Another day, another op-ed in a major newspaper criticizing the Trudeau government’s immigration policy. Even just a year ago, such pieces were few and far between. It turns out there’s nothing like raising immigration to a net annual rate of 1.273 million to blow wind into the sails of the immigration restriction movement. Before I […]

While carrying on the west coast farmer’s interminable crusade against the scourge of the Himalayan blackberry, I listened to a radio call-in show on the recent announcement that average monthly rent in Canada has soared to $2,200 – a new record. One by one, callers described the harrowing, stressful housing situations in which they find

It turns out that mayors and town councils don’t love the idea of zoning control being unilaterally transferred to Victoria with minimal or no consultation. Who could have guessed? Bill 44, which abolishes single-family zoning and bans rezoning hearings in all B.C. municipalities of more than 5,000 residents, goes into effect at the end of

Canada’s population grew by 825,000 in 2022, and then by 1.2 million in 2023, because of mass immigration. To find another year when our population grew by more than 600,000, you have to go back to 1949 – and that’s only because Newfoundland joined Confederation! With 68% of native-born Canadians and 62% of immigrants telling
There is nowhere in Canada where you can escape the effects of mass immigration into our country. Everything has become more expensive as an explosion in population creates an explosion in demand for goods and services, our social services are crumbling under the pressure of wave after wave of migrants, and our cities have become

Nearly all Canadians will agree that Canada is in the middle of a housing crisis. We are not alone in this, with the US, Australia, New Zealand, and even the UK also experiencing problems with housing affordability. The conventional wisdom from YIMBYs, our media, and politicians is that this is only a matter of lack

Walking through the charming historic town of Ladysmith, I spied a pamphlet declaring that “Canadian pensions are too low!”. I was shocked to learn that the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP), Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), and Old Age Security (OAS) add up to a paltry $18,000 to $20,000 per year. This pocket literature was created by

Brampton, Ontario, is a particularly striking example of the demographic changes brought about by large-scale immigration to Canada in the past several decades. Once a quiet town with a strong English heritage (hence its name), it is now a bustling city of 656,000 people – 52% of whom are South Asian. Brampton’s major ethnic shifts
