I’ve had enough of the identity politics, political theatre, and bills with nice titles but harmful substance—more taxation, more restrictions, more bureaucracy disguised as virtue.
It’s time for real solutions.
In 2021, I made a promise: if elected, my first private member’s bill would ensure that the tyranny we witnessed during COVID—forced shutdowns, jab-or-no-job mandates, censorship, and lawfare against peaceful citizens—could never happen again.
C-1: The Bodily Sovereignty and Freedom Act
Short Title: Bator’s Bill – An Act to Enshrine Bodily Autonomy, Protect Medical Privacy, and Permanently Prohibit Government-Imposed Lockdowns and Coercive
Medical Mandates
This bill would:
Ban government-imposed lockdowns and emergency orders that override Charter freedoms
Prohibit coercive vaccination mandates and protect medical privacy
Outlaw “essential business” designations—because every business and every Canadian is essential
Prevent abuse of law enforcement powers against peaceful protestors
Hold those accountable who promoted the false narrative of “safe and effective” without scrutiny
This is not an official PPC bill, but it aligns with PPC principles and represents my personal contribution to the conversation on real reform and freedom-based governance.
Two studies appeared this week with results that shouldn’t surprise anyone.
They proved once again that the People’s Party was right about the negative impact of mass immigration – years before everybody!
According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), immigration caps are contributing to lower asking rents in Canada.
When you have millions of people coming to Canada who need housing, and demand for housing greatly exceeds the number of new houses and apartments that are built, prices and rents inevitably go up.
And when immigration levels go down, prices and rents will be lower.
This is just economics 101 of course!
But when I started saying this in 2018 after launching the PPC, all the woke commentators and journalists in the mainstream media said this was racist and far right!
Another study by the Conference Board of Canada concludes that wages are set to increase in Canada as immigration slows.
Duh!
Again, if you import cheap labour from abroad, wages will be depressed.
And when you import less of it, employers will be forced to offer higher pay to attract Canadian workers.
It’s crazy that this was seen as controversial by the whole political and media establishment until not long ago!
We criticize the government’s destructive policies and offer the best solutions, whether they are politically correct or not.
Wouldn’t Canadian politics be more rational if the PPC had more influence?
Landmark Australian Decision: Criticism of Israel is NOT Anti-Semitism
In a landmark ruling, the Federal Court of Australia has affirmed that opposing Zionism and criticising the actions of the Israeli state is not the same as antisemitism.
This ruling is a win for pro-Palestinian voices in Australia who have long been silenced or smeared as antisemitic for simply calling out Israel’s human rights abuses. The court’s clarification means that Australians can continue to speak up against apartheid, occupation, and genocide without being wrongly branded as racist. It reinforces the right to stand in solidarity with Palestinians; a right rooted in justice, not hate.
Justice Stewart explained: “Political criticism of Israel, however inflammatory or adversarial, is not by its nature criticism of Jews in general or based on Jewish racial or ethnic identity… The conclusion that it is not antisemitic to criticise Israel is the corollary of the conclusion that to blame Jews for the actions of Israel is antisemitic; the one flows from the other.”
Universal Basic Income (UBI) isn’t freedom—it’s a costly, centralized distraction. It weakens motivation, inflates markets, and places an unsustainable burden on working Canadians. Most dangerously, it shifts decision-making from voters to unelected elites who want to dictate how we live, what we earn, and what we can own.
As the World Economic Forum famously declared:
Michael’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
A livable UBI in Canada would cost tens of billions annually, potentially doubling federal spending. This isn’t theoretical—BC’s Basic Income Panel confirmed the math. And the funding? It comes from your taxes—diverted from critical services, or worse, added to our already crushing debt. Government handouts don’t come from magic—they come from your pocket.
2. Weakens Work Incentives
UBI undermines the link between effort and reward. In pilot programs across North America, recipients reduced their work by 4–5%, amounting to over 100 hours per household per year. When you decouple income from productivity, you kill incentive. And without incentive, society stagnates.
3. Fuels Inflation & Market Distortions
Dumping money into the economy without adding productivity drives prices up—especially in rent, groceries, and fuel. It’s no surprise that inflation follows “free money.” As everyone chases the same goods with more cash, prices surge, making life harder for those already struggling. UBI doesn’t fix poverty—it reshapes and relocates it.
