Everything about official bilingualism in Canada is built on myth. People can’t “just learn” a language they don’t need. Canada isn’t “built on” two equally-sized language groups. Bilingualism isn’t “necessary” to function at an elite level. It’s all just Laurentian folklore.

No. The problem is not "Ottawa." Ottawa is a city. The problem is the "Liberal government," whose present Liberal ministers, Fraser, Miller, and Diab, unleashed this immigration chaos. To fix a problem, name it.

A very large share of crime is committed by a very small share of the population. We should lock them up for long periods of time via something like a 10 strike rule or sentences that increase multiplicatively with each prior offence.

Suspect Shot In Vaughan Home Invasion Has Over 45 Charges, Since 2020 A male suspect is facing charges after being wounded during an attempted armed home invasion in Vaughan early Tuesday morning. According to York Regional Police, officers were called to a residence near Carrville Woods Circle and Crimson Forest Drive at approximately 12:50 a.m. on March 17, 2026, following reports of a shooting. Investigators say multiple suspects, at least one of whom was armed with a firearm, forcibly entered the home. During the incident, an occupant retrieved a legally owned and properly stored firearm and fired at the intruders, prompting them to flee the scene. Police said the suspects were last seen leaving the area in a black pickup truck before officers arrived. No residents inside the home were physically injured. A few hours later, authorities were notified that a man suffering from a gunshot wound had been dropped off at a hospital in the Toronto area. Investigators later determined the individual had been injured during the Vaughan home invasion and was transported to hospital shortly afterward. Police have since laid charges against the injured suspect, Trestin Cassanova-Alman, 24 of no fixed address Cassanova-Alman Criminal History July 2020 -Charged with possession of fentanyl, cocaine and crystal meth for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime October 2020 -17 charges for Five violent armed robberies and an armed carjacking where an eight-year-old girl was taken with the stolen vehicle.

This👇 is an important point. Focussing solely on population growth numbers is misguided. We need to focus on the outflows (brain drain) as well as inflows, and on human capital. Canada’s immigration system used to be a “high human capital model,” which was the secret to its success. We emphasized advanced education, relevant work experience, official language proficiency, etc. During the Trudeau years our immigration system was turned on its head into one that privileges people with low levels of human capital. Add to that the departure of many of our brightest young people for greener pastures. It all adds up to a real long term problem that will deepen our decline in productivity and prosperity.

Which demographics of Canadians are leaving Canada? >67% of the are 20-44 year olds. >3x more likely to be in Sciences than avg population. >31.1% have a masters degree. >61.4% left to the US. In other words, it's Canada's youngest, most talented and educated population.

Canada doesn't need to be this way. Violent home invasions are ruining what semblance of peace and safety we previously had. If you've been charged 45 times including for trafficking cocaine and fentanyl, multiple violent armed robberies and charges for MURDER you should be in jail. Bail should simply not be possible. Law abiding Canadians "didn't sign up for this" and if it continues we will see more people leave and more vigilante justice. We have to choose rationality, not stupidity.

For the record. Canada is sleepwalking into recession, with a collapsing standard of living and a soaring cult of Mark Carney, and once again earning its honorary place as a member of the Third World. Even as growth flatlines, per‑capita incomes stagnate and policymakers openly tell Canadians to get used to being poorer, Carney enjoys record‑level approval ratings unmatched in a decade. It is a bleak rerun of the early 1980s, when Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s interventionism delivered stagflation, recession and mounting debt while Ottawa insisted that more state control was the cure. The difference now is that the delusion is more brazen: Bay Street demands higher rates to clean up the non-existent inflationary mess, Carney wraps managed decline in climate and “equity” branding, and the political class applauds. Proof that Marx’s bourgeois socialists are not just alive in Canada, they are firmly in charge.

I’m at a loss for words. Substitute ANY other group (women for example) and people would be falling over themselves to express concern, outrage, etc. For those of you sitting comfortably in your silence - be ashamed.

A few years ago, a friend was told eight months for an MRI for a non-emergency that was causing them a lot of pain/quality of life issues. Out of curiosity, I googled MRI clinics in Buffalo and called the first hit. Asked when they could take an appointment. Same day.
@

Why does Canada have the longest MRI wait times in the developed world? The Ontario health ministry has a central licensing department for all imaging. In 2024 less than 30 licenses were given out. I know imaging centres that have machines collecting dust for years waiting to
