True, Strong and Free: Fixing Canada’s Constitution
John Robson
October 25, 2016
An idea that was born as an article in the Fall 2014 edition of C2C Journal has been made into a video documentary by its author, John Robson. True, Strong and Free: Fixing Canada’s Constitution explains how the solid constitutional framework we inherited from Great Britain was undone by the “botched” amendments of 1982. In defiance of the current political and media consensus that it’s too difficult and dangerous to reopen the constitution, Robson makes a compelling argument that it can and must be reopened to repair the damage to our parliamentary democracy.

Continental Grift: Why the Liberal Government’s Fixation with Europe Is a Sham

Gwyn Morgan

Market diversification is a sensible enough strategy for Canada, but Mark Carney’s fixation on closer ties with Europe is anything but. For one thing, argues business veteran Gwyn Morgan, we’ve already got comprehensive free trade deals with virtually all of Europe. Cozying up further to a dysfunctional, declining EU is pure folly. Far better for the Carney government to focus on Canada’s own self-inflicted economic problems – inflation, taxes, public debt, the disastrous drought in foreign investment. Oh, and the ongoing lack of free trade within our own borders. No need for overseas adventures, notes Morgan; there’s plenty of work to be done at home.

New Man, Same Old Plan: Mark Carney’s Net-Zero Ambitions Remain an Existential Threat to Canada’s Economy

Gina Pappano

To many Canadians, Mark Carney’s apparent transition from climate-change zealot to build-baby-build capitalist has been a surprising though welcome change. But is it real? Recent evidence suggests the prime minister has not abandoned his longstanding fixation with growth-killing net-zero commitments. Exhibit A is his government’s sustainable investment guidelines. Also known as the “green taxonomy”, this little-known effort seeks to label every development project in the country according to its perceived environmental impact, with the goal of directing where banks and investors are allowed to put their money – and punishing industries deemed unworthy. If not abandoned or watered-down soon, warns industry expert Gina Pappano, the green taxonomy will crush economic growth and cripple the current resurgence in Canada’s vital natural resources sector.

From Refuge to Hunting Ground: Why Some Migrant Men Come Here to Rape, and What to Do About It

Margret Kopala

Among the many true things that cannot be said out loud in our era of wokist orthodoxy is that some recent immigrants might be fundamentally different from other Canadians. It’s a taboo that must end if Canada is to avoid repeating the vast wave of sex crimes sweeping across much of Europe. In the concluding instalment of her searing two-part series, Margret Kopala examines the underlying factors behind the horrifying propensity of some recent male migrants to brutalize and sexually assault women in their new country. While many politicians have chosen to turn a blind eye to the problem, Kopala reveals how a popular pushback is finally forcing some Western governments to secure their borders and protect their people.

Hot Ticket: My Role in the (Coming) Downfall of Speed Cameras

John Robson

“La révolution est dans la rue,” as the excitable French like to say. The same holds true in placid Canada. After receiving four photo radar tickets for going just slightly over the speed limit in Ottawa, John Robson declares the current proliferation of automated speed cameras to be a revolution in how Canada’s streets are policed, and an outrageous violation of the principles of fundamental justice. Robson is not alone in his outrage. While Ontario cities eagerly embrace these cash-hungry Robocops – one municipality expects to issue at least one ticket per year to every local driver – the masses are pushing back. In Alberta, for example, the “photo radar cash cow” is already on its way to the slaughterhouse. Robson’s denunciation of speed camera tyranny offers a manifesto for drivers everywhere.

Mob Rule on Pipelines and Grizzly Hunting

John Robson

There was a time in “the true North strong and free” you could follow your dreams as long as you didn’t hurt other people. Then came “social licence” and suddenly, from energy pipelines to the B.C. grizzly bear hunt, things got banned for being unpopular, a.k.a. “socially unacceptable”. That ominous change sets Canada on the well-worn path to the tyranny of the majority, writes John Robson.

Sir John A. Vs. the Vandals Redux

John Robson

Our self-appointed cultural guardians have once again targeted a statue of Sir John A. Macdonald in Charlottetown. To them, Canada’s first Prime Minister fails to meet today’s pristine moral standards and so must be sent down the memory-hole. John Robson thinks Canadians need the confident humility that comes of knowing flawed people can still be giants.