4. Blanket Relief Misses the Mark
UBI gives the same amount to millionaires and single parents alike. That’s not fairness—it’s fiscal irresponsibility. We already have tools that target help where it’s actually needed. UBI wastes billions on people who don’t need support while short-changing those who do.
5. Doesn’t Fix Real Problems
UBI doesn’t address why people fall through the cracks. It doesn’t build job skills. It doesn’t improve healthcare access. It doesn’t help people overcome addiction or trauma. Studies show no measurable improvements in education, job quality, or health—and the mental-health gains fade within a year.

A Canadian musician who returned to Toronto from his birthplace of Ghana with millions of dollars’ worth of heroin hidden inside false walls of his suitcases has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for what a court-appointed social worker called “an aberration of an otherwise ‘simple life.’”
A jury found Shadrack Oppong-Kyereme guilty in February 2024 of importing 12.2 kilograms of heroin into Canada two years earlier. But Oppong-Kyereme’s sentencing was delayed “due to the backlog of demands” for enhanced pre-sentence reports from social workers, according to a recent decision from Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice.
“Whether or not Mr. Oppong-Kyereme was vulnerable or gullible when he took those suitcases, it does not decrease his moral blameworthiness,” wrote Justice Judy Fowler Byrne.
“Mr. Oppong-Kyereme, to his credit, takes full responsibility for his actions. He understands the gravity of the crime, but also recognizes the impact it can have on others whom he will never meet.”
Oppong-Kyereme, now 39, arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport on a flight from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Feb. 26, 2022.

“He had just returned from a trip to Ghana, where he attended the funeral of an uncle, and Malawi, where he operated a juice and fruit store,” said the judge. “He was directed to the secondary inspection area, where his two pieces of luggage were x-rayed. Having detected something odd on the x- ray, the (Canada Border Services Agency) officer took apart one piece of luggage by opening a false side and found a package that contained suspected illegal substances.”
Oppong-Kyereme was arrested after it tested positive for narcotics. “The heroin was found inside eight separate packages, four in each of the two suitcases,” said the June 26 decision, which notes the drugs were worth between $736,000 and $2,453,360.
He “has been married for two years, but his wife is unaware of his present circumstances,” Jacquie Pemberton, a social worker, said in Oppong-Kyereme’s Feb. 19, 2025, pre-sentence report.
Oppong-Kyereme “has three children from a prior relationship who are eight, 12 and 14 years old. He has parenting time on alternate weekends and during the week and is a constant figure in his children’s lives,” said the judge’s decision.
“When Mr. Oppong-Kyereme addressed the court at his sentencing hearing, his main concern was about his ongoing ability to financially support his children.”
A
Oppong-Kyereme’s father was also “unaware of his charges,” said the decision.
“He has asked that his mother not be contacted for the pre-sentencing report because it causes her to become overwhelmed.”
Oppong-Kyereme immigrated to Canada when he was 17 years old to live with his father, stepmother and their two children, said the decision. “He became a Canadian citizen in 2003. Unfortunately, he did not get along with his stepmother and moved out when he was 18 years old.”
Oppong-Kyereme has worked for himself and an employer, but a 2023 car accident sidelined him. “He is currently receiving insurance benefits as a result of the accident and draws on student loans that he has received,” said the decision.
Oppong-Kyereme, who finished high school in Canada, “recently completed an online course on cyber security and hopes to work in this area,” it said.
Oppong-Kyereme is also a musician, said the decision. “He writes and performs Afrobeats, reggae and high life (a genre specific to Ghana). He made his first professional recording in Ghana in 2010. At times he receives compensation for his music, depending on what platform his music is streamed on.”
Oppong-Kyereme “has a few good friends who describe him as quiet, humble and supportive,” said the decision. “His friends agree he was taken advantage of by his trusting nature. His sister was very surprised by the charges as he was never involved in anything like that before. Mr. Oppong-Kyereme blames his easy-going personality for being ‘stupid’ as he stated, and trusting his friend in Malawi who asked him to take his suitcases to Canada.”
Before the smuggling conviction, his criminal record consisted of one impaired driving conviction from a decade back.
The Crown argued Oppong-Kyereme should get 16 years behind bars. His lawyer suggested a sentence of 10 years would be more appropriate.
