The framing of stay-at-home moms, who run households full-time, as non-participants in the economy is so disingenuous.
We’re delivering $10-a-day child care across Canada – making it easier for more women to return to the workforce and fully participate in our economy.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives would cut our progress.

This is a University of Toronto professor. I’m terrified to think of what kind of “decolonization” he’d support in Canada.
As Hawaiians wake up to the news of Palestinian anticolonial resistance in Gaza to Israeli settler colonialism, remember that—from Hawaiʻi to Palestine—occupation is a crime. A lāhui that stands for decolonization and deoccupation should also stand behind freedom for Palestine.

It’s one thing for Trudeau to say this (flawed thinking but he’s entitled to it), but it’s unbecoming of the Supreme Court to openly advocate for affirmative action and identity-based appointments.

Monogamy is one of the oldest, most deeply engrained features of our civilization for good reason. It's the safest for raising kids, it insulates women from being collected like property, etc.
Polygamy isn't, and shouldn't be, legitimized by law because it's deeply maladaptive.
As polyamory gains wider acceptance, having multiple partners is still far from a legal right.

She says it like “bias” is a problem here. Hardly. Westerners should ally with other Westerners who have similar values, and not Islamist “anti-colonial” movements that use rape as a tool of war and terror.

Friendly reminder that the Liberals offer double the wage subsidy for “newcomer” apprentices in trades than they do for Canadian-born, white men.
Kind of strange that he’s saying the solution lies with a group that costs taxpayers twice as much, isn’t it?
With the First Home Savings Account, we’re helping put the dream of home ownership back within reach for so many Canadians.
As housing challenges persists it is crucial for immigration to be factored into the overall approach, as newcomers are an undeniable part of the solution.

How this statement got beyond the drawing board is beyond me. The idea that every institution needs to perfectly match general population demographics comes directly from liberal left politics. Invoking it undermines trust in institutions.
Canadians need to see themselves reflected in their judiciary because that builds trust in our democratic institutions.

Milton MP decries attacks on the media after attacking the media.
Attacking the media is undemocratic and anti-freedom of expression.
Another page out of the disastrous Trump administration’s playbook.
As politicians, we are never immune to criticism from the media. Poilievre should know this, since it’s the only job he’s ever had.

Public school is supposed to give parents a religion-neutral place to educate their kids. Here, students are being made to participate in what is essentially a prayer.
Also, the land fundamentally belongs to Canada and the Crown. Students are not "guests."
Should children be taught that they are guests in their own country?
“We are grade two students. We are hosted here at General Brock school. [TDSB]
We come from India, China, Abu Dhabi, […].
We accept that the land that we are on belongs to the Indigenous people. We recognize…

Fae's company received $1 million in federal funding to run this program for three years. Tasks include holding "national and regional knowledge mobilizing events," setting up advisory councils, and providing public education for the cause. It's advocacy.
Irresponsible journalism. Saying my firm received federal dollars for advocacy, as this article states, is untrue.
We received federal $$ for a project focused on addressing GBV through training and education, among other things.
But facts don’t matter to NatPo columnists.

As you can see, it really pays off for the Liberals to fund these guys. Third-party attack ads!
And yeah, the gender ideology that Egale insists on teaching kids is toxic. Little kids shouldn't be taught that biological sex doesn't matter and that "agender" is a thing.

's claims that “radical gender ideology” is being imposed on children is part of a misinformation-fueled hate campaign that is threatening the safety, freedoms, & rights of 2SLGBTQI people, especially those who are Two Spirit, trans, and gender diverse.

This federally-funded education toolkit says teachers should address students who support "problematic politicians" and policies.

Underlying this, and the "land back" movement, and the effort to downplay Canada Day, and B.C.'s forthcoming property law amendments, is the notion that Canada is not truly sovereign. It's a baseless idea that should be rejected outright by any serious government, but here we are
