Canada’s population decline may just be a distant memory after the data is updated. In June, Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) population estimate contained a stark warning that its data will see an unusually large revision. CIBC economists expect the revision will be large enough to reverse the reported declines and expose a new problem—Canada’s job numbers may be worse than reported, and there’s no longer an excuse for poor economic growth.
Young people still looking for summer work are expected to flock to a Toronto convention centre today for a shot at a job at Canada’s largest agricultural fair.
The Canadian National Exhibition says it has received nearly 50,000 applications ahead of its annual job fair, which is set to take place at the Enercare Centre.
In the opening vignette of the ‘Wandering Rocks’ episode in James Joyce’s Ulysses, Father John Conmee S.J. strolls from Dublin’s Mountjoy Square to the North Circular Road, on his way to a Christian Brothers’ school in Artane, to help a family in distress, while intermittently musing about the good work the Catholic Church has done not only in Dublin but even on the missions in far-off Africa.
A city in Quebec has reinstalled its monument to Samuel de Champlain in a new location, almost a decade after it was originally taken down for maintenance.
The monument to the French explorer was relocated to the parc de la Francophonie, in Gatineau, Que., on Thursday. Previously, the statue was installed at the intersection of promenade du Portage and rue Laval until 2016, when it was removed during construction work in downtown Gatineau.
Recent statements by Canadian politicians show that the Canadian political class wishes for Canadians to apologize for their history and minimize the qualities of their culture. Contrary to those statements, Canadians have little to apologize for and much to be proud of. Former prime minister Justin Trudeau famously remarked that Canada is a “post-national state without an identity.” Current Prime Minister Mark Carney recently remarked while in Ireland for the G7 summit that Canada is “a mosaic of cultures, not a melting pot.” In 2025, BC New Democratic MLA Rohini Arora said that Canadians should consider themselves to be “colonizers.” When Trudeau says that Canada does not have an identity, it minimizes the historical exceptionalism and qualities Canada has. As the current Prime Minister is attending an international event peddling Canada as a middle power, he is making the case that all cultures are compatible with Canadian culture. The comments from the New Democratic MLA in BC attempt to ensure that Canadians think their culture is so inferior to other cultures that Canadians should only consider themselves to be colonizers.
On June 8, Liberal MP for Etobicoke Centre, Yvan Baker, introduced a private member’s bill to declare July of every year as “Somali Heritage Month.”
It should be noted that Toronto’s Etobicoke is home to a large, heavily concentrated Somali population. In June 2024, Baker gathered with “members and leaders of the Somali-Canadian community” to raise the Somali flag at City Hall to “celebrate Somalia’s Independence Day.”
The latest figures released by England’s Department for Education offer a glimpse into the country’s future, revealing how the British are slowly becoming a minority in their own country.
According to the data for the 2025–2026 school year, the proportion of pupils identified as white British has fallen below 60% for the first time, while the share of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds has reached a record high of nearly 39%.
Who decided that the class room pictured above was an evil that needs to be eradicated?
The Bank of England has decided that Winston Churchill, Alan Turing, and Jane Austen are too controversial to appear on British banknotes. So they’re replacing them with frogs.
Two-thirds of young Britons don’t recognize the significance of V-E Day, according to a survey from the Royal British Veterans Enterprise. The findings, released to coincide with the 81st anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe on May 8, expose Gen Z’s shocking historical ignorance of a military victory that, for decades, was central to British identity.
These findings are no surprise. Today’s young adults have grown up at a time when Great Britain is at war with its own past. They came of age viewing footage of Black Lives Matter protesters in Bristol toppling a 125-year-old statue of Edward Colston, a slave trader and philanthropist, dragging it through the streets, and dumping it in a nearby port. Though arrested for criminal damage, the protesters were feted in popular culture. One woman performing a black power salute inspired a sculptor to create a new statue for Colston’s plinth, which drew widespread media attention when unveiled. When one of the vandals appeared in court, he told the jury, as a reporter characterized it, that Colston’s statue was “like a racist piece of graffiti which the city council had failed to remove.”
