St. Francis Xavier University receives the largest single private philanthropic gift in its 173-year history from The Honourable Frank McKenna and his family
This year’s spring convocation weekend at StFX is sure to go down in history—and not just for the graduates and their families. On Saturday afternoon, a large crowd of excited Xaverians and distinguished guests filled the Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership for the announcement of the largest single private philanthropic gift the University has ever received.
“The legendary Xaverian spirit is fueled by a community that never stops giving back,” said David Graham, Vice-President of Advancement, in his opening remarks. “Today we are here to witness an unprecedented milestone that sets a new gold standard for our future.”
President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Andy Hakin then delivered the historic announcement: a $20 million dollar commitment to StFX from the Honorable Frank McKenna ('70), Julie McKenna ('72), and their family.
“This transformative gift will change the lives of hundreds of students and fortify our university for generations to come,” said Dr. Hakin. “It will also ensure that StFX remains a true national destination.”
He described Frank and Julie McKenna as “one of Canada’s most influential couples, recognized for their commitment to public service, to community, and to family.” Chair of the StFX Board of Governors, the Honorable Lisa Raitt ('89) added that the McKenna’s commitment to their alma mater is “nothing short of extraordinary.”
Introducing Canada’s most prestigious and lucrative undergraduate scholarships
The extraordinary investment in StFX will establish The McKenna Scholars Program, a groundbreaking new undergraduate scholarship initiative designed to attract the very best and brightest young people to StFX. These bold, new awards will not be tied to a specific field of study and will recognize academic excellence and community-based leadership in Arts, Science, and Business.
At the highest level, the McKenna National Scholars—valued at $125,000 over four years—will be the most prestigious and lucrative undergraduate scholarships in Canada. Supporting these top awards are the McKenna Order of Merit scholarships, valued at $40,000, and the McKenna Scholars of Distinction, valued at $20,000.
A crucial part of the program will be a term dedicated to working and studying abroad to allow students to gain a global perspective.
Watch the full announcement:
“One of the proudest days of our lives”
Taking the stage, Frank McKenna reflected on his first memories of arriving at StFX. He had never been to Antigonish—or Nova Scotia—but fell in love with the campus immediately. “I was smitten with StFX,” Mr. McKenna said. “And I’ve been smitten ever since.”
He also shared with the crowd that for him and his wife, Julie, the day was “one of the proudest days of our lives.” Not only were they announcing the gift but, more importantly, they had not one but two members of the McKenna family—their granddaughter, Ella, and their grandson, Noah—graduating at StFX’s spring convocation.
Frank spoke about what he feels is so uniquely powerful about a StFX education and the sense of community that is formed during one’s time on campus.
“At StFX, you not only get a globally recognized ring and a degree, but you get a master’s degree in civility and a PhD in character,” Mr. McKenna said. “And in a world of chaos, we could use more of both.”
Watch Frank McKenna's address:
Investing in tomorrow’s leaders during a time of uncertainty.
Immediately
following the announcement, the campus community was joined by Canadian
journalist, author, and documentary producer, Steve Paikin, for a
live
taping of The Paikin Podcast. Steve Paikin invited Chancellor Mila
Mulroney, Dr. Andy Hakin, and Frank McKenna to the stage for a
wide-ranging discussion about both the role of universities in today’s
rapidly changing world, and Mr. McKenna’s illustrious political career.
The conversation began with Chancellor Mila Mulroney’s reflections on her late husband, the Right Honorable Brian Mulroney’s love of StFX and the inclusive, generous community he found on campus as an undergraduate student. It was at StFX that his intellectual curiosity and love of politics first developed, which helped propel him forward in his career.
Steve Paikin interviews the Honorable Frank McKenna during a live taping of The Paikin Podcast
This topic of broadening one’s thinking returned throughout the discussion. “We need broad minded citizens.” Mr. McKenna explained. “People who aren’t only capable of linear thinking, but who are capable of bringing all of the pieces together.”
It's for this reason that the new McKenna Scholars program is “agnostic” when it comes to a particular field of study.
“We have to be a haven for the brightest minds on the planet,” Mr. McKenna said.
The inaugural cohort of McKenna Scholars will arrive on campus for the 2027-2028 academic year.
About the Honorable Frank McKenna
Frank McKenna is one of Canada’s most respected political and business leaders. He has been an executive with TD Bank Group since 2006 and joined TD Securities in January 2020. As Deputy Chair, he is focused on supporting the continued expansion of TD Securities’ global footprint.
He is a graduate of St. Francis Xavier University, Queen’s University and the University of New Brunswick Law School. He was awarded a prestigious Lord Beaverbrook Scholarship in Law and has practiced in courtrooms all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada.

He was elected Premier of New Brunswick in 1987 in a historic victory that left him with all 58 seats in the legislative assembly.
His time as a Premier was marked with widespread acclaim for balanced budgets and unprecedented job creation. He was the only politician in Canadian history to ever be named as Economic Developer of the Year and was inducted into the Canadian Technology Hall of Fame.
He retired ten years ago to the day of his original election, keeping his promise to the people of New Brunswick that he would only serve ten years.

Upon completing his time as Ambassador, he resumed his corporate career with TD Bank Group, one of North America’s largest banks.

