If you read scripture in public that condemns homosexuality, you might soon be jailed in Canada if Canada’s latest Bill C-9 passes. The proposed law would define “harm” as making public statements protected groups would find offensive.

She quoted Leviticus. Now she faces prison. Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen did not incite violence. She did not threaten anyone. She simply stated what Christians have believed for 2,000 years: that certain behaviors are sinful according to Scripture. For this, she has been prosecuted, threatened, and targeted — and now watches as Canada races down the same road with Bill C-9.
This is not about one law in one country. It is about a global redefinition of “harm” that criminalizes the very act of holding traditional religious beliefs. Räsänen’s case reveals the new logic: Offense is violence. Disagreement is hate. And the state now decides which doctrines are permissible and which are punishable.
Kristin is a wife and a mother who was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. What followed was not just a battle against disease, but a fight for her very dignity.
Living in Canada, Kristin says doctors told her that her only option was physician-assisted suicide. Instead of offering aggressive treatment or hope, she was allegedly told that her condition was terminal and that procedures like HIPEC surgery would not save her life.
Rather than honoring her life, the system presented her with a devastating alternative: end her life early instead of pursuing further care.
But Kristin and her husband, Donovan, refused to accept that answer.
Former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig is sounding the alarm about Canada seeking deeper trade ties with China in the face of growing tensions and uncertainty with the U.S., warning the pivot carries significant risks to Canada’s economic security.
Speaking Tuesday at the Future of Business Summit in Ottawa, Kovrig — a longtime China analyst who was arbitrarily detained by Beijing for more than 1,000 days after Canada detained Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou — said Ottawa’s new China strategy is a “risky play” that will not be viewed kindly by Washington and could threaten trade talks.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb says he exchanges messages with Prime Minister Mark Carney almost every day.
“We’re tight,” Stubb said with a smile.
Now, Stubb and Carney have the opportunity to talk in person.
Stubb is in Ottawa for his first official bilateral meetings with Canada’s prime minister. The pair are working to develop trade and defence ties, according to Carney’s office.
“With shared interests, values and a commitment to international security, I look forward to hosting President Stubb to deepen our partnership to create stability, security and prosperity for both our peoples,” Carney wrote in a statement.
One of the ways Stubb said he maintains that partnership is through regular communication.
He said that being the leader of a “small country” means that “information is power.”
(LifeSiteNews) — A Montreal doctor called on the Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney to support a private members’ bill that will stop a planned expansion of euthanasia to those with mental illness in Canada.
In a Monday press conference on Parliament Hill on Monday, members of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC), including Dr. Peter Blusanovics, who has treated many with mental illnesses, urged support of Conservative Private Members Bill C-218.
Blusanovics, who is a family doctor based in Montreal, said he spoke to be a voice to “provide a voice for our most vulnerable — those who have and are suffering from mental illness.”
“Bill C-218 needs to pass to put a stop to euthanasia for people with mental illness,” said the doctor, adding, “Basic needs are currently not being met in our health care system.”
“Without this bill, we are condoning a bypass towards suicide and blatantly admitting defeat. Mental illness needs to be properly identified and treated,” he said.
Canada’s coalition government is effectively over after two special elections have secured a simple majority for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party. The possibility of gaining a simple majority happened after five members of opposition parties defected to join the liberals.

The result for a Quebec district was expected later.
The Liberal Party could stay in power until 2029 after Monday’s results.
Canadian man resisting euthanasia receives sacraments from traditional Catholic priest– www.lifesitenews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A disabled man known for speaking out against Canada’s aggressive euthanasia regime recently received sacraments, including Extreme Unction, from a traditional Catholic priest.
Roger Foley, who suffers from an incurable and degenerative brain disease, told LifeSiteNews that he welcomed the opportunity to have a priest visit after a period of health decline despite the fact that he has long been irreligious.
“It was a very wonderful experience,” Foley said regarding the visit. “I felt honored and humbled, especially with the kindness and knowledge of the priest. I would tell him how confused I am and he would tell me more about the Catholic faith. He answered a lot of my questions.”
