Al Gore draws parallels between Trump 2.0 and early Nazi Germany in speech

Al Gore said there were “important lessons” to be learned from similarities between the early rise of Nazi Germany and the recent actions of the Trump administration, in scathing comments made Monday during remarks about climate change.

During a speech at an event to mark the beginning of San Francisco’s Climate Week, the former vice-president and established climate advocate, said that the Trump administration was “trying to create their own preferred version of reality”, akin to the Nazi party during the 1930s in Germany, Politico reported.

“I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement,” said Gore during his speech at the city’s Exploratorium museum.

Alberta Called. I Shouldn’t Have Answered.

The “Alberta Is Calling” ads first caught my eye in the fall of 2022. They were splashed across Toronto’s transit system, and I was jammed into a crowded subway car on my way home from work. The Alberta government rolled out its $2.6-million campaign to lure big-city folk, fed up with high costs and congestion, to come out west for the promise of a better life.

The promise was alluring: move to a place where you can buy a house, take home a bigger paycheque and spend less time commuting. As a single person renting an overpriced shoebox condo in downtown Toronto, it was a compelling argument.

I don’t see how anyone in their right mind could “miss” Toronto.

Canada election sees record high early voting, figures show

A record 7.3 million people have cast their ballots over four days of advanced voting in Canada’s election, official figures showed on Tuesday, in a possible sign of elevated interest in the 28 April poll.

Elections Canada said its estimated tally for voting from Friday through Monday marked a 25% increase over the 5.8m advanced ballots cast in the 2021 vote.

Canada, a country with a population of 41 million, has 28.9 million eligible voters, Elections Canada said in November.

Military Finds Physical Reality Shatters DEI-Fueled Theories About The Sexes

Ten years have passed since the Department of Defense initiated a social experiment with women in the military. Pentagon officials promised that female trainees headed for previously all-male combat arms units would have to meet the exact same standards as men. Has the experiment played out as promised?

We are about to find out. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s March 30 memorandum calls for a 60-day review to achieve high, uncompromised standards in combat arms units such as the infantry, special operations, and other occupations with extraordinary physical demands.

How Trump’s Canada threats dampened Quebec separatist movement – for now

It was the middle of the night when the Bloc Québécois realized they had achieved the improbable. For weeks, the separatist party in Canada’s francophone province had been campaigning hard to steal an electoral district in Montreal long held by the Liberals.

When the trickle of votes finally stopped on that September evening, the Bloc’s Louis-Philippe Sauvé had emerged victorious by a narrow margin of 200 votes.

Chastened by the loss, the then prime minister, Justin Trudeau, admitted his Liberals had “a lot of work to do”. The defeat reflected a governing party in tatters and a leader losing his grip on power.

Hillary ‘the Russia Hoaxer’ Clinton wants to imprison people for ‘propaganda’

Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is her claim to have graduated from Yale Law School. After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too.

On thin ice: the brutal cold of Canada’s Arctic was once a defence, but a warming climate has changed that

In early February, during the depths of winter, Twin Otter aircraft belonging to the Canadian military flew over the vast expanse of the western Arctic looking for sea ice. Below, sheets of white extended beyond the horizon.

But the pilots, who were searching for a suitable site to land a 34-tonne (76,000lb) Hercules transport plane a month later, needed ice that was 1.5-metres (5ft) thick.

They could not find any. The teams scoured 10 other possible spots, stretching as far west in the Arctic as Herschel Island, five miles off the coast of Canada’s Yukon territory.

In the end, no site proved suitable for a sea-ice landing area. The north, it seemed, was too warm.

It’s not racist to criticise Islam

The University of Sussex was fined £585,000 last month by the Office for Students, the universities regulator, for failing to protect Kathleen Stock’s freedom of speech. In 2021, Professor Stock was hounded out of her job by a censorious mob that accused her of ‘transphobia’. Around the same time, the University of Bristol also refused to defend my own academic freedom, in the name of combatting ‘Islamophobia’.

What’s really behind Larry David’s vile attack on Bill Maher?

Well, it finally happened. Larry David had a full-on Curb Your Enthusiasm moment — not on HBO, but in the pages of The New York Times. His target? Not Donald Trump himself, but Bill Maher, for the unpardonable sin of… eating dinner with him.

Sadly, Mr. David has lost his fastball as a comedian. He fell back on the laughable and hackneyed ‘Hitler’ trope that really has no audience in American political culture except among the most unhinged Boomer liberals (why are the biggest left wing lunatics all so old these days?).

That’s right. The guy who once made millions lampooning the neurotic extremes of elite liberal culture has now decided to embody them. His op-ed was less a political argument than a dramatic public excommunication. Why? Because Bill Maher dared to sit at a table with a former president — a Republican one — and didn’t immediately flip it over.

Belgium’s Easter Quran Hunt Leads to Police Investigation

The residents of the Belgian city of Liège woke up to quite a surprise over the weekend, hardly left by the Easter bunny: hundreds of pocket-sized, French-language Qurans had been distributed throughout multiple neighborhoods by unknown activists.

Concerned locals believe the stunt to be more of a provocation than friendly religious outreach, prompting the Belgian police to actively investigate the incident to find the perpetrators.

SNELL: ‘But the people are retarded…’ Carney’s election would force millions more into poverty

Indian spiritual teacher Osho once said, “Democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people — but the people are retarded.”

His words resonate as millions of Canadians — like Matt Janes, pictured above — prepare to vote for Liberal Leader Mark Carney, who recently unveiled a $130-billion spending plan. The plan echoed Justin Trudeau’s mission to spend Canada into prosperity and offset what he calls “the biggest crisis of our lifetimes.”
