Joel Kotkin: Immigration alone won’t solve Canada’s population decline

Joel Kotkin: Immigration alone won’t solve Canada’s population decline

This year, Canada’s population decreased, the first time since Confederation 160 years ago.

The reasons vary, but include a reduction in mass immigration, a very low birthrate and a stagnant economy sending ambitious Canadians to — horror of horrors! — the brutal nation just to the south.


That decrease is smoke and mirrors. The Liberals continue to import replacement migrants.

Britain’s first halal-only student halls for Muslim men sparks ‘segregation’ outrage

Britain’s first halal-only student accommodation is due to open in Dundee to ‘cater for Muslim students’ at the city’s universities.

Rose House has 20 rooms exclusively for male students, with alcohol banned and only halal food permitted on site.

The accommodation, the first of its kind, is ‘designed’ for Muslim students – although bosses say they welcome students of all faiths and none.

Trump says he doesn’t care about CUSMA as Dominic LeBlanc returns to D.C. for trade talks

Trump says he doesn’t care about CUSMA as Dominic LeBlanc returns to D.C. for trade talks

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is back in Washington this week where he’s continuing his search for a breakthrough in trade negotiations with the U.S. administration.

LeBlanc’s office confirmed to CBC News that chief trade negotiator to the U.S. Janice Charette is with the minister as they try to hammer out a deal.

That task continues to look challenging as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to claim he doesn’t care about reviewing the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) or striking a broader deal with his northern and southern neighbours.

Berlin Terror Suspect Was Under Surveillance Until an Hour Before Attack

New details emerging from the investigation into Saturday’s terrorist attack in Berlin suggest the German authorities failed to prevent the massacre despite numerous warning signs and weeks of monitoring the attacker.

RFK Jr. Reveals the COVID Vaccine Secret That Fauci Hid From Americans

RFK Jr. Reveals the COVID Vaccine Secret That Fauci Hid From Americans

For years, Dr. Anthony Fauci assured Americans that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective. What he never mentioned, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is that he may have suffered one of those “rare” adverse events himself, and he hid it from the country while publicly insisting such injuries weren’t happening.

VDH on Fauci – very good listen.

The Spy Island Next Door

The Spy Island Next Door

The Cold War did not end in Cuba so much as change patrons, technologies, and uniforms. The enormous Soviet listening station at Lourdes was closed more than two decades ago, but the infrastructure, trained personnel, intelligence culture, and geographic advantages that made the island valuable to Moscow survived under the control of a communist dictatorship that has now placed Cuban territory and technical capabilities at the service of the People’s Republic of China.

Jews Are Leaving Canada in Droves

Jews Are Leaving Canada in Droves

Gad Saad has lived in Canada since his family fled Lebanon in 1975 after someone showed up at their home to kill them. But last month, the professor of marketing and evolutionary behavioral sciences announced on social media that he had given up on Canada and decided to leave.

“The taxation system is astounding, rendering it nearly impossible to accumulate enough money to truly retire,” Saad wrote about the first reason for his decision. It’s true. The typical Canadian pays 70 percent more in income taxes than the typical American. The second reason is far more alarming. “The government’s open immigration policies have made it unsafe for my family to remain here (due to the exponential increase in Jew-hatred),” he wrote.

Are Autonomous Cars More Dangerous Than Uber Drivers?

Are Autonomous Cars More Dangerous Than Uber Drivers?

New York’s public transit advocacy community has launched a new attack against robotaxis. A recently published report from Open Plans and the Sam Schwartz Transportation Program leads with an alarming claim: Waymo vehicles, they assert, “have a significantly higher rate of crashes with a serious injury or fatality than the existing New York City for-hire fleet.”

The full report largely concedes the point that robotaxis are safer than the typical human driver (an earlier point of debate) and instead focuses on the comparison with for-hire services like Uber, Lyft, and yellow taxis. Concern about the impact on jobs in this sector is the main reason that autonomous vehicles remain illegal in New York.

Touched in the head Liberal Sports Minister thinks men should be allowed to compete in women’s sports

OTTAWA — Canada’s top federal sports official says he’s “concerned” about new eligibility rules limiting Olympic women’s events to biological females, but says the changes are unlikely to stop Canada from trying to host the Olympics in the future.

Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden told reporters in Calgary on Monday that he was worried about the International Olympic Committee’s plan to roll out mandatory genetic screening for all athletes competing in the female category.
