In a wide-ranging, three-hour interview with podcaster Lex Fridman this week, right-wing pundit and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson challenged the wisdom of US aid to Israel, assailed NATO as a violation of American sovereignty, and rejected what he called a “moralizing” approach to politics, reflecting on his recent interview with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
The police department of San Francisco State University (SFSU) has ruled that charges are “unfounded” and suspended an investigation into last April’s attack on NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines. The action seems odd given the nature of the attack and the denial of Gaines’ right to free speech.
Canadians often chafe at American cultural imperialism, but Canada’s health-care leaders appear set to import American-style wokeness to the country’s medical schools.
Next year, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, which oversees the training and licensure of the country’s doctors, will roll out the newest version of CanMEDS, a physician-education framework that effectively dictates the curriculum at Canada’s 17 accredited medical schools, including McGill University School of Medicine, which I attended and where I now serve on the faculty. The Royal College, established by an Act of Parliament in the 1929, proudly notes that CanMEDS is “the most widely accepted and applied physician competency framework in the world,” surpassing the equivalent system in the U.S.
On February 26, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh announced his resignation, paving the way for the formation of a new Palestinian government. The resignation came in response to pressure from the US administration on the Palestinian leadership to “revitalize” the Palestinian Authority (PA) so that it could assume control over the Gaza Strip after Hamas is removed from power.
We now know why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fought so hard to keep secret the documents revealing scientists Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were fired from Canada’s highest security biolab because of their undisclosed relationships with agencies of the People’s Republic of China.
Tuesday evening’s PBS NewsHour covered last week’s brutal murder of a college student by an illegal immigrant on the campus of the University of Georgia. It began factually but descended into typical PBS left-wing apologia — funded by taxpayers like you.
The NewsHour aired tributes from the president of her sorority, then summarized the case in a forthright manner.
The man charged with the horrifying murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley is an illegal alien from Venezuela who crossed the border in 2022. He lived in NYC, was charged with child endangerment — then was released.

The man who climbed up Mount Sinai Hospital, sparking outrage, accusations of antisemitism and a police investigation, has denied targeting the site due to its connections to the Jewish community, while adding that he won’t be climbing buildings again anytime soon.
In a statement to the Star, the man, who dresses up in a Spider-Man costume during pro-Palestinian protests, said he had no idea what building he was climbing in the incident last month. The statement was relayed to the Star by protest organizers.
It will be described as a bombshell, but the warning signs have been there for many years.
I have long tried to warn people that UK politics was heading in a sectarian direction, but it was too inconvenient for our political and media class to accept my comments. Mass immigration, diversity and multiculturalism have become gods that we are all supposed to bow down to. The difference this time is that this religious sectarian victory is here to stay.
I’ve been openly saying, too, that this new form of sectarianism will lead to the hard-Left Islamist party getting a foothold in Westminster. Again, people chose to ignore me.
This weekend, Canada will play host to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is widely regarded as that country’s most right-wing leader since the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. But don’t expect that detail to come up.
Meloni will be in Toronto this Saturday for a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and it is expected to be a cordial one. Meloni’s visit, reads a news release from the Prime Minister’s Office, will build on the “close relationship” Canada has with Italy, a steadfast ally in “defending democracy around the world.”
The statement is a far cry from the public criticism Trudeau lobbed at Meloni at a meeting of the G7 last year. There, he voiced “concern” about the Italian prime minister’s positions on 2SLGBTQ+ rights, which included plans to revoke parental rights for gay couples with children.
“Far Right”? Then Why not “Far-Left Extremist” for Junior?
A con woman dubbed the “Gucci Goddess” has pleaded guilty to swindling the US Army out of $108 million to buy dozens of homes and luxury cars, in one of the biggest fraud cases the military has seen.
Janet Yamanaka Mello, 57, allegedly created a fake company to siphon US government funds intended for the children of army personnel, according to prosecutors.
Go big or stay home.
As Canada maintains immigration at rates unseen in its history, an increasingly large share of those newcomers are finding that they hate it here, feel hoodwinked by the Canadian government and want to go home.
Last week Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla appeared on MSNBC to warn about the scourge of Christian Nationalism. But as David pointed out at the time her definition of Christian Nationalism left a lot to be desired. In case you’ve forgotten, here’s what she said.
About 70 percent of Canadian youth have been exposed to online hate, says a Statistics Canada report released the day after the Liberal government tabled its Online Harms Act aimed at the problem. The alarmingly high number suggests Bill C-63 has arrived just in time to address a widespread problem, but a closer look at the StatCan survey questions tells another story.
“Hate” is in the eye of the beholder. Survey participants were given no guidance on what “hate” means, and sociologist David Haskell says young people are increasingly taught to perceive hate in comments previously considered offensive, but not truly harmful or “hateful.”
“There is lots of evidence coming from current psychological research showing that educational environments are ’training’ students to experience a phenomenon that does not exist in objective reality,” Mr. Haskell, an associate professor in the faculty of Liberal Arts at Wilfrid Laurier University, told The Epoch Times via email.
On Wednesday, Hunter Biden testified on Capitol Hill and attempted to downplay the threatening text message he sent to one of his Chinese business partners, in which he indicated he was “sitting here with my father” waiting to discuss their deal. He sent the message, dated July 30, 2017, via WhatsApp, to CEFC China Energy executive Henry Zhao.
As Canadians struggle to keep up with rising costs, ‘unconventional’ living arrangements are becoming more common.
Earlier in February, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown announced that 25 students were found to be living illegally in an apartment in a discovery made by the city’s bylaw department. Brown stated at a Committee of Council meeting that there could be about 100,000 residents living in illegal rental units in Brampton and the city intends to crack down on the issue, Toronto Sun reported.
