CURRIER: Canada lost track of 1 million people – and still has no plan

Immigration. That very word can spark a heated debate in Canada, and it frequently does. While it’s clear that Canada as a nation was built on immigration following early colonization, it has always remained a point of controversy. How many people should we allow in? Where should they come from? What is the criteria for allowing an immigrant to Canada and where will they live?

Taking out the garbage in Minnesota

President Trump has had enough. A majority of Americans have had enough of Ilhan Omar’s ingratitude.

So last week, Trump minced no words. He came straight out and called her “garbage,” and then called “her friends” also garbage.

No doubt he was referring to her fellow Somalis out there in Minneapolis who number at around 100,000, and do nothing “but complain,” according to Trump.

The Andrew debacle has blown open the royal coffers for all to see

If you’ve ever dramatically broken up with an ex, only to find, to your miserable disbelief, that they keep popping up in the most inconvenient circumstances, you may feel a degree of sympathy with the royals as regards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. A few weeks after he was stripped of his titles and ordered to leave Royal Lodge, he may now be the Andrew formerly known as Prince, but he shows no signs of wishing to leave his Windsor grace-and-favour home. By the terms of his (remarkably generous) lease, he is entitled to twelve months’ notice before departing. As one of his few remaining friends told the Times, ‘It’s really rather sad, but if it’s a case of who will blink first, then Andrew is going to dig in. He ain’t going anywhere.’


I wonder how long a white monarchy will last in a kingdom whose “subjects” hate white people?

Barbara Kay: The ‘Great Feminization’ is eating Jewish institutions alive

In September, public intellectual Helen Andrews caused a stir when she delivered a provocative 17-minute speech, titled “Overcoming the Feminization of Culture,” to the National Conservatism Conference, later published as an article for Compact, titled “The Great Feminization.”

Andrews summarized feminization as the prioritizing of feminine over masculine interests, but additionally prioritizing “empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition.” All these traits combine, she believes, in institutions where females are numerically dominant, to define “wokeness” and “cancel culture.”

Make Money Not War

Trump to host two African leaders! That was a footnote to world news last week still dominated by efforts to stop the Ukraine war.

However, to those who follow African affairs, the triangular meeting at the White House looked like a miracle.

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame seemed determined to end a decades-long war that, despite claiming at least as many victims as the current war in Ukraine or the recent war in Gaza, never hit global headlines.

Upcoming Tory Motion Will Test Liberals’ Internal Division on Pipeline MOU

The Conservatives say they will table a motion in the House of Commons next week asking whether MPs support an oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast and any “appropriate adjustment” to the oil tanker ban on B.C.’s north coast.

“We need a new pipeline to the pacific,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre posted on X Dec. 5. “Bring home jobs. Put Canada First.”

Britain’s nuclear submarine fleet ‘no longer fit for purpose’

Britain is “no longer capable” of running a nuclear submarine programme after “catastrophic” failures pushed it to the brink, a former Navy chief has said.

In an extraordinary critique, Rear Admiral Philip Mathias said the UK’s “silent service” was facing an “unprecedented” situation from which it was highly unlikely to recover without radical intervention.

The former director of nuclear policy at the Ministry of Defence said delays in building new attack boats had reached record levels, while the duration of patrols for crews in nuclear-armed submarines had been driven up from 70 days during the Cold War to more than 200 days now.

Can Canadian oil producers afford the deal Mark Carney made with Alberta?

OTTAWA — The energy industry will have to bear significant costs to fulfill Alberta’s pipeline and carbon-capture deal with Ottawa, all while oil prices are at a five-year low.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney, envisions the construction of one or more “private sector constructed and financed pipelines,” as well as the Pathways carbon-capture project. The combined cost of those projects is likely to be more than $50 billion. They would also only be the first step, as filling the million-barrels-per-day pipeline, along with other proposed pipeline expansions, would require new oilsands facilities costing tens of billions of dollars.


Carney’s Indians will stop any new pipelines.
