Lee Harding argues that progressive ideologies are overtaking Canadian classrooms, prompting parents to seek Christian schools that prioritize faith, tradition, and academic excellence. Without government support, however, parental choice remains financially and logistically constrained.
Senior Fellow Michael Zwaagstra supports the Ford government’s crackdown on school renaming, targeting boards like the TDSB for attempting to erase John A. Macdonald’s legacy. Yes, Macdonald was imperfect, but without him, there might not be a Canada. Renaming schools drains money and distracts from teaching, Zwaagstra argues. Honouring Macdonald preserves the country’s foundations, and Canadians owe him that.
Lee Harding reveals how sexually explicit books ended up in Canadian school libraries, why Alberta is taking action, and why other provinces must follow.
Senior Fellow Michael Zwaagstra warns that the NDP’s rollback of Tory-era school tax reforms has hammered Manitoba property owners. The government has reignited an unequal, outdated funding model by scrapping a 50% rebate in favour of a flat credit and letting school boards hike rates. The result? Soaring tax bills with no promise of relief. Zwaagstra says it’s time for full provincial funding.
For the past 14 years, Vancouver surgeon Dr. Brian Day has led the charge for health-care reform, pushing for the right of patients to pay for private care if their health and well-being are threatened as a result of waiting in a stagnant and overburdened public...
The path to net zero, based on the much disputed belief that carbon dioxide is a pollution, is more steep and impractical than most people realize. Replacing fossil fuels with clean electricity will require much more power generation and a greatly upgraded grid to...

Free trade is flawed, but protectionism is worse The United States has delayed its 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods for 30 days, giving Ottawa a brief window to assess its economic response. This pause should not be mistaken for a change in...
Would you let a doctor skip anatomy? Then why is Manitoba letting teachers skip subject expertise? Imagine that a young man we’ll call Jerry wants to become a high school physics teacher. So, Jerry applies to a Bachelor of Education program at a Manitoba...
“A teacher should be a guide on the side rather than a sage on the stage.” This common saying is one of the most useless pieces of advice that teachers receive from their education professors. Many learning opportunities are, in fact, lost when teachers try to...
The sad legacy of masked children and school closures is still with us long after the pandemic is over. When you think of institutions that failed the public during the coronavirus pandemic, would teachers' unions come to mind? A recent report by the U.S. House...
Remember when Manitoba teachers were once forbidden from giving zeroes to students who didn’t hand in assignments? At that time, even docking marks for late work was strongly discouraged. Unsurprisingly, this approach failed miserably. Anyone with an ounce of...
Judging by Manitoba’s growing deficit, math doesn’t appear to be the government’s strong suit. Now the government seems to want all Manitobans to have equally poor math skills. Last month, the province quietly removed all subject requirements for entry into a...
Perhaps it should be expected that a so-obviously ‘woke’ institution as the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) would toss aside such antiquated concepts as academic merit as it prepares to open its new medical school in the fall of 2025. After all, until...
“Resistance to colonialism is not terrorism.” This quote was shown to more than 5000 Winnipeg School Division (WSD) staff last week at a professional development session that Dr. Chris Emdin from Teachers College, Columbia University delivered. Not...
