Diversity Is Our Strength

So strong, it’s our newest sacred cow.

The benchmark price for a Canadian home has more than doubled over the past decade, reaching $760,600 (US$572,470) in June. Trudeau’s government, which took power in 2015, has also steadily raised its annual immigration targets, with more than one million people arriving last year, straining an already tight housing supply.

Poilievre has hammered Trudeau on the issue, focusing on the anger of younger generations. Canada’s housing affordability is among the worst in the world, he told reporters Tuesday outside the Parliament building in Ottawa.

“Rent has doubled,” he said. “Mortgage payments, doubled. Needed down payments, doubled. All after eight years of Justin Trudeau.”

To be sure, skyrocketing housing costs have many causes beyond Trudeau’s control. Provinces and cities — responsible for land-use planning, zoning and permitting — bear some of the blame, as do real estate investors, foreign buyers, years of rock-bottom interest rates and other factors.

Still, Canada’s ambitious immigration targets have outpaced home building, aggravating the imbalance between demand and supply. In the 12 months to March, 4 to 5 international migrants arrived in Canada for every newly started unit of housing construction. That’s the highest ratio of new Canadians to new homes on record in data going back to 1977.

Poilievre, however, repeatedly sidestepped reporters’ questions on Tuesday about whether he would reduce immigration targets.

And we already serve a herd of them.

Guardian;

Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, has announced his resignation and that of his cabinet, citing irreconcilable differences within his four-party coalition about how to rein in migration.

The decision on Friday by the Netherlands’ longest-serving premier means the country will face a general election later this year for the 150-seat lower house of parliament.

“It is no secret that the coalition partners have very different views on migration policy,” Rutte told reporters in The Hague. “And today, unfortunately, we have to draw the conclusion that those differences are irreconcilable. That is why I will immediately … offer the resignation of the entire cabinet to the king in writing.”

Opposition lawmakers wasted no time in calling for fresh elections.

Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration Party for Freedom, tweeted, “Quick elections now”. Jesse Klaver, leader of the Green Left party also called for elections and told Dutch broadcaster NOS: “This country needs a change of direction.” […]

During provincial elections earlier this year, a populist pro-farmer party put Rutte’s party into second place. The defeat was seen as a possible incentive for Rutte to do his utmost to hold together his coalition until its term ends in 2025.

Diversity is our strength. Until it isn’t.

A Saskatoon judge used a murder sentencing Thursdayto lambaste Saskatchewan men who resort to violence in their domestic relationships.

“It is 2023. Judges should not have to say that this is unacceptable,” said Justice Richard Danyliuk.

“Yet I do, all the time. And I have grown weary.”

Danyliuk convicted Ranbir Dhull earlier this year of second-degree murder in the July 2020 death of Samandeep Jhinger, his ex-wife’s cousin.

What’s the root cause of Robert Mugabe’s destruction of Zimbabwe, and the fact that it went on for as long as it did without anyone making a serious effort to stop it? It has a lot to do with ideas originating in the West and an academic and political culture that actively promoted the worst of them.

Smith’s fears were not based on century-old horror stories about Reconstruction. If he believed that white minorities would be run out by the new regime in spite of all prior reassurances to the contrary, it was because that’s exactly what had happened in Algeria. If he worried that the country’s economy would be knocked back to subsistence, with famine following, it was because post-colonial Africa (with the exception of oil-boom Nigeria) had seen negative per capita economic growth in the 1970s. By the time of UDI, the world already had before it the examples of Ghana (Afro-fascism), Tanzania (police state), and the Congo (civil war). Instead of asking why Smith thought Zimbabwe would go the same way, we should ask why anyone thought it would be the exception.

City News- No Canada Day fireworks for Calgary this year

Instead, there will be an “enhanced pyrotechnic show” featuring what they describe as a “visually stunning display of lights and sounds” that will be launched from the main stage at Fort Calgary during the headliner act.

The city says it recognizes the cultural sensitivities around fireworks displays in relation to Truth and Reconciliation.

Franca Gualtieri, manager of arts and culture at the City of Calgary, says it’s a test to address some of the “cultural, community and environmental impacts previously experienced with traditional Canada Day fireworks.”

National Post;

Anyone willing to look at actual data, or listen to real patient stories, has known for years Canadian health care is in perilous territory. Whether it’s ER wait times, hallway health care, surgical backlogs or the severe shortage of family doctors, the system isn’t working.

Unfortunately, any debate about how to fix it was stymied for years by leftist politicians who insisted critiquing Canadian health care was tantamount to treachery. They found it much more politically profitable to accuse Conservatives of wanting to import U.S.-style privatization, despite the fact literally no Conservative politicians were suggesting this.

Now, after years of squandered opportunities to fix our system, we’re instead exporting Canadians to the U.S. system. This week, British Columbia announced it’ll send nearly 5,000 patients over the next two years to the U.S. in order to receive cancer treatment. Aging radiation therapy machines and worker shortages have resulted in untenable wait times and significantly increased risk of poor outcomes, which is health care jargon for Canadians dying entirely preventable deaths.

Well, at least we have MAiD.

At the same time, we must consider how broad immigration targets that aim for record numbers of newcomers each year impact the problem. Similar questions swirl in relation to the housing crisis. We’ve failed to match immigration targets with the infrastructure to back them up, which hurts both Canadians and newcomers.

Oh, no. One mustn’t notice the million new elephants in the waiting room.
