Marc Miller is a Mark Carney Liberal cabinet minister — and a holdover from Justin Trudeau's government. In fact, most of Carney's cabinet is. From Mélanie Joly to François-Philippe Champagne to Anita Anand, the same names keep reappearing. It's difficult to take seriously claims that this is a “new” government in any meaningful sense, or slogans like “Canada is back,” when the same people have been running the country for nearly a decade. More outrageous still is the Liberals' ongoing attempt to blame Stephen Harper for current failures — even though his government ended eleven years ago. That argument has long since passed from implausible into absurd. One of the worst holdovers is Marc Miller. It is surprising he remains in cabinet at all, given that his chief qualification appears to have been his personal friendship with Justin Trudeau — including serving as a member of Trudeau's wedding party. That relationship, rather than any demonstrated competence, explains his rise and longevity in power. Today, Miller holds the title of Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture — a disturbing mandate in itself. A minister in charge of defining “identity” should concern anyone who believes such things emerge organically from history, culture, and shared experience, not government decree. The irony is that the same Liberal Party once described Canada as a “post-national” country — more a hotel than a homeland. Miller previously served as Minister of Immigration, where he oversaw a period of reckless and historically unprecedented mass immigration that did profound damage to social trust, public services, and national cohesion. This is the same government that removed Sir John A. Macdonald from the ten-dollar bill, rewrote the national anthem, tore down statues, and casually accused Canada of committing genocide. It is difficult to take lectures on national identity seriously from officials who have spent years dismantling it. Against that backdrop, Miller recently testified before a parliamentary committee and was questioned by Conservative MP Rachael Thomas about “social cohesion.” The question was straightforward and reasonable. In other countries, “social cohesion” has become a euphemism for enforced silence: in China, obedience; in the United Kingdom, avoiding discussion of politically inconvenient crimes for fear of being labelled Islamophobic. What, exactly, does it mean in Canada? Miller's answer did little to clarify matters. He warned of “intense disinformation” and claimed social cohesion is weakened when “falsities are propagated through media sources both legitimate and illegitimate.” That raises an obvious question: who decides which media sources are “illegitimate”? Canadians were recently told, incorrectly and repeatedly, that a mass murderer was female — even described as “a female in a dress” in emergency alerts. This misinformation was amplified by police, politicians, and much of the mainstream media, including the CBC. The state broadcaster went so far as to emphasize pronouns and refer to the killer by first name, as though discussing a personal acquaintance. Was that disinformation? Or, in Marc Miller's framework, was it “social cohesion” — the deliberate suppression of uncomfortable facts in the name of public calm? More troubling still is Miller's assertion that a strong, dominant CBC is essential to Canadian democracy. He describes the broadcaster as independent, despite its consistent alignment with Liberal positions on everything from climate policy to Donald Trump to gender ideology. On no major cultural or political issue does the CBC meaningfully dissent from the governing party that funds it. This is the practical reality of government-subsidized media. As one Liberal MP bluntly told a National Post reporter on X: https://x.com/Taleeb/status/1832480006578028641 “Your paper wouldn't be in business were it not for the subsidies that the government that you hate put in place — the same subsidies your Trump-adjacent foreign hedge fund owners gladly take to pay your salary.” That is not independence. That is power reminding journalists who pays the bills. This authoritarian instinct is familiar. It echoes Justin Trudeau's own worldview — that there is a single, approved truth, known by the governing class, and that dissent is illegitimate. Trudeau has said as much openly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDfMybczw1k And more explicitly still: https://x.com/AreOhEssEyeEe/status/1758912476572189069 “They don't believe in science or progress and are very often misogynistic and racist… Do we tolerate these people?” Those words were not rhetorical. The Trudeau government arrested peaceful protesters, froze hundreds of bank accounts, and punished citizens for embarrassing the regime. With new censorship laws now advancing, there is every reason to believe the same logic will be extended further. Independent media coverage of the recent transgender mass murder will almost certainly be cited as justification for additional controls on speech and journalism.

