John Robson: By Visiting Beijing, Guilbeault Is Making Common Cause With Tyrants

If the Babylon Bee claimed Canada’s environment minister was an official climate advisor to the Chinese communist regime, you’d call it too heavy-handed for effective satire. When he really is on the executive committee of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development which our aid money helped found, you’d call reality too heavy-handed for effective satire.

What is Guilbeault thinking being the only foreign government official on this body? What is his boss thinking letting him? And what does the Politburo even want him for?

This shows how deep Trudeau has his head up Xi Jinping’s butt and the contempt he holds for Canada.

Angry Maui residents slam Biden, hold ‘no comment’ signs during president’s fire tour

LAHAINA, Hawaii — President Biden was greeted with middle fingers, chants of protest and signs that said “no comment” Monday as he arrived in Maui to tour wildfire damage after repeatedly declining to comment last week on the tragedy that killed at least 114 people.

A group of several dozen residents of scorched western Maui heckled Biden’s motorcade shortly after noon local time as it left tiny Kapalua Airport en route to the hardest hit areas of historic Lahaina, which was destroyed on Aug. 8.

The cruelty of Canada’s euthanasia policy

Its liberal Maid programme has been turned into a political weapon

With uncharacteristic humility, I would concede that a few positions I’ve argued fiercely in print might be viable on paper, but in practice are a disaster. The “war on drugs” being a fiasco, years ago I advocated the legalisation of recreational pharmaceuticals. But given the dirty, dangerous, dismal tent cities full of addicts in LA, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland — which have all effectively decriminalised drug possession — it may be fortunate that glib journalists like me don’t control public policy.

Guy who won women’s powerlifting competition could be banned as Canada ordered to change its rules by international governing body

A transgender athlete could be banned from powerlifting after Canada’s union for the sport was ordered to align with the international governing body’s rules on transgender competitors.

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) issued the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) with the ultimatum Monday after Anne Andres trounced her female competitors at an event earlier this month, smirking as she stood on the podium.

IPF rules state that competitors must prove their gender identity with government-issued ID and disclose their testosterone levels, mirroring similar policies by international sports governing bodies.

Poilievre Accuses Liberals of Using ‘Radicalization Rhetoric’ Against Dissenting Voices

“What I really worry about is the increased radicalization of rhetoric by Liberals, particularly Justin Trudeau,” said the Tory leader during a press conference in Ottawa on Aug. 21.

“The nastiness and meanness that they’re directing at people who disagree with their policies, whether it’s Trudeau’s nasty comments directed at Muslim parents, or whether it is him jabbing his finger in people’s faces.”

China’s shocking demographic decline just got worse

The country’s total fertility rate has fallen to a record low

The fall in Chinese birthrates might be the biggest story of the 21st century.

Unfortunately, the data — or lack thereof — has been found wanting. A must-read analysis by Liyan Qi for the Wall Street Journal points out that China’s National Bureau of Statistics “stopped releasing annual data on total fertility rate in 2017”.

Liberals created conditions for housing chaos but blame everyone but themselves.

Ottawa considering a cap on international students to ease housing pressure, says Fraser

Canada hosted more than 800,000 international students last year, according to the government’s figures.

“When you see some of these institutions that have five, six times as many students enrolled as they have spaces for them in the building … you’ve got to start to ask yourself some pretty tough questions,” he said.

 

This “moment of clarity” likely came about because the Globe mentioned publicly that they will shortly be publishing an expose on the abuse of the foreign students program and the Liberals are using the CBC to get ahead of the story.

Don’t forget the LPC have allowed their corporate cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.

Catholic schools in Massachusetts order their 5,000 students to use the names, pronouns, and washrooms of their biological sex

A Catholic school district in Massachusetts has ruled that its 5,000 students must use the names and pronouns they used at birth, in the latest clash between the church and radical gender ideology.

The ruling from the Diocese of Worcester and approved by Bishop Robert McManus is set to affect 21 schools in and around the central Massachusetts city and start when students got back to class for the fall semester.

Under the new guidelines, students must conduct themselves in a manner ‘consistent with their biological sex,’ including the bathrooms they use and the sports teams on which they compete.

Tories face a Jekyll-and-Hyde image problem

Pierre Poilievre’s makeover is the latest instalment of two-faced conservatism—red meat for the base, porridge for the general population—until they win.

HALIFAX—There are a lot of things to be said about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s $3-million makeover, few of them flattering.

It is cynical, it is transparently manipulative, and it is comical. No T-shirt is ever going to turn Poilievre into Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This is hate porn on par with Der Starrer.

Tom Flanagan: Why the Liberals once tried to ban Black immigration

“Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain….”

Oklahoma! is a classic work of American musical theatre. Probably everyone has heard some of the music even if they haven’t seen the stage play or movie. Composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein immortalized the frontier conflict between “the cowman and the farmer” — but they left out a bigger, racially-charged conflict surrounding Oklahoma’s accession to statehood in 1907. This conflict included an inspiring Canadian dimension.

Trudeau says he is ‘moving forward’ with interference inquiry, Poilievre says PM’s holding it back

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists that despite months of delay, his government is “moving forward” with a foreign interference inquiry, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing him of standing in the way.

On Monday, asked by reporters whether the delay in what months ago seemed an imminent announcement of a public inquiry into foreign meddling, was because the Liberals couldn’t lock in someone to lead the process, Trudeau said “no.”

“We continue to work very closely with all opposition parties on making sure that the terms of reference, the person who will be leading it, and the work that is done, is in the best interests of all Canadians… without the kind of partisan toxicity we saw during the fall,” Trudeau said in Charlottetown, P.E.I.

Junior is probably waiting for Xi to approve his choice. They are gonna rag this forever if possible.
