Lucki’s gun call wasn’t political interference but new rules are needed: N.S. mass shooting report

A report on the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia says then-RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki’s infamous call to local Mounties was “ill-timed and poorly expressed” — but did not amount to political interference.

The sprawling report calls for clearer guardrails between Ottawa and the RCMP, saying last summer’s scandal “illustrates that misunderstandings about police operational responsibility and ministerial policy responsibility persist within the RCMP and in broader public conversation in Canada.”

Greta Thunberg’s book shows just how empty the climate celebrity is

“The Climate Book” is cleverly labeled “Created by Greta Thunberg.”

The Swedish climate celebrity doesn’t take authorship or editorial credit because the book is a collection of the ramblings of predominantly hard-left political activists.

If this book were released by people aligned with the right, it would have been disregarded as an assortment of conspiracy theories. It covers every woke talking point, from climate refugees to equity.

Pierre Poilievre accuses Liberals of censoring debate on Bill C-11

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was ordered by the Commons Speaker to remove part of a video he put out on Twitter on Thursday accusing the Liberals of trying to close down debate on the online streaming bill.

Lack of data on transit violence amounts to ‘blanket of ignorance’: Toronto researcher

Canada needs standardized data on violence on transit systems to help tackle issues ranging from a lack of mental health supports to eroding public trust, say researchers, citing the recent stabbing death of a 16-year-old boy at a Toronto station as the latest example of random attacks on commuters.

Prof. Murtaza Haider, director of research at the Urban Analytics Institute of Toronto Metropolitan University, said the public should have easy access to such information.

Homeless shelters that lack security are often violent.

David Krayden: Federal Budget Continues to Impose Reckless Climate Ideology on Canadian Farmers

This week’s federal budget spells further disaster for Canadian farmers and the agriculture. While promising money for Ukrainian farmers, the Trudeau government is continuing to insist Canadian farmers reduce their use of fertilizers—only because it is fanatically committed to a climate change crisis scenario that fraudulently insists the nitrogen in fertilizer is hastening that crisis.

Blackie’s Star Offers Stirring Defense Of CBC Completely Ignoring Network’s Fixation On Grooming Children

For those of us who have worked in the Canadian creative sector for decades, it is profoundly worrisome to witness the attacks on Catherine Tait, the president and CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, for defending the CBC’s existence.

Over the course of her five-year tenure, Tait has worked tirelessly to defend the role of the public broadcaster, strengthen its relevancy to all Canadians and expand the accessibility of its programming.

During an era of massive global disruption and a plethora of choices on how and where content can be consumed, Tait’s leadership has provided audiences with stories that entertain, resonate, and connect all Canadians.


Contrary to the Ceeb’s degenerate worldview Child abuse is not a “Canadian story” anyone should be proud of but I suspect the pedophile demographic is the only audience segment the CBC leads in.

Why does working in the “creative sector” always seems to lead back to tax payer dollars. Funny that.

CNN bosses are calling for patience as views plummet 61% while CEO Chris Licht tries to rid network of its woke credentials

CNN’s leadership is preaching patience even though thousands of viewers are abandoning the network during its attempted turnaround, with no indication yet whether it will pay off.

The warning comes just weeks after Discovery boss David Zaslav called out mistakes in new CEO Chris Licht’s attempt to rid the network of its ‘woke’ credentials on top of rumors that Licht might be out of the job by Labor Day.

Cable news ratings are down across the board compared to 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine dominated the news.
