5 minute read Saturday, Jun. 13, 2026There’s a rule in nature that you can’t only do one thing. If you dam a river to make hydroelectricity, you will impede the fish trying to swim upriver to spawn. If you drain wetlands, flooding usually increases elsewhere. If you remove trees from steep slopes, erosion results.
In December, last year, Canada experienced the truth of that rule in another way. That’s when Parliament passed Bill C-3 to extend citizenship to those born outside of Canada.
The new rules retroactively restore Canadian citizenship to someone who was born outside of Canada before December 15, 2025 and who can prove that an ancestor, such as grandparent or great-grandparent, was a Canadian citizen on or after January 1, 1947.
Called the Act to Amend the Citizenship Act, the bill was designed to fix a problem that arose after an Ontario court ruled the “first-generation limit” on citizenship was unconstitutional.

5 minute read Friday, Jun. 12, 2026Canada’s parliamentary budget officer says the FIFA World Cup is estimated to cost Canadian taxpayers $1.066 billion to host 13 games over 38 days.
That’s $82 million a game, or $28 million a day.
The majority of the funds will go toward operating the games, staging the venues, and paying for security and services, like the RCMP.
About 12 per cent, or $126 million, will go to infrastructure primarily in two buildings: BMO Field in Toronto and BC Place in Vancouver.
