Watch: New year, 'new right'

The newsletter returns for 2026.

Happy New Year, all. Parliament may not be resuming for a few weeks, Ontario Premier Doug Ford may not be returning from a self-appointed Christmas break until March 23rd (!), but the need to drag this country, kicking and screaming, out of a decade-plus of denial waits for no man.

We’ve stayed busy around these parts, and I wanted to highlight in particular a chat I just had with friend, collaborator, and “Ralph Lauren nationalist” Kate Marland, where we get into detail on what we’re hearing from Canada’s conservative youth movement, and how we’re hoping to help better represent generation(s) who can’t afford to be left behind any longer.

Watch embedded below. (And remember: subscribers can take advantage of my promo code for 20% off.)

And, if you have yet to subscribe to Without Diminishment — where myself and fellow co-founders Geoff Russ and Caroline Elliott are lucky to have Kate joining us as a contributing editor — we just opened the year with Geoff Russ on David Eby:

Geoff Russ: Don't tell British Columbians to not worry about property rights

As well as with yours truly, on the selfishness and astonishing hypocrisy behind the Canadian left’s response to “black-bagging” a ruthless dictator:

Alexander Brown: ‘Black-bagging’ a communist narco-terrorist who steals elections is not bad

In addition: Over the Holidays, I was thankful for the opportunity to again get to sit down with Conservative MP and Shadow Immigration Critic Michelle Rempel Garner, to talk the Official Opposition’s efforts to right the ship on the policy disaster that sits upstream of nearly all other policy disasters.

It was an honour to join the House of Commons’ Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration to end 2025, but I can’t pretend I liked what I heard from the other members who don’t call the riding of Calgary Nose Hill home. There is much more to come in the fight for Canada’s record youth unemployed, as TFW and IMP (International Mobility Program) addicts jockey shamelessly for more cheap and exploitable labour, to the detriment of our workforce, existing historical crises to infrastructure, healthcare, and housing, and to our very social cohesion.

Regular posts at Acceptable Views resume this week, with a missive on the way for paid subscribers.

As ever, thanks for being here.

Here’s to making change in 2026, and to the pursuit of what is good, and true, for a country that used to believe in both, and believe in itself.
