The level of misinformation surrounding firearms and firearms ownership in Canada is increasing. Far too often our discourse on this topic is littered with stats and commentary aligned to conditions in the United States and not Canada. As a result, many Canadians, and many Canadian politicians, have inaccurate understandings of Canadian firearms laws. I’d like to […]
As much as we hear talk of how ‘safe’ and ‘environmentally friendly’ nuclear power is, if you dig with any depth into that claim you see how no regular, sane person really believes that. Case and point, we recently saw the withdrawal of an application by the Ontario Power Generation company for a long-pursued construction […]
Tensions were high. I was glued to my television to see if we would be deployed. All of my gear was at the Regiment in my locker, packed and ready to rock. My bug out bag was available and stowed by my condo door. If a notice to move order came, all I had to […]
Representing 2,000 municipalities across Canada, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has rightfully been considered one of the most important lobby groups in the nation.

Masks have become a controversial global issue because of what it represents to many. For those with a more left-wing purview, masks symbolize a social status of being responsible and caring about others. Often it is outright stated that those who do not wear masks, even in situations where they don’t seem necessary, are somehow […]
The detailed study period, entailing conversations with Innuit leaders, and interviews and telephone surveys with the Innuit population of Canada at large, could not conclude any consensus with the Innuit community on a desire for a name change, so the football club has concluded it is keeping the name.
“Canada is actually a pretty good country to live in, when you compare it to what’s going on in the rest of the world. You talk about the luxuries over there. We’re living with the conveniences, the rights, the freedoms, the infrastructure we have now, we can always do better, of course, but, man, I always count my blessings that I’m living the life I am here in Canada.”
