Data show more Americans aren’t heading to Canada — it’s the other way around

When Donald Trump was first elected U.S. president in 2016, there was a healthy dose of hyperbolic headlines about Americans fleeing to Canada in response, headlines that quickly re-surfaced after his re-election in 2024.

And while it’s true asylum claims from U.S. citizens have spiked in the first full year of both his terms and the ascension of Bill C-3 has opened the citizenship door to untold thousands of Americans with Canadian ancestral roots, new data from the Association for Canadian Studies show fewer U.S. citizens are emigrating north in recent years.

SHAW: Canada is one of the most desired countries on Earth — so why are we told it’s systemically racist?

SHAW: Canada is one of the most desired countries on Earth — so why are we told it’s systemically racist?

If Canada is systemically racist — as the political establishment insists — why is it one of the most sought-after destinations on Earth? Year after year, demand to enter this country remains extraordinarily high. Over 400,000 people became permanent residents in 2023, and even after reductions, nearly 395,000 arrived in 2025.

The vast majority of these immigrants come from countries which diaspora lobbies maintain Canada has historically prejudiced. Whether from India, China, or the Middle East, these groups frequently invoke past injustices inflicted by the Canadian state.


It’s desirable to 3rd World benefit seekers as the elites crave a surplus of cheap foreign labour in order to line their pockets.

In the process they virtually criminalize opposition to mass immigration declaring dissent racist.

Carney embraces this position. The Elbow people are very stupid indeed.

A big week looms for Mark Carney and his ‘new’ Liberals

A big week looms for Mark Carney and his ‘new’ Liberals

Mark Carney seemed especially keen last week to quash any speculation that he intended to shut down Parliament and deliver a new throne speech in the near future.

“It has never even entered my thinking, the possibility of that,” Carney replied, when asked about the rumours, which first appeared in The Globe and Mail.

“I couldn’t have been more surprised to see the suggestion that was under consideration at all.”

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

As provincial budget season winds down nationwide, we are left with the fiscal remains of the day as estimates of budget deficits assault our senses. With the 2025-26 fiscal year wrapping up, every provincial government is reporting or expected to report a budget deficit.

For example, Ontario’s deficit came in below what was projected at only $12.3 billion, but next year’s shortfall is now larger than initially projected at $13.8 billion. As numbers go, being a few billion dollars off from year to year, given the turbulent economic times, is to be expected. After all, borrowing from C.D. Howe, in the end, what is a billion dollars these days, anyway?

A ‘perfect storm’ in the ER: Why one Toronto hospital is sounding the alarm

A ‘perfect storm’ in the ER: Why one Toronto hospital is sounding the alarm

Emergency visits are surging at an east-end Toronto hospital, forcing staff to treat twice as many patients as the facility was built for.

Michael Garron Hospital tells CP24 that emergency department visits have climbed 31 per cent compared to the previous five-year average, with pediatric cases jumping 74 per cent. The spike comes as hospitals across Ontario face mounting pressure tied to funding constraints, staffing challenges, and growing patient needs.

“This is really because of the area that we serve. We have the privilege of serving a community that is represented by a number of patients that are newcomers to Canada, patients that don’t have previous access to care,” he said.

Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea

Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea

OTTAWA — New polling suggests a majority of Canadians think Canada ought to explore joining the European Union at a fraught time for geopolitical relations.

A survey of 4,000 people conducted by Spark Advocacy’s polling arm in March found that one in four respondents thought it would be a good idea for Canada to formally join the economic and political bloc of European nations.

A further 58 per cent indicated it was a proposal worth exploring further, while the remainder felt it was a bad idea.


For starters I believe the EU’s constitution insists prospective members actually be located in Europe.

Secondly if Carney wants in you know it’s a bad thing. The EU is a confederacy of Dumpster Fires.

Young People In Carney’s Canada Have Greater Life-Satisfaction Than Counterparts in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Venezuela … Barely

Young People In Carney’s Canada Have Greater Life-Satisfaction Than Counterparts in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Venezuela … Barely

Young Canadians are increasingly miserable. Government priorities show why

Government budgets shape how we live – and how we feel. If you want to see the consequences of government policy choices, look at how Canadians now rate their life satisfaction.

For nearly two decades, the World Happiness Report has asked people around the globe to evaluate their happiness on a scale from zero to ten. The latest evidence for Canada is frightening.

Research by three Canadian academics shows that the average life satisfaction of younger Canadians – those under 30 – has fallen from 7.6 in the late 2000s to 6.4 in recent years. This steep decline, they report, “places Canada just above Venezuela, Lebanon and Afghanistan on the list of countries experiencing the greatest fall.”

Older Canadian women face tough choices about the life they can afford. That’s why Susan, 76, has lived in her car

Older Canadian women face tough choices about the life they can afford. That’s why Susan, 76, has lived in her car

Sometimes, living in a car is the only way a lady can survive.

At the age of 76, Susan Patricia Staples is a veteran of vehicle residency, as it is called, the act of sleeping in a car with no address except the next Walmart parking lot. She did it for nine impoverished months a few years ago, and if car life sounds like part of her past, it isn’t. Sleeping in her vehicle is the only way she can afford to leave her tiny apartment and visit friends in faraway locales, staying connected to the world.

GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney’s ‘carbon border adjustment mechanism’ will cost you

When Prime Minister Mark Carney announced he would reduce the Liberal government’s consumer carbon tax to zero, he also promised to introduce a “carbon border adjustment mechanism.”

He described the CBAM as a new government measure to “promote fair competition and improve environmental outcomes” while “supporting Canadian jobs in … energy-intensive, trade-exposed sectors, such as steel, chemicals, cement, and aluminum.”

Liberals push back on Conservatives’ criticism of high-speed rail grift

Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon is pushing back on the Conservatives’ calls to cancel the proposed high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City.

Construction on the multi-billion-dollar infrastructure project, overseen by the Crown corporation Alto, is set to begin in 2029 or 2030.

But, speaking to reporters this week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the project a “boondoggle” and a “waste of money.”


No one should trust the Liberal Party ever on any matter.

Spy allegations against veteran Ottawa journalist drew attention from RCMP security unit

OTTAWA — A veteran Canadian journalist facing unproven and disputed allegations that he is working as a pro-Russian operative was the subject of several interviews during an investigation involving the RCMP, the Star has learned.

The exact purpose of the inquiries is unclear, but sources familiar with the probe said members of the RCMP-led INSET national security body had conversations with numerous individuals during the past two years that focused on the Ottawa Citizen’s David Pugliese and claims he is linked to Moscow. At one meeting in 2025, INSET officials “made it clear” they were approaching the matter “as a national security issue,” one of the sources said.

War disrupts Irving Oil’s longtime Saudi crude supply

War disrupts Irving Oil’s longtime Saudi crude supply

Canada’s largest oil refinery is looking for new supply options as the U.S. war on Iran threatens one of its most reliable, and long-standing, sources of crude oil.

Irving Oil recently got permission from federal regulators to use a foreign-owned ship to bring crude oil from Newfoundland’s offshore fields to Saint John, in southern New Brunswick.

Saudi Arabia has been the most reliable source of crude for Irving’s Saint John refinery since it opened in 1960, but Irving told regulators last month that this is no longer certain.
