Healthcare in Canada Wasn’t Always This Way

Americans should consider their own flawed system before pontificating about Canada’s.

… Canada does indeed have a system of government-run universal healthcare, but it’s not at all what these uninformed American commenters envision. Arguably, two decades ago Canada’s health care system was better than America’s. Back then Canada had better morbidity and mortality statistics, better accessibility, and much cheaper drugs at less overall cost than America. That is why the American Left advocated that that was the system that the United States should adopt.

That was then. That ship sailed long ago.

As US Is Being Encircled by Enemies, the US Administration Wants Israel to Surrender to Terrorists

While Russian warships, including a nuclear submarine, this week docked in Cuba, and with China building a major deep-water port in Peru that could serve the Chinese military, the US administration is pressuring only Israel to allow the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas to win the war it launched against Israel on October 7.

When an ally is attacked by terrorists, the fundamental principle of an alliance dictates that the victim must be provided unwavering support to defeat the terrorists and dismantle the terror infrastructure completely, ensuring that the terrorists cannot regroup to launch further attacks.

Why rural America doesn’t trust Joe Biden

Campaigners can’t be bothered with the voters

“The Democratic Party doesn’t give a shit about what voters have to say.” Eva Posner, a Virginia-based political consultant, is furious. She believes that the progressive establishment will pay for snubbing rural voters.

Forsaken by the Democrats, rural America has offered its soul to the MAGA movement. Donald Trump took 65% of the rural vote in 2020, up from 62% in 2016. The 2020 figure was even higher among rural whites at 71%. The resulting polarisation between blue cities and red countryside is a “byproduct of the Democrats”, says Matt Barron, who specialises in rural Democratic races as the principal at MLB Research Associates. “They don’t even try to compete in rural America.”

Ignoring Chinese spying has made Canada the weak link among Western allies

US v Canada

… This cross-border discrepancy is partly explained by serious flaws in Canada’s legal system. As an intelligence-gathering service, CSIS is best placed to identify crimes of espionage. But it has no actual law enforcement powers. It can share its findings with the RCMP, but this relationship is complicated by the fact CSIS intel is not admissible in court since the agency refuses to disclose its sources and methods.

“If defence lawyers ever get a whiff of the fact the RCMP has relied on CSIS information, they will demand to test that information in court,” warns Phil Gurski, a former strategic analyst at CSIS. For this reason, cases built on CSIS evidence are often not prosecuted. It is possible Qiu and Cheng were allowed to leave the country because the mountain of proof incriminating them was inadmissible in court.

Danielle Kubes: It’s no wonder that young Canadian families are fleeing to Florida

The third time it happened, I started getting curious. I’d be in the grocery store or on a walk in Vaughan, my suburb just north of Toronto, and bump into an acquaintance. “Hey Danielle, we’re moving to Florida next year. My husband just can’t handle this country anymore.” One by one, millennial families with young kids seemed to be emptying out of my neighbourhood.

Dr Anthony Fauci’s department hid plans to create mutant monkeypox virus that ‘could’ve started pandemic,

Dr Anthony Fauci’s former department ‘deceived’ Congress over its plans to create a Frankenstein monkeypox virus that had pandemic potential, a new report says.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) submitted plans to create a more transmissible and more lethal strain of Mpox in 2015, when Dr Fauci was still in charge of the agency.

The plans only received widespread attention in late 2022 – amid concerns that Covid may have been borne out of similar experiments using US government grant money in China.

I Went to Cover a Protest. I Was Surrounded by a Mob.

Last night, I went to New York City’s Union Square to cover a rally against the “massacre in the Nuseirat Camp regions of Gaza.” That’s what pro-Palestinian protesters are calling the operation that freed four Israeli hostages and killed at least a hundred Palestinians—a mix of Hamas combatants and civilians caught in the chaos as Hamas fired RPGs at the hostages. All around the country, similar anti-Israel protests sprung up to rouse those furious at the hostage rescue operation.

I had been at this particular protest in Union Square for about 45 minutes, watching and taking notes, when a man wearing a neck gaiter, sunglasses, and a Hezbollah flag fashioned as a headscarf suddenly pointed at me. “She’s a Zionist!” he shouted. “Get her out of here.”

‘I Joined a Death Cult,’ Former ISIS Fighter Turned American Asset Says Ahead of Sentencing

A Minnesota man is due in court Wednesday to be sentenced for fighting for the Islamic State between 2015 and 2019, before becoming an American asset.

The former Islamic State fighter, Abdelhamid Al-Madioum, was born in Morocco and raised at St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a town just outside of Minneapolis.

Al-Madioum says he was contacted by an Islamic State member in 2014, when he was 18, and recruited to join the extremist group. The next year, Al-Madioum, while on a family trip to Morocco, slipped away and traveled to Turkey. From Turkey, Al-Madioum made his way into Syria, where he became a fighter for the Islamic State.

The Foundation of American Folly

The Ford Foundation has spent decades tearing the country apart, tax-free.

It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echo through the streets, along with “there is only one solution: intifada revolution.” Among the crowd is the infamous Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who warns through a megaphone that a cabal of wily Jews has conspired to place “their little posters” (of kidnapped Israeli civilians) across the city, seeking to entice people to rip them down. While many onlookers might look like “ordinary people,” she says, the Jews have “their little people all around the city,” surveilling others. Sarsour is there to deliver such rhetoric in part because she’s been paid to be there: her nonprofit, MPower Change, has received $300,000 in grant funding from the Ford Foundation “to build grassroots Muslim power.”
