Equalization payments aren’t just a problem for western Canadians, a new poll suggests, with a majority of Ontario residents finding the federal government’s redistribution of provincial wealth to be unfair.
Canada
Justin Trudeau isn’t the progressive leader he thinks he is
It came as no surprise to me to see activists ‘celebrating’ Canada Day by setting fire to churches and toppling statues of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, while chanting, ‘No pride in genocide.’
Canada has managed to cultivate a culture that is simultaneously self-hating and self-righteous. We have no pride in being Canadian. Yet we are confident we are better than everyone else.

Canada & the U.S at risk of an energy crisis -OPEC & energy security
“… It is important to note that OPEC did not have a huge monopoly over the oil market in 1973. They had 56% of the oil market, according to energyeducation.ca -meeting the US Department of Justice‘s monopoly threshold which is defined as a market share of greater than 50 percent. It was enough to manipulate prices to shock the oil market and create a shortage in global supply. Currently, OPEC (less Russia) will produce 33.7 million barrels a day in 2021, while Russia- according to Interfax International Information Group- produces 10.2 million barrels a day. That leaves OECD countries producing 43.9 m/bd – so currently OPEC plus appears to control about 54% of the market. Dan McTeague warns that currently “OPEC and Russia produce nearly half the world’s oil needs. That’s quite a powerful block at a time when western nations seem intent on killing this vital resource.” It’s interesting that a similar price shock occurred in 1979, as the Iranian Revolution and the subsequent Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) restricted the supply of oil from Iran and once again created a shortage in global supply and doubled oil prices…”
If a federal election were called, would Conservative premiers take on Ottawa again? … Wait… There are Conservative Premiers?
“Everybody is looking for a change, but nobody has the energy to start the movement,” said Alise Mills, a Conservative strategist and senior counsel with Sussex Strategy Group.
“Every premier in this country has got a few scars and battle wounds, and some are bleeding heavier than others and know that the focus has to be on holding their ground and winning back what they’ve lost during the pandemic.”
My racist math doesn’t see it happening, much less an O’Toole victory.
Douglas Todd: Canada has abandoned middle class, says B.C.’s former top civil servant
“Let me state upfront that I am in favour of maintaining immigration at significant levels,” Wright says from the get-go, affirming Canada is a “wonderful multi-ethnic, multicultural nation” in which immigration continues to be a positive factor, despite issues with economic inequality.
Trudeau Using Colonialism To Transform Anglophone Canadians Into Second Class Citizens
“Queen Victoria presided during some of the most brutal years of colonial history — when land was stolen the most, when things like the Indian Act were put into place.”
“The response was prompted by anger and frustration, as more people confront the grim truths of Canada’s residential school system and the country’s colonial legacy.”
So goes what is today a staple of society resulting from the discovery of deceased Indigenous children at former residential schools. Not that this is a post-modern social issue. Our society has been struggling with the treatment of Aboriginal Canadians for at least a century.
Canada is burning their churches down with official approval
Canada‘s leftists are burning down churches and Prime Minister Trudeau is doing nothing about it. Trudeau can arrest pastors and put fences around their churches to prevent services, but he can’t do a thing about stopping the Left from burning them to the ground?
Canada has ‘a practical and a moral duty’ to fight COVID-19 around the world: Freeland
Her comments come on the heels of a G20 meeting in Venice, where the leaders of the 20 most powerful economies in the world agreed that global economic recovery is at risk as a result of the rise of new COVID-19 variants — a risk that is heightened by some nations’ poor access to vaccines.
Trudeau Liberals to apologize for racism towards black First World War battalion next year
Black members who were part of No. 2 Construction Battalion, which was formed in 1916 in Pictou, Nova Scotia, were rejected from the Canadian Expeditionary Force because of their skin colour.
Ted Cruz, Lauren Boebert, Premier of Alberta All Blast Biden’s Appeal to OPEC
If Joe Biden were trying to injure our energy position in relation to the rest of the world, in particular Russia, he couldn’t have done too much more to be destructive than what he’s already done.
We saw how Biden has harmed our energy position by attacking fossil fuels and cutting the Keystone XL Pipeline over climate change, and the green agenda. He’s now being sued over stopping the Pipeline. His explicit goal is for us to pump less, to have less domestic oil production.
Jonathan Kay: The performative snobbery of social justice invades the supermarket
“Ottawa plans to teach non-racialized Canadians about systemic racism in new campaign,” read a CTV News headline on Wednesday. If you’re wondering what a “non-racialized” human being looks like, the story helpfully indicates that the term means “white.”
With no fixed voting day, no election spending rules constrain political party ads
Canadian party leaders worked their way around the country this week, in what some see as a sure sign the pandemic is near its end, but also as proof that a federal election is on its way.
But with the fixed-election date still more than two years away, does a pre-election campaign that looks like a pre-election campaign and smells like a pre-election campaign, actually qualify as a pre-election campaign?
Trudeau campaigns on the tax payer dime 24/7, it’s a feature not a bug.
We Need To Stop Rewarding Weakness
What happened to the idea of adults being resilient and taking action rather than putting on endless emotional displays?
Why I’m not proud to be a Canadian
This country is run by cowards and imbeciles
It came as no surprise to me to see activists ‘celebrating’ Canada Day by setting fire to churches and toppling statues of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, while chanting, ‘No pride in genocide.’
Canada has managed to cultivate a culture that is simultaneously self-hating and self-righteous. We have no pride in being Canadian. Yet we are confident we are better than everyone else.
Canadian athletes dodging taxes shouldn’t represent Canada at Olympics
“… Andreescu and Auger-Aliassime chose Monaco as their tax haven. The sovereign city-state levies no income tax, no wealth tax, no local tax, no property tax, and no capital gains tax on investments. Just deposit 500,000 euros in a local bank, and show proof of local accommodation (purchase or rental) and voilà — a marginal tax rate on income of 53.31 per cent in Ontario or Quebec is replaced with zero per cent in Monaco. This could be worth millions of dollars for the players.
Canada is a certain medalist in the Joke Country Olympics.
