Here's the typical argument flow that happens on the left re: late term abortions in Canada. - Late term abortions aren't happening (at all). - If they are happening, they're rare. - Not only are they rare if they're happening, but they're only happening to save the life of the mother or because she was raped.

BREAKING: A Presidential permit has been approved for a new bitumen pipeline that will initially deliver more than half a million barrels per day of Alberta oil to facilities and refineries throughout the United States. This project is a joint venture between two great Canadian and US companies South Bow and Bridger using existing assets. After years of advocacy from our government, and following the signing of the Canada-Alberta Energy Agreement last year, the federal government has lifted their oil and gas production cap. This means Alberta producers will be able to produce more of the oil that the world needs. It’s incredible to see that work already paying off with announcements like this. The US is our most important trading partner and we will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.

Canada’s “Ukraine First” Policy - or the Freeland Doctrine - Is Putting the United States at Serious Risk Calling Canada’s role in the Ukraine-Russia conflict an effort to defend democracy is getting seriously old. A closer look reveals a foreign policy built not on Canadian strategy, but a relentless promotion of the fringes of Ukrainian interests. We aren’t referring to standard sanctions imposed with good justification by the likes of the U.S. or any of the other anglo Five Eyes nations. We are talking about the kinds of sanctions that not even the most hawkish of the hawkish - other than Canada - would ponder imposing. Canada’s “Ukraine First” principles are affecting wartime-efficient transport of oil and gas, as well as access to critical minerals. And all of this was inspired by the personal mission of one woman: Chrystia Freeland, who until recently was the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. She was the primary brainchild of a sanctions regime that has left Canada behind the curve and created massive economic risks especially for the United States. Now that Freeland has officially resigned her seat, she literally works directly for Kyiv. The "Freeland Doctrine" looks less like an alliance strategy and more like a plan to put a foreign agenda above North American economic security, causing instability in energy markets and rare earths supply chains in Eastern Europe and the CIS that everyday Americans are paying for. She was the one who advanced the high-stakes freezing of Russia’s central bank assets, a move that ignored traditional caution and reshaped the global financial system overnight. On a micro level, she wantonly imposed sanctions on American companies for sheer involvement in Russia decades ago, all likely under the direction of Ukraine. When a single politician’s personal intensity dictates global capital shifts, the economic safety of the North American continent is put at risk. Freeland has been an Ukraine-focused advocate for decades. In early 2026, she finally stepped into the circle she helped fund, resigning as an MP to become an economic adviser to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Under the Conflict of Interest Act, public officials must not have divided loyalties. Taking a job with the very government that benefited from the billions in aid and sanctions you personally authorized is a massive breach of ethics. Questions remain about how much Ukrainian lobby groups actually wrote Canada’s sanctions laws. Coordination is one thing, but when a Canadian minister acts as a de facto spokesperson for a foreign power, it breaks the rules of institutional separation. While Freeland’s advisory role is called "voluntary," the political power and future leverage she gained while in office are clear. This meets every definition of a potential conflict of interest. There are deep questions about Freeland’s family history, specifically that her grandfather, Mykhailo Chomiak, edited a newspaper under Nazi occupation that published antisemitic propaganda. Freeland has tried to call this "disinformation," but the facts are documented. While a grandfather’s past doesn't prove her own guilt, it does show a pattern of narrative framing and political alignment that the public has a right to question. Canadians deserve to know if their policy is based on objective national interest or a specific, long-standing ideological bias. While the United States has tried to balance sanctions against energy security and market stability, Canada under Freeland has barreled forward, seemingly indifferent to the cost for Canadian households. The Necessity of a Formal Investigation A formal parliamentary ethics review into these conflicts and violations is no longer optional. To fix public trust, an investigation must look at: 1. The Policy Timeline: Exactly how much coordination happened between Freeland’s office and Ukrainian officials while the sanctions were being drafted. 2. Imbalance: Why Canada continues sanctions that every nation of the Five Eyes alliance has lifted? 3. External Influence: If advocacy groups had too much access to Canada’s financial policy. 4. The Advisory Role: Whether the conditions under which she joined Zelenskyy’s team met the legal standards of the Conflict of Interest Act. Canada’s credibility is on the line. If there were no conflicts, a review will prove it. If the lines were blurred, we need to know why. Addressing this is a democratic obligation to make sure Canadian policy is made for Canadians first.