The judge noted heroin’s “addictive” and “destructive” nature.
“Heroin trafficking has been described as a ‘despicable’ crime and one that tears at the very fabric of our society,” Fowler Byrne said.
“Even if an illegal drug courier is found to be wilfully blind or naive, it is not a mitigating circumstance.”
In a viral exposé from Rome, travel vlogger Kurt Caz captures what he calls the collapse of European identity—where migrants dominate public spaces, locals feel powerless, and even questioning the chaos earns you the label ‘racist.’
A popular travel vlogger has gone viral after documenting what he calls the “collapse of European identity” in the heart of Italy’s capital. In just days, the video has racked up over a million views—not for Rome’s ancient wonders, but for exposing the city’s descent into chaos, crime, and unchecked mass migration.
The video comes from South African-German YouTuber Kurt Caz, whose 3.3 million subscribers know him for raw, on-the-ground reports from around the globe. But his latest dispatch from Rome hits differently.
“This is Rome? This is Europe?”
“I don’t see a single Italian here. I’m more Italian than any of these people.”
Rome Without Romans
Caz walks viewers through what he calls a city “riddled” with migrants, pickpockets, drug addicts, and NGO-backed vagrants. Italian locals agree, telling Caz that migrants now openly defecate in public, sleep in parks, abuse drugs, and steal from tourists while police look the other way.
In the opening scene, Caz joins a local anti-pickpocket team in Rome’s metro. Within minutes, they catch multiple thieves in action. The culprits—mostly women covering their faces are cornered and confronted.
“These people have no morals. They steal from the elderly, from disabled tourists—and nothing happens to them.”
“You can’t touch them. You can’t push them. But the police don’t stop them either.”
Danger in Broad Daylight
The video shows drug addicts slumped in parks and migrants shooting up near tourist hotspots like the Colosseum. Caz warns viewers that tourists—especially young women—are in real danger:
“Can you imagine two tourist girls walking here at night? These crackheads would rip them apart.”
One local admits to carrying pepper spray after being attacked with a broken bottle the week prior. Another explains that most of the pickpockets are Roma gypsies and migrants from Romania, Bulgaria, and North Africa.
“You don’t want to hit them with your hand,” one man warns. “You might catch AIDS.”
“F*ing Racist!”
At one point, Caz tries to speak with a migrant from Bangladesh who refuses to explain why he’s in Italy. But things quickly escalate when an African migrant throws a drink at Caz and yells:
“We are the world! Your grandfathers took from us—learn your history!”
The confrontation grows tense as the man charges toward Caz, shouting, “F***ing racist!” and threatening violence.
“We’re not in Africa,” Caz snaps back. “Get away from me.”
“These Are the ‘Engineers and Doctors’ You Welcomed”
Reflecting on the scene, Caz calls out the media and politicians who promised that mass migration would benefit Europe:
“This is the thank you you get. These are the ‘engineers and doctors’ they promised you. They hate us—but they want to live in our countries.”
“The real racists are them.”
NGO Complicity: “Because of You, These Criminals Are Here”
In another scene, Caz confronts an NGO activist caring for migrants in the city. When the man demands that his face not be shown, Caz fires back:
“You’re a leftist. You’ve destroyed your country.”
“Because of these f***ing NGOs—these socialist organizations—we have these problems. You protect the criminals and abandon your own people.”
Leftist Protest: “Palestine Flags, Pride Flags, and No Italians”
Later, Caz stumbles into a leftist protest filled with Palestinian flags and LGBTQ pride banners. He’s visibly stunned:
“What a combination. Palestine and pride—what could go wrong?”
“Thousands of Italians out here protesting for a country that’s not even theirs… while their own cities fall apart.”
“This Is Rome in 2025”
The video ends with more confrontations, more pickpockets caught, and more scenes of urban decay—trash, urine, stolen goods, smashed windows, and broken infrastructure.
“Look at the f***ing state of the city. This isn’t Rome—it’s a war zone.”
