An Ontario trustee has resigned amid several investigations of her social media posts over alleged code of conduct violations.
The Durham District School Board (DDSB) said it accepted the resignation of Linda Stone on March 27.
“At a Special Board Meeting held on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, the Board of Trustees accepted Trustee Stone’s resignation,” the school board said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Progressives are rediscovering old truths about the sexes
Modern revolutions — those we know to have failed — share an impractical conceit. In the minds of their architects, the establishment of a wholly new social contract has meant renovating human nature itself.
France’s revolution, which begat the utopian tradition, was predicated on the assumption that humanity unshackled from superstition and guided by pure reason would enter a new epoch of Enlightenment. That utopian ideal was carried forward by the Paris Commune and, eventually, the Soviets, who sought to erase from the human experience concepts such as property, enterprise, and individuality. Throughout, the revolutionaries’ ambition was matched only by their contempt for the world as it was. Robert Owen, the founder of one similarly ill-fated experiment in utopian design, in America, professed that the social reformer’s goal is to stamp out “that greatest of all errors, the notion that individuals form their own characters.”
Illegal discrimination is still illegal discrimination even if a corporate HR department wraps it in the language of equity and inclusion. As a reminder of this legal reality, the C-Suite might want to review a recent opinion by a federal appeals court, upholding a jury verdict for a hospital executive who says he was fired merely for being a white male amid a workforce diversity push.
On September 11, 2001, Muslim terrorists attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon and would have attacked Congress were it not for the brave people on United Flight 93. They immediately killed 2,977 people, with untold others dying later from injuries, such as lung ailments and cancer. For one brief moment, Americans understood that Islam was engaged in an existential war against the West. That’s a war that began in the early Middle Ages and has continued in fits and starts since then. The latest hot front in that war is Israel, but make no mistake: This is a global jihad, as today’s attack on the St. Patrick’s Easter Mass proves.
Why the UK risks sentencing its next generation of men to life’s scrapheap
Britain has a boy problem. If you are born male today, you are increasingly likely to struggle in school, in the workplace and at home.
The gender attainment gap is not new – girls have been outperforming boys at GCSE level for over three decades now, while the number of women completing degrees has exceeded the number of men since the 1990s.
But solving the problem of underachievement among boys has never been more crucial. Economic growth is stalling, productivity is flatlining and public finances are creaking under the strain of growing benefits bills.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has stated that Europe is now in a “pre-war” state. “I know it sounds devastating,” the Prime Minister said, “especially for the younger generation, but we have to get used to the fact that a new era has begun.” This comes only three weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron floated the idea of deploying French troops to Ukraine.
There is no need to sugarcoat what these European leaders are saying: young people in Europe need to get ready to mobilise. Nor is there any need to sugarcoat how they come across: they are completely out of touch with reality.
More than 400 Canadian artists from the worlds of music, film and literature are denouncing what they describe as “alarming and destructive” anti-trans legislation in an open letter released Sunday by music superstars Tegan and Sara.
The list of stars who signed the letter includes actor Elliot Page, Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle, actress Elisha Cuthbert, folk music legend Neil Young, recent Grammy winner Allison Russell and the two surviving members of classic children’s entertainment act Sharon, Lois and Bram.
“The anti-trans policies taking root in Canada go beyond discrimination — they present a clear risk to the mental and physical well-being of trans individuals throughout the country,” reads the letter.
It’s like a D-List of D-Lists, I mean who are the two surviving members of Sharon, Lois and Bram? Do they swap roles every two weeks?
Hollywood is dying, CanCon is the realm of the undead.
Arrogant snots who preach for the mutilation of children and think they have clout.
The University of California at Berkeley is under fire for allegedly banning white residents from using a community farm on Saturdays in a move one critic slammed as “systemic racism.”
The university told The Post it is investigating claims that the “Gill Tract Community Farm” in nearby Albany offered its space on Saturday exclusively to “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color,” after a complaint with the US Department of Education by the Mountain States Legal Foundation.
Some pictures paint themselves.
On Thursday, March 28th, Donald Trump attended the wake of a New York police officer who had been killed in the line of duty. That same day, Democrat President Joe Biden was joined by two former Democrat presidents, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, at a fundraiser where attendees had to pony up $500,000 to get in the door.
The stark difference between the two events illustrates with painful clarity the divide that has gradually emerged in American society over the past 30 years. It is a divide between an increasingly arrogant elite and the American people they look down their noses at with contempt in their eyes.
Retired U.S. general David Petraeus says the risk of a terror attack in Canada is “elevated” following an attack at a concert hall in Moscow that left 139 dead last week, for which an ISIS splinter group claimed responsibility.
Petraeus told The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson that an attack of such a scale makes the current state of extremism and global instability “very worrisome.”
Recent polls show support slumping for Canada’s prime minister – and fellow Liberals blame a 23pc hike in his flagship Net Zero tax
Justin Trudeau’s political allies have turned on him over his “Net Zero” tax policy, as his Liberal Party slumps in the polls.
The Canadian Prime Minister is facing a rebellion within his own party over the unpopular 23 per cent carbon tax rises, which will see drivers charged more for fuel from Monday.
The federal carbon price is set to bump up from Can $65 (£38) to Can $80 (£47), meaning the extra charge on gasoline will increase from 14.3 cents to 17.6 cents per litre.
Several people were arrested after a heated clash between pro-Palestinian supporters and Toronto police at a Saturday afternoon protest.
Some demonstrators are accusing police of using excessive force in their response, with videos circulating online showing tense and at times chaotic scenes with several violent interactions between protesters and officers.
HA HA!
On March 30, 2024, the Toronto Police stormed into the crowd of peaceful protesters unannounced, kettled people in a tight space, and attacked them with weapons, horses, pushing, and dragging individuals, causing bodily injuries and damage to personal belongings.
