Earlier this week in Ottawa, I sat in the beautiful Bambrick Room of the Library and Archives Canada building and witnessed the Prime Minister of Canada along with his key ministers give sworn evidence to the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions (PIFI).
Punishment for thoughtcrimes is the new normal in Canada.
Americans may wish to look up north to see how the latest attacks on free thought and expression are proceeding. In Canada, governments, universities, and self-regulating organizations regularly attack the core civil rights that have long allowed individuals in English-speaking democracies to flourish and innovate: the right to think and to speak.
Most of you know this by now but if a transwoman takes estrogen, she is biologically a female.
And before you drag “genitals” into this yes, some women naturally have a penis. This is basic biology. pic.twitter.com/k8SJjgCRcL

Have you ever tried to commit genocide? You may well think the answer is ‘no’, but one day you could wake up surprised to find the police knocking on your door and telling you that the answer is actually ‘yes’ – you just hadn’t realised the fact. This, at least, may end up being your fate if you are unlucky enough to live in Canada these days, a country where, so fashionable and du jour has genocide now become, that even the nation’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has recently got in on the act, at least according to this widespread online meme…

Get ready for more collusion hoaxes.
It seems that some wokesters in the New York Times newsroom like Israel even less than they like the United States. But maybe the newspaper’s problems go beyond young staffers who learned in college never to tolerate reasonable viewpoints. With general election season upon us, even middle-aged Timesmen are giving every indication that they’re planning to repeat all the mistakes they made covering the first Trump administration.
COPENHAGEN — In Vanløse community center one Friday night in April, 30 local residents gathered to grill three candidates for June’s European election.
Fueled by hummus sandwiches and mugs of strong coffee, the crowd was lively.
One resident, an older man with a mustache, was concerned about Hungary undermining the rule of law in the EU, in particular. He jabbed a table with his downturned index finger as he called for an end to corruption within the European Union institutions. Another man, this one younger and with a Social Democrat badge pinned to his sweater, stood up and called on the EU to do more to rein in the social media giants he said were blighting young lives.
April 7 was the sixth month anniversary of the October 7 Hamas pogrom and the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas. For those who have been watching this war closely it was particularly disconcerting. It was on that day that the Netanyahu government announced that it was pulling most of its troops out of southern Gaza, a move that left a number of questions unanswered. Was this a harbinger of Bibi’s coalition succumbing to pressure from the Biden administration to end the war giving Hamas a victory? Was it a response to the recent violent demonstrations by the Israeli left in the guise of a demand to bring the hostages home but, like the prewar demonstrations against judicial reform, was actually meant to bring down the government?
Human composting could become the future of American deathcare as support for the method gains traction in several more states.
Also known as natural organic reduction, human composting is an emerging alternative to a traditional burial that speeds up the decomposition process of a human body—which can take years—to only a matter of weeks, turning the body into soil. Advocates view human composting as a more eco-friendly form of deathcare that can provide key social benefits for those mourning a loved one, but the process has drawn opposition from religious groups, who say it violates their doctrine about how bodies should be treated after death.
The bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria was not, as the Iranians claim, simply an attack on a blameless diplomatic mission.
It was a carefully targeted strike on the headquarters of the expansive terrorist network that Tehran has established throughout the Middle East.
The real purpose of the Iranian consulate building, an adjunct of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, was revealed when the Iranians themselves admitted that two senior commanders of the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in the air strike, which has widely been attributed to the Israeli air force.
… Who will fact-check her on this crazy claim? Whoopi seems to be utterly unaware (or deliberately ignores) that support for slavery in the day came not from Republicans – whose party was formed in 1854 to oppose the expansion of slavery.
Despite forecasts for stronger-than-expected growth in early 2024, a majority of Canadians just don’t like where the economy is headed , according to the latest results of a long-running survey of households’ financial outlook.
Two-thirds of Canadians believe the economy is on the wrong track, Maru Public Opinion found in its March survey, with the negative view widely held across most regions of the country.
Albertans were most concerned about the economy’s trajectory. Almost three-quarters said they viewed the economy negatively, a seven percentage point increase from February, followed closely by Ontarians at 70 per cent, a six-percentage-point jump. Just over two-thirds of Quebecers thought the economy was headed in the wrong direction as did 55 per cent of British Columbians.
The New York Times was forced to edit its obituary for OJ Simpson after it provoked reader outrage by saying “his world was ruined after he was charged with killing his former wife and her friend.”
Simpson, the NFL Hall of Fame running back who went on to become a movie star and celebrity pitchman for brand names like Hertz, was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
The Air Canada flight leaving Zurich, Switzerland, a year ago, had some precious cargo aboard — namely 400 kilograms of gold and nearly $2 million US in cash.
It was moved across the Atlantic Ocean on April 17, 2023, just three days after a security firm had arranged for its transport to Canada.
The gold and the money — with a combined value of at least $20 million Cdn at the time — made it to Toronto’s Pearson airport.
Often an insider is found to have been an accomplice to a gang, in this case it is alleged that one guy showed up with a fraudulent waybill and waltzed out with the treasure.
