I recently published the lengthiest report in English Canada on the Century Initiative (available on my website, dominionreview.ca). This lobby group, which has been influential in the Trudeau government, seeks to increase Canada’s population to 100 million by 2100 through mass immigration. The Century Initiative’s goal could only find fertile ground in a country whose

Canada’s Housing Crisis: Who’s Running the Show – and for Whom?
