The Trump administration has already permanently damaged Harvard

Harvard University is in crisis. The Trump administration has gone for the jugular, attempting to cut off the flow of federal funds. Perhaps most importantly, it has sought to cut this prestigious university off from its economic lifeblood: international students.

But this crisis is largely one of Harvard’s own making. It could have made an effort to avoid having a monolithically progressive campus culture that fostered savage behavior and terrorist sympathies in corners of the student body. It could have worked to ensure that it was not overly reliant on federal funding for its research endeavors and that the university’s financial stability was not contingent upon accepting thousands of international students who are willing to pay full tuition.

Is it known for anything beyond the manufacture of progressives assholes?

Hospital alleges its floors aren’t flat, files $100M lawsuit against builder

Humber River Health is suing the consortium contracted to build and maintain its Toronto hospital for $100 million, alleging that negligent design and construction is creating health and safety problems for patients and staff.

The lawsuit, filed in early April, alleges that a “sizable portion” of the hospital’s floors are not level or flat and that some of the flooring itself is deteriorating.

“Floor levelness is a critical operational and safety issue,” reads Humber River Health’s claim, filed in Ontario Superior Court.

Can’t build subway lines, can’t build streetcar lines, can’t build hospitals, can build a fancy eco barn! Is it graft? Is it societal decline?

Orbán and Le Pen cheer Karol Nawrocki’s election as Polish president

Far-right leaders in Europe have welcomed the victory of the nationalist opposition candidate, Karol Nawrocki, in Poland’s presidential elections, a result that deals a huge blow to the centre-right prime minister Donald Tusk’s reform and pro-EU agenda.

Nawrocki, a conservative historian and former amateur boxer, won Sunday’s election with 50.89% of the vote, final figures showed on Monday, ahead of his rival, Rafał Trzaskowski, the liberal Warsaw mayor and an ally of Tusk, who secured 49.11%.

“Congratulations to President @NawrockiKn on his fantastic victory,” Hungary’s illiberal prime minister, Viktor Orbán, posted on social media, adding that he was “looking forward to working” with the 42-year-old, who has never held elected office.

Oh no! It’s those scary far-right leaders again!

Michael Bonner: It’s time to totally overhaul Canada’s immigration system

So many people want to immigrate to Canada that we can hardly accommodate them all. Our big cities feel cramped, social services are strained, and homeownership is increasingly out of reach for those below the age of 40.

But perhaps the surest proof of too many newcomers is this: 18 percent of all immigrants leave Canada within 25 years and don’t return. Surprisingly, half of those who leave are economic immigrants who were selected because they had skills that our country needs and because they had secured high-wage jobs before arriving here. This phenomenon was analyzed in a 2024 study by the Conference Board of Canada called “The Leaky Bucket.” The study concluded that so many immigrants leave because they have not formed a permanent economic or cultural attachment to Canada, they find better opportunities elsewhere, and the number of annual departures is growing.

Courts ‘reviving blasphemy laws’ after convicting man who burned Koran

British courts have been accused of reviving blasphemy laws after a man who set fire to a copy of the Koran was convicted of a racially aggravated public order offence.

Hamit Coskun shouted “f— Islam” and “Islam is religion of terrorism” while holding the religious text above his head during a protest on Feb 13.

The 50-year-old, who was violently attacked by a passerby during the demonstration in London, went on trial last week, accused of an offence under the Public Order Act.

Secret Syrian intelligence files show missing US journalist was imprisoned by Assad regime

Top secret intelligence files uncovered by the BBC confirm for the first time that missing American journalist Austin Tice was imprisoned by the regime of the now-deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Former Syrian officials have also confirmed Mr Tice’s detention to the BBC.

The US government has previously stated that it believed he had been held by the Syrian government, but the Assad regime continuously denied this, and nothing was known about the details of his detention.

Five Things to Know About Assisted Dying in Canada

Canada’s MAID law, which expanded the right to die to people without a terminal illness, raises ethical and medical dilemmas.

In 2023, one out of 20 Canadians who died received a physician-assisted death, making Canada the No. 1 provider of medical assistance in dying (MAID) in the world, when measured in total figures. In one province, Quebec, there were more MAID deaths per capita than anywhere else. Canadians, by and large, have been supportive of this trend. A 2022 poll showed that a stunning 86 percent of Canadians supported MAID’s legalization.

But in some corners, MAID has been the subject of a growing unease. While MAID in Canada was initially restricted to patients with terminal conditions — people whose natural deaths were “reasonably foreseeable” — the law was controversially amended in 2021 to include people who were suffering but who weren’t actually dying: patients who might have many years or even decades of life ahead of them. This new category includes people with chronic pain and physical disabilities.

Leaked medical report proves Imane Khelif the Mohammedan cross-dresser who likes to beat up women is a biological male

Imane Khelif’s sex-test results from the 2023 World Championships have been published for the first time, with the medical report appearing to indicate that the boxer is biologically male.

Just 36 hours after World Boxing ruled that Khelif, a hugely controversial Olympic champion in women’s boxing at last summer’s Paris Games, would need to undergo sex screening to be eligible for any future appearances in the female category, the document at the heart of this extraordinary saga was released into the public domain.

Boy was I shocked.

‘Nation-building projects’ the new ‘Liberal Party Slush Fund’

PM wants provinces to compete for federal approval of ‘nation-building projects’

There was cautious optimism in the air as provincial and territorial premiers began arriving in Saskatoon to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The first ministers are meeting on Monday, and Carney has said he wants to hear provincial ideas for “nation-building projects.” The premiers and other stakeholders joined Carney for a reception on Sunday night, and the tone ahead of the event seemed fairly optimistic.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith — who has been pushing for Ottawa to meet a number of her government’s conditions to move projects forward — met with Carney during the Sunday night event.

Suspect charged with multiple felonies in attack on Colorado rally for Israeli hostages

A man has been charged with multiple felonies after he allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices to attack a crowd of people who were raising awareness for Israeli hostages in Gaza, injuring eight.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is alleged to have shouted “Free Palestine” as he attacked the crowd on Sunday, in what the FBI is treating as an “act of terrorism”. Soliman was booked into Boulder county jail on Sunday and has a hearing scheduled for 1.30pm local time on Monday.

Officials said there was no indication that the attack was associated with any group. NBC reported Soliman was an Egyptian national, and the White House claimed Soliman was in the US without legal status.

Colorado is an open carry state.

Ottawa and Carney must get serious and listen to the West

If Prime Minister Mark Carney doesn’t listen to the West, it’s going to cost Canada.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe are demanding that Ottawa stop stomping on their provinces’ natural resource production.

Smith is telling Carney to scrap the “no more pipelines” law, Bill C-69, lift the cap on Alberta’s energy and cancel the looming ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles.

EU woke green rules are blocking Europe’s rearmament

By the time the environmental permits are signed off for a new TNT plant in Sweden at the end of this year, Russia will already be producing explosives at a new facility.

Swedish Ballistics (SweBal) is aiming to tap into Europe’s rush to rearm itself by opening what will be the EU’s second factory producing military-grade TNT, used in the production of artillery shells, landmines and grenades.

The firm hopes to produce 4,500 metric tonnes annually by the end of 2027, which will be enough for Europe to produce roughly 450,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition.

Now I understand why Carney wants to hitch Canada’s wagon to the EU. They think like he does.