B.C. Conservative caucus shows united front with new leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay
The former Conservative MP held her first caucus meeting in Vancouver less than 24 hours after her victory
The B.C. Conservative caucus put up a largely united front Sunday, less than 24 hours after Kerry-Lynne Findlay was elected their new leader.
It comes amid concerns from other politicians and political analysts that Findlay’s populist brand of right-leaning politics might alienate the centrist wing of the party.
After a meeting in downtown Vancouver, Findlay was asked about unifying the caucus, in the wake of a bruising three-month leadership campaign filled with personal attacks and splits along ideological lines. Some of the MLAs behind her supported other candidates, including Peter Milobar.
“Well, are you staying?” she asked.
The MLAs behind her shouted “Yeah!” and clapped.
Findlay, a lawyer and former Conservative MP, was criticized — including by some Conservative MPs, some of whom served alongside Findlay in Stephen Harper's cabinet — for questioning whether Milobar was in a conflict of interest on reconciliation issues because his wife is Indigenous.
Findlay says she and Milobar have been talking.
Initially thought to be a front runner, Milobar was the first candidate to drop off on the first ballot Saturday evening.
Milobar, though, insists he’s “not going anywhere” and that the caucus can coalesce around Findlay.
Kerry-Lynne Findlay wins B.C. Conservative leadership race in fourth-ballot victory A major decision facing Findlay will be whether to invite back any of the six MLAs who were kicked out or left caucus.
Findlay says she won’t make any unilateral decisions and will consult with caucus. She took a subtle jab at another candidate, Yuri Fulmer, for making a non-compete deal with OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie to avoid splitting the right in a general election.
Sitting Independents Jordan Kealy, the MLA for Peace River North, and Tara Armstrong, who represents Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, endorsed Findlay as leader.
Armstrong and Kealy left the B.C. Conservative caucus in March 2025, in solidarity with Dallas Brodie. Rustad removed Brodie from the ranks after he says she mocked residential school survivors during a podcast interview.
Armstrong has pushed for the abolishment of the human rights code and put forward a private members bill that would have given parents the right to sue doctors up to 25 years after they provided care for transgender children.
Elected
leader of the B.C. Conservative Party Kerry-Lynne Findlay speaks during
leadership election night in Vancouver, on Saturday, May 30, 2026. (Ethan Cairns/The Canadian Press)She was slammed by the NDP for using “Nazi rhetoric” when she used the the term "blood and soil" in her attack on a First Nations treaty. It’s a phrase frequently used by German fascists before and during the Second World War.
Neither Kealy or Armstrong could be reached for comment Sunday. Both congratulated Findlay on social media.
Armstrong wrote that Findlay “took a firm, unashamed stand against childhood medical transition and gender ideology in schools.”
Leadership hopefuls clash at B.C. Conservative Party debateFindlay promised during the campaign that she would end sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) programs in B.C. schools. The program was established in schools in 2016 by the then-ruling B.C. Liberals, as part of anti-bullying policies, but has become a flashpoint for Conservative politicians who have slammed the teaching of “gender ideology” in schools.
Asked if her policy position should worry trans people, Findlay said: “No one should be afraid. I want to protect children. I want to help children.”
During her victory speech Saturday night, Findlay promised she will stand up for "free people making free choices and free speech in a free enterprise market economy. Where hard work is rewarded, and we are not crushed by socialist overreach that wants to dictate literally what we think, what we believe, what we can say and who we associate with."
Elenore Sturko, who was kicked out of caucus in September after Rustad accused her of undermining his leadership, says Findlay ran a campaign that essentially asked for a "purity test" of true conservatives, excluding former B.C. Liberals.
“I don't think I see this as a big tent party any longer,” said the Independent MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale.
MLA Elenore Sturko kicked out of B.C. Conservative caucus
Sturko says British Columbians now have a choice between two extremes.
“You couldn’t get too further polar opposites in terms of a left-wing radical in David Eby and I’m going to say someone who is a little bit radical on the right wing. Not a little bit, actually, quite a bit radical,” Sturko said.
Sturko says she’s been copied on several emails from B.C. Conservatives cancelling their membership. CBC News could not reach anyone from the B.C. Conservative party to ask if anyone has cancelled their party membership.
The party membership swelled to 40,000 during the leadership campaign, up from about 7,000 under Rustad. However, only 26,000 of those new members had their identities verified through an online mechanism to prevent fraud.
Former MLA Karin Kirkpatrick started a party called Centre B.C. following the collapse of her former party, the B.C. Liberals, renamed B.C. United under Kevin Falcon.
Kirkpatrick says “electing Kerry-Lynne Findlay is very, very bad for the Conservative party and very good for a party like Centre B.C.”
She predicts many British Columbians will be looking for a middle-of-the-road party come the next general election.
Findlay was asked if she can win the broad support of British Columbians.
She quoted former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher: “First you win the argument, then you win the vote.”
“We’re talking about prosperity, we’re talking about hope, bringing affordability back to British Columbia. That is a message that will resonate with all British Columbians.”

B.C. MLA Jordan Kealy charged with sexual assault in Fort St. John
Kealy says in a statement that he is innocent and won't be resigning
The B.C. Prosecution Service says Independent MLA Jordan Kealy, who represents Peace River North, has been charged with one count of sexual assault.
The service says the alleged offences occurred between Jan. 1 and Sept. 20, 2024. Court documents indicate the alleged offences took place in Cecil Lake, a rural area where Kealy farms north of Fort St. John.
The prosecution service says a Vancouver-based special prosecutor was assigned to the case on Feb. 9, 2026 to "avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the administration of justice considering the nature of the allegations and the identity of the accused as an elected public official."
In a statement emailed to CBC News, Kealy said he will not be stepping down.
"I am innocent of the accusation against me and will prove that in court. In the meantime, it will be business as usual, advocating for my constituents and region," he wrote.
Kealy's first court appearance is scheduled for July 6 in Fort St. John.

hours. (Matt Preprost/CBC)Conservatives say Kealy won't be allowed in party
A first-time MLA elected under John Rustad, he left the B.C. Conservatives on March 7, 2025, alongside Tara Armstrong, after Dallas Brodie was removed from caucus. He said the party had become "toxic."
Unlike Armstrong and Brodie, he did not join any other parties and instead continued and continues to sit as an Independent, though he has suggested that could soon change under its new leader, Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

