In the annals of crazy but true, an Ontario court has upheld a shocking decision that allows a self-confessed child sex abuser to practise law.
The cringeworthy campaign for Harris made it clear – voters aren’t simply going to do what mega-rich celebrities tell them to
Iwish celebrities would learn the art of the French exit. But they can’t, which is why Eva Longoria has announced she no longer lives in America. “I get to escape and go somewhere,” she explained. “Most Americans aren’t so lucky – they’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country.” What’s brought this on, apart from the obvious? “Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes … it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.” Great to learn that Eva dislikes both homelessness and taxes. America’s loss of this major political thinker is some other country’s gain – and this highly called-for intervention reminds us why celebrities should speak their brains even more often. If only into a pillow, or an abyss.
When even the Guardian turns on you!

One of the most revered days in the Canadian calendar was caught up in controversy this week as a debate raged over the appropriateness of playing an Arabic song and invoking the transatlantic slave trade during Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has accused some event organizers of being too “woke” and defiling a day meant to mourn war dead and pay respect to Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought to protect the country.
Remembrance Day is not about Islamists and their imaginary idol Mohammed the child molester nor is it about Canada’s imaginary guilt for imaginary slavery etc etc etc..
New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss act spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.
