Mark Milke: DEI has made society more racist

Mark Milke: DEI has made society more racist

If there’s a buzzword that’s captured corporate Canada, government and academia over the past decade, it’s “diversity.” When patched together with “equity” and “inclusion,” or DEI for short, it’s assumed to be excellent policy that’s anchored in fairness and equality. For its proponents, it is seen as an extension of civil rights movements that began in the 1950s in Canada and the United States.

But nice-sounding words are not enough when it comes to treating people as equal in law and policy, or building a flourishing country with equal opportunity for all.

Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood

A row has broken out in one of Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhoods over plans to use an AI-powered surveillance system to create the country’s first “virtual gated community” to combat surging property crime.

Crime rates in Toronto as a whole are dropping but residents of Rosedale have been left on edge by a sustained rise in home invasions, with robbers targeting the tree-lined neighbourhood at a rate more than double the city average. Break-ins and thefts remain the third highest per capita in Toronto.

Shaken by break-ins, an affluent Toronto neighbourhood takes action

The squad of private security cars fans out after nightfall, their little rooftop lights flashing yellow against the historic homes and manicured hedges of Rosedale. Their drivers patrol the streets slowly, stopping to inspect parked cars and following any suspicious drivers.

Other unmarked security vehicles idle nearby, their drivers wearing bulletproof vests under their shirts, ready to respond to break-ins in six minutes or less.

Inside those graceful homes, residents have prepared crude fortifications: door braces, newly installed alarms, hammer-proof glass.

How Canadian military members violated intelligence-gathering rules during COVID-19

How Canadian military members violated intelligence-gathering rules during COVID-19

Canadian Armed Forces members used their own personal social media accounts, computers and networks at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and gathered information about Canadians, violating intelligence-gathering rules, according to a newly released report.

The internal military report obtained by CBC News provides a new look behind the scenes at how a controversial military operation went so wrong.

“Everything you could imagine in a military operation went wrong in this case,” said national security expert Wesley Wark.

Frankie Champers recuses himself from Ottawa’s high-speed rail grift

OTTAWA — Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has been unable to participate in decisions related to the federal government’s proposed high-speed rail line after setting up an ethics screen last year due to his partner’s ties to the Crown corporation behind the project.

The screen means the finance minister has had to recuse himself from all discussions related to the Alto proposal for an electric rail line between Toronto and Quebec City — which the Carney government considers “transformative” — because his partner, Anne-Marie Gaudet, became the Crown corporation’s vice-president of environment last August.

Jamie Sarkonak: Bill C-3, the Liberal gateway to making Canada the 51st state

Jamie Sarkonak: Bill C-3, the Liberal gateway to making Canada the 51st state

In December, the Liberals extended Canadian citizenship to everyone in the world over the age of three months who can prove that one of their ancestors was born here, no matter how far back.

This was the result of Bill C-3. It means that potentially millions of people with no natural democratic right to intervene in our politics will soon be able to vote in our elections. Millions who haven’t contributed a cent to our economy will become eligible for our social safety net. Among them will be organized criminals, terrorists spawned from parents who left Canada to engage in barbarism overseas, people who can’t speak English or French, scammers, drug dealers, and many more undesirables.

Canadian Confidence Hits 11-Month Low as Iran War Drags On

Canadian Confidence Hits 11-Month Low as Iran War Drags On

Canadian consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in almost a year as the war in Iran, which has sent energy prices soaring and stoked worries about persistent inflation, entered its sixth week.

The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Consumer Confidence Index fell to 46.93 in the week ended April 3, while the expectations index extended its four-week loss to almost 10 points. A reading below 50 indicates net negative views. It was the lowest reading for both indexes since May 2025, when consumers and businesses were still digesting the initial shock of US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.

Iran Shot Down a Plane Carrying 85 Canadians, and Now Strikes Canadian Forces and Civilian Targets in the Gulf. What Does Canada Call That, If Not State Terrorism?

Iran Shot Down a Plane Carrying 85 Canadians, and Now Strikes Canadian Forces and Civilian Targets in the Gulf. What Does Canada Call That, If Not State Terrorism?

OTTAWA – On the night of January 8, 2020, a Boeing 737 carrying 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents climbed out of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and was destroyed by two missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. One hundred and seventy-six people died. Iran denied it for three days, bulldozed the crash site, and then blamed a single soldier’s misidentification error.

Canada accepted that framing, more or less. It still does.

