Bonus: Did you know immigration is one of the few areas where both the federal and provincial governments share responsibility?. Understanding how power is divided helps us ask better questions, and demand better answers.

In Canada, we have the right to believe, or not believe, without government interference. That freedom is fundamental. No one should be punished for practicing their faith. No one should be forced to follow a belief they don’t hold. Religious freedom means choice, not just for

⚖️ In a healthy democracy, the rule of law isn’t just a principle—it’s the foundation. It means that no one is above the law, no matter their position, power, or privilege. From elected leaders to everyday citizens, everyone is subject to the same set of rules. When the law

When Canadians stop paying attention, those in power stop being accountable. Worse still, when elected officials grow arrogant, forgetting who they serve, we all lose. Apathy gives them room to ignore you. Arrogance gives them the belief that they can. This is not just about
