John Carpay: The new Justice Centre report Post-COVID Canada: The Rise in Unexpected Deaths explains how the latest Statistics Canada death data discredits the government-and-media narrative that Canadians were fed in 2020 and 2021. Politicians and media were wrong about COVID, wrong about lockdowns, and wrong about the COVID vaccines. COVID was much closer to being a bad annual flu than it [...]
Rick McGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements On May 20, 2020, just two months into the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, New York governor Andrew Cuomo gave one of his daily press conferences – a “state of the plague” address of sorts, reliably covered in the legacy media. (He would win an Emmy for “masterful use of television to inform and calm [...]

Victor Penney: Interim writer Victor Penney, Sporting Life It turns out I have something in common with the greatest golfer in the world and, no, it has nothing to do with our abilities. Scottie Scheffler makes the game look easy and has earned tens of millions of dollars playing it. On my end, golf has every right to get a [...]
Donald DeMarco: “Dialogue” is a word that brings to mind fairness and respect for both sides of the debate. For the most part, however, it is a concerted attempt on the part of one side to achieve a triumphant monologue. In other words, certain people who propose dialogue use the word as camouflage to conceal their own intentions. I once taught a [...]
Gideon Spevak: A trend has been forming within Western democratic institutions, one that contradicts the democratic ideal of such bodies: Elected officials face censure and being stripped of their rights (and obligations) as members of elected bodies to represent their constituents — at the hands of their fellow members, with whom they often find ideological differences. In May 2025, the U.S. Supreme [...]
Rick McGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements With the recent announcement that government employees must return to their work in office, the physical remnants of the COVID-19 lockdowns are mostly gone. Do you remember where your vaccination documents are? The arrows on the floors of stores telling us which direction to walk are gone, as are the stickers on subway [...]
UN agencies use AI to spy on youth UN agencies are targeting adolescents around the world—India, Eastern and Southern Africa, the Philippines—by spying on them for their attitudes towards contraception, abortion access, and sexual identity. The agencies target youth with information to change their traditional, family views on these controversial issues. UNFPA (United Nations Fund for Population Activities) works in more [...]
John Carpay: If ethnic guilt can be transmitted from generation to generation, Canada would face never-ending conflict and strife, to the exclusion of unity and friendship. While the application of the principle “Equal rights for all, special privileges for none” will not by itself create a perfect society, following this principle will create more trust, more justice and more social cohesion than [...]

By Joanna Alphonso: For the majority of Canadians, going about their days and doing regular tasks such as going to work, grocery shopping, and visiting family and friends can be done without a second thought about their abilities. However, there are many Canadians who experience barriers accessing everyday services and completing everyday tasks. Statistics Canada (StatCan) reports that four out of five [...]
Kesiah Beere: Across Canada, medical and political organizations have sought unwavering support for gender changes through the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapies and surgical procedures, including for minors. This message, upheld by many Canadian media outlets, “has left the public with the false impression that such treatments are safe, effective, and universally accepted by physicians,” according to a statement originally signed [...]
Paul Tuns: Since February 2024, the Progressive Conservative government of Tim Houston has opened two facilities geared toward youth providing so-called gender-affirming care. In February, Nova Scotia Health opened a youth “clinic” in Kentville (Kentville Gender Affirming Care Clinic) and in March, opened one in Bridgewater. The facilities – which have pediatricians, mental health practitioners, nurses, and pharmacies on-site -- provide puberty [...]
Donald DeMarco: There could hardly be a greater disparity concerning the meaning of life than going to church and watching television. There is a TV commercial for step-in shoes that relieve people of the burden of using their hands. A proud citizen of this world of comfort rebukes another by saying, “Are you still using your hands?” The person who is “with-it” [...]
