Legault says he’s against multiculturalism because ‘it’s important to have culture where we integrate’

Ahead of Fête nationale celebrations this week, Premier François Legault said he’s against the idea of multiculturalism, saying it is a threat to the French language and Quebec culture.

“It’s important that we don’t put all cultures on the same level; that’s why we oppose multiculturalism,” Legault told reporters Thursday. “We prefer to concentrate on what we call interculturalism, where we have one culture, the Quebec culture, and we try to integrate newcomers. I think new people coming to Quebec add to our culture, but it’s important to have culture where we integrate, especially to our language.”

Makes sense. Rare for a Canadian politician.

DHS Tells Catholic Churches to Prepare for ‘Extreme Violence’

Roe v. Wade has at long last been overturned, and the Left’s response has been predictable: Leftists are pounding the walls and gnashing their teeth with rage and hatred. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Make Mine a Double) has shouted that the decision is “illegitimate” and led pro-abortion activists in chants of “into the streets.” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Unhinged) has proclaimed, “The hell with the Supreme Court. We will defy them!” But no one expects the supporters of Antifa and Black Lives Matter to confine their rage to words alone: even Old Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security paused from hunting for “white supremacists” on Friday to warn Catholic churches to prepare for a “night of rage.”

Mistakes were made: Why Germany may freeze in the dark this winter

If the West can use sanctions and embargoes as weapons of war against Vladimir Putin’s Russia, so can Russia – in retaliation. And that is precisely what is happening.

In recent weeks, Russia, the main supplier of Europe’s imported natural gas, has been making it more difficult – even impossible – for European clients to buy its gas. First it demanded payment in rubles, not dollars or euros; Moscow ended deliveries to Bulgaria, Finland and Poland, allegedly for their refusal to pay in rubles.

Roe’s Demise: What does it mean—and what’s next?

Forty-nine years after it was decided, Roe v. Wade is gone. This morning, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a majority of the Supreme Court decided that “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion.” Roe has been centrally “responsible for the emergence of the conservative legal movement”; conservatives, at least for now, have won that fight.

Ukraine Urges U.S. To Provide ‘Fire Parity’ With Russia As Struggle In East Worsens

Ukraine’s top general has told his U.S. counterpart that his country desperately needs “fire parity” with Russia to “stabilize” the difficult situation in the east, where Kyiv’s forces have suffered setbacks against Moscow’s troops backed by powerful artillery bombardments.

“We discussed the operational situation and the delivery flow of international technical assistance,” General Valeriy Zaluzhniy wrote in an online posting after holding a phone call on June 24 with General Mark Milley, the U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Kyiv has received billions of dollars in aid from its Western partners since Moscow’s unprovoked invasion began on February 24.

JIVANI: Jagmeet Singh’s legacy as Trudeau’s hype man

Singh knows his role isn’t to rock the boat, even if some of his voters want him to.

I never wanted Jagmeet Singh to lead our country. But I did want him to be a competent leader for the NDP.

Unfortunately, after choosing to support Trudeau’s internet censorship agenda, Singh’s legacy will be that of a total failure.

Eighteen killed as hundreds try to cross into Spain’s Melilla enclave

Eighteen people have died after a mass attempt to cross from Morocco into Spain’s enclave of Melilla.

About 2,000 people approached Melilla at dawn on Friday and more than 500 managed to enter a border control area after cutting a fence with shears, the Spanish government’s local delegation said in a statement.

Moroccan officials said late on Friday that 13 people had died of injuries sustained in the incursion, in addition to five who were confirmed dead earlier in the day.

How much influence should politicians have over police?

Controversy erupted this week when allegations came to light that the Liberal government may have tried to interfere in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting where 17 people were killed.

According to RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell’s notes, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said in a phone call that she had promised the Prime Minister’s Office and then-Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair that the RCMP would publicly release information about the weapons the gunman used. Lucki was reportedly angry when the RCMP did not do so.

The Liberal government is alleged to have wanted the information made public to further their gun control agenda. Critics and opposition politicians have accused the government of attempting to use the tragedy for political gain. Lucki, Blair and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have denied that there was interference in the investigation.

Just the CBC running cover. Everyone knows Trudeau lied, it’s what he does.

Drag Queens and the Incoherence of Moral Relativism

Trudeau aroused by Drag Queens

It is a sign of our times that movements have emerged to teach pedophilia in schools and to subject children to drag queen performances. Perversions like this are borne of an insidious attitude known as moral relativism.

As the term suggests, moral relativism is the belief that morality is subjective rather than objective. That is, what is right and wrong varies from person to person instead of emerging from a fixed universal standard, meaning that there are no ultimate moral truths. Before examining why such a view is incoherent, it is worth considering why ordinary people have been seduced into believing it. There are two major reasons. The first is that, because there is widespread disagreement about matters of right and wrong, morality is assumed to be subjective. The second stems from a pervasive attitude that it is “intolerant” to uphold a fixed standard of morality. Both reasons are flimsy.

Social Justice Warriors and Their Greatest Victims

Rittenhouse trial protest. A pedophile, a rapist and a grandmother batterer are “Supermen” to the Liberal-Left.

Why the Left is the worst enemy of every demographic it claims to support.

The delusional sociopaths who identify as progressives are, as usual, just the opposite of what they claim. Everything they are forcing on society today – without our consent, like rapists – has been done before. If they were honest, they would identify as primitive, regressive extremists – even terrorists, for so many people live in abject terror of raising a peep of objection, and for good reason.

Our Russia strategy has backfired … Biden is more likely to be toppled

Whatever the origins of the Ukraine war, the West and Russia are now engaged in a broader confrontation that is not confined to the military struggle: the war has become a competition in pain-tolerance.

This is, as Thomas Schelling wrote, “a conscious process of dirty bargaining”, whereby each side tries to inflict pain and suffering on the other side until one or both yield. Put simply, the West and Russia are playing a violent version of the schoolyard game Mercy. The centrepiece of the West’s effort to inflict pain on Russia is what the historian Nicholas Mulder has called “the economic weapon”, which has been deployed at unprecedented scale. The centrepiece of Russia’s effort to inflict pain on the West is the commodities weapon. In this competition in pain-tolerance, it is not immediate whether the West or Russia has the upper hand.
