I’m shocked the DNC paid this wee dolt.
Geoff Russ: Canada’s failing multiculturalism needs a rethink
Support for Canadian multiculturalism is not a free-flowing fountain of unlimited harmony and goodwill. It has limits, and they have been breached for all to see.
On Friday, Liberal MP Chandra Arya reported that he was threatened by fellow Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal and aggressively accosted by another unnamed MP in the hallways of Parliament. In response to these events, Arya complained that he “should be able to express (his) opinion, (his) views, freely in the House and (he) should not (feel) threatened by any words or actions of (his) fellow members.”
Multicult is divisive and must be abandoned.
WTF?
Crazy. Delusional. Brainwashed. This woman has been called names since insisting Kamala will be President come January.

This is the first time Jihadists have defeated a regime by force
The new Syria will be no better than Afghanistan, it will take some time and the jihadist rebels will start applying Sharia – and who knows what else they have planned.
On April 17, 1975, Sven-Oskar Ruhmen of the leading Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet was in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. He described the arrival of the Khmer Rouge in the city as follows: “For a Swedish spectator, it was an extraordinary spectacle. Personally, I have never seen a more beautiful scene. I felt happy and relieved and could not help but cry at what I saw.”
Partial History: FDR and America First
A prolific historian eschews subtlety assessing Lindbergh and mollycoddles the hypercautious Roosevelt.
Franklin Roosevelt’s battle with the famous aviator and anti-interventionist Charles Lindbergh is often presented as a morality play showing Roosevelt to be the long-sighted hero in the war on fascism. Since then, Democrats have lobbed charges of fascism against Republicans, the latest being Donald Trump.
So, one wonders at the timing of two books this year. On September 24, came the latest of thirty books by history professor H.W. Brands, America First: Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War, which followed the June 4, release of Awakening the Spirit of America: FDR’s War of Words with Charles Lindbergh — and the Battle to Save Democracy by former director of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, Paul M. Sparrow.
Edmonton police commissioner plans to serve 2 final years of his term from Portugal
John McDougall, a seven-year member of the Edmonton police commission and its current chair, plans to spend two more years on the oversight board from Portugal.
In a statement released Friday, McDougall said he is retiring from his career in the Canadian Armed Forces and moving overseas.
His time as the commission chair is up on Dec. 31, 2024, and he said he won’t seek that position again. But his appointment as a commission member lasts until the end of 2026, and McDougall intends to stay on for the rest of his term despite the move to Europe.
The Dark Side of Offshore Wind
New York and New Jersey’s turbines could devastate local habitats.
A government regulator recognizing offshore wind’s destructive environmental effects is as rare as a North Atlantic right whale. But a recent, 600-plus page report from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) admits that the offshore wind development planned for the New York Bight—the triangular area bordered by the New Jersey and Long Island coastlines—may irreversibly harm whales, commercial and recreational fisheries, and seabirds.
The BOEM report is the agency’s first to evaluate the cumulative impacts of offshore wind development. Its authors cite a wide range of potential effects, from negligible (or even beneficial) to major. Acknowledging potentially “major” harms is a radical departure from the agency’s previously accepted Environmental Impact Statements for offshore wind projects, which have always focused on the impacts of individual projects, rather than the cumulative impacts of multiple projects.
New Jersey? Maybe the drones will take out the turbines!
MANDEL: Could charge be stayed for girl in shocking swarming slaying?
As the second anniversary approaches of the vicious swarming death of Kenneth Lee, one of three girls who pleaded guilty to manslaughter is up on new charges in Peel.
But even the judge in the swarming case wasn’t told what they are.
Lucky for her, though, both the Crown and defence agree she should receive enhanced credit for the 93 days she spent in custody on those charges when Justice David Rose calculates how much, if any, time she should serve for her role in the senseless slaying of the homeless man shortly after midnight on Dec. 18, 2022.
Do we really know who the good guys are in Syria?
Anything is better than Assad, isn’t it?
Please excuse the tone of jubilation, but I have been dancing around my kitchen for the past couple of days, in a state well beyond elation, at the removal from power of Bashar al-Assad’s murderous regime in Syria and its successors who, I am convinced, are a little like some of the West’s liberal democrats, except with powerful rifles.
Toronto city manager’s rejection of ridiculous report should be applauded
Something interesting and rather encouraging just happened at Toronto City Hall. (You can’t say that every day.) A leading official pushed back just a little against the reigning orthodoxies of our time and said: Hey, wait a minute. For that, he deserves not just our thanks but our cheers. We should be carrying him through the streets on our shoulders.
The official is Paul Johnson. He is city manager, the highest unelected official in Toronto’s government. He was reacting to a report from Ombudsman Kwame Addo, who plays a watchdog role down at City Hall. The report looked at a brief period in 2022 and 2023, when the city was turning refugee claimants away from its main system of homeless shelters.
The Media And The Lie That Was The Duke Lacrosse Coverage
Well isn’t this interesting.
A headline this week:
The Victim Involved in the Infamous Duke Lacrosse Players Sexual Assault Case Admits She Lied
For those who came in late, back there in the Stone Age of 2006, three Duke University lacrosse players were accused of raping a stripper, a stripper who happened to be black. Her name: Crystal Magnum. The players denied the allegations.
Thieves Get a Taste for Cheese and Butter Amid Surging Prices
British Columbia business owner Joe Chaput will spend $5,500 a month on security guards during the holiday season and plans on upgrading his store’s video camera system for around $5,000 more.
He’s not selling luxury brands or expensive jewels.
Chaput sells cheese, and at Christmas, cheese is a hot commodity.
Scott Jennings Calls Out Ridiculousness of ‘My Truth’ After Caitlin Clark Panders to Woke Mob
WNBA star Caitlin Clark may have made some comments about the “privilege” she has in being white after she was named Time’s athlete of the year, but that doesn’t mean the woke mob will forgive her.
Very disappointing.
Report highlights food bank reliance among refugees in Canada
A significant portion of refugees in Canada, particularly those sponsored by the government, face substantial challenges in their initial years, with many relying on food banks and social assistance, according to a report from the Department of Immigration.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the study evaluated the experiences of refugees admitted between 2016 and 2022, a period during which Canada welcomed 207,060 refugees, including 88,838 government-assisted individuals.
