You know the economy is bad when politicians start needing a side hustle to get by. Over the past few weeks, Canadians have watched a growing number of MPs test the boundaries of what it means to serve full-time in public office, and in doing so, expose how thin and outdated our ethics rules really […]
Recent developments in Venezuela and Iran could lead to a very new set of circumstances for the Canadian oil and gas sector. On the other hand, it might not. Economists are famous for saying “on the one hand, on the other hand…” and failing to take a stand on an issue as a result. The […]
We have reached that mid-January slump where the goals for the new year start to waiver, and reality slowly starts to creep in for the masses. Meanwhile, those who attempted to make bold political predictions are almost certainly reneging on comments made about how Canada can best steer its economic ship in the weeks and […]
Canadian government-subsidized legacy media has been overworked in the first week of the new year broadcasting Prime Minister Mark Carney’s additional $2.5 billion to the Ukraine war effort, the “kidnapping” of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro by the Americans, the photo ops of Carney’s trip to France, and his closed-door meetings with European Union officials on the […]
To gain a majority government, Prime Minister Mark Carney only needs one more Member of Parliament to defect to the Liberals. Unfortunately for him, his political gamesmanship is doing nothing to help the economy and is alienating his base. This could be the year the Liberals lose power.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faces a year of major tests in 2026.

According to Federal Director Franco Terrazzano, this year’s suite of federal tax changes will result in a mixed bag for most taxpayers. “There’s […]
A review of the main events of 2025 provides more of a lesson of what not to do than anything else. Now that the evidence of how badly our country has been run under the Liberals for the last 10 years has become crystal clear, Liberals are finally admitting how much their past initiatives were […]
If there was ever a word that captured how people actually felt about artificial intelligence this year, it was slop. Merriam-Webster’s human editors named it the 2025 Word of the Year, defining it as low-quality digital content produced at scale by AI. Four letters that neatly summed up the year. AI was everywhere. Impossible to […]
The constantly changing landscape of Canadian politics means that one week can produce wildly different headlines, social media posts, and polling results from the next.
