Readers trying to understand the many claims made about the number of children who died at residential schools can be forgiven for being confused about what they are being told. Various numbers, such as 3,201, 4,000, 6,000, and even 50,000 have been advanced by different people at different times.
So, what is the actual number of documented deaths of named children who died while attending a residential school?
The anger of homeowners in Los Angeles is growing as they are facing an insurance crisis as companies could struggle to cover the staggering costs of the wildfires.
Tens of thousands of displaced LA residents have lost everything but the clothes they were wearing and a few select personal items, leaving insurance companies on the hook for colossal payouts.
But customers of one of California’s biggest insurancers ranted against the company last week after the company cancelled fire coverage for thousands of homeowners in the Pacific Palisades last summer in an attempt to avoid ‘financial failure’.
There is reason enough for Canadians to be hopeful, even optimistic, about the future. It is tempting to despair in light of problems like inflation, ever-worsening housing affordability, and a possible tariff war with our largest trading partner. But Canada has good reason to believe in itself.
The U.S. president-elect is particularly taken with the idea of Canada becoming the 51st American state. Trolling aside, Donald Trump’s Canadian ambitions are more compliment than threat, and an indicator of the strategic importance of our vast country.
There can be little doubt that the recent prorogation of Parliament until March 24, announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Jan. 6, is in the best interests of the Liberal Party of Canada. All cabinet ministers, including the prime minister, will be exempt from parliamentary scrutiny for eleven weeks. Further, the minority Liberal government will be able to shield itself from a vote of non-confidence, also for eleven weeks, giving the Liberal Party all that time to choose its new leader.
Since the beginning of the new year, I’ve written about some of the ghastly child abuse in England that is deliberately ignored by the authorities. In particular, I addressed the “grooming gangs” that exploit young girls, as well as the government’s repeated failures to rescue Sara Sharif. These topics are unlikely to be discussed at the dinner table; horror-genre writers could not author passages as nightmarish as the stories relayed by the victims or judges.
A war of repression is under way
We all know the old joke: when a European referendum delivers the “wrong” outcome, the country votes again until they get it “right”. The EU thought this would be the case after Brexit. But so far, no one’s laughing.
If anything, things have got worse. Take Romania, which recently cancelled its presidential election when Călin Georgescu, leader of a nationalist Right coalition, won the first round. Thierry Breton, former French European Commissioner, revealed the EU’s mindset during a damning recent TV interview. “We did it in Romania and we will obviously do it in Germany if necessary,” he said. In other words, if you can’t beat the far-Right, ban them.
Good riddance
We knew it years ago that the wrong man was installed as president, by hook or by crook. Call it the lost four years.
Come to think of it, not bad for a title for someone’s next book. Or try this.
So now they are sorry. Too late. The damage has been done.
The lesson? Never trust the media…as you wave goodbye to the worst president in our history.
Much as summer follows spring and lootings follow natural disasters in major cities, media narratives about “Islamophobia” quickly follow every Muslim terrorist attack.
How long it takes varies depending on the death toll, how shocking the attack is, and what else is in the news.
The Sussexes’ performative compassion is as unbearable as ever.
Haven’t the poor people of Los Angeles suffered enough? Imagine losing everything in the incomprehensibly devastating wildfires, only to find yourself in the background of the latest photo-op by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
When a Canadian child was rushed to the hospital after nearly drowning, his parents say doctors threatened to take the child off life support and suggested harvesting his organs.
“We had 14 days to prepare his funeral and say goodbye to him,” Nicolas Tétrault, the boy’s father and a former Montreal politician, told The Federalist in English, his second language. “They were promoting to harvest the organs and give them away.”
Are med school admission standards favouring ghouls?
The famous garbage truck that President Trump rode in Wisconsin to highlight derogatory comments made by President Biden about Trump supporters will travel to the nation’s capital next week to appear in the inaugural parade, an employee for the company confirms to The New York Sun.
Co-leader Alice Weidel promised the “total closing of Germany’s borders” and “large-scale repatriations” of illegal migrants if elected.
Closing Germany’s borders to illegal immigration, exiting the euro zone, getting rid of windmills, and turning nuclear power plants back on—those are the top priorities named by right-wing opposition Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party at its congress over the weekend.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said there would be a ‘national unity crisis’ if Ottawa attempted to stop the flow of Alberta oil and gas to the U.S. in a potential trade dispute with President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods unless Canada resolves its border security problems. On Sunday, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Canada is not ruling out the restriction of energy exports to the U.S. as a potential countermeasure.
Donald Trump’s persistent talk of annexing Canada is partly bombast and means he wants an economic union, Canadian businessman Kevin O’Leary says.
Mr. O’Leary, also a reality TV star, has visited the U.S. president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago residence a number of times since Mr. Trump won the 2024 presidential election, most recently with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith this past weekend.
After a fire that never should have happened burned thousands of houses to the ground in a liberal enclave of Los Angeles through a combination of Democrat incompetence and more Democrat incompetence, you might ask yourself whether the deep blue people of Los Angeles are ever going to come to their senses and start electing people who aren’t a bunch of communist morons more concerned with Ghana junkets and lesbian representation at the fire department then with actually doing their jobs. Don’t bother asking. The answer is “No.” They’re never going to change. They can’t change. They’re going to keep on electing the same brand of Democrat mediocrities who got them into this mess, but they do have a plan. They’re going to blame the weather, insurance companies that don’t want to lose money, Donald Trump, and anything but themselves for the chaos they voted for.