30, as Findlay was elected leader of the party from which Kealy had
defected. (Facebook/Jordan Kealy)He hosted a townhall for her in his constituency during the Conservative leadership campaign and posted a photo of himself with her when she was elected on May 30, saying he had attended the party convention after his flight home to Fort St. John was cancelled due to weather delays.
He also appeared on stage with her at the convention, telling reporters he was confident he would be invited back into the party.
“What a day,” he wrote in the post. “This might just be the end of me being an independent and coming back to the party! More to come.”
In a video posted from Findlay's victory party to social media, the party gives a shoutout to "our independent Conservative," gesturing toward Kealy.
"How long am I going to be independent, I'm kind of curious about that?" Kealy can be heard asking from off-camera with Findlay responding she will "work on that."
But in a statement issued Thursday, the B.C. Conservative Party said Kealy would not be rejoining their party.
"These charges are incredibly serious. Jordan Kealy [is] an independent MLA and is not joining our caucus or party," executive director Angelo Isidorou said in a statement.
NDP calls for resignation, Rustad disagrees
In a statement, B.C. NDP MLA Jennifer Whiteside called for Kealy to step down, and for Findlay to encourage him to do so.
"It is inappropriate for someone facing serious criminal charges to continue serving as an MLA. His constituents deserve an MLA that they can have confidence in and who is focused solely on the job of representing them," she wrote.
MLAs

Conservative Party. (CBC News)"British Columbians would expect Kerry-Lynne Findlay to tell Jordan Kealy to step down immediately. She enthusiastically accepted his support throughout the leadership race, including standing on stage with him just days ago. She has been clear about her plans to bring him back into the caucus."
"She should use that relationship and advise him to resign."
Anti-violence advocate Angela Marie MacDougall says MLAs facing violent charges cannot properly represent their constituents.
"Anybody in public office who has this kind of criminal charges, they should take a leave of absence if not resign," she said.
"It's a low bar."
Former B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad, who campaigned alongside Kealy, disagreed.
"Everyone is innocent until proven guilty," he said. "It's important that our legal system is able to carry out its process."
He said he didn't think politicians should resign over charges that may not be founded.
"Ultimately, I guess, it will be up to the people in the riding."
Rustad said he had no indication that Kealy could be facing criminal charges when he brought him into the Conservative fold.
"Nothing came up during the vetting process," he said.
2nd MLA elected under Conservative banner to be charged
Kealy is the second MLA elected under the B.C. Conservative banner in 2024 who has since been charged with assault. In March of this year, Richmond Centre MLA Hon Chan was kicked out of caucus after being charged with assault and choking.
He is also the second MLA for Peace River North to be charged with assault in the past decade. Pat Pimm, who represented the region for the B.C. Liberals from 2009 until 2016 was charged in 2016, and the charges were stayed in 2017.
The terms of the stay included having "no direct or indirect contact" with the complainant.
Pimm stepped down from the party caucus ahead of the allegations being made public, and did not run for re-election.

Jordan Kealy was elected as the MLA for Peace River North in 2024.
Jordan previously served as a Peace River Regional District Director, focusing on areas such as infrastructure planning, rural service delivery, and resource management. His experience in local government provided him with a strong understanding of community priorities and regional development.
Before entering public office, Jordan was a well-known farmer in the Peace River region, where he and his wife have lived since 2008. Their family-run operation focuses on raising grass-fed beef, rooted in sustainable and ethical farming practices that reflect the values of their community.Office:

RFK Jr. grilled by both Republicans and Democrats during raucous hearing
The U.S. health secretary was called a charlatan and ignorant as he was questioned on COVID, vaccines and more

Democrats and Republicans pushed U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's Jr. on his recent vaccine policies and their stark contrast to President Donald Trump's successful first-term pandemic initiative to speed vaccine development during a combative three-hour Senate hearing on Thursday.
Half a dozen heated exchanges focused on the details of his decision to fire Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez, who had started the job with Kennedy's support only a month earlier. Kennedy said she lied about the reason she was dismissed.
Republican U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy praised Trump for having accelerated the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in 2020.
His line of questioning — mirrored by two other members of his and Trump's party — underscored the tightrope Republicans critical of Kennedy needed to walk in order to push back against his vaccine policies without criticizing the president.
Cassidy, a former physician, asked Kennedy during the Senate Finance Committee hearing if he agreed with him that Trump deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for the COVID vaccine initiative. Kennedy said he did.
That led Cassidy to ask why, then, has Kennedy said the vaccines had killed more people than COVID?
Kennedy denied making the statement and initially would not agree that the vaccines saved lives, but in a later exchange acknowledged the shots prevented deaths but that he could not quantify that.
'Deeply concerned'

In the first year of their use, COVID vaccines saved some 14.4 million lives globally, according to a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal.
Republican John Barrasso, who like Cassidy is a physician, adopted the same tactic of questioning Kennedy without criticizing Trump.
"Secretary Kennedy, in your confirmation hearings you promised to uphold the highest standards for vaccines. Since then, I've grown deeply concerned," said Barrasso.
"The public has seen measles outbreaks, leadership in the National Institutes of Health questioning the use of mRNA vaccines, the recently confirmed Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fired," the senator added.
Senator Maria Cantwell brought out a chart to demonstrate to Kennedy how effective vaccines have been. "The history on vaccines is very clear," the Democrat said, referring to drops in some diseases of 99 or 100 per cent, due to vaccines.
"This is what was delivered with vaccines, and you don't want to support that."
WATCH | The exchange between Cantwell and Kennedy:
'You're a charlatan!' Democrat slams RFK Jr. in Senate hearing
During an often heated hearing in Washington Wednesday, a Democratic U.S. Senator called Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a charlatan, as she criticized his position on vaccines.
CDC firings criticized
Kennedy, under fiery questioning from Democratic Senator Ron Wyden and others, also defended his ousting of CDC Director Susan Monarez, adding that he might need to fire even more people at the agency.
Trump fired Monarez after she resisted changes to vaccine policy advanced by Kennedy that she believed contradicted scientific evidence, further destabilizing the already embattled agency.
In an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Monarez said she had been directed to pre-approve vaccine recommendations, and that her ouster was part of a broader push to weaken U.S. vaccine standards.
Kennedy said that he had never told Monarez she needed to pre-approve decisions.

