They also discuss integration, Canada’s principle-based culture and whether rapid population growth is putting too much pressure on institutions that were never built for this pace of change.Support the channel: www.youtube.com/@WesternStandard?sub_confirmation=1»»» Subscribe to the Western Standard: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscription?utm_source=youtubeFor breaking news, videos, opinion and in-depth coverage: https://www.westernstandard.news/?utm_source=youtubeFollow the Western Standard on X: https://x.com/WesternStandardFollow the Western Standard on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westernstandardonline/Sign up for Western Standard newsletters: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/788568/130204520588249083/shareSupport independent journalism in Western Canada: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscription
