What Took Us So Long to Learn About World War Eleven?

One of the jokes in high rotation in the late M. Stanton Evans’s repertoire involved a teleprompter miscue, a la Ron Burgundy in Anchorman, in which the newsreader discussed events concerning World War Eleven. Other listeners of the joke, I assume, also regarded it as of dubious origin, told to illustrate not a literal but a figurative truth, i.e., human evolution took a U-turn on intelligence several decades back.

‘Destroyed in less than a year’: Granville St. SRO resident wants public to see conditions

As the province prepares to close the Luugat single-room occupancy (SRO) building on Vancouver’s Granville Street by the end of June, it appears BC Housing doesn’t want the public to see inside the former hotel that taxpayers paid millions of dollars to convert to supportive housing during COVID.

Immigration minister says she’s accountable after former IRGC official was granted permit for FIFA event

Immigration Minister Lena Diab says she’s accountable after a senior Iranian soccer official with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — a listed terrorist group in Canada — was granted documents to travel to the country ahead of a pre-FIFA World Cup gathering in Vancouver, before ultimately getting turned around.

Canadian Catholic priest says he was offered euthanasia twice in hospital

A Canadian Catholic priest says that he was twice offered euthanasia while recovering in hospital from a hip fracture, noting that he was “very shocked” that he was asked about the procedure, which has become rampant in Canada.

Canada urged to open up new permanent resident program to all temporary workers

With so many temporary residents running out of legal status this year, Ottawa has been urged to immediately release details on an announced program that’s meant to grant permanent status to migrant workers in limbo — and make sure the process is fair and inclusive.

Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab has been in the hot seat, accused of failing to promptly and properly communicate about the highly anticipated program to transition temporary foreign workers with expiring permits to permanent residence.

‘Frankly, neighborhood watch signs are expressions of exclusion, and they’re inconsistent with our values,’ said Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor.

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Avi Lewis is accusing the federal government of “anti-Palestinian racism” over delays affecting more than 130 students from Gaza who have been accepted to Canadian universities but remain unable to travel.
