GOLDSTEIN: Doing the math on Trudeau’s climate pledges

The great American computer scientist John McCarthy, who coined the term “Artificial Intelligence” — also warned that “he who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.”

I’m reminded of this every time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson talk about climate change, and specifically about reducing Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Republicans Show Real Backbone In Blocking January 6th Commission Political Theater

Republicans in the Senate held together to thwart attempts to form a commission to investigate the trespassing and minor property damage that happened at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. We should all refuse to call it an insurrection or even a riot at this point if for no other reason than to frustrate the left—in particular, leading Democrats like this bitter former presidential candidate who keeps lying to her followers…

Mothers criticize BLM activists for profiting off their dead sons

Grief-stricken mothers who have accused Black Lives Matter of profiting from the deaths of their sons condemned the group’s embattled co-founder Patrisse Cullors after she announced she was stepping down from the movement.

“I don’t believe she is going anywhere,” Samaria Rice, the mother of a 12-year-old boy shot by Cleveland police while playing with a toy gun, told The Post. “It’s all a facade. She’s only saying that to get the heat off her right now.”

COVID-19 ‘has NO credible natural ancestor’ and WAS created by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with ‘retro-engineering’ to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats, explosive new study claims

An explosive new study claims that Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in a Wuhan lab, then tried to cover their tracks by reverse-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats.

The paper’s authors, British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen, wrote that they have had ‘prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China’ for a year – but were ignored by academics and major journals.

Dalgleish is a professor of oncology at St George’s University, London, and is best known for his breakthrough creating the first working ‘HIV vaccine’, to treat diagnosed patients and allow them to go off medication for months.

Violence in Gaza has left behind a changed political landscape in Canada

“…Paul, who converted to Judaism 20 years ago, has spoken in Israeli media about the prejudice she faced when running for the Green Party leadership.

“It started out as innuendo, with veiled suggestions and attacks against me as a Zionist,” she said. “And then because neither we nor others responded to it, people became more emboldened and more explicit.

“I was accused of the usual tropes, including being in the pocket of foreign agents, being embedded in a political party to further the goals of those foreign agents, and the usual things related to money.”

Autonomous drones may have ‘hunted down’ and attacked troops in Libya without human control – UN report

A UN report found that autonomous drones armed with explosive devices may have “hunted down” fleeing rebel fighters in Libya last year. If true, the report chronicles the world’s first true robot-on-human attack.

According to the report, anti-government Libyan National Army fighters, under military commander Khalifa Haftar, were retreating last March following an unsuccessful attack on Tripoli, when they ran into a swarm of terrifying aerial opponents.

Residential school survivors society calls for action following discovery of children’s remains

The Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS) is calling on the federal government and the Roman Catholic Church to take action following the discovery of the remains of 215 children buried on the Kamloops Indian Residential School grounds.

On Thursday, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation said preliminary findings from a ground-penetrating radar survey uncovered the remains. Since then, federal government officials and leaders have taken to social media and sent out news releases offering support.

I Think we should wait until the “radar” survey is substantiated.

ISIS forced Toronto 18 terror plot leader to rethink his ideology, but change deemed not enough to warrant parole

From the prison where Zakaria Amara endures his life sentence, the leader of a terrorist plot to explode huge truck bombs in Ontario said the atrocities of ISIL jihadists drove him to re-evaluate and reject his radical beliefs, making him ready for release from prison.

Amara’s appeals of a personal transformation over 15 years behind bars, however, were not enough to warrant his release, the Parole Board of Canada told him after a lengthy and sometimes emotional hearing Friday.

Ontario reports 1,057 new Covid cases … and… The 1.5 Billion A Day Pandemic

Ontario reports 1,057 new Covid cases … and… The 1.5 Billion A Day Pandemic


How much — exactly — has the pandemic cost Canada? Star analysis finds toll is more than $1.5 billion a day

The pandemic’s impact on the economy has been staggering — and complicated.

Some of the typical measurements are in conflict: the stock market is soaring while 1.5 million Canadians are out of work. Many of the largest companies recorded historic profits while one quarter of small businesses reported revenue drops of 30 per cent or more.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted in the past year, though the Bank of Canada projects a promising return to pre-pandemic growth. The federal government poured huge sums of money into stimulus measures, but Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says an economic rebound will help cover the debt.

Parent: Why I pulled my daughter out of antiracist school

Brearley is one of the most prestigious private schools in America. Based in the Upper East side of Manhattan, where the children of plutocrats and power brokers attend, the $54,000 a year all-girls school ranks among the likes of Spence, Chapin and Groton.

It is also one of the most difficult schools to get into, but one parent made headlines by taking his daughter out.

The manufacturing of fear – The media have terrorised the public during the pandemic.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

That is how the media approached Covid. Be afraid of everything, from ice cream to semen. Be afraid of being tall. Be afraid of being bald. Be afraid of going to the shops and accepting home deliveries. And if you’re a man, it’s not just semen you should worry about, but also your testicles, your erectile function and your fertility. Even your toes are in danger.

Why does the West hate itself? White progressives are blinded by their own guilt

Today’s biggest debates are about justice. Terms like “social justice”, “economic justice” and “racial justice” permeate discussions on what needs to change in the world. Young people, usually the hungriest for justice, arguably have more of a voice than ever in history, thanks to social media. While it is welcome news that justice dominates debate, the narrative contains an underlying contradiction which no one is prepared to address: that we always seem to end up holding the West to higher standards of justice than others without ever quite explaining why this ought to be the case.
