Does Bari Weiss Really Oppose Cultural Marxism?

Bari Weiss

Bari Weiss has been waking up for a few years. The liberal columnist famously quit The New York Times in 2020 over its venom against free speech, then started The Free Press, which has 250,000 subscribers. Subscriptions are $8 per month or $80 per year.

Weiss, who attended Columbia University as a “theater kid,” can’t unsee the reality that intersectionalism creates “a caste system” that labels Jews like her “oppressors” on account of their race. Her lifelong positioning among the U.S. ruling class has allowed Weiss to see, earlier than many others, that cultural Marxism’s doctrine of intersectionalism is not only incoherent but totalitarian.

CRISANTI: Proactive responses needed now to combat crime in Toronto

For years now, I have voiced my concerns surrounding the challenges that the Toronto Police Service (TPS) currently faces due to the plummeting number of officers as a direct result of the lack of political support.

From pivotal decisions such as removing School Resource Officers (SRO) in 2017, declining numbers of community officers from priority neighbourhoods, and the implementation of a hiring freeze within the TPS – we have created the perfect conditions for brazen criminal behaviour.

You can write off the Chow years, nothing positive will happen under her misgovernance.

Trudeau has empowered Canada’s pimp lobby

Objectification is never empowering

“You’re all a bunch of feminists, and I hate feminists!” shouted Marc Lépine as he gunned down 14 female engineering students in Montreal in 1989. I first visited the city in 2012 to write about this particularly horrific, misogynistic massacre. And every time I return, I see the terrible toll that unbridled male violence takes on women and girls.

Justin Trudeau has been a disaster for women here. He has done nothing to stem the violence and abuse faced by indigenous women, has made single-sex shelters illegal while supporting the blanket decriminalisation of pimping, brothel-keeping and sex-buying — and all in the name of “freedom and choice for women”.

J.J. McCullough: How you’re supposed to talk about immigration in Canada—and how Poilievre is poised to capitalize

Conventional wisdom on Canadian immigration policy has been shifting so quickly in recent years it can be hard to keep up. Here’s my best attempt at a succinct summary of the narratives that have defined the topic since the mid-2000s or so.

Good read, lots of guilt to go round.

Trudeau’s lunatic EV strategy will cost $6B more than announced, PBO watchdog says

OTTAWA—Canada’s EV-building strategy will cost Ottawa and provinces about $6 billion more than announced, the federal parliamentary budget watchdog says.

A new report released by Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux says a total of $46.1 billion in government spending across the nascent EV supply chain has been announced. But the PBO estimates the total government support for capital and operating expenses to be up to $52.5 billion, which is $6.3 billion or 14 per cent higher than announced.

The eugenics comeback

Should we welcome a new kind of commercial product that will allow some people to have healthier, happier and cleverer children?

Here follows a non-exhaustive list of my genetic flaws. I am short-sighted, more so as I age. I have bunions, dodgy knees and even dodgier shoulders. I have asthma. My skin blisters easily. My hair started going gray when I was in my late teens. I have zero talent for foreign languages, running or music. I am prone to nightmares, as well as to depression and anxiety.

Oh, You Thought This Was About Basketball?

The WNBA has always been a vehicle for left-wing activism. Caitlin Clark is learning that the hard way.

If you were under the illusion that the Women’s National Basketball Association was actually about basketball, the league’s reception of Caitlin Clark might strike you as bewildering. Clark began her professional basketball career in May amid an unprecedented amount of positive attention and energy, with all the makings of the first true WNBA superstar. But from the outset, the world of women’s basketball — both the players themselves and the broader ecosystem of journalists, media outlets, and activists who cover them — made no secret of its hostility to the 22-year-old phenom.

Shattered by Montreal Mind-Control Experiments, but Undeterred in a Suit

Families of patients in a Cold War-era mind-control experiment in Montreal are pressing forward after a recent setback in their class-action lawsuit.

Every weekend was an adventure for Julie Tanny when she was a young girl.

Her father, Charles, made sure of it, surprising his three children with trips and visits to the amusement park. His warmth radiated physically, too, when he would rub his children’s ice-cold feet back to life after a skate at their backyard rink in Montreal.

Israel Gave Work Permits, While Palestinians Planned Oct. 7 Massacre

On the eve of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Israeli authorities had issued work permits to some 18,500 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a body responsible for Palestinian civil affairs. Israel was forced to revoke the work permits for security reasons after the October 7 atrocities carried out by Hamas and thousands of “ordinary” Palestinians.

Canada has welcomed Hamas to settle here.

EV startup Fisker files for bankruptcy, aims to sell assets

Fisker filed for bankruptcy protection late on Monday, as the U.S. electric-vehicle maker looks to salvage its operations by selling assets and restructuring its debt after burning through cash in an attempt to ramp up production of its Ocean SUVs.

The hyper-competitive EV market has seen several companies, including Proterra, Lordstown and Electric Last Mile Solutions, file for bankruptcy in the past two years as they grappled with weakening demand, fundraising hurdles and operational challenges from global supply chain issues.