[Growing up in the ’50s and ’60s, Canadians were regaled with stories of discrimination against Negroes in the SOUTH: they had to use their own washrooms, swimming pools and schools. Equality was the by-word. Discrimination was a horrible thing. Similar ideas were introduced into Canada. Our Charter of [Minority Special] Rights and [Majority limited] Freedoms. Insisted on equal rights. But there was a deceptive weasel clause.Discrimination was alright if it benefited special minority groups. The immigration policies of the Liberals, the Conservatives and the NDP seek the replacement of Canada’s European founding/settler people, but not just replacement, but active repression of the dwindling European people. “Employment equity” and “diversity, equity and inclusion” mean preference for minorities and increasing exclusion of Whites. Special federal subsidies to employers hiring recent immigrants (almost all from the Third World( keep wages low and expecially disadvantages young White seeking jobs. And now, the latest: the federal government — that’s YOUR tax money — is funding a swimming programme for non-Whites only. You’re the victim of discrimination in your own country and are paying for it! — Paul Fromm]
A non-profit organization supported with over $85K in federal funding is delivering race-based swimming lessons.
A non-profit organization supported with over $85K in federal funding is delivering race-based swimming lessons. Several grants have been awarded to support race-specific services, even as public support for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives appears to be declining in Canada and abroad.
Afropolitan Canada describes itself as a bilingual organization that supports lack, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPOC) communities through education, mental health, and life skills. Many of its initiatives, including swimming lessons, outdoor education, scholarships, and youth employment opportunities, are restricted to participants based on race.
The federal government has awarded multiple grants to Afropolitan Canada. In total, the non-profit has received over $85,500 in federal grants since 2021 under the Community Support, Multiculturalism, and Anti-Racism Initiatives, Employment and Social Development Canada, Supporting Black Canadian Communities Initiative, and Canada Summer Jobs.
In addition to race-exclusive swimming lessons, Afropolitain delivers multiple race-specific programs, including outdoor activities, tennis, and a scholarship fund. The initiatives are said to be “culturally responsive” and necessary to address what it calls equity gaps. These approaches reshape public programs like education, healthcare, mental health or justice to prioritize the cultural backgrounds of specific identity groups.
Equity, in opposition to equality, aims to eliminate gaps between groups rather than meeting the needs of individuals without regard to identity. Some proponents of equity even go so far as to reject racial colour-blindness as a form of racism. For instance, its scholarship program states that BIPOC students are more reliant on loans and as they’re more likely to be living below the poverty line. It’s unclear whether the loans are assessed based on family income or race alone.
Programs like these continue to receive grants even as public support for identity politics wanes. A 2021 Angus Reid Institute survey found that only 28% of Canadians support race-based hiring and admissions policies.
More recently, a 2025 poll by Abacus Data and the Canadian Media Producers Association revealed that 91% of Canadians believe it is important to protect Canadian culture and identity, while 58% would support a political party that promotes a unifying Canadian identity.
Despite millions invested in anti-racism strategies aimed at eliminating disparities, government data suggests that feelings of discrimination remain widespread. According to Canadian Heritage, 38% of Canadians report experiencing discrimination, rising to 50% among Indigenous people and 78% among visible minorities. This raises questions about whether identity-based interventions are achieving their goals or inadvertently exacerbating divisions.
The debate isn’t limited to Canada. An analysis of political sentiment indicates a global backlash against identity-based governance. Across Europe and North America, public frustration is mounting over programs seen as exclusionary or out of touch with material needs.
In countries like Sweden, France, and the U.S., working-class voters increasingly reject progressive identity politics in favour of more universal social policies. Canada, however, continues to expand DEI frameworks within federal funding, research-granting agencies, and community programming.
A report by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute documented the growth of DEI frameworks within Canada’s federal research granting agencies, which collectively manage nearly $4 billion in funding annually.
Supporters argue that these initiatives are corrective and time-limited, meant to close disparities caused by historical injustices. However, racial groups continue to report discrimination, while race-based eligibility for social programming ignores a multitude of other factors affecting Canadians.
Dominion Day in Hamilton. About 20 people celebrated Dominion Day with me in Hamilton. They enjoyed my chili — thanks, Diane, for the recipe — to the last drop. We honoured the flag of the REAL Canada, had a reverent Christian grace led by former political prisoner Bill Whatcott and started proceedings with OUR land acknowledgement: “We meet this afternoon on the land our European ancestors obtained by treaty and on which our European ancestors built farms, the city of Hamilton, railways, steel mills, hospitals, roads and schools where before there had been virtually nothing. And we meet with deep pride and with no guilt whatsoever!”