Kennedy said the CDC during the COVID pandemic had lied to Americans, pointing to recommendations on mask wearing, vaccine boosters and social distancing and statements that the vaccine would prevent transmission.
"I need to fire some of those people and make sure this doesn't happen again," Kennedy said.
At one point, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner asked Kennedy if he accepted the fact that one million Americans died from COVID. Kennedy declined, saying, "I don't think anybody knows," prompting Warner to ask how someone who's been health secretary for eight months could be that ignorant.
WATCH | 'How can you be that ignorant?'
RFK Jr. can't say how many Americans died of COVID
In a heated Senate hearing Wednesday, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said he did not know how many Americans died of COVID-19, prompting an exasperated Democratic senator to ask how he could be so ignorant.
During the COVID pandemic, the CDC came under fire as Americans became frustrated, particularly with school closures, although its changing recommendations were based on past experience with virus transmission and what was known about the novel coronavirus at the time.
By late 2021, as the Omicron variant spread quickly and more real-world data on the vaccines accumulated, the CDC acknowledged the shots could not stop COVID infection and transmission, but were highly effective in preventing severe cases, hospitalizations and death.
Calls for Kennedy to resign
Since taking the job, Kennedy has made a series of controversial changes to U.S. vaccine policy, including narrowing who is eligible for COVID shots and firing all 17 expert members of a CDC vaccine advisory panel, choosing some anti-vaccine activists to replace them.
Kennedy has faced criticism from some Republicans and calls to resign by some Democrats since Monarez's firing, which triggered the resignations of four senior agency officials who cited anti-vaccine policies and misinformation pushed by Kennedy and his team.
Wyden called for Kenndy's resignation on Thursday at the beginning of the hearing, as have other senators and over 1,000 current and former health employees.
Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labour, and Pensions Committee, has said the CDC upheaval warrants oversight. He was the deciding vote during Kennedy's confirmation process after receiving assurances the long-time anti-vaccine crusader would not interfere with vaccine policy.
On Thursday he pressed Kennedy on his decision to cancel $500 million US in funding for research on the mRNA technology used in making the most widely used COVID vaccines.

Make America Healthy Again
MY LIFELONG COMMITMENT
I Need Your Help to Get Over the Finish Line
Dear David,
Environmental health and human health are inseparable. The toxic chemicals polluting our air, soil, and water also seep into our bodies and our children’s bodies. They damage our health the same way they destroy nature.
That’s why good environmental policy is also good health policy.
Just a few days ago, I stood in front of the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC, reflecting on how the environment used to unite us. After all, every American loves nature and wants clean air, clean water, and a healthy future for our children.
I’ve spent my career as an attorney advocating for children’s health and the environment. When I’m in Washington in the Trump administration, I will continue both.
We are going to Make America Healthy Again – and that includes our soil, our water, and our bodies.
And let me tell you one other kind of pollution I’m going to help get rid of. It is the pollution of our government agencies by corporate money. It’s called, corruption.
When Big Pharma money, Big Ag money, and Big Tech money pollutes Washington DC, it’s not long before their chemicals pollute the entire country.
That’s going to end when I’m in Washington.
President Trump has given me his solid backing to help him clean the poisons out of our soil, our water, our bodies, and our political system.
MAHA
Please help me get over the finish line by donating to MAHAnow.org, so I can keep up the pressure and bring my lifelong commitment to health and the environment to Washington.

B.C. Conservative MP Scott Anderson says he rejected Liberal approach to cross floor
VERNON -- A British Columbia member of Parliament says he's been approached to cross the floor to give Mark Carney's Liberal government a majority, but he's not interested in "betraying" his constituents.
Scott Anderson, MP for Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee, says in a post on social media that the Liberals are "pulling out all the stops" to lure Conservatives.
Anderson's comments come after two Conservative MPs left caucus for the government benches — Chris d'Entremont in November and Michael Ma last month — with both suggesting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's leadership style was at least part of the reason.
But Anderson says it's a myth being promoted by the Liberals and the media that there's a movement to "turf" Poilievre in preference for a "milquetoast Conservative leader."
Anderson says the governing Liberals have made empty promises about nation-building projects while raising taxes and spending billions to entrench their power, while trying to "bribe" Conservatives to cross the floor.
Anderson says he won't cross the floor regardless of what he's offered for the "betrayal" of his voters and his core beliefs.
"It'll be a cold day in Hell before I even consider betraying my constituents, and you should probably stop asking because I will certainly advertise it every time you try," Anderson's post on Monday said.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 5, 2025.

Werner discussed this nonsense in the pdf hereto attached (me with the
CFIA) and Werner the RCMP before you and I crossed paths Now that you
and I talked in the media the bastards are playing dumb bigtime this
week like it never happend..
This avian influenza issue is up your alley and was published by them
just before you and I first crossed paths (interesting coincidence
eh?) Now these bastards are trying to have us locked up in a very
covert fashion. (Remember i told you on air that people were acting
rather porrly? well it wasn't just Dean Buzza who is buzzing there are
many nasty little Bees who hate us for many reasons.

OTTAWA, April 3, 2009 — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has
lifted all remaining movement restrictions on birds and bird products
in southern British Columbia. No additional cases of avian influenza
were found during extensive testing of commercial poultry in the area.
The latest boss of the CFIA is Carole Swan
http://www.inspection.gc.ca/
"During her career in the federal public service, Ms. Swan held other
senior positions within Industry Canada and the Treasury Board, and
has worked in a number of departments and agencies including the Privy
Council Office, the Office of Privatization and Regulatory Affairs,
the Department of Regional and Industrial Expansion, the Ministry of
State for Economic Development, Status of Women Canada and the
Department of Communications."
by virtue of he last position in the Canadain govrnment she certainly
knows who I am I truly believe that they overlooked the fact that i
was on Werners farm when they decided to try to shut him up. To say
that i am pissed off afer my converstion withthe CFIA today would be
an understatement after the RCMP in Moncton denied to werner about
knowing anything about the false allegations.

