More Star Reporters Have Written About Diagolon Than The Group Has Members

Pierre Poilievre has been accused of flirting with Diagolon. Here’s what the extremist group thinks of that

The question of Pierre Poilievre’s ties — real or otherwise — to an extremist online group known as Diagolon are back in the spotlight with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accusing him of welcoming “the support of conspiracy theorists and extremists.”

But does Diagolon actually support Poilievre? The loosely organized online group trades in virulently racist and antisemitic rhetoric and has been described as “extremist” by the U.S. State Department. It is also not shy about expressing its views.

On a tram, you can get off when you wish, but what if there are no brakes…?. Meet the German Caliphate

Islam does not belong in Germany

Erdogan, “the moderate”, said it clearly:

“Democracy is a tram, you take it as long as you need it and then you get off”.

Millions of Muslims in Europe, from where incredible videos arrive, must be thinking something along these lines.

You have to be afraid, very afraid. Maybe one day on Europe’s streets they will also flog women who don’t wear the veil?

The insanity at the heart of the Trump trial

THE INSANITY AT THE HEART OF THE TRUMP TRIAL. Perhaps the weirdest, and by far the most unjust, thing about former President Donald Trump’s trial in New York is that we do not know precisely what crime Trump is charged with committing. We’re in the middle of the trial, with Trump facing a maximum of more than 100 years in prison, and we don’t even know what the charges are! It’s a surreal situation.

J.D. Tuccille: Rampant DEI nonsense to blame for the chaos seizing higher education

With American college campuses convulsed by protests that are anti-Israeli, anti-American and often antisemitic, it’s a good time to ask how students at the country’s institutions of higher education are so profoundly radicalized and hostile to their own society. The answer is that, to a great extent, these schools are the authors of their own problems. They worked hard to politicize students and, at least with some, succeeded.

Parliamentary report on Emergencies Act decision is 18 months past due — and counting

For a committee struck to review an emergency, the approach to reporting back to Canadians has been less than urgent.

The erstwhile group of senators and MPs studying the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act over the “Freedom Convoy” was supposed to present its findings in December.

December of 2022, that is.

Have the wheels come off for Tesla?

There was a time when it seemed Tesla could do no wrong.

In little more than a decade, it went from technology upstart to mass-market carmaker, invested billions in its clean energy business, and saw its value rocket.

But now the company is struggling with falling car sales and intense competition from Chinese brands, as well as problems with its much-hyped Cybertruck.

Lower sales have hit its revenues, and hurt its profits. Its share price has fallen by more than a quarter since the start of the year.


Mandated EV adoption has proven both boon and bane for Tesla.

Communist style Five Year Plans like that favoured by Wacko Trudeau distorted the market attracting rent seekers rather than competitors responding to consumer demand.

Canada Post lost $748 million last year, warns of ‘critical’ financial situation

Canada Post said Friday its financial situation is so grim it could run out of operating funds in less than a year, after the Crown corporation posted another whopping pre-tax loss of $748 million in 2023.

In its annual report released late Friday afternoon, the company predicts “larger, unsustainable losses in future years” without major changes to its operating model.
