Trump Begets a Resurrection of Common Sense

As the Christmas holidays and the year end approach, I respectfully take it upon myself to recommend that thoughtful Americans reflect upon how close the United States came in recent years to roaring through and over the guardrails of its constitutional democracy like a derailed express train.

Call it the James Comey-Andrew Weissmann-Merrick Garland-Marc Elias school of fervent and illegal agitation for America as a one-party socialist state, inundated with the teeming masses of the world but governed always from the elitist left inflated with sanctimony while hyperactively dishonest and hypocritical.

Freeland finally says what Trudeau needs to hear as she exits cabinet

It took Chrystia Freeland’s exit letter for the former federal finance minister to say what business leaders, and a vast chunk of the population, have long wanted to hear her tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

It’s time to get serious, said Ms. Freeland as she quit the federal cabinet on Monday, after Mr. Trudeau told her on Friday he planned to move her out of the Finance Department. Time to “recognize the gravity of the moment” by partnering with premiers to face the existential threat posed by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s planned tariffs. Time to deal with persistent productivity problems.

Morning Joe: Pete Hegseth’s a ‘Retrograde Throwback’ to ‘The Crusades’

Presumably, even Morning Joe’s fierce feminist warriors wouldn’t have ordered female soldiers to storm the beaches and scale the cliffs of Normandy on D-Day.

But that didn’t stop today’s panel from hammering Pete Hegseth for his views on women in the military. Retired Admiral James Stavridis, Joe Scarborough, and “MSNBC Republican” Elise Jordan misrepresented Hegseth’s position. They suggested that he opposes allowing women in the military, full stop. That’s entirely false.

Christopher Dummitt: ‘Safety’-obsessed schools are a barrier to education

It’s so reassuring to know Canada’s schoolteachers are on the lookout for the tiniest of harms that might befall our kids.

The latest example of exuberant emotional vigilance comes from the London District Catholic School Board which has decided that some students might be “triggered” by the African-Canadian novelist Lawrence Hill’s The Book of Negroes.

Missing radioactive material in New Jersey sparks drone theories: They’re ‘looking for something,’ mayor says

A New Jersey mayor warned Tuesday that the troubling drone sightings over the state may be linked to missing radioactive material, although federal officials say the amount poses no serious threat either way.

Belleville Mayor Michael Melham said the drones flying in a grid-like pattern over his Essex County township appear to be “looking for something.

Our failed immigration policy has hit food banks hard

Foreign students are a big part of food banks’ new users. Ottawa needs to make sure people coming here to study bring enough money for food

The Daily Bread and North York Harvest food banks recently released their annual Who’s Hungry report. It’s based on a central database used by food banks across Toronto, along with nearly 1400 survey responses collected at 67 sites across the GTA. The data show that in the past year Toronto’s food banks received a record-breaking 3.49 million client-visits this year, nearly a million more than last year.

A loophole in the Safe Third Country Agreement could cause Canada big problems

Canadian authorities are preparing for a wave of unauthorized border crossings by migrants fleeing tough immigration measures from the Trump government, and early reports from Quebec media are suggesting that attempted crossings from upstate New York are already on the rise. While increasing border security is part of the solution, Canada should also look at closing a loophole in our border agreement with the U.S. that could be incentivizing illegal migration.

Star Lickspittle suggests Freeland should have been be more Eva Braun & less Karla Homolka

Chrystia Freeland lost confidence in Justin Trudeau — and she showed it in the most damaging way possible

It wasn’t Chrystia Freeland’s announcement Monday that she was quitting as finance minister that marked the third and final act of Justin Trudeau’s government.

It was how she quit. How she tried to define what siding with the prime minister says about Liberals — MPs and cabinet ministers alike — and in doing so paved the way for deeper internal divisions and the impending showdown waiting in the wings.

Trudeau and Freeland did this …
