ambassador Greer's comments this morning. They're very consistent with the conversations I've had with him over the last number of weeks. ...But we're not waiting by the phone or I'm not looking at my phone to see if I've got a text from Howard Lutnick or Jamieson Greer." @DLeBlancNB
Jamieson Greer on Canadian trade on CBC this am "We're comfortable with where we are. You know, the Canadians again, periodically they come and they want to have a deal." "They call us now and then, and we have good conversations about potential deals. But it's not. No urgency on our side, I would say." @jamiesongreer @JoeSquawk

The BC NDP disqualified Eby’s only opponent in their leadership race, crowning him Premier without a single vote cast. They are in no position to ever judge any other party on their internal processes. They focus on this instead of the economy, jobs, health?
New Democrats call news conf to expose problem of Conservatives having interim leader. David Eby called an unnecessary election 48 hours after resignation of KLF, leaving Conservatives no choice but to appoint interim leader. Eby govt has no sense of fair play or shame.

UPDATE: Former Conservative MLA for Abbotsford-Mission Reann Gasper, who gave up her seat unsolicited to trigger a byelection subsequently cancelled by Eby’s Tuesday writ drop, has provided an update on her nomination process in the riding.
CORRECTION - I incorrectly reported last night that Reann Gasper was confirmed as the Conservative candidate to run in Abbotsford-Mission. At this point, she is only vying to be the nominee but has not yet been green lit by the party.

"Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy says it would be shocking to the average American to see the United States invade Canada. Dunleavy made his remarks in an onstage discussion at the Global Business Forum in Banff, Alta., days after Prime Minister Mark Carney told the New York Times that his government has studied the “extreme tail risk” of U.S.-led military action in Canada.

"A Canadian has been charged in the United States with three counts of voter fraud for casting ballots in three elections without being a U.S. citizen. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Florida says Christiane Vinette Young voted in the 2024 and 2022 general elections and the 2022 primary elections, despite knowing she was not a U.S. citizen. The office says the 75-year-old was illegally present in the United States when she voted"

"The manhunt for fugitive killer Mason Jenkins raises many more questions that will need answers. Jenkins, 49, originally from Chatham, escaped from the Collins Bay Penitentiary Thursday morning and has not been seen since. He will stand out if seen in public. Correctional Services Canada describes him as a “white male, 5-foot-9, approximately 255 pounds with a fair complexion, brown eyes and brown hair, which is currently shaved bald” and wearing a “light green jacket, blue jeans, and rubber boots.” One of the biggest questions that must be addressed is the part where it is said Jenkins was being held in minimum security inside this institution on Bath Rd. in Kingston." @joe_warmington

Day 34 Update: Talibanification A grueling month has passed since Bank Commander @MarkJCarney declared the Canada-US War. B.C. Carney is demanding his crack Laurentian Elite shock troops master Taliban-style guerrilla tactics for a long campaign ahead. Today's Battle Plan 👇
Can someone explain to @MarkJCarney that we're not going to send the Alabama Nat'l Guard to conquer Canada in the middle of college football season? They can't afford a weekend away. If he must pump out Laurentian Elite erotica to boost hysteria, at least make it believable.
