There’s a growing trend in Canada — one that divides instead of unites, shames instead of inspires. We’re being told we “stole the land,” as if the people who built this country did so out of cruelty instead of courage. The truth is that history is never simple, and pretending otherwise doesn’t bring us closer together. It pushes us further apart.

Ontario’s third-largest school board released a report via email guiding staff on how to support Muslim students and challenge Islamophobia. The 39-page guide, produced in collaboration with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, has raised concerns from parents and policy experts about the growing influence of ideology and politics in schools.
Woke is fading here, but alive and well in Canada. The latest example comes from an apology, yes, another apology for whatever someone dead and buried did too many years ago.
Here is the story …
For outdoorsy pursuits, Canada is in the very top of the leagues. The best skiing in the world is arguably at Whistler near Vancouver; I was blown away by my childhood experience there, almost literally, for there is a constant barrage of fresh snow. It is generally very wintry in Canada and it is the world’s great ice hockey nation.
Nature is big and beautiful throughout the northernmost Commonwealth land in all seasons, and if you have disposable income, you can eat very well too. There is first-rate sushi, Franco-American dishes like the famous poutine, which is a mishmash of chips doused in meat and gravy, and craft beers galore. There is even a mini-slice of France, north American-style, in Montreal and Quebec, where the majority still speak French (for now).
During Israeli Apartheid Week in 2008, the University of Toronto hosted a conference of a newly formed group called High Schools Against Israel Apartheid. Ominously, the conference room was closed to all adults — teachers, parents and media — so we don’t know the particulars of the closed session led by extreme anti-Zionist activists.
This was a pivotal, barrier-crossing event. Organized radical anti-Zionism had up to then targeted (nominal) adults on campus; now they were engaging with lower-hanging fruit in younger, more vulnerable hearts and minds.
TORONTO — Four years after the RCMP first announced investigations into alleged clandestine Chinese “police stations” in Toronto, The Bureau has learned that a Fujian business leader listed as a key principal for the Markham clubhouse under investigation was previously the subject of major narcotics, organized-crime, and triple-murder inquiries in Japan — long before arriving in Canada amid a history of falsified travel documents, gaining citizenship through a refugee claim, and later rising in political and business circles tied to Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
The Blue Jays have lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The last time they won the Fall Classic was in 1993.
Canada’s conservative outlet Juno News depicts Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as an incompetent, narcissistic leader who has done nothing to improve our country’s image on the world stage or to legislate for solvency and freedom of expression in the domestic realm. He is now at the helm of a faltering country that has little hope of struggling back on its feet.
Indeed, it is hard not to suspect that Carney and his Liberals, like the sinister Democrats in the U.S., are driven by a double agenda against the welfare of their own citizens: to deprive them of their political rights and freedoms via legislative and policy initiatives on the one hand, and to render them destitute by eviscerating the economy on the other. These actions are almost certainly deliberate.
The Liberals are Canada’s Democrats – destroyers of their own nations.

Oh Canada!
I’ve lived in Canada for 18 years now—long enough to shed my illusions, but not long enough to stop being stunned by what I see. When I first arrived, I thought Canadians were polite—too polite, almost unbearably so. The endless “sorrys,” the soft tones, the…

A month ago, Raheel Raza, a high-profile Muslim Pakistani Canadian journalist, beloved human rights activist, and fearless critic of Islamist extremism, learned that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is targeting her.
Despite media exposing her plight, no Canadian official reached out to discuss the Iranian Armed Forces’ IRGC terror squad distributing her photo and profile to proxies on its internal network and X. This is only one IRGC method that potentially endangers critics it wants to silence.

I have met Raheel in the sorta long ago past. A steady woman.
Mandatory minimum child pornography sentences unconstitutional, SCC rules
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada says the one-year mandatory minimum jail sentences for accessing or possessing child pornography are unconstitutional.
In a ruling today, the top court says although the sentences contribute to the objectives of denunciation and deterrence, they also remove judges’ discretion to impose sentences other than imprisonment when appropriate.
The decision affirms a ruling of the Quebec Court of Appeal, which said the mandatory minimum sentences violated the Charter guarantee against cruel or unusual punishment.

Canada’s Arab population has tripled over the past two decades to nearly 800,000 people, with most having immigrated from North Africa and the Middle East, according to new data from Statistics Canada.
… Nearly 70% of Arab Canadians identified as Muslim, while 21% said they were Christian.
“They want the cheapest people behind the wheel and unfortunately by doing that … what we are getting now is carnage on the highway.”
Just a few years after waltzing across the border illegally, Indian national Harjinder Singh allegedly killed three people while making an illegal U-turn on a Florida turnpike as he sat behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler in August.
Singh came into the country in 2018 and was handed a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in Washington in 2023, according to the Department of Transportation. He received his license despite having “failed his written exam 10 times, and he took his behind-the-wheel training course at a private CDL school in Washington,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier recently revealed as part of his ongoing investigation into California’s issuance of trucking licenses to illegal immigrants.
A Canadian veteran has told MPs that she has written proof of multiple veterans being offered assisted suicide by Veterans Affairs Canada, reigniting a national controversy over the department’s handling of vulnerable former service members.
Kelsi Sheren, a combat veteran and CEO of Brass & Unity, testified before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs on Wednesday, saying her organization has documented 20 cases in which veterans were allegedly offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) by VAC officials.

The Quebec government has passed a law extending the province’s ban on religious symbols to everyone who interacts with students in schools.
The law also prohibits students from wearing face coverings in a bid to strengthen secularism in schools.
The new legislation expands on a secularism law from 2019 that banned religious symbols for public employees deemed to be in positions of authority, including teachers, judges and police officers.
First it was Prime Minister Mark Carney saying that young people would need to sacrifice, now it’s the head of the Bank of Canada warning of a lower standard of living. It seems that Canada’s leadership sees us as a country in decline, but it shouldn’t be this way.
In fact, that was the point that Bank Governor Tiff Macklem was making on Wednesday. Macklem was talking about the impact of tariffs and American protectionist policy on Canada’s economy.
So who has been at the economy’s helm these past 11 years?
