Diversity sucks shit.
Russia’s forces aren’t as strong as they claim, say captured Chinese fighters
Two Chinese citizens captured fighting against Ukraine said they were “fed lies” by Russia and that Vladimir Putin’s forces were not as strong as they claimed.
In an evening press conference organised by the Ukrainian security service, Wang Guanjung and Zhang Renbo said: “All Russia fed us are lies. They’re fake. Russia isn’t as strong as they claim, and Ukraine isn’t as backward as they say.”
WTF?

TMU campus hit-and-run was an ‘intentional targeting of a specific individual,’ police believe
Toronto police say they believe one person was targeted by a driver who struck and injured four pedestrians on the TMU campus Tuesday afternoon before fleeing the area.
The incident happened just before 2 p.m. on Nelson Mandela Walk, a pedestrian-only walkway near Yonge Street and Gerrard Street East.
Manchester bomber’s brother Hashem Abedi given spork after prison attack
Hashem Abedi has been given a spork to eat his food and transferred back to Belmarsh prison, where he previously launched a vicious attack on prison guards, The Times can reveal.
It has triggered fresh concerns about the Prison Service’s handling of the Manchester Arena terrorist, who allegedly attacked three officers on Saturday with boiling cooking oil from a separation centre — known as a jail within a jail — at HMP Frankland in County Durham, which is one of the highest security jails in the UK.
Peter MacKinnon: Rein in universities’ race-based hiring
With race-based appointments to academic jobs in Canada now common, it should not be surprising that there are business opportunities embedded in them, and it is notable that a new search consultancy has entered and risen in the field: BIPOC Executive Search Inc., based in Toronto. The firm has a team of 15 and specializes in the recruitment of Black, Indigenous and racialized candidates. It has current job postings for 12 executive positions at three Toronto universities (York, U of T and OCAD), and no doubt the promise of many more as Canadian universities rush to make race-based appointments to their academic and administrative ranks. With a 15-member team, BIPOC Inc. needs plenty of work to meet payroll.
Sanity returns in the UK – Supreme Court backs ‘biological’ definition of woman while perverse backwaters like Canada cling to weird beliefs
Judges at the UK Supreme Court have unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.
It marks the culmination of a long-running legal battle which could have major implications for how sex-based rights apply across Scotland, England and Wales.
Judges sided with campaign group For Women Scotland, which brought a case against the Scottish government arguing that sex-based protections should only apply to people that are born female.
UK Supreme Court rules that a ‘woman’ in UK law refers to biological sex and a transgender man is not a woman by legal definition.

But not in Canada’s Liberal Party of course.
BROWN: You don’t want people with ethics like this, running government
With less than two weeks until Election Day on April 28, a palpable sense of hope and momentum is sweeping back across Canada. After a decade of Liberal mismanagement, voters are ready to reclaim their Canadian dream.
At the National Citizens Coalition, we’re witnessing a groundswell of support for a shared vision that prioritizes prosperity, integrity, and a proud, self-respecting future — a vision starkly at odds with a faltering, embittered, gerontocratic Liberal campaign.
Bjorn Lomborg: Global warming policies hurt the poor
We are often told by climate campaigners that climate change is especially pernicious because over coming decades it will disproportionately harm the poorest people, both in Canada and the world. But they miss that climate policies are directly hurting the poor right now.
More energy leads to better, healthier, longer lives. Less energy means fewer opportunities. Climate policies demand we pay more for less reliable energy. The impact is greater if you’re poorer: the wealthy might grumble about higher costs but can generally absorb them; the poor are forced to cut back
Carney says pipelines ‘not necessarily’ among major projects to prioritize
MONTREAL — Liberal leader Mark Carney says pipelines are “not necessarily” the large projects his government would prioritize to deal with the “crisis” of the trade war with the United States.
On Sunday, both Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre were interviewed on Tout le monde en parle, a very popular televised Quebec talk show on Radio-Canada.
After Trump Executive Orders, Smithsonian Page Pushing Racist Propaganda Disappears
‘If you identify as white, acknowledging your white racial identity and its privileges is a crucial step to help end racism.’
Afar-left online project from the Smithsonian has disappeared, just weeks after President Donald Trump signed executive orders enforcing laws against racial discrimination. The project was previously exposed for pushing racist claims about white people.
Soon after taking office in January, Trump signed executive orders Ending Illegal Discrimination And Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity and Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing. The orders banned discrimination in the name of “diversity” across the government and directed the attorney general to enforce anti-discrimination law accordingly.
Canada’s Free Ride Is Finally Over
President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports triggered the usual response from Ottawa. First under Justin Trudeau and now under his successor, Mark Carney, Canada’s political class didn’t just protest—they retaliated, slapping on symbolic countermeasures and accusing the United States of economic aggression.
Outrage as policy—the Canadian default setting when Washington asserts leverage. But beneath the indignation lies a more straightforward truth: Canada had it coming.
Carney’s “Outrage” is China’s instruction.
Philip K Dick’s nightmares are becoming our reality
In recent decades, intrusive or authoritarian government policies have invariably been described as ‘Orwellian’ or ‘Kafkaesque’. But these days, you will increasingly find more allusions to another past master of dystopian fiction: Philip K Dick.
A prime example of this arrived last week, following reports that the British state is now running a ‘murder prediction’ programme. Apparently, the authorities believe they can use the personal data of known offenders to ‘predict’ who is at risk of committing future murders. ‘Government creating Minority Report-style “murder-prediction tool” that uses personal data to identify most likely killers’, ran a Daily Mail headline. This was a reference to the 2002 film based on Dick’s 1956 novella, The Minority Report, in which a ‘precrime’ police unit, with the aid of psychic individuals called ‘pre-cogs’, hunts down those who – it is foreseen – will commit a crime.
KEENEY: When Carney talks about Canada strong, does he really mean it?
By elevating Mark Carney during a prorogued Parliament, the Liberal Party once again reveals its uneasy relationship with democratic transparency. This was not a moment of open debate or public contest but rather a stage-managed affair, choreographed behind closed doors while the people’s forum remained still and silent.
One is reminded of a previous Liberal pageant: the quiet return of Michael Ignatieff, summoned — by his own admission — by ‘the men in black’ to rescue the nation. Like Carney, he was neither elected nor tested in the crucible of open contest; instead, he was installed and anointed in the shadows. One emerged under the cover of prorogation, while the other did so through the discreet rituals of Liberal backroom diplomacy.
‘Let those US peasants wail in front of 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation!’: Beijing fires extraordinary trade war broadside following JD Vance’s slur
Beijing has accused the US of trying to ‘take away Hong Kong’s life’ in a fiery attack that criticised Donald Trump’s tariffs and JD Vance’s shocking ‘peasants’ slur.
Xia Baolong, a top Chinese official who oversees Hong Kong affairs, branded the US tariffs as ‘extremely shameless’ today as he warned that bullying has never worked on Chinese people – including those from Hong Kong.
‘Let those peasants in the United States wail in front of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation,’ Xia, the director of China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office under the State Council, said in a televised speech today.