What kind of nonsense is? Did you people forget that I am on Werner
Bock's farm too. How about my three dead calves? Furthermore are you
going to try to deny that I have witnessed alot of malice practiced
against him that you and you associates working for the CROWN have
ignored for many years?
Rest assured I look forward to arguing Wayne Easter's old underlings
in the RCMP about many things other than dead farm animals. Quite
frankly I think the CROWN is crazy to attack a decent German Immigrant
again at this point in time. Has any of you even considered working
within the scope of your employment just once or is everything a
matter of politics? The rest of us have to eat too. Won't it be nice
if you protected our farmers and their animals and crops for a change
instead of just allowing questionable corporations closing processing
plants down here and sending all the work to upper Canada then sending
the tainted meat back down here. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world in
the Maritimes if all of Werner's cattle would be allowed to live on
the farm long enough to be sold at a reasonable price to a local
outfit on PEI so that Maritimers could enjoy a decent homegrown steak
at a fair price EH Wayne Easter?

A woman in a blue blazer poses for a photo. Nathalie Drouin has been deputy clerk of the Privy Council since August 2021 and will retain that title as she becomes the prime minister's new national security adviser. (facebook.com/JusticeCanada)
Veteran public servant Nathalie Drouin has been named national security and intelligence adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Drouin, deputy clerk of the Privy Council since August 2021, will retain that title when she takes up her new role on Jan. 27.
She becomes adviser as the Liberal government ponders significant reform of the legislation governing Canada's spy service to better address security threats.
Drouin was deputy minister of justice from 2017 to 2021.
As deputy Privy Council clerk, Drouin testified in November 2022 at the inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to protests that paralyzed downtown Ottawa and choked key border points.
Drouin replaces the retiring Jody Thomas, who became security adviser two years ago after serving as deputy minister of national defence.

Jeremy MacKenzie - Government Surveillance & Public Accountability
The Lavigne Show Podcast
Oct 31, 2024
In this Halloween special, Jeremy MacKenzie @JeremyMacKenzi joins the conversation to discuss surveillance, government overreach, and the cost of speaking out in Canada. As a public figure often scrutinized by authorities, Jeremy shares his experiences dealing with intense government monitoring, media narratives, and the personal challenges faced by those who challenge the status quo. The discussion also explores the impact of censorship on public discourse and the challenges of maintaining transparency in the face of systemic resistance.
Legal and Social Consequences
Jeremy recounts his journey from being labelled in the media to dealing with intense government oversight, including intelligence agencies monitoring his actions. He speaks on the strain this has put on his personal life and those around him, illustrating individuals' challenges when they enter the public eye.
"Fed" Labels and the Dangers of Public Perception
Jeremy addresses the recurring "fed" label—being accused of acting as a government informant—and the dangers associated with this narrative. He explains how these accusations can isolate individuals within their communities, intensify risks, and create mistrust among peers, making it more challenging to advocate for change.
Nova Scotia Election & Premier Tim Houston’s Connection
The conversation turns to the recent Nova Scotia election announcement, where Premier Tim Houston’s actions may connect to Jeremy’s prior criminal trial. Jeremy discusses the implications of Houston’s possible influence, raising questions about fairness in the legal process when political figures are involved and how these ties illustrate broader issues of power and influence within Canadian politics.
Tour Across Canada:
Meeting Fans and Exploring Canadian Communities Jeremy recounts his journey across Canada, where he met supporters, shared insights, and explored the nation’s diverse landscapes. He encourages Canadians to travel within their own country, meet their fellow citizens, and experience firsthand the true spirit of Canada.
Canadian Election Cycle
Jason delves into upcoming election cycles and the potential for political change. They discuss how elections impact public accountability and the mechanisms through which citizens can push for transparency and reform.
Public Surveillance and the Role of Media
Jeremy and Jason discuss the media’s role in amplifying government narratives and stigmatizing dissenting voices. They explore how surveillance affects community members, including friends and supporters, and the broader implications for freedom of expression in Canada.

