A trans and non-binary advocacy group failed to cancel the annual Reclaiming Canada conference in Victoria, but prompted a 50K security cost for organizers.
Canada is way behind normal countries in putting these cross-dressers in their place.

Huge majority of York parents fear for Jewish children’s safety in school, survey finds
Since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, parents across Canada have complained that schools have become hostile environments to Jewish students. Now, a survey of dozens of Ontario schools suggests that huge majorities of parents worry about the safety and social isolation of Jewish students.
The informal survey, carried out between May 12 and May 15, comes at a time when school boards, parents and community members are concerned about alleged acts of antisemitism and other forms of discrimination in schools, both on the part of other students and teachers and staff.
Have We Seen the Last of the Trump Trials?
I don’t think so. Or let me at least put it this way: I think those who look at the calendar, look at the negative reaction in much of the country to Alvin Bragg’s patently politicized prosecution of Trump, and pronounce lawfare at an end are overconfident.
What Does the Student Intifada Want?
A recent conference in Detroit revealed its radical aims.
With few exceptions, college and university presidents were slow and ineffective in responding to the protests and encampments on their campuses this spring. Their passivity calls to mind the character Gottlieb Biedermann in Max Frisch’s play The Fire Raisers, who, hearing about a series of local arsons, refuses to believe that the men who manipulated their way into occupying his attic could be the perpetrators. Deceived by feelings of guilt, Biedermann is unwilling to throw the men out or believe that they are dangerous—even when they tell him exactly what they are doing. Remaining in denial to the end, he hands them the very matches they use to incinerate his home.
Chinese Canadian group links two Senators to actions against Canada’s interests
A Chinese Canadian human rights group taking part in Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission (FIC) has linked two Canadian senators to NSICOP’s explosive June 2024 intelligence review.
The submission to Ottawa’s FIC from Chinese Canadian Concern Group points at Senator Yuen Pau Woo, also an intervener with the Commission, and Senator Victor Oh.
NEW: Missouri sues IBM for alleged discrimination against whites, Asians

Is the 2024 Election Trump’s to Lose?
Recently the New York Times published an article claiming that there is an increasingly high probability of a large turnout in the upcoming election cycle. However, in a surprising turn of events, this eventuality would benefit Donald Trump and not, as has been the historical norm, Joe Biden or the Democrats.
What Farage can learn from Canada’s Reform
A Tory government rules over a discontented nation: the polls show it is headed for catastrophic defeat. As the hapless Prime Minister stumbles into one public-relations blunder after another, commentators say that the race has been all but won by the centre-left opposition. Meanwhile, a maverick populist force under the banner of “Reform” emerges to challenge the Tories from the Right: its leader is a quirky character who nonetheless speaks compellingly about issues practically ignored by the political elite. The fledgling party’s sudden rise threatens not to just upend the dynamics of the race but to permanently realign the country’s politics in one way or another.

Taylor Lorenz Explains Why Gen Z TikTok Celebs Ain’t Finna Simp for Joe Biden No Mo
Gen Z influencers who enthusiastically supported Joe Biden in 2020 are turning against the president, reports Taylor Lorenz of the Washington Post.
“If the comment section of my videos are any indication, a lot of people, especially young people, do not want to vote for Biden again,” Alaina Wood, a 25-year-old sustainability scientist and content creator, told Lorenz.
GREEN: Canadians will pay dearly for Trudeau’s carbon tax
Critics of the carbon tax (such as myself) argue that by taxing the energy and material inputs of virtually every element of economic activity, the tax will essentially raise the cost of all goods and services (housing, transportation, food, heating and cooling, health care, etc.) in Canada.
Toronto school board votes to include ‘anti-Palestinian racism’ in discrimination strategy
Toronto District School Board trustees voted Wednesday to include “anti-Palestinian racism” in their broader strategy to combat discrimination within Canada’s largest public school district.
The vote was carried by a 15-to-7 margin and went ahead despite objections from hundreds of Jewish parents and community members, including Larry Maher, a parent of TDSB students, who said the “adoption of anti-Palestinian racism is going to enable those to weaponize against anyone that practices Judaism and or supports Israel. Regardless of ethnicity or religion.”
Rupa Subramanya: I’m Stuck Between the Woke Left and the Nativist Right
During the last few months of 2023, a Hindu temple in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, Ontario, erected a statue of the Hindu demigod Hanuman. The 55-foot statue, which looms over its neighborhood, was built on grounds owned by the temple, paid for with private funds, and violated no building codes.
I’m a Hindu myself—an immigrant from India who came to Canada in 1998 to attend college. I became a journalist and later a Canadian citizen, eventually gaining a reputation as a reporter and conservative-leaning commenter. Like many of my fellow conservatives, I decried government overreach on Covid-19 policy responses, criticized the government of Justin Trudeau, and covered the excesses of the progressive left. I believe passionately in property rights, the rule of law, and the importance of free expression.
Quite a range of responses to her tweet
In the three decades I’ve spent in Canada, I’ve never been as aware of the color of my skin as I am now. As in many places in the West, there seems very little room for classical liberals like me, and I find myself squeezed between the woke left and the nativist right.

WTF?
Watch as Rep. Jaypal (D) and Joy Reid chuckle and call the r*pe of a 13-year-old girl by an illegal “fear-mongering.”
What part about the r*pe of a minor is “fear-mongering” and funny to you @PramilaJayapal @JoyAnnReid?? pic.twitter.com/Q2mDcwlI4d

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals head into summer with lowest share of committed voters since they were elected in 2015
A long-awaited interest rate cut from the Bank of Canada did little to turn around the Liberal party’s poor showing in the polls.
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are heading into the summer recess with their lowest share of committed voters since they were elected in 2015. They trail the Conservatives in all age groups, with men and women, and in all provinces but Québec.
On most top-of-mind issues, including the economy, housing and immigration, Pierre Poilievre and the opposition Conservatives have the backing of many more of those surveyed than the governing Liberals do.
