So yes, we were being gaslighted during the COVID-19 scare. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s August 26 revelations remove all doubt.
Why, remains a matter of speculation; to attribute malicious intent to the US government and their junior partners-in-deception in Ottawa, would require further admissions from credible officials.
Passenger trains. Freight trains. I’ve got to admit I like them.
They seem so Canadian. At least they used to. Trains no longer bring together people across this vast land like they did.
As kids, in addition to travelling through B.C. and Alberta by train, we would sometimes put coins on tracks and, after the lumbering beasts rolled over them, marvel how the flattened metal turned into something completely different. I only learned later our game was illegal. Sorry about that.
I did ride a freight through Alberta/BC and also took the passenger train back to TO from BC when a teen.
I hitched out west a couple of times. It was the thing to do.
Perhaps it was inevitable that Toronto, the city that has managed to bring down restrictions on all sorts of perfectly normal things, from food trucks to toboggan hills to splash pads, would eventually get to this point.
But still, the sentence is almost too perfect: No dogs in the dog park.
OK, fine, it is not quite that simple. The park in question, Ramsden Park, right across from the Rosedale subway station, has banned pooches brought to the off-leash part of the dog park by professional dog walkers. Again, to be clear: (some) dogs are banned from the dog park.
Toronto is too stupid to be allowed to vote.
“How is my life better?” demands Kareem Lewis, a 32-year-old Canadian software engineer, after almost a decade of Liberal government. “Real wages are flat. The cost of rent as a proportion of your income has increased,” he says. And forget about buying a house. Fed up, he has moved to New York. Always a Liberal backer, he will vote Conservative in the election due next year. Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, is attracting other unlikely voters, too. He has spent much of the summer in factories from British Columbia to Newfoundland, surrounded by employees in hard hats and safety glasses, to cement his lead among working-class voters.

The Liberal Party of Canada is facing a revolt by ministerial staffers, mostly of Arab and Muslim origin, over the Trudeau government’s handling of the war in Gaza and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict generally.
Fifty-two Arab and Muslim staffers working in the Liberal government signed a letter addressed to “the leader of the Liberal Party” that says they will not participate in its byelection campaign to hold on to the seat of LaSalle–Emard–Verdun, left vacant by the resignation of former Liberal justice minister David Lametti.
Referring to “the increasing push for Liberal staff members to phone bank and door knock,” the letter obtained by CBC News warns that “while many of us started our political careers in elections as volunteers, we can no longer in good conscience campaign for a party that excludes us and our values.”
“Death to Israel” = “Stance on Gaza”
This will not get better for the Jews.
Especially if European nations serve as a valid precedent.
Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden, England etc all suffer for having allowed Muslims to settle.
Islam only ever brings blood.
Kamala is not going to take away your gay rights unlike Trump who will take away every right you currently have and send you to work on a chain gang.

A new book by Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official, doubles down on persistent allegations of secret government UFO activities. With several former senior officials and scientists making a series of alarming — and seemingly credible — corroborating claims, Congress must now act to separate fact from fiction.
Fortunately, a legislative remedy is currently working its way through the Senate.
It was a grift from the start.
Robin DiAngelo now joins a growing list of prominent racial agitators, festooned with advanced degrees, who have been exposed as plagiarists. Aaron Sibarium of the Washington Free Beacon has published side-by-side comparisons of segments of DiAngelo’s doctoral dissertation with writings by various scholars. It is apparent at a glance that DiAngelo lifted whole sentences and paragraphs from other authors without attribution. In some places, she made single-word substitutions. Occasionally, she deleted a sentence or two from the original or inserted mid-paragraph a sentence of her own.
Some might find this sensitive, if so move along.

Last week, federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre sent out a tweet in honour of Black Ribbon Day, a European Union-originated day of “Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism.” Because Poilievre is always heavily motivated by making exactly the right people lose their marbles, the text of the tweet read thus :
“On the 85th anniversary of Black Ribbon Day, we remember the victims of Soviet Socialism & National Socialism (Nazism). May we never forget the countless atrocities committed by these socialist ideologies, and may we honour those who fought to liberate Europe. Canada must always stand against socialism for freedom and democracy.”
This I began writing two weeks ago as an overnight guest in a cosy cabin on a farm beside an endless dirt road in the most remote part of the north-western Cape Province in the country of my birth, South Africa. To many eyes this might seem a landscape of utter desolation: hot, dry and windswept scrubland plateau, flat as far as the eye can see but cut by deep, rocky canyons tight with the most intense and diverse profusion of succulents on the planet: flowering aloes, spiky aloes, furry aloes, ground-creeping aloes and the strange giant palm-like aloe, the Quiver Tree.
The distinguished psychologist is wrong about the politics of the university.
The Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is perhaps the most famous academic dissident in the world, having made his reputation opposing the ideological corruption of the universities. And yet, when considering practical reforms, he is stricken with doubt.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Peterson hailed me as a “very effective counter-propagandist” against academic corruption and, in particular, for my successful campaign to oust Harvard’s president, Claudine Gay. But alongside this praise, Peterson expressed concern, even opposition, to my work as a trustee at New College of Florida, where I have helped abolish DEI, terminate the gender-studies program, and establish a new classical liberal arts curriculum.
Vice President Harris and former President Trump are locked in a tight race across seven battleground states as the race for the White House enters the home stretch, according to new polling released on Thursday.
Trump always polls poorly. Part of that is the deep state/media grift i.e. over- sampling of Dems in polls , part is a reluctance by people to speak to pollsters, as always there are many silent Trump supporters.
Long gone are the empty roads and unfilled train and bus seats of the COVID-19 pandemic days.
More Canadians are commuting to work and the average commuting time has returned to pre-pandemic levels, according to new data released by Statistics Canada Monday.
The number of commuters reached 16.5 million this May, up 585,000 compared to the same time last year, the agency said. The data continues a rising trend over the past few years following major declines in 2020 and 2021 when pandemic restrictions kept many workers at home.
I find this number questionable given the traffic disaster TO has become.
