A Father’s Last Stand and a Nation’s Quiet Surrender
In Vaughan, Ontario, 46‑year‑old father of four Abdul Aleem Farooqi confronted three masked men who broke through the back door of his home. He died doing what any father, husband, or sovereign citizen instinctively would: defending his family.
It was no random act. According to police, this was a targeted home invasion, an operation aimed at money. The armed intruders made off with mobile phones and fled the scene after gunning him down in front of his wife and children.
This is where the tragedy deepens.
Instead of praising the man’s courage or acknowledging the growing lawlessness spreading across suburban Canada, York Regional Police issued a statement not of justice, but of submission. Their message to citizens? Don’t fight back. Comply. Pray you Survive.
Translation: Your home is no longer your castle. Call 911, after the invaders leave.
But what if they don’t?
What if they leave your children traumatized? What if they take more than property?
We have crossed a Rubicon. In the name of multicultural harmony and progressive restraint, we have surrendered the one thing no free people can afford to give up: the right to self-defense.
For decades, Canadians were told to disarm: physically, morally, spiritually. In return, they were promised protection. But now that protection is melting away. Illegal border crossings are up. Organized gangs are thriving. Refugee streams from failed globalist wars are pouring into a fragile housing market and underfunded security apparatus. And citizens are told to stay calm, stay compliant, and stay silent.
This is not compassion. This is engineered vulnerability.
A generation ago, a man like Farooqi would’ve been lauded, a citizen-soldier defending sacred ground. Today, he’s a casualty of a society that has forgotten its own center of gravity.
No nation survives when it tells its citizens to surrender their instincts. No civilization endures by outsourcing its defense to a bureaucracy that arrives after the blood is already on the floor.
This isn’t just about Vaughan. It’s about a philosophy, one that rejects the very notion of rootedness, duty, and righteous defense, over blind compliance and state dependency.
True sovereignty does not begin in Parliament. It begins at the threshold of your own front door.
Abdul Aleem Farooqi died defending his. And that simple act: tragic, heroic, real, is worth more than a thousand slogans from those who live behind gates and security details.
Let his death be remembered not just as a tragedy, but as a line in the sand.
Because if we can’t protect our homes, we don’t have a country.
And we’re not going to let them take that, too.

Ottawa’s Labour Dilemma: Tensions Rise Over Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program
A fierce debate over Canada’s reliance on temporary foreign labour has ignited after Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called for the complete dismantling of the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program, arguing it displaces young Canadians and artificially depresses wages. “Why are the Liberals shutting our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low-wage, temporary foreign workers from poor countries?” he asked during a press event in Mississauga. He emphasized that the blame lies not with the workers themselves, but with what he described as a coalition of Liberal elites and corporate profiteers.
The TFW program was originally conceived as a targeted solution for industries facing short-term labour shortages. However, Poilievre claims it has ballooned into a structural dependency: diluting local labour markets, particularly for entry-level and blue-collar jobs. His proposal would preserve agricultural labour streams like the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP), but eliminate broader use across the service and manufacturing sectors, forcing a reset of Canadian hiring practices.
Government figures attempt to challenge his narrative. Immigration Minister Lena Diab’s office says the 105,000 permits cited by Poilievre include renewals, not just new entries. In fact, only 33,722 TFWs actually entered Canada from January to June, and overall temporary worker arrivals are down 125,903 compared to the same period last year. Still, with permits trending higher than the government’s original 82,000 cap, trust in the system’s limits is eroding.
Behind the policy clash lies a deeper demographic and economic rift. Canada’s population grew by just 20,107 people in Q1 2025, the slowest pace since 2020, and all of it driven by immigration. Deaths outnumbered births by over 5,600 in that period, according to Statistics Canada. As Prime Minister Mark Carney looks to scale immigration back to 5% of population share from its current 7%, business lobbies are voicing the opposite concern: labour scarcity. “Their top issue is tariffs. The second is how to get more foreign workers,” Carney admitted. Of course, they're addicted to cheap labour over hiring Canadians.
This divide reflects a core tension in Canada’s "post-pandemic" labour strategy: whether to rebuild domestic self-sufficiency or double down on globalized labour outsourcing. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) ridiculed Poilievre’s proposal as “ridiculous,” arguing that no urban Canadian youth will move to work rural jobs in Saskatchewan. But critics counter that cheap labour becomes a crutch, discouraging investment in local training, and leaving entire industries addicted to temporary fixes.
The numbers suggest that the program, while shrinking slightly, remains massive in scale. With Canada’s housing market straining under pressure and trust in national institutions waning, the debate over who fills entry-level jobs and why—cuts to the heart of Canada’s identity crisis. What began as a policy tool has become a symbol of elite detachment from working-class realities.
Poilievre’s proposal, taps into a broader mood of economic dislocation, demographic anxiety, and calls for renewal. Whether it gains traction will depend on whether Canadians believe their government still works for them, or merely for the balance sheets of globalized supply chains.

