While I'm sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into "diversity is our strength, we don't need a melting pot we have a salad bowl" immigration insanity than Canada.
It has the highest foreign-born share of the population in the entire G7 and its living standards have stagnated.
And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.
The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.
I had a conversation recently where we were talking about Canadians having their ability to communicate online limited, where many people said that’s not true, and even @johncleese chimed in.
This is what I was talking about.

The Canadian Online News Act prevents people from sharing news links on Facebook and Instagram.
The stated purpose is to force tech companies to pay news outlets for their work, but to me that doesn’t even make sense. Posting links on social media drives traffic. The more people post links, the more traffic your news site gets.
What stopping people from posting links absolutely does, is limit the ability of people to spread information.
Then there’s the “Online Harms Act”
Which even The Atlantic described as “Canada’s Extremist Attack On Free Speech”

In the article they state: “A bill making its way through the Canadian Parliament would impose draconian criminal penalties on hate speech and curtail people’s liberty in order to stop crimes they haven’t yet committed.”
These are the things I was talking about. It’s a slippery slope, and it’s moving in the wrong direction for the people of Canada.

The hats had one simple message on them: “Be Great” 🔥 (📸 via @NHL)
I want to congratulate the 45th and 47th President @realDonaldTrump on victory last night!!
Your courage, leadership, and strength were on full display this election season, not to mention your comedy!
I wish you the best in getting our economy, our borders, our health, and our unity back in full swing for the next four years.
Take a few weeks off right now to enjoy family time and some golf. You deserve it.
Please stay safe and watch your back; we need you!!
