Canada’s education sector has become a focal point of debate due to the influx of international students. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has introduced new measures to address concerns that the surge in foreign students is exacerbating issues such as housing shortages and labor market pressures. While these concerns are valid, it is essential to examine the situation from a comprehensive perspective. Immigration Minister Marc Miller unveiled a framework to elevate standards for services, support, and outcomes for international students in Canadian universities and colleges…

In 1954, Lord Russell of Liverpool, the Deputy Judge Advocate-General of the British Army of the Rhine, and legal adviser in the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials wrote his famous book, “The Scourge of the Swastika, A Short History of Nazi War Crimes”.  The British government tried to stop its publication, but failed, and it became a bestseller.

Canada has expelled a top Indian intelligence official, accusing him of involvement in the murder of a Canadian citizen of Indian-origin, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was an activist with the Sikh separatist movement Sikhs for Justice. In response to Canada’s actions, India then halted the issue of visas to Canadian citizens, and, as a reciprocal measure, expelled a senior diplomat from New Delhi.

Ottawa had claimed that it has credible evidence that agents of the Indian government were involved in the incident. Naturally, no one has provided any specific proof, nor are they likely to…

Since 2018, Canada, in complete synchronisation with the United States of America, and under its aegis, has accelerated its anti-China propaganda and hostile actions.  This is not so surprising, since the Canadian attitude towards China has changed over the decades depending on the requirements of the global hegemon of the time. Before the Second…

The dish is back. Justin Trudeau can continue his unspoken campaign to be recognised as the best-looking world leader since Ireland’s Mary Robinson, as he has been re-elected to a third term as Prime Minister of Canada. In many respects this 20th September contest was a non-entity of an election. Trudeau was hoping for a majority, which would mean 170 or more seats, but his...

Relationships between states differ over time, depending on a wide variety of factors. Poland was warmly welcomed into the EU when it got rid of Communism, but its veer towards an unpleasant form of nationalism now makes it a less than desirable partner. Tens of thousands of Portuguese died to kick the French out of their country, and now French citizens have an automatic right...

Ed Lehman is a Canadian Communist,and a comrade of mine. I don’t say such things often or lightly, especially about Westerners. But he became my comrade, and we struggled shoulder to shoulder, for five days. Not in the South American wilderness, not in Afghanistan or Syria, but...

The covert and overt interventions taking place against Venezuela by the United States and its allies are a form of aggression and a violation of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter making the nations involved international outlaws. The attempted coup against...

It is clear the US is pushing the battle line to our door … We can completely regard the US arrest of Meng Wanzhou as a declaration of war against China.” So read an editorial in the Global Times of China on December 6, the day after Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of the Chinese...

The Canadian government finds itself caught in a dilemma of its own making, skewered on the spear of its own hypocrisy, and left to dangle in the wind by its supposed allies, as a result of its demand that Saudi Arabia release a woman who criticised the Saudi women’s rights policies...

Don’t look now, but all of Toronto, Canada will soon be up in arms and ready to defend the inevitable Russian invasion! Okay, maybe not all of Toronto, but the readers of The Star dot com at least. As Vladimir Putin’s evil empire threatens the shores of Lake Ontario, Canadians...

What is wrong with Canada? It's the massive landmass sitting atop the United States that has great potential. But despite her capability to support industrial and civic growth, Canada just maintains the status quo, being a mediocre nation...
