Donald Trump is going to be sentenced to prison. It’s absurd, it’s unjust, and it’s another body blow to the idea that America is a free republic where dissent is not just tolerated, but welcomed, and any man can get justice, no matter the color of his skin, contents of his wallet, or nature of his political opinions. All that is dead now, or dying, and even though Trump is unlikely actually to serve time, the sentence is coming as inevitably as fall follows summer.
Europe may be fading from global relevance, but its influence is expanding within the US Democratic Party. Today, the party’s core beliefs echo those espoused by the European Union and much of the British establishment – an embrace of censorship, a draconian approach to climate change, support for trans ideology, the championing of race-based politics and, increasingly, hostility towards Israel and Jews.
“Since the Great Replacement is by far the most important phenomenon of contemporary Western societies, and also the most obvious, it is precisely that which one must under no circumstances name. Those who venture to do so must be silenced by any means necessary.”
Renaud Camus is perhaps the most controversial living French writer. To read most media coverage about this gay socialist is to be told that he is a far-right racist. He has been given these labels because he is the progenitor of Le Grand Remplacement, the claim that native populations of Western nations are being replaced. What labels one ought to use when discussing this figure we leave to our readers to decide, but we believe it is better to present Camus’ thought in his own words than to rely entirely on hearsay. In this conversation, Camus elucidates his most (in)famous idea and argues that it is not a conspiracy theory, but a simple fact of post-modernity.
The black Mercedes-Benz with dealer plates cuts us off at the lights on the corner of Highways 7 and 27, in the middle of the Greater Toronto Area, nearly clipping our front fender. It’s deliberate. He sees we’re a cop car. He wants a chase.
Sergeant Mark Walton gives him one. The second the siren wails, the Benz is gone, 180 according to the dashboard radar, 180 in a 70 zone, well past the threshold for stunt driving in Ontario. Weaving through traffic, it careens south down the cloverleaf onto the 407, going well over 200 kilometres an hour. We are in pursuit until the Benz rises to 220, 240 and Sgt. Walton eases up. The situation is too dangerous to continue.
In 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that systemic discrimination is embedded “in all [of Canada’s] institutions,” following two RCMP officers using force to arrest a First Nations Chief. Four years later, the narrative persists that Canada is a systemically racist country.
The refusal of the Supreme Court of Canada to hear the appeal of Jordan Peterson against the outrageous aggregation of injustices that have been inflicted upon him by academic and professional authorities and the lower courts neatly completes the self-exposure of the bankruptcy of our system of protection of civil rights — everyone’s civil rights. This treatment of Professor Peterson, Canada’s leading public intellectual and probably the most famous and esteemed Canadian in the world, is extremely important for what his case reveals and its implications for all Canadians.
Bad government policies force people to make tough decisions.
“We decided to live in our garage.”
That’s what a couple told the Canadian Taxpayers Federation during the recent Debt Clock tour in Alberta.
The drywaller and his wife stopped by to watch the federal debt going up in real-time on the jumbo screen the CTF has bolted to the side of a cube truck, dubbed the Debt Clock.
For more than two weeks, Israelis have been waiting for war. Immediately after the July 31 assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran pledged to retaliate massively against Israel.
So far the main event hasn’t happened. Talks for the release of the remaining 111 Israeli hostages in Hamas’s hands drag on inconclusively and Hezbollah rockets slam into the north, but it’s the fear of Iranian missiles raining down on our homes that most consumes Israelis. We are hoarding essentials and stocking our bomb shelters with canned tuna and bottled water. Nobody dares travel far from home. Nobody wants to get caught in their car, in the middle of a highway, when the sirens wail.
Damned if you do or don’t. So you may as well.
In the climactic scene of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Frodo, and Samwise approach the end of their quest to destroy the great Ring of Power and with it, Sauron’s evil empire. They have survived every kind of danger and have made their way against all odds into the heart of the Dark Land to the volcano, Mount Doom, the only place where the ring can be destroyed.
But having gone through so much, at the last moment, Frodo, who carried the Ring, is finally overcome by the Ring’s greatest danger: It infects the heart, mind, and soul of its bearer with the desire to make its power their own. Standing by the side of the cracks that open onto the seething magma at the volcano’s core, Frodo announces that he will not do what he had pledged to do and that the Ring is now his.
The war initiated against Israel on October 7 by the Iranian regime, along with its proxies and terrorist groups — Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iraqi Shia militias — is far more than a minor skirmish or an isolated act of aggression.
The conflict appears to be a meticulously orchestrated campaign aimed at the total annihilation, at this point, of the Jewish state.
The Liberals have piloted the Canadian immigration system for nearly a decade, and they’ve only abused their time in the cockpit. Turns out, it’s pretty easy to drive the machine into the ground in just nine years.
It’s a shame, because responsible, orderly immigration has been great for Canada, helping create a growing, wonderfully diverse nation with a quality of life unmatched nearly anywhere else in the world.
The patron of a defunct LGBT charity, which encouraged children to question the gender binary, has been charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse.
Stephen Ireland, 40, is facing a total of 37 charges, including rape of a child under 13, six counts of making indecent photographs of children and two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
For 15 of the alleged offences, the founder of Pride in Surrey was jointly charged alongside David Sutton, 26.
A 33-year-old woman has been charged with deliberately contaminating a public pool in Milton with feces.
According to a press release, on Tuesday, Aug. 13, the Town of Milton contacted Halton police about ongoing service disruptions at municipal pools in the Milton Sports Centre and the Milton Leisure Centre.
Const. Jeff Dillon, Halton Regional Police Service media officer, said police were told that on five occasions between Aug. 1 and Aug. 12, someone contaminated the pools with feces and chocolate bars during public swims.
A massive asset manager abandoned an alliance dedicated to crushing cheap American energy. ABC, NBC and CBS didn’t bother telling their evening viewers.
Goldman Sachs left Climate Action 100+, a gargantuan environmental social and governance (ESG) pressure group, on Aug. 13. However, for three consecutive nights, NBC Nightly News, ABC News’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News failed to cover the latest trillion dollar asset manager to leave the Climate Action 100+, MRC Business can confirm.
