Appointments of judges, arbitrators and, for today’s purpose, human rights commissioners, have real-life consequences. After all, the people who decide things matter.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) already had considerable power before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new Online Harms Act, amending the Canadian Human Rights Act, made it the arbiter of complaints about online hate speech. Of course, what constitutes “hate speech” remains open for debate.
For more than a century, Canada and the United States have been justifiably proud of sharing the “world’s longest undefended border,” nearly 9,000 kilometres from ocean to ocean maintained largely by the deep trust between the two countries. The white marble Peace Arch, erected in 1921 astride the boundary line between B.C. and Washington State, has been an international symbol of that co-operation and trust.
Until last month.

Canada is experiencing a crisis of unaffordable housing. One recent survey concluded that housing in Greater Vancouver was “impossibly unaffordable.” Another survey found that only 23% of British Columbian renters pay less than 30% of their income on rent, almost half spend 31%-49%, and 25% spend more than half of their income on rent.
That raises the question of what is affordable housing.
Canada’s clownish anti-Muslim activists are still ginning up hate to earn a buck. This is the one good reason why can’t ignore their antics
Before killing four members of the same Muslim family in London, Ont. three years ago, the man behind the attack — a convicted Islamophobic terrorist — wrote a manifesto calling for mass violence against non-white people.
He chose Muslims dressed in traditional clothing as his first targets.
After killing six Muslim worshippers inside a Quebec City mosque in 2017, the mass shooter behind that attack told police he wanted to protect his family from “Islamic terrorists.”

New Democrat MP Alexandre Boulerice is outraged that Loblaw Companies and its subsidiaries have received over $10 million in federal subsidies since 2019, while many Canadians struggle to afford groceries.
“Liberals are giving Loblaw millions of dollars in handouts,” Boulerice said in the Commons.
“While ordinary folks are going hungry, CEOs are getting the VIP treatment. Enough is enough.”
Steal bread from the mouths of children for 14 years and you too can be rewarded!
At ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France a month ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a warning about the state of democracy.
It was, he said on Juno Beach, “still under threat today, … threatened by aggressors who want to redraw borders. It is threatened by demagogy, misinformation, disinformation, foreign interference.”
With Canadians poised to go to the polls in at least three provincial elections this fall, and a federal vote due next year, concerns about the strength of democracy are being raised on multiple fronts.
Only if Junior remains in power.
I consider this piece a public cry for help.
Some folks on our progressive flank, which is my political habitat, have come to believe that our money is their money. The federal government has been raising spending year after year, believing that big problems can only be solved by big government. As a result, the bureaucracy has swelled by a whopping 40 per cent. This can only be described as irrational exuberance.
Three Canadian Jewish groups have called for the removal of Birju Dattani from his upcoming appointment as head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) over his alleged association with people linked to terror groups and history of antisemitic statements.
Once is bad luck twice is by design.
OTTAWA – Hot on the heels of the Conservatives’ stunning byelection victory in the riding of Toronto—St. Paul’s, new seat projection data from Nanos Research show ridings considered previously safe for the Liberals are increasingly up for grabs.
“What we’re seeing is the Liberal fortress Toronto basically under siege,” Nanos said. “So maybe Toronto—St. Paul’s is the canary in the coal mine.”
Canada Day is around the corner, but many Canadians are not necessarily in a mood to celebrate the state of the country, a new poll suggests.
Ipsos polling done exclusively for Global News shows 70 per cent of Canadians agree that “Canada is broken,” a charge Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre repeatedly makes.
The Liberal Party has failed to protect Canada
Did the Chinese Communist Party interfere in the past two Canadian elections? A fantastic series of leaks from Canada’s Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) over the winter of 2022/23 suggests so. The leaks point to a vast CCP campaign of political interference that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government allegedly covered up. It has been a major scandal: a Liberal MP named Han Dong was forced to resign from his party in the aftermath, and reports suggest that a “network” of two dozen candidates and staffers were affected.
Among the less commented-on results of the Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election was the performance of the People’s Party of Canada, the populist-nationalist party led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier. If you missed it, here it is: they got 234 votes, or 0.63 per cent of the total.
What a disappointment this must be for the PPC, after winning 2.67 per cent of the vote in the riding in the past general election. But it’s in keeping with the trend nationally. In the 2021 election the PPC took nearly 5 per cent of the vote. Nowadays it’s mired in the two-to-three-per-cent range.
Coyne bullshits for a living, but this nonsense is below even his typically low standards.
U.S. President Joe Biden’s uneven — and at times incoherent — debate performance Thursday reportedly has triggered panic in Democratic circles as it could lead to an insurmountable lead for Donald Trump and a victory in November’s vote.
It also has observers on this side of the border wondering what a second Trump presidency could mean for Canada and how political leaders here will handle the sometimes volatile former president if he wins again.
Polls suggest Trump was already leading Biden before Thursday’s debate in the six battleground states that are expected to decide the presidential election — Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
Dana Kontorsky, a 27-year-old social worker, was at the Fuego Fuego music festival in Montreal last month wearing a Star of David necklace. She was getting drinks when she saw a girl in a keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern scarf that has become a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The girl looked at Kontorsky’s necklace and called her a “nasty Jew.”
