Feds halt deportation of B.C.-based climate activist

Illegal alien climate asshole

A B.C.-based climate activist scheduled to be deported over the weekend has had his removal stayed after a federal minister intervened in his case.

Zain Haq, 23, was scheduled to be deported to his native Pakistan on April 22, while being nearly a year into a spousal sponsorship application with his B.C.-born wife. Haq, who co-founded the group Save Old Growth, caught the attention of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) in 2022 while protesting and speaking to the press about Canada’s climate policy.

Oxford University college scraps St George’s Day event but will host Eid dinner

A University of Oxford college that traditionally hosts a St George’s Day celebration has been accused of replacing it with Eid for the second year in row.

Magdalen College had held an annual formal dinner to remember England’s patron saint, attended by dons, students and fellows.

But this year only a banquet for Eid, the Islamic festival marking the end of Ramadan, has been advertised.

Inside the Los Angeles highway houses

Caesar Duarte didn’t flinch as an Amazon truck barreled down the busy 110 Freeway in Los Angeles, missing his makeshift home by just a few feet.

The only thing that stood between Duarte’s outdoor kitchen and speeding vehicles was a three-foot retaining wall and metal fencing.

The 44-year-old mechanic and house painter said he has learned to deal with the danger and noise since he erected his homestead by the freeway about four years ago.

Three auto theft convictions should result in three years in prison, Pierre Poilievre says

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says repeat car thieves should not be allowed to serve their sentence “in their living room watching Netflix.”

Poilievre released a new policy today that insists the current Liberal government goes too easy on people who steal cars.

He says a Conservative government would make sure auto thieves spend at least three years in prison if they are convicted for a third time, and ban house arrest for those convicted of an indictable offence.

Boeing aims to bring flying cars to Asia by 2030

TOKYO — U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing plans to enter the flying car business in Asia by 2030, looking to tap demand for the fast, short-distance travel the vehicles could provide in the region’s traffic-choked cities.

Boeing Chief Technology Officer Todd Citron revealed the plans to Nikkei.

The company is developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) craft at subsidiary Wisk Aero. The aircraft will adopt autonomous technology, rare among eVTOL craft.

Canada’s immigration dilemma — not enough workers or not enough homes

The federal government’s decision to bring in fewer newcomers in the next few years due to the housing crunch could create labour shortages and inflationary pressures on some areas of the economy if the right balance isn’t maintained, says an analysis by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

Why Is Judge Juan Merchan Refusing to Honor Trump’s Due-Process Rights?

The principal duty of judges in the United States is to protect Americans from government overreach. Judge Merchan is doing the opposite.

I observed in a post this week that, compared to some of Donald Trump’s other recent complaints about Judge Juan Merchan, there is more substance to his grousing about the judge’s denial of his request that the trial be adjourned for a day so that he may be in attendance at the United States Supreme Court next Thursday, April 25. That’s the day the justices will hear argument on the question of whether the former president has immunity from prosecution in the 2020 election-interference indictment brought in Washington, D.C., by Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith.

There are competing legal and practical considerations here.

Biden Admin’s Title IX Rewrite Obliterates Female Spaces, Free Speech, And Due Process

The Biden administration’s Department of Education unveiled a sweeping set of rules on Friday that effectively erase protections for sex-based spaces by expanding the Title IX prohibition against sex discrimination to include “gender identity” — a term that’s never mentioned in the original law.

A majority of Americans agree that males who claim to identify otherwise should not be allowed to infiltrate girls’ and women’s sports teams. As of now, some 25 states have laws or regulations aimed at keeping boys and men out of female-only spaces, on and off the field

From Dante to Solzhenitsyn—The Worst Thing about Progressive Ideology

‘Third degree interrogation’ from Drawings from the Gulag by Danzig Baldaev.

For centuries, Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy has been regarded as one of the great works of Western civilisation. As a discussion on justice, human nature, the soul, redemption, and the ultimate battle between good and evil, the poem tells the tale of the author’s dreamlike journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. During his travels through Hell, Dante finds that the ninth circle of Hell is reserved for traitors—those who had betrayed their own. This inner circle is not a fire, but a frozen wasteland, devoid of anything that might resemble love or compassion. In the very centre, Dante finds Lucifer himself, eternally gnawing on the bodies of Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius: history’s most infamous traitors. By this, Dante seeks to convey to his reader that, even though there are many evils in this world (there are multiple circles in Hell), the worst evil lies in betrayal.

You’re Only as Free as Your Oppression

We are two years and spare change away from the American semiquincentennial which will celebrate 250 years since some brave men ratified the foundational document of our nation.

The Declaration of Independence’s bold assertion that the people were “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights” is all the more relevant in the age of relativism where fewer people believe in a ‘Creator’ or in unalienable rights. That radical document is why America remains the only place on the planet where freedom of speech is absolute.

How Antifa went mainstream

From Brussels to California, illiberalism is thriving

In early 2018, I attended a reading at an independent bookstore in the heart of bourgeois Brooklyn. It was to launch the memoir of a Mexican-American former Border Patrol agent who had become disillusioned and quit. To the surprise of most of those present, a group of aggressive protesters also showed up, dead set on preventing it from happening. Their objection was to the author’s prior employment in a law enforcement agency that had become central to Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
