Christopher Dummitt: Don Cherry snub exposes Order of Canada’s partisan, elitist bias

If membership in the Order of Canada were offered to Canadians who significantly shaped our national culture, Don Cherry would have received it long ago. But at age 92, Don Cherry is still waiting.

Love him or hate him — and there are plenty in both camps — Cherry was a fixture in the life of the nation for decades. He wasn’t just a hockey coach and commentator with extravagant suits and loudly voiced opinions; he was also a businessman and philanthropist, a supporter of hockey at all levels and an enthusiast for Canada’s military and its history.

GIESBRECHT: Canada once let Nazis in — are we about to repeat that mistake with Iran’s IRGC?

Canada has a largely honourable history, but we weren’t at our best after WWII, when it came to picking which of the millions of refugees displaced by the war should be admitted, and which we should refuse entry. Many Nazis were admitted, while many Jewish Holocaust survivors were refused. The phrase “One is too many” summarized the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi sympathies of too many Canadian officials and politicians at the time. The Deschênes Commission was established in 1985 to review Canada’s rather shameful attitude at the time, and the fact that many Nazi war criminals were living in Canada.


It is estimated that some 700 regime members may already be resident in Canada which leads me to suspect that the system is compromised by Islamists.

Lid Lifted on the Filthy Manufacturing Secrets Behind the ‘Clean’ Green Power Revolution

The dirty manufacturing secrets behind the ‘clean’ green power revolution continue to pile up. As do the piles of filthy toxic waste growing across a China seemingly keen to supplant traditional energy and auto industries around the world at almost any price. The rare earth elements neodymium and praseodymium provide the best magnets for wind turbines and EVs, but they can arise from the ground at a fearful environmental cost.

A Russian-Linked Arms Trafficker and a Network of Corrupt African Officials Tried to Supply a Mexican Cartel With Anti-Aircraft Weapons

CJNG — already implicated in Iranian-directed death threats against a Canadian politician — was the intended recipient of a $58 million arsenal that included surface-to-air missiles, DOJ alleges.

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors in Virginia have charged four men — a Bulgarian arms trafficker with ties to the notorious Russian weapons dealer Viktor Bout, and several African co-conspirators with connections to the governments of Uganda and Tanzania — with conspiring to supply the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación with a $58 million military arsenal that included rocket launchers, surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft drones, and high-powered explosives the brokers boasted could bring down helicopters.

‘Sympathy is always for the migrant – never for the people paying for them’

All across the West, immigration is consistently named as one of the most pressing concerns of our time. Mass migration has transformed societies. Illegal migration has made a mockery of national citizenship. A populist backlash is upending our politics. And yet, artists and intellectuals have shied away from an honest reckoning with this. Migration is only ever portrayed positively, and the growing public discontent against it is framed as a nativist, racist or even fascist peril. Lionel Shriver’s new novel, A Better Life, dares to ask the forbidden question: what happens when migration isn’t entirely positive for the people on the receiving end?

In Canada, some police are ‘worse than the burglar’ for those defending themselves

The debate over self-defence law in Canada has been thrust back into the spotlight following an incident in Vaughn, Ontario. York Regional Police have decided not to charge a homeowner who shot and wounded one of three armed and masked suspects who had allegedly forced their way into the man’s home. Ontario Premier Doug Ford even weighed in on the case, offering “congratulations” to the homeowner and adding that, “I’m glad you shot the guy.”

In Canada’s Frozen North, With Canada’s Frozen Soldiers

Canadian soldiers transported M777 howitzers to the High Arctic to show their ability to fight in an increasingly contested part of the world. It did not go as planned.

Canada’s military ambitions in the Arctic hinged on a frozen door that wouldn’t open.

Hundreds of troops landing on an island in the High Arctic last month were confronted with wind chill temperatures of minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit, frigid even by the area’s standards. The cold kept the locals in the Victoria Island hamlet of Cambridge Bay indoors, suffused the air with tiny ice crystals called diamond dust, and sealed a 30-foot-tall door at an airport hangar.

“It’s frozen,” said an air force detachment commander, “frozen shut.”

Canada’s Criminal Government Not Tracking Foreign Students After Visas Lapse, Audit Says

Canada’s foreign student program lacks integrity controls to verify ongoing visa compliance, and the government does not track whether students leave the country when their permits expire, the auditor general said.

Karen Hogan’s audit of the program released Monday found that the government was successful in reducing the number of study permits it issued each year but fell short on improving the integrity of the system.


Our government is nothing short of criminal.

Canadians face ‘tsunami’ of transnational repression in coming years because Trump is Hitler cyber-research group says

Canada and the rest of the democratic world are facing a “tsunami” of transnational and digital repression with the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S., the arrival of artificial intelligence and a softening of attitudes on human rights, according to a respected Canadian cyber-research group.

The director of the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy issued the chilly warning in a presentation to be delivered Monday to a House of Commons committee studying transnational repression.


I agree technology inches us closer to a surveillance state every day but The Munk School suffers compulsive onanism.

No, MAGA Is Not Falling Apart Because a Few Podcasters Did Not Get Their Way

Oh no, the America First/MAGA coalition is completely falling apart because – and I want to make sure I’ve got this correct – Donald Trump has systematically destroyed a bunch of Third World semi-human pagan savages who have been murdering Americans for nearly 50 years before they could top a missile with a hot rock and nuke Philadelphia. Yeah, the coalition is gravely disappointed – but not in Trump. It’s disappointed that a small component of his coalition that, for reasons that remain elusive and probably involve extreme greed, a psychotic break, gross stupidity, and/or libertarianism, which is an amalgamation of all three, has decided to adopt views that are functionally identical to those of the damn communists. This is both inevitable and unsustainable.
