I am Canadian, born in an icy metropolis where the winters are worse than a bad hangover and the summers tease you with false promises. I have the proof of my travels, stamped with poutine grease and hockey bruises. But recently, this country has become a therapy session that has gone wrong, where every flag wave comes with an apology.

OTTAWA – Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali says the federal government hasn’t worked out details of planned public service cuts and efforts to boost the amount of time public servants spend in the office.
Ali said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press the government is still finalizing the workforce adjustment and return-to-office plans.
Hundreds of federal employees have been warned they may lose their jobs as the government moves to shrink the public service, and many departments have told staff news on job cuts will come in the new year.
Carney won’t do anything to antagonize the civil service voting bloc.
If it felt like 2025 was just one big psyop orchestrated by the Democrat Party and its accomplice media stooges, that’s because in many ways, it was.
Learning nothing from the political and ratings beatings they took in 2024, the left and its corporate media allies doubled down on twisting the truth during the first year of Trump 2.0. Here are the top 25 lies of 2025…
“Let Gaza live,” a mob of anti-Israel protesters screamed, brandishing signs falsely accusing the Jewish State of “ethnic cleansing”, “starving Gaza” and genocide while illegally blocking traffic outside the Israeli consulate in Midtown Manhattan.
The only thing more disgusting than the ugly spectacle, which had been timed around a Hamas famine propaganda campaign over the summer, was that one of the hate groups behind the anti-Israel protest, which ended in arrests, was funded by proceeds from Schindler’s List.
Back in July, a Toronto man filed a complaint about antisemitic posts on X. Almost six months later, he’s still waiting for the results of the investigation from Toronto’s Hate Crime Unit. Meanwhile, the antisemitic posts continue. Six months is too long. Six days is too long. Heck, six hours could be too long when it comes to radical extremists.
IT IS the season of peace on earth and goodwill to all. The Holy Land is indeed more tranquil than it’s been for a while, although it’s just one murderous outrage from yet another battle in the series of wars that have continued since the United Nations created the State of Israel.
Then there is Ukraine, now approaching the fifth year of its war with Russia, another conflict where an irresistible force has encountered an immovable object. The search for a solution is as elusive as it is in the Middle East. Until one can be found the body count, destruction and hatred continue to rise.
In June 1976, fortnightly newspaper Gay News featured a now infamous poem, ‘The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name’. It described a Roman soldier making love to Jesus after his crucifixion, accompanied by a sexually explicit illustration. In July the following year, thanks to a legal case brought by conservative activist Mary Whitehouse, Gay News editor Denis Lemon was found guilty of blasphemous libel and handed a suspended prison sentence.
Instead of disarming law-abiding gun owners across Canada, why not offer them the opportunity to enlist in a supplementary reserve by taking an oath of allegiance and registering with a militia regiment at the local armoury?
OTTAWA—The senior leadership of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence are presently scrambling to formulate a plan that would lead to the creation of a Supplementary Reserve.
The projected number of this force of citizen soldiers is to be a whopping 300,000 volunteers. The basic training would be a one-week course, presumably involving some measure of small arms weapon training and basic vehicle driving skills.
According to the initial plan, the Supplementary Reserve would have more lax standards of physical fitness than the regular force and the active reserves. The kicker is that there is no plan to provide these supplementary reservists with uniforms.
Donald Trump gave a nonchalant confirmation of the first US land strike in Venezuela during a radio interview last week that received little attention.
The President said that the Christmas Eve strike was on a facility ‘where the ship comes from’ – seemingly referencing the origination location of the alleged drug vessels that the US military has been targeting in the Caribbean and Atlantic over the last three months.
Speaking on WABC on December 26, Trump made the bombshell suggestion that US forces have already started conducting land operations in Venezuela.
Europhiles often meet national consciousness with incomprehension and disdain. To them, it is a backward-looking and irrational obstacle on the path toward an enlightened and ‘inclusive’ European order. A united Europe, they argue, should have at its core the transcendence of national ideas. However noble, this approach is doomed to fail. Europe’s history shows that its sociopolitical structures are deeply intertwined with national identities, and that political unification requires a shared sense of belonging.
One of Hollywood’s most prized Christmas films, and one of the most wonderful, is being tagged as racist.
Reported by the New York Post, the 1946 Christmas classic, It’s a Wonderful Life, is being dubbed racist by a Carleton University music professor, James Deaville.
There is a push to convince the public that crime is down and that things are not as bad as you think — don’t fall for it. Over the past several weeks, we’ve heard from police, politicians, and even a screaming headline in the Toronto Star, that crime is down and your perception is all wrong.
A Utah judge ordered a secret hearing be made public in the criminal case against Tyler Robinson for allegedly assassinating conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk.
Judge Tony Graf announced during a roughly 20-minute hearing held over video that a transcript for an Oct. 24 closed-door hearing in Robinson’s case will be released with certain redactions by the end of the day Monday. He will also be releasing the audio of that hearing but said it could take two weeks for that to be made public.
OTTAWA — During the Liberals’ Dec. 11 Christmas party just hours after Conservative MP Michael Ma crossed the floor to the government, soirée hosts James Maloney and Mona Fortier joked to ecstatic attendees that their favourite number was “172”.
That’s the minimum number of MPs a party needs to get a simple majority in the House of Commons. With Ma’s crossing, the Liberals suddenly find themselves one seat away from their favourite number.
