Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, are set to begin a three-day tour of Canada this week that will focus on Indigenous reconciliation and climate change — and on connecting with a Canadian public that is increasingly skeptical of the monarchy.

Canada’s home-ownership class war is just getting started
What’s coming is the economic stratification of Canadian society caused by the huge gulf between owning a home and renting one.
There it was, in the April 8 edition of The Vancouver Sun, the juxtaposition of two different stories that perfectly illustrated Canada’s coming class war.
Let’s call it the great divide.
One side of that divide was on Page 2 with a blurb for the regular video feature, ‘Conversations that matter.’ In it, a guest is invited to talk about issues in their field of expertise. The guest in that day’s edition was Nicole Garton, a lawyer specializing in wills and estates.
Her topic?
GUNTER: Yet more Liberal falsehoods surrounding the convoy have been debunked
When members of the Trudeau government insist they relied on advice from police before they brought in the Emergencies Act in February to clear a truckers’ convoy from downtown Ottawa, they’re, um, not being exactly truthful.
Slavery and Abortion Have More and More in Common
We learned to live without slavery. So it will have to be with abortion.
Can we learn to live without “abortion rights”? That’s the question we need to answer calmly and rationally in the furor erupting over the Supreme Court’s leaked draft opinion that concludes: “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled.”
It is a troubling part of the human condition that an unjust practice can be kept in place long after its injustice has been exposed.
We argue earnestly that because we have relied on it for so long, it is now an indispensable part of who we are and of how we live. We convince ourselves that we can’t change it.
Nova Scotia shooting: First-hand accounts heard in probe of Canada tragedy
In April 2020, a gunman posing as a police officer went on a shooting spree in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
It left 22 dead, including a pregnant woman, a primary school teacher, a 17-year-old teenager and a police constable. A public inquiry is now looking into how Canada’s worst mass shooting unfolded.
First-hand accounts from responding officers, as well as witnesses and experts, have helped paint a picture of a “vindictive” gunman who methodically killed his victims, sometimes setting their homes ablaze and shooting their pets.
But despite the details from their statements, the joint federal and provincial inquiry has left many questions unanswered at the halfway point of its public investigation.
Bjorn Lomborg: UN disaster report is a reporting disaster
A new United Nations report reveals the disturbing news that the number of global disasters has quintupled since 1970 and will increase by another 40 per cent in coming decades. It finds that more people are affected by disasters than ever before, which has prompted the UN Deputy Secretary General to warn that humanity is “on a spiral of self-destruction.”
Astonishingly, the UN is misusing data, and its approach has been repeatedly shown to be wrong. Its finding makes for great headlines but just isn’t grounded in evidence.
Time to preemptively boot Turkey out of NATO
If you’ve been following the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, you probably already heard about a potentially significant fly that just dropped into the ointment of Findland and Sweden’s expected applications to join NATO. The fly in this case is Turkish tyrant Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Once the news broke of not only the two nations’ inclinations to join, but Russia’s threats to respond “militarily,” Erdogan stepped up to the microphone and said that Turkey is “not favorable” toward allowing those two countries to join.
Want Tighter Restrictions on Protests? Progressive Politicians Should Beware What They Wish For
People were aghast at the behaviour of a small group of protesters who recently surrounded NDP leader Jagmeet Singh at a Peterborough, Ontario, provincial election campaign event. The protesters were intimidating and pressing as they shouted a string of obscenities at Singh and followed him to a waiting van. Few rational people condone that kind of behaviour, and it was roundly condemned by people on all sides of the political spectrum.
What is concerning though is we now have federal politicians using this incident as a reason to pursue tighter legal restrictions upon protests. This is a very dangerous road to wander down, and we could be risking the loss of essential democratic rights of assembly and expression.

Trans Ideology Has Ruined Credibility of Gay Activism: Stonewall Founder
One of the co-founders of the far-left LGBTQ charity Stonewall has accused the group of discrediting equal rights activism by embracing far-left ideology on transgenderism, such as claiming there is no difference between the bodies of men and women.
DANGER: The WHO’s Death Trap for the US
… A WHO with expanded authority is a terrifying concept. Can you envision providing an international organization with the power to dictate how the U.S. should respond to a future pandemic? Perhaps by forcing the U.S. to turn over supplies and equipment to China because of its larger population? How about an international organization that would have the power to mandate whether we should be required to be vaccinated with a particular vaccine, say China’s inferior SINOVAC vaccine? Or imagine a WHO that has the power to impose what mandates or lockdowns a country would be required to impose, say like China’s current lockdown of Shanghai? Unfortunately, the WHO already has proven itself to be a willing organ of China’s Communist leaders. Providing it with international, legal binding authority over global pandemic response must never be allowed to happen.
Here’s What the Buffalo Shooter’s Alleged Manifesto Actually Says
On Saturday afternoon, an 18-year-old from Upstate New York traveled to Buffalo and live-streamed himself shooting several people, ten of whom he killed, at a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly black neighborhood. The suspect was captured by law enforcement and has been arraigned on 10 first-degree murder charges.
With their usual swiftness, leftists on Twitter quickly launched a seemingly coordinated effort to blame Fox News and Tucker Carlson for allegedly radicalizing the suspect.
Sounds NDP.

THIS IS SO MESSED UP… Buffalo gunman, 18, ‘had name of a Waukesha Parade victim on his rifle when he murdered 10 in racist attack’ six months after five died when SUV sped through crowd in Wisconsin
The gunman who killed 10 people in a racist attack at an upstate New York grocery store appears to have had the name of a white woman who was run over at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year scrawled on his gun. Photos of the rifle used by Payton Gendron, 18, in the live-streamed massacre show the misspelled name of Virginia Sorenson. Sorenson, 79, was at the Waukesha Christmas to perform as part of the ‘Dancing Grannies’ troupe when a man in an SUV plowed into the crowd, killing her and five others. The assailant in the November attack, Darrell Edward Brooks, is a black man who had shared social media posts promoting Black Lives Matter and violence toward white people.
Wealthy Californians splash out on fines to water gardens during drought
Jim Hampton gazes proudly at his finely manicured lawn and the flourishing plants outside his home in the affluent southern Californian city of Agoura Hills.
For the 60-year-old automation engineer, his garden represents the fruits of a long career.
However, if local officials have their way his green grass — and that of his neighbours — may soon wither amid a historic drought that has ravaged the American West.
Elsewhere … U.K. movement No Mow May gains traction across Canada as municipalities urge residents to let their grass grow
On recent morning walks, City of Fredericton Councillor Kevin Darrah has found his neighbours’ lawns to be increasingly unkempt. They match the weedy pastures around the maritime capital’s water towers, fire stations, arenas, waterfront trail system and public parks.
But the overgrowth is by design: Fredericton is one of several Canadian Municipalities engaging in No Mow May, a grassroots movement encouraging people to keep their mowers retired until June, and allow flora to grow to give pollinators such as bees, butterflies and beetles better access to nectar early in the year. Darrah, the Chair of the City’s Environmental Stewardship Committee, said Fredericton is keeping 25 per cent of its city-managed lawns uncut for the month, and that many citizens have also chosen to participate.
