Christians are the World’s Most Persecuted Group

Many of us in the West are unaware of the harsh religious persecution faced by Christians today. The widespread disenfranchisement faced by Christianity’s adherents has been relegated in the hierarchy of importance, thus becoming a topic that is seldom discussed. For this reason, the fact that Christians are the world’s most discriminated against and targeted religious community has gone entirely unnoticed.

The Maritimes did not get a ‘fair deal’ by joining Confederation

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.

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.”

India’s biggest threat is Communism

Some communists in the West will ignore the gross human rights violations of the CPI in Kerala, pointing to the strong economy in Kerala compared to other Indian states. This ignores the fact that Kerala’s economy currently hangs on by a thread. Remittances fuel it from Keralites working in the Persian Gulf, which constitutes 31% of the economy.

How Trump’s not-Benghazi brings us two steps away from WWIII

Over the next few weeks, expect a lot of noise from Iran, their proxies and political pundits who had to Google what the IRGC Quds Force was last night. But mostly it will be just that, noise.

Opinion: Why does The Washington Post have a soft spot for terrorists?

The Washington Post has done it again. Previously, they referred to the former ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as an “austere religious scholar” in a headline reporting his death. Like Soleimani, he died from a coordinated U.S. military strike.

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.

Opinion: The Conservatives’ Perception problem cost them

Rather than speaking to Scheer’s family’s struggles in his early years, he spent the bulk of the campaign either deflecting on same-sex marriage and abortion or attacking Trudeau’s record. The mudslinging brought out the worst of our representatives and polarized the general electorate further.
