For decades, we have been bombarded with climate extremism including predictions that the world would end, the planet would burn up and the human race would be annihilated because of climate change. As time went on and the dire predictions of climate zealots did not come to pass, there has been more well-founded scepticism about […]
Prime Minister Mark Carney spent last month telling the world that Canada is open for investment. The harder question is whether Canada’s own money is. At the Investment Summit last month, the Prime Minister unveiled nearly $500 billion in new commitments and a line built for the cameras. “Canada is building big. Build with us,” […]
British Columbia Premier David Eby, facing an electorate that has soured on his government, particularly after its decision to call a snap election just two years into its four-year mandate, is turning to an aggressive socialist agenda to try to turn his campaign around. For one thing, Eby is proposing to raise income taxes on […]
The public rhetoric is getting a bit tiresome. You know, the same old quote that gets trotted out by our leaders after another act of antisemitism is committed – “antisemitism has no place in our communities…. this is not who we are, etc. etc.” That was the response from four Ontario school boards and three […]
This week saw a stunning announcement that steelmaker Stelco, a Hamilton institution for decades, was indefinitely idling its operations at its Hamilton Work plant. About 350 workers are expected to be laid off, with total layoffs likely to be about 500 between the Hamilton plant and the Nanticoke Stelco plant. This came as a big […]
Pierre Poilievre is not prime minister, but that hasn’t stopped him from changing Canada. Just like Preston Manning did in the 1990s, the Opposition Leader is transforming the country without formally having the seat of power. That may sound counterintuitive, but it is nevertheless true. First, a flashback. The Reform Party captured the Western conservative […]
“I have this vision that someday Canadians come face to face with God and He will be saying, “What did you do with this country that I gave you?’”- Broken Country film MPs have returned to Ottawa and this week they reengaged in fiery rhetoric about the affordability crisis in the country; many questions were […]
Earlier this week, Carney’s Liberal government introduced Bill C-39, the so-called Building Canada Strong Act. All the legislation these days, by both federal and provincial governments, have cutesy titles like this. Back in the day, legislation tended to have boring titles such as Changes to Labour Legislation Act or Budget 1995 Bill. Once a focus […]
Brantford-Brant South Member of Parliament Larry Brock officially resigned on Friday, ending a five-year streak as the riding’s Conservative representative in Ottawa. According to Brock, he intends to return to the office of the Crown prosecutor, a role he had taken a five-year leave from in order to enter politics. Brock’s departure will leave a […]
Perverse politics continue apace in Canada. In our trade “war” – as Prime Minister Carney has named it – with the United States, a major concern that keeps getting identified is Canada’s sovereignty as a nation. This is certainly a legitimate concern, especially in the context of negotiating a trade agreement with the most powerful […]