Data show more Americans aren’t heading to Canada — it’s the other way around

Data show more Americans aren’t heading to Canada — it’s the other way around

When Donald Trump was first elected U.S. president in 2016, there was a healthy dose of hyperbolic headlines about Americans fleeing to Canada in response, headlines that quickly re-surfaced after his re-election in 2024.

And while it’s true asylum claims from U.S. citizens have spiked in the first full year of both his terms and the ascension of Bill C-3 has opened the citizenship door to untold thousands of Americans with Canadian ancestral roots, new data from the Association for Canadian Studies show fewer U.S. citizens are emigrating north in recent years.

SHAW: Canada is one of the most desired countries on Earth — so why are we told it’s systemically racist?

SHAW: Canada is one of the most desired countries on Earth — so why are we told it’s systemically racist?

If Canada is systemically racist — as the political establishment insists — why is it one of the most sought-after destinations on Earth? Year after year, demand to enter this country remains extraordinarily high. Over 400,000 people became permanent residents in 2023, and even after reductions, nearly 395,000 arrived in 2025.

The vast majority of these immigrants come from countries which diaspora lobbies maintain Canada has historically prejudiced. Whether from India, China, or the Middle East, these groups frequently invoke past injustices inflicted by the Canadian state.


It’s desirable to 3rd World benefit seekers as the elites crave a surplus of cheap foreign labour in order to line their pockets.

In the process they virtually criminalize opposition to mass immigration declaring dissent racist.

Carney embraces this position. The Elbow people are very stupid indeed.

A big week looms for Mark Carney and his ‘new’ Liberals

A big week looms for Mark Carney and his ‘new’ Liberals

Mark Carney seemed especially keen last week to quash any speculation that he intended to shut down Parliament and deliver a new throne speech in the near future.

“It has never even entered my thinking, the possibility of that,” Carney replied, when asked about the rumours, which first appeared in The Globe and Mail.

“I couldn’t have been more surprised to see the suggestion that was under consideration at all.”

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

As provincial budget season winds down nationwide, we are left with the fiscal remains of the day as estimates of budget deficits assault our senses. With the 2025-26 fiscal year wrapping up, every provincial government is reporting or expected to report a budget deficit.

For example, Ontario’s deficit came in below what was projected at only $12.3 billion, but next year’s shortfall is now larger than initially projected at $13.8 billion. As numbers go, being a few billion dollars off from year to year, given the turbulent economic times, is to be expected. After all, borrowing from C.D. Howe, in the end, what is a billion dollars these days, anyway?

A ‘perfect storm’ in the ER: Why one Toronto hospital is sounding the alarm

A ‘perfect storm’ in the ER: Why one Toronto hospital is sounding the alarm

Emergency visits are surging at an east-end Toronto hospital, forcing staff to treat twice as many patients as the facility was built for.

Michael Garron Hospital tells CP24 that emergency department visits have climbed 31 per cent compared to the previous five-year average, with pediatric cases jumping 74 per cent. The spike comes as hospitals across Ontario face mounting pressure tied to funding constraints, staffing challenges, and growing patient needs.

“This is really because of the area that we serve. We have the privilege of serving a community that is represented by a number of patients that are newcomers to Canada, patients that don’t have previous access to care,” he said.

Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea

Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea

OTTAWA — New polling suggests a majority of Canadians think Canada ought to explore joining the European Union at a fraught time for geopolitical relations.

A survey of 4,000 people conducted by Spark Advocacy’s polling arm in March found that one in four respondents thought it would be a good idea for Canada to formally join the economic and political bloc of European nations.

A further 58 per cent indicated it was a proposal worth exploring further, while the remainder felt it was a bad idea.


For starters I believe the EU’s constitution insists prospective members actually be located in Europe.

Secondly if Carney wants in you know it’s a bad thing. The EU is a confederacy of Dumpster Fires.

Young People In Carney’s Canada Have Greater Life-Satisfaction Than Counterparts in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Venezuela … Barely

Young People In Carney’s Canada Have Greater Life-Satisfaction Than Counterparts in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Venezuela … Barely

Young Canadians are increasingly miserable. Government priorities show why

Government budgets shape how we live – and how we feel. If you want to see the consequences of government policy choices, look at how Canadians now rate their life satisfaction.

For nearly two decades, the World Happiness Report has asked people around the globe to evaluate their happiness on a scale from zero to ten. The latest evidence for Canada is frightening.

Research by three Canadian academics shows that the average life satisfaction of younger Canadians – those under 30 – has fallen from 7.6 in the late 2000s to 6.4 in recent years. This steep decline, they report, “places Canada just above Venezuela, Lebanon and Afghanistan on the list of countries experiencing the greatest fall.”
