Michael Taube: Poilievre’s right — Canada needs a hard cap on immigration

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has long recognized what the Liberals have only started to acknowledge: immigration levels in Canada are too high and unsustainable. He has a plan to get things back under control, and it’s a sensible political strategy to take.

Poilievre suggested a new immigration policy for the Conservatives in June. “We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the Liberals did to our system,” he said at a press conference last month. “The population has been growing out of control, our border has been left wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs, illegal migration, human trafficking and much worse.”

The Crillon Ball is described by Tatler as the “world’s most glamorous debutante ball”. Georgie Robertson came out to society in a £6,000 gown, alongside Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer, and boasted afterwards of a “fairytale event in which the aristocracy rub sequinned shoulder pads with the celebritocracy”.

Newcomers to Canada Caused 11 to 21 Percent of Housing Price Increases: Department of Immigration

Immigrants arriving in Canada led to a rise in housing prices, accounting for 11 percent of the price increase in smaller towns and 21 percent in cities of more than 100,000 people, according to the Immigration Department.

According to the report “Immigration and Housing Prices Across Municipalities in Canada,” municipal data across Canada from 2006 to 2021 suggest that over the study period, “the rise in the influx of new immigrants, who arrived in Canada within the past five years, on average, accounted for 11 percent of the rise in median house values and in median rents across municipalities with a population of at least 1,000.”

The report, first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter, said this association was “notably more pronounced” in larger municipalities.

Foreign Births Now Majority as German Fertility Hits Record Low

Germany’s native birth rate has fallen to its lowest level in nearly 30 years, while births to foreign mothers now account for over half of all newborns, according to new official data.

The figures, published by Germany’s Federal Statistical Office, confirm a trend that for years was dismissed as a conspiracy theory: the German people are on their way to becoming a minority in their homeland, thanks to the collapse in birth rates among German citizens, coupled with the steady increase in births among foreign women and mass immigration.

The U.K. is lowering its voting age to 16. Should Canada follow suit?

The U.K. government announced Thursday that it will be lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, in time for its next general election. The move is encouraging for advocates who want to see the same change made in Canada.

“It’s a step that should have been done a long time ago,” Jaden Braves, CEO of Young Politicians of Canada, a Toronto-based non-profit, told CBC News.

“I think it’s very unfortunate that Canada could not be a leader within this discussion.”

STIRLING: CBC brings Soviet-style propaganda to Canada

CBC is reporting on a new study by Pruysers et al. (2025) that claims people sceptical of climate change have personality issues associated with the “Dark Triad:” narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. In contrast, they say those who agree with catastrophic human-caused climate change narratives exhibit prosocial traits like agreeableness and honesty-humility.

Deniers versus compliers, eh?
