Canada’s global performance rankings are in freefall

There is an ongoing debate over whether Canada is doing better economically than Alabama, based on their relative GDP per capita, with many on the Canadian Left arguing that our country’s economic performance and quality of life look much better when other factors are taken into account.

Unfortunately, this argument misses the mark. When we expand our comparisons beyond Alabama, it quickly becomes apparent that GDP per capita is, if anything, overstating the relative state of our economy and wellbeing relative to our global peers.

The Greens’ shameless embrace of Islamic sectarianism

Appealing almost solely to Muslim voters might seem like a strange way for a major party to go about winning a by-election in Manchester. Producing adverts in Urdu, the native language of Pakistan, might be considered even odder. Yet, to prove that nothing is too strange for British politics in 2026, that is exactly what the Green Party has done in a recent campaign video.

Indigenous Ontario killer swaps life sentence for one at ‘the very low end of the range’

An Indigenous Ontario man has swapped a life sentence for 12 years in prison for killing a disabled drug dealer.

Kenneth Morrison was convicted of first-degree murder for his role in the July 7, 2018, home invasion in Kitchener, Ont., that left Shaun Yorke, 46, dead with a bullet in his chest. Morrison and an accomplice were both sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. But Morrison successfully appealed his case to Ontario’s top court, which set aside his murder conviction, substituted a conviction for manslaughter, and sentenced him again.
