Recent polling shows that more than half of Canadians now believe immigration levels are too high — double the number from just three years ago. One-third think immigration increases crime, and six in 10 say too many newcomers fail to adopt Canadian values. These are not the views of a suddenly intolerant country. They reflect a public losing confidence in a system that no longer seems to protect their safety or the integrity of Canadian citizenship.
U.S. Vice-President JD Vance made a series of posts criticizing Canada’s political leadership, public broadcaster and immigration system, saying our living standards are “stagnating” because of all the “foreign-born” people living here.
In posts to his X account Friday, Vance says Canada’s elected leaders have created “immigration insanity” by leaning into diversity.
“While I’m sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into ‘diversity is our strength, we don’t need a melting pot, we have a salad bowl’ immigration insanity than Canada,” he said.

It has the highest foreign-born share of the population in the entire G7 and its living… https://t.co/PtlesqPJJl

He’s absolutely right. Blame Trump if you must but Canada’s scumbag elites deserve the lion’s share of the blame for Canada’s sorry state.
Soon it will be four years. An unspeakable slaughter with horrifying numbers—300,000 Russian soldiers killed and perhaps 100,000 Ukrainians. Cities pulverized. The time of the bloodlands returned, with Vladimir Putin taking up the double legacy of Stalin and Hitler.
And all this for what? A village taken here, one retaken there. A motorized unit arriving to plant a flag on a church steeple and take a photo—then bolting immediately. Months of monstrous fighting in Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar (two battles I covered) and in Andriivka to capture tiny towns of which nothing remains but piles of rubble.
From the comments …
Doesn’t BHL understand that allowing Ukraine to hold on but not to win is precisely the West’s objective in the war?
And it is no scandal at all, but rather simple self-defense — letting the Ukrainians do our fighting for us. Eventually, Russia was going to attack the West, anyway. Now it will hesitate to do so, given its depleted military, political, economic and diplomatic standing.
Reconciling abundance with authority
Three decades ago, the visionary social thinker Peter Huber published Orwell’s Revenge, a book that turned one of the twentieth century’s most haunting political parables on its head. Where George Orwell imagined a future of total information control, Huber saw the opposite: a world where digital technology shattered centralized authority. In 1984, the Ministry of Truth could rewrite history because it monopolized the tools of communication. But in the digital age, Huber argued, the networked computer would scatter those tools across society, producing an unruly democracy of voices. The Internet, he predicted, would not empower “Big Brother” but millions of “little brothers”—individuals able to report and argue and publish. What once seemed a one-way flow of information from elite institutions to a passive public was becoming a many-to-many conversation. The gatekeepers were being evicted by the code.
For those searching for savings at the grocery store, many are finding out that there’s no safe place to take cover from sky-high food costs.
“The problem in recent years is all categories (of groceries) are going up in price, all at once,” said Sylvain Charlebois, Agri-Food lab director at Dalhousie University.
One shopper outside a Toronto-area Loblaw Grocery store shared with CTV News that in years past, her weekly grocery bill was around $80, but it now falls between $150 and $200.
Soon the government will feed their cheap foreign workers with Soylent Green!
Deliberate drone incursions into sovereign NATO airspace. Suspicious damage to undersea cables. Calculated attacks that test the West’s cybersecurity. All these actions by Russia have just been a prelude to the latest effort to intimidate the West from aiding the embattled Ukrainian nation.
Of late there has also been a deliberate effort to sabotage the Polish railway system. No surprise: the gateway had become a crucial gateway for sending military aid to Ukraine. That attack signals Russia’s willingness to escalate warfare beyond Ukraine’s borders and into NATO territory. This “anonymous” incident, however, reveals an extremely calculated strategy to intimidate European nations while Russia maintains plausible deniability.
About a half a million Canadians left emergency departments before being seen by a doctor in 2024, according to a data analysis by CBC’s Marketplace.
And because B.C. and Quebec report these figures based on the fiscal calendar (and include parts of 2025), that number is likely a lot higher.
The 2024 statistics collected from most provinces and territories show Prince Edward Island had the highest percentage of people leaving, at roughly 14 per cent.
New York Times Houston bureau chief J. David Goodman sounded aggrieved in his Texas-based story in Wednesday’s paper, “Texas Declares Muslim Civil Rights Group a Terrorist.” This is how liberal papers routinely describe leftist agitators. They’re “civil rights groups.”
A pleasant distraction. All went above the “estimate” though not knowing art auctions I am unsure why many were so low to begin with.

It is now indisputable that President Trump’s use of the National Guard to reinforce local law enforcement and crime-ridden cities is successful and welcome when applied.
The rabidly partisan Democratic mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, had opposed the introduction of the National Guard but after the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department disclosed that violent crime had fallen by half during this period and even relatively minor offenses such as evasion fares on the subway system were practically eliminated.
Man will be deported to India after criminally harassing Sarnia teens
A 51-year-old man from India visiting Canada on a temporary visa has been convicted of criminally harassing two teenaged girls outside a Sarnia high school and will be deported and banned from coming back to the country.
If the window to a man’s character is his credit card statement then Colombia’s president has some explaining to do.
Gustavo Petro, the left-wing leader and a fiery critic of the excesses of consumerism, appears to have a penchant for Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Prada, and the occasional strip club.
This startling revelation emerged earlier this week, after the president decided to fight back against claims made by President Trump that he is a drug trafficker. To quash the story, Petro ordered that all his bank and credit card statements be released.

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra had three messages this week: Don’t run those ads again, you will need to accept some tariffs and the F-35 contract is key to a deal. On all three elements, Canada’s Laurentian Elite lost their collectivist little minds.

WASHINGTON — America’s largest teachers’ union accused Republicans of promoting “racist and transphobic troupes” in teaching materials for an upcoming training program, according to documents obtained by a conservative activist group.
The National Education Association is hosting a training from Dec. 2-4 at an undisclosed location called “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice and Transgender Advocacy” aimed at dismantling “strategic racism and transphobia,” the group Defending Education uncovered.
A newly announced permanent exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg is being met with heightened concern from Jewish groups.
“The Museum has allowed itself to become the tool, or dupe, of only one side of the story and thereby betrays its duty as a national institution to provide a common and inclusive meeting and educational space on the matter of human rights,” Winnipeg lawyer, businessman and trustee at the Asper Foundation, David Asper, told National Post in an email. His family led the museum’s founding in 2014.
