What do journalists mean when they use the term ‘far-right?’

This month, a reader e-mailed to question the use of the term “far-right” in news articles. Who defined this term, and does it not convey an editorial opinion rather than fact?

The reader was referring to coverage of the European Union elections, which took place June 6 through 9. Indeed, “far-right” has appeared in headlines, reported news, analysis, explainers and opinion pieces in The Globe, as in other news media. But how is it different from “hard-right,” “extreme-right,” “alt-right” or just plain “right-wing?”

There’s no nuance about it. It’s shorthand for Nazi.

Inside the crisis facing Canada’s dysfunctional housing market

From any angle you look at it, Canada’s housing market is badly broken.

The promise of home ownership, long the ultimate expression that one had secured a spot in the Canadian middle class, has faded away, not just in the usual suspect cities for real estate exuberance – Toronto and Vancouver – but in towns and communities across the country.

The latest Friday edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, airing on taxpayer-funded PBS, passed around anecdotes of the various levels of panic from Democratic politicians and strategists, after President Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

Howard Levitt: Lack of scrutiny in appointment of Canadian Human Rights Commissioner disturbing

Appointments of judges, arbitrators and, for today’s purpose, human rights commissioners, have real-life consequences. After all, the people who decide things matter.

The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) already had considerable power before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new Online Harms Act, amending the Canadian Human Rights Act, made it the arbiter of complaints about online hate speech. Of course, what constitutes “hate speech” remains open for debate.

Biden: My Debate Performance Was Actually Popular With Undecided Voters

President Biden’s team clearly seems eager to put Thursday’s debate debacle in the rearview mirror. They trotted Joe out to a fundraiser at another wealthy donor’s mansion in New Jersey yesterday and invited him to address the supportive audience in a friendly environment. Rather than avoiding the subject of the gaffe-filled confrontation with Donald Trump and all of the liberal outlets now calling for Scranton Joe to step aside, Biden decided to tackle the subject directly.

He needs to be freed from his vile wife.

The U.S. preoccupation with border security is steadily turning north

For more than a century, Canada and the United States have been justifiably proud of sharing the “world’s longest undefended border,” nearly 9,000 kilometres from ocean to ocean maintained largely by the deep trust between the two countries. The white marble Peace Arch, erected in 1921 astride the boundary line between B.C. and Washington State, has been an international symbol of that co-operation and trust.

Until last month.

Ottawa launches residential school map to help in search for fake graves

The Canadian government has launched a new interactive online map pinpointing the location of residential schools, and experts say it will help in the search for unmarked or forgotten graves of children forced to go to the institutions.

Many residential school buildings have been torn down, paved or built over since the first one opened in Canada in the 1830s and the last one closed in the mid-1990s.

The Indian Residential Schools Interactive Map will help searchers get accurate locations of former buildings.

Time crunch, rules mess could plague a Liberal leadership race

Calls have intensified for Justin Trudeau to resign as head of the party he almost single-handedly pulled back from the brink after a decimating electoral defeat in 2011.

Still, Trudeau has been steadfast in his intention to lead the party into the next election.

Biden holed up at Camp David with first lady Jill, family to discuss campaign’s future: report

President Biden hunkered down with family at Camp David Sunday to discuss the future of his re-election campaign following his disastrous debate performance, according to a new report.

People close to Biden, 81, believe only the president and first lady Jill Biden, will determine the future of his presidency, NBC News reported, citing several top Democrat sources.

I am not hopeful Jill the monster will do the right thing.
