Geoff Russ: Do not try to humanize the Tumbler Ridge shooter

Tumbler Ridge will never be the same.

As a small town of less than 2500 people, places like the local high school are a daily gathering place for a community in which everyone knows each other. Both teachers and parents can see the future on the faces of their students and children.

The Robot Revolution Is Nigh

Perhaps this article is nothing more than the result of advanced algorithms feeding me a steady diet of sensationalist news and viral videos about automation and technological progress. Or perhaps we really are standing on the edge of a full-blown robotics revolution.

Before dismissing that admittedly dramatic headline, consider how quickly the artificial intelligence revolution took hold. OpenAI’s ChatGPT was released to the public only three years ago. In that short time, AI has gone from novelty to necessity, embedded in nearly every major institution, industry, and facet of modern life.

‘Project Vault’: Trump’s Latest ‘Manhattan Project’ in The Race with China for 21st Century Leadership

President Donald Trump is taking an important page from World War II’s Manhattan Project, when the United States raced to secure supplies of the rare element uranium needed to create the war-winning atomic bomb. When strategic amounts of the element were found in Africa, deep in mines in the Belgian Congo, a “cover” entity called the Combined Development Trust was created by the U.S. to purchase all supplies and thereby deny Nazi Germany access to the coveted uranium.

The 21st Century has changed the concept of the types and amounts of strategic minerals that will be required to protect the nation’s future –and few recognize that need more acutely than Trump.

HUH? Kimmel Says Illegal Immigrants Are ‘Raising Your Children’

Despite his position as a Hollywood elite, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel likes to think of himself as a man of the people who cares for the little guy, but on his Tuesday show, Kimmel made the strange claim that illegal immigrants are “raising your children.”


I bet it’s true in his circles, the same circles that treat tranny kids as statement children.

What are Canada’s gun ownership laws?

A deadly mass shooting at a school in British Columbia is likely to increase scrutiny of whether Canada’s gun laws should be toughened to prevent further attacks.

Nine people were killed and another 25 injured in the attack at Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday, in a remote part of the country that’s about 415 miles (667km) north of Vancouver. The suspect was also found dead with a self-inflicted injury, authorities said.

Currently, gun ownership in the Canadian provinces is largely federally regulated by the government in Ottawa, and there are stricter laws in place than in most US states.

Ford salutes Poilievre’s leadership result, but says ‘you don’t win elections at conventions’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre may have secured the overwhelming support of his party in a recent leadership vote, but cautioned that elections are not won on the convention room floor.

Poilievre secured 87 per cent of the delegates in Calgary last month at the party’s convention, pulling in more than what former prime minister Stephen Harper achieved at his own leadership review back in 2005.

“You don’t win elections at conventions. You win elections across the country, so let’s see what happens if the prime minister decides to call an election,” Ford said on Tuesday.


There’s really no point in the Ontario Liberal Party holding a leadership convention now.

Does Driving a Large, Gas-Powered Truck Make You a Gay Nazi? This Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Thinks So.

Journalists are the worst. Even the ones who don’t cover politics are often incapable of writing normal sentences without flaunting their sneering disdain for normal Americans. For instance, you might not believe us if we told you the Wall Street Journal’s Pulitzer Prize-winning auto critic recently compared Americans who enjoy large trucks with gas-powered engines to Hermann Göring, the Nazi commander who founded the Gestapo and whose “martial flamboyance” fueled persistent rumors about his sexuality. But that’s exactly what he did.

Girl, 12, fighting for her life after being shot in head and neck by Canadian school shooter who murdered nine

A 12-year-old girl is fighting for life in hospital after she was shot in the head and neck by a school shooter in Canada.

Maya Gebala was one of at least two-dozen children and teachers wounded when a ‘female in a dress’ opened fire at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

At least seven people were killed in the shooting at the small town in eastern British Columbia on Tuesday in Canada’s deadliest mass shooting in 40 years.

Poor child.

A reckoning for global warming alarmists is past due

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to repeal the Obama-era “scientific” finding that classified carbon dioxide as a threat to public health and welfare, and empowered the federal government to unilaterally, and virtually without limit, regulate the economy.

But when will there be a national reckoning for those who misled us? None of the dire predictions about carbon emissions throwing us into global catastrophe offered by scientists, politicians, or international organizations over the past 50 years have come true. In the end, the endless string of chilling forecasts failed to terrorize people out of modernity.

WENZEL: Stop calling every conservative a ‘radical’

Extremists-Scream-During-Anti-Jewish-Protest-In-Mississauga

I read The Rising Danger of Radical Conservatism in Canada with genuine interest. The anxiety it reflects is real. Political anger is growing, trust is eroding, and too many conversations now begin from a place of suspicion instead of curiosity. That deserves serious attention.

But the article makes a mistake that has become increasingly common in Canadian commentary. It treats conservatism itself as the danger, rather than distinguishing between a political philosophy and the behaviours that can distort it.

Those are not the same thing.