Foley admitted that it is difficult for him to have faith, “especially now because of all the bad things that have happened to me,” though he accepts Catholic teaching about the sacraments. His condition makes it difficult for him to move, and he can no longer eat or drink, receiving his nourishment from IV fluids. On top of this he has suffered pain, severe fatigue and cognitive decline, as well as cruel behavior from hospital staff.
Canada has taken a major step toward enforcing chilling restrictions on religious expression after lawmakers passed controversial legislation that will criminalize quoting parts of the Bible under the globalist government’s “hate speech” laws.
Members of Parliament approved Bill C-9, dubbed the “Combatting Hate Act,” in a 186–137 vote.
The ruling Liberal Party and left-wing Bloc Québécois MPs are pushing the measure through.
A Canadian human rights tribunal in British Columbia has ordered a former school trustee from Chilliwack to pay $750,000 in damages for insisting there are only two genders.
The tribunal ruled that Barry Neufeld’s public comments about transgender and nonbinary people constituted discrimination under the province’s Human Rights Code.
Canada’s department in charge of Indigenous relations essentially censored what it calls “confidential” files related to a First Nations community spending millions searching for alleged mass graves at former Canadian residential schools.
Canada’s Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations recently placed as “confidential” all files relating to $12.1 million paid to the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation for an alleged grave dig that turned up nothing to date.
The “confidential” file ruling comes, as reported by LifeSiteNews, after the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation recently admitted that its quest to find graves of hundreds of children on the site of former residential schools, which sparked massive arson attacks on Catholic churches across Canada, has come up empty.
The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations recently released the censored reports from 2023; all of the main details were redacted as “confidential.”
If you want to kill yourself in Canada, you can go to a local suicide provider, get approval, and then be suicided all IN ONE DAY! This isn’t new, it’s just recently been exposed by the Canadian government. It has revealed thousands of citizens have already gotten approval for “Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)” less than 24 hours before being suicided by the state’s suicide doctors. The most recent statistics show 16,500 Canadians were killed by assisted suicide in 2024 alone.
Canadian Government Begins Euthanizing Public with ‘Same-Day’ Lethal Injections – slaynews.com
The Canadian government has begun ramping up the nation’s disturbing “assisted suicide” program after official data revealed that thousands of citizens have been euthanized with state-sanctioned lethal injections within 24 hours.
Canada’s taxpayer-funded euthanasia program is drawing renewed scrutiny after a new report found that the government has already been quietly performing thousands of same-day “assisted suicides.”
The revelations come as Canada continues expanding its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) system, a program critics warn is rapidly transforming the country’s approach to healthcare, disability, and end-of-life care.
The Canadian government has created a committee filled with euthanasia advocates to determine whether or not Canada should expand assisted suicide to those with mental illness, but a few Members of Parliament on the committee promise to advocate for life.
The Special Joint Parliamentary Committee is made up of 10 MPs and five senators who will look at Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program to determine whether it should be expanded yet again.
One of the committee members is pro-life Conservative MP Andrew Lawton, who announced on X that “I’m honoured to be named to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, which will review the incoming expansion of MAID to people with solely a mental illness and no physical ailments.”
“This expansion comes into force next year unless new legislation is passed.”
Successive Leftist governments in Canada allowed massive levels of immigration from Hamas supporting countries. This is the result. Canada’s Jewish community being terrorized with near impunity. Negligible responses from all levels of Canada’s government. Shame on Canada. The future of Canada’s Jewish community is looking increasingly bleak.
Three shootings at GTA synagogues in one week! This isn’t just about the safety of one community—it’s about the future of our cities, our provinces, and our country.
Conservatives: Michael Cooper, Todd Doherty, Tamara Jansen and Andrew Lawton.

The committee should not derail Private Members Bill C-218, which like it’s predecessor in the last parliament (Bill C-314) would prevent euthanasia (MAiD) for mental illness alone. Bill C-218 has gained significant traction within the governing Liberal Party.

Canada’s defence chief Gen. Jennie Carignan said allies are in talks about possibly helping Persian Gulf states defend themselves against bombing from Iran.
