GOLDSTEIN: Ford’s budget channels Wynne, McGuinty and Trudeau

When Ontario voters elected Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government in 2018, few could have suspected they would get the reckless financial attitudes and policies of the previous Liberal government.

But that’s what we have with Ford delivering a budget on Wednesday that could have been written by the Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne Liberal governments of 2003-18.

In the lead-up to his election I recall several in the media touting Doug as “Nothing like his brother Rob,” for once the media didn’t lie.

Ontario reports 2,380 new COVID-19 infections and 17 more deaths; cases are over reported due to data catch-up

Ontario reported more than 2,300 new COVID-19 cases but the Ministry of Health says today’s case count is over reported due to data catch-up.

Provincial health officials logged 2,380 new infections on Thursday, compared to 1,571 on Wednesday.

However, officials say the latest numbers are higher by approximately 280 cases due to a data catch-up process related to the provincial system.


Canadian vaccine shipments threatened by EU and India

Just as Canada’s vaccine program was starting to gain steam, comes word that it could all fall apart.

Both the European Union and India, our major sources of vaccine doses — our only sources thus far — are both looking at blocking the export of vaccines to deal with a slow rollout at home and rising COVID-19 case counts.

Supreme Court of Canada upholds “constitutionality” of federal carbon tax theft

The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday has given the federal government the constitutional green light to impose a carbon tax on the provinces.

The decision was the culmination of years of disputes between some provinces and the federal government over the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA). The law, which was introduced in 2018, laid out a national framework for pricing carbon – one that applies to everyday consumers as well as industrial emitters.

Taxes used to be the cost of maintaining the social contract, now it’s just theft by the ruling class.

So the FBI knew all about the Colorado shooter …

What, exactly, are the taxpayers paying for in the highly politicized and loaded-for-money wokester FBI these days?

The recent mass-shooting out of Colorado, from a murder-spewing freak they knew about, would suggest nothing. While they were out there busy looking for ‘white supremacists’ this admitted refugee from Syria was making plans to kill.

And he’s not the first.

Anarchy is coming – The liberal world order has failed to usher in global peace

When the Biden administration undertook its first known act of war a few weeks ago, it provided an illuminating snapshot of conflict in the 21st century. The aerial strike on Iranian-backed Iraqi Shia militias in eastern Syria, facing territory held by American-backed Syrian proxy forces, in response to the shelling of American positions in Iraq by Iranian-backed Iraqi militias which led to the death of an American private contractor, encapsulates the central role of surrogate warfare in modern conflict.

White supremacy isn’t to blame for anti-Asian hate crimes

Most attacks on Asian Americans are not carried out by racist whites.

Hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased substantially across the largest US cities. Recent killings in Atlanta, at Asian-owned massage parlours, have drawn international attention. Eight people were murdered, six of them women of Asian descent.

Some in the media have tried to blame the attacks on ‘white supremacy’.

The Border Crisis on the Other Side of the Border

Leftists’ absurd excuse: climate change. The real problem: socialism.

To understand the illegal immigration problem on our southern border, we must first understand what is happening in Latin America. Why have millions of people left their homes, possessions, and families and endured hardships and perils of every sort in a bid to make a life for themselves elsewhere? Ask a South American refugee, and he’ll likely tell you the problem is socialism.

US Appeals Court Rules States May Restrict People From Openly Carrying Guns in Public

US Appeals Court Rules States May Restrict People From Openly Carrying Guns in Public

An appeals court on Wednesday ruled that states may restrict people from openly carrying firearms in public—upholding a Hawaii gun regulation that bans residents from openly carrying guns without a license.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that restrictions on carrying guns in public except for hunting do not violate the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.

Ilhan Omar ripped for tweet about Boulder shooting suspect’s race

Rep. Ilhan Omar is taking heat for tweeting about how “narratives” change based on a suspect’s “race or ethnicity” in the wake of the Colorado massacre.

“The shooter’s race or ethnicity seems front and center when they aren’t white,” Omar (D-Minn.) wrote Tuesday. “Otherwise, it’s just a mentally ill young man having a bad day.

The death of the American city: Rising crime and a pandemic-inspired exodus are powering urban decay

When my grandparents migrated to New York from Russia over a century ago, they found a city that was hardly paradise, but one that provided a pathway towards a better life. Life was tough, crowded and always a paycheck from poverty. My relatives were poor, but so was everyone; eventually, they all bought houses or apartments, and entered the middle class. As for crime in their native Brownsville, the home of Murder, Incorporated and other villainous enterprises, it rarely impacted “civilians”; my mother would tell me how a young girl could still walk across Prospect Park without fear of assault.

If Joe Biden really has dementia, can he be removed?

‘Is something neurologically wrong with Donald Trump?’ Yes, was Professor James Hamblin MD’s answer after the headline trumpeted in the Atlantic in January 2018. Yet in the election year that followed it was Biden who was being hidden in the cellar while Donald Trump embarked on an exhausting series of campaign rallies, giving largely unscripted bravura performances to his fanatical followers. Meanwhile on the rare occasion when his handlers let him out, Biden stumbled. On one occasion he forgot which state he was in. Shockingly, America’s Democrat-dominated media stayed silent about Biden’s failing health throughout the presidential campaign.

Black Lives Matter: The Myths and the Facts

George Floyd was a forty-six-year-old truck driver and minor hip-hop rapper with the group “Screwed Up Click”. Between 1997 and 2013 he was also a career criminal, serving eight terms in prison for a range of offences including drug possession and delivery, theft and trespass. In 2009, he was sentenced to five years in prison for armed robbery during a home invasion. Paroled in January 2013, he determined to go straight, joined an evangelical church, and moved from his home in Texas to Minneapolis. There he became a truck driver and nightclub bouncer—he was six feet six inches tall—and security guard.

Oops! There goes the narrative! York Regional Police charge Arjun Choudhari after a string of crimes targeting Asians in Markham

York Regional Police have charged a man after a series of incidents believed to be hate-motivated that targeted Asian people.

The Markham man faces multiple charges after being linked to six separate incidents between January and March this year, police say.

On March 16, York police investigated an assault in the area of Pillar Rock Cres., in the Hwy. 404 and Elgin Mills area. A woman was outside around 2 p.m. when the suspect ran up behind her and hit her in the back with an object, police say.

…Arjun Choudhari, 33, faces six charges including assault with a weapon, three counts of assault and two counts of criminal harassment.

But he’s Asian! He must have internalized the white man’s racism!

Boulder Shooter is A Product of the Left

The man who murdered ten people in a Boulder, Colorado supermarket Monday has been identified as a Muslim migrant ISIS sympathizer named Ahmad Al Issa (which is how he himself wrote his name on his Facebook and Twitter accounts, not “Alissa” as the establishment media has been spelling it). This identification immediately destroyed the narrative that leftist “journalists” ran with all of Monday evening and Tuesday morning, that the shooter was one of those “right-wing extremists” – you know, those people who are, according to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the “most lethal and persistent” threat the U.S. faces today. Ironically, while Al Issa is clearly not the “white supremacist” of leftist fantasy, he is just as plainly a product of the leftist subculture that is so prevalent in America today.
