Mark Carney Canadian Liberals leader has won the election.
Could anyone have ever imagined a Canadian Leader having to make this statement about their long time friend and next door neighbour .
Carney promises to work with all Canadians to advance the country and protect Canada.
He says: “America wants our land, our resources, our water. These are not idle threats. Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never happen.”

Amazing. They must have felt the other guy might roll over and let Trump have his way.

Just goes to show that The Trumpet is not the world's Messiah that he claims to be.
Looks as if he has given the Canadians something to stand and fight for, their country, against one what was once a friend and ally and now it would appear to be an enemy and foe.
I still have nightmares about a former Prime Minister here once being dubbed Deputy Sherrif, and how he glowed in the darkened room with that bestowed title.
Thankfully it never came to be.

Seriously?Canada tuns to Australia for critical defence infrastructure.

Some writers and the ABC needs a reality check.
Did Canada requested lanolin to grease their troop boots too?
Writing this is actually quite dangerous for a country whose whole defence forces are less numerous than the NYC police force.
Then citizens and politicians expect far too much from the single operating submarine , and the few jets we have.
And that is not a good situation to be in...

PS: i know the contract is about the Jindalee over the horizon radar, and yes, Australia has one but when the title hints to Canada switching military provider from US to Australia, this is master brain washing.

We never see the details or the justification for our immigration program.
What and where are the job shortages, how much of the immigration intake is skilled as opposed to family reunions or other
"social" type intakes, what is the overall population policy in terms of the land carrying capacity, are the skills of the migrants appropriate for the job shortages, etc, etc.
All we get is the overall numbers, feed us manure as usual.

What 'skills shortage' roles are being handed out as of 2025. Data is here: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/research-and-stats/files/temp-res-skilled-report-30-jun-2025.PDF
Feels like construction & healthcare are still way too low compared to the existing lack of labour on those sectors? And Food/Accommodation (hospitality) is way too over-represented in my opinion.

They are probably the jobs Aussies don't want to do. Same in Agriculture, fruit pickers maybe.
Construction, could be anything from builder's labourers to architects or engineers. The classification is pretty wide and doesn't really give a good idea of specificity.
We seem to be wanting a lot of chefs/cooks. Not good enough occupations for our university educated high flyers apparently.

Canada CB dropped its funds rate overnight, but despite this the CAD appreciated against the AUD.
It continues a fall that started a week ago after a gradual improvement in the AUD.
