From the onset, Atlantic Canada was reluctant to join Confederation for fear of losing its autonomy, prior to the National Policy. They remained firm on free-trade with the United States, which contrasted the protectionism of Central Canada.

Canadian conservatism needs drastic reform

Canadian conservatism has undergone an immense transformation in the past several decades. For those like myself, who adhere to its philosophical tenets, the Conservative Party of Canada hardly advocates for what it suggests to represent.

The Liberal Party attacks law-abiding gun owners with misleading statistics, says Ontario NFA Director

In 2019, violent gun crime is a hot button issue for our country, reeling from a divisive election.

Majid Jowhari: Liberal MP or Iranian Asset?

Avideh: “Jowhari’s demeanour has led me to think that he is acting in favour of the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic. I particularly remember the time when he tweeted a favourable stance toward the Islamic Republic of Iran, against the rights of protestors, while the regime was killing people brutally in the streets, calling the Islamic republic’s government an “elected” government. And actually, his first official act as an MP at the House of Commons was to sponsor the Petition E-553 which benefits and is in the interest of a foreign government, the Islamic Republic of Iran, a nation which is internationally sanctioned and is known as a state sponsor of terrorism.”

After a long vacation abroad, Trudeau takes another personal day

That’s right. The leader of our country needs a break after two-plus weeks of vacation in the middle of a major political crisis. Shocking, but not atypical from his escapades in the Bahamas and to Aga Khan’s island, exceeding $215,000 and $125,000, respectively.

Canada faces a constitutional crisis. The solution? Senate Reform.

As our neighbours to the south, the Senate should be elected. Regardless of their principles, they should hold the governing body accountable, and not be its lackey. Even if they are predominantly independent with centre-left tendencies, there is no excuse for a critical part of our democracy to be reduced to an unaccountable, toothless apparatus.

Is anyone in Canada going to say something about radical Islam?

Unfortunately, we have a political class that is happily in bed with Islamists and can rest there quite comfortably since they know the media poses no real threat of competently reporting on any of this. Take for example the recent major Islamic conference in Toronto, Reviving the Islamic Spirit, which bills itself as the largest one in North America. They chose to invite Siraj Wahhaj as one of their main speakers, and this should have raised some eyebrows within the media if it truly is as sensationalist and Islamophobic as some people claim it is.
