Jamie Sarkonak: Racial discounts for sex offenders undermine justice
One would hope that a justice system would punish rapists equally: Non-white immigrant or white fourth-generation Canadian, they should be looking at a similar jail sentence for that kind of vile crime. In reality, though, rapists who can play the diversity card have a decent chance of getting a Canadian judge to lighten their sentence.
A majority of young Americans said they believe Israel should “be ended and given to Hamas,” according to a shocking poll.
The survey, conducted THIS WEEK by Harvard-Harris polling, found 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 said they believed the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was for “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.”
Seven in 10 (69%) Canadians think that Justin Trudeau should resign as leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada in the upcoming year, ahead of the scheduled federal election in 2025.
Chairman of the Nelson Society says the note was the work of opponents to the abolition to boost their cause
A letter which is said to show Lord Nelson was a racist supporter of slavery is forged, according to the author of a new book.
Chris Brett, the chairman of the Nelson Society, contends the letter was the work of opponents of the abolition of the slave trade who wanted to use the reputation of the hero of Trafalgar after his death to boost their cause.
Only 1.6 percent of newcomers to Canada in 2022 were accepted based on having skills to work in construction, federal data indicates, as the Liberal government defends its immigration levels citing the need for new trade workers to build homes.
Immigration Canada provided the data on Dec. 6 in response to an order paper from Conservative MP Pat Kelly.

Indian sculptor Naresh Kumawat is crafting what will be Canada’s largest statue of a Hindu god.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s call on Tuesday for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war was mindless, reflexive, imitative nonsense. It appears reasonable when hostilities exist between a country and another armed entity to suggest that the hostilities should stop. But this is not simply a magnification of a brawl, a public disorder or an occasion when an argument between two individuals degenerates into reciprocal efforts to inflict physical harm on each other. This was the legitimate reaction of a sovereign nation-state to a brutal sneak attack upon civilians that violated an existing ceasefire. It was even more outrageous than the Japanese attack on the United States in 1941, which was only against military targets, and which began hours before the Japanese ambassador called upon the U.S. secretary of state to say that there appeared to be no good reason to continue negotiations towards assuring peace in the Pacific. The secretary of state, Cordell Hull, on instruction from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, gave no hint that he was aware that war was already underway. U.S. President Joe Biden is waffling because that is what he does, and he has allowed his party to be undermined by woke, Americophobia fanatics; Trudeau has no such excuses, inadequate as they are.

An official in Siberia has said that a promotional image of two men in summer clothing enjoying ice cream in sub-zero temperatures should not be displayed because it was connected to “non-traditional relationships.”
In November 2022, Russia’s parliament passed a law banning “LGBT propaganda,” which criminalizes any act regarded as an attempt to promote what Russia calls “non-traditional sexual relations” in film, online, advertising or in public.
Bait-and-switch diplomacy – promising a superior product and then delivering an inferior one – is a lousy way to run Canada’s foreign policy.
It’s also what best describes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s strategy last week in supporting a United Nations General Assembly ceasefire resolution on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
The study had been given a provocative title — Evil Genius? How Dishonesty Can Lead to Greater Creativity — and the findings were intriguing. Its author, a star researcher at Harvard Business School, had shown that people who lied about whether they’d correctly predicted the outcome of a coin toss were more innovative than their honest peers.
Canadian housing starts plunged 22% in November from the previous month and missed estimates by a wide margin as higher borrowing costs hurt groundbreaking on multiple unit and single-family detached urban homes, data from the national housing agency showed on Friday.
The seasonally adjusted annualized rate of housing starts fell to 212,624 units from a downwardly revised 272,264 units in October, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) said.
… A sharp drop in new building starts will further aggravate a housing crisis in Canada and hurt the popularity of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His Liberal government has made housing its top priority and has announced a series of measures, including a plan to convert federal properties into new homes by March and to identify more public buildings for home conversion.
In previous articles, I have gone into detail about how attending the mosque as a Muslim is different from attending the church as a Christian, as well as my complicated family life as an ex-Muslim Christian. What I want to talk about in this article is my experience with multiculturalism in Britain.
Rishi Sunak has pledged to push for reform of global refugee rules as he warned that failing to tackle illegal migration would “destroy the public’s faith” in politicians and governments.
In a speech in Italy, the Prime Minister said that insufficient action would lead to growing numbers which will “overwhelm our countries and our capacity to help those who need our help most.”
He also warned that malign states were deliberately “driving people to our shores to try and destabilise our societies.”
At COP-28 in Dubai this week, weary international delegates and environmental activists celebrated a “historic breakthrough” in negotiations to stop global warming. For the first time in 32 years of negotiations, an agreement mentions “transitioning away from fossil fuels.”
“Officials from around the globe suggested the deal is an important step towards ending the use of fossil fuels,” Aljazeera reported. Other news outlets called it a landmark and historic development. America’s climate envoy, John Kerry, said the words send “very strong messages to the world.”
He’s correct, but not for the reason he meant. The message is that expectations for these annual conferences are so low that even the most inescapable aspiration is reason to cheer.
