Canada’s top-skilled workers are leaving for the U.S. in droves for lower taxes and higher pay: TD study

new report from TD Economics warns that Canada is losing its highest-skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and STEM graduates to the United States through a slow, largely invisible syphoning—calling the phenomenon a “silent brain drain.” The crisis, it argues, is less about who Canada can attract than who it fails to keep.

Much of the outflow never registers in Statistics Canada’s emigration data because it occurs through U.S. employer-sponsored work visas—temporary and semi-permanent pathways that conventional brain drain metrics simply don’t capture. Of the partial data Statistics Canada was able to retrieve, the agency determined that, in 2023, 18,590 Canadian residents emigrated to the U.S. permanently, with 30 percent of those people not being born in Canada.

Trump’s Border Triumph

Trump’s Border Triumph

The establishment political consensus has long held that it’s impossible to rein in illegal immigration until Congress passes “comprehensive immigration reform.” The Congressional Budget Office has recently made clear that all it really takes is a president willing to enforce federal immigration laws, as he is constitutionally required to do.

The CBO recently revised its estimates concerning the number of illegal aliens entering or leaving the United States. More than a year ago, just before Inauguration Day, the CBO estimated that a net 1.1 million “other foreign nationals”—those lacking “a legal immigration status”—would be added to the U.S. population in 2025. Now the CBO has revised that estimate downward by a whopping 1.5 million illegal aliens—from an increase of 1.1 million to a decrease of 360,000. This downward revision of 1.5 million people is equivalent to the population of San Antonio.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s War to Destroy the United States from Within: Part I

In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned that “the spread of Islamist ideology, in some cases led by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood” poses a threat as it seeks to establish “an Islamist caliphate which governs based on Sharia.” Gabbard went on to say that “there are increasing examples of this in various European countries.”

Minnesota pair bilked $21 million in state funds meant for autism services: feds

Two Minnesota fraudsters allegedly swindled more than $21 million in funding earmarked for autism services through two bogus companies and then spent it lavishly on overseas property, officials said.

Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, whose mugshots were released on Wednesday, made off like bandits by submitting millions of dollars in fake claims to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention Program [EIDBI] between May 2020 and December 2024, authorities said.

A Reagan Republican’s Son, Xi Jinping’s Speechwriter, and a New Map of China’s Espionage and Information Wars

WASHINGTON — In 2017, as Donald Trump launched a campaign to decouple the United States from a system of economic entanglement with China that a generation of American officials had come to see as quietly corroding the nation’s security and wealth, the son of a Texas Republican was living in Beijing under a borrowed name — and, that year, was introduced to a man who, he came to understand, communicated frequently with Xi Jinping himself.

Cuba Falling: Desperate Times Call for Desperately Attacking Rubio

Cuba Falling: Desperate Times Call for Desperately Attacking Rubio

You know they’re in desperate times when the Cuban regime starts sending its mouthy representatives to do interviews on Fox News of all places, hoping to reshape the narrative.

The country’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez — and arguably the regime’s slickest mouthpiece — did just that earlier this week, and he went straight after his favorite punching bag: our dear Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

John Ivison: Poilievre may prove shrewd to back America’s alliance as Carney embraces Europe

The United States has informed its European allies of its plan to significantly cut its military contribution to NATO, the German news outlet Spiegel reported on Tuesday.

The Europeans are scuttling to fill the gaps that will be left by departing American warships and fighter jets.

But the ripple effects may be felt far beyond Eastern Europe.

Canada morphing from good neighbor to serious threat?

Canada morphing from good neighbor to serious threat?

What’s happening in Canada is no longer simply odd, sad, or irrelevant.

It is deeply concerning.

Canada has morphed into a crazed killing factory, one that performs Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) procedures on its own citizens, even those who aren’t facing a terminal illness.

Seriously depressed? Canada will off you. And why wouldn’t Canadians be depressed, as the radicals that have been running — and ruining — the country for decades now have destroyed their economy, made many things unaffordable, and made some large cities almost uninhabitable due to crime from the massive hordes that they have let in from Third World nations.

US planning to halt immigration at ‘sanctuary city’ airports

US planning to halt immigration at ‘sanctuary city’ airports

The Trump administration is “drawing up plans” to halt immigration and customs processing at so-called “sanctuary cities,” US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has said.

The cities, which are all run by Democrats, have refused to work with the White House in its crackdown on irregular immigration.

The plans would essentially halt all international passenger and cargo arrivals at major airports in Democratic-run states.

While Xi and Putin Argue Over Pipeline, U.S. Keeps Chokehold on China’s Energy

Vladimir Putin wrapped up his summit in Beijing with Xi Jinping on May 20, the Russian leader’s 25th visit to China.

Putin walked away with more than 40 agreements, but he did not leave with the prize he has long sought.

As an initial matter, forget about the pacts that were inked. “When you look at all the ‘agreements,’ they are only memoranda of understanding,” Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, said to Gatestone. “In other words, they are merely invitations to talk more.”

The Islamic Center of San Diego’s Jihadist Legacy

The Islamic Center of San Diego’s Jihadist Legacy

The deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD), a.k.a. Masjid Abu Bakr, has once again placed the mosque in the national spotlight. Authorities say the attack, which left three people dead, is being investigated as a ‘hate crime.’ The incident unsettled the San Diego community and prompted widespread condemnation from public officials and religious leaders alike.

But while the recent violence has generated sympathy and headlines, ICSD has long carried a controversial history that stretches back decades – including connections to 9/11 hijackers, terrorist financiers, and radical figures tied to some of the deadliest acts of terrorism ever committed on American soil.

Trump’s secret NATO ultimatum sparks panic as US ‘pulls jets, bombers and EVERY submarine from Europe’

Donald Trump is set to slash the arsenal of US fighter jets, warships and submarines reserved for NATO allies should a military crisis erupt in Europe.

A military envoy sent by Pete Hegseth blindsided senior NATO officials in a classified Brussels briefing late last week, revealing US firepower committed to defending Europe will significantly decline, Der Spiegel and Reuters reported.

The US fighter jet commitment to NATO is to be slashed by a third, while the Navy will withdraw destroyers from the alliance’s pool.

Privy Council report finds Canadians doubt Carney can end U.S. tariffs

Privy Council report finds Canadians doubt Carney can end U.S. tariffs

Canadians increasingly believe U.S. tariffs are here to stay despite repeated promises from Prime Minister Mark Carney that Ottawa can negotiate a better trade deal with Washington, according to newly released Privy Council research.

Blacklock’s Reporter says federal focus groups found little confidence the Liberal government would succeed in convincing the United States to eliminate tariffs on Canadian goods, with many participants saying the measures are now a permanent part of American economic policy.


I get the feeling that the LPC and their media are running a psyop attempting to convince Canadians they are upbeat about the future.

Record insolvencies, youth fleeing for the US where unlike Canada they have a shot at owning a home and building a future, a growing number of households with food and rent exceeding monthly income, criminal governance by a business and political elite that have used mass immigration for their own monetary gain and agendas, foreign criminals waltzing into our nation and receiving a slap on the wrist for their crimes so their immigration status isn’t compromised.

I could go on.

There is a reason the LPC wants to limit free speech.