🇨🇦 “Sex-for-Rent” in Canada: When the State Fails, Desperation Becomes Policy
They used to call this a developed country. Now in cities across Canada, young women are offering sex in exchange for rent.
Not in a red-light district, not in some dystopian novel, but on local classifieds, Facebook groups, and student housing boards. It’s being normalized. Rebranded. “Consensual,” they say. “Practical,” even. As if transactional sex-for-shelter is just another side hustle in Carney's Canada.
Let’s be clear: there isn’t much choice here. When your other option is a tent behind a bus station, it’s survival. This is what happens when a country forgets its own citizens. When housing becomes an asset class for foreign buyers. When jobs vanish. When the government floods the labor market, inflates the population, and pretends it’s helping.
Meanwhile, the same politicians who built this mess fly business class to climate conferences and lecture the public about "liberal values". But they won’t build and increase the housing supply. They won’t cap migration. And they certainly won’t admit that their “just-in-time globalism” has collapsed into something rotten and unrecognizable.
The cultural left shrugs and calls this liberation. But deep down, everyone knows this is a death rattle. Civilization doesn’t die in fire, it dies when your daughters start trading sex for rent and your government calls it progress. Welcome to economic feudalism, updated for the gig economy.
What’s most shocking is how quiet many conservatives have been. As if saying the obvious truth would be impolite. As if this is just one more issue to campaign on instead of a red line. A sovereign country doesn’t let this happen. A sovereign country protects its young girls, its women, its workers, its future. And yet here we are.
This isn’t about sex. It’s about surrender. To global finance. To open borders. To a class of elites who will never be asked to make these choices. But the rest of us see it clearly. We’re not imagining the decline. We’re living it.

Finance Minister Says Canada Must ‘Reinvent’ Economy Like 1945
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says Canada faces a moment of economic reinvention on the scale of the post-war boom of 1945.
Speaking at the Liberal cabinet retreat in the Greater Toronto Area, Champagne argued that the country must shift away from its dependence on U.S. markets in the wake of President Donald Trump’s trade war and mounting tariffs. “I often make an analogy between 2025 and 1945. In 1945, Canada reinvented itself, and I think this is one of those moments,” he told reporters.
He said Ottawa’s plan will focus on major projects and new technologies such as artificial intelligence, while also acknowledging looming cuts in the public sector after years of hiring growth during COVID-19. “There will be adjustment in different places,” Champagne said.
Prime Minister Mark Carney echoed the message earlier this week, promising a federal budget that reins in operational spending while funnelling billions into infrastructure and industry. Champagne framed the approach as “capital expenses for the future,” intended to build resilience and growth.
The finance minister also drew attention to Canadians’ frustration with rising costs. “Canadians have been tightening their belt for quite some time. Times have been challenging for many families across the nation. So, it’s only normal that from a government perspective we do the same,” he said.
While promising a forward-looking budget, Champagne did not rule out the possibility of job losses in government, stressing instead that efficiency, technology, and value for money will guide policy.
The cabinet retreat also drew attention for its guest list: the Prime Minister’s Office invited Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, a close Trump ally linked to Project 2025, a reminder of how deeply U.S. political currents continue to shape Canadian debates about sovereignty and economic direction.

Carney says Canada will join ‘military assistance’ pledge for Ukraine
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Canada is prepared to join its "allies" in offering “direct and scalable military assistance” to Ukraine once a ceasefire or peace agreement is reached.
Carney made the commitment virtually at a meeting of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing,” yesterday where 26 allied nations pledged to contribute troops or maintain a military presence on land, at sea, or in the air to "reassure Kiev" after the fighting stops. French President Emmanuel Macron described the effort as a future “reassurance force,” while British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the need for U.S. backing.
The plan would likely force Canada to reconsider its role in Latvia, where Carney recently announced troops would remain until 2029. Military experts say Ottawa does not have the capacity to maintain both deployments at scale.
Earlier in the day, Macron and other European leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, pushing for guarantees of long-term support. Zelenskyy’s office said the talks focused on security assurances across air, land, sea, and cyberspace.
The theoretical coalition as Zelensky called it, also agreed to supply Ukraine with additional long-range missiles, even as U.S. President Donald Trump signaled he was still seeking a path to peace but avoided setting timelines.
European officials stressed the pressure on Moscow must be sustained, with Berlin warning sanctions could intensify if Russia resists negotiations. For Canada, the pledge underscores a growing strategic bind: extending costly commitments abroad while navigating an economy already under heavy strain at home.

