The Heresy of Sex Differences

The controversy surrounding the nomination of E. J. Antoni to head the US Bureau of Labor Statistics briefly brought public attention to a topic that is usually confined to academic psychology. During discussions with interns at the Heritage Foundation, Antoni reportedly stated that men and women differ in intelligence distributions and that males are more likely to appear at the extremes, including very high IQ levels. The comments triggered criticism and media attention, and the nomination was eventually withdrawn. This was not the first time such ideas had cost someone a prestigious position. Larry Summers was similarly pushed out of Harvard after suggesting that inherent differences in ability between the sexes could account for why men tend to dominate at the top end of STEM performance.

Dwight Newman: Judge far too quick to toss out separation petition with 300K signatures

On Wednesday, in its Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation v Alberta decision, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench quashed the province’s secession referendum process. In particular, the judge quashed the chief electoral officer’s decision to allow signatures to be gathered to call for a referendum. Whatever your view on Alberta secession, the decision warrants attention for the readiness of the judge to prohibit a democratic process based on Indigenous rights claims.

Canada’s not ready for the next viral outbreak. We didn’t even bother with an inquiry on the last one

Various experts have been assuring the public over the past several weeks that the risk of a major hantavirus outbreak is low.

This is a known virus, they say, unlike the novel coronavirus first observed in 2019.

It doesn’t pose pandemic potential, they say, because this Andes variant requires prolonged close contact to be transmitted from human to human.

Met Police Faces Two-Tier Row Over Facial Recognition at Robinson Rally

London is preparing for one of the largest and most complex policing operations in recent years as tens of thousands are expected to attend two major demonstrations taking place on the same day in the capital.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that live facial recognition (LFR) technology will be deployed at a rally organised by Tommy Robinson, but not at a nearby pro-Palestinian march marking Nakba Day, which commemorates Palestinian displacement and loss during the creation of Israel and the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. The decision has prompted criticism and fuelled claims of “two-tier policing” from political figures and commentators.

PINDER: Net zero could make Canada poorer — and Mark Carney knows it

As these pages have acknowledged, socialists are smart, advocating for more government by wrapping themselves in the feel-good environment. Determination and imagination, yes, but as this series of columns has documented, much of the broad global warming/cum climate change/cum climate crisis narrative is untrue and designed to mislead.

Major Presidential Assassination Attempts Compared

With the failed attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25, there have been seven major attempts to assassinate President Trump since 2016.

Let us examine US presidential assassination attempts and attempt to ascertain why President Trump has been the most-targeted president in US history.

Liberal party under fire as more questions raised about Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination fight

Nate Erskine-Smith’s appeal of a weekend nomination in Scarborough Southwest has sparked mockery of the Liberals just as the beleaguered party has been enjoying an uptick in the polls.

It has also fuelled questions as to why the Beaches—East York Liberal MP — whose own 2014 federal nomination win was challenged — and his team didn’t publicly raise concerns during the meeting Saturday.

Stung after narrowly losing to Ahsanul Hafiz, owner of 30 Domino’s Pizza franchises, Erskine-Smith alleged “serious irregularities” in the balloting, such as voters using “Amazon orders” and refugee claimant papers as identification.

This is just business as usual for the Liberals.

Xi confronts Trump over Taiwan

China could go to war with the United States over Taiwan, Xi Jinping warned in a tense start to Donald Trump’s state visit.

The Chinese president said the disputed territory was the “most important issue in China-US relations” in comments released by state media on Thursday.

“If it is handled well, bilateral relations can remain generally stable. If it is not handled properly, the two countries could collide or even come into conflict,” he said. That would be “very dangerous”.

America’s role as Canada’s culture-shaper is coming to an end

In the United States, the life expectancy is 78.4 years. In Canada, it’s 82.2.

That would be a good statistic to insert into a response to America’s Canada-trashers, like Ambassador Pete Hoekstra or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. A line like: “Dear Americans, if you want to live several years longer, move to Canada.”

It’s a telling statistic. In the debate in Carneyland over the need to turn away from the United States and broaden relations with Europe and elsewhere, the focus has been on the imperative of lessening reliance on American trade and defence.

Hollywood’s clout is in well noted decline primarily because it has become un-American.

TDS bash all you want but Trump is making America far more free and far better off economically than Canada.

Artificial intelligence industry claims looming ‘singularity’ will change everything

It has been called the most important chart in the world.

Every time one of the world’s top artificial intelligence companies unveils a new system, employees at the US research organisation METR put it through its paces, testing its ability to complete a series of increasingly complex tasks.

The tasks are measured by how long each one would take a skilled human.

GOLDSTEIN: It’s as if the foreign interference inquiry never happened

Has the federal government learned nothing from Canada’s foreign interference inquiry?

More than five years after the previous Justin Trudeau regime first claimed to be “actively considering” a foreign lobbyists’ registry (officially the Foreign Influence Transparency Registry) in February 2021, Canada still doesn’t have one.

Palestinian Leaders Still Reject Israel’s Right to Exist

On May 11 and 12, the Palestinian Authority organized mass rallies across the West Bank to commemorate the “Nakba” (“catastrophe”) — the term Palestinians use to describe the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched through the streets of Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians, waving flags, carrying “keys of return,” and chanting slogans such as “We live a new Nakba every day” and “We will never forget the right of return.”
