VARNER: Canada needs to grow up as a country

Canada’s foreign policy under Prime Minister Mark Carney is being sold as pragmatic, sophisticated, and globally minded. In reality, it is incoherent, unserious, and increasingly detached from Canada’s national interest. It reflects the same Liberal instinct that defined the Trudeau government and prioritizes moral posturing over power, symbolism over strategy, and international applause over outcomes.

We must be free to speak about the scourge of trans violence

The massacre at Tumbler Ridge feels like the militant wing of grievance culture.

There was a double tragedy at Tumbler Ridge in British Columbia this week. The first was the shooting to death of five schoolkids and an education assistant in what ought to have been the sanctuary of their place of learning. The second is that the names and even the bloody fate of those innocents will not be long remembered. Why? Because they had the great misfortune of being murdered by a member of a celebrated minority. By an adherent to that most sainted ideology: transgenderism.

Most violent extremist attacks in Canada are perpetrated by young adult lone actors: report

A federal government assessment examining trends in violent extremism from 2014 to 2024 describes a domestic threat landscape increasingly defined by young adult lone actors using everyday weapons, with radicalization unfolding over years but violence often erupting with little warning.

The assessment, which reviewed 20 attacks that occurred during the 11-year period and that resulted in 29 victims killed and at least 60 physically injured, was obtained by the IJF through Access to Information legislation.

The report states that 90 per cent of violent extremist attacks in Canada over the period were conducted by lone actors, with all except one attack committed by men. The average age of attackers was 26.

Excess Deaths Continue to Climb With No Sign of Slowing Down

It has been just over two years since I last wrote an article in the Daily Sceptic about excess deaths. In the meantime I have continued to compile data from the weekly ONS mortality reports in the hope that an obvious fall in excess deaths would eventually appear in the mortality statistics, but unfortunately this has not yet happened to any significant degree.

Five full years have now elapsed since the year that the first two most deadly Covid waves hit in 2020, so it is a good time to summarise where we are in terms of aggregate data gathered thus far.

Authorities Charge Foreign National Satnam Singh After Record Meth Seizure at BC Border

A foreign national is facing charges linked to what Canada’s border agency is labelling the largest narcotics seizure in the history of British Columbia’s Abbotsford-Huntingdon port of entry.

Canadian border guards caught a man attempting to smuggle a “significant amount” of methamphetamine from the United States at the B.C. crossing last November, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said in a Feb. 10 press release this week to announce the charges.

What I Suffered Being ‘Transgender’

When I was 11, I began identifying as transgender. I had gone down a rabbit hole of websites and niche online forums. There I met a friend—an artist who was 14—whom I admired and looked up to.

We both felt different, out of place in society. Born 10 years earlier, we would have been called tomboys. Instead, we writhed under the pressure of the “female role.” The internet told us the logical conclusion of that struggle was to identify as boys.

I come from a broken home. While my mother and stepfather always loved me, my stepfather became severely disabled when I was 3, leaving me feeling as though I had to raise myself. I eventually reached out to my biological father around a decade later. When he and my stepmother saw my distress—and were told by a psychiatrist that this distress was related to my transgender identity—they began to consider the benefits of affirming me in my transition.

HANNAFORD: Can Canada be defended at all?

Tonight we take a hard look at Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ambitions for Canada’s national defence. Over the past several months, the Prime Minister has spoken forcefully about living in a world of predatory great powers, about rebuilding the Canadian Armed Forces, strengthening NATO commitments, and dramatically increasing defence spending — even doubling it by 2030.

Europe: The New Nations of Immigrants?

When non-Americans think about the United States and immigration, they are inevitably reminded of the title of John F. Kennedy’s 1958 book A Nation of Immigrants. Indeed, the history of America is closely intertwined with migration, which has fundamentally and repeatedly reshaped the demographic and political make-up of the country. Equally intertwined is the debate over migration, which continues to dominate public discussion in the United States—as evidenced by President Trump’s re-election on the cornerstone issue of illegal immigration.