What’s Behind Findlay’s Photo with a White Nationalist Influencer
The new BC Conservative leader didn’t know who Max Genest was on election night, the party says.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s campaign for leadership of the Conservative Party of BC was already being denounced as racist when she posed for a photo with a young white nationalist commentator the night of the leadership vote.
The party says Findlay didn’t know who Max Genest was when the photo was taken Saturday evening, when he would have been among dozens of eager supporters clamouring for a selfie with the new leader.
But the photo was a trophy for Genest, a young social media commentator who is open about his white nationalist beliefs online. Genest repeatedly posts about the perils of white population decline, calls for South Asian Canadian politicians to be deported, supports mass deportations of immigrants and uses homophobic slurs.
In a May post on X, Genest told an Indigenous activist, “Without White Europeans, you’d still be living as a Stone Age savage.” On May 16 he responded to another X post asking if visitors from India would feel safe in Canada. “Our racistmaxxing is working,” he wrote. “Keep going loyalists.”
The day of the leadership vote, Genest posted photos from inside the leadership election venue in Vancouver, and then a photo of him sitting beside Findlay with the caption “We deported @KoryCPC back to Ontario tonight.” Kory Teneycke, a power in the Stephen Harper government and manager of two successful Doug Ford campaigns in Ontario, was the campaign manager for Caroline Elliott, who narrowly lost the leadership race in the fourth round of voting.
Genest did not respond to an interview request from The Tyee.“Ms. Findlay is not familiar with the individual in question,” a B.C. Conservative party spokesperson told The Tyee via email. “Like many leaders, she takes photos with hundreds of people, without knowing the background of each individual.”
When The Tyee pressed the Conservative party spokesperson on whether the party wanted to make a statement about Genest’s stated beliefs, he wrote, “We repudiate any racist or bigoted views.”
Jonathan Ross, a B.C. Conservative who said on X that Genest was “not welcome” at the party’s leadership event, told The Tyee, “I repudiate his vile views wholeheartedly, as does the Conservative Party of British Columbia and the new leader Kerry Lynne Findlay.”
Evan Balgord, the executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, said Genest’s behaviour is consistent with recent attempts by white nationalists to try to influence mainstream political parties. The Dominion Society, an organization that has been pushing a message of deporting 20 per cent of Canada’s population, recently protested at the federal Conservative convention with a banner that said “Conserve what?” and “Remigration now.”
“Remigration” is a term white nationalist organizations use for mass deportations, usually of non-white immigrants.
“Their strategy is to try to mainstream their politics and push the Overton window as much as humanly possible, and to have influence,” Balgord said. Balgord said that Genest has supported the Dominion Society by posting flyers around Winnipeg.
Both Findlay and Elliott presented a socially conservative vision during their leadership campaigns, focusing on opposing B.C.’s sexual orientation and gender identity policy for schools and pushing back on Indigenous rights in the wake of several court decisions that have raised fears about property rights.
Findlay is a lawyer and former Conservative MP for South Surrey-White Rock who served as a cabinet minister in Stephen Harper’s government. She was widely criticized during the leadership campaign when she questioned whether opponent Peter Milobar would be in a potential conflict of interest on future government decisions involving First Nations because he has family members who are Indigenous.
In reaction to Findlay’s win, the BC NDP immediately denounced her campaign as racist because of that comment.
Findlay fired back. “They’re going to say what they say. I believe the NDP are the ideologues — they’re the extremists.”
Genest had been supportive of Findlay throughout her campaign, including posting a video explaining why he was endorsing her. In the video, he says that the “establishment” federal Conservatives who supported Elliott — a former legislature staffer in Gordon Campbell’s government and longtime BC Liberal volunteer — were an indication that her campaign was not to be trusted.
He also complains about “co-ordinated attacks” from other Conservatives who criticized Findlay’s comments about Milobar’s Indigenous family members. Toward the end of the video, Genest points out approvingly that a “young white Zoomer” man sitting beside Findlay in a photo, who Genest assumes is associated with her campaign, is wearing a Red Ensign pin. The Red Ensign — Canada’s flag before the adoption of the Maple Leaf flag in 1967 — has been adopted as a symbol by Canadian white nationalists.
The Conservative Party of BC did not respond to a question from The Tyee asking if the man in the photo is a member of Findlay’s campaign team.
Balgord said that when people with extreme beliefs manage to associate themselves with mainstream political parties, those parties need to repudiate specific racist beliefs.
“They should explicitly denounce their agenda, which is as simple as making a statement that ‘I oppose and will never support racist mass deportations,’” Balgord said.

Mark Carney faced criticism over a speech that critics say exposed the ongoing failures of the Liberal government.

The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool Eby says Kerry-Lynne Findlay applying to be ‘MAGA regional manager,’ not premier

B.C. Premier David Eby spoke on Tuesday morning for the first time since the BC Conservatives elected a new party leader.
Eby was asked about the possibility of a provincial byelection to give the winner, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the chance to hold a seat in the legislature.
“I don’t know what Ms. Findlay’s plans are as the new leader of the Conservative Party or if any Conservative candidate is planning on stepping aside so that she can run,” Eby said.
“I’ll stay tuned to see what the plan is. I’ll say that from my perspective, the job that she’s applying for right now looks a lot more like MAGA regional manager than the premier of British Columbia. But I’ll stay tuned and hear what her plans are.”
Methinks Eby may rest assured that I’ll stay tuned as well

Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Elenore Sturko booted from B.C. Conservative caucus
Former B.C. Conservative public safety critic Elenore Sturko says she was 'absolutely blindsided'
B.C. Conservative MLA Elenore Sturko says she was "absolutely blindsided" by her removal from caucus Monday evening.
Sturko's removal was confirmed by caucus chair Jody Toor just hours after a B.C. Conservative leadership review of John Rustad, though no reason was provided for her removal.
Speaking to reporters outside the B.C. Legislature in Victoria, the Surrey-Cloverdale MLA said she is unsure of her next steps but promised to keep representing her constituents.
"My office will be open to handle their concerns in the constituency and I'll find a path forward, whatever that looks like. I'm not sure right now, but there'll be a path forward," she said.
Sturko, the outspoken former public safety critic for the party, said Rustad accused her of plotting against his leadership — a charge she denies. She acknowledged having conversations with other MLAs about the leadership review, but said she was not organizing against him.
She also suggested Rustad may have been worried she would raise questions about the review, but said, "If he was worried about that coming forward, there's other people in that room that will be asking those questions, I'm sure."
The former public safety critic says it's time for Rustad to resign as head of the party and Official Opposition leader, and her former caucus colleagues should have the courage to put pressure on him because he has failed to lead the party.
MLA Elenore Sturko kicked out of B.C. Conservative caucus"I think there are people from all parts of the right of centre who would like to see John Rustad resign today," she said.
Sturko, who plans to sit as an independent, says she feels a "deep sense of hurt" because she worked hard to bridge the gap between those who are socially liberal but fiscally conservative.
Earlier in the day, Rustad said his party members have given him a "mandate to lead" with 71 per cent of party members voting to support his leadership.
The party said in a statement Monday that 1,268 members voted in the review, where Rustad secured support in 78 out of the 93 ridings.

Sturko was first elected in a 2022 byelection in Surrey South as a
member of the B.C. Liberals, later renamed B.C. United. As B.C. United
support collapsed, she crossed the floor to join the Conservatives in
June 2024. (Ben Nelms/CBC)Rustad and the Conservative Party of B.C. came very close to winning the October provincial election, with 44 of 93 seats, but some controversies have dogged his leadership, starting in March when three of his caucus members left or were removed from the party.
Dallas Brodie was kicked out by Rustad for "mocking" testimony of survivors from residential schools, and Tara Armstrong and Jordan Kealy defected a short time later. Brodie and Armstrong have since formed a new party.

