Growth in the Federal Bureaucracy
Since 2015, Canada's federal public service has experienced significant growth. Federal employees increased from approximately 257,034 in 2015 to 367,772 in 2024, a 43.1 per cent rise. This expansion is nearly three times the rate of Canada's population growth, which...
Border Security
The USA-Canada border, unguarded along long stretches for generations, will be unguarded no more. A tightly secured border will give rise to higher costs and greater state powers.

The Canada-US Border Crisis
Question: Is Ottawa doing enough to solve the border crisis with the United States?
The tax-holiday arrives
PM Justin Trudeau’s federal government, with their New Democrat partners, is granting a ‘tax holiday’ by suspending the GST/HST on several products to make life more affordable.

Another Trade War?
Recent developments indicate escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States, following President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. Given their deeply integrated trade relationship, this situation has significant...
A Great Parliamentarian
Should Churchill’s wit and speeches be mandatory reading for Canadian parliamentarians today?
Free money is not free
The federal government announced it will give Canadians a temporary break on the GST applied to some products and send a $250 cheque to help with the affordability crisis.
