Does anyone seriously doubt that boys misbehave more than girls in school? Until recently, no one would have disputed that, since surveys of students show that boys get into fights at twice the rate girls do. In those same surveys, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, blacks say they get into fights at more than twice the rate whites do on school grounds.
When the Conservatives raised concerns about China and Canada’s National Microbiology Lab, Justin Trudeau accused Conservatives of racism.
Of course, that is similar to what the Chinese Communist Party itself claims, as they seek to silence criticism.
China knows how to manipulate the West, and they know that accusations of racism will coerce many people into pathetic submission.
They have also repeatedly claimed that Canada shouldn’t say anything about genocide in Xinjiang Province, due to Canada’s history of Residential Schools.
Several weeks after Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault introduced Bill C-10, I started a 20 part blog post series called the Broadcasting Act Blunder (podcast edition here). The series examined many of concerns with the bill, including issues such as over-broad regulation and discoverability requirements that would only garner public attention many months later. I thought about that series yesterday as I watched Guilbeault try in the House of Commons to defend the indefensible: a gag order on committee review of the bill, the first such order in two decades. While the bill is in dire need of fixing, what occurred yesterday was far worse than a blunder. It was a betrayal. A betrayal of the government’s commitment to “strengthen Parliamentary committees so that they can better scrutinize legislation.” A betrayal of the promise to do things differently from previous governments. A betrayal of Canada’s values as a Parliamentary democracy.
The names we give to public institutions remind us of our history. Most honour people who espoused great ambition and selfless courage — values that teachers, students and citizens should honour.
Monday, FNC host Tucker Carlson opened his program by mocking the Biden administration approach under Vice President Kamala Harris to immigration.
Carlson called the lax immigration standards, which have allowed mass demographic shifts in parts of the country, an attack on democracy.
Former Pres. Barack Obama sat for an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in which he remarked on the prominent role critical race theory has come to occupy in our public conversation and in schools, where lesson plans are being shaped around it.
Trying to defeat a ban of its platform in Nigeria, Twitter claimed that free and open access to the Internet is a “human right,” even as it continues to defend the deplatforming of all conservatives.
Nickelodeon, the children’s network, debuted a video over the weekend featuring drag queen Nina West explaining the colors of the LGBTQ Pride flag, the latest in a series of materials aimed at explaining Pride month to Nickelodeon viewers, most of whom are children.

Sources tell RedState the defector has been with the DIA for three months and that he has provided an extensive, technically detailed debrief to US officials. In DIA’s assessment, the information provided by the defector is legitimate. Sources say the level of confidence in the defector’s information is what has led to a sudden crisis of confidence in Dr. Anthony Fauci, adding that U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) personnel detailed to DIA have corroborated very technical details of information provided by the defector.
Canadians almost universally agree that First Nations people were mistreated in the past and deserve reconciliation, and that much work is left to be done to achieve greater levels of freedom and opportunity for those in First Nations communities.
For that to happen though, we must make sure we pay attention to the full picture and full report of what has been found at Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, also known as the Kamloops Indian Band.
A group of Republican senators sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers regarding punishments for those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and those who rioted over the spring and summer of 2020.
Would the same leniency be shown for right-wing Canadians tearing down what they disagree with? Of course not.
Remember the charismatic, young African-American senator from Illinois who electrified crowds with his rhetoric, who called for a new kind of politics that would heal the United States?
Unfortunately, the audacity of hope quickly devolved into the audacity of bitter partisanship and division following his historic victory.
Changes follow recommendations of a public inquiry into relations between Indigenous groups and some of Quebec’s public services.
“They don’t believe there can be multiple superpowers, they believe that there can only be one, and they want to return back to the glory days of [imperial] China where everybody else was a vassal state and everybody [kowtowed] to the emperor,” U.S. Pacific Air Forces Command chief Kenneth Wilsbach told reporters Friday. “And the emperor now is the Chinese Communist Party.”
Trudeau says he expects high interest from overseas travellers who wish to come to Canada because of vaccination uptake rates and case counts that are better than peer countries.
During one email exchange between the pair in Feb. 2020, Zuckerberg asked Fauci about the best ways he could help with the synthesising and mass distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine, offering to throw unlimited money at the project via his foundation.
The official “Canada in Nigeria” Twitter account voiced their support for freedom of speech and access to information amid the country’s banning of the social media giant after the company deleted tweets of President Muhammadu Buhari. Meanwhile, in Canada, the Trudeau government is actively attempting to censor its own internet with Bill C-10.
About 345 professors, including three associate deans, signed a letter saying that “now is the time to stop commemorating Ryerson.” It’s one of several petitions and letters making similar demands coming out of the university community; open letters have been written by the university’s staff, its Indigenous faculty and its Indigenous students.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that our leaders are priming us to accept a lower standard of living.
One can read between the lines on everything they put forth, though they lack the courage to outright admit it.
You can surely sense it, as the era of expecting our leaders to push for growing prosperity has been replaced with an era of guilt and lowered expectations.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who previously chaired the Federal Reserve, said the central bank has been more concerned about inflation levels that are too low, according to Bloomberg. Increasing consumer prices could signal a return to normal, she said.
“We’ve been fighting inflation that’s too low and interest rates that are too low now for a decade,” Yellen told Bloomberg in an interview Sunday.
In a Monday phone interview with Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Company,” former President Donald Trump blasted social media giants Twitter and Facebook.
Trump said it is a “disgrace” that Twitter and Facebook have banned him and censored other conservatives on their platforms. He emphasized that the companies “have got to be stopped.”
Inflation, in economics, reflects the decrease in the purchasing power of money. As inflation increases, it takes more money to buy the same amount of goods and services. Ever since being gay became a currency – in the entertainment industry – it has been suffering from the same inflationary process: gayflation.
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday returned to the political stage to demand China pay reparations over the pandemic — and rail against Big Tech over censorship and its alleged interference in the 2020 election, which he blasted as the “crime of the century.”
Cruz said, “I have to say this email dump that came out makes clear that this is not just being sloppy, it is systematic and systemically an effort to mislead the American people. As you noted, he wasn’t doing it alone, but he was doing it with much of the U.S. government behind him, and with Facebook and big tech operating as an extension of the U.S. government in order to silence any views that disagreed not with the science because he wasn’t looking for the science, he was suppressing the science but rather trying to silence anything that disagreed with the political narrative that was convenient that he was pushing at that moment.”
