A battle for hope: the brewing campaign clash between the Conservatives and the NDP

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s path to power may be by prosecuting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s past eight years in government, but his road to victory is painted NDP orange.

Appealing to working-class voters in rural and northern ridings — like those held by New Democrats across British Columbia and Liberals in northern Ontario — is part of what Poilievre sees as a winning formula.

Howard Levitt: Many culprits behind rise of antisemitism, including the media

Over the last several years, Canadian employers have increasingly brought in DEI trainers to rid their workforces of conscious, and even subconscious, racism. On the face of it, who can object to diversity, equity and inclusion? it is like objecting to Santa Claus.

Unfortunately, these workshops too often have been hijacked by radical ideologues who pitted races against each other. The unhappy story of Richard Bilkszto, who committed suicide after alleging he was deemed a racist by one such trainer for observing that Canadians are not more racist than Americans, was simply the publicly exposed tip of that iceberg.

Sierra Leone’s drug addicts stealing human bones that they grind up and use in new psychoactive ‘zombie’ drug

Armed police are standing guard outside cemeteries in Sierra Leone to stop drug addicts stealing human bones that they grind up to use in a psychoactive ‘zombie’ drug that is sweeping the country.

The president of the West African nation, Julius Maada Bio, yesterday declared a national emergency over an epidemic of the abuse of ‘kush’ – a highly addictive drug cocktail made up of marijuana, fentanyl, tramadol and formaldehyde.

It has also been claimed that a key ingredient is ground-up human bones, which some suggest is enhances the high due to the trace amounts of sulphur.

Why Pierre Poilievre’s over-the-top attacks on Justin Trudeau are bad for the country

There’s been some criticism of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre because he hasn’t given Canadians much detail about what policies he would adopt to make things better in Canada if he were elected prime minister.

It appears those critics have missed the point. Things will obviously be better if he’s PM because Justin Trudeau won’t be. That is the entirety of Pierre Poilievre’s argument to the Canadian people.

Works for me.

Islands That Climate Alarmists Said Would Soon “Disappear” Due to Rising Sea Found to Have Grown in Size

An amount of land equivalent to the Isle of Wight has been added to the shorelines of 13,000 islands around the world in just the last 20 years. This fascinating fact of a 369.67 square kilometre increase has recently been discovered by a group of Chinese scientists analysing both surface and satellite records. Overall, land was lost during the 1990s, but the scientists found that in the study period of three decades to 2020 there was a net increase of 157.21 km2. The study observed considerable natural variation in both erosion and accretion. Of course, the findings blow holes in the poster scare run by alarmists suggesting that rising sea levels caused by humans using hydrocarbons will condemn many islands to disappear shortly beneath rising sea levels. By means of such flimsy scare tactics, as we have seen in many other cases, desperate attempts are made to terrify global populations to accept the insanity of the Net Zero collectivisation.

GUNTER: Sinking Liberal fortunes prompting NDP MPs to jump ship

In Alberta, 1993 was mockingly referred to as the ‘Year of the Family’ for Conservative MPs.

At the end of the Mulroney era, with Kim Campbell as their unpopular new leader, the province’s incumbent Tory MPs could see the writing on the wall. With Preston Manning and the Reform party on the rise, many sitting Progressive Conservatives imagined it was time to leave politics before voters tossed them out.

Only one in four British Muslims believe Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel, report reveals

Findings show ‘failure of counter-extremism policy’ and confirm a lot of ‘work needs to be done’ to challenge old anti-Semitic tropes (Psst … The problem is called I.S.L.A.M.)

Only one in four British Muslims believe that Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on Oct 7, a major report has found.

46 per cent of British Muslims said they sympathise with Hamas, according to a poll commissioned by the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), a counter-extremism think-tank.

The survey, which is the largest of its kind to be carried out since the Israel-Hamas conflict began, asked a range of questions to British Muslims as well as to the general public.

Meta’s AI image generator accused of racism

Meta’s AI image generator has been criticised for failing to conceive of interracial couples — becoming the latest tech tool to be accused of bias.

The feature repeatedly failed to create pictures of Asian men with white women and vice versa, users complained, despite the company’s white founder, Mark Zuckerberg, being married to a Chinese-American woman, Priscilla Chan.

Denmark: Locals rip up Christiania’s famous Pusher Street

Residents in Denmark’s famous hippie enclave of Christiania on Saturday joined police, the mayor of Copenhagen and the Danish justice minister to tear up cobblestones on the neighborhood’s Pusher Street to make way for a restoration project.

Long revered as a libertarian, hippie paradise, Christiania has been plagued with drug violence in recent years.

Known as Christianites, residents grew weary of the situation and took the drastic decision to close the street last August, after the enclave registered its fourth murder in three years.
