Protected: Climate Climbdown: Sacrificing the Canadian Economy for Net Zero Goals Others Are Abandoning

Gwyn Morgan
November 13, 2025
Climate-obsessed politicians – Justin Trudeau in the vanguard – nearly destroyed the Canadian economy chasing emissions targets that are both unrealistic and pointless. Ottawa and the four biggest provinces have squandered $158 billion to create just 68,000 “clean” jobs. Meanwhile, fossil fuels are supplying a bigger share of Canada’s energy needs than ever. And now, leading U.S. officials and even eco-zealots like Bill Gates are re-evaluating their net-zero ideology. But that hasn’t gotten through to Prime Minister Mark Carney who, warns Gwyn Morgan, intends to inflict further punishment on an ailing country in pursuit of a delusional cause.

Cash Constrained: Bill C-2 and Ottawa’s Plan to End Paper Money

“Cash is king, credit is a slave,” George N. McLean wrote in his classic 1890 book How to do Business. More than a century later, it’s still good advice – one that active pro-cash movements in many other countries are recognizing. So why does Ottawa seem determined to put its own banknotes out of commission? In the name of fighting international money-launderers, the Mark Carney government is proposing to outlaw all larger cash transactions and interfere with other key aspects of Canada’s cash economy. Through interviews with experts in business, social policy and politics, Peter Shawn Taylor examines the varied benefits cash provides and asks who stands to gain from a truly cashless society.

Holy Horror: The Campaign to Kill Off Canada’s Religious Charities

The modern welfare state owes much of its origins to religion. Blessed with ample resources and driven by a moral duty to improve the lives of those in their care, churches and religious orders in the Middle Ages created the first universities, hospitals, homeless shelters and food banks. More recently, however, the pendulum of power has swung mightily in favour of secular government. And now, with church attendance on the wane, those secular forces seem determined to destroy their spiritual competition once and for all. Examining a potentially devastating federal proposal to strip religious organizations of their charitable status, Anna Farrow considers the impact churches play in today’s civil society – and wonders how Canada’s less fortunate would fare in a world bereft of faith.

A writer's return reveals a nation in rot, challenging the Canadian identity and exploring the disillusionment that makes one consider leaving Canada.

Drift or North: A Return from Exile and the Idea of the North

After more than a decade living in the crush and chaos of Southeast Asia, writer Brock Eldon came back to Canada to root his young family in a place of promise and possibility. He found instead a country in an advanced state of administrative rot and a people who have abandoned ambition for shallow self-righteousness. In this provocative literary essay, Eldon explores the North he long imagined and discovers that returning is not the same as belonging.

What if October 7 Had Happened Not in Israel but in Canada?

It is probably beyond the imagination of most Canadians that they would ever face the kind of evil atrocity Israelis suffered on October 7, 2023. Or that we would find ourselves living next door to savage terrorists bent on our annihilation. But as Gwyn Morgan points out, it is critical to understand that reality as Israel’s struggle for existence carries on. The history of Israel is nothing short of miraculous. As Morgan personally observed on a tour of the world’s only Jewish state, Israelis have with determination and heart built a free, tolerant, prosperous and technologically-advanced democracy while surrounded by enemies. In the face of ruthless attacks by Hamas and the craven behaviour of supposed friends and allies who now lean in favour of the terrorists, Israel has reminded the rest of the world what real courage is.

Dead Wait: Canada’s Fatal Obsession with Public Health Care

Canada spends more on health care than just about any other country in the world, and with abysmal results. Yet when it comes to fixing the problem, most politicians and policy-makers are immune to common sense. As business leader Gwyn Morgan writes, allowing private options alongside government-funded health care has been proven to help patients in both systems – around the world and here in Canada, too. Yet the courts continued to uphold restrictions on private care while the Mark Carney government simply promises to throw still more money at the problem – showing itself to be as deluded and dogmatic as those who went before.

“Owe Canada”: Our Nation’s Looming Fiscal Abyss

For anyone who still bought into Mark Carney’s self-declared image as the great global banker who would responsibly manage Canada’s finances, his recent promise to juice defence spending to 5 percent of GDP – $155 billion per year in today’s dollars – must surely be the final straw. The Liberal Prime Minister had already announced massive spending hikes and a huge deficit, with interest on the federal debt to hit $70 billion by 2029. All this will spell doom for a country already struggling with declining productivity, zero growth and a falling standard of living, concludes Gwyn Morgan. The veteran business leader charts Canada’s path to budgetary disaster and places the blame squarely where it belongs – on Canada’s profligate Prime Minister.
