Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

In French: “There’s no causality between the method and the end result. This pretext that there’s Donald Trump, so we’re going to dilapidate the collective wealth of Quebeckers and Canadians, in a way that’ll have no impact on the economy until well after the end of Trump’s reign,” Blanchet said.

I can't believe people are saying Carney walking away from the deal was a genius move and not something he was basically forced to do the moment the language stuff came up. If Carney tried to touch Quebec's language laws, he'd be done politically. He can't do that and he knows it.

I have a lot to say about this. Declassification work takes time, but it is essential. People have no idea how many records they don't have access to, not because they legally shouldn't have access to it, but because the work to make them accessible simply isn't done.

Reporting from TVA suggests the Montreal shooting may have been tied to incel ideology. They're reporting the manifesto, which is dozens of pages, has to do with incel ideology. Investigators are also looking at a similar incident in Sask involving the RCMP. www.tvanouvelles.ca/2026/06/22/u...
TVA nouvelle liveblog post, shared at 16h49, reads:

Le suspect lié à l'idéologie «Incel» des célibataires involontaires
Selon le journaliste d'enquête Félix Séguin, le suspect aurait rédigé un manifeste de plusieurs dizaines de pages s'apparentant à l'idéologie «Incel», soit des célibataires involontaires ciblant le féminisme. Les enquêteurs examinent aussi un incident similaire en Saskatchewan impliquant des agents de la GRC.
« C'est clairement un homme qui avait des visées terroristes », a expliqué Félix Séguin sur les ondes de LCN.

L'homme serait arrivé de l'Alberta en voiture pour louer une chambre d'hôtel à Montréal avant d'attaquer des policiers.

The moderators of the AskCanada subreddit were so sick of posts that were like "American here, I come in peace, we're so ashamed of Trump, please adopt us, do you still like me Y/N" that they posted a new rule with what I thought was a very well-expressed sentiment
Moratoriums on specific topics
The moderation team recognizes that recent developments and ongoing events in the United States have generated significant concern and frustration for many Americans. However, we ask that users be mindful that r/AskCanada is a Canadian focused space, and that discussion here is intended to center Canadian perspectives, experiences, and questions.

Posts asking about:

US states joining Canada

Americans receiving refugee or asylum status in Canada

Canadians providing assistance, shelter, or advocacy for Americans

Apologies, self positioning, or “one of the good ones” statements directed at Canadians

are not permitted and will be removed.

Canada is not a backup plan for the United States, nor does it exist to mitigate or absorb the consequences of US political or social failures. Responsibility for addressing these issues rests with the United States and should be addressed through its own domestic processes and institutions.

Thank you to all users for your understanding and cooperation as we enforce these rules going forward.
