Tears, anger as Toronto City Council debates honouring Christianity

December will be Christian Heritage Month in Toronto – but only after a surprisingly emotional half-hour at City Council.

After Gord Perks unspooled a rant about Canada and its history with the Christian faith, a tearful Lily Cheng, who represents the Willowdale ward, rose to tell council: “Christianity saved my life.”

Pete Hegseth, a longtime Fox News host and war veteran, sports a large Jerusalem Cross on his chest and the Latin inscription Deus Vult, which translates to “God wills it.”

Mississaugastan Held Their Yahya Sinwar Memorial Rally Despite Much Huffing & Puffing

Rosie DiManno: We need to hear more from Mississauga’s mayor on Hamas controversy

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish is no stranger to contempt-signalling.

She’s called Americans “bastards,’’ referred to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq as a “coalition of idiots,’’ stomped on a George W. Bush doll and was kicked out of the Liberal caucus for describing then-prime minister Paul Martin as “weak.’’ That was in her MP era.

Which is merely to suggest that theatre of the absurd is right in the mayor’s wheelhouse.


This is a good rant by Rosie DiManno of the Star against Mississaugastan Mayor Carolyn Parrish but as I posted on X  it misses the mark.

Where DiManno and others go wrong is in their refusal to recognize that Parrish isn’t the problem her constituents are.

Instead we get over the top outrage at the Nelson Mandela slur and a recitation of the memorial creators prolific Islamist lunacy.

Parrish and Firas Al Najim are good lightening rods for Rosie’s Two Minute Hate but they’re the symptom not the disease. Islam is.

Parrish is loathsome but she’s not stupid and knew her Islamist support base would back her against demands to ban the Sinwar memorial and nothing says that better than yesterday’s videos of the Sinwar celebration (See below).

I can’t wait for Justin Trudeau’s statement of outrage.

If Oct 7 has taught us anything it is that support for Israel’s destruction has deep and wide support among the Muslim diaspora, our schools, universities and the political elites.

Will anything be done about Carolyn’s constituents?

You know the answer.

The elites who enthusiastically imported and continue to coddle the Islamists now cosplay their support for the Jews while simultaneously condemning our Islamophobia.

You and I are expected to serve as props in what amounts to an elite power struggle.

No thanks. I refuse to be cannon fodder for an elite who have demonized me as an Islamophobe and smeared me as a racist oppressor in their DEI struggle sessions.

Word of advice, fear who may follow Parrish as mayor and make sure any solution you offer to deal with Carolyn’s supporters includes Mass Deportation.


PS. I get Mandela is a Liberal Totem*  but please. h/t Patti Jo for the vids.

Geology is racist, claims university professor

Lecturer links science to ‘white supremacy’ and and colonialism

Calls itself Kathryn Yusoff

The study of the Earth’s rocks and natural resources is racist and linked to “white supremacy”, according to a geography professor at a leading UK university.

Kathryn Yusoff, an academic at Queen Mary University of London, said the hard science subject of geology was “riven by systemic racism” and colonialism.

She also suggested palaeontology, the study of prehistoric life through fossils, was partly to blame for racism, labelling it “pale-ontology”.

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT just turned 13. Why we still don’t how this teen went off the rails

Turning 13 is a milestone year. A teenager at last and gaining a bit of independence. Making friends, perhaps riding the subway alone, well on the way to becoming an adult. Thirteen is advanced enough an age that the phrase “a lifetime” begins to have weight behind it.

Construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT recently had its 13th anniversary. This saga already feels like a lifetime, but this is a real milestone: Toronto has a teenage construction project. If the Eglinton Crosstown construction were human it would be heading to high school soon, perhaps picking up some babysitting gigs to make a little cash. That would help since it’s so over budget.

How did the Kamala Harris campaign blow $1 billion?

Where did it all go? Yes, the money. That billion dollars.

It is the question being asked this week as the final figures from Kamala Harris’s failed presidential bid come in and the financial post mortem begins; strategists and consultants picking over the Democrats’ cash-corpse, discussing exactly how it was spent and how they would have spent it differently.

New immigrants less happy than longer-term Canadians, poll finds

A new poll from Angus Reid finds a majority of Canadians still consider themselves to be happy, but that number has been decreasing in recent years. What’s more, non-white and new Canadians seem to be faring the worst in the growing trend of unhappiness.

The survey questioned more than 1,600 adult Canadians last summer, resulting in a margin of error of plus or minus two per cent, 19 times of out 20. It found that 61 per cent of Canadians identified themselves as “very happy” or “pretty happy” in their lives, with the over-55s leading the pack at 68 per cent.

German Greens Advocate “Women Only” Train Carriages

Antje Kapek, the transport policy speaker for the Green Party in Berlin, has called for the introduction of train carriages for exclusive use by female passengers. This follows a shocking upsurge in serious sex crimes on trains and buses, with Berlin alone experiencing the equivalent of more than one such assault every day. Frankfurt is heading in a similar direction.

Cory Morgan: Canada Should Follow US Plan to Slash Government Bureaucracy

Bureaucracies and civil services have long been sacred cows in North America. Politicians pay lip service to finding inefficiencies and reducing the size of the government, but rarely make cuts for fear of a political backlash.

That may all be about to change as President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk to head the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), together with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump isn’t showing any indication the department will be a token creation, as he referred to it as “The Manhattan Project of our time.” He plans to act swiftly with government reforms and the actions taken will impact public policy in Canada.
