Canada’s young people, especially the large numbers of younger conservatives, feel more and more homeless in their own country.
They are not only priced out of housing, but told by their teachers, media broadcasters, and elected officials that Canada is imaginary, and that Canadians are guilty of being genocidal “settlers” by demerit of their birth and heritage. There is real and justified anger among them.
While it will enrage the usual suspects, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s assertion Canada’s “immigration insanity,” rather than his boss’ trade war against us, is the reason Canada’s “living standards have stagnated,” contains an element of truth.
Vance made the claims on X on Friday, in responding to a chart posted by another user that showed Canada’s real (inflation-adjusted) GDP per person – a widely accepted metric for determining a nation’s standard of living – has plummeted in recent years.
And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.
The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

In his new book, a former national security analyst and federal policy advisor outlines the Chinese regime’s decades-long effort to infiltrate and influence Canada, including tactics ranging from cultivating aspiring political leaders to espionage, theft, and harassment.
Released on Nov. 18, “Under Assault: Interference and Espionage in China’s Secret War Against Canada” details how the People’s Republic of China (PRC), under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has for decades targeted Canada for influence and interference with the ultimate goal of spying on and pressuring its rival, the United States.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, backing away from a key international priority of his Liberal predecessors, says his government does not have a feminist foreign policy.
Cabinet ministers under former prime minister Justin Trudeau announced in 2017 that their government had a feminist foreign policy, and they continued to refer to the policy for years after.
Their support deepened further in 2020 when the government promised to draft a full document to define the policy.
But despite years of backroom discussions by federal officials, no document was ever published. And now Mr. Carney is distancing himself from the concept.
Canadians have never been richer and more miserable at the same time.
On paper, things aren’t so bad. Economists say we’re on track to dodge a recession this year and next. Who would have predicted that back in the spring when our closest ally launched an offensive at the heart of Canadian prosperity?
Canada‘s existing fleet of fighter jets is overdue for replacement. The CF-18s have been operating continuously since the early 1980s, longer than most of their pilots have been alive. The basic existing design of the fighter is even older than that.
They should have been replaced long ago. This was supposedly a priority for the Harper government. In theory, it was a priority for the Trudeau government, too. Now it’s a problem for the Carney government.
Canada is moving with what could be called urgent caution as stablecoin goes mainstream.
Stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency, or digital dollar, which has stability as perhaps its greatest asset. Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies are notoriously volatile.
Stablecoin, by contrast, is backed by real assets — cash or high-quality liquid assets — and is pegged one-to-one to a currency or commodity, often the U.S. dollar, the world’s reserve currency.
It will be just stable enough for the Laurentian elites to profit handsomely before it crashes and the tax payers are left holding the bag.
The “Lost Canadians” legislation, which aims to fix Canada’s unconstitutional citizenship, received royal assent Thursday after being approved by the Senate on Wednesday.
The term “Lost Canadians” refers to people who were born outside of the country to Canadian parents who were also born in another country.
In 2009, the Conservative federal government changed the law so that Canadians born abroad could only pass down their citizenship if their child was born in Canada.
Our government read the room and determined they hadn't quite watered down Canadian citizenship enough. https://t.co/37WTGALyEe

JOHANNESBURG – The world’s most influential nations gathered in South Africa to work around Washington’s disruptive foreign policy Saturday, reaching consensus on issues like climate change and gender equality while pushing back on a Ukraine deal that western allies deemed insufficient.
For Canada, disruptive geopolitics led to a technology pact with India, a recent foe, along with a cut to Ottawa’s funding for global health and talks with countries grappling with American and Chinese trade coercion.
“It is a great day for multilateralism,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand told reporters in Johannesburg.
Canada is that kid who is tolerated because he gives money as a Tag Along Tax.
Canada is so overwhelmed by refugee claimants that it is now standard practice to conduct security screenings on the honour system, the head of Canada’s border patrol union told Parliamentarians this week.
Presently, Quebec’s legislature, the National Assembly, is debating a new provincial constitution that would declare Quebec a “free national State,” known as the State of Quebec, “fully sovereign” from the rest of Canada. The new constitution would assert that the province may appoint its own superior court judges (a power now reserved to Ottawa), conduct foreign policy separate from (or even at odds with) Canada’s foreign policy, ignore federal laws and participate in national institutions only when Quebec wishes to.
It’s effectively a declaration of independence without having to give up billions annually in transfer and equalization payments.
Recent polling shows that more than half of Canadians now believe immigration levels are too high — double the number from just three years ago. One-third think immigration increases crime, and six in 10 say too many newcomers fail to adopt Canadian values. These are not the views of a suddenly intolerant country. They reflect a public losing confidence in a system that no longer seems to protect their safety or the integrity of Canadian citizenship.
We recently received information from a reliable industry source about how the federal government is administering beef import permits. If accurate, it raises serious concerns about whether the federal government is knowingly sustaining an outdated and opaque system that keeps beef prices unnecessarily high.
At a time when many families are struggling with food costs, this is more than a bureaucratic issue — it directly affects affordability.
As is so often the case in Liberal Canada someone is stealing the food off your plate.
The federal Conservatives are pushing for stricter rules against asylum claimants and those who fail their claims, and quicker deportation of non-citizens convicted of serious crimes, says the party’s immigration critic.
At a news conference Thursday, Alberta MP Michelle Rempel Garner announced a number of amendments the opposition party is going to table next week to Bill C-12, the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, which is currently before the parliamentary public safety committee.
The federal government’s Impact and Innovation Unit (IIU) worked very hard to persuade Canadians to get injected with the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. Modelled after the United Kingdom’s Behavioural Insights Team, the IIU uses social psychology and “nudge” theory to test public messaging and implement other public behavioural interventions.
