Recent Canadian legislation increasingly aligns Canada with approaches taken by the European Union (EU). Canadian Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, passed third reading in the House of Commons on March 25. Both the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) have expressed significant concerns regarding the provisions of this bill.
A new report from TD Economics warns that Canada is losing its highest-skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and STEM graduates to the United States through a slow, largely invisible syphoning—calling the phenomenon a “silent brain drain.” The crisis, it argues, is less about who Canada can attract than who it fails to keep.
Much of the outflow never registers in Statistics Canada’s emigration data because it occurs through U.S. employer-sponsored work visas—temporary and semi-permanent pathways that conventional brain drain metrics simply don’t capture. Of the partial data Statistics Canada was able to retrieve, the agency determined that, in 2023, 18,590 Canadian residents emigrated to the U.S. permanently, with 30 percent of those people not being born in Canada.

A former child soldier from Sierra Leone who dodged deportation from Canada for a decade has been sentenced to five months in jail for returning to this country illegally.
Ibrahim Jalloh, a convicted fraudster and drug trafficker, was ordered out of the country in June 2012 for “serious criminality,” but he wasn’t actually deported until Dec. 29, 2023. Jalloh was sentenced earlier this spring in Alberta’s Court of Justice after police found him in Calgary on Dec. 31, 2025, contrary to an order not to return to Canada.
Police say that the investigation into the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl who was missing for nearly two weeks is continuing but that no criminal charges have been laid.
Toronto police provided the update to CP24 on Friday afternoon, less than a day after the girl – named Esther – was located safe by officers at an Etobicoke home.
Police initially told CTV News that the investigation into the disappearance of the girl was concluded, however they now clarify that the case is still being investigated.
A Montrealer with past links to al-Qaida who was arrested last year pleaded guilty on Friday to making terrorist threats, including a claim made at a homeless shelter that he wanted to build bombs to “kill a million people.”
Canada’s economy contracted in the first quarter on an annualized basis by a slim margin, marking the second consecutive quarter of such decline — which some would call a technical recession.
Statistics Canada said real gross domestic product fell 0.1 per cent on an annualized basis in the first three months of this year. That comes after a downwardly revised contraction of one per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Two consecutive quarters of contraction in economic growth is termed a technical recession.
In response to a shocking MAiD case going viral — one Republican candidate running for US senate says the US should stop all trade with Canada until it trashes its euthanasia practice.

On May 18 in Toronto, at a Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) convention, a youth session titled “Visionaries of the Ummah: Youth Activism Lab” encouraged high school and university students to consider how they could help revive the ummah — the global community of Muslims united by faith beyond borders. During the session, Canadian-Egyptian activist Khaled Al-Qazzaz praised the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and at least one person publicly, likely more, shared their desire that the community they work toward be “Jew free.”
Toronto Police announced Thursday afternoon that the 14-year-old girl who vanished May 16 has been located.
The Toronto Sun has learned the Jewish teen was found at a residence in Rexdale in the northwest corner of the city. It’s believe Esther was found with an adult male.
What’s happening in Canada is no longer simply odd, sad, or irrelevant.
It is deeply concerning.
Canada has morphed into a crazed killing factory, one that performs Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) procedures on its own citizens, even those who aren’t facing a terminal illness.
Seriously depressed? Canada will off you. And why wouldn’t Canadians be depressed, as the radicals that have been running — and ruining — the country for decades now have destroyed their economy, made many things unaffordable, and made some large cities almost uninhabitable due to crime from the massive hordes that they have let in from Third World nations.
The president of Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party says he believes that a majority of UCP members will vote against remaining in Canada in a referendum this fall, despite Premier Danielle Smith’s campaign in favour of Confederation.
Rob Smith, who heads the UCP’s board of directors, said the party will not pick a side in the lead-up to the separation vote, in which Albertans will decide if the province should stay in Canada, or if it should start the legal process to hold a second, binding vote on secession.
As an October referendum on the future of Alberta separation looms, new polling finds three in five Albertans say they would vote to stay in Canada, while more than half of Albertans feel Premier Danielle Smith has handled the issue “poorly.”
On Thursday, Smith announced she is planning to put a question on the fall referendum ballot that will ask Albertans if they want the province to remain in Canada or if they want a future binding referendum on separation.
According to a poll from the Angus Reid Institute released Monday, 60 per cent of respondents would vote no to the official referendum question, compared to 35 per cent who would vote yes.
President Donald Trump’s trade war has driven Canadians from Las Vegas. Democrats think it will help them protect their Nevada battleground seats in November.
Last year, as Trump levied tariffs on Canada, visits from Canadians — who account for up to half of Las Vegas’ foreign tourism — dropped off by 17 percent. That played a large role in a 7.5 percent year-over-year decline in total tourist visits, making 2025 the worst non-pandemic year for Las Vegas since the city started tracking data in 1970. Now, as peak tourism season arrives in a battleground state where Republicans’ control of the House could be won or lost, Democrats are pushing voters to see the tourism slump as a direct impact of Trump’s levies.

Canada is quietly falling victim to “brain drain,” a trend marked by the ever-increasing exodus of well-educated young professionals to other countries, particularly the United States, a new report suggests.
Canada has a strong record of educating and training globally competitive workers and entrepreneurs, but struggles to retain them because of higher personal and business taxes as well as a lack of venture capital for startups compared to the United States, according to a new report by TD Economics titled, “Canada’s Silent Brain Drain.”
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Alberta separatists who think a referendum will provide the province more leverage are risking a “very dangerous bluff” and argued that it is “not helpful” to ask people to vote over secession.
Speaking to reporters from a residential construction site in Ottawa, Carney had a stark warning for Albertans ahead of Smith’s referendum question on provincial sovereignty in the fall: be wary of what you’re voting for.
