After brutalizing him in its front-page obituary on Thursday, the New York Times took a Trumpian angle on talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh’s passing with reporter Jeremy Peters’ “Political Memo”: “Rush Limbaugh’s Legacy of Venom: As Trump Rose, ‘It All Sounded Familiar’ — Weaponizing conspiracy theories and bigotry long before Donald Trump’s ascent, the radio giant helped usher in the political style that came to dominate the Republican Party.”
GAVIN MORTIMER, a journalist who covers France for the Spectator, has written recently concerning the attack in Paris on fourteen-year-old Yuriy, a white boy. The brutality of Yuriy’s beating by ten youths (knocking the boy’s eyes out of their sockets apparently) caused mounting consternation, especially after a video appeared of the boy being attacked, beaten to a pulp and left for dead in a square in the 15th arrondissement, one of the so-called beaux quartiers of Paris, and exactly where you wouldn’t expect such an attack to take place, especially after the 6pm national curfew. Apparently, criminality thrives while the rest of us race to the supermarket at 5.15 so that we can make it home by 6.
The story of Yuriy, who remains in hospital, revived references to the ‘ensauvagement’ of France, rejected by the usual suspects, who worry about unfairly scapegoating poor people and minorities.
Good to see Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, Seamus O’Regan, is back in his office after his sojourn to dear Newfoundland, on behalf of Premier Furey, in the botched provincial election. The election itself was halted, or cancelled, or put on ice — to use a phrase — after the province had, for it, a huge spike in COVID cases. Prior to the — let’s call it a postponement — Mr. O’Regan was out doing the old door-to-door with various Liberal candidates, a sprightly sight for Newfoundlanders weary from lockdowns, February and firing up the woodstove.
Coca-Cola has used a training video by antiracist activist Robin DiAngelo that tells employees to “try to be less white,” according to “unwoke activist” Karlyn Borysenko based on information from what she says is a company whistleblower. Borysenko, who is also a psychologist, YouTuber, and creator of Zen Workplace, put a video of the training online. Borysenko often speaks out against critical race theory and corporate race training.

The latest draw unfairly rewards the low scorers, who “took a flyer” and entered the pool, he said, even if they have poor qualifications, poor language skills and poor job prospects while qualified applicants who are still collecting documentation and not yet in the system lose out.
“The draw transforms a well-structured and predictable system into a lottery ticket,” said Karas. “It makes the system look worthless and game-able.”

I popped my head into Jack Kay’s office at Apotex in the early fall of 2018, looking for a detail to help flesh out what seemed an apocryphal story: That murdered billionaire inventor/businessman Barry Sherman had driven a series of rusty, poorly maintained convertibles. Kay had been generous with his time, tutoring me about pharmaceuticals on Saturday afternoons, bringing me into the world he and Sherman shared for 35 years.
Looking up from what had been Sherman’s desk, Kay, muscled and lean from daily 6 a.m. workouts, was unusually frosty. I had just been down the hall talking to Joanne Mauro, Barry’s executive assistant for 42 years. In addition to Mauro describing the tremendous impact her late boss had on her — “I don’t let anything bother me anymore” — she said Sherman loaned her his car one day and the brake pedal sank to the floor.
The Biden administration should not allow the Chinese regime to use climate change as a bargaining chip to extract concessions in other areas, according to China experts.
The warning comes as the United States formally rejoined the Paris agreement on Feb. 19. President Joe Biden has described climate change as an “existential threat” and vowed to do more to reduce carbon emissions. But analysts are concerned that this may lead the United States to become cozier with the Chinese regime.

According to the Sweden Democrats, who advocate severely limiting the intake of immigrants, the “deeply irresponsible migration policy” of the last thirty years has resulted in social, economic, and cultural problems.
The national-conservative Sweden Democrats have unleashed another round of debate about Sweden’s immigration policy by demanding a total stop to asylum and family immigration.
“Sweden needs a total stop, for all immigration that constitutes a social, cultural, or economic burden and a moratorium on the reception of quota refugees”, their leader Jimmie Åkesson tweeted.
