How woke ideology Is crushing opportunity in Canada
Success should be celebrated, not condemned. Yet across Canada, an alarming cultural shift has taken root: those who work hard, take risks, and achieve something meaningful are attacked not for wrongdoing, but simply for excelling. A warped narrative, fuelled by ideological extremism and the ever-evolving WOKE movement, now treats success as a character flaw. The higher you climb, the bigger the target on your back. And it’s no longer about wealth, it’s about refusing to conf

Manitoba politics hits new low this week
Inside the Manitoba Legislature, every MLA can be addressed as the Honourable Member for their constituency. It is a long-standing parliamentary courtesy meant to signify integrity, seriousness, and respect for their role. Only cabinet ministers, the Premier, and sometimes the Speaker carry the title The Honourable for life, but all members are expected to uphold the standard that title implies when they take their seats. Yet what Manitobans saw again this week looked nothing

Inside Politics: Fake Pipeline Progress in Ottawa, Schoolyard Politics in Manitoba
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s much-hyped pipeline breakthrough and the embarrassing behaviour of Manitoba MLAs shared the spotlight on the latest episode of Inside Politics with Kevin Klein—and neither came out looking good. Klein, joined by Winnipeg Sun columnists Lawrence Pinsky, KC and Royce Koop, opened by giving Carney rare credit for his recent moves on the steel sector and a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on a proposed pipeline

Winnipeg budget 2026 fails firefighter staffing crisis
This is the third column in my series examining the City of Winnipeg’s 2026 budget. Today, we need to talk honestly about fire protection—because the numbers, the experiences, and the consequences can no longer be brushed aside with political spin. In a recent conversation with United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg President Nick Kasper, a troubling picture emerged. It’s one the city’s own audits have been warning about for nearly two decades. The city knows the solutions. They’ve

Winnipeg Budget: The facts behind the Spin Part-2: New Fees Expose City Hall Budget Games
This is Part 2 in our ongoing look at Mayor Scott Gillingham’s budget and the political spin wrapped around it. Winnipeggers deserve straight facts, not talking points shaped to soften the reality of higher costs and shifting responsibilities. When politicians say they are “holding the line” on taxes, most people assume that means their overall household burden is being kept stable. In Winnipeg, that assumption no longer holds. The numbers prove it, and the pattern is getting

Budget Crisis: Canada Nears the Point of No Return on Its Economic Future
Canada is nearing the point of no return on Its economic future. We cannot blame this on Donald Trump or tariffs; this is all on the Mark Carney Liberals. The newest episode of Inside Politics delivered a blunt critique of the federal budget, with host Kevin Klein and panellists Royce Koop and Lawrence Pinsky, K.C., arguing that the document fails to provide any serious roadmap for Canada’s economic future. Rather than focusing on political theatre or close vote counts, the p

The real reason prices are exploding in Canada is not what you're told
The real reason prices are exploding in Canada is not what you're told Facts matter, especially when families are stretching every dollar and business owners are watching margins shrink by the month. Canadians keep hearing that the jump in prices is because of one person: Donald Trump. That line has been repeated so often it has moved from speculation to accepted truth for many. But it does not stand up to evidence. When you trace the price of the clothes you buy, the electro

Gillingham’s budget: The facts behind the Spin Part-1: Data shows Winnipeg water rates near the top in Canada
When the Winnipeg mayor, Scott Gillingham, talks about modest increases, he rarely mentions that Winnipeg’s water and sewer division has become a piggy bank for general spending and is among the highest in Canada. Mayor Scott Gillingham has decided that word games are his preferred tool for shaping public opinion. He speaks as if affordability is something achieved through slogans rather than decisions. He repeats the same lines about keeping costs down while residents watch
