The hearing for Alberta trustee Monique LaGrange, who was forced to resign over social media posts criticizing gender ideology, has been extended by two additional court days.
The former trustee asked for two judicial reviews into the actions of the Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools (RDCRS) board, which disqualified her from her trustee position and issued sanctions after her social media posts.
A major problem with evaluating the effectiveness of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s $200-billion climate change plan involving more than 100 government programs is that the government keeps retroactively changing the historical record of Canada’s annual industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
Yesterday, rounding out the Trump trial’s second week was testimony from Hope Hicks, former Trump advisor and campaign communications director — yet another trusted aide with whom the former president seems to have had a falling out (hers stemming from disillusionment over the “stop the steal” scheme and the Capitol riot). Hicks still has obvious affection for the Trump family and her old boss, and at times became teary. Testifying in such circumstances is an ordeal.
Everyone wants to talk about what’s wrong with men, whether it’s “toxic masculinity,” “men without work,” “the end of men,” the longhouse, or the need for men to “clean their rooms.” Not so many people, however, want to talk about what’s wrong with women. Even the longhouse complaint is that women are too successful …
I spent one of the happiest years of my life in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Now, I’m afraid I’d be run out of town for being Jewish. Cementing that feeling is a video that’s circulating on X showing one of the newest members of the Leeds City Council celebrating his victory with a cry of “Allahu Akbar.”
In 1981, I got accepted to the University of Leeds for my junior year abroad in England. I was absolutely devastated. I’d had dreams of strolling through the medieval streets and quads of Oxford or Cambridge. Instead, I was being banished to the desolate north to a late Victorian institution.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao was this week sentenced to four months in an American prison for failing to take adequate measures against cybercriminals and terrorist groups on his exchange. For some crypto enthusiasts, there may yet be a silver lining to this sad episode. As crypto goes from being a buccaneering innovator in finance to one of the grown-ups in the room, the increased scrutiny from regulators will weed out some bad apples, in turn enabling a cleaned-up sector to move forward.
However, the incident underscores a tension at the heart of crypto. Created by libertarians angry at the bank bailouts that followed the 2008 global financial crisis, it was originally intended as a new form of money that would operate outside the formal system. Along with new dark web spaces that sprang up around that time, such as Silk Road, its whole purpose was to create an autonomous space where a new economy could emerge. If a few bad apples used it, that was a price worth paying for sticking it to the man. After all, the 2008 crash had revealed plenty of villains in the regulated banking sector.
I thought we had decided, as a society, that women should be free to breastfeed without being gawped at by blokes? That mums should have the right to nurse, wherever they might find themselves, without being irked by dickheads? Well, it seems we’ve changed our minds. It seems we’ve instituted a new rule: that a man’s ‘right’ to hang around feeding mothers counts for more than a mother’s right to feed in peace. And you’ll never guess which ideology is responsible for this trouncing of nursing mums’ dignity? Yep, the trans ideology.
It’s time to call the enemy by its true name.
This spring, thousands of keffiyeh-wearing youth are marching in America’s streets, occupying its college campuses, and proclaiming their allegiance to Hamas, a terrorist organization which has already made its mark as one of the bloodiest, most inhuman and inhumane political armies on record. The chants calling for the killing of Jews and attacks on American ships make it clear that murder is their heartfelt aim.
If you were at the VDARE conference last weekend, or watched it on livestream, you’ll have heard us chuckling about the fact that the expression “anti-white,” which would have drawn puzzled glances or angry snarls a year or two ago, is settling down into normal social discourse.
The United States shared “gobsmacking” evidence with Britain at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic that suggested a “high likelihood” that the virus had leaked from a Chinese lab, The Telegraph can reveal.
Five Eyes intelligence-sharing nations were convened in Jan 2021 to discuss the possibility of a “lab leak”, as the US warned that China had covered up research on coronaviruses and military activity at a laboratory in Wuhan.
In a previously unreported phone call in Jan 2021, Mike Pompeo, the former US secretary of state, presented evidence that supported the lab leak theory to his counterparts, Dominic Raab, then the Foreign Secretary, and representatives from Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

Yossi Cohen told the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) that the Israeli government had approached the Qatari government to work to fund civilian life in the Gaza Strip, something that was formally authorized by the State of Israel.
The policy included funding for health, education, and other aspects of civilian life in the Gaza Strip.
When asked about the initiative and if it was implemented to prevent conflict, or rather an “explosion” from Gaza aimed at Israel, Cohen told MEMRI, “Absolutely.”
A very well-informed friend of many years, a contemporary of mine, wrote me the other day that “The blood libel against Canada of this monstrous fiction of thousands of secretly buried Indigenous victims of residential schools may be the single worst injustice this country has suffered in our lifetimes. It is now a conspiracy of silence involving both federal and provincial governments, the RCMP (shameless and useless as ever), and the media, and ‘let’s be frank,’ (quoting a Soviet diplomatic many years ago whom we both always found rather entertaining in the utter nonsense he used to recite at international meetings), a large section of the public, which knows this to be a falsehood but chooses to side with the silent forces.“
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s suggestion this week that he would use the notwithstanding clause to push through criminal justice reforms would be a landmark moment in the history of the controversial mechanism, experts say.
In an interview on CBC Radio’s The House airing Saturday, defence lawyer Lindsay Board said federal use of Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, known as the notwithstanding clause, would be historic.
“It’s only been done a handful of times at the provincial level. It is incredibly politically significant and would perhaps set a precedent if that were invoked,” she told The House.
Really? A Bombshell? Nope.
It was a day that began with some hope – or was it wishful thinking – that Sadiq Khan might be ousted in London by his Tory rival, heralding a revival in fortunes for party and government.
But it ended with Mr Khan cruising to a comfortable victory and an unprecedented third term in City Hall.
Reality, cold and unflinching, began to dawn the moment results started to come in.
A warning …
There are millions who feel this way but who can’t articulate it so well.
