Trudeau’s replacement migrants plan one-day strike Dec. 18

Immigrants sick of being scapegoated plan one-day strike Dec. 18

This year “we’ve seen an aggressive shift against the temporary migrant in Canada, whether student, refugee, temporary worker, with numerous migration restrictions from one day to the next that are creating greater precariousness for migrant workers,” Immigrant Workers Centre organizer Hector Salamanca told reporters.

The Grift is over.

Oregon high schoolers stand up to board for letting ‘pedophile’ teacher continue working

Outraged Oregon high school students blasted the school board for letting a teacher accused of pedophilia continue working despite mounting allegations.

The St. Helens School District was forced to cancel classes, place the superintendent and high school principal on leave and accept the board chair’s resignation following the arrest of two teachers on child sex abuse charges.

Choir teacher Eric Stearns, 46, and retired math teacher Mark Collins, 64, were arrested on Tuesday after police conducted a two-month long investigation into historical sexual abuse at St. Helens High School.

Harrison Lowman: Why conservatives despise the CBC, why they can’t wait to tear it to shreds, and why they have a point

A few days ago, for the first time in my life, the CBC opened its airwaves to its critics, and I got to complain.

It happened in the unlikeliest of places, on a CBC radio show called Commotion, which the national public broadcaster describes as a place for “vibrant conversations” about “all things pop culture.”

The panel conversation, titled “Three Critics on the Future of the CBC,” was timely. Not only is the Trudeau government’s announcement about a new CBC mandate expected any day now, but an advisory panel is busy furiously studying how to modernize the broadcaster, and a new CEO has just been named.

Malala: I never imagined women’s rights would be lost so easily

A bullet failed to silence her, now Malala Yousafzai is lending her voice to the women of Afghanistan.

In just a few years since the Taliban retook control of the country, women’s rights have been eroded to the point where even singing is banned.

Malala has a personal history with the Taliban across the border in Pakistan, after a gunman from the hardline Islamist group shot her as she sat on a school bus.

The speed of change in Afghanistan, if not the brutality, has surprised Malala, who since that near-fatal shooting in 2012 has campaigned for equality.


Our elites declared Malala was Islam with a human face and pushed that lie on the rest of us to control the narrative.

After Biden’s Kabul rout those same elites were pushing a Kinder Gentler Taliban 2.0.

I have nothing against Malala she’s made out like a bandit thanks to Liberal guilt and their enthusiasm for communists.

But the grift was pretty thin to start with and her statement on the loss of women’s rights sounds like something “The Resistance” would mouth on their 2nd box of wine while grieving over Trump.

Canada’s Crickets-for-Food Schemes Are Turning Out To Be a Bust for Climate Crusaders

Canada’s multimillion-dollar factory to farm crickets is falling silent amid layoffs. Once dismissed as a “right-wing conspiracy theory,” harvesting insects for human consumption is an emerging policy goal for the worldwide left. Without an understanding of the market, though, such schemes will be a breakfast boondoggle.

“In matters of taste,” a quote attributed to various retail pioneers goes, “the customer is always right.” The first half of the slogan has fallen away in the century since it emerged, truncated to “the customer is always right.” On the matter of serving bugs, the entire phrase is being ignored by those who think they know better.

Trump’s immigration crackdown is expected to start on Day 1

In his first 100 days, President-elect Donald Trump plans to begin the process of deporting hundreds of thousands of people. He is expected to end parole for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. And he is likely to undo a policy that significantly constrained deportations for people who weren’t deemed threats to public safety or national security.

Shootout mayhem on Queen Street West is another blow to Toronto’s eroding sense of safety

This week in my Toronto neighbourhood, a scene of utter mayhem unfolded.

It happened just after 11:00 on Monday night. Undercover cops were staking out a recording studio on Queen Street West near Dufferin Street. Suddenly, a stolen white Honda pulled up. Three guys armed with handguns jumped out. They started shooting toward the back of the studio building at 1196 Queen, where dozens of people had gathered for a birthday party. Several of the partygoers rushed out and returned fire.

NYT dragged for hilariously botched ‘fact check’ of RFK Jr.’s war on artificial ingredients

This New York Times “gotcha” is about as sharp as a soggy bowl of breakfast cereal.

The Times was relentlessly mocked over the weekend for appearing to unintentionally make Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s case in a recent article that tried to poke holes in his anti-processed-food crusade.

Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has long pushed for purging artificial ingredients from the food supply, routinely calling such additives “poison.”

BIKE LANE BATTLE: Council calls on Ford for respect, to leave cyclists alone

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: What does it mean to Mayor Olivia Chow?

Toronto council on Thursday evening debated not just the removal of bike lanes, but also the nature of democracy in Ontario’s capital, at the behest of the mayor.


The Toronto bike lane that went too far and sparked a backlash from Doug Ford’s government

Between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., on an unseasonably warm, sunny weekday in October, 18 cyclists travel in the eastbound bike lane on Bloor Street West in Etobicoke, in front of a church, where elderly men and women struggle to climb the stairs to their morning sermon.

Local resident and former Toronto city councillor John Campbell watches ruefully. He voted for the extension of the Bloor West bike lanes from Shaw Street to Runnymede Road when he represented what was then Ward 4 (Etobicoke Centre) from 2014 to 2018.

Biden authorises Ukraine to use long-range missiles inside Russia

US-made ATACMS missiles, with a range of nearly 200 miles, are likely to be used against Russian and North Korean troops in the Kursk region

President Biden has signalled a major shift in US policy, authorising the first use of American-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes deep inside Russia.
The weapons, with a range of nearly 200 miles, are likely to be initially employed against Russian and North Korean troops who are fighting Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of western Russia, US media reported.

Let the senile Prez do the heavy lifting. Great idea.
