The other immigration problem: Too much talent is leaving Canada

Surging immigration numbers are top-of-mind for Canadians. But as we reconsider targets for newcomers and address pain points such as housing, we also need to pay attention to talent retention.

Tens of thousands of people leave Canada every year, many of them talented and entrepreneurial people we will miss. Importantly, a significant fraction are themselves immigrants, which may mean we are missing an opportunity to boost Canada’s long-term growth and prosperity.

Who wants to stay in Trudeau’s Canada?

Randall Denley: A $14B victory for pampered public sector workers over Ontario taxpayers

What a triumph for the oppressed workers of the Ontario public sector. The PC government’s 2019 wage restraint bill was ruled unconstitutional this week by the Ontario Court of Appeal. After some token grumbling, Premier Doug Ford has begun to dismantle the legislation, deciding not to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.

A prominent surgeon stated that the complications from vaginoplastic surgery that aims at removing male genitals and creating a vagina ‘can be pretty bad” and noted that there was “a growing number of programs throughout the world of gender affirmation, probably with a lack of training and not proper training,” according to the video of a presentation that the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained through a public records request.

Disney Sued for Illegal Discrimination in Casting Rules that Mandate 50 Percent of Characters Must Come From ‘Underrepresented Groups’

The Walt Disney Company is being sued by America First Legal, the conservative legal group led by President Trump’s longtime adviser Stephen Miller, for illegally discriminating on the basis of race and sex in its casting decisions as well as in its internal company practices.

The group obtained internal company documents outlining Disney’s “inclusion standards,” which appear to impose racial quotas for its on screen characters, mandating that 50 percent of regular and recurring characters and actors must come from “Underrepresented Groups.”

More Cows Needed to Reverse Climate Change, Experts Say

In a little-noticed presentation on Dec. 9, 2023, at COP28 in Dubai, a panel of soil experts presented the case for cows as climate allies, not gas-spewing destroyers. The event, titled “Conscious Livestock Rearing and Soil Health,” discussed “animal rearing’s impact on soil health, and its place as a part of the climate solution.” Contrary to the anti-cow cacophony of the climate crisis crowd, these experts explained the vital role ruminants like cows play in nourishing and rebuilding precious soils. It turns out, grazing cows sequester massive amounts of carbon.

Illegals Nation: A ‘great replacement’ beginning to unfold?

Up until now, I’d always thought the ‘great replacement’ theory to remove the current Western electorate and replace them with third-world illegal migrants was some nutty fringe-right conspiracy theory.

The idea has been roundly denounced by the establishment as racist, although the French novelist who invented the theory in 2011, Renaud Camus, insisted that his theory was about civilizational values, not skin color.

These days, based on how the migrant crisis is unfolding in a couple of developments, it’s possible to wonder.

When Gaza came to Rochdale: Inside the nastiest by-election in modern history

“From the river to the sea,” the familiar-hatted figure roars. “Palestine will be free,” his supporters chant in unison. George Galloway is conducting his followers like a religious cleric. “In our thousands, in our millions,” the high-priest cries. “We are all Palestinian,” they respond.

It is rare these days for a foreign issue to be so central to a British political campaign: two by-elections being fought this week — in Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, and in Kingswood near Bristol — will be decided by the economy and other domestic concerns. The battle for Rochdale, which will be fought at the end of this month, is the exception.

Canada’s iconic Mounties are mocked for asking children aged 17 and up ‘who identify as women’ to apply for internships at the police force

Canada’s Mounties have been mocked for trying to convince children who ‘identify as women’ to apply for an internship with the police force.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police posted an advertisement for the force’s ‘student employment opportunity,’ which is aimed at grade 11 high school students.

Unveiled on X, the recruitment drive specifically targeted those who identify as female – saying ‘We’re looking for high school students in grade 11 who identify as women.’

Yet another embarassment goes viral.

For the first time in my life, I’m now beginning to think Britain is finished

The country’s self-image as tolerant, decent and hard-working is being smashed. It’s only going to get worse

Britain’s decline over the past 25 years has been staggeringly rapid. Almost everything is getting worse, and almost nothing is getting better. Our public and private institutions are broken, presided over by an incompetent, selfish and narcissistic ruling class. Living standards, when adjusted properly for living and property costs, are declining.

Even the simplest things don’t work any longer. Queuing, scarcity and congestion are rife, our infrastructure is embarrassingly poor, and the honest and hardworking face endless bureaucratic battles to obtain what they are due. Free riding, crime, disorder, fraud, littering and generalised rule-bending are rife, and all too often tolerated by apathetic citizens and an indifferent state. Britain’s residual virtues, our individualism, independence of mind, tolerance and openness, uniquely appealing features of our national character, are fading.

Read this and sub Canada for Britain.

Jesse Kline: Amira Elghawaby defends antisemitic protest in front of Toronto hospital

It’s hard to imagine Monday’s rally outside Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital — in which pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked the entrance, held signs glorifying terrorists and chanted in support of committing violence against Israelis — endearing anyone to the Palestinian cause. But it seems to have worked on Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s Islamophobia czar, who used the opportunity to excuse the protesters’ reprehensible actions and opine on geopolitical issues.

Toronto Star VP says mainstream media must be permanently funded lest ‘pseudo-journalists’ take over

A Toronto Star executive and former Liberal staffer Ryan Adam has called for permanent funding for the mainstream media from Big Tech companies lest so-called “pseudo-journalists” take over the profession.

During a panel discussion with the U.S. group Ethnic Media Services, Adam claimed that the government must force Big Tech companies to fund media outlets or independent media will dominate the industry.

Some members of Parliament, ministers assigned police protection as security tightens

OTTAWA – A Conservative MP whose Toronto office was vandalized this week is among several federal politicians under visible police protection on Parliament Hill.

Melissa Lantsman’s Thornhill office was plastered with anti-Israel posters overnight, including one warning “the Jews of Thornhill” that history is watching how they respond to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

A Conservative official confirms that the deputy Conservative leader has RCMP protection, but has not said why.

Damn Baptists!