Speaking to reporters at a defence and security conference in Ottawa Thursday, Carignan said a meeting is set for early Friday morning to discuss such a proposal among allied militaries and the Canadian Armed Forces would present a recommendation to the government.
“The Gulf states must also indicate what they need,” Carignan said in French. “We are in communication with them to get an idea of the needs because it’s clear that if they don’t need us… we won’t look at options to support them.”
MELBOURNE, Australia — The Canadian and Australian prime ministers on Thursday called for a de-escalation of the Iran war but added the Iranians must never gain a nuclear weapon.
Canada’s Mark Carney and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese discussed the war during their meeting in Australia’s capital, Canberra.
The meeting came after news that a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean and Turkey said NATO defenses intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran before it entered Turkey’s airspace.
This Canadian Man Is Poor, So the Government Offered to Kill Him. Here’s What Happened. – townhall.com
Given the insanity that’s gripped Canada, calling a transgender school shooter a ‘gunperson,’ and a host of other social policies that are outright nuts, let’s revisit an old 2022 story about then-54-year-old Amir Farsoud, who was going through the process of government-sponsored suicide.
Farsoud suffers from crippling back pain and couldn’t find a new place to live when his rooming house at the time was up for sale. He couldn’t afford any place to live and barely got by on the $1,200 disability payments he received in Ontario. He wouldn’t make it on the streets, and knowing that, opted to apply for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAIDS). He fit the criteria, but his doctor knew the real reason why Farsoud was applying for MAIDS. He signed off anyway.
In essence, the Canadian government told a poor man that death is an option and that we’re here for you since you can’t find a new home. Farsoud said that he doesn’t want to be dead
Eden Schwartz, the school’s diversity, equity and inclusion coordinator, said families have played a central role in shaping the celebration.
“Part of my job is helping the students bring their cultural celebrations to life, but I really lean on them to see what they want to do,” she added.
“For the past three years, we’ve had families who’ve really just jumped in and taken control of the event and the boys love it.”
The dumpling workshop was just one of several Chinese New Year events at the school. Students also watched a lion dance performance, learned about the Chinese zodiac and walked through halls decorated with red lanterns.
The report stated that in Ontario there were 5303 reported euthanasia deaths in 2025 which was up from 4944 in 2024, which represented a 7.2% increase. This was up from 4641 euthanasia deaths in 2023 which represented a 6.5% increase that year.
This indicates that the growth in euthanasia deaths is increasing, not stabilizing.
The report indicated that all Ontario MAiD deaths, in 2025, were clinician administered (euthanasia). In jurisdictions that legalize both euthanasia and assisted suicide, nearly all of the deaths are euthanasia.
(LifeSiteNews) — A motion for a “permanent stay of proceedings” was filed by a Canadian legal group to try and stop a $290 million class-action lawsuit filed by disgruntled Ottawa residents against the Freedom Convoy leaders.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said in a press release that its lawyers have filed a motion for a permanent stay of proceedings in the case and hope the suit will be dropped.
“The integrity of the justice system depends on transparency between all parties,” constitutional lawyer James Manson said about the case.
“When one side secretly enters into an agreement with a defendant that requires cooperation against others, and then does not disclose that agreement immediately, as required by law, the basic fairness of the process is fundamentally undermined. Courts cannot permit litigation to proceed on a foundation that has been compromised in this way.”
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the JCCF had recently announced it has a “significant procedural development” that could put the case “on hold.”
In February 2022, Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich, Chris Barber, and others were hit with the lawsuit, which originally started at $9.8 million but ballooned to $290 million.
The class-action lawsuit was filed by Ottawa civil servant Zexi Li on February 4, 2022, along with Geoffrey Delaney, Happy Goat Coffee Company, and a local union. It names plaintiffs who have businesses or were working in the city’s downtown core during the Freedom Convoy.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, a court said last year that the lawsuit could proceed.
According to the JCCF, the motion to put the case on hold comes from “the plaintiffs’ failure to immediately disclose a settlement agreement reached in April 2024 with one of the defendants.”
The JCCF noted in April 2024 that Chad Eros, one of its defendants, signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. The JCCF said that at the time that “Mr. Eros did not have a lawyer formally on the court record.”
