More reconciliation overreach? Gulf Islands users blindsided by proposed Indigenous power shift
https://www.rebelnews.com/more_reconciliation_overreach_gulf_islands_users_blindsided_by_proposed_indigenous_power_shift
Sweeping governance changes proposed by the Islands Trust in partnership with First Nations could significantly reshape property rights, boating activity, marina operations, and public access across British Columbia’s Gulf Islands.
Many non-Indigenous landowners and Gulf Islands users say they were left in the dark about a local government’s proposed changes to land and marine policy, with some only learning about its public consultation survey just before it closed on Monday.
The sweeping changes proposed by the provincially and municipally governed Islands Trust emphasize plans to grant First Nations a greater governance role with shared decision-making on public and potentially private-use lands. This follows growing concerns of reconciliation overreach in British Columbia in wake of the Cowichan decision — including impacts to private property and fishing rights. Continue…

Carney Liberals axe special envoy roles on Islamophobia, antisemitism
https://thepostmillennial.com/carney-liberals-axe-special-envoy-roles-on-islamophobia-antisemitism
Prime Minister Mark Carney's government announced on Wednesday that it is eliminating Canada’s special envoy positions focused on combating Islamophobia and antisemitism, replacing them with a single advisory body. Culture and Identity Minister Marc Miller said the two roles will be folded into a new “Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion."
“The Advisory Council will be comprised of prominent Canadians from academia, experts and community leaders with a mission to foster social cohesion, rally Canadians around shared identity, combat racism and hate in all their forms, and help guide the efforts of the Government of Canada,” Miller said in a news release. No members of the council were immediately named, reports the Globe and Mail.
The decision comes despite Carney having pledged during his 2025 Liberal leadership campaign to retain both special envoy positions. At the time, his team said a Carney-led government would “always stand against hatred and discrimination in all its forms.” Continue…
Canadian Tate McRae cheers on Team USA
https://www.westernstandard.news/news/canadian-tate-mcrae-cheers-on-team-usa/70939
Tate McRae has betrayed Canada.
Okay, not really — this is more of a subjective take, if you will, as she posted on Tuesday on her Instagram of a clip promoting the American Olympic team.
The ad was pushing NBC's packed weekend schedule, with McRae skiing up to an owl to discuss the network's lineup, which included the Winter Olympics' Opening Ceremony in Milano Cortina.
Some commenters were less than ecstatic with the promotion.
McRae says in the clip she'd like to "meet Team USA and meet America's best skating for gold."
Some questioned why she was doing this — since of course, she is Canadian, born in Calgary.
A commenter, wrote, "the very american Tate mcrae 🇨🇦."
"Uhh isn’t she Canadian?? What is she doing 💀😭," one user wrote, as reported by TMZ.
Another added, "girl you’re canadian pls what is this."

Police say a drug trafficking investigation in northeast Calgary has led to the discovery of a methamphetamine production lab, the seizure of drugs, weapons and cash, and charges against four city residents.
The investigation began in December 2025 after officers received reports of suspicious activity consistent with drug trafficking in the Coral Springs community.
On Jan. 30, police executed a search warrant at a home in the 0 to 100 block of Coral Springs Boulevard N.E.
During the search, officers uncovered a meth production lab located inside a shed on the property.
Police also seized $7,210 in cash, along with cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and GHB, with a combined street value in the thousands of dollars. Investigators also found materials believed to be used for drug manufacturing, stolen property, a device used for vehicle theft, and several weapons.
Among the items seized were a baton, stun gun, butterfly knife, firearm parts and ammunition.
As a result of the investigation, Michael Richard Currie, 42, Darris Jan Bert Watroba, 36, Daneal Patricia Graham, 45, and Jennifer Anne Fitger, 46, all of Calgary, were charged. Continue…
Carney Praises Former PM Harper for His Policy, Legislative Accomplishments at Portrait Ceremony
https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/carney-praises-former-pm-harper-for-his-policy-legislative-accomplishments-at-portrait-ceremony-5980440?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=carney-praises-former-pm-harper-for-his-policy,-legislative-accomplishments-at-portrait-ceremony-0
Prime Minister Mark Carney praised former Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his policy and legislative accomplishments, such as his financial policies during the recession, investments in Arctic infrastructure, and his motion acknowledging Quebec as a nation within Canada, while speaking at Harper’s official portrait ceremony in Ottawa.
Harper’s portrait was unveiled in a ceremony at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building in downtown Ottawa on Feb. 3. The portrait was painted by Canadian artist Phil Richards, who is known for the Diamond Jubilee Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
The portrait depicts Harper in the 1920 office of the prime minister, which Richards noted is undergoing renovations but was recreated based on original architectural drawings. He said the painting contains elements of Harper’s personal and professional past.
Harper served as Canada’s 22nd prime minister from 2006 to 2015, when he stepped down after his Conservative Party lost the election to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. He was the longest-serving Conservative prime minister since Canada’s first prime minister in 1891.
Speaking at the ceremony, Carney said Harper’s portrait pays tribute to his service to others, his leadership, and his love for Canada, noting that Harper “brought composure, intellect, and decisiveness to public life.”
Carney, who was appointed as governor of the Bank of Canada under Harper, said Harper has “an extensive record of policy and legislative accomplishments.” He praised Harper’s financial decisions during the 2008 financial crisis, noting that the former prime minister ran deficits at the time “to support the Canadian economy,” despite his belief in keeping a balanced budget.

Tory MP and JD Vance Friend Jamil Jivani Headed to Washington to Help With Trade Deal
https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/tory-mp-and-j-d-vance-friend-jamil-jivani-headed-to-washington-to-help-with-trade-deal-5980491?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=tory-mp-and-jd-vance-friend-jamil-jivani-headed-to-washington-to-help-with-trade-deal-0
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says he is travelling to Washington to help Canada in trade talks with the United States.
Jivani is a close friend and the former university roommate of U.S. Vice President JD Vance and previously met with Vance in December 2024 ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s return to serve a second term in the White House.
In announcing his current plan to help Canada on trade issues with Washington, Jivani said it’s in the interest of all Canadians to work together for a deal and it’s “not a partisan issue.”
“The reality is that this is not a partisan issue,” Jivani said in a video posted to X on Feb. 3, saying he wants to help with negotiations on U.S. trade and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), also referred to as the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
“CUSMA and trade with the United States is so important to the Canadian economy and to our future as an independent, self-reliant nation that Conservatives and Liberals don’t need to fight over this at all. In fact, we need to work together.”
However, Jivani went on to criticize Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “elbows up” campaign against Trump, saying he doesn’t find it effective. Continue…

An Ontario court has fined cosmetic company Estée Lauder $750,000 after the brand pleaded guilty to using “forever chemicals” in some of its eyeliners.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) enforcement officers discovered the chemical perfluorononyl dimethicone in Estee Lauder eyeliners in 2023.
The substance is a silicone polymer that is used in cosmetic products to increase the hold, durability, spreadability and water or oil resistance of face makeup, according to a Feb. 2 government news release.
It is among the class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that is sometimes referred to as a “forever” chemical because it does not break down and can remain in the environment and human or animal bodies for a long time. Continue…
