Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s push to increase immigration to unprecedented levels is damaging Canada’s health-care system.
The numbers reveal the problem. Last year, Canada welcomed 492,984 new immigrants, all of whom will eventually be issued health cards, entitling them to medical benefits for life. This year, another 465,000 immigrants are set to arrive, plus another 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025.
Multiple ministers are being dropped from federal cabinet in a shuffle expected to take place Wednesday, sources tell CBC News.
Those senior government sources say the shuffle is intended to put the focus on the government’s economic priorities and shore up the cabinet ahead of the next federal election campaign. The government also wants to put key communicators on important files.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called ministers back to Ottawa for meetings on Monday and Tuesday, said sources with knowledge of the shuffle who are not authorized to speak publicly.
Assuming a few relatively sane liberals exist then this may signal Junior’s effort to clean house of dissenters.

It will trash the brand. It will alienate its core users. And relaunching and rebranding a failing business almost never works. As Elon Musk drops the Twitter blue bird and swaps it for an X, we will hear plenty of arguments about why the world’s second richest man has made another critical commercial mistake. In fairness, some of them have a point. Yet Musk’s critics are making a mistake by missing the real purpose of the new name. X only exists to kill off Twitter.
In a state of anxiety and feeling trapped, the European Union has chosen “decoupling” and “de-risking” instead of connecting to the world, thereby losing its global competitiveness, according to the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, who gave a speech on Saturday, July 22, at Tusványos, a conservative political gathering in Transylvania.
As with every speech he has made in the past at the Tusványos Summer University in Băile Tușnad, Romania, Viktor Orbán once again reflected on the most important geopolitical trends, European current affairs, and their impact on Hungary. He believes the EU is “rich and weak,” and it is isolating itself in a world with many uncertainties, in which the balance of power has tilted. To underline his message, the prime minister cited the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) report, which forecasts that neither the United Kingdom nor France or Italy will be among the world’s ten largest economies by 2030, while Germany will drop to tenth place.
Retail crime is driven by reduced penalties and organized gangs, not economic hardship.
A recent video on Twitter showed a supermarket employee tussling with a shoplifter who had filled her bag with items. As the employee pulled the bag from her hand, she cried, “I have to feed my family!” That’s a common refrain from shoplifters these days, echoed in media headlines proclaiming that people have turned to stealing to put food on the table—despite a U.S. social safety net that includes $185 billion in spending on food stamps and other nutrition-assistance programs. In truth, America’s exploding shoplifting problem predates our current economic difficulties. Much of the stealing, store owners and security experts say, has less to do with putting food on the table than with a rise in organized theft, and it’s having a particularly adverse effect in cities where criminal-justice reforms have made it easy to get away with.
Investigators uncovered a massive walk-in vault — but no soundproof room — during their ongoing search of suspected Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann’s Long Island property, police said Monday.
Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison called the 12-day search of Heuermann’s Massapequa Park property “fruitful,” saying he hoped cops will be able to wind down their work either Tuesday or later in the week.
This month, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported that the Shanghai-based Polar Research Institute of China revealed that “China has completed the field testing and evaluation of an underwater listening device that will be deployed on a large scale in the Arctic Ocean.”
The innocuous-sounding report tells us that China intends to wage war against the United States and Canada from the Arctic.
Approximately 200 Muslim protestors gathered outside the European Parliament Wednesday, July 19th, as Islamic groups in Brussels rallied against the controversial burning of the Quran in Sweden.
Shouts of “Allahu Akbar” were heard right outside the Parliament as an almost exclusively male crowd gathered at Place du Luxembourg at 4:00 p.m. organised by a group calling itself the ‘Muslim Community of Brussels.’
After decades of helping low-income Canadians get into homes, Habitat for Humanity is witnessing a profound change in who it is assisting.
The charity is increasingly backstopping mortgage loans for higher-income households, including those earning about $100,000 a year, in yet another sign of how unaffordable Canada has become.
Did this weekend’s box office smash, Barbie, break the box office curse of Get Woke, Go Broke?
Well, let’s hope so! Seriously, let’s hope Hollywood believes woke sells and starts producing more woke movies because watching these movies flop is much more entertaining than anything Hollywood’s produced in years.
OTTAWA — The federal government has bluntly rebuffed new Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s call for more money.
Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister and finance minister, fired off a letter Monday morning to Chow’s office after the mayor and Premier Doug Ford demanded that Ottawa foot the bill to resolve a crisis in refugee housing.
The return of Iran’s infamous Gasht-e-Irshad (“morality police”) has been greeted with dismay, but protesters who spoke to the Guardian said they would not be dissuaded from taking to streets again.
A police spokesperson confirmed last week that they had started patrolling the streets to deal with civilians who “ignore the consequences of not wearing the proper hijab and insist on disobeying the norms”.
An Ontario principals’ group says it is concerned about the safety of staff from bullying and harassment following the recent death of an administrator who had filed a lawsuit against the Toronto District School Board for failing to protect him after a confrontation during a diversity training session.
Richard Bilkszto retired as a principal from the school board in 2019 after more than two decades, but continued to work on a contract basis. His lawyer, Lisa Bildy, said he died by suicide earlier this month.
The leader of Norway’s far-left Red Party Bjørnar Moxnes resigned on Monday after being caught stealing designer sunglasses from a shop at Oslo airport.