Posted June 2, 2026 4:44 pm Global BC Viewer Contact: ViewerContactBC@globalnews.ca News Tips: newstips@globalnews.ca News Tips Line: 604-422-6494 B.C. Premier David Eby spoke on Tuesday morning for the first time since the BC Conservatives elected a new party leader. 
Eby was asked about the possibility of a provincial byelection to give the winner, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the chance to hold a seat in the legislature. “I don’t know what Ms. Findlay’s plans are as the new leader of the Conservative Party or if any Conservative candidate is planning on stepping aside so that she can run,” Eby said. “I’ll stay tuned to see what the plan is. I’ll say that from my perspective, the job that she’s applying for right now looks a lot more like MAGA regional manager than the premier of British Columbia. But I’ll stay tuned and hear what her plans are.”
Methinks Eby may rest assured that I’ll stay tuned as well ---------- Original message --------- Date: Mon, Feb 9, 2026 at 3:48 PM Subject: Automatic reply: Anybody notice Mark Carney and David Eby at the top of this old email? To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.

"In a highly publicized trial in Delaware, Mr. Flumenbaum recently won a battle for corporate control involving Hollinger International, as well as a $30 million verdict against Conrad Black." Flumenbaum claimed he never heard of me but welcomed my emails all the same. Whem I asked Golub if he recalled how we had crossed paths before he did not deny it but just could not recall tis all. Golub told me he wanted to talk to his clients and get my emails from the local cops instead of me. I understood in a hearbest that he just wished to play dumb again. So I added a llittle more to this email and clearly did as I promised. Whereas you people won't speak honestly to me perhaps you should ask the RCMP and and the FBI and the SEC etc what they know about my affairs EH Yankees?

| Resigning leader | John Rustad |
| Won by | Kerry-Lynne Findlay |
| Candidates | 5 |
| Entrance fee | $115,000 |
| Spending limit | $2,000,000 |
In 2026, the Conservative Party of British Columbia held a leadership election to choose a permanent leader to replace Trevor Halford, who became leader on an interim basis following the resignation of John Rustad. Rustad announced his resignation after a caucus revolt and internal party disputes on December 4, 2025.[1][2] The election was won by former Conservative MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay by a narrow margin over Caroline Elliot, winning 51% of the vote.
Background
Rustad, who was acclaimed leader in 2023, led his party into the 2024 British Columbia general election as the principal opposition party following BC United's decision to suspend its campaign and endorse Rustad's party. Preceding this, several BC United MLAs had defected to the Conservatives as opinion polls showed the party, which had no representation in the Legislative Assembly in decades, gaining momentum. The Conservatives won 44 seats, the party's best showing in over 70 years; the party hadn't won more than two seats in an election since 1953. On November 20, Rustad established his Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet, in which every Conservative MLA received a portfolio.[3] Following the election, Rustad passed his leadership review with 70.66% support in 2025. His leadership in Opposition was marked by internal strife, with the departures and expulsions of many MLAs and the formation of a splinter party named OneBC.
On December 3, 2025, 20 caucus members signed a letter calling for Rustad to resign his position as leader. The party's board of directors passed a resolution ousting him as leader, and appointed Surrey-White Rock MLA Trevor Halford as interim leader. In a statement, the party said that Rustad was too "professionally incapacitated" to continue as leader.[4] However, in the immediate aftermath, five Conservative MLAs refused to acknowledge the board's decision and said that Rustad remained party leader,[5][better source needed] and Rustad himself rejected the board's decision and declared that he was still the leader of the party. The next day, the Western Standard reported that Rustad would step down as leader, and shortly after he announced his resignation.[6] During his resignation speech, he announced that he would also not stand for re-election at the next election.[7][8]
Rules
Candidates were required to pay a $5,000 application fee, a mandatory $20,000 refundable rules compliance deposit, and a total of $110,000 in non-refundable fees to remain in the race. The deadline to submit candidacy applications was February 15; they required 250 member signatures from at least five of the province's regions. Once approved, candidates were required to pay a second $10,000 fee, followed by $40,000 by April 1, and $60,000 by April 18. There was a $2,000,000 spending limit, with 20% of all monthly donations going to the party. The election itself was held using a weighted electoral district system, with each provincial riding allocated 100 points; ridings with fewer than 100 ballots were allocated points equal to the number of votes cast. The winner must receive more than 50% of the vote, as there will be candidate eliminations in every round of counting held. In order to be eligible to vote members must have been signed up by April 18. Members must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident normally residing in British Columbia and at least 14 years of age.[9][10]
Campaign
Rules and finances
The Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) established a strict financial framework for the race, setting a spending limit of $2,000,000 per candidate and requiring that 20 percent of all monthly campaign donations be directed back to the party coffers.[11] To maintain ballot eligibility, contestants faced a total entry cost of $135,000, which included a $5,000 initial application fee, a mandatory $20,000 refundable compliance deposit, and $110,000 in staggered non-refundable fees paid throughout the spring.[9]
Voting was conducted entirely online through the Simply Voting system from May 23 until May 29, 2026, using a preferential ranked ballot.[12] The election rules utilized a weighted point allocation system where each of British Columbia's provincial ridings carried 100 points, with the final scores adjusted for ridings capturing fewer than 100 cast ballots.[11] To secure the leadership, a candidate needed to cross a 50 percent threshold under consecutive rounds of ballot counting.[13] To qualify for a ballot, members were required to sign up by April 18, 2026, and clear a mandatory identity verification process via the online vendor Persona between April 27 and May 20, 2026.[14][15]
Candidate platforms and messaging
Policy debates during the campaign centered primarily on the balance between social conservatism and fiscal management. Caroline Elliott oriented her platform around cultural issues alongside traditional fiscal policy, advocating for the repeal of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) and criticizing the governing New Democratic Party (NDP) over public school curriculum standards.[16] Her campaign drew national attention for its organizational structure, securing an external advisory team led by veteran political consultants Kory Teneycke and Nick Kouvalis.[17]
Yuri Fulmer focused his campaign on public safety and economic growth through resource sector expansion. Addressing the province's projected $13.3 billion deficit, Fulmer rejected severe spending cuts in favor of corporate efficiencies and natural resource development in the energy and forestry sectors.[18] Fulmer also proposed local coordination with the minor party OneBC, suggesting that the Conservatives could selectively decline to run candidates in certain ridings to prevent right-of-centre vote splitting.[11][19]
Field consolidation
The candidate field consolidated heavily following the February 15 entry deadline. On February 27, Richmond-Queensborough MLA Steve Kooner withdrew from the race and endorsed candidate Kerry-Lynne Findlay.[20] In mid-March, MLAs Bruce Banman and Harman Bhangu simultaneously suspended their campaigns; Banman directed his supporters to vote for Fulmer, while Bhangu endorsed Elliott.[21]
On March 28, former grocery executive Darrell Jones also exited the race to back Elliott, endorsing her focus on small business relief and tax relief measures for younger workers.[22] Following these candidate withdrawals, five candidates remained on the final electronic ballot: Iain Black, Caroline Elliott, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Yuri Fulmer, and Peter Milobar, running to manage a total party membership that reached a record 42,000 by the close of the sign-up window.[23][19]

