GELEYNSE: Canadians’ free speech rights are under attack, again

If Canadians wish to ensure the preservation of individual liberty and free speech, we must get back to first principles — and the medieval wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas.

The Online Harms Act died when Parliament was prorogued late last year. It would have broadened the definition of hate crimes, empowered the state to impose house arrest to forestall possible future hate crimes, established a Digital Safety Commissioner to enforce social media regulations, and raised the maximum penalty for any offence found to be motivated by hate to life imprisonment.

Dozens of illegal magic mushroom dispensaries operating in major Canadian cities with no guardrails: study

More than 50 shops selling illegal magic mushrooms are operating in major cities in Canada and most of them make unsubstantiated health claims that could cause harm, according to a study by Canadian researchers published last week.

Of the 57 dispensaries found selling psilocybin as of May last year, 55 were located in Ontario or British Columbia, with 35 in the Toronto area and 15 around Vancouver. Hamilton had four and the Ottawa-Gatineau area had six.

So should we all just adopt an illegal side hustle to help pay the bills? No repercussions are evident.

Cost of living, housing the top priority for young voters, not Trump

Young voters’ top priorities are not being addressed by federal leaders most focused on proving their party is best equipped to tackle the Canada-U.S. trade war and sovereignty threats, observers say. While those issues are a main concern for middle-aged and older Canadians, they aren’t shared to the same degree among Canada’s youngest generation of voters, a recent Abacus Data poll reveals.

Generation Z—which Abacus classifies as voters under the age of 30—places cost of living as a top issue (46 per cent), followed by housing affordability (33 per cent), according to a survey tracking more than 3,200 respondents released on April 5. Dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump ranks a distant third in importance among 23 per cent—which amounts to a 15-point gap between generation Z and other voters polled, with baby boomers listing Trump as their top issue by a significant margin.

Trump Authorizes Military Occupation Of Public Land Along Southern Border To Repel Migrant ‘Invasions’

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum authorizing a “military mission for sealing the southern border of the United States and repelling invasions,” giving the U.S. military the ability to occupy public land along the border in order to secure it.

The directive, released late Friday, allows the military to use federal lands for military activities, including constructing border barriers and using “detection and monitoring equipment” to deter would-be migrant invaders.

As WorldPride DC approaches, international LGBTQ+ groups voice concerns

WorldPride, the LGBTQ+ festival celebrating “diversity, equality and love on a global scale,” is expected to bring 2 to 3 million people to Washington beginning May 17. But a number of international groups, worried about the Trump administration’s attacks on diversity, inclusion and equity efforts and its targeting of transgender rights in the United States, say they are planning to stay away.

The executive director of the Capital Pride Alliance, which is hosting the 23-day WorldPride festival, says he doesn’t blame them.

Liberal candidate accepted invitation from China to celebrate People’s Liberation Army event

A Liberal candidate running in a Greater Toronto Area riding, whose candidacy has come under scrutiny for ties to pro-Beijing groups, accepted an invitation from China to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army victory over Japan in the Second World War.

Peter Yuen, who has also been linked to Toronto’s Chinese consulate, joined a group of about 70 Chinese Canadians for the Tiananmen Square celebration in September, 2015.

How ‘positive action’ in police recruitment became anti-white discrimination

I was a special constable with Devon and Cornwall Constabulary for five years, giving me a front-line view of policing as I simultaneously worked as a senior civil servant at the Home Office.

You very quickly learn two things about “the job”. First, that when people are having the worst day of their lives the quality of your response makes a profound difference. Second, when the wheels fall off, you need a person in uniform standing next to you who can have your back. When you strip away all the progressive verbiage pumped out by policing quangos on what matters, the public expects two things, above all: moral and physical courage.

How young men are changing what conservatism looks like in Canada

Adam Beattie was walking with a friend in downtown Vancouver on a rainy winter day in 2023 when a stranger, who appeared to be high on fentanyl, punched him in the head.

They reported the attack to police, but Beattie says he was told that even if arrested, the attacker would likely be released a few hours later.

Beattie dropped the matter, but ended up moving to a Vancouver suburb where the rent was cheaper and he would feel safer.

New theory of what’s behind Tic Tac UFOs that keep rising from ocean in front of US Navy sailors

The UFO expert who released a new video this week showing the infamous tic tac has revealed bombshell theories about the phenomena.

Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and filmmaker known for his work with George Knapp on military-documented unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), has once again ignited public debate over UFOs – this time with newly released footage captured aboard the USS Jackson in 2023.

My suspicion grows that this is US tech, whether the result of a technological breakthrough or via acquisition I can’t know.

Hamas Terror Group Expresses Gratitude for European Support

Having done plenty to irritate his supposed allies in Israel—in particular by undermining efforts to free the remaining hostages—French President Emmanuel Macron has found new friends in Hamas.

The terror group on Thursday praised the president’s proposal to recognise a Palestinian state, in the fanciful hope of getting Iran to recognise Israel, telling AFP this was an “important step.”

BERNARDO: Mark Carney’s ‘reinvigorated’ gun grab?

Mark Carney’s grand pronouncement that he will “reinvigorate the implementation of an efficient gun-buyback program for assault-style firearms” is laughable.

The Liberal government, via Bill Blair, has claimed they will impose their Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme for the past five years. They haven’t confiscated a single banned firearm from a licensed owner, despite wasting $67 million.

Canada ‘isolated’ as most nations rebuff retaliatory tariffs on America

Only Canada and China have chosen to impose counter levies in response to American tariffs.

Canada’s past chief negotiator for the new NAFTA says the country finds itself alone as one of the few globally to have used countermeasures against American tariffs.

Retaliatory tariffs on some American auto exports went into force on April 9. Canada has imposed a series of counter-tariffs to respond to U.S. levies on autos and steel and aluminum exports, as well as goods that aren’t compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), which U.S. President Donald Trump imposed under the guise of addressing fentanyl.

Neil Young, Poster Child for Free Speech Hypocrisy

Neil Young once stormed the country to sing the First Amendment’s praises.

That 2006 Freedom of Speech tour came after some said it was unpatriotic to critique the War on Terror. Young and his Crosby, Stills and Nash bandmates disagreed. They used the tour to skewer President George W. Bush, highlighted by the song, “Let’s Impeach the President.”
