A new poll released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) shows that 59% of Canadians oppose the federal government’s plan to ban the sale of new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035.

“The results of the poll are clear: Canadians don’t want the government to ban new gas and diesel vehicles,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director.

Shhhh, Trump Is Winning!

Everyone that watches election cycles long enough knows that the only moment that counts in a campaign is Election Day when the ballots have been counted.

Sadly in 2020 it took some states with far fewer ballots than Florida two to three times longer than Florida to count the ballots.

Ironically it took until the exact amount of lead by Trump was established, then a miraculous dump of ballots being delivered around 2-3am that would then be weighted 100 to 1 against Trump(or some similar proximity) and by sunrise, in a state were counting had been stopped, Trump’s lead would have evaporated and he somehow lost.

School Trip To Ontario Place

So many photos. Not sure what grade this is all I know is it was a school trip Kathy’s class took to Ontario Place which was considered kind of a big deal back then.

Not sure what that look means.

My house is a wreck with stuff stacked everywhere.

But it’s the much needed Big Sort and I am assembling stacks of like stuff i.e. magazines etc. with her articles etc.

Most of this was packed up at Dundonald and hasn’t seen the light of day since.

That’s why there are so many surprises.

At times it is exactly like reading someone’s mail.

I found a stack of her fan letters and am getting pretty good at that smile.

I told her often that she had many fans who cared deeply for her.

She knows now.

Collin May: The lessons we should have learned from October 7

On the first anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, it’s worth looking back at the lessons we learned, or should have learned, over the past year.

First, it’s always appropriate to remember what happened a year ago. In a surprise attack, Hamas terrorists stormed across the Gaza-Israel border, torturing, raping and killing over 1,200 Israeli citizens and foreign nationals. Hamas also took 251 hostages — some have returned, some have been killed and many remain captive.

David Coletto: The Liberal Party’s base may now be just 7 percent of Canadians. A hard look at the numbers

For decades, the Liberal Party of Canada has been described as Canada’s “natural governing party.” It’s a centrist party in a country that’s rarely, if ever, been governed from the extremes. But over the past year, the Liberal vote share has fallen off a cliff. Our latest Abacus Data survey, released yesterday, has the Liberals 22 points behind the Conservatives nationally and even trailing the NDP by three points outside of Quebec. This has left many asking: where’s the bottom?

Geert Wilders: We Will Not Let Our Country and Continent Be Destroyed

The hatred of extreme left-wing agitators and parts of the left-liberal elite in politics and the media against our Jewish compatriots and the State of Israel since the barbaric massacre of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023, has directly fueled anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews.

It started immediately after October 7 with inflammatory demonstrations of millions of people with false flags and slogans in many European capitals, including many non-Western immigrants, who thereby demonstrated that they do not share any of our values ​​and do not belong here. Then followed the betrayal at universities and in parts of our media and politics. Both nationally and internationally, from the [Netherlands] House of Representatives to the EU and UN, as well as in newspapers and on TV. Every day again. There are now even police officers who refuse to protect Jewish objects and instead of being fired on the spot, their cowardly police chiefs show understanding.

The Real Choice in This Election

Americans should ask themselves which candidate trusts voters enough to show himself, warts and all.

In a 1971 essay entitled “The Bible,” Ken Kesey wrote about what he felt was the most important of questions, the one he felt the Bible addresses: do we treat those around us as tools to be used or as people bound together with us and with God?

To make his point, he asked his reader to compare two artistic views of American forests. One view used to frequently grace the pages of magazines back in the ’60s and ’70s — ads by Weyerhaeuser, the wood products corporation, in which they touted their good stewardship of their forests. Their ad was accompanied with a picture of a nice forest scene, replete with nice forest animals — entirely nice, entirely serving their point, which was to make their products attractive in a time when there was much concern over damage caused by foresting practices then in vogue. It was all nice.

Jesse Kline: How woke progressivism drove a surge in antisemitism in the West

The Hibachi Vagina Nazi Remains A Fave Among the Pantheon Of Crazies

Hamas’s October 7 massacre was shocking, not just due to its barbarity, but the reaction it elicited on the streets of liberal democracies, with masses of westerners actively cheering on the slaughter of innocent civilians and siding with a genocidal terrorist organization. As the first anniversary of that horrific day approaches, a new book sheds light on the morally bankrupt ideology that has caused many of our elites to turn their backs on liberal values and forge an unholy alliance with religious extremists.

Religious Science

Spiritually inclined scientists are rediscovering a vision imbued with a sense of human values—and mystery.

Suzie Bohlson sits in a sun-drenched California plaza, a pale, slight 53-year-old with a Ph.D. in biology from Notre Dame. Fifteen years ago, she converted to Catholicism, a surprising choice, perhaps, for a young woman from Los Angeles raised in a family of materialist scientists.

Though her grandfather was a Lutheran minister in rural Pennsylvania, religion was seldom discussed in her family’s Los Angeles home. Her father taught at UCLA, where her mother earned four degrees. “Physics was my father’s religion,” she says with a slight smile. “I was raised with the belief that reality was physics, chemistry, and biology.”

LILLEY: Terror supporters show their true colours in Toronto

As most Canadians went quietly about their Saturday afternoon, thousands of their fellow citizens took over the streets of Toronto in support of terrorists. The chants, the flags, the signs were all to mark the start of several days of commemoration of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks one year ago.

America’s most dysfunctional city has finally come to its senses

Portland’s ‘open-air asylum experiment’ is largely over, making the city – with its fantastic food scene – an appealing holiday option again

I get off the bus at SW 6th Avenue, a handsome tree-lined street at the heart of downtown Portland. The site of the notorious former open-air fentanyl market outside an abandoned shopping mall, where until last year the strong and very cheap synthetic opioid was being freely traded, is now boarded up. The streets are quiet. On the next block I admire the handsome, historic facades of the US National Bank and Wells Fargo buildings and the securely-fenced new Midtown Beer Garden throngs with smart professionals seeking lunch from a score of food carts.

I find her enthusiasm premature.

Jewish students say anti-Israel Oct. 7 events at Montreal campuses set to celebrate Hamas

Independent student groups formerly affiliated with Montreal’s McGill and Concordia universities have sparked outrage with a planned coordinated campus “flood” to mark the first anniversary of the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel, which Hamas dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood.”

The event, promoted as a commemoration of “the historic breach of the colonial border wall and a year of Palestinian resistance,” encourages students to walk out of class and “flood” the campus in protest of what organizers call “a year of genocide.” Promotional materials feature an image of Gazans celebrating atop a stolen Israeli military vehicle on October 7 — a visual that many interpret as glorifying acts of terror.

No surprise there.

Kevin Sorbo Schools Whoopi: I’m Proof of New Hollywood Blacklist

Whoopi Goldberg attempted to fact check “Chuck” alum Zachary Levi on “The View” this week.

Let’s hope the “Sister Act” alum doesn’t give up her day job.

Levi, speaking at a Reclaim America event in Michigan, said coming out as a Donald Trump supporter could be “career suicide.” Goldberg used her “View” perch to allegedly set him straight.

“From the beginning of Hollywood, it’s always been a very right-leaning town, but I know you don’t know much about the Hollywood history, so let me school you…
