Birth Tourism: So Prevalent, It Can No Longer Be Ignored
CTV News Vancouver: Richmond, B.C. politicians push Ottawa to address birth tourism and stop 'passport mill'.

"...They reveal that births by non-residents made up 24 per cent of the deliveries at Richmond Hospital, a slight uptick from the year before.
The numbers jumped by more than a third for St. Paul’s and and Mount Saint Joseph hospitals in Vancouver, where non-residents made up 14 per cent of the total births.
We just feel that that is not fair, it really degrades the citizenship that we all enjoy,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie

Pierre Trudeau as a "Flawed", Toppled Leader, Cancel Culture and Canadians' (Lack of) Knowledge of Canadian History
How much do Canadians know about Canadian history or the true history and contributions of those being selectively criticized under the guise of "colonialism"? Would the recent generation or two approve of Pierree Trudeau being toppled for his mistakes?
"...Kenney blames much of this on “historical illiteracy” in Canada. “Jack Granatstein (in his book Who Killed Canadian History) pointed out 20 years ago it was then possible to graduate, I think, from eight of 10 Canadian provinces without ever having taken a class in Canadian history.
“This is the betrayal of two generations, because how can people be informed citizens in a democracy if they don’t have a passing knowledge of how we came to be, of the development of our institutions?”

Liberal Behaving Badly: Rex Says It Best
"...This is an established theme with this government. They may and can get caught, but let 24 hours and a few TV panels pass, and what difference does it make? They continue on — unashamed, unchanged, without regret or remorse — as if nothing has happened.
They were caught out on SNC-Lavalin and interfering with the highest principles of the rule of law after Trudeau categorically (“The allegations in the Globe story this morning are false”) denied the charge. Ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, two outstanding presences in his cabinet, found themselves — I think this is a fair way of phrasing it — resigned from the government. Wilson-Raybould and Philpott bore the consequences of, ironic isn’t it, “doing the right thing.” Meantime the good ship SS Trudeau went beguilingly on as per usual.
Can’t get the power to spend without Parliamentary approval? Fine, spend as you like anyway. Can’t bend the will of your justice minister? Deny you tried and then be found out? Fine — she’s gone, you’re still here..."

Liberals Trying To Look Like Saviours Again, But in Reality Canadians Could be on the Vaccine Sidelines
"...“We have been the slowest Western country in the world to arrange a vaccine supply,” charged Amir Attaran, a University of Ottawa law professor and health policy expert. “I’m worried Canadians are going to watch Americans and Europeans getting vaccinated on TV while we’re still sitting in lockdown.”..."

"Outmigration": Canada's Well-Meaning but Overly Generous, Hasty, Unmonitored, Ill-Considered, Virtuous Immigration program at work.
"Outmigration"? Never ceases to amaze me the words that are created to justify something.
Provinces like N.L. have literally HUNDREDS of fast track entry/immigration programs and are BENDING OVER BACKWARDS for immigrants to come and STAY (not the subject of this article) yet it appears most do not stay (like this article) and end up moving to Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver anyway once the fast track qualification period is over...cities and provinces that these programs were not intended and have their own challenges of overburdened health care, housing, public transportation, policing, infrastructure not to mention recent sky high unemployment levels.
Canada's well-meaning but overly generous, hasty, unmonitored, ill-considered, virtuous immigration program at work.
