Protected: Continental Grift: Why the Liberal Government’s Fixation with Europe Is a Sham

Market diversification is a sensible enough strategy for Canada, but Mark Carney’s fixation on closer ties with Europe is anything but. For one thing, argues business veteran Gwyn Morgan, we’ve already got comprehensive free trade deals with virtually all of Europe. Cozying up further to a dysfunctional, declining EU is pure folly. Far better for the Carney government to focus on Canada’s own self-inflicted economic problems – inflation, taxes, public debt, the disastrous drought in foreign investment. Oh, and the ongoing lack of free trade within our own borders. No need for overseas adventures, notes Morgan; there’s plenty of work to be done at home.

From Refuge to Hunting Ground: Why Some Migrant Men Come Here to Rape, and What to Do About It

Among the many true things that cannot be said out loud in our era of wokist orthodoxy is that some recent immigrants might be fundamentally different from other Canadians. It’s a taboo that must end if Canada is to avoid repeating the vast wave of sex crimes sweeping across much of Europe. In the concluding instalment of her searing two-part series, Margret Kopala examines the underlying factors behind the horrifying propensity of some recent male migrants to brutalize and sexually assault women in their new country. While many politicians have chosen to turn a blind eye to the problem, Kopala reveals how a popular pushback is finally forcing some Western governments to secure their borders and protect their people. (Read Part I here.)

Monsters Among Us: The Unspoken Link Between Immigration Policy and Sexual Assaults

Not long after the horrific October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Margret Kopala was walking down an Ottawa street when she was verbally assaulted by a man of obvious Middle Eastern heritage making ugly references about her sex. Drawing a line between her harrowing experience and Canada’s lax immigration policy and law enforcement practices, and drawing upon ample evidence from Europe and the UK, Kopala explores the terrifying correlation between recurring waves of young male migrants and shocking increases in violent crime – especially sexual assault. The implications are both personal and societal. Part I of a two-part series.

Endgame to Failure: How the Zero-Tolerance Campaign Against Nicotine Will Backfire

About 11 percent of Canadians currently smoke. Cutting that rate in half by 2035 would offer an enormous health dividend. But how to get there? The influential Ontario Tobacco Research Unit recently offered the federal government its advice: crack down not just on cigarettes but all forms of nicotine use, including vapes, oral pouches and heated tobacco products. But as Ian Irvine points out, such a puritanical approach will worsen overall health, increase crime and reduce social equity. Surveying the international evidence and drawing upon his own academic research, Irvine reveals a better path forward.

Canada’s Economic Web of Woe

In these “Elbows Up” times, when so many Canadians act so eager to tout Canada’s resilience and potential, veteran business leader Gwyn Morgan points to a troubling list of economic woes that tell a different story. Canada is indeed among the world leaders – in food costs, taxation, government debt, the regulatory burden on business and the crippling shortage of affordable housing. Meanwhile, the private sector is neglected and trade talks prioritize political goals. All that, and a government that lacks the ability or courage to take effective action. It is a veritable web of woe – one in which each strand worsens the other.

The Hands-On Future: Skilled Trades, Data Centres and Canada’s Big AI Opportunity

Whether Canadians fear or favour artificial intelligence, they can’t stop it. AI’s transformative power in making so many things faster and easier will doubtless cause pain, says veteran Canadian business leader Gwyn Morgan, but it will also provide generational opportunities Canada must seize. The Prairie region, especially, has the abundant land and energy needed to build the massive AI data centres that will power the future. Some workers are at risk, Morgan concedes, but AI will create opportunities as well, particularly in the skilled trades. AI might just transform our labour force into one where more workers do real things for real people.

From the Strait of Hormuz to Cuba, Net Zero is Dying – Mark Carney Needs to Let Go

After decades spent pursuing net-zero dreams at great cost to their economies and social fabric, most of the world’s industrialized nations are waking back up. War with Iran and the threat of tanker blockades have everyone worried about oil and natural gas supplies and clamouring for energy security. Or nearly everyone. Not Mark Carney, though. Canada’s prime minister keeps pushing industrial carbon taxes higher and insists on wasting taxpayers’ money on windmills that make no difference. Gwyn Morgan recalls his own observation of the global warming movement’s original rise, its morphing into the radical “net zero” cult – and its spectacular global disintegration. It is high time, Morgan writes, that Canadians demand Carney also drop his delusions.
