Canada’s Food System Is Under Strain—What Farmers Are Saying Should Concern Us All

Canada’s Food System Is Under Strain—What Farmers Are Saying Should Concern Us All

Canada is not supposed to have a food problem.

It is a country defined by its capacity to produce—vast agricultural land, reliable water, and generations of farmers who have sustained both. For most Canadians, food has been stable, available, and dependable.

That has not been an assumption. It has been a lived reality. That reality is now under strain.

MACLEOD: Canada’s space program — national strategy or political theatre?

MACLEOD: Canada’s space program — national strategy or political theatre?

Canada has always liked to tell itself a flattering story about space. We built the Canadarm. We have serious engineers. We have respected astronauts. We punch above our weight. All true.

But there has always been one glaring omission in the national mythology: Canada still cannot launch its own payloads into orbit from Canadian soil. Even now, despite all the lofty rhetoric, we have had to rely on other countries actually to get the job done.

Conservatives gain ground in new poll, but Canadian politics is in a ‘holding pattern’

Conservatives gain ground in new poll, but Canadian politics is in a ‘holding pattern’

OTTAWA — A Postmedia-Leger poll published this week shows the Conservatives narrowing the gap slightly with the Liberals, but satisfaction with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s performance remains high among Canadians overall.

Forty-eight per cent of Canadians said they support the Liberals, compared with 37 per cent for the Conservatives, when asked which political party they would vote for if a federal election were held today. That amounts to an increase of three percentage points for the Conservatives compared with a similar poll conducted eight weeks ago.

Islamism, not the cost-of-living, is the root of this anti-Semitic violence

On Thursday night, the day after the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London, Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward was asked a simple question on the BBC’s Question Time. ‘You’ve stated you’ve seen racial hatred in this country’, said a member of the audience. ‘Could you please specify where that hatred is coming from?’

No ‘resilient’ economy for young workers

No ‘resilient’ economy for young workers

Canada’s high youth unemployment rate flies in the face of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s boast about the “resilience” of the economy in the government’s spring economic update this week.

While high unemployment is a concern across all age groups, Statistics Canada’s most recent labour force survey reported that the youth unemployment rate of 13.8% in March was more than double the national average of 6.7%.

What gall.

Coddling Leftist Assassins

Coddling Leftist Assassins

I’m not a lawyer, nor is that a profession I especially admire. When I think of lawyers I think of the American Justice system, and when I think of that I begin to dwell on cases like the Charlie Kirk assassination and the treatment of Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson.

Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, and yet Robinson’s trial may not begin for another six months. That’s one and a half years since the soyboy with an enormous drop jaw (look at his profile) climbed to that rooftop in Orem, Utah and shot and killed a man in the prime of life. When Kirk was assassinated, he was explaining to the outdoor audience at Utah Valley University the dangers of transgender ideology.

Michael Higgins: She heckled a land acknowledgement. Child services were sent after her

Michael Higgins: She heckled a land acknowledgement. Child services were sent after her

Childcare authorities were called on Lara Yates, a mother-of-four, after she dared to heckle a land acknowledgement at a school in British Columbia, says her lawyer.

Land acknowledgements are tedious political theatre and pompous virtue signalling and weaponizing social services to persecute those who refuse to adhere to this zealotry smacks of the Inquisition.

An anti-Semitic terrorist was a ‘martyr’, the October 7 attack was a ‘false flag’ and Israel is a colony of ‘rapists’… say the Green Party hopefuls running for election

An anti-Semitic terrorist was a ‘martyr’, the October 7 attack was a ‘false flag’ and Israel is a colony of ‘rapists’… say the Green Party hopefuls running for election

Their job has been to nurture and educate the next generation. But now they are cultivating their own political ambitions by standing in the local elections – prompting alarm over their views and fears for the young people they are influencing.

A Daily Mail investigation has discovered that a primary school governor, secondary school teacher and recently retired university professor who are all Green party candidates in next week’s polls, face accusations of ‘gross anti-Semitism’.

They have posted or shared shocking images on social media variously including claims that the October 7 atrocities were either a ‘false flag’ [a covert Israeli operation] or self-defence on the part of the perpetrators and that a terrorist who stabbed two Jews to death in 2016 was a ‘martyr’.

Antisemitism is quantifiably bad in Canada. Are Canadians just going to accept that?

Antisemitism is quantifiably bad in Canada. Are Canadians just going to accept that?

Two Jewish men were stabbed after leaving a synagogue in London this week – the same area where a volunteer Jewish organization’s ambulances were torched a few weeks ago. (The first responders at the latest attack? A volunteer Jewish neighbourhood watch group.)

“It’s no longer safe to be visibly Jewish on the streets of London,” a (non-Jewish) woman, Jan Bowman, said at a demonstration afterward.


My honest take is that we will have to be rescued by the US when they decide remigration is a national security issue.

The powerful incentives for vilifying white Americans

The powerful incentives for vilifying white Americans

The Southern Poverty Law Center may not, we hope, be long for this world. The Trump administration’s new indictment has exposed the organization’s practice of funneling millions of dollars through fake bank accounts to “informants” sitting in senior positions at the very “hate groups” it claimed to monitor. Even if the SPLC survives, the criminal proceedings may leave it so damaged and exhausted that it sheds most of its influence.

Others have charted out the potential financial incentives behind the SPLC’s alleged misconduct: the demand for “hate” in America exceeds the supply, so to create sufficient far-right activity to keep donations flowing, the SPLC was perhaps ready to pay off the operatives it supposedly fought. The SPLC meanwhile contests any wrongdoing and maintains that its informant program saved lives and was known to the legal authorities.

OLDCORN: Temporary means temporary — why Doug Ford’s ‘snap his fingers’ immigration comments miss the point

OLDCORN: Temporary means temporary — why Doug Ford’s ‘snap his fingers’ immigration comments miss the point

Progressive Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a bad habit of saying what “sounds kind” in the moment, while leaving taxpayers to deal with the real cost later.

His latest comments on temporary foreign workers are a perfect example.

At a press conference in Brampton, Ford said he wished he could “snap his fingers” and let temporary workers stay in Ontario.

The Rothschild Dynasty Survived Wars and Crises. Will the Epstein Files Tear It Apart?

The Rothschild Dynasty Survived Wars and Crises. Will the Epstein Files Tear It Apart?

On a sunny Friday in March, Ariane de Rothschild assembled staff from her bank in a glass-roofed park pavilion in central Paris. The chief executive told the dozens of private bankers and fund managers that business at the Swiss bank was strong.

As she spoke, French police arrived at the bank’s townhouse office a short walk away. They had orders to search the property as part of an investigation into a diplomat who used to work at the bank and was an associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein. After the event, the CEO went to meet them.

The raid came after the Justice Department’s release of millions of Epstein files had put a harsh spotlight on the sex offender’s elite network of associates—influential people like Ariane, a billionaire baroness through her marriage into the Rothschild dynasty. The DOJ files showed she visited Epstein’s island, sought his advice about complex family relationships and had her bank pay him a $25 million fee for consulting.