Statistics Canada says most of the losses came from part-time work, with core working-age Canadians between 25 and 54 hit the hardest. The participation rate, a key measure of how many people are working or seeking work, slid to 65.1% — its lowest point since COVID-19 disruptions.
Sectors exposed to tariffs bore the brunt: scientific and technical services shed 26,000 jobs, transportation and warehousing lost 23,000, and manufacturing fell by 19,000. Construction was a rare bright spot, adding 17,000 roles.
Economists had expected modest job growth, but BMO’s Douglas Porter called the report “arguably the weakest since the pandemic days.” With inflation still stubbornly high, the losses may pressure the Bank of Canada to consider rate cuts when it announces its next decision on September 17.
This marks the second consecutive month of decline, after 41,000 jobs were lost in July, raising concerns that Canada’s labour market is sliding deeper into a prolonged slowdown.

Carney unveils billions in funding, Buy Canadian policy to "combat Trump’s tariffs"
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a sweeping package of measures Friday aimed at insulating Canada’s economy from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, including billions in new funding, an extended safety net for workers, and a new Buy Canadian procurement policy.
Speaking in Mississauga, Ont., Carney said the initiatives are designed to help workers and businesses hardest hit by the trade war and to “move Canada from reliance to resilience, from uncertainty to prosperity.” He described the tariff shock as a “rupture” in the global economy that requires urgent action.
The plan includes a pause on Canada’s electric vehicle sales mandate for the 2026 model year, with a 60-day review underway. Ottawa says this temporary measure will give auto workers and companies time to adapt to restructuring pressures in the sector.
For workers, the government is rolling out a reskilling program for up to 50,000 people, automatic enrolment of new EI claimants into a national jobs-matching platform, and extended EI benefits of up to 65 weeks for long-tenured workers. The waiting period for EI will also be waived for as many as 700,000 people.
Businesses will have access to a new $5-billion Strategic Response Fund, open to all sectors, to support retooling, productivity improvements, and new market development. The Regional Tariff Response Initiative, originally set at $450 million, will be expanded to $1 billion. Loan supports are also increasing: the ceiling for small- and medium-sized enterprise loans from the Business Development Bank of Canada will rise to $5 million, while the Large Enterprise Tariff Loan Facility will offer longer terms at lower rates.
A central piece of the plan is a binding Buy Canadian policy. Carney said federal agencies, Crown corporations, and departments will now be obligated to prioritize Canadian-made products and services in procurement, replacing what he called “outdated free-trade-era rules” with a clear obligation to use taxpayer dollars to strengthen the domestic economy.
The agricultural and seafood sectors will also see targeted supports, including a $370-million biofuel production incentive and new trade diversification measures for canola, beef, and seafood producers hit by tariffs, particularly from China.
Carney framed the plan as a long-term industrial strategy to position Canada for growth, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre dismissed it as “a big show about nothing,” accusing the prime minister of failing to secure tariff relief and presiding over worsening economic conditions.

Canada’s Immigration Shell Game: Where Are the “Temporary” Residents Going?
Ottawa is hiding something. The Canada Border Services Agency admits it collects entry and exit data on foreign students and temporary workers, but refuses to release how many actually leave when their permits expire. In other words: the government knows, but won’t say.
That silence matters. Canada is in the middle of a population surge unlike anything in its history. More than 817,000 newcomers arrived in just the first four months of 2025, 132,000 as permanent residents, 194,000 on study permits, and nearly half a million on work permits. The number of so-called “temporary” residents has now exploded to nearly 3 million, up from 743,000 less than a decade ago.
Finance Canada itself has admitted the obvious: this tidal wave of migration is straining housing, wages, and healthcare. Yet instead of accountability, we get obfuscation. Immigration Minister Lena Diab openly said the government is depending on foreigners to voluntarily leave when their visas expire. No plan, no enforcement, just hope. Meanwhile, estimates suggest as many as half a million deportees remain in the country. Six hundred convicted foreign criminals are already at large.
Canadians are told to trust a system that doesn’t even track its own numbers. This isn’t “sustainable immigration.” It’s a shell game run by elites who flood the labour market with cheap workers while telling young Canadians to accept unemployment. Youth employment now sits at 53.6%— the lowest since 1998. Whole generations are being priced out of jobs, homes, and healthcare while Liberal corporate allies laugh all the way to the bank.
Prime Minister Carney says he’ll reduce temporary residents to 5% of the population by 2027. But how credible is that promise if his government can’t even tell us how many leave now? Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called for scrapping the Temporary Foreign Worker program outright, pointing out that “Canadian jobs for Canadian workers” shouldn’t be controversial, it should be the rule.
This is the crisis no one in Ottawa wants to confront: a country that cannot enforce its own borders, cannot house its own people, and cannot even publish the truth about who comes and who goes. Until that changes, the words “temporary” and “voluntary” will remain a cruel joke.

Ottawa is hiding something. The Canada Border Services Agency admits it collects entry and exit data on foreign students and temporary workers, but refuses to release how many actually leave when their permits expire. In other words: the government knows, but won’t say.
That silence matters. Canada is in the middle of a population surge unlike anything in its history. More than 817,000 newcomers arrived in just the first four months of 2025, 132,000 as permanent residents, 194,000 on study permits, and nearly half a million on work permits. The number of so-called “temporary” residents has now exploded to nearly 3 million, up from 743,000 less than a decade ago.
Finance Canada itself has admitted the obvious: this tidal wave of migration is straining housing, wages, and healthcare. Yet instead of accountability, we get obfuscation. Immigration Minister Lena Diab openly said the government is depending on foreigners to voluntarily leave when their visas expire. No plan, no enforcement, just hope. Meanwhile, estimates suggest as many as half a million deportees remain in the country. Six hundred convicted foreign criminals are already at large.
Canadians are told to trust a system that doesn’t even track its own numbers. This isn’t “sustainable immigration.” It’s a shell game run by elites who flood the labour market with cheap workers while telling young Canadians to accept unemployment. Youth employment now sits at 53.6%— the lowest since 1998. Whole generations are being priced out of jobs, homes, and healthcare while Liberal corporate allies laugh all the way to the bank.

Cheap Labour, Expensive Lies
Pierre Poilievre dropped a bombshell reminder: “A decade ago, Carney testified that temporary foreign workers prevented Canadian workers from getting raises. Now, he says that’s ok because corporate lobbyists prefer cheap foreign labour.”
Think about that. The man who now runs Canada once admitted the truth, that importing cheap labour suppresses Canadian wages. Today, he shrugs it off, because the donor class demands it.
This is how “temporary” turns permanent. Not just for the workers brought in, but for the decline of Canadian families trying to make ends meet. The grocery clerk in Brampton, the welder in Hamilton, the line worker in Windsor, all forced to compete in a rigged game where the government tilts the field against its own people.
Carney’s government calls this “economic management.” Ordinary Canadians know it for what it is: a betrayal. When your leaders side with lobbyists over citizens, when they import low-wage dependency rather than train and pay their own, you don’t have an economy, you have a plantation for the global elite.
This isn’t about compassion for workers from abroad. It’s about power. Who runs Canada: the Canadian people, or the corporations whispering in Carney’s ear?

🇨🇦🇱🇻 Missing Canadian Soldier Found Dead in Latvia
The Canadian Armed Forces confirmed Saturday that Warrant Officer George Hohl, who went missing earlier this week while deployed in Latvia, has been found dead.
Hohl, a vehicle technician with nearly 20 years of service, was deployed on Operation Reassurance as part of NATO’s multinational brigade. He was discovered Friday, three days after being reported missing.
Latvian authorities are investigating with support from the CAF. Military officials stressed there is no indication his death poses a broader security risk to Canadian troops deployed in the region.
“The loss of Warrant Officer George Hohl has hit us all very hard,” said Gen. Jennie Carignan, chief of the defence staff. “On behalf of the entire Canadian Armed Forces, I offer my deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues. Warrant Officer Hohl will be remembered for his many years of dedicated service.”
Canada currently has around 2,000 troops stationed in Latvia as part of Operation Reassurance, its largest overseas mission. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last month that the deployment will be extended until 2029.

Health Officials Declare ‘Queen of Canada’ Compound a Public Safety Risk
The Saskatchewan Health Authority has declared parts of a former school in Richmound, used as a compound by self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo and her followers, unfit for human habitation.
Officials say the building, housing multiple residents but not connected to the municipal sewer system, poses a risk to public health. Under Section 22 of the Public Health Act, anyone occupying the premises was ordered to vacate. Violations carry fines of up to $75,000 and $100 for every day the order is ignored.
The order applies only to the building, not to the trailers stationed on the site. Police arrested Didulo, property owner Ricky Manz, and 14 others last week after a firearms investigation. They were initially released, but Didulo and Manz were later re-arrested for breaching conditions that barred contact with one another.
RCMP say officers seized 13 imitation semi-automatic handguns, ammunition, and electronic devices from the compound. The group has since relocated, with one spokesperson calling the eviction “inhumane” and “unlawful.”
Local officials say residents of Richmound have long complained of disruption, harassment, and intimidation linked to the group.

🇨🇦 3.1 Million in 2024 — And the Media Says Nothing
3.1 million “temporary” migrants flooded into Canada last year, a historic surge, but not a whisper from CBC, CTV, or Global News. No headlines. No questions. Just silence. Why? Because this isn’t immigration, it’s economic warfare.
Wages down, housing gone, services collapsingall while corporate lobbyists cash in on cheap labour and Ottawa plays dumb. The press isn’t asleep. It’s complicit. Canada is being remade behind your back, and they don’t want you to notice until it’s too late.
