Bill-44: The Authoritarian Densification of British Columbia

Canadian Politics / By / Leave a Comment

The B.C. NDP has introduced Bill-44, which if passed later this fall will abolish single-family zoning in all municipalities with more than 5,000 residents. Three to four housing units, in the form of secondary suites, laneway houses, townhomes, triplexes, and house-plexes, will now be permitted on residential single-family lots. This dramatic densification will be accomplished […]

Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

Canada now plays host to 807,750 foreign students, 770,000 temporary workers, and 500,000 new immigrants being admitted annually. As a group, they represent mass immigration. Most of these people settle and are concentrated in a few parts of Canada, nowhere more so than southern Ontario and southern BC. Their numbers are rising annually and the 500,000 new

Is the Environmental Movement Killing Itself with Social Justice?

Environment, Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, PIC made a tweet about sprawl. Twitter, as you likely know, limits the number of characters, including spaces, in a tweet to 280, so one must be terse. The tweet read: “You want to stop sprawl but won’t talk about population growth? Then you’re fixating on a symptom but ignoring the

Canada’s Immigration Policy: Circular Reasoning, Bafflegab, and BS

Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

Crisis? What crisis?  Following the cabinet shuffle in July, Canada’s freshly minted immigration minister, Marc Miller, has repeatedly reiterated that his government is not considering reducing immigration levels despite Canada’s housing crisis. The competition for housing is so intense that house prices have doubled since Miller’s boss, Justin Trudeau, came to power in 2015. The impacts of this

Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

A Nanos poll for the Globe and Mail found that 53% of Canadians want the federal government to accept fewer immigrants than the projected 2023 target of 465,000 permanent residents.

Sky-High Immigration Collides with Reality

Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

It has been said that there are three things that matter in history: numbers, numbers, and numbers. This also applies to immigration policy. Canada’s immigration policy has historically been geared towards addressing specific needs, such as the settling of the prairies by Eastern European immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Immigration has

Canada’s Ideology of Endless Growth

Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

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 Immigration Delirium

Immigration / By / Leave a Comment

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) wrote that social stigma can be stronger than legislative prohibition in suppressing controversial speech. He argued that silencing opinion prevents debate, obstructing society’s search for truth by turning officially sanctioned views into little more than indefensible prejudices. The social stigma around mass immigration is clearly shown by the unwillingness of Canadians
