Geoff Russ: Only clowns label Canadians ‘settlers’

The division of this country into modernized factions of cowboys and Indians is fully embraced by public sector unions. This practice, however, does not resonate with the average Canadian — not by a long shot, according to the results of a Leger poll released last Friday.

Just 23 per cent of Canadians identify themselves as a “settler” or a “colonist.” Roughly half — 47 per cent — reject the label, while 30 per cent have no opinion or do not care.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris is at the center of a new storm for forgoing hurricane season preparedness briefings that were a staple of her predecessor Mike Pence’s annual calendar — with critics arguing the omission reflects how she may govern as president.

Foes of the Democratic presidential nominee highlighted the missing briefings as the death toll from Hurricane Helene soared past 143 in the Southeast — while Harris scrambled back to Washington from Las Vegas Monday afternoon to attend a FEMA briefing and booked a trip Wednesday to storm-hit Augusta, Ga.

The full, alarming truth about mass migration is finally being exposed

There are few more inconvenient truths in modern Britain than the failure of mass migration. We wanted to believe the myth, that we could fling open our doors and into the UK would flow migrants from across the globe, transforming our nation into a prosperous melting pot.

Mélanie Joly says war has broken out in Middle East — and ‘all parties’ must agree to ceasefire

OTTAWA — After Iran’s stunning missile attacks on Israel and Israel-led ground operations into Lebanon, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Tuesday war has broken out in the Middle East and called on “all parties” to agree to a ceasefire to avoid devastating civilian casualties.

Joly said Canada “unequivocally” condemns Iran’s missile attacks on Israel which “will only serve to further destabilize the region, and it must stop,” as she issued another urgent warning to Canadians to leave Lebanon — warnings she admitted have not been widely heeded. On the contrary, another cabinet minister said some Lebanese-Canadians are taking a risk and “actually going to Lebanon” against the government’s advice.

In 2018, she published the eponymous book The Orange Shirt Story, which is now in school libraries across Canada. The plot is of a young child in a forbidding-looking residential school losing her shirt to faceless, black-habited Catholic nuns who force her to shower, give her new institutional clothes, crop her hair, and hover over her while she prays at bedtime.

Want your DNA profile from the RCMP’s DNA bank? You can’t have it, a new ruling finds

OTTAWA – A person’s DNA profile may dictate who they are but, if it’s in the RCMP’s DNA bank, they aren’t allowed to have it.

That’s according to a first-of-its-kind decision published this summer by Information Commissioner Caroline Maynard. The ruling is an example of how the government can sometimes legally withhold even extremely personal data like one’s DNA profile in certain cases.
