The Canadian population decline that never happened, and what it means for immigration policy

The Canadian population decline that never happened, and what it means for immigration policy

Remember those headlines about how, for the first time in Canadian history, our population shrank in 2025? It turns out that never happened.

Two weeks ago, Statistics Canada released new demographic estimates. A national population that it previously believed had fallen by more than 100,000 people in 2025 is now estimated to have increased by nearly 300,000.

This higher count is not the result of a new tally of births, deaths or immigrants arriving. It is almost entirely driven by what the statistical agency says is better information on temporary resident departures. Many of the visa students and visa workers the agency previously assumed had left Canada it now believes did not.


It’s the Globe so ultimately TFW’s are fab!

Poll: 4 In 10 Young Americans Support Sharia Law

Poll: 4 In 10 Young Americans Support Sharia Law

A set of polls released this week by Our Republic and Rasmussen show a concerning trend among American youth, especially in light of recently revealed immigration numbers under Biden: A quarter of 18-35 voters polled would support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.

Under Heavy Police Protection, More Muslim Migrants Arrive in Britain

Under Heavy Police Protection, More Muslim Migrants Arrive in Britain

The UK’s Southampton Times reported Sunday that “four coaches of illegal small boat migrants leave Gosport Haslar Marina flanked by police motorbike outriders and a heavy procession of vans and cars.” That’s roughly 400 new migrants. Most, if not all, of them are Muslims from North Africa, coming to Britain because the Labour government is so generous with the benefits it lavishes on new arrivals, courtesy of the longsuffering British taxpayers.

Public safety minister admits security ‘gaps’ after NATO intern arrest

Public safety minister admits security ‘gaps’ after NATO intern arrest

OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree conceded there are “gaps” in the government’s security clearance process, after the arrest of a Canadian woman of Chinese origin charged with spying at NATO headquarters.

“I think there’s over 200,000 screenings that are undertaken every year,” said Anandasangaree, who was grilled by MPs of all stripes at the Commons public safety committee on Monday.


Carney cares so little for Canada that he chose a terrorist symp foreigner for the role of Public Safety Minister.

Rioters could hand Le Pen the presidency Old France is sick of disorder

Rioters could hand Le Pen the presidency Old France is sick of disorder

For most of the past week, the main French news channels have been leading with images that are familiar but still frightening to the French public. The images are of burning trash bins, overturned cars, gangs of masked youths taunting the police and throwing missiles at them — fireworks and Molotov cocktails — as well as attacking firefighters. The police, wearing heavy riot armor and carrying shields, have charged into the crowds of youngsters. They have used not only tear gas, but flash-balls, rubber bullets that constitute a “less-than-lethal” but nonetheless powerfully disabling weapon. Additionally, police have been indiscriminately smashing heads with batons.

At first sight, there is not much new here: after a decade or so of street violence, from the demonstrations of the Gilet Jaunes to the recent protests against pension reform, taking in the 2023 riots against the police killing of young North African in a Paris suburb along the way, the French public is now accustomed to scenes that in any other country would look like freeze-frame snapshots from a war zone.

Why are the police arresting a kid for calling someone a ‘rent boy’?

Why are the police arresting a kid for calling someone a ‘rent boy’?

You can get away with nearly anything in lawless Britain. You can shoplift, deal drugs or launder money, safe in the knowledge that the police will let it slide. Some crimes – like breaking into the country – they will even assist you with. But there is one thing you absolutely cannot do. You cannot say the ‘wrong’ thing on social media.

Report suggests Muslim Brotherhood has plans to transform Canada

Report suggests Muslim Brotherhood has plans to transform Canada

A new report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) argues that the Muslim Brotherhood — the world’s oldest political Islamist group in the Arab world but forbidden to operate as an official political party in several Arab countries — revealed in a 1991 internal explanatory memorandum its “grand mission” to eliminate and destroy western civilization “in America and Canada,” from within. As with many things, Canada appears to be late in addressing this threat. Hopefully, not too late.


Too many Canadians can’t stomach the risk of being called “Islamophobic or “racist” so they’ll just let this slide.

Elbow something.

Four Afghans who gang-raped teenage girl they groomed with vodka and cigarettes jailed

She told a court how she ‘wanted to go home’, but had been plied with vodka and cigarettes before the attack.

The Belleville shooting shattered my faith that care and nuance would keep me safe

The Belleville shooting shattered my faith that care and nuance would keep me safe

On Friday, Sept. 25, I was invited to accompany members of the Sons of Jacob congregation in Belleville, Ont., back into their synagogue for the first time since their Kol Nidre service had been shattered by gunfire earlier that month.

During this intimate service for Shabbat, or the weekly Jewish day of rest, I stood beside a stained-glass window riddled with bullet holes, frighteningly close to the pews where we prayed. The service was small and beautiful. People cried openly as they sang. They expressed gratitude for the lives they were still able to live, and they prayed for Constables Jeff Smith and Michael McCurdy, who had helped ensure that they could. There was something surreal about standing in a place of religious refuge while confronting how little distance had separated an ordinary Jewish service from mass death

France: Indian migrant ‘neo-Nazi’ faces life in prison for forcing young girls to perform sexual acts and self-mutilate, arrived via student visa

An Indian man who described himself as “masculinist,” “neo-Nazi” and “excited by blood and violence,” went on trial Monday behind closed doors at the Paris Assize Court, accused of leading a Discord group that blackmailed dozens of teenage girls into filming their own sexual abuse and self-mutilation, including carving swastikas into their skin.

QUESNEL: When ‘colonial trauma’ becomes a get-out-of-jail-free card

QUESNEL: When ‘colonial trauma’ becomes a get-out-of-jail-free card

On a rural road near Brantford, Ontario, Darris Wilson slammed his Dodge Ram pickup truck into a small Mitsubishi subcompact car, killing 12-year-old Sierra Beverly and severely injuring her mother, Naomi.

Wilson was originally charged with impaired operation causing death and bodily harm but was eventually convicted of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm, an offence carrying a sentence of up to 14 years. Yet last month, Justice Gethin Edward, an indigenous judge and member of the Six Nations of the Grand River, sentenced Wilson to two years of house arrest. The Crown had requested at least four years in prison.

The Fraud of White Guilt

The Fraud of White Guilt

When you hear people say we need a conversation about race, you know instantly what they mean. They want an accusation: that a corrupt America remains unwilling to confront racial injustice and inequality.

That is what makes Shelby Steele so bracing. He believes a national conversation on race needs to be had. But Mr. Steele believes an honest conversation would acknowledge the real progress America has made since the days when schools and water fountains were segregated.

Above all, he believes that while some people may hold bigoted beliefs, racism is no longer the main barrier to black achievement. To the contrary, he sees affirmative action and dependency as creating a culture that assumes African-Americans can’t compete and hobbles them by disregarding merit.

Gwyn Morgan: We’re heading toward another failed government in Ottawa

The breakdown of trade discussions between the United States and Canada has resulted in Prime Minister Carney turning to expanded trade with Europe. That raises two fundamental questions:

First, Canada already has a free trade agreement with the EU: the Canada-European Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Canada also has the Trade Continuity Agreement (TCA) with Britain, and an agreement with European Free Trade Association (EFTA), whose members include Iceland, Lichenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Given that we have these agreements with virtually all of Europe, what does “turning to Europe” mean exactly?
