The idea that the rightness of a cause is to be judged by the demographic makeup of those who appear to support it, a common assumption on the left, is itself racist
As Pierre Poilievre crisscrosses Canada, very much the front runner in the Conservative leadership race, he continues to attract large crowds wherever he goes. On April 12, he addressed a large gathering at Spruce Meadows, on the southern edge of Calgary, where around 5,000 people came out to hear him address a range of issues, from pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, to the Freedom Convoy protests, inflation and bitcoin.

Wearing a mask may still give some people a sense of security, but they could breathe more easily if they’d face the facts.

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said that “we have the laptop,” and “in the meantime, we’re investigating.” Issa described the findings on the laptop as a “treasure trove” before saying that “we’re going to need a special prosecutor” to look into other allegations about Biden’s business dealings in various countries, including China.
On the laptop is “direct communication between [President Joe Biden] and his son,” “a good dive into how sick and vulnerable Hunter Biden was,” and “some of the things he did,” Issa said, adding that there were photos on the hard drive that allegedly showed the younger Biden’s “drug stash.”

Municipalities wrote letters to the police: Stop Paludan
After the violent riots, two municipalities have appealed to the police not to give Rasmus Paludan new permits for Koran burning.
During the Easter weekend, the Danish politician Rasmus Paludan had received a police permit to carry out Koran burning in several cities: Linköping, Jönköping, Norrköping , Malmö, Örebro and Stockholm.
In several cities, this led to violent riots in which 16 policemen were injured.
Olle Vikmång (S), chairman of the municipal board in Norrköping, condemned both Paludan’s demonstration and the violent riots in the Navestad district on Good Friday.
– I feel disgust for the messages that Paludan conveys. But it gives no right to resort to violence against the police and rescue services and to burn cars, injure, threaten and scare people, he says.

The year 2022 is not a good one for celebrating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We mark the 40th anniversary of that celebrated instrument this week. Over the years it has been held up as the very jewel of the Canadian Constitution. The one great bulwark for every single citizen’s civic integrity. The very banner of Canadian democracy. The text of our liberties. A great, invulnerable wall against the encroachments of government on the day-to-day lives of Canadians.
Canada’s Magna Carta.
