Welcome to Without Diminishment

Introducing a home for plain truths, and the voice of Canada's new right.

There are those who think we can keep pretending things are the same as they were 20 years ago. They act as though the big issues of our time can be defined exclusively in economic or pocketbook terms, and that restricting discourse to the merits of things like tax cuts and deregulation is a sufficient remedy for what ails our country.

They think we can avoid the tough social, cultural, and historical issues that are affecting Canada in very real ways. That if we close our eyes and focus enough on ‘free enterprise,’ the so-called “progressive” paradigm won’t continue to seep into every aspect of our professional and family lives, affecting not just the economic future they all claim to care so much about, but also our very sense of who we are and who we want to be as a people.

This perspective forms the backbone of the conventional wisdom that “serious” people ought to stay out of what they call the “culture wars” and “stick to the issues that matter.” The lines are thus drawn between the acceptable issues and those that are out of bounds.

But we have to be able to talk about the hard stuff, or we’ll continue to cede the narrative – and, more importantly, the policy ground – to progressives who have so effectively owned this terrain for so long. We need a place to explore history and current events with the nuance left in, where we can dive into sometimes-inconvenient facts and data, and where we can propose the hard solutions.

We also need a place to consider the tough questions: Is our nation’s history something to be ashamed of, or to celebrate? More to the point, what, actually, is our nation’s history?

Where is ‘reconciliation’ really taking us and is it compatible with our collective well-being?

Is mass immigration really the only solution to our demographic challenges? And what effect does it have on our sense of cohesion as a society?

Is one’s ethnic background such a determinant of one’s future that individual responsibility is no longer a thing?

What is the role of the education system and what do we do when it conflicts with what parents see as in the best interests of their children?

Are cultural issues really the antithesis of economic discourse, or are they, in fact, an essential aspect of any discussion aimed at a prosperous economic future?

Let’s explore these and many other questions in a genuinely curious way. Let’s go beyond the state and consider the integral role of family and community in shaping the society we want to see. Let’s take an honest look at our past and see what lessons it has for our future. Let’s re-consider the premises so many have unquestioningly accepted and reject those that don’t withstand an intellectually rigorous examination. And yes, let’s touch that third rail from time-to-time to bring issues to the forefront that matter, even if it means taking risks.

We’re here for it, and we hope you are, too.
