Bilingualism and multiculturalism don’t come cheap – so let’s stop the nonsense

We need more fairness for qualified workers, not more immigration

December 20, 2011 Politics

Only too often we hear people say, “Canada needs immigrants.” But that’s not quite correct. Canada needs skilled and talented people to become more productive.

Oslo tragedy is a product of political correctness and political corruption

July 26, 2011 Society
