A milestone recession is stealing young Canadians’ future

For most of Canada’s history there was an understood bargain at the heart of our social contract. If you worked hard, got an education, stayed out of trouble, and did your part, you would get a happy life in return. You could move out, find decent work, buy a home, raise a family if you wanted one, and feel that your life was progressing roughly according to plan. The promise was never that everything would be easy, or even equal. It was that effort would compound into stability, and stability into a future.

For many young Canadians today, that sequence of success has become delayed, distorted, and broken. The country still asks for all the same things it once did: discipline, education, thrift, patience, flexibility, and resilience. But now the rewards arrive later, at a higher price, and with far less certainty.

In Carney’s Canada, data suggests we’re using our tax returns just to live

Don’t get too many plans for your tax refund, if you’re getting one. According to new data, Canadians are using it just to keep food on the table.

The cash crunch is forcing Canadians to rely on their tax returns to cover their day-to-day expenses. According to data, 40% of Canadians depend on their tax refund to help address cost-of-living expenses, and 28% are going to use it to pay for everyday essentials.

Ted Morton: Carney demands Supreme Court strip provinces of right to pass their own laws

There is an important constitutional conference going on in Ottawa this week. Haven’t heard about it? Don’t feel badly. Neither have most provincial governments who stand to lose one of the most important powers they acquired with the adoption of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.

The provincial premiers have not been invited. There is none of the pomp and circumstance and media coverage that normally accompany constitutional conventions. No, this will all take place very quietly in the chambers of the Supreme Court, where the Mark Carney Liberals are asking the Supreme Court to effectively amend the Charter by imposing new restrictions on how provincial governments can use their Section 33 notwithstanding power.

AUBUT: A path forward – Canada’s ‘postnational’ experiment is failing

Hate them forever

From Justin Trudeau’s identity vacuum to pandemic overreach, how Canada lost its cultural core and why restoring fairness and the rule of law is the only way back.

In December 2015, soon after becoming Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau described Canada to The New York Times Magazine as a “postnational” state, adding: “There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada.” He then pointed to shared values such as openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other, and to pursue equality and justice.

For Carney, the time for talk is done

The PM has made progress on rolling back the excesses of his predecessor, but after a year, has yet to make substantial gains on his promised ambitious change

It was a year ago, minus a day, that Mark Carney called a snap election asking for a clear mandate to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. Mr. Carney had been named Prime Minister just days before, following his victory in the Liberal leadership race.

Mr. Carney ran on the promise of strengthening Canada’s economy and military, protecting health care, stabilizing the immigration system and dramatically ramping up home building and infrastructure projects.

John Carpay: How Many Court Rulings Does It Take to Prove Use of the Emergencies Act Was Wrong?

After declaring a “national emergency” on Feb. 14, 2022, the federal government unleashed police force on peaceful Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa, and froze hundreds of bank accounts of Canadians from coast to coast.

GIESBRECHT: Canada once let Nazis in — are we about to repeat that mistake with Iran’s IRGC?

Canada has a largely honourable history, but we weren’t at our best after WWII, when it came to picking which of the millions of refugees displaced by the war should be admitted, and which we should refuse entry. Many Nazis were admitted, while many Jewish Holocaust survivors were refused. The phrase “One is too many” summarized the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi sympathies of too many Canadian officials and politicians at the time. The Deschênes Commission was established in 1985 to review Canada’s rather shameful attitude at the time, and the fact that many Nazi war criminals were living in Canada.


It is estimated that some 700 regime members may already be resident in Canada which leads me to suspect that the system is compromised by Islamists.

Canada’s Criminal Government Not Tracking Foreign Students After Visas Lapse, Audit Says

Canada’s foreign student program lacks integrity controls to verify ongoing visa compliance, and the government does not track whether students leave the country when their permits expire, the auditor general said.

Karen Hogan’s audit of the program released Monday found that the government was successful in reducing the number of study permits it issued each year but fell short on improving the integrity of the system.


Our government is nothing short of criminal.

Canada’s wait-and-see economy is in a very fragile state

In the past few weeks, news on the Canadian economic front has tilted negative overall.

Statistics Canada came out with a February jobs report that showed employment declined by a net 84,000, which came on top of a loss of 25,000 jobs in January. The cumulative decline makes it the worst start to a year employment-wise since 2009.

GDP figures released late last month showed that Canada’s economy contracted in the final quarter of 2025, capping the weakest year for growth since the pandemic.

Will Canada unshackle itself in time? The global energy and minerals window of opportunity

“We are touchingly prone to mistaking our models of reality for reality itself, mistaking the strength of our certainty for the strength of the evidence, thus moving through a dream of our own making that we call life…we are simply not capable of processing the full scope of reality. Our minds cope by choosing fragments of it to the exclusion, and often to the erasure, of the rest.” – Maria Popova/The Marginalian

Great words, hey? All part of the human condition. All of us suck, in this regard, at some time or other. Best practice, as a human, is to just become cognizant of this trap we all fall into.

It is even easier to fall into the trap when surrounded by like-minded or sycophantic people, one’s that don’t challenge much. In other words, politics.

Children make up 33% of food bank visits in Canada.

Despite community efforts to feed the city’s youngest residents, the percentage of children using the Saskatoon Food Bank hasn’t declined in the last 18 years that Laurie O’Connor has worked there.

About 40 per cent of the food bank’s requests for hampers are made on behalf of children, according to O’Connor, the food bank’s executive director.

“That number really hasn’t fluctuated much in those two decades. So whether or not we can respond to the need hasn’t made that big of an impact on child poverty,” she told CTV News.
