(LifeSiteNews) — Conservative MPs are blasting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney after he said during a trip to Communist China that he is “heartened by the leadership” of President Xi Jinping and that the two nations working together sets them up for a “New World Order.” Carney, along with his top ministers, met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday and commented that the two nations can be “strategic partners” on issues such as “security.” “I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the New World Order.” WATCH: Today in Beijing, PM Mark Carney says he is “heartened by the leadership” of the Chinese dictator, that Canada and Communist China can be “strategic partners” – including on “issues of security” – and invokes the “New World Order.” pic.twitter.com/D5ROsBbqJA — Juno News (@junonewscom) January 15, 2026 Online reaction to Carney’s comments came swiftly from Conservative Canadians. One commentator noted that Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, who is with Carney on the China trip, looked stunned by the PM’s mention of the “New World Order.” “I worked for Scott Moe (the man in the background here), and I know him personally, and he is *very stoic,* an incredibly difficult man to fluster,” wrote X user @wokal_distance. “So that look that gives when Mark Carney says ‘New World Order’ is a genuine look of shock and surprise.” “Does anyone else remember when Mark Carney campaigned on*checks notes*…partnering with China’s communist government to ‘set us up well for the new world order?’WHAT is he talking about??” commented Conservative MP Chris Warkentin.

The question is what gets built in its place… pic.twitter.com/UM6cvvKGgL — Clash Report (@clashreport) January 16, 2026 Barbara Bal, who ran as a Conservative candidate in the last election, noted how Carney’s remarks prove “conspiracy” theorists about the New World Order may have been right all along “A ‘New World Order?’ Wasn’t this considered conspiracy theory a few years ago?” noted Bal on X. Conservative MP Blaine Calkins ripped into Carney’s comments in an X post, noting how he did not think things could be “worse” under Carney as opposed to former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “Mark Carney is talking to the communist human rights abusing PRC regime about a ‘new world order’…WHAT on earth is he talking about?” he noted. “I didn’t recognize Canada when Trudeau was the Prime Minister. I didn’t think things could get any worse,” he added. New Conservative MP David Bexte, from Alberta, tore into Carney, saying on X, “Hey Mark Carney, when you’re done in Beijing, come to Bow River and see what people think of your New World Order [expletive].” Carney is said to be negotiating new trade deals relating to Canadian agricultural products, such as canola, and trying to get tariffs reduced. China has been accused of direct election meddling in Canada, as reported by LifeSiteNews. LifeSiteNews also reported on an exposé claiming that Carney and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are influenced by an “elite network” of foreign actors, including those with ties to China and the World Economic Forum. Despite Carney’s later claims that China poses a threat to Canada, he said in 2016 that the Communist Chinese regime’s “perspective” is “one of its many strengths.” Recently LifeSiteNews reported that Canada’s federal government admitted there could be more than 2,400 people or entities operating in the nation as undeclared foreign “agents,” some of whom work to bend the will of all levels of politicians via other countries’ governments.

OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian Federal Court of Appeal today affirmed in a ruling that former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act (EA) in 2022 to take out the Freedom Convoy protesters against COVID dictates was illegal. According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), the appeals court today upheld a 2024 ruling by Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley that Trudeau’s use of the EA was “not justified.” “This decision confirms what Canadians witnessed in real time in 2022. The Emergencies Act was never meant to be used against peaceful citizens exercising fundamental freedoms,” JCCF president John Carpay said in a media statement sent to LifeSiteNews. “Today’s ruling is a significant victory for the rule of law and for the principle that governments are bound by limits, even in moments of political pressure. Emergency powers must remain truly exceptional, or they cease to be compatible with a free and democratic society.” Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis, who was a vocal opponent of using the EA, welcomed the news, noting on X, “When governments stretch the law, public trust erodes.” “This case is a reminder of how fragile our democracy is. When millions of people lose the right to work, travel, and socialize, governments must act with humility and restraint. Invoking the Emergencies Act when police indicated the situation was under control crossed a dangerous line. Freedom and liberty endure only when we are willing to defend rights, even those we may not agree with.” The JCCF observed that today’s ruling “affirms the lower court ruling that the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act against peaceful protesters in Ottawa in February 2022 was illegal.” “The Court confirmed that the high legal threshold required to invoke the Emergencies Act was not met, and that the situation in Ottawa could have been addressed using existing Canadian laws without resorting to emergency powers,” the JCCF noted. JCCF-funded lawyers were provided for four Canadians who participated in the Freedom Convoy and who then challenged the invocation of the EA. The JCCF said it was granted standing before the “Public Order Emergency Commission, where lawyers cross-examined Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other senior government officials under oath about their decision to invoke emergency powers against peaceful demonstrators in 2022.” “Since that time, the Justice Centre has continued to fund the legal defence of dozens of Canadians, including Chris Barber, who have been criminally charged simply for peacefully exercising their Charter rights during the Freedom Convoy,” it noted. 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, Trudeau’s federal government enacted the EA in mid-February. Trudeau had disparaged Canadians who chose not to get the COVID shots, saying those opposing his measures were of a “small, fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views” and do not “represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other.”    After the protesters were cleared out, which was achieved through the freezing of bank accounts of those involved without a court order as well as the physical removal and arrest of demonstrators, Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23, 2022. At the time, seven of Canada’s 10 provinces opposed Trudeau’s use of the EA.

(LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian Conservative MP criticized a Liberal MP for allegedly implying that those who bring into Canada so-called “MAGA religious extremism” confirms there is justification for enacting a federal law that, if passed, could ban quoting certain parts of the Bible in public. Conservative MP Andrew Lawton, as reported by LifeSiteNews, stated on January 13 in a video posted on X that Canadians ���need to stop the Liberal attack on religious freedom.” Lawton was referring to Liberal Bill C-9, or the Combating Hate Act, which, if passed, could potentially criminalize parts of the Bible about homosexuality. Conservative MPs have warned that Bill C-9 is a direct “attack” on religious freedom and would allow the “prosecution” of those who simply read certain passages of scripture in “good faith.” In reply to his X video post, Liberal MP John Paul Danko wrote, “Importing MAGA religious extremism to Canada, and complete alignment with @realDonaldTrump Anger, division and weird conspiracy theories – this is @PierrePoilievre‘s @CPC_HQ.” In reply, Lawton wrote on X that Danko “says it’s ‘MAGA religious extremism’ to think Canadians shouldn’t be charged for quoting certain verses of the Bible or Torah, as his colleague Marc Miller says should happen.” “You should come out to one of our town halls, JP. You might learn something,” he added. Liberal MP Marc Miller had said last year that certain passages of the Bible are “hateful” because of what they say about homosexuality, and those who recite the passages should be jailed. As reported by LifeSiteNews, he was appointed as a government minister by Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney. Lawton’s “Religious Freedom” town hall main event will be held January 20 in Brampton, Ontario, hosted by multiple Conservative MPs. Lawton is currently touring Canada for additional “Religious Freedom” events leading up to the main event, as reported by LifeSiteNews. About Bill C-9, Lawton has said that it is a “very dangerous” bill that squarely takes “aim at religious freedom and freedom of expression.” “The bill is supposed to be protected communities from hate but actually will send people to jail for up to two years if they express a religious view or even cite a religious scripture the government finds offensive,” he said. “My Conservative colleagues and I have been 100 percent clear. We have been unequivocal, that we will not stand for this attack on religious freedom and freedom of expression for Canadians.” As reported by LifeSiteNews, Bill C-9 has been blasted by constitutional experts as allowing empowered police and the government to go after those it deems to have violated a person’s “feelings” in a “hateful” way. The bill was introduced by Justice Minister Sean Fraser last year. The bill, if passed, could criminalize parts of the Bible, with Conservative MPs warning it is a direct “attack” on religious freedom and would allow the “prosecution” of those who simply read certain passages of scripture in “good faith.” As reported by LifeSiteNews, Carney’s Liberal government recently passed amendments to the bill removing a religious exception. The amendments to Bill C-9 have been condemned by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, who penned an open letter to the Carney Liberals blasting the proposed amendment and calling for its removal.
