Population growth from mass immigration is leading to a corresponding mass densification of many of Canada’s neighbourhoods, as all levels of government scramble to build housing. The YIMBY (“Yes In My Back Yard”) movement – whose adherents effectively function as the shock troops of the development industry – has mobilized immense effort to persuade Canadians

A political quagmire was created when Conservative MP Michael Ma crossed the floor to the Liberal Party on December 11th. This follows the earlier defection of Chris d’Entremont back in November.

Do you remember when Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister? We mostly remember him now for the introduction of GST, and those little pins that everyone would wear to protest against it. But there is a part of Mulroney’s legacy that is rather overlooked in the public retrospect of Canadian history, and that is his continentalism.
