Joel Kotkin: Canadians must stop romanticizing a failing Europe

Joel Kotkin: Canadians must stop romanticizing a failing Europe

Canadians have long looked away from their often gruesome southern neighbor, tempted instead to embrace a chicer European identity. They could point to a more civil public culture, greater bilingualism and a more generous welfare state, compared to the dog-eat-dog reality of the United States. Prime Minister Mark Carney has called Canada “the most European of non-European countries,” and some policy wonks now advocate joining the EU.

Canadian Senator’s Anti-‘Foreign Interference Hysteria’ Group Invites Elected Officials to Fundraiser After Parliament Clash Over United Front Findings

TORONTO — Days after a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst testified in Parliament about a sitting Canadian senator’s group’s alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party, that group, led by Liberal-appointed Senator Yuen Pau Woo and former Conservative senator Victor Oh, reached out to elected officials in the Toronto area and invited them to a fundraising gala.

The Last Word on the Russia Hoax?

The Last Word on the Russia Hoax?

It all began on September 11. Not September 11, 2001, although a word about that day would not be out of place in this connection. Only days after the attack on New York and Washington, a fool of a president told the American people that Islam is a religion of peace – a perverse formulation that no one on earth had ever encountered before. And this whitewash was reinforced by his successor in the Oval Office, a man who, not foolish but wily, had been fathered by a Kenyan Muslim and grown up in Islamic Indonesia, and hence believed, as Drew Thomas Allen writes in Clinton Hoax, Obama Coup: The Declassified Story of the Trump-Russia Delusion – a spectacular account based on “newly declassified intelligence, memos, and testimonies” – that Islam is “a peaceful religion to be revered.”

Jamie Sarkonak: I read ‘The Camp of the Saints.’ Here’s why it’s relevant

Jamie Sarkonak: I read ‘The Camp of the Saints.’ Here’s why it’s relevant

Jean Raspail’s The Camp of the Saints (1973) is easily one of the most suppressed books of the 20th century. That’s because it’s a dystopian novel about mass third-world migration, a topic still considered taboo to many. While The Handmaid’s Tale and Nineteen Eighty-Four have become regular headliners of “banned book” campaigns and subjects of novel studies in school curriculums, English translations of Raspail’s magnum opus have been so hard to find that used hard copies sold for prices ranging into the hundreds. Until just last year, that is.

Good News, Frustrated Progs – Turning Canadian Just Became So Much Easier

Good News, Frustrated Progs – Turning Canadian Just Became So Much Easier

I mean, if anyone’s in a big rush to get out of the States because of the BAD ORANGE MAN, but finds themselves in a straitened circumstance. You know, the kind where you can’t exactly afford the spread in the Cotswolds that Ellen and Portia bought, nor that ticket to Costa Rica so you can hide on cheap jungle hideaway time, like Tarzan or Jane, but with air-conditioning and a flush toilet.

Michael Higgins: Carney continues to blame Trump for problems the Liberals created

Young Canadians have never had it so bad in this country, and yet you wouldn’t know it if you listened to the prime minister’s cozy “fireside chat” on Sunday.

It was Prime Minister Mark Carney who should have done the listening, particularly to his House of Commons finance committee, which a day after his “we are all in this together” platitudes revealed that younger Canadians are increasingly out of it altogether.

Detroit Is So Far Gone, Officials Are Begging Criminals Not to Steal These

Detroit Is So Far Gone, Officials Are Begging Criminals Not to Steal These

There was a time when Detroit was a great American city. The heart of the U.S. auto industry, Detroit peaked with almost 2 million residents. Today, it’s population is less than 700,000 and crime is higher. Crime is so bad, in fact, that city officials are now asking criminals not to steal the city’s fire hydrants for the brass components.

Americans are paying more attention to Canada. Should we worry?

Americans are paying more attention to Canada. Should we worry?

New Democrat MP Leah Gazan probably thought she was communicating only with a small and like-minded group of Canadian NDP supporters when she rolled out a lengthy acronym during a news conference in Ottawa earlier this month.

In fact, she had wandered into the wood chipper of U.S. culture war politics.

Her use of the phrase “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” — which many Canadians would probably also struggle to decipher — became fodder for hilarity on Fox News and was mocked across the MAGAsphere. Everyone from Elon Musk to Ted Cruz chimed in with their thoughts on the matter.

Busted! Feds Charge SPLC With Funding Klansmen, Neo-Nazis

Busted! Feds Charge SPLC With Funding Klansmen, Neo-Nazis

In the court of public opinion, the Southern Poverty Law Center just lost all of its credibility.

Without loud and visible racists, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) would cease to exist. Is that why it allegedly subsidized them so heavily for so long?

A federal case brought by the Justice Department against the SPLC accuses the group of paying millions of dollars to prominent racists. The indictment notes that the group paid the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America, the leader of the National Socialist Party of America, and the president of the American Front.
