Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it

White Liberal Refugees Fleeing To Canada

Amid rising tensions in the United States, many Americans are looking to Canada — and their roots — for a possible way out.

Lynn Rutman, a Cape Cod, Mass., resident with family ties to Quebec and Nova Scotia dating back centuries, said she’s worried about the political situation in her country, citing recent events surrounding controversial immigration enforcement policies and long-standing ideological divides.

“It’s not just me, many of us are concerned,” she said.

The CBC should be ashamed for leading on these deluded progressives but I am sure the Elbow people eat this slop up.

Their enthusiasm for Canadian citizenship will quickly end once they realize what a dumpster fire the nation has become.

Poilievre Says US Action in Iran, Venezuela Part of Strategy to Counter China

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and Iran is part of a broader strategy to counter China’s reach around the globe.

In Canada’s major cities, fertility rates are in steep decline. What happened?

Every major city across Canada has seen a drop in fertility rates over the past five years – with many cities falling to record new lows – according to data obtained by The Globe and Mail.

While Canada’s fertility rate has been declining for more than six decades, it’s fallen especially steeply over the past decade, earning Canada entry in 2023 into the club of “lowest-low” fertility countries, alongside South Korea, Italy and Japan. The Globe and Mail requested data from Statistics Canada on fertility rates for major urban areas between 2020 to 2024, in order to understand how this has played out in our largest cities.

Iranian mathematician missing in Canada may have been targeted by Tehran, activists say

Police in Canada have concluded that a missing Iranian activist was most likely the victim of murder, prompting fears that his disappearance has the hallmarks of a transnational repression campaign targeting critics of Tehran.

Masood Masjoody, a mathematician critical of both Iran’s theocratic regime and the exiled family of the former shah, went missing in early February in the city of Burnaby, British Columbia.

A Canadian Lawmaker, and Friend of JD Vance, Channels Charlie Kirk

Jamil Jivani, a Canadian lawmaker who bonded with JD Vance at Yale Law School and delivered a Bible reading at his wedding, arrived at the University of Calgary on a recent winter evening — the latest stop on his tour of Canadian college campuses.

If the tour sounded familiar — Mr. Jivani celebrated masculinity and reached out especially to young men in the age of diversity, equity and inclusion — that’s because it was inspired by the movement started by Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. A month after Mr. Kirk’s killing in September, Mr. Jivani began his tour to “honor that same commitment to free speech and free debate” represented by the “great Charlie Kirk,” he told Breitbart News, the right-wing site.

With echoes of President Trump’s movement, Mr. Jivani called his own “Restore the North.”

Pierre Poilievre plants the seeds of an alternative to the Carney doctrine

We find ourselves suddenly returned to the great days of the set-piece speech. At a time when attention spans are said to be shorter than ever, when the media is consumed with clickbait and politics is all about getting likes on TikTok, in recent weeks the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition have each chosen to deliver lengthy, learned, intricately argued speeches on, of all things, foreign policy.

Accused in Wedding case linked to Project South police-corruption investigation

A central figure accused in the Project South police corruption probe has been linked in court documents to an alleged accomplice of cocaine kingpin Ryan Wedding, connecting for the first time the two sprawling investigations into organized crime in Canada.

Brian Da Costa, an alleged drug trafficker accused of bribing Toronto police officers and leaking computer data later used in organized crime intimidation campaigns, has been ordered not to contact Gurpreet Singh − a Toronto-area man who allegedly conspired to transport hundreds of kilograms of cocaine into Canada for the Wedding network.

Canada’s top crying general weighing military options to support Gulf states in Iran conflict – DEI expected to play key role

CAF – Little Green Army Men. Some In Bright Summer Dresses.

OTTAWA — Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff General Jennie Carignan said she will be meeting with her European counterparts on Friday morning to discuss military options to support Gulf states. But Carignan ruled out any Canadian military involvement in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

“We are not talking about participating to Epic Fury, per se, this is not the mission that we are considering,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence on Thursday.

What military options? It’s doubtful the CAF could put down a sewing circle at this point.

How Canada Birthed a Sinaloa Cartel Boss: A Veteran Mountie With 50 Years of Experience Explains the Unthinkable Rise of Ryan Wedding

OTTAWA — In this episode, former senior Mountie Garry Clement joins Sam Cooper to answer a question that should unsettle every Canadian: how does a figure like Ryan Wedding — an Olympic athlete from Coquitlam — end up becoming one of the most feared Sinaloa Cartel operatives in North America? The answer, Clement argues, has less to do with Wedding himself than with the country that made his rise possible.