The JCCF said that the defendant “was self-represented at the time. The agreement required him to provide documents to the plaintiffs for use against other defendants, participate in a private interview of up to five hours, provide an affidavit in support of the plaintiffs, make himself available for cross-examination, and pay $60,000 in exchange for his release from the action.”
“Although Ontario law requires such types of partial settlement agreements to be disclosed immediately to the other parties in the litigation, in this case the agreement was not disclosed to other defence counsel until January 27, 2026, nearly 22 months after it was executed,” the JCCF noted.
On March 6, 2025, Ontario Court of Appeals Justices David Brown, Peter Lauwers, and Steve Coroza ruled that a $290 million class-action lawsuit against some of those who organized and participated in the Freedom Convoy for creating a “public nuisance causing pain” will be allowed to proceed.
In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government enacted the Emergencies Act (EA) on February 14, 2022.
During the clear-out of protesters after the EA was put in place, one protester, an elderly lady, was trampled by a police horse and one conservative female reporter was beaten by police and shot with a tear gas canister.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal affirmed several weeks ago a ruling that Trudeau’s use of the EA in 2022 to clear the Freedom Convoy protesters against COVID mandates was illegal.
Police in York Region have not officially said whether the Thornhill shooting is connected to international developments.
An Iranian-owned boxing gym north of Toronto was struck by gunfire early Sunday morning, a day after US President Donald Trump confirmed reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader had been killed.
York Regional Police said officers responded to reports of shots fired around 3 am near Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue West in Thornhill. When they arrived, they found evidence that multiple rounds had been fired at a commercial building. The property was unoccupied at the time. No injuries were reported.
The left promised that Canada’s Eunathasia program was not a slippery slope. It turns out, however, that it is the slipperiest of slopes in the history of slopes.
First, they said MAiD would be reserved for the terminally ill. Then, they expanded it for mental illness. Now, they are mulling whether or not children should be included in this evil state-sanctioned suicide. Worse of all, this may or may not be done with parental consent.
A report by the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) was tabled in the House of Commons on February 15 calling for a drastic expansion of euthanasia (MAiD) in Canada. Among other recommendations, the report recommends that euthanasia be expanded to include children “mature minors.”
The tech firm’s safety team has been called to Ottawa to explain why it failed to alert police about an account linked to a mass shooter
Canadian officials have summoned senior OpenAI representatives to Ottawa to answer questions about the tech company’s safety protocols after it confirmed it did not alert police about an account linked to mass shooter Jesse Van Rutselaar.
Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon said on Monday that OpenAI’s senior safety officials will come to Ottawa on Tuesday to outline how the company decides when to notify law enforcement.
(LifeSiteNews) – Regular readers of LifeSiteNews, and in fact those who read most independent media, most likely are already aware that the People’s Republic of China, through its Communist Chinese Party’s (CCP) many arms, has been meddling in Canada’s elections, as well as democracy in general, for years.
What may not be as well known is that in Canada’s smallest province, the picturesque Prince Edward Island (PEI), the CCP has been accused of using Buddhist monasteries as money laundering fronts to the tune of half a billion dollars.
Indeed, a reportfrom late last year noted how Buddhist monks and nuns from a group called Bliss and Wisdom showed recent tax filings with about $500 million in assets.
TORONTO: Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney heads to Asia this week seeking to broaden international trade, part of his plan to reduce Canadian reliance on the United States, which he says has left the country vulnerable.
Carney leaves Thursday (Feb 26) for India, the first stop on a three-country tour that includes Australia and Japan.
“In a more uncertain world, Canada is focused on what we can control,” Carney said in a statement announcing the trip.
“We are forging new partnerships abroad to create greater certainty, security and prosperity at home.”

There are currently more than 26,000 Canadians registered in Mexico as cartel violence hits the popular tourist area of Puerto Vallarta — and no plans for military or consular flights to assist Canadians getting out, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said.
Anand said the federal government is working on plans to “assist,” but did not share further details and said Mexican authorities have told her that they expect the situation to “normalize.”