affiliationsBC Liberal Spouse Chris Torch(m. 1994) Children 3 Iain James Stewart Black (born 1967) is a Canadian politician and business executive who served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia (MLA) from 2005 to 2011, representing Port Moody-Westwood and later Port Moody-Coquitlam as part of the British Columbia Liberal Party caucus.[1] He served in cabinet under Premier Gordon Campbell as Minister of Labour and Citizens' Services from 2008 to 2009, as Minister of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development from 2009 to 2010, and as Minister of Labour from 2010 to 2011.
Black resigned from the legislature in 2011 to join the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade as president and CEO, serving until 2019.[2] He ran as the Conservative Party of Canada candidate for the riding of Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam in the 2025 federal election, and contested the 2026 Conservative Party of British Columbia leadership election,[3][4] but was unsuccessful in both attempts.[5][6]
Early life and family
Black was born in 1967 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He holds an honours degree in business from the University of Manitoba,[1] and the ICD.D designation from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management.[7] He moved to British Columbia in 1994 after marrying his partner Chris;[8] they raised their three children in the Westwood Plateau neighbourhood of Coquitlam.[1][9]
Business career (1995–2005)
Black spent most of his professional career in the technology sector, where he held senior management and executive roles prior to and following his time in public office. He began his career with IBM Canada Ltd., working in sales and marketing.[1] In 1995, he founded E-Z Net, a company that provided services to Internet service providers during the early growth of commercial internet access.[2] He then joined Axion Communications as vice-president of corporate sales, later becoming chief operating officer.[2] He became president and chief executive officer of The Electric Mail Company Inc. in 1999, later serving as a director, during a period in which the company expanded its business email services.[2]
He went on to serve as president of the Banking Solutions Group at Open Solutions Canada (formerly Datawest Solutions Inc.),[2] a provider of banking systems and outsourcing services for Canadian credit unions. Black was part of the senior management team involved in the merger between Open Solutions and Datawest Solutions, prior to his election to the Legislative Assembly in 2005.[10]
Political career (2005–2011)
Black was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2005 provincial election as a BC Liberal candidate, succeeding Christy Clark in the electoral district of Port Moody-Westwood.[1] During his time in the legislature, Black served in several parliamentary and cabinet-related roles, including as member of the British Columbia Treasury Board. He also chaired the Select Standing Committee to Appoint a Conflict of Interest Commissioner and, in December 2006, was appointed chair of the Government Caucus Committee on Natural Resources and the Economy, which reviews legislation and provides recommendations to cabinet.[1]
Prior to his appointment to cabinet, Black was the lead architect for the 2007 legislation that made booster seats mandatory for children between the ages of four and nine, or until reaching a height of 4 ft 9 in (140 cm).[11] He also led the International Business Hosting Program for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.[2]
He was named Minister of Labour and Citizens' Services in June 2008, replacing Olga Ilich.[12][13] After winning re-election in 2009 for the redistributed riding of Port Moody–Coquitlam,[14] Black was re-assigned as Minister of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development.[12] With the Liberals losing support following the introduction of the harmonized sales tax, Premier Gordon Campbell shuffled his cabinet in October 2010, with Black once again handling the labour portfolio.[12][15]
Campbell announced his resignation as premier and BC Liberal leader in November 2010; Black supported Kevin Falcon in the ensuing leadership election.[9] He was excluded from cabinet after Christy Clark was sworn in as premier in March 2011, and was instead named parliamentary secretary for public transportation.[9]
Return to business (2011–2025)
Black resigned as MLA in October 2011 to become president and chief executive officer of the Vancouver Board of Trade.[2][16] During his tenure, the organization eliminated its operating deficit and underwent internal restructuring,[17] and re-branded as the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade (GVBOT) in 2016.[18] It also expanded its programming and membership base, and by 2015 its board of directors included more women than men, a distinction among major Canadian business organizations at the time. The organization hosted more than 1,000 events during Black's leadership.[19]
Under Black's leadership, the GVBOT took public positions on a range of economic and policy issues. The organization supported increasing Canada's access to international oil markets, including through the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.[20] In 2018, the GVBOT organized a delegation of supporters to Alberta to demonstrate support for pipeline development.[21] The organization also publicly opposed proposed federal tax changes affecting small businesses in 2017, which were later modified by the federal government.[22]
After leaving GVBOT in April 2019,[23] Black returned to the technology sector. In 2019, he was appointed president and chief executive officer of Maximizer Software, a company within the Concord Group of Companies, and later served as vice chair and board advisor to the Concord Group.[8] In 2025, he founded Black Ink Advisory, an advisory firm providing guidance in executive leadership and governance, operational effectiveness and strategy development.[24]
Reentry into politics (2024–present)
2025 federal election
In 2024, Black announced his candidacy for the Conservative Party of Canada in the riding of Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam.[25] In the 2025 Canadian federal election, he was defeated by incumbent Liberal MP Ron McKinnon.[5]
2026 BC Conservative leadership election
In January 2026, Black announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party of British Columbia.[3][4] The results were announced on May 30; Black was eliminated from the race after finishing last in the third ballot with 30% of the vote.[6]
