LILLEY: Liberals can’t sweep voting irregularities under rug

The mess that was the Ontario Liberal nomination race in Scarborough Southwest can’t simply be swept under the rug. The party is facing serious allegations of wrongdoing in the vote that happened over the weekend, and those must be answered, not ignored.

Nate Erskine-Smith, who lost by 19 votes to Ahsanul Hafiz, has claimed that there were 34 more ballots counted than there were recorded voters. He also said there were “repeated and serious inconsistencies with respect to proof of identification” and said there were “problematic actions in the voting area.”


Nothing will be done, the Liberals are as corrupt as the Muslims.

Besides Mohammed Erskine-Smith is only upset because he lost.

Bruce Pardy: Racial discounts for violent criminals was inevitable in equity-obsessed Canada

In December 2021, Everton Downey stabbed his girlfriend Melissa Blimkie 15 times in a stairwell at a shopping mall in Burnaby. She died. Downey was convicted of second-degree murder. In February, the British Columbia Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison, the minimum sentence set out in the Criminal Code. The Crown sought no chance for parole for at least 15 years. But Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes decided on 12 years instead, in part because of “mitigating circumstances of his background,” as described in his Impact of Race and Culture Assessment (IRCA). The time to parole was reduced because of Downey’s experience of being Black.

As mayor of Vaughan, I’m urging Mark Carney to meet our Jewish community

I have an urgent request for Prime Minister Mark Carney: please come to Vaughan, Ont., to meet with our Jewish community.

As Vaughan’s mayor, I want you to know that Jews here feel angry, scared, defiant, tired, shocked and beleaguered. Who can blame them? I’ve lived my entire life in this country, but I have never before witnessed the shocking levels of antisemitism and Jew hatred we now see so regularly. I never imagined I would. Not here. Not in Canada.


Del Duca is lying.

He supported the Liberal Party and that means he supported their immigration policy that opened the floodgates to incompatible cultures like Islam.

I have no doubt he would smear anyone who opposed the death cult as an Islamophobe and a racist.

I hate that these pols are trying to wash their hands of responsibility.

Divisive identity politics risk fragmenting Canada further

Canada finds itself listing in stormy waters, split between several solitudes. We are no longer just divided between French and English. Now we are torn along national identity, media ecosystems, class, and basic beliefs about Canadian values and culture. It is doubtful that Canada will be able to remain a unified country if we continue under an incompetent skipper, Mr. Carney, at the helm.

The heartbreak is that Canada, our beloved Canada, has enormous potential. Tragically, however, we have been governed for years by people who, whether for personal gain or due to ineptitude, failed to do the hard work of nation‑building. Instead, they fueled the destruction of our national identity and values, and the degradation of our economy.

Activist warns of ‘propaganda’ as CSIS officials tout agency’s new approach to Indigenous people

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service acknowledges its past investigating of Indigenous people has left a legacy of mistrust that persists today, but officials at the spy agency say the organization is mending its ways.

That’s the main message two CSIS officials, speaking on the condition they not be identified, impressed on CBC Indigenous during a recent sit-down discussion at the agency’s Ottawa headquarters.

Long gone are the days, they said, of CSIS’s expansive “Native extremism” program, in which CSIS officers labelled Indigenous activists as domestic extremists and potential terrorists in sweeping countrywide investigations.

OLDCORN: Liberals $200 million racist slush fund

Ottawa’s latest endowment isn’t ‘equity’ — it’s state-sanctioned discrimination against every Canadian who doesn’t fit its racial criteria.

Another week, another multi-million dollar segregation of your tax dollars by the federal government. This time, it’s a so-called “Black-led Philanthropic Endowment Fund,” which is a permanent $200 million pot of money, courtesy of Budget 2021, reserved exclusively for “Black-led and Black-serving organizations.”

Celebrating Kwanzaa? Me neither

I’M WRITING this on Boxing Day 2025, an official holiday in the United Kingdom and many other countries, especially those such as Canada and Australia which once formed the British Empire, but it is not always called Boxing Day. In European countries, and those unfortunate parts of the world that remained untouched by the civilising hand of British imperialism, it is often known as ‘Second Christmas Day’, ‘Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag’ in German, or in French the more mellifluous ‘Le lendemain de Noël’.
