There is no particular reason to think that a gay, lesbian, black, brown, or any other “diverse” person (I hate that “diverse” can describe a person rather than a group!) couldn’t make an excellent fire chief.

“He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.”

One of the unexpected observations about those charlatans who have visited woke nonsense and leftist economic carnage upon us, is that these folks have no sense of humour.
This truism has recently manifested from a playful jab by the incoming president of the United States.
This week we bid farewell to Edmonton’s downtown Italian Bakery, which has turned out to be one of those nice things we can’t have anymore. The bakery’s been in the same location in the city’s Chinatown since 1960 — our Chinatown has some Vietnam, Italian and Portuguese seasoning. In 2020, with social conditions in the neighbourhood in free fall, the building fell victim to arson, but after a prolonged renovation it reopened 13 months ago.
In retrospect, maybe the military should have spent a little less time worrying about “white supremacists” and paid more attention to black Muslims. As you’ve no doubt heard by now, an Army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who happened to be a black Muslim, slaughtered 14 New Year’s revelers in New Orleans last week.
It’s difficult to recall, watching a defeated man finally yield to his fate outside Rideau Cottage this week, just how fervently Canadians fell for Justin Trudeau more than a decade ago. It was like Trudeaumania redux: he’d get stopped for selfies on the street, make headline news for appearing shirtless in public, and would absolutely electrify crowds of thousands of fawning students. Indeed, first-time voters turned out in record numbers to help deliver the Trudeau Liberals their first and only majority, which the eventual Prime Minister celebrated the day after the election with selfies with supporters in the Montreal Metro.
Can class, economic status or educational divide be the reason some of us knew Trudeau was a fraud from the get go while many of our “betters” fell hook line and sinker for the Little Prince’s BS?
From now on, we need to ask ourselves, “WWBWD?”

Undocumented in Canada, she’s emerging from the shadows to fight for equal rights
Monieya Jess never imagined her life in Canada would turn out like this, living undocumented, in the shadows of society. But now she’s risking deportation by speaking out — part of an effort to expose an underground workforce that’s vulnerable to exploitation and likely to grow.
“It’s a nightmare,” she said. “I try to live day by day.”
The 36-year-old from Jamaica left two sons behind in 2021 to pick strawberries at a farm in Nova Scotia on a 90-day temporary work permit. Jess left the farm shortly after she arrived, because she says her employer refused to help her get medical treatment for pain related to her work.
She’s from Jamaica and she’s here illegally so send her back.
This is the sort of uber left slop served up daily by the CBC.
A “sob story” about illegal aliens written without regard for the costs Canadians have to pay for destructive elite virtue signaling.

Goodbye EU, hello AU? It’s been evident for a few months now that Donald Trump’s second administration will be more geostrategically ambitious than his first. Yesterday, in another extraordinary press conference in Mar-a-Lago, we got a glimpse of what Trump and his advisors are thinking for the planet in 2025 and beyond.
Trump reiterated his desire to annex Canada and Greenland. He declared that the Gulf of Mexico should be called the Gulf of America and told Hamas “all hell will break loose” if its Israeli hostages are not returned before his inauguration.
The scenes from the wildfires devastating Los Angeles are apocalyptic. As of this writing, more than 1,000 homes, businesses, and other buildings have been destroyed, and two people have died. Firefighters have battled, with little success, flames spread by hurricane-force winds from Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica—wealthy areas in western L.A. near the Santa Monica Recreation Area—to the east in Eaton (near Pasadena) and toward the Cattle Canyon Bride, located near the San Bernadino National Forest.
HOLY CRAP. Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles is GONE.

Yet another country decides it is done with the woke globalist agenda and “Bidened” their prime minister — Justin Trudeau.
You probably already know that the guy in the middle is Justin Trudeau. You likely already know the guy on the right is Fidel Castro. The guy on the left? That’s Pierre Trudeau, who is supposed to be Justin’s dad.
The rumor that goes way back is that the elder Trudeau, then a rising Canadian political star (he ultimately became prime minister), and his, er, liberated wife took a trip to Havana to pay homage to Cuba’s communist dictator, and, well, one thing led to another.
The family of a Palestinian female journalist has accused the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces of killing their daughter in Jenin Refugee Camp in the northern West Bank. Shatha al-Sabbagh, 22, was reportedly shot in the head by a PA sniper on December 29, 2024, as she walked out of her home. PA officials have denied the allegation and claimed that al-Sabbagh was killed by gunmen in the camp.
Slightly less than a decade ago, Canada’s newly elected, youthful prime minister seemed the conscious opposite of his soon-to-be counterpart on the rise in the United States. Justin Trudeau embraced refugees, celebrated multiculturalism, advocated climate action and styled himself a feminist. Donald Trump, meanwhile, bulldozed his way through the 2016 Republican presidential primary while stoking anti-immigrant furor, demonizing Muslims and mocking women. Trudeau, WorldView noted in early 2016, was “the anti-Trump” — a branding that many in the center-left leader’s inner circle seemed to welcome.
She and her neighbors are devastated.

Among the most senior officials in Ottawa, there is a document circulating that outlines specific details about how Canada could retaliate against Donald Trump’s tariff threat.
The list includes hundreds of American-made goods that Canada is considering hitting with retaliatory tariffs, according to a senior Canadian government source.
American steel products, ceramics including toilets and sinks, glassware, flowers and different types of plastics are all included as possible targets for retaliatory tariffs.
Threaten to exile Justin to America that’ll bring the USA to its knees!
