At 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, the results of the by-election in the Toronto St-Paul riding were announced. Conservative candidate Don Stewart had won by 1.6%, a major breakthrough in a riding in which the Tories have not been competitive since the ‘80s. There is now a spot of blue smack dab in the middle […]

We live in an era where everybody is adamant about their rights, particularly their human rights as citizens. Nobody wants to be a second-class citizen, and it is one of the major areas of progress in the last hundred years that we have a Charter of Rights in Canada – and long before that had

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

The mission of universities has always been the passing on and expansion of human knowledge, which has made universities contribute much to the historic growth in Canadian and world income. This traditional mission is now threatened by policies designed and enforced by many employees that were recently hired by Canadian universities to work in offices

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
Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life. Andrew Lawton. Sutherland House, 2024. As my long-time readers are aware of, I have found much to criticize in Pierre Poilievre – particularly on some of his more unhinged policies (like bribing cities to build apartments above transit stations) and his skittishness around the immigration issue. This article is not about

DEI, wokeness, critical race theory, systemic racism, intersectionality and cultural appropriation. Ten or twenty years ago, most of these terms were unknown, and some only existed inside academia or very limited circles of left-wing intellectuals. Identity politics has since come to the fore. Before the millenium, just about the only term that was in common