Prime Minister Mark Carney framed five years and an estimated $11-12 billion in GST rebate hikes as a 'bridge' to help Canadians in the near-term, as they wait for his policies to transform the broader Canadian economy to pay off. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne defends the spend, and Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer explains why his party won't 'stand in the way' of the measure — but lays out the limitations on his party's broader pledge for co-operation.

Dans son premier budget, le ministre des Finances, François-Philippe Champagne, prévoit un déficit budgétaire de près de 80 milliards de dollars.

Today, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is set to deliver the first budget under Prime Minister Mark Carney. Early announcements have signalled sweeping cuts to the public sector. There's no guarantee that the budget will pass, given Carney is presiding over a minority government. The NDP has said they wouldn't rule out abstaining from the budget vote; for his part, Carney has said he's ready to fight another election campaign if it comes down to that.But beneath all the politics surrounding the budget are actual policies and plans for the government. It's the job of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, or PBO, to provide non-partisan analysis of these plans to parliamentarians – does the math add up? Are these predictions sound? Today on the show, Yves Giroux, who was the PBO from 2018 until early September this year, is here to walk us through what to watch for when the budget drops later today.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

La reciente visita a México de la ministra de Exteriores de Canadá, Anita Anand, y el ministro de Finanzas, François-Philippe Champagne, para reunirse con la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum, ha puesto de relieve la intención de ambos países de reforzar su asociación, en un momento en que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha aumentado los aranceles a productos canadienses al 35%, y mantiene la presión sobre México en el marco del Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá (T-MEC).  En un escenario de crecientes tensiones comerciales con Estados Unidos, México y Canadá han comenzado a explorar un fortalecimiento de sus lazos bilaterales, una movida que los analistas interpretan con una mezcla de optimismo y escepticismo. Si bien la idea de un frente común entusiasma a algunos, otros expertos advierten sobre los desafíos que podrían obstaculizar una colaboración más profunda, como lo explica Derzu Ramírez, director académico de la licenciatura en Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla en México. "Tengo mis reservas sobre hasta qué punto Canadá y México puedan lograr un acercamiento real y sustancioso, porque la historia reciente nos dice que Canadá siempre ha visto con cierto recelo a México en términos de la región de América del Norte, en el sentido de que lo ve como un competidor económico que le puede restar presencia en el mercado estadounidense y también inversiones", explica a RFI. No obstante, para Derzu Ramírez los desafíos van más allá: "Entre Canadá y México, no solamente está la relación económica. También ha habido roces importantes en la cuestión de las visas. En algunas ocasiones, Canadá ha impuesto la necesidad de visas para que los mexicanos puedan ir a ese país. Ese tipo de situaciones responden mucho a presiones de los Estados Unidos". Lo que tendríamos que ver bien es que México siga siendo un país confiable. A pesar de las dudas, existen áreas claras donde la cooperación podría ser beneficiosa para ambas naciones: "Para México, Canadá es un inversor importante. No es el más importante, pero es un inversor significativo, sobre todo en la cuestión de minería y de energía. Creo que ahí lo que tendríamos que ver bien es que México siga siendo un país confiable, que brinde certidumbre jurídica, sobre todo en este sector, y que México no pierda ese poder de atraer este tipo de inversiones canadienses". Para el profesor Ramírez, el hecho de que la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum descarte públicamente la posibilidad de firmar un tratado comercial bilateral con este país le envía un mensaje claro a la Casa Blanca: "Dejarle muy claro que México y Canadá no van a buscar un acuerdo bilateral que saque a Estados Unidos. Eso yo lo interpreto como una forma de no generar ningún tipo de suspicacia, ningún tipo de enojo por parte del Gobierno de Trump". Trump elevó del 25% al 35% el arancel a los productos canadienses, mientras le dio una prórroga de 90 días durante la cual se mantendrá el arancel del 25% sobre productos mexicanos. Están exentos los productos que integran el tratado de libre comercio vigente entre Estados Unidos, México y Canadá.
